A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Stewie GriffinCops and robbers - Regex this Note, I haven't really decided what exactly the challenge should be, but I think I have a good idea for the cops/robber part. Example task (other suggestions are welcome): Write a code that takes an input n and creates a n-by-n "snake matrix" (I guess this has a r...

About the Sandbox comment: Am I missing something?
 
Christopher Peart
Christopher Peart
No idea
I didn't see anything missing
 
AdmBorkBork
AdmBorkBork
So, if the cop's regex is something like foo then the robber could do #foo \n code-here and the robber's answer would still match.
The cop would need to include something like ^foo or foo$ or some other restriction
 
Business Cat
Business Cat
I guess the idea is that the regex could be wrapped in ^ and $ and still match
 
AdmBorkBork
AdmBorkBork
4:43 PM
Yeah, I think that's the solution.
If the cops' regex is always of the form ^<something>$
 
Stewie Griffin

Just a note: I've written exactly one regex in my life...
 
Christopher Peart

:P
I have written... one?
 
Stewie Griffin
Stewie Griffin
The robber can't make any changes to the regex, only the code. So, if the cop writes a regex that only matches strings that starts with a number and contain exactly 6 characters, how can the robber circumvent it by adding a comment?
 
Riker
Riker
@Okx should be pretty simple to fix though
 
AdmBorkBork
AdmBorkBork
@StewieGriffin Because the regex is greedy and without things like ^ or $ to delimit the start/end of the string, the regex can match more than what's intended.
Matches a digit and then 5 alphabet characters
 
Stewie Griffin
Stewie Griffin
4:48 PM
@AdmBorkBork Then why can't the cop just add that?
 
AdmBorkBork
AdmBorkBork
But, you can put whatever you want in front of the 6 and it'll still match.
 
Stewie Griffin
Stewie Griffin
Are you saying it's impossible to write a regex that only matches the string abc and nothing else?
 
AdmBorkBork
AdmBorkBork
No, I'm saying that it's very easy for the cops to miss their regex.
It's very easy to accidentally write a regex that matches way more than intended.
 
Stewie Griffin
Stewie Griffin
@AdmBorkBork, I realize that. That's actually the main part of the challenge.
But do you think it's so hard that it makes the challenge too hard for the cops?
 
AdmBorkBork
AdmBorkBork
Well, there's a reason that regex that only matches itself is one of the highest-voted answers on this site.

I have an idea for a new esolang (inspired by 3b1b's e^pi*i = -1 video). The program will use a graph and points/vectors (haven't decided which yet) to calculate math stuff.

Kritixi Lithos
Kritixi Lithos
If I directly use 3b1b's idea, I will perform transformations on the plane and then determine which points land where to perform calculations. If I use my idea, then I will use vectors and perform transformations on the vectors instead, and to calculate stuff, I will determine the end points of those vectors after the transformations.
The question is, which idea should I use: transformations on plane, or transformations on vector(s)?

@Dennis When I run xclip, the program seems to wait for input and doesn't terminate until I ^C it

@DJMcMayhem I'm not really counting those people, they haven't shown to consistently create amazing posts.

@Pavel For example, etoplay averages 1500 rep per post
Where's your line? 10 posts? 20? 50?

Let's say 10

Anyway, it's kindof a silly statistic because anyone you pick is an outlier with one or two ridiculously high scoring posts and a bunch of small ones

I'm surprised Trichoplax only has 33 posts
I have more posts than that
What with him being a Mod and all.

So I have just found out that the esolangs specifications for Cardinal disagree with how it got implemented in TIO

So... I can post my N++ solution?
Wait, no, it doesn't work anyway, I need to type some text in ;-;
Howabout Google Chrome? If your start page is the new tab page, it will still have copyable things on it selected by <c-A>

@AdmBorkBork are you writing a challenge for dominosa? could be fun
it will likely just get brute forced
you could do a fastest code challenge which would be neat

@LliwTelracs in which way(s)?

@Poke No, I'm not planning to. Go ahead, if it interests you.

@MistahFiggins The esolang page says that the pointers have 2 bytes of memory. However, in TIO I can give the pointers values up to at least 3^34, which can not be stored in 2 bytes of memory.
So here is where I found out that you can get above 2 bytes of memory on the pointers for Cardinal in TIO

I believe Dominosa is np-hard problem
I'm terrible at proofs, but it feels very similar to other puzzles that are also np-hard

not np-complete?

I was just about to say something about rep-capping today, and for a second there I thought you psychically congratulated me for it before I even said anything, haha

@KritixiLithos As I said, you can assume input is empty. Just press ^D when you get the prompt.

<c-D> is EOF, right?

i think it's EOT technically
functionally EOF on unix

What is the C Shell referenced in this answer, and why does it look nothing like valid C?
 
LliwTelracs

Unix shell from 1978 Named because it looked more like C

Can confirm, looks nothing like C
