@Dennis TIO feature request: CMC-formatted output: <lang>, <N> bytes: [`<code>`](<permalink>)
@totallyhuman I was just writing the feature-request here, in TNB. Do you read minds?
CMC: cast 10 votes on sandboxed posts & post 5 feedback comments on sandboxed posts. The sandbox needs more feedback.
14
Note: do not serial upvote.
CMC: n -> [1,n*2, 2, n*2-1, ..., n, n+1]
6 -> [1, 12, 2, 11, 3, 10, 4, 9, 5, 8, 6, 7]

7-byte non-trivial solution in Pyth @Mr.Xcoder
What do you mean by non-trivial?
@Mr.Xcoder that you probably wouldn't think of it in 100 years
@LeakyNun Yeah, that makes sense. I want to solve it myself, so I won't look at that spoiler
FGITW'D
Already did it
12:51
@Mr.Xcoder Apart from a TIO link I'd practically done it correct then :)
@TheLethalCoder Yeah, the language and code are hardly being missed
(and the byte count, of course)
@Mr.Xcoder Jelly, 6 bytes: Ḥ‘ạRĖẎ
Beats Pyth :(((
@LeakyNun I don't yet know what your solution is, but I also have 7 bytes
@Mr.Xcoder nice
Uses zip and tuple constructor
12:55
nice
I'll look at your spoiler now
@LeakyNun Yours is nice too :)
Also 7 bytes: sC(SQry
Last call, 5 upvotes in a day is pretty good:

Step HenAcronymize code-golf string This is similar to Making an acronym, but there are several key differences, including the method of fetching the acronym, and this challenge including flexible output.

@StepHen I think it's a good challenge
I also think it is ready to be posted
@StepHen for my OEIS challenge, what do you think of "If all languages on TIO, both practical and recreational, have been used, you may reuse any language you want, but not before."?
Anonymous
@cairdcoinheringaahing What happens when new languages are added to TIO?
13:06
@cairdcoinheringaahing I like that - when the time comes, you might need to make an exception for languages that physically cannot do it - maybe say once 200 langs from TIO are used? That fits with @Mego's thing too
@Mr.Xcoder sure, if you want, I can ask a mod to unfreeze the sed room
And I heavily doubt you'll get 200 answers any time soon (there are currently > 250 langs on TIO)
@StepHen there are only 175 languages
@Cowsquack No, leave it frozen
in talk.tryitonline.net, Jun 14 at 5:35, by Dennis
That's the 250th language. :)
13:07
@StepHen 275. I can't count
@StepHen Add a test case with a capital letter at the very end
Like ksajih-A
@Mr.Xcoder And one where it is invalid, right? Like ksajihA
@StepHen Yes, both
It's really a great challenge
And kind of trivial in Python
@Mr.Xcoder It's kind of trivial a lot of langs
But the people like trivial+good so w/e
@StepHen which is better? the first one or "If more than 150 languages are used, you can reuse languages"?
13:11
@StepHen Will you post it soon?
@cairdcoinheringaahing That works fine, I think. 150 sounds fine.
@Mr.Xcoder ~10 minutes or so, I'll ping you if you want
@Mr.Xcoder Added, look OK?
Yeah, good ones
@StepHen do you think this could be considered a dupe of mine?
@cairdcoinheringaahing It's very different
@StepHen I thought so but "OEIS" and "answer-chaining" = "panic"
13:16
@cairdcoinheringaahing It's saying "find an answer using a sequence that starts with numbers, then make an answer using a different sequence starting with numbers"

TheLethalCoderCreate a binary wall code-golf Given an array of positive integers, n > 0, output their representation of a binary wall. How does this work? Convert each number to it's binary representation. Pad the representation with leading zeroes to the length of the longest one i.e. 1, 2 -> 1, 10 -> 01...

