hm. there's no easy way to uniquify in Positron
Star if you understand this: Decimal expansion of A1*B1, the average number of non-isomorphic semisimple rings of any order, where A1 is prod_(m>1) zeta(m) and B1 is prod_(r*m^2>1) zeta(r*m^2).
@cairdcoinheringaahing nope
I forgot the set and list functions lol
any ideas?
@HyperNeutrino just check if the current number is in a before adding it in
posted A18
20:01
@HyperNeutrino oh too bad
no way to check if a list contains something
well rip I need to make Positron less stupid sometime lol
crap it's not 42 anymore xD
but it is terribly inefficient
@HyperNeutrino you just need a for loop
it's not 42 because it borked
20:02
oh right
lol
I have foreach fortunately lol
and even if I didn't, I have while and len lol
the next one is weird lol
I can golf my solution to oeis.org/A000037, should I do it?
@Cowsquack I'd say yes
dammit misread the question
20:06
lol
I still think it's plagiarism
my floor function isn't on TIO yet :(
@Cowsquack, it's annoying to spend time writing an answer and be beaten to the punch, but it's unnecessarily frustrating to spend time writing an answer and then discover that the previous one has been changed so that it's no longer the next sequence
As StepHen said earlier, if you're going to golf your answer do it before posting
48 mins ago, by totallyhuman
the segfault thing
@MDXF I suggested it /shrug
@totallyhuman it's invalid anyway
20:12
Answered A37!
@PeterTaylor I'm sorry, I thought golfing it would make it easier for the next answer

Q: Write a Program Using Only Alphanumeric Characters

user72528Challenge Print "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" with a program that uses only alphanumeric characters and spaces. The shortest program that successfully achieves this wins. Can you beat Bash? $ echo The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

Triple ninja?
ninja'd by 37 seconds lol
Triple ninja
~@!"^%! I hit the rep cap before posting that!!!!!!
20:14
The only 0-vote answers are mine: codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/133840/58826
Woohoo, another hard sequence
oshit this looks complicated
is it just me or is every OEIS sequence tagged "easy"
In hindsight, Black cap's would have been nicer
20:14
lol mine was decent too
@HyperNeutrino yeah but fibonacci is one that everyone wants
@cairdcoinheringaahing cQuents: $0=1:z+y
20:16
We've had 8 deleted answers on it
And now mine is the only non-upvoted one :(
Actually, don't upvote it. Wait until tomorrow ;)
Would this be invalid for the shortest error message challenge? main(){abort();}
wait @MDXF are you being serious about the plagiarism? o0
@totallyhuman Yeah seeing as how it's identical to mine, but also it's invalid as the error message is 20 bytes and the program is 19
Oh you just got the bytecount wrong :P
@totallyhuman it belongs to SE but as long as you credit MD XF, (and the program is valid) it should be fine
ok did not know that 0o
20:19
Well credit isn't as good as rep :P but oh well, FGITW I guess
Plus I have a shorter one if it's valid
From my profile: "Rep gained since last visit: 206. Rep gained on : 16" :D
@MDXF I would think that'd be similar to raise and thus invalid.
@AdmBorkBork Yeah just checked the manpage, it actually calls raise
(ノ°Д°)ノ︵ ┻━┻
Before rep capping: "I really want to rep cap" After rep capping: "Damn you rep cap!"
20:24
mm i'm really close to capping for the first time
@totallyhuman how close?
I was 15 away, now I am 17 away
one downvote ;-;
and plus my rep is now not a nice round number
I am very salty >.>
how could I get +2 rep
@cairdcoinheringaahing mhm precisely
:o now 7 close
I capped!
\o/
now after this you'll be like "damn you rep cap"
20:28
why does everyone like capping so much, it's not like you're going to get Legendary or anything
but still
it means I got 200 rep
@totallyhuman rep cap means I didn't get ~500 rep :P
the amount of off-topic questions today...
@StepHen Dennis and Martin Ender got it so it's possible if you're not a mere mortal. lol
@totallyhuman ikr
@HyperNeutrino They have also spent the last couple years here :P
20:30
lol that too
but my rep is even further from a nice round number ;-;
Is there an off-topic gallery?
@BlackCap Not really, they all get deleted
why would there be
@HyperNeutrino to show what not to do?
20:31
hm good point
Yeah, or for future challenges
@BlackCap most off-topic questions are SO questions that got on the wrong SE
Speaking of which, how does that actually happen? The url and title both have "code golf" in the name...
people /shrug
@SocraticPhoenix some people don't read their screens...
20:33
most of em are dumb
@SocraticPhoenix But it clearly says "Programming Puzzles", isn't that obvious?
So do people not know what a puzzle is?
Programming Problems would be worse
@SocraticPhoenix My stuff's not working, that's a puzzle, right?

