Hmm, I should probably list the ratings of flagless/versionless variants too

Aaroneous Miller

oh

V and V (vim) are being counted as two separate languages

pxeger

@taRadvylfsriksushilani I'm not convinced 8th and 4 are really languages

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

They probably aren't

DLosc

@taRadvylfsriksushilani I can see why you'd want to penalize languages that did well on 14 specific problems vs. languages that get used for everything. I wonder if it's worth penalizing a language so much for being used hundreds of times vs. thousands, though.

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

@pxeger I did the deduping/cleaning up steps at midnight last night, and I was very tired, so I didn't do a very good job :p

(CC V/V (vim))

DLosc

5:02 PM

@AaroneousMiller Complicating the matter, there are some pure Vim answers where the header is V (vim) just because the poster used TIO and didn't change the header.

user

@taRadvylfsriksushilani is there a reason the different c compilers aren’t considered variabts?

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

Yeah, same issue as V (vim)

Aaroneous Miller

@DLosc yep

@taRadvylfsriksushilani What exactly is the correction formula here?

@DLosc Thanks! Yeah, I expected a lot of feedback, there's still a long list of things I need to work on :p

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

2022

DLosc

@thejonymyster 1987 :P

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

5:04 PM

@pxeger I find the geometric mean of the answer counts, which is currently around 50. Then, I take a logarithm with that as the base of all of the languages, and take their rating to that power

So, for example, a language with 2500 answers would be squared

(The scores have a constant of 1000 multiplied afterward, so anything below that actually gets moved down)

I'm thinking the correcting isn't actually as necessary as it seemed

DLosc

I think a pertinent idea would be error bars, but 1) I'm not good with statistics and 2) I don't know how to apply that concept to a ranking list.

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

I think I'm going to change the sort to actual score

thejonymyster

that would be admitting defeat

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

It has a few instances of languages with 10-20 1 or 2 byte answers that are near the top, but meh

pxeger

It does seem like it doesn't make that significant a change

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

5:08 PM

Fixed

It changes the top 10 a lot, but if you filter out languages with under 100 answers, it's pretty accurate looking

And that would put Vyxal in 1st place :p

Aaroneous Miller

Some languages missing from the leaderboard: Flipbit, Plumber, Yggdrasil, Minecraft

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

Not enough Plumber answers

thejonymyster

yea im curious abt where some langs went

@taRadvylfsriksushilani some of the langs have single digit amounts?

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

@thejonymyster That's intentional, due to a special case

thejonymyster

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

5:12 PM

They should be discarded later though, unless there's a second "special case" (i.e. bug)

Aaroneous Miller

5:13 PM

@taRadvylfsriksushilani How many do there need to be?

DLosc

@taRadvylfsriksushilani Looks like we need to post more answers in GS2 and see if it's really that good. 46 answers isn't that few, and it's got a huge lead over the next closest language.

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

thejonymyster

right yea

Aaroneous Miller

As far as Minecraft not being on the leaderboard, I'm wondering if it is getting confused by a lot of answers specifying the minecraft version, or saying "Minecraft Functions" or "Minecraft Command Blocks" and stuff like that

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

I want to have separate math, string, kolomogorov-complexity, array, etc. categories

@AaroneousMiller I know Minecraft exists in the list of languages it finds, so it's weird it got left out

I'm going to port this to HTML + JS now so that we can all play around with the script together

Is there a way to improve my old answer

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

Cursed language feature: = is assignment, == is equals. So !== is not equal, and != is assign-anything-else

x != 1 will make x 0 or 2 or null or anything that's not 1

@taRadvylfsriksushilani nope, ! does so (In python only)

DLosc

@Fatalize It can't be backtracked to get different results? Or am I doing something wrong?

hyper-neutrino

@cairdcoinheringaahing tio.run/##K6gsycjPM/7/…

@DLosc It doesn't create a choice point, merely a constraint on the variables

hyper-neutrino

oh wait, tio.run/##K6gsycjPM/7/…

Fatalize

6:31 PM

So if you want to backtrack on it you need to create actual choice points such as labelling

If it created choice points it would always create infinitely many choice points which doesn't make sense with other metapredicates like findall

DLosc

@hyper-neutrino Is that off by one? I'm getting 10376 for mine.

@Fatalize *cries in Jelly's lack of date functions*

DLosc

@Fatalize Is there documentation (or a rule of thumb) on which builtins create choice points and which ones create constraints? When I write Brachylog, I'm constantly guessing whether I need ≜ or not, and I frequently guess wrong.

Fatalize

@DLosc The source code is the documentation

caird coinheringaahing

Jelly's only datetime function is ŒT which takes an integer z and does:

> Let the last three bits of z be abc. If a is 1, include the time; if b is 1, include the minute; if c is 1, include the second.

