Has there been I challenge as such:

a
 bc
   def
      ghij
          klmno
               pqrstu

For an input abcdefghijklmnopqrstu ^?

HyperNeutrino

@Cowsquack looks interesting

I don't remember seeing such a challenge.

Mr. Xcoder

@HyperNeutrino Thanks

HyperNeutrino

np, though I don't know for sure

All of the Pythons are gone

Java is down to 8/9 uses

Jelly and its less functional variant M are gone

Mr. Xcoder

@HyperNeutrino Pypys are still there

HyperNeutrino

Anyfix is too dysfunctional for use anywhere

@Mr.Xcoder that counts?

Mr. Xcoder

18:02

@HyperNeutrino Yeah, think so

HyperNeutrino

ok

Cows quack

@HyperNeutrino Processing is heavily based of Java

HyperNeutrino

I don't want to use the last Python too early though lol

@Cowsquack ok

Mr. Xcoder

> too early

BlackCap

Pyke is still there

Mr. Xcoder

18:03

@BlackCap Yeah, but... meh

HyperNeutrino

@Mr.Xcoder lol

HyperNeutrino

oh 2sable still exists

Mr. Xcoder

Can I have some feebdack, Pleaseeeeee?

Build me a complex Stairway! You will be given a String consisting of printable ASCII. Your task is to build a nice Stairway for my Castle. How to build a nice Stairway? First off, you should get all the rotations of the String. For example, the String abcd has the following rotations: abcd, ...

I'd like to post it today

HyperNeutrino

looks good to me

Mr. Xcoder

18:05

@HyperNeutrino Ok, I think I'll post it after I have a couple of test cases.

@HyperNeutrino Should I tag it ascii-art? Or just string?

HyperNeutrino

ascii-art only IMO

dafuq

a list has 3 instances of 8

but count(8) gives 4

what the heck 2sable

wait a sec

oh the empty program in 2sable does something lol

MD XF

Hey I need some ppl to test something on their system

caird coinheringaahing

What do people think of this for the OEIS challenge?

1 hour ago, by caird coinheringaahing

Actually what do people think of this: Someone (not me) posts a CW answer with a list of languages that people want used. It can't be larger than, say, 10 languages, so one of them has to be used before new ones can be added. I accept that (pin it to the top) and people can pick from that.

Mr. Xcoder

@HyperNeutrino Look at the last test cases (took me 10 mins to write);

@cairdcoinheringaahing I really don't think it's a good idea

MD XF

@cairdcoinheringaahing I like it but I doubt mods would

HyperNeutrino

18:18

@cairdcoinheringaahing I really dislike the idea (I won't repeat myself as to why) and I think mods wouldn't either.

@Mr.Xcoder did you seriously write the test case by hand ;_;

but nice, I think it's good for posting personally :)

Mr. Xcoder

@HyperNeutrino Yes, I did

HyperNeutrino

lol

Mr. Xcoder

@HyperNeutrino I'll post it in ~10'

MD XF

Guys

6 votes away from silver code-golf

Cows quack

@Mr.Xcoder why do you have a leading space in the code-golf example?

Mr. Xcoder

18:21

@Cowsquack Thanks for spotting that

@Cowsquack Fixed

HyperNeutrino

@MDXF nice

guys

548 votes away from gold code-golf ;_;

MD XF

@HyperNeutrino remember a while ago when we flagged that post 'cause Gryphon and Foxy looked like the same user?

Cows quack

@MDXF ಠ_ಠ "Sharing posts that you want feedback on is perfectly fine, but sharing things just in the hope of getting more upvotes is not" just saying

HyperNeutrino

@MDXF lol yeah

^^

MD XF

@Cowsquack I'm not looking for upvotes, I capped anyway :P

Cows quack

18:22

oh lol

HyperNeutrino

is it just me or is everyone capping

Cows quack

was it from that segfault answer?

MD XF

I'm just sayin', cause two days ago I predicted that I'd get silver code-golf this week

@Cowsquack yes actually

which further encourages me to change my name to segfaults

Cows quack

@HyperNeutrino I capped yesterday and the day before, but apparently not today

HyperNeutrino

BTW there's an easy way to get a solution for A000011; it's called copy my answer for A000046 and remove the primitive function

and replace it with True

@Cowsquack lol I see

MD XF

18:23

@HyperNeutrino Is A000011 the most recent?

HyperNeutrino

yes

MD XF

Oh

HyperNeutrino

I answered in 2sable

MD XF

well guess what I'm doing

HyperNeutrino

lol I've gotten +201, +201, +215, and +200 in the past 4 days. :P

@MDXF answering it? :P

MD XF

18:24

Pfft of course not

What Python versions have not been used?

