Well I did
They exist purely to save bytes
 
But you've said multiple times that you'd replace them with an MGS-like system of branches of Vyxal if flag scoring was changed
Which sounds very much like you're just trying to push the boundaries
 
@BrowncatPrograms Only out of retaliation against your personal bias
 
Which is what Vyxal is (perhaps unintentionally) doing, by the way, which is part of why I dislike its flags so much
Vyxal is a popular language, especially among newer golfers, so it having flags as such an ingrained part of the language normalizes them a bit
And I do not want to golf on a site in ten years where flag abuse is the rule and not the exception
@lyxal It's not a personal bias. I like you and I like Vyxal. I just really don't like its flags.
And that drags down my overall opinions on Vyxal a lot
 
I don't like vyxal's builtin set
 
@BrowncatPrograms sure seems like it
 
12:03 AM
A builtin doing different things on lists vs strings is bleh (such as "sublists" not also being "substrings")
 
That's called overloading and it's good :p
 
If done right :P
 
If done right, I don't know how Vyxal does it
ninja'd
But most of why I like Vyxal has less to do with the language itself, which I'm mostly neutral on, and more to do with it making golfing languages more accessible to new users
And because lyxal made it :p
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing we're working on that for version 3 lol
 
But anyway, I need to go for now. o/
 
12:05 AM
Very nice gamers, just managed to make a successful raid farm in minecraft :P
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing [nervously chuckles in Pip]
 
I just gave a helpful award to a redditor calling Tommyinnit "your mom" on a post asking for incorrect answers only about who tommyinnit is
Very cool
 
12:28 AM
What is it that you are trying to accomplish?
Also, vyxal is stack based, meaning that elements go in a somewhat postfix order
That looks like you're trying to use some sort of infix
 
This is for the coin flipping problem, right? Porting ovs' approach?
 
i am stupid nvm
not fully understanding stack language lol, i’ll keep trying
 
Tell us what it is you're trying to do and we can give you tips on what to do
Dang i thought that would have one boxed
 
@lyxal Hmm, I should probably admit that I (did) have some unfair bias against Vyxal. Some of it has to do with jealously that Vyxal was getting a lot of attention around the time that I made Ash, which is stupid given that at the timee Vyxal was a complete, working language (with answers), while Ash was a half baked prototype that had never been seen anywhere near main (and also you'd supported me thoughout the whole project, something I definitely don't think you enough for :p).
But I've noticed and tried my best to get rid of that bias for a while
It probably did still influence some stuff a lot though, like my opposition to the Vyxal community ad
But I do try and will try the best I can to correct for that bias, and I'm still going to consider my bias against flags in my opinions of Vyxal because I don't believe that to be an unfair or illogical bias :p
 
@lyxal More of an iced coffee gal myself :P
 
12:40 AM
@lyxal I think only replies onebox
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing I'll tell hyper to get onto that :p
@BrowncatPrograms that seems a bit sussy
 
Chat is the impostor
 
in Vyxal, 13 secs ago, by Vyxal Bot
@lyxal ඞ
Yeah okay you were right
But why tho
Why can't I ping and onebox
It doesn't make sense
 
It's SE chat
 
Probably chat filters out the :xxxxxxx part
So it only sees the link, and thus oneboxes it
But replies are kept
 
12:44 AM
does vyxal auto take top of the stack?
 
for output?
 
functions
 
Depends
 
Do you mean lambdas or defined functions?
 
12:45 AM
@lyxal Same reason that you can reply with quote and multiline messages, but not ping with them
 
@Niko that's an element, and yes, it does
Also, use ? for input
is for wrapping all inputs into a single list
 
nice
 
Can someone tell me why tf a washing machine needs its own wifi network?
 
Robot uprising
Either that, or it's a fancy way to rickroll you :P
 
 
12:51 AM
Trying to think of a joke about money laundering
 
It's a locked network so I doubt it's a rickroll
 
Very high effort rickroll? :P
 
and ofc it's samsung lol
 
Maybe that's just a samsung made router or WAP and "Washer" is the owner's last name?
 
@BrowncatPrograms WAP? Worship and Prayer?
 
12:53 AM
Also talking about Wireless Access Points is a lot more difficult thanks to a certain song released in the last few months >:|
 
(haha funny tommyinit joke goes brr)
 
I know tommyinit IRL :P
(only tangentially tho)
 
how many degrees of separation?
 
My sister's friend is friends with him. I've met him tho, he went to my school IIRC
 
have you ever jumped in the Cadillac with tommy?
 
12:56 AM
Can't say I have, no :P
Everything I've heard about him is that he's a prick IRL :P
 
why does it repeat
 
because it seems that x duplicates the stack
 
is Try it Online! what you mean?
 
i am trying to debug by looking at the stack
is there any flag that helps?
 