@StepHen I think It will be my first answer in 2 days on your challenge.
I kind of FGITW'd it
Gave it an upvote in the first 15 seconds
@Mr.Xcoder it may be trivial, but it's still ~70 bytes
13:23
I know, but it's fun to solve
I will probably be outgolfed soon
@Mr.Xcoder The ' ' trick you do is nifty

3 upvotes in 3 minutes lol :)
@Mr.Xcoder Advertising Asking in chat tends to do that
@cairdcoinheringaahing - not ~

13:25
@StepHen I know what it means, I just think you overrated my trick
@NewMainPosts Wooorld Recoooord
I might also post a Swift one :)
Because I love using Swift for things it's awful at
Outgolfed >_<
I love seeing everybody outgolfing each other in Python
Might be one of Randall's best circles yet
13:34

@totallyhuman That circle?
@StepHen no the red freehand circle
True work of art
@cairdcoinheringaahing It's the newest one (I'm assuming)
I am happy with my solution anyway :)
13:37
@cairdcoinheringaahing yes, what about it?
@totallyhuman I just thought it was a random xkcd, and the coincidence was strong with this one
Did anyone say xkcd?
@Mr.Xcoder Yeah, why?
NVM, I was thinking about that challenge...
@StepHen Can we take input as a list of Strings (list of characters)?
13:44
@Mr.Xcoder Can you find a meta on that? I'm assuming it's somewhere
@StepHen I am asking you, the OP. Is it allowed?
(It would save ~50 bytes in Swift)
@Mr.Xcoder I know, I thought there was a meta somewhere that defined string, I guess not. If that's the case I'll allow it.
@StepHen Yeah, edit in
@StepHen I'm pretty sure there is a meta post that says something like "you can use any data type that neither loses nor gains any information" So string -> char[] is fine... I thought
@SocraticPhoenix That's true, but he's asking if he can do string -> string[] in langs without chars (I think) (your point may still be correct)
13:48
That's allowed by default
Dunno the meta post but thaty shouldn't be a problem
@totallyhuman That's what I thought but I can't find the meta post
@StepHen Also can we return the letters of the acronym separated by a newline?
Like:
N
A
T
O
?
@Mr.Xcoder Yes, or whatever else works for you
Not worth much, but I found the post I was talking about... it's only java though, but it is kind of common sense...
Does anyone know of any libraries for developing & interpreting a golfing language? They must exist... right? (just wondering really, and not sure where else to ask, google isn't very helpful...)
CMC: Output Randall's best circle (most round) from XKCD.
13:57
@StepHen Well in that case I can golf 3 bytes off
@programmer5000 what do you mean?
...and the upvotes for my trivial solution begin to pour in
which one?

A: Generate an Acronym

Business CatRetina, 21 17 bytes !`(?<=^| |-)[A-Z] Try it online! Explanation Outputs the matches of the regex (?<=^| |-)[A-Z] in the input, one per line (!).

@BusinessCat It's the shortest, so of course :P it's already on HNQ anyways

In chess, the N-Queens Puzzle is described as follows: Given an n x n chessboard and n queens, arrange the queens onto the chessboard so that no two queens are threatening each other.

@totallyhuman I don't think it's a dupe, unless the old one gets lots ofedits
@cairdcoinheringaahing I saw this challenge and got an idea: Sandbox

Bruce ForteMultiplying strings Inspired by this challenge, your task is to take two printable ASCII strings and multiply them element-wise with a certain rule. How does it work? Given two strings (for example hungry and wood) you will first, truncate the longer one such that they have equal length and th...