HyperNeutrino

none

MD XF

Crap

HyperNeutrino

well, 2(PyPy)

MD XF

Even 0.9.7?

HyperNeutrino

what

Python 0 exists

No, Python 0 has not been used :P

MD XF

18:26

I've got the Python 0.9.7 interpreter

HyperNeutrino

nice, then you can just steal my A46 answer if you want to be lazy and boring :P

MD XF

lazy and boring no two words have ever better described programmers

5

HyperNeutrino

hey some answers here are quite impressive and took a lot of work :P

MD XF

Yeah but not ones that actually got votes :P

HyperNeutrino

cough segfaults ಠ_ಠ

MD XF

18:27

Exactly what I'm referring to

Also, will someone please test this with gcc/tcc/clang: main(){free(main);}

Cows quack

a.out(2413,0x7fff78cf6000) malloc: *** error for object 0x10dc5ef70: pointer being freed was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

on clang

Mr. Xcoder

@HyperNeutrino Posted

Erik the Outgolfer

and leaky already ninja'd

Mr. Xcoder

@EriktheOutgolfer FGITW'd it badly

Erik the Outgolfer

well I had ran the testcases while still in sandbox...I just didn't tell anything about it before posting since that's kinda the point of sandboxing :p

Mr. Xcoder

18:33

17 feels really long for Jelly though

@HyperNeutrino Your week rep is 999 lol

Erik the Outgolfer

@Mr.Xcoder yeah it does...although haven't found anything shorter yet

also jelly usually sucks at strings

Mr. Xcoder

That's also true

Pyth might beat Jelly

@EriktheOutgolfer Code golf fkig edoC?

Erik the Outgolfer

yeah one of your testcases is like that you should fix it

Mr. Xcoder

Thanks

Fixed

Erik the Outgolfer

s/ki/lo

@Mr.Xcoder flig?

now time to fix the other letter too ;)

MD XF

18:35

@Cowsquack Darn

Mr. Xcoder

@EriktheOutgolfer Fixed

MD XF

I know I've seen a system where it just prints Aborted

@Cowsquack What does main(){raise(3);} do?

Cows quack

Quit: 3

MD XF

Huh. What OS, arch, libc version?

Cows quack

macOS

I don't know what arch or libc is

MD XF

18:39

Processor architecture

and the C standard library

Cows quack

@MDXF intel core i5

MD XF

x86_64 or x86

Cows quack

@MDXF I don't know how to check that ;_;

BlackCap

lscpu

Mr. Xcoder

@EriktheOutgolfer @HyperNeutrino @Adnan Nice solutions

@Mr.Xcoder thanks :)

@MDXF oh, I don't know that ;_;

MD XF

@Cowsquack lscpu

Cows quack

that is not recognised as a command in bash ;_;

Mr. Xcoder

Oh, Pyth is quite short with this one: m.<QdU produces all the rotations

MD XF

18:42

@Cowsquack (ノ°Д°）ノ︵ ┻━┻ nvm then

BlackCap

@Cowsquack uname -a?

Cows quack

it ends in RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

MD XF

All right so 64-bit

See if /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu exists

Cows quack

then what's the x86?

MD XF

x86 is 32-bit

Step Hen

18:44

don't you know what 32-bit and 64-bit are? 0.o

Cows quack

@MDXF /lib doesn't exist

MD XF

@Cowsquack ಠ_ಠ I dislike OSX very much

Cows quack

I am looking forward to ditching macOS

Mr. Xcoder

> ditching?

Step Hen

@MDXF And its hardware costs more anyway

MD XF

18:45

@StepHen And its <insert literally any Apple product here> costs more anyway

Mr. Xcoder

@Cowsquack Why would you want to leave macOS?

Cows quack

@StepHen ;_; all I know is that it affects the size of certain types of variables

Step Hen

@MDXF Well, when you can have macOS on a non-Apple product, tell me when hardware was not the correct word :P

Cows quack

@Mr.Xcoder because it's bad

MD XF

@StepHen ok

Mr. Xcoder

18:46

@Cowsquack It ain't compared to Windows and Linux

MD XF

@Mr.Xcoder Mind if I block you?

Mr. Xcoder

@MDXF Yes

Step Hen

@Cowsquack Most computers these days are either 32bit or 64bit, you (usually) have to install different executables when installing native apps depending on what your computer is

@Cowsquack it's how much RAM the computer can access in one cycle (I believe, I'm not the best with hardware)

MD XF

:P

Mr. Xcoder

@MDXF Really?

MD XF

18:48

@Mr.Xcoder No lol

I've threatened to do that to Hyper probably three times

Step Hen

@Cowsquack anyway for some reason x86 means 32 bit, but x64 means 64 bit - that's why windows has Program Files and Program Files (x86)

HyperNeutrino

@MDXF that's an understatement lol

Cows quack

@StepHen that's weird

so is there a x64_32?