1:05 AM
not really
(heyo ROs feel free to move this to Vyxal room if you want)
@Niko what is it that you want the program to do?
 
It;s not disruptive, and it's more on topic than tommyinnit, feel free to keep talking :P
Tho you might be more vulnerable to Redwolf saying that flags are bad here :P
 
lol
 
do multiply over all subsets
 
Try it Online! might be what you want
because the loop doesn't automatically push the current iteration value
 
pog
 
@Niko because the loop pushes each item to the stack
hence to get it into a list, you need to wrap the stack into a single list

is Try it Online! what you mean?
 
trying to use 05AB1E answer’s approach
 
1:45 AM
@Niko ah
I see now
ṗḢ instead of ÞS is what you want
subset != sublist
ṗḢ is powerset then a[1:]
 
toooooo late already posted :p
 
no no as in it isn't the same as 05ab1e with ÞS
ṗḢ is needed to make it valid
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing 1-indexed allowed?
 
i found U
 
1:56 AM
@Niko but I meant that ÞSU doesn't do the same as æ¦
ṗḢ does the same as æ¦
 
@Niko I wasn't hiding
 
isnt it mean unique set
 
> æ¦ # get all non-empty subsets
 
Does Vyxal not have a "reduce by function" builtin?
 
r
 
1:58 AM
nvm
 
Cause a port of the Jelly answer is reduce(lambda a, b: (a+b)-(ab/5))
 
@Niko compare æ¦, ṗḢ and ÞS
@cairdcoinheringaahing λ₌+*5/-;dR
 
mseeing up messing up
ffff
 
@lyxal Why do you need the push the function? Why not just use a synatx think meaning "reduce by the following code"?
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing we don't got that
 
2:02 AM
That's my biggest issue with stack (or rather, postfix) langs :P
 
That'll be fixed in v3
 
Either you do the 05AB1E way of <blah>...} to apply some code under some condition (reduce, map, filter, etc.), or you push a function object and use that as an argument to the next command
Either way, they leave you inflexible
Either you hope for a challenge where the entire thing is <blah...} and you can omit the trailing }, or you end up using 2 (or more) extra bytes on pushing and manipulating the function
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing +×ψ5÷-φ/ in version 3
 
ψ is "compose left and right functions", and φ is compose previous 3 functions?
Looks tacit to me
 
no
ψ is parallel apply
φ is everything to the start of the line
 
2:07 AM
What's "parallel apply"?
 
apply each element with the same stack
so something like ₌+- currently or +-ψ in v3 will add the top two items on the stack and also subtract the same top two items on the stack
I stole it from mathgolf
 
So it's "reduce by: push a+b and a×b. Divide ab by 5, then subtract to get (a+b)-(ab/5)"?
 
@BrowncatPrograms just tried and got 69 WPM
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing not really
it's Reduce by: (push a+b and a×b / 5 and subtract).
+×ψ5÷-φ is all 1 function
 
Yeah, my grouping was ambigious
 
2:10 AM
ah
so yeah it is then
 
"reduce by (push a+b and a×b. Divide ab by 5, then subtract to get (a+b)-(ab/5))"
 
yeah
like that
 
: has a higher precedence than . :P
 
lol
 
isn't that lower precedence
 
2:12 AM
...hyper, stop being correct :P
@lyxal ^ Definitely credit ovs for that, and potentially me for pointing you to the Jelly answer to port :P
 
(*insert pxeger saying why we should not use the terminology "precedence"*)
 
there is nothing quite like doing a math workshop and code golf at the same time :p
 
What's wrong with precedence (aside from the fact I always spell it precendence)?
@lyxal Remember, 1+1=3
Unless WW is asking, in which case 1+1 isn't a number, and neither is anything else
@hyper-neutrino Should this really have been nuked as spam?
Looks like your standard, run of the mill, "this belongs on SO" crap, not nuke worthy
 
this was marked as spam because of this post
 
Ah, so past history of spam? Gotcha
 
2:22 AM
actually future
basically, the first post got closed and deleted, the second post was made, was marked as spam, so i went back, undeleted the first post, and spam nuked it
 
Depends from what time you're looking at, whether it's past or future :P
But that makes sense, thanks :)
 
that's true - sorry, sometimes i forget what time means since i am detached from the mortal timeline
 
Honestly, immortality seems like an OP ability to give to mods
 
hyper was already immortal before moderacy
get it right caird.
 
