The Nineteenth Byte

I swear if this Neil person forces us into a full election cycle and we have to wait an extra week

> This is a serious nomination despite it's language. Can't push the envelope by being like everyone else

@quartata I thought primary + election is always 8 days

If there's a primary, the rest gets shorter

Unless we only get 2 nominations....

not sure what to say

@quartata That's impossible

There's no way that could happen

but what if it did

ok this has to be a joke right:

10:05 PM

@quartata Then I would be severely disappointed in mego

just checking

Poke

@quartata i am in favor of this happening

@DJMcMayhem ?? You + Mego = 2

@DJMcMayhem So if you are elected do you promise not to change your name, at least while being a mod? :-P

If it went over 2

10:06 PM

@quartata + Neil

Wait, now I'm even more confused

@DJMcMayhem right. Neil would force an election

even though he's trolling

Poke

@Riker ahah

@Poke 2nd offense lawsuit is just a huge waste of money

in 2018 Programming Puzzles & Code Golf Moderator Election Chat, 1 hour ago, by Grace Note

The minimum required number of nominees is 1 higher than the number of seats to be filled (so in this case, 3)

@quartata ^

If that was the case I would have sued Mendeleev already

10:08 PM

@quartata he says not

but it's def a troll

@quartata ouch

@DJMcMayhem oh I forgot it would get canceled

^^^

in that case I'll nominate the Laff-O-Tron

@quartata I love how you're more willing to nominate your chatbot then yourself

have you seen commodoreHustle? It'd probably win

10:11 PM

sorry to interrupt, but can anyone point me to how image-based programming language entries are scored? Like Piet and Mycelium

@Unihedron bytecount of img file

Piet is scored in codels

oh, nvm

@Poke don't engage

I assume it's a swedish fish though

swedish fish are red tho

red with the blood of their enemies and karl marx's kool-aid

10:16 PM

@GraceNote Is it possible to delete a troll nomination?

gotta love google: "heyyyya" shows me the appropriate result

flawr

@DJMcMayhem I guess it is time to revive the -15 meme.

CMC: given a list of strings, yield a list of strings such that each string in that list is the first character is the first character of string A and the second character is the last character of string B, for overlapping pairs of strings (A, B) in the input. Example IO: ["hello", "world", "anew"] => ["hw", "wa"]

flawr

@BetaDecay Haven't seen you in a while, where are you hiding?

ey we have 2018 ads

10:22 PM

oh yay

i see mine now

@ConorO'Brien I don't get it.

i was worried about text size but it looks fine yay

@ConorO'Brien shouldn't the output be either "ho", "wd", "aw" or "hd", "ww"?

oh boy I made a mistake hold on

["ow", "da"], sorry

10:25 PM

^

I am even more confused now :D

tl;dr for each pair of strings in a list of strings return the pair (A[-1], B[0])

ruby, 40 ->x{x.each_cons(2).map{|x,y|x[-1]+y[0]}} tio.run/…

@ConorO'Brien OK, that is better.

10:27 PM

haskell, 37 bytes: zipWith(\a b->[last b,head a])=<<tail

@ConorO'Brien APL (Dyalog Unicode), 13 bytes 2{(⊃⌽⍺),⊃⍵}/⊢

haskell, 36 bytes: zipWith(\a b->[last b,a!!0])=<<tail

or zipWith(\a b->[last a,b!!0])<*>tail

@ConorO'Brien V, 10 bytes, feels too long: òedblxá òD

> @NoOneIsHere The fake New York Times would lead you to believe that I am not an adequate candidate, but remember crooked DJMcMayhem is going to steal from the people of codegolf. I demand the release of the emails. – Neil 51 secs ago

......

does this guy think he's funny? I hope not :/

f=lambda a,*b:[a[-1]+b[0][0],*f(*b)]if b else[]

10:38 PM

@ConorO'Brien i won't lie, it did give me a chuckle but it's not the right place

I think this mod candidate post should be deleted as spam.

yes.

The comments only confirm it.

Only a CM can

@GraceNote How do we flag/downvote/vote-to-delete nominations?

10:40 PM

Not spam but R/A mind you

:| why can't you link to a comment on a nomination

Yeah, I realized that too

idc how its deleted, just get this childish semblance of a joke off this site :|

@mbomb007 I didn't see the comment got edited. Apparently #DJForPrison lol

It's all the Mayhem you're causing lol

10:42 PM

Haha

@LuisMendo I just remembered that I forgot to respond to this. Yes haha

Good! :-D

Probably should've posted in the other chatroom

No guarantees on the avatar though

@DJMcMayhem I think you should promise that too. I think it is important to be able to tell right away which mods are available in a chatroom.

@mbomb007 definitely don't get into the politics, that'll feed the troll

we're giving it more attention than it deserves, really

10:46 PM

^

It has been deleted

@Adám That's a fair point. I don't want to promise that I will never change either ever again, because I might want to legitimately change it some day. But I will promise that if I ever change either one, it would be a rare and permanent change, rather than willy-nilly as a joke

we don't need a whole conversation starred lol

@Adám Or maybe which are online at any given time

I'm waiting for @Mego's nomination.

Turns out writing a serious nomination post takes time :P I should've started on this sooner

10:51 PM

@Mego Yeah, I wrote it in vim, (shocker, I know) so I didn't realize there was a character limit, and ended up going like 600 characters over.

Took about an hour to write all in all

You golfed it in vim??

Not V??

V isn't exactly... Interactive

-1 didn't use ed

-1 didn't use nano

10:53 PM

I was more shocked at it being approached in the same manner as a challenge...

@totallyhuman Who even uses nano? The only reason for nano is if you're ssh'd into somewhere and don't know vim.

@trichoplax just what you want in a ppcg mod though right? :P

:)

TIL I need to learn vim for a future hypothetical ssh

There, posted my nomination

Use the Sandbox for that

@trichoplax Haha :P but yeah I should probably look at the Sandbox

11:00 PM

It was purely for the bad joke - I'm not sure the sandbox is relevant to the election... (although always happy that people put time into it)

#ThereAreTwoDifferentSandboxes

@DJMcMayhem Don't worry, we're electing two mods this time, we can elect both of you.

Which is a huge relief. I would hate to run against Mego

Anonymous

@DJMcMayhem Haha, and I'd hate to run against you

It would be a very close race, I'd think :P