MD XF

@HyperNeutrino It was probably for disagreements about Apple products, too :P

HyperNeutrino

@Mr.Xcoder only? darn!

Mr. Xcoder

18:49

@HyperNeutrino :D

Step Hen

@Cowsquack Uh idk what that part of it means

MD XF

@Cowsquack No

HyperNeutrino

@MDXF nah it was cuz i did a good and then i realize and i was like "nvm ignore me" and you were like k i will

Step Hen

I may be misleading you, x86_32 is probably 32 bit

HyperNeutrino

@Mr.Xcoder what place am i lol for week rep

Step Hen

18:50

since x86_64 is 64 bit according to @MDXF

I mostly know Windows not mac

Mr. Xcoder

@HyperNeutrino 6

I am on 13

MD XF

@StepHen No

HyperNeutrino

._.

MD XF

x86_64 is 64-bit. x86 is 32 bit. End of story

HyperNeutrino

Lemme guess, Dennis is 1?

Mr. Xcoder

18:51

@HyperNeutrino No

MD XF

x64_32, x86_32, x32_64, none of these exist

Mr. Xcoder

By far, no

Cows quack

@MDXF and what about the x64s?

Step Hen

@MDXF oh, I always heard that x64 was 64 bit 0.o

Cows quack

ah

HyperNeutrino

18:51

:o then who

Step Hen

guess I heard wrong

Mr. Xcoder

@HyperNeutrino WheatWizard

HyperNeutrino

oh nice

MD XF

@StepHen Well that's true, some people just shorthand it to x64

Mr. Xcoder

@HyperNeutrino Quarter rep: I am on 8, you're on 20 :D

Step Hen

18:52

@MDXF oooohhhh thanks that makes sense

HyperNeutrino

how much week rep

Cows quack

oh, so x86_64 is sometimes shortened to x64

MD XF

x86 originated from the old 8086 processors, I forget why the hell it's associated with 32-bit

HyperNeutrino

@Mr.Xcoder lol rip me.

Mr. Xcoder

@HyperNeutrino Martin only has ~350 week rep, so be happy

HyperNeutrino

18:52

ooo

MD XF

Oh yeah that's why

HyperNeutrino

how much week rep does ww have

Mr. Xcoder

@HyperNeutrino ~1300

Step Hen

@HyperNeutrino stop being lazy lol codegolf.stackexchange.com/users

Cows quack

@HyperNeutrino codegolf.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&filter=week

HyperNeutrino

18:53

hey I'm on mobile k

MD XF

Intel created and sold the 8086, 8088, etc, saw the need to create 32-bit processors, made one, and called it the 80386

Step Hen

@HyperNeutrino kek

HyperNeutrino

thanks. so i probably won't pass him this week lol

MD XF

And made it capable of running 16-bit software

Mr. Xcoder

@HyperNeutrino Can you remove your comment on my challenge?

It's fixed

@EriktheOutgolfer You too ^

HyperNeutrino

18:54

how to cap: wait until the oeis challenge gets stuck on a weird sequence, then find a language with that built-in and get upvotes of gratitude :D

MD XF

So people started referring to these chips that were compatible with lots of things as the 80x86, like the 80286, 80386, etc

Step Hen

@HyperNeutrino he's repcapped every day this week (-2 from a downvote) plus 50 from a bounty :P

MD XF

Intel made new chips, dropped the 80, so it was 486, 586, etc

So people started calling them x86

totallyhuman

o0

Step Hen

@MDXF This is starting to actually make sense :P

Erik the Outgolfer

18:55

@Mr.Xcoder done

Mr. Xcoder

Thx

HyperNeutrino

@StepHen owtf nice

@Mr.Xcoder done

Mr. Xcoder

Thx

MD XF

So, summary: 8086 processor gave lead to 80186, 80286, which were 16-bit. Then came the 80386 which was 32-bit and which was compatible with all predecessors, so people called everything that had 80<digit>86 the 80x86 family. Then came more chips, which had three digits ending in 86, so people called them x86

7

HyperNeutrino

no problemz

MD XF

18:57

Oh and then Intel made 64-bit stuff and made it compatible with the 32-bit stuff (that people were calling x86), then AMD marketed 64-bit machines and called them x86_64 as a marketing appeal

HyperNeutrino

@MDXF that just explained all of life thank you very much :D

MD XF

@HyperNeutrino np lol

This is also why 32-bit processors are referred to as i386 (Intel-386, from that processor I mentioned earlier)

Cows quack

this is more interesting than history I learn at school :P

MD XF

And 64-bit processors are referred to as amd64, because AMD marketed the first 64-bit processors
