yeah
i get tired adding golf messages, imagine how much they have to spend formatting it all :o
 
@EriktheOutgolfer @LeakyNun Figured out Erik's version but it's actually running LCMorial[n+1] for some reason
Gist coming soon
 
I'm probably going to leave it at that and head to bed though
Tomorrow, though, I'm thinking of implementing Cantor's unspeakable numbers in Parenthetic. Have a good night
 
7:15 PM
I got 0 questions
Maybe that's why I don't get rep o_o

Q: Case Matching Find Replace

Andrew PiliserCase Matching Find Replace Take three inputs, a string of text, T; a string of characters to replace, F; and a string of characters to replace them with, R. For each substring of T with the same (case insensitive) characters as F, replace them with the characters in R. However, keep the same cas...

 
@NewMainPosts This is surprisingly a lot more difficult than it appears at first glance.
 
@Stephen indeed — Rod 8 mins ago
Hehe I used a comment to reply to a message
That'd be a fun challenge
 
I don't think it's quite a duplicate, hence why I just commented rather than hammered, but pretty much the same compression techniques from the Pokemon challenge can be used on the Android version challenge.
 
inb4 somebody else dupe votes

Q: Wallis sieve (variation on Sierpinski carpet in Maple code)

David RheaultGood day, I am trying to code in maple 2015 the wallis sieve which is a fractal but instead of taking away always the 1/3 of each remaining cell or sub-cell, the progression goes in 3,5,7,9,11 etc for each sub-level. So for n=2, the remaining area is 8/9*24/25* 4 units (starting with a square o...

 
@NewMainPosts man we are super fast at closing stuff :o
 
A high ratio of active users to new questions.
 
7:49 PM
@AdmBorkBork plus that fact that we get very few questions compared to most SEs, plus the fact that we haven't gotten graduation-level rep brackets yet
 
anyone here familiar with machine learning and neural networks?
 
I did my thesis on it back about a dozen years ago
Haven't touched it since, lol
 
8:17 PM
@totallyhuman They changed their answer.
 
Anyone able to run some C code for me? Idk why but my compiler is borked preventing me from cashing 1k in rep.
 
@Zacharý the builtins part is still unclear though
@2EZ4RTZ run it on TIO
 
Can't. Several files.
@Stephen
 
Still possible. Just a bit cumbersome.
 
I can if needed. You could try repl.it though.
@Dennis How?
 
9:13 PM
Dennis. If you would show me the way I would give a virtual high five
 
@Dennis You mean writing to a file?
 
I have about five files and three headers. I need to run the main file (need a way to get my score for free cell solver)
 
Just try repl.it, see if it works there.
 
Cool. Imma try dat soon
 
Blamedowngoat.
 
9:19 PM
@2EZ4RTZ tio.run/… Not exactly pretty, but it works.
 
Wow ty

Wolfram alpha is pretty drunk today:

M1K3YYou are given a directed graph with n nodes and m edges. The nodes are numbered from 1 to n, and node i is assigned a cost ci. The cost of a walk on the graph is defined as the greatest common divisor of the costs of the vertices used in the walk. Formally, the cost of a walk v1, v2, ⋯ , vk i...

 
@NewMainPosts i smell homework

Sounds like there's something messed up with your installation

You should definitely go to Ask Ubuntu
 
Would sudo pkill * do horrible things to a Linux? (No way am I trying it)
 
Anonymous
10:05 PM
@Zacharý I don't think pkill accepts wildcards
 
lets see

But if it does, it wouldn't harm much, since you're not root.

the answer to a question like "Would <thingy> do horrible things to Linux?" is most always "yes"

And the answer to "would sudo <something> do horrible things to Linux?" is usually "yes"

It's not easy to break a Linux install without sudo. It's not easy to not break a Linux install with gratuitous sudo.
 
what's the gold "<adjective> question" badge?
 
sudo kill -TERM 0 or sudo kill -TERM 1?
 
@totallyhuman badge list
Stellar, Great, or Famous, depending on what it achieved a gold badge for
 
yeah i know lol it's about one of the biggest buttons on the site
@trichoplax oh thanks
 
(stars, votes or views)
 
10:12 PM
hrmm i hit 5k views on a question recently so i was wondering what the gold badge for that is... 10k views :o
 
Half way there...
I'm half way there in votes for one, but nowhere near half in stars or views
 
How long does it take for rooms to freeze?
 
@totallyhuman that is how it is

why is ubuntu so hard
 
10:24 PM
@2EZ4RTZ what do you mean by that?
i was asking how come you wrote it as a command line tool
that's definitely a first i've seen on ppcg lol

Q: Intelligent Hat..!

WarlockRohan was asked to solve the following problem: For any given permutation in range(1,2,3...n), Rohan calculates two values S1 and S2. where, S1 = number of pairs(i , j) in that permutation such that i < j and perm[i] > perm[j] and S2 = Sum(max(0 , i - perm[i])) where perm[i] is the value present...

 
My question got downvoted, so I appended the solution devised by me to it
 
Thats ... going to get more downvotes I think.
I'm not sure at all.
 
10:45 PM
@Zacharý yes
The other week I posted something about Upgoat/Downgoat challenge and even that got trashed
 
can someone help me again :C
 
So far, no moar gaotposts have been trashed. And I feel as if I'll be kicked for gaotspek.
 
@Zacharý ok 'gaotspek' is a little annoying at this point to be fair
@HusnainRaza with?
 
:p
 
so i guess i need a python module named utils for this wiktionary parser that im trying to install
idk how to do it, pip fails when trying to install it
this is hard :C

If a person is suspended, do they lose rep?
 
no
er, there rep shows as "1" during the suspension, but after it's over, the rep is the same as if the event had never happened
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing is who I was looking at.
 
11:54 PM
hey I made another "modern art" style sromg thingy
 
@totallyhuman What about it
@totallyhuman You know they don't just give you infinite computing power right?
 
I would show you this one because I won't actually be submitting it because it isn't particularly notable
 
@ASCII-only ye but it tells you that
 
Do I need to ask permission to show images like this?
 
Wolfram alpha is ... odd at times
 
11:56 PM
@Zacharý technically correct: The best kind of correct
 
Yeah, in other news: $1=0$ for $x\in\Bbb Z\textrm{and} x\notin \Bbb Z$ (Does that look right?)
 
@Zacharý \and is broken, do you mean \textrm{and}
 
Not what I meant, but it works. I meant
Now does it work right?
