@totallyhuman yeah. Haven't you used that like all the time?

@PeterTaylor would you mind deleting your redundant comments, so that the comments section doesn't get too cluttered.

CMC: generate 5 integers that do not generate any results on OEIS

@Cowsquack print('0, 1269289723032, 73527230783, 3247823780234, 457823487045, 1')

Cows quack

ehhh too verbose

you can remove the spaces

but hey, it's a start!

totallyhuman

but yes that's not a sequence

@Cowsquack 1,23,11,37,19

@Cowsquack you didn't say winning criteria ;)

@BusinessCat nice

oh wow nice

how'd you just...

1,23,1,37,1 is shorter

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Mr.Xcoder Watch this and skip to the 3:29 mark. That's what Cthulhu's for, right?

Business Cat

I figured primes in a bizarre order like that wouldn't show up

And I was right

Cows quack

I'll give brownie points if all integers are less than 10

Mr. Xcoder

@cairdcoinheringaahing Hmmm

totallyhuman

well i suck at this

caird coinheringaahing

@Cowsquack -4,6,-2,-9,3

Do I get brownie points?

totallyhuman

i think that's there

caird coinheringaahing

@totallyhuman I couldn't find it on OEIS :(

totallyhuman

oh noes is my library bork

caird coinheringaahing

oeis.org/…

none have the negative numbers in them

totallyhuman

ah

so it's not my library

it's oeis's search algorithm

that's way funky though

oeis just ignores negative numbers apparently :/

or rather the sign of the numbers

Business Cat

There's only 100000 possibilities with integers < 10, just try them all

Leaky Nun

all my life on ppcg I've been focusing on golfing codes

it is only when I visit PE that I came to knowledge of my lack of knowledge of algorithms

of skills to solve problems efficiently

totallyhuman

a(n) ~ (3/pi^2) * n^4

wth is ~

Leaky Nun

@totallyhuman asymptotic

like, it approaches

totallyhuman

oh

well that's not gonna be useful

Q: Lets divide a lattice

Lets say we have a n × n lattice; we can then divide the lattice into two sections by drawing a line through the lattice. Everything to one side of the line is in one set and everything else in another. How many ways can we divide the lattice in the manner? For example lets take a 2 × 2 lattic...

Anybody know any good browsers here?

I screwed up Safari somehow...

Chrome is a memory thingy

and Opera keeps crashing for no reason (and I can't recover the darn window)

Business Cat

Firefox?

Zizouz212

And firefox is too fiery

totallyhuman

oh well :/

Business Cat

Lynx :P

Zizouz212

17:21

Meh I've used it... And quite frankly, I don't like it and it also crashes a lot

I think I've royally screwed up this computer somehow...

Leaky Nun

@Zizouz212 re-install?

Zizouz212

searches "best browsers" in Google

Business Cat

Clearly you should use Internet Explorer V <10

The pinnacle of browsing

Zizouz212

lololol

caird coinheringaahing

@Mr.Xcoder why do I have write access for Pyth training?

Zizouz212

17:22

Never going anywhere near that thing

totallyhuman

netscape navigator of course

Zizouz212

@LeakyNun Didn't think of that...

totallyhuman

Mr. Xcoder

@cairdcoinheringaahing I am a RO

totallyhuman

caird coinheringaahing

17:23

@Mr.Xcoder yeah but why can I talk there?

Zizouz212

I actually loved Opera - it had a built-in vpn and ad-blocker. It just keeps crashing (no big deal), but I can't recover the window

totallyhuman

at a screen resolution of 1024×1

c'mon nobody gets the reference?

Mr. Xcoder

@cairdcoinheringaahing Do you want write access?

Business Cat

@totallyhuman ಠ_ಠ

Zizouz212

Chrome... Opera... Edge... Firefox... Vivaldi?

no don't go to the dark side

Q: "A crossed out 4 is still a 4"

There seems to be a running joke on Code Golf that "A crossed out 4 is still a 4". On Find an Illegal String, Step Hen posted the following answer. Taxi, 4 5 bytes crossed out 4 is still 4 :( '"]'" This post linked to Mayube's answer for User Appreciation Challenge #1: Dennis ♦ ...

discussion

totallyhuman

@NewMetaPosts that's why the memes page should still stay

Zizouz212

What dark side?

totallyhuman

every other SE site was doing fine with their own memes page

@Zizouz212 vivaldi :P

Zizouz212

I'm guessing it sucks?

