The Nineteenth Byte

I think I have the final say on this given my pfp

If I ask an open-ended-function challenge, it's fine to require answers to prove that they meet the spec right?

It seemed fine last time you required proof for an open-ended-function challenge, so I'd say yes.

@lyxal Is there a way to add joining by spaces to this? It's a quine so ASCII-only.

Demonstrate some abstract algebra Consider a binary operator \$*\$ that operates on a set \$S\$. For simplicity's sake, we'll assume that \$*\$ is closed, meaning that its inputs and outputs are always members of \$S\$. Let's define some basic terms describing the properties of \$*\$. We can say ...

@SandboxPosts Typed up on my phone, I'd appreciate any spell checking/typo fixing :)

Full stops.

Aside from that, nice challenge!

@Ausername Thanks! TBH, I generally don't use full stops at the ends of text/list items when typing

I do use commas tho, so I'll add those when I can get to a device that makes minor edits actually doable

Kk

@Ausername \ j?

Use the D flag and you get unicode in strings

@lyxal Sorry I thought backslashes were escaped in strings

@lyxal True

CMC fastest-code: evaluate/execute a single character program. The program may not error. TIO works for timings. Fastest wins

code-trolling

No, I just think it's interesting to see what the fastest character in a language is :)

@cairdcoinheringaahing Like this?

Even more speed

What about this

Road golf through the mountains You have a bunch of cities on a grid which you wish to link up. Roads can be placed on any tile that doesn't contain a city, and connect to all roads or cities adjacent to them, vertically, horizontally or diagonally. Roads can link up via cities, for example C \ ...

@cairdcoinheringaahing my best and final

@cairdcoinheringaahing i believe my k impl should be among the fastest

it doesn't use libc, so executing a trivial program would require only a couple of syscalls

Real time: 0.008s

Finally found a Vyxal error quine!

Very nicely well done

Q: Make an error quine!

Your challenge: write a "program", for a language of your choice, that causes the compiler/interpreter/runtime to produce error output when compiling/running your program which is identical to your program's source code. Rules: Your program may be specific to a particular version or implementa...

0/10 for not linking the answer in the bounty :p

I honestly didn't think it was possible, but saw this error I hadn't seen before...

Idk what it was, but it errored with that, which errored with itself.

@lyxal the footer of your site (is that an advertisement banner?) is giving 502

someday i will get into K

4:07 AM

that seems to be the fault of john.mondecitronne.com; idk who that is but presumably you do so contacting them is probably a good idea

@hyper-neutrino that's not my fault. Other sites with the johnvertisements aren't displaying either

okay

@hyper-neutrino it's esoserver

citrons

oh is it citrons?

ninja'd

how can i apply to link my site to the ring :p

@hyper-neutrino the main ads site is broken: john.mondecitronne.com/leaderboard

4:08 AM

the whole john.mondecitronne.com seems ded

@hyper-neutrino join the GEORGE discord with a link from #hub

or just ask ubq

okay, thanks :+1: will consider

oh wait are you online on discord

I'll just send the invite

@Ausername does the debug output normally start with a blank line?

@Neil Ask Lyxal, I think so.

Yep it does

4:15 AM

correct

but when you run it offline, it probably wouldn't

one second

ah

offline it gives TypeError: slice expected at least 1 argument, got 0

but online it only has slice expected at least 1 argument, got 0

But offline, does it have a newline?

hi everyone

howdy!

@lyxal hello, nice to see you after long time

you too old friend

your pfp has changed

correct

it's back to how I had it during the pandemic

It looks like a brain, from far

but is a flower

Ever heard of Undertale?

@lyxal nope

ah

well despite his friendly look, flowey is rather unfriendly to say the least

@lyxal what is the song in your chat profile supposed to be? it looks like megalovania but written incorrectly

@hyper-neutrino it is megalovania

I copy-pasted from a website

link

If my whole family wasn't asleep I'd go play it on my sister's electronic piano thing and see if it sounds right

i played it on an online keyboard

and even just reading it, it's certainly wrong

first link I found

4:36 AM

@RedwolfPrograms what's the time there right now

even if we ignore the number of consecutive keys (megalovania opens with three Ds, the third in a higher octave), it doesn't repeat the C with a higher C

it goes from C back up to the higher D

@Wasif 23:36

bobble

why does everyone on SE stay up late?

not everyone, a few people do this
And also 23:36 is not that late

@lyxal holy s h i t that's painful to see

i can't even tell what part of it is supposed to be what part of the song

4:37 AM

Not sure about other stacks, but nobody on CGCC has a life lol

Code Golf is life

There is no reason to sleep when you can golf

D D D A G# G F D F G C C D A G# G F D F A B B D A G# G F D F G Bb Bb D A G# G F D F G is the correct opening 4 measures (ignoring length and octave)

Who wrote that site lol...how is that anywhere close to the top of google or DDG results when the author didn't even take the time to write it in musescore or lilypond or something

Or apparently check to see if it was correct

i can understand not knowing enough about music to recognize it, but if you're gonna make a site with notes, you'd better at least know what you're talking about xD

that is so blatantly wrong

also why are there so many As in a row so many times in the middle lol

seems like whoever wrote this doesn't know how to play above that A

Or because they're just writing the names of the notes, they can't write anything higher without it being ambiguous

10/10 notation

the whole higher F F F G G# A C A D D D A D C part is one of my favorite bits of the melody and they just murdered it

4:44 AM

I think we should drop this whole concept of "sheet music" altogether and replace it with this
