The Nineteenth Byte

Community moderators used to be able to merge user accounts but that was removed on the basis of privacy concerns, especially the log-in credentials (as I understand). I am asking for the reinstatement of this feature in the specific case of a merge of an Unregistered into a registered one. In ...

caird coinheringaahing

CMs can merge them IIRC

emanresu A

@hyper-neutrino Ok. Same email so should work

hyper-neutrino

yeah, CMs can

the reason we can't is because if we accidentally merge accounts not belonging to the same person we may expose one person's PII to the other

Help Bob split his apples Bob has a lot of apples, and he wants to split his apples with his friends evenly. (Including Bob.) However, every \$k\$th friend already has a lot of apples and does not need apples. Bob, however, is kind so he gives each \$k\$th friend the number of apples the friend a...

Q: Tips for golfing in Lexurgy

What general tips do you have for golfing in Lexurgy? I'm looking for ideas which can be applied to code-golf problems and which are also at least somewhat specific to Lexurgy (e.g. "remove comments" is not an answer). Please post one tip per answer. Lexurgy is a tool created by Graham Hill/def-g...

@Neil Why my retina program not working?

Try it online! (I want this to give bdf)

Neil

@Fmbalbuena you want (?=(..)*$).

Fmbalbuena

@Neil How this works?

@NewPosts This thing looks cool!

@Neil Ok

@pxeger I have 4 rep from suggested edits here, but I have 58 on Worldbuilding.SE.

Lots of spelling and grammar errors to fix over there >:D

Wow, 10 questions in one day

Dec 20 '21 at 1:45, by caird coinheringaahing

The last time we consistently had 10+ challenges per day was 2017

CGCC revival??

caird coinheringaahing

> consistently

pxeger

@pxeger well, 10 questions in one 24-hour period. 9 in a UTC day

@cairdcoinheringaahing yeah, I know, we just need to keep it up for a while!

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

We should schedule a 10-questions-a-day week

So we can all get in the habit of asking lots of questions

emanresu A

9:03 PM

I have a couple of sandboxed ones nut I want to progress towards socratic

pxeger

@taRadvylfsriksushilani Huh? What? Really? Why? How? When? Where? How many? Who's doing it? Is it?

^ that was 10 questions in under a minute!

What's the LYaL for this week?

caird coinheringaahing

@pxeger Last 7 days, we've had 4, 4, 6, 6, 2, 7, 9

If someone posts one more in the next ~3 hours, we'll have 10 today

In fact, last time we got above 7 was Sep 1st

pxeger

you mean last time apart from in this week?

caird coinheringaahing

Yeah, before today

Interestingly, we seem to alternate every start of the month between "lots of questions" and "not many questions". For example, on the 1st of April, May, June, July, August, September 2021, we had 1, 9, 5, 10, 1, 10 questions respectively

pxeger

That's surely just random noise

caird coinheringaahing

9:12 PM

Probably, but its fun to look for random patterns :P

LYAL is Vyxal

I'll be doing some teaching probably (?)

Fmbalbuena

@emanresuA no, lyxal

emanresu A

LYAL = Learn You a Lang for great good

Fmbalbuena

No, Learn you X Lang for great good

maybe Vearn you X a Lang for great food

caird coinheringaahing

If Vyxal's the LYAL, then codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/a/24177/66833

@hyper-neutrino has the bot ready, I think?

Yep, they just need to yeet it in here.

caird coinheringaahing

LYAL starts at midnight, so in ~2 hours

Just prepping

hyper-neutrino

Important notes about Vyxal Bot: it only has a few commands available (!!/run, !!/info). To run code, do !!/run `code` `flags (- to exclude)` `input line` `input line` .... Feel free to use this to test out code that you're working on throughout LYAL but also be considerate of spoiling the problem for other people. Do not invoke commands on the bot just for the sake of testing it or messing around. I can make the bot ignore you if I feel I need to to keep this room orderly.

The bot does not and has never supported multi-line code. If you need to do that, go to the online interpreter, vyxal.pythonanywhere.com

No, #1 was running the full program + - 1 2 which does stuff and pushes 2 which gets outputted.
