The Nineteenth Byte

Public static void main....wow

I am so glad I have never written a line of java

@ngn is k no good for the knapsack challenge?

@Anush why wouldn't it be?

You haven't submitted an answer in k yet :)

I am tempted to add a bounty for answers in my favourite programming languages

12:16 PM

@Anush maybe later. i want to solve the latest project euler first, seems easy.

C, C++, nim, rust, Julia

Any other fast languages I could include?

K

K is pretty fast

i'm not sure how i'd performance compare with those langs

Is this a valid Temtem character name? Given a string of between 0 and 15 (inclusive) printable ASCII characters, determine whether the string represents an acceptable character name for the game Temtem. The following rules apply to character names: Names must have at least 3 letters (a-z) Names...

@ngn good idea

@Anush haskell can be pretty fast too

@all Epic talk of the creator of Python: Python 4.0 is going to be a golfing language!!!

That can't be, can it?

@EliteDaMyth good point

EliteDaMyth

though i dont know any haskell, i feel a functional approach to this would be interesting.

Actually the knapsack challenge in Haskell looks interesting

Snap :)

most imperative algorithms get interesting when you want the same efficiency in a different paradigm

I can imagine

rosettacode.org/wiki/Averages/Median#Haskell

I guess it would look a little like that

my first post on CGCC was a knapsack problem

Q: The Rod Cutting problem

Given a rod of length n inches and a list of prices that contains prices of all pieces of size smaller than n. Determine the maximum value obtainable by cutting up the rod and selling the pieces. For example, if length of the rod is 8 and the values of different pieces are given as following, the...

@EliteDaMyth nice!

@lyxal what did I do wrong?

?

@math What do you mean?

@lyxal the rickroll

ain't that catchy?

@math too much supply in a small amount of time

The effect of being rickrolled is lost once there's too many links circulating the market

Because once you pass a certain quantity, if someone falls for your trap, it's not as clever as it would be as if you got them on the first try

@math it's catchy, but you gotta be more subtle

Less obvious

ok thanks

There's a part 1?

yes

I wanna see it

wait a sec

@lyxal you did it

Smh

Wasted a perfectly good opportunity there

See you coulda bait and switched on that link and epicly pranked someone

That would have been an exception to the rule of subtlety

oh no

I had a list of 22 tips for rickrolling once

@user was it you I shared the rickroll tips list with?

Regardless, I'm off to sleep now

Any feedback

maybe a diagram would be useful

or a link to the oeis page (it must be in there)

@PyGamer0 "non-negative non-zero odd integer" - you can omit "non-zero"

@PyGamer0 grid should be size n×n

you should probably rip a graphic off the internet

and maybe link to an algorithm

@PyGamer0 elaborate on allowed moves, are diagonal moves allowed

oh no, what happened to wikipedia

Does someone have a link to that challenge where you have to print an ascii art keyboard? I'm not finding it.

do save your links next time

I have a bunch of good questions saved in notion

found it