Q: Facebook Embedded Posts , page width 100%

Lanka SenanayakaAny one knows how to set facebook page plugin width to full page size, or any other way to show page posts in full width (specially on mobile devices). Thanks

I suppose...
@cairdcoinheringaahing That's 2K+
@cairdcoinheringaahing I need another 60+ to view that page :/
20:35
@StepHen I think describing them as SO questions is generous
Oh yeah. @BlackCap just ignore that
@PeterTaylor *bad SO questions
> Close percentage: 42.86 %
That's fairer. If we had a migration route to SO and migrated them, the migration route would be shut down from the SO end for migrating crap.
20:35
pushing them to SO would be mean
speaking of which, are PPCG questions ever migrated to SO?
I've never seen one...
@PeterTaylor what you're saying is, people who actually can post decent questions, won't post them in the wrong SE :P
And people who can't don't seem to care
ok thanks
hey what's A000404
oh lame
20:37
lol they should've made it 404
mortarboard
42 is pretty lame too
Better than the last sequence
shudder we've had a question here that belongs on CODE REVIEW?
20:38
socratic_phoenix cannot view that page, wait really?!
2k+ maybe
what's the procedure for migrations
@HyperNeutrino mod-initiated, unless there's a predefined path
I thought it was like 20K+
Where a migration route is set up, it's in the close reasons. Otherwise it's custom flag.
20:38
@HyperNeutrino Asking a mod to do it.
I hope this didn't die
aaand I just made broken grammar, I meant I cannot view that page and thus am surprised because I could not see it...
@DJMcMayhem there are no privileges beyond 5k
@DJMcMayhem it's in mod tools so it's 2K+ I think
@totallyhuman * on beta-rep-level sites
Ah. It's 5K on beta (or awkward half graduated like PPCG) and 20K on graduated
20:39
@totallyhuman view chat flags is 10k network
@HyperNeutrino it died thanks to the Add++
@StepHen Oh, I thought it was site analytics
the next one's weird
I think we might need to copy the mathematica code into another version of mathematica to revive it, idk
I hope not
20:40
@cairdcoinheringaahing I'd totally do the next one if I had any grasp of chemistry or math....
Keywords: Easy,Nice
@SocraticPhoenix Yeah, I'm lost on the "centered hydrocarbon" bit
Now, really, who will solve a chemistry sequence?
I hope I don't need to do another 10 hour chemistry problem
hmm
did we do maple yet?
20:41
no
so in theory you could steal that if you want to keep the sequence going
maybe I can golf it
golf it down to 108
but i'm not going to
that's just lame
if I do I'd CW it
20:42
hrmmm
that way you don't lose rep from the downvotes :P
now what tf is a centered hydrocarbon
let's see...
@HyperNeutrino it's better than a hyper neutrino I can promise you that
kek
is it even a real term
20:43
@HyperNeutrino it's a carbon with some hydrogen that's in the middle of something...
also apparently this is one of Sloane's most favourite sequences
it gives nothing useful on Google
what the heck sloane
of all the sequences you could've picked
well if you could use the internet you could go up to n = 60...
20:45
lolno
@cairdcoinheringaahing you imploded your own challenge, nice going xD
that would get so many DV's and DelV's
hrmmmm
google is useless
> In Googlis non est, ergo non est.