@BruceForte Find a title that's different enough
Yeah, that's what I put into the sandbox section.
@BruceForte aside from StepHen's comment, yeah that's fine.
How about "Find the maximum" of two strings :P
Although Add++ has a builtin for the main stage of that ;)
14:26
Ok, just wanted to make sure
I'll ban Add++ then ;)
/s
@BruceForte -1 for arbitrary language ban ;)
Seriously, has anybody got a good idea for a title?
I'm not good with this kind of stuff
:D
@BruceForte ` `/whitespace has code 32 - but the input is only printable ASCII, so there is only one possible whitespace, correct?
@BruceForte "Elementwise string multiplication"
ASCIIply Two Strings
14:28
@StepHen Yes
@cairdcoinheringaahing Good idea, thanks!
Umm you might wanna change the example from "hung wood" to something else...
I was wondering why this didn't work in Add++. I'm dumb
@totallyhuman I picked hungry because of this, but forgot that it gets trucated.. I will change this
Thanks!
@cairdcoinheringaahing You mean auto-truncation or what it's called?
That would be usual behaviour of zip-like functions
@BruceForte No. Check the language the page is on
Jelly.. (still don't get it, sorry)
14:34
@BruceForte That is the start to the solution in Add++. But It wasn't working because I was executing Jelly code rather than Add++.
Can any regex folks help me filter out -s? ethproductions.github.io/japt/…
@cairdcoinheringaahing Oh, haha
I guess they're pretty similar then?
Also I'm expecting an answer of you in like 10secs once it's in main :D
Finally added an explanation... It took me ~10 minutes to write it :0... I guess that's the reward for writing Swift answers....
@Oliver I happen to be a [^regex] folk... so I'm afraid I'm not much help to you :(
@Oliver I know regex but I don't understand this weird Japt-specific stuff
14:38
@BusinessCat Ah, sorry. %A is a shortcut for A-Z. So I have it translated to (^|[ -])A-Z
Is f just returning all matches?
Yeah, it's a this.match function
With the input as the target
I think it's because the [ -] is included in the match
Well the only way to not have the - or space not be part of the match is to use a lookbehind, but because it also has to look for the start that would make it variable-length which JS's regex flavor doesn't like
14:41
but JS does not have lookbehinds
ninja'd
Oh right
Doesn't have them at all
Stupid JS
I could just manually filter out -s. I was hoping to do it in the regex to save bytes
FWIW (^| |-) is shorter than (^|[ -])
man sometimes I don't understand voting behavior. I posted a shorter solution in the same language 30 min after another solution, and overnight mine gained 1 vote while his gained 4.
@BusinessCat Thanks!
14:43
holy crap I just came on here and I've already repcapped today >.<
@HyperNeutrino about to post the answer chaining one
@totallyhuman You think wood, hungry -> yarn can still be in the test cases?
welp 6 hours to go before I can start getting rep again ._.
dammit if you post the answer chaining one I won't be able to not post answers lol
@BruceForte yeah but it was the "hung wood" issue in the step-by-step
I'm going to get capped so hard today, I haven't even done anything yet and I've capped already (well actually last night counts as today because timezones) lol
14:45
Which one is that? I love answer chaining
@HyperNeutrino You repcapped for the last 3 days and you were asking How do people cap so easily?
@cairdcoinheringaahing That was stupid, I admit.
I have a looot to go until I get my silver tag badge :(
14:46
lol
lol I can't go over 8k rep today because of the cap :(
unless I get accepted lol
I cannot reach 5k either
rip
and geez I was at <400/1000 on gold tag badge about 3 days ago and I'm at 440/1000 right now lol
at least tag badge progress isn't capped :3
@HyperNeutrino chat.stackexchange.com/… (9 full pages)
@HyperNeutrino close to being able to hammer
not even close
not even half lol
14:48
@HyperNeutrino At this rate you'll beat me to it
@HyperNeutrino closer than me :(
lol I lol too much lol
@Mr.Xcoder I ask that a lot. I've repcapped exactly once.
@AdmBorkBork Really?
14:49
@AdmBorkBork me too!
I don't get it either
@AdmBorkBork I repcapped 6 times
@WheatWizard what do you mean by "this sequence is its own inverse"?
@StepHen a(i)=j -> f(j)=i
hm I should give out my two bounties sometime before they expire. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I have grace period still after all lol
14:50
If you look at the portion I provided you'll see that this is true for all of them
@HyperNeutrino I nominate any of my answers :)
@Mr.Xcoder me too and I have more than double your rep lol :P
kind of spooky I don't know why its happening
@cairdcoinheringaahing >.< you need to nominate specific ones
@HyperNeutrino you decide lol
I tried lol. I din't like lol
14:52
@Mr.Xcoder Yep. April Fool's day 2016 when I posted a cheesy PowerShell answer just before getting on the bus, came back the next day and saw like +45 upvotes on it.
I mean I've assigned the bounties already
C'MON PLEASE DON'T LET THIS DIE (ノ°Д°)ノ︵ ┻━┻
@HyperNeutrino looking at your bounties, I haven't answered either of those
14:54
yup I'm trying to FGITW it in python
@HyperNeutrino Hmmm
@HyperNeutrino Done ;)
@WheatWizard Might want to note that the sequence is 2-indexed, it really confused me at first
@StepHen Ah I did, but I can make it clearer
@WheatWizard Well, the unclear part was after Here are the first couple terms of the sequence: for me
You mentioned it in two other places
14:56
Yeah I'm editing that part in particular

Q: The bouncing sequence

Wheat WizardLet us define a sequence. We will say that a(n) is the smallest number, x, that has the following properties: x and n are co-prime (they share no factor) x does not appear earlier in the sequence |n - x| > 1 Unlinke most sequences the domain and range of our sequence are the integers greater...

@NewMainPosts Thank you for your service.
It makes me really happy that V is winning the acronym challenge by a huge margin :)\