It's Norwegian o_O

Ah screw it. I'm trying it.

Business Cat

17:27

@NewMetaPosts VTC as dupe of memes

totallyhuman

you can't vote as dupe of a deleted question o0

Business Cat

Yeah, that's why I didn't actually do it

totallyhuman

anyways that question's probably gonna get nuked too

Zizouz212

OMG it's so pretty!

It's asking me what colours I like!

totallyhuman

i dunno whether to upvote or downvote this post

Poke

17:32

@NewMetaPosts and here's the reason we had a memes page

totallyhuman

exactly

Zizouz212

You folks have memes?

Poke

nope

totallyhuman

we did

but y'know... it got deleted

Poke

it seems we'd rather pollute meta

Zizouz212

17:33

I thought you were subordinate robots who tried to make random things as little as possible, with your weird communication tools :P

totallyhuman

no i am completely definitely human

Poke

robots can be funny

and smart

Mr. Xcoder

CMC: n -> [1,2,3,4,5,6,7, ... , n!]. Must only handle arbitrarily small numbers; n>0

Mr. Xcoder

Pyth, 3 bytes: S.!

Poke

17:35

obligatory south park plug

Mr. Xcoder

@Poke lol

Business Cat

Gaia 2 bytes: f┅

Mr. Xcoder

It would be 3 bytes in Cthulhu 😭😭

totallyhuman

why wouldn't you use ! for factorial :P

Mr. Xcoder

@totallyhuman because that's logical negation?

Business Cat

17:37

^ exactly

totallyhuman

¬

¬_¬

Mr. Xcoder

@totallyhuman because that's bitwise negation?

totallyhuman

¬ is actual logical negation ¬_¬

Business Cat

Because characters for other things have variations of ! to mean NOT so ! has to be negation

~ can also be negation in logic :P

totallyhuman

that's bitwise not :P

Business Cat

17:39

In programming, yes

Mr. Xcoder

Isn't ~ bitwise not in programming?

Zizouz212

~ unary flip!

totallyhuman

and ! is logical not in programming

Zizouz212

~6 -> -7

totallyhuman

i fail to see your logic :P

Mr. Xcoder

17:41

@totallyhuman Because I am ~totallyhuman

Zizouz212

You all talk too much. I went away for like, 30 seconds to find a new song to listen to

totallyhuman

anyways

i expect an answer to the meta post with ಠ_ಠ in the title

DJMcMayhem

@Mr.Xcoder 3 bytes in MATL: :p:

Zizouz212

@totallyhuman -_-

totallyhuman

@DJMcMayhem full of emoticons

DJMcMayhem

17:43

Yeah

And !R in Jelly

totallyhuman

ಠ_ಠ ¬_¬ o_o -_- < we are the faces of disapproval and we have come to disapprove

really anything with _ as the mouth is disapproving

Phoenix

@Mr.Xcoder Mathematica: Range@#!&

Hooray for 1-indexing

DJMcMayhem

@Mr.Xcoder Brain-flak, 72 bytes: ({}<(())>){(({}<>)[()]<({<({}[()])><>({})<>}{}<><{}>)>)}{}{(({})[()])}{}

Steven Vascellaro

@totallyhuman I see I've unintentionally started a discussion about memes.

totallyhuman

17:50

ah yes there are a lot of people who want the memes page back

Steven Vascellaro

I hadn't realized it was a topic of debate

totallyhuman

ah there's no debating

it is most definitely gone

Steven Vascellaro

There was a similar meme on reddit known as "The Reddit Switcheroo"

I knew I had to stop clicking after a certain point, lest I get trapped

(The hyperlink chain at the end took way too long to format)

Poke

haha yeah

Step Hen

OK, is there any language which errors no matter what the code is?

Poke

17:57

The old ppcg-a-roo

Step Hen

I really really really want to find one, or just write one myself

Poke

@StepHen that seems like it would be a bad language

Step Hen

OK, but does one exist

or should I write the interpreter right now

Business Cat

There are languages that always output to STDERR...

totallyhuman

errory mcerroryface

Steven Vascellaro

17:58

@StepHen Ok, I need to know the context for wanting this

totallyhuman

all my suggested names shall henceforth be in this format

Step Hen

@BusinessCat Example?

Business Cat

huh? sort of qualifies since it can never understand your code :P

Poke

I don't think such a language would even qualify as a language

Step Hen

@BusinessCat OK, are there any valid programs in huh??

Business Cat

17:59

No, it's a joke language