New meta posts is taking too long.
20:48
don't you dare
what @programmer5000 what did u do?
wait
wut
you still get +1 rep after cap?
@totallyhuman you got dv'd
did you downvote someone
nerp
I got an upvote
and I got +1
the heck
20:50
Either you downvoted someone or someone downvoted you, or you lost 1 rep somehow
the answer has 5 upvotes, 0 downvotes
Is anyone registered on OEIS?
it is my latest rep change
no, anywhere
@StepHen I've been working on it for a while, and I'm bothered that the only good solution uses Series and polynomial manipulation in mathematica
20:51
@StepHen no but it's my latest rep change
@WheatWizard El'endia is I think
I am trying to register, but they want "precise information", and I'm not sure what that means
@totallyhuman no, before that
@ConorO'Brien Rip not pingable
I think if you put where you go to school, you should be fine
20:52
@BlackCap can you undelete your answer please? I want to keep the challenge going, you've got fib and I'm fine bending the rules slightly. I'll delete mine.
I hope so
@WheatWizard you could always find him in primes and squares
ok I dunno
and at this point I don't care
@cairdcoinheringaahing alright
@cairdcoinheringaahing someone's working on it though
20:52
I wanted to put my employer but my employer hasn't updated the members section of their website in libe 5 years so it would look like I was lying
@ConorO'Brien I was just heading over there :)
;-; it's fine I'll just throw away my code
@StepHen its a low number, it'll come back to it
alright so here's my solution so far, it's really intense on maths:
let max, G000598, i, t;

max = 61;

G000598 = 0;

i = 0;

while(i < max + 1){
    G000598 = //idk
}
@ConorO'Brien keep the code, I'm sure 22 will happen again

Q: Plz send teh iconz: can I get a big ppcg icon?

programmer5000I'm looking for a big PPCG icon. Where could I get one? The favicon / HNQ icon is too small. Is there something bigger?

New Meta Posts is slow.
20:54
but why?
@StepHen 10 bytes has gone, add some no-ops
@cairdcoinheringaahing did
wait should I add noops to 22
@DJMcMayhem why the icon? In case you need a ppcg icon. It happened to me once.
cc @ConorO'Brien
@StepHen YES! NO!
20:55
@StepHen no please
@WheatWizard I have more than one sequence on there
Can I get feedback on this:

@PeterTaylor May I ask about the registration process?
I don't know if I can provide enough information
wtf does "smallest prime power" mean
power of a prime?
prime power of an integer?
@cairdcoinheringaahing Aaargh. Stop it! The whole point of is to chain answers, and when people keep changing history it wastes other people's time.
20:57
prime power of a prime? (<-- not this one)
@WheatWizard ??

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

programmer5000rosetta-stone A Thousand Errors Your challenge is to make a program that errors fatally in as many languages as possible. Your program must be less than or equal to 50 bytes. The submission that errors fatally in the most languages wins.

That took too long.
I don't really have any of the things they list as precise information.
@programmer5000 that's NSP not NMP
20:58
Which is?
@PeterTaylor sorry. It's just that I didn't want the chain to die.
It won't happen again (I'll try)
46 minutes isn't the end of the world.
2
> After an answer has been posted and no new answers have been posted for more than a week, the answer before the last posted (the one who didn't break the chain) will win.

It takes a week to kill the chain, not an hour.
@HyperNeutrino Its over, its done. If I revert that decision it'll invalidate an answer, its just better as it is now
21:00
What you have succeeded in killing is my interest in the question
I'll come back to it when it's been stable for a day or two
Moving on, @StepHen I have to +1 the cQuents answer for "interpreter bugs"
o0 can we all just tone down all the salt
Hey fun fact, the shortest C segfault I can think of is main(){puts();}
@cairdcoinheringaahing We're not telling you to revert your decision; the damage is done already. We're just telling you why you shouldn't be changing answers like that.
@MDXF ooo cool.
@MDXF main=0;
21:02
@Doorknob main;

Q: Collapse Adjacent Duplicates

musicman523Challenge Given a list of integers, return the list of these integers after repeatedly removing all pairs of adjacent equal items. Note that if you have an odd-length run of equal numbers, one of them will remain, not being part of a pair. Example: [0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 4, 4, 2, 1, 1, 0] First, y...