At least y'all aren't invincible as well :P
 
2:25 AM
do you have proof
 
well so long as I'm careful, aaron, user and emanresu should be invincible
 
@lyxal Untrue. HN was nuked once before being a mod, and so couldn't have been immortal
He was just resurrected. Big difference
 
catling gun
 
skamtebord
 
@hyper-neutrino Yes, I have defeated you once in a flag battle, therefore, you are not invincible :P
 
2:27 AM
@cairdcoinheringaahing would you say voldemort was killed and resurrected, or merely that he lost his physical form and his soul still remained
@lyxal wait why, does vyxal offer invincibility or smth
 
@hyper-neutrino Did you turn harry potter into a horcrux? I'll remind you that the mod agreement requires you to be truthful
:P
 
Catling gun: a gun which repeatedly either fires small cats, or is a small cat and fires bullets
I will trademark this
And patent it
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing do you just like, have that bookmarked or smth ಠ_ಠ
 
@BrowncatPrograms The ultimate weapon against vyxal gang
 
I know not what weapon WWIII will be fought with, but WWIV will be fought with cats
 
2:29 AM
@hyper-neutrino It's my only disputed spam flag, so kind of :P
 
oh yeah fair enough
i will go dispute some more /s
 
Tempted to raise a mod flag on it so I at least get a validated flag on that answer :P
 
@hyper-neutrino no because they are plates
if I don't break them, they won't break
 
what if their mortal form expires
do you have the power to form a new one so long as you have the plate
 
they're plates
plates don't expire
 
2:30 AM
@hyper-neutrino Good luck :P All of my spam flags are well deserved, except for this (it not spam, but VLQ)
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing ended up 0-indexing anyways, but Jelly, 10 bytes
probably loses to a direct port of one of the existing answers
 
@lyxal oh so they aren't actually humans with a plate form you possess but they are simply just plates
that makes more sense (no it really doesn't)
 
There's almost certainly some bitwise magic to be done
 
@hyper-neutrino correct
sentient plates
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing wait does it?
 
2:31 AM
absolutely
 
@hyper-neutrino did you not see the video where I washed aaron?
 
@hyper-neutrino No
 
ok cuz i just opened it and couldn't find something exactly saying that (though it's only reasonable that there are things i probably am not allowed to lie about)
 
The mod agreement is like 2 paragraphs of legalese about how you won't sell our data
 
the first two lines are that i will abide by the CoC and ToS which i don't think is exactly mod-specific
 
2:33 AM
@lyxal Despite many convos here, that might be the closest anyone here has ever come to making porn :P
@hyper-neutrino CoC and ToS don't ban lying
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing well frick
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing i think we've gotten closer
 
Mainly because it's close to impossible to do that, and no one would ever agree to such an agreement (if they read it, that is)
@hyper-neutrino Why do a CGCC meetup, when we could do a CGCC porn shoot? :P
 
ಠ_ಠ
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing it was just me giving my homie a gentle clean
 
2:34 AM
:P
@lyxal As long as you say no homo, nothing gay about washing your homies
 
Sep 1 at 4:56, by Razetime
aussie man gently scrubs homie with utmost care(no homo)
 
That said, you sent a video, and I don't remember you saying no homo :P
 
Razetime has me covered
 
@lyxal O_O lyxal thumb reveal, no fake
Also, I think the video is the first time I've heard your voice, and idk how, but you are a perfect amalgamation of every aussie I've ever heard :P
Global flag summary, what do your stats look like?
I've got a 98.27% helpful flag rate :P
 
i have SD autoflag on so mine is probably higher :P
 
2:42 AM
@cairdcoinheringaahing bruh did you not watch the sliding video or the lyxroll or the elevator moment?
 
Don't think so :P
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing 626 / 5 / 7 / 4 / 16 - 99.21%
 
@hyper-neutrino Wow, how do I have more flags than you?
853 / 15 / 7 / 1 / 2 / 1 / 879 / 98.27%
 
i have pretty few flags on cgcc actually
all of my mod-task-related stats are pretty bad for a mod :p (i think)
 
2:48 AM
I have 269 flags on CGCC/CGCC meta :P
 
nice :P
 
i have 66 + 65
and most of those on meta are from that retagging project
 
How do you have flags from that?
Didn't I flag most of those?
 
yes but i think there were also a bunch that i marked down so i could batch edit them later
 
3:04 AM
@lyxal @hyper-neutrino Thank you for the lyrics, I would've been completely lost without them :P
 
you're welcome :p
 
@lyxal This is the sort of thing that would make someone open the TNB, glance at the most recent messages, and either immediately leave or stick around forever

WansenBest/worst response to Evolution of Trust Backstory I was fiddling around with the Evolution of Trust and thought of this Challenge Given all-lowercase "hat person" name and number of rounds, output a list of Cooperate and Cheat that will give you the maximum possible amounts of points. You are a...

 
Um
 
4:04 AM
@lyxal now we need a face reveal ;P
@Adám wdym?
 
@pVCaecidiosporeadduced haha no.
 
wait wasif is in 9th grade?
 
probably
that sounds about right
 
his gh profile says so
 
i probably have a profile somewhere still saying i'm 16 lol
speaking of which i should go remove all of my personal info from the internet not cuz i think it'll give me more anonymity just cuz i can't be bothered to keep it up to date lmao
 
4:15 AM
@hyper-neutrino is it actually midnight for you?
 
because a userscript I have guesses your local time to be midnight
 
IIRC Wasif is the same age as me
 
@lyxal 12:15 AM
 
So he might be in 10th grade now
idk
 
4:15 AM
@lyxal uh what
 
 
oh by guess i thought it had some big brain way to guess based on my activity / messages or smth
well yeah waterloo time is 00:15 rn
 
@BrowncatPrograms maybe even me
 
@BrowncatPrograms smol child
 
@hyper-neutrino probably isn't the best example then
it also guesses without area
 
4:16 AM
o
how
 
currently i am 9th grade
 
if it's based on activity then i'm surprised it gets it right
 
@pVCaecidiosporeadduced Oh nice. How's high school?
 
it's surprisingly hard to find redwolf via searching
 
@BrowncatPrograms kinda boring (and hard)
 
4:18 AM
it says user's time is midnight
it also guessed @emanresuA's time correctly
It really is 4pm in New Zealand
because I know they are 2 hours ahead of me
 
but can you guess my time?
 
9:49am?
@lyxal it's a browser extension you retard
 
4:32 AM
@lyxal Correct.
 
@lyxal correct (15 mins ago)

@emanresuA no. /s
 
Can anyone review my proposed challenge? codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2140/…
 
5:21 AM
@Wansen sure, gimme a moment
 
@emanresuA lol, nice
when i entered that into my compressor i thought you put in an easter egg and then realized it's literally my site and i don't have easter eggs really
well actually i do but not in the compressors
 
@Wansen first things first, please do not add bonuses
if it's a bonus, it can also simply be part of the challenge.
@Wansen "alwayscooperate 99" => <insert 99 N's here>
I think you mean Y ↑
 
...yeah it definitely needs a specification of the point values for each action pair
because even if every version of the prisoner's dilemma used the exact same values it would still be a self-containedness failure to rely on those
 
it sounds like a prisoner's dilemma now that I think of it
lmao
@Wansen yeah there needs to be an explanation of scoring
 
Oh
Will do soon, thanks
 
5:34 AM
i also just want to point out that with the current names you can distinguish them purely by length because unless i'm missing something the strategies into copycat and grudger are identical
 
@UnrelatedString that doesn't really matter, if you can think of that then you can use it
 
i just wrote a simple zsh for loop to rename st prefixed files with a d prefix
for i in st*; do
    mv $i d${i:2}
done
^ i think that also works in bash
 
ngn
bash can be fun
$ mkdir tmp && cd tmp && touch rm && touch something && ls
rm  something
$ *
$ ls
rm
$
 
5:50 AM
@ngn oh so it executes rm something?
it also works with zsh
 
ngn
@pVCaecidiosporeadduced yes :)
and then you can clean the directory with:
* *
 
oh yeah it expands the glob
 
only when rm is the (lexicographically) first thing in the directory, but
 
what is the : builtin?
it does nothing
 
ngn
@pVCaecidiosporeadduced it's useful for while :; do ..; done
and for putting at the end of a .sh file to prevent the whole file from exiting with a non-zero error code when the last command in it did so
 
6:01 AM
Hrklo
 
@emanresuA hrklo
 
Az yu now, eye cart spel gud
 
6:13 AM
how do you determine if something (like an esolang) is TC?
 
you prove or disprove it
 
m90
@pVCaecidiosporeadduced esolangs.org/wiki/…
 
A standard way to prove something is TC is to write an interpreter for a different minimalist TC language in it, or (often easier) find a way to translate from such a lang into it
 
BF / BCT are two examples of that
 
Proving something is not TC can be easier (if it can be proven to always halt) or harder (otherwise)
One relatively easy way is to solve the halting problem for that language
 
what
 
CMC: Implement an esolang (of your choice) in BF
 
6:45 AM
@emanresuA Ticker action is actually interesting. It provides an infinite loop, and with "piecewise function" combined, it's very easy to simulate FRACTRAN which is TC (I tested and it even halts when no branches execute)
 
@Bubbler Write up an answer then!
 
i wrote my first polygot (2 langs)
#;n2
print(1)
 
><> and Python?
 
Try adding JS.
 
6:57 AM
@emanresuA uh how do i remove python's /* is Asasrihirt error
 
Something like:
 
Hint: Comment is not the only way to shadow stuff