@Doorknob Doesn't segfault on my system, tried it
llama@llama:~$ cat > a.c
main=0;
llama@llama:~$ gcc a.c
a.c:1:1: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
 main=0;
 ^~~~
a.c:1:1: warning: type defaults to ‘int’ in declaration of ‘main’ [-Wimplicit-int]
llama@llama:~$ ./a.out
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  ./a.out
Huh what architecture
It segfaults on TIO as well
21:03
Huh main; segfaults but main=0; doesn't... I think my stack needs help
I bet @SIGSEGV could do it in one less byte
@MDXF segfaults here too (amd64 linux)
@Doorknob not gonna ask, not gonna ask, not gonna why are you called "llama" on your machine?
3
Yeah amd64 linux too for me. I was screwing with the stack earlier, that's probably it
@cairdcoinheringaahing it's true, any token that can't be used in math but is valid can be added to the end any otherwise valid cQuents program, usually
21:05
@cairdcoinheringaahing It's an optimization of course
@ConorO'Brien the puns are strong with this one
@cairdcoinheringaahing It's 1 byte shorter than goattt
What did I start?
nothing?
@ConorO'Brien Context for the uninformed: codegolf.stackexchange.com/users/31414/optimizer
Repcapped on my second day back.... lol
@MDXF How do you have 201 rep for today 0.o
Ok thanks. Thats about what my bio looks like.
21:09
@StepHen I have 201 too lol
@MDXF I think I repcapped on my first day back lol
@HyperNeutrino yeah but that was everyone feeling sorry for you
fair enough :P
@MDXF your rep graph looks like a skyline of a city (like New York)
Holy crap JavaScript is stupid sometimes
I was having a myriad of problems with something
21:12
@StepHen under statement of the century
All because I had two places that added to an array, one of them added "5" and one added 5 and it was screwing up indexOf
-.-
btw if @ETHProductions answers the OEIS challenge upvote him a lot because of the snippet he made
instead upvote his answer, I'm blind
21:26
haha finally didn't get ninja'd this time
oh shit this sequence is almost identical to another one that was used already but not the same. not gonna change it tho lol

PyRulezSolve the Trolley Problem code-golf machine-ethics Philosophers have long pondered the Trolley problem. Unfortunately, this no human has solved this problem yet. Luckily, as programmers we can use computers to solve the problem for us! Your program will take as input a (finite) directed graph...

@HyperNeutrino yeah but its one indexed
whoops
this will change the next sequence ;_;
Is it meant to be a polyglot with Jelly? tio.run/##ATEAzv9qZWxsef//…
M == Jelly but with better math and fewer builtins because it's old
Fixed!
21:30
Comment removed
The sequence really didn't change that much ;_;
@cairdcoinheringaahing nope
lol it went from 12 to 10
you could still duplicate Kritixi's APL answer by changing the 16 to 10 lol
*Cowsquack
@HyperNeutrino his profile picture says Kritixi, he will always be Kritixi
at least until he changes his profile picture to a half-duck, half-cow hybrid
21:33
oplsno that is horrifying though
cow squack sounds like it means cow poop
also i am still mad that xkcd had no april fools comic ಠ_ಠ
@HyperNeutrino you mean like this
@cairdcoinheringaahing +1 for freehand red circles
@StepHen +1 for freehand.
21:38
ok so I need help on how to implement stuff like prime factors and divisors in cQuents
since each item is supposed to be one item in the sequence
Would it be cheating if I found a different version of APL, and changed Cows Quack's code to work?
You'd have to credit them for sure but it depends on your rules lol
@HyperNeutrino would the community view it as a cheat? and I think I should hold myself at a higher standard if I participate, as this is my question and I have to be a role model or whatever :D
anyway gtg! Bye!
The scoreboard only goes to 20
how do I have +201
21:53
o0 it seems like everybody has +201
I don't have +201
I have an annoying repcap tho
capping this morning hasn't stopped me from answering lol
it shouldn't
unless you're just doing it for the fake internet points :P
A lot of things shouldn't do a lot of other things on StackExchange, but they do
Who isn't doing it for the fake internet points?
21:57
o/
That's not the only reason I'm here :P
i do it cause i like code golf
it was a joke ಠ_ಠ
ಠ_ಠ
Your sense of humor is underappreciated apparently :P
so... is anyone going to continue the OEIS chain challenge?
idk how to
21:59
StackExchange has an odd sense of humor. I should get 1400 rep for a segfault but only 80 for the record C quine