Fatalize

runs aways to hide

caird coinheringaahing

I think the "include the time" is meant to be "include the hour"

Fatalize

6:41 PM

@DLosc More seriously, I don't actually have that problem that often? If it sounds like a constraint, it most likely is

on integers, at least

DLosc

@Fatalize I've tried reading Brachylog's code occasionally, and the main thing it taught me was that I don't understand Prolog as well as I thought I did. ^_^

Fatalize

To be honest even reading the code it's not that obvious what behaviour you'll get

Most predicates for integers are constraints

like absolute value, square, etc.

most predicates that work on any type create choice points

(then you have stuff like multiply which creates constraints, but also choice points sometimes if the list of numbers to multiply is a variable...)

DLosc

So a constraint is "we're not going to assign anything to this variable yet, we're just going to note that it can't be (e.g.) greater than 5, and if/when it gets assigned in the future we'll fail on any potential assignment that violates the constraint"?

And a choice point is "here are six different values this variable could take, and we're going to try them one by one until we find something that doesn't fail"?

Fatalize

@DLosc If you only read predicates or metapredicate implementations it's not that hard, they all have the same structure more or less

the transpiler on the other hand...

@DLosc Yes exactly, constraints are basically delayed checks

@DLosc Yes, although this reasoning kind of breaks with constrained integers where you would think they always have a set of values they can take

choice points occur when there are at least two different ways to satisfy a predicate, through disjunctions ("or") or different unification possibilities

When you set a constraint to an integer, you don't actually try to unify it to anything, you just constrain it, and there is only one way to do that: apply the constraint, so no choices involved

tl;dr there are choice points when during execution, the interpreter needs to "choose" something, which doesn't happen when you declare a constraint on something (that's not a choice)

DLosc

And does ≜ create a choice point? I was going to say it means "try all integers in increasing order of their absolute value," but that doesn't quite fit because it knows to stop if existing constraints mean there are only a finite number of possibilities...

Unrelated String

6:55 PM

clp(fd) is... complicated
but yeah labeling respecting constraints intelligently is something it does

Fatalize

@DLosc ≜ creates one choice point for each possible value the integer can take

Under the hood, when you write >.∧0<., the internal variable for the output has an "attribute" that says it should be in the domain 1..4

so ≜ can only choose between 4 values

clp(fd) is the Prolog library that manages all of this logic and writing that is basically years of research and developpement efforts

because it's not always so obvious how the domain of an integer shoould change depending on the constraints

but at the same time you want to reduce the domains as much as possible (with no error obviously), to get more efficient constraint solving

(The guy that helped me extend ≜ so that it worked with infinite domains (say any positive integer) is the guy that actually developped clp(fd) for SWI-Prolog)

Given an integer N from 1-9, you must print an NxN grid of NxN boxes that print alternating 1s and Ns, with each box having an alternating starting integer. Examples Input: 1 Output: 1 Input: 2 Output: 12 21 21 12 21 12 12 21 Input: 3 Output: 131 313 131 313 131 313 131 313 131 ...

@DLosc you're right, it was broken. I fixed it :/

on that note, onioni?

@SandboxPosts @Fmbalbuena this would be a better challenge if it was just "given two inputs, do the sum as follows" instead of making it about doing the sum for pairs of elements in the input

Q: Score a Scrabble Play

Background In Scrabble, players take turns placing tiles on a grid so that each contiguous set of (more than one) tiles in every row and column makes a word. In one play, tiles can be placed anywhere in a single row or column as long as they are all part of the same word. A word is scored (withou...

There's no need to make it about a list to sum elements, just do it as two inputs

Fmbalbuena

@cairdcoinheringaahing I don't understand you

@Fmbalbuena Currently, you're asking to implement a function f (the "sum") with that behaviour, then, given L = [a, b, c, d, ..., y, z], return [f(a, b), f(c, d), ..., f(y, z)]. Requiring the challenge to "sum" over every 2 elements instead of just 'given two inputs, "sum" the inputs' is unnecessarily overcomplicated

Fmbalbuena

ok

Return [sum(a, b), sum(c, d) ...] where f(x, y) is sum and a, b, c, etc is elements of the input

@cairdcoinheringaahing correct title

caird coinheringaahing

No, don't change the title, change the challenge

Don't bother with returning a list, just return f(x, y) given x and y

Fmbalbuena

I need to change the title to "Sum two lists"?

Does anyone know if answers in Vimscript are the same as answers in Vim?

(For the ranking program)

I think I've seen them referred to interchangeably

@GingerIndustries onion my ma is that you should allow 0-based indexing. Also, you might change the flavor text to clarify that the robot never "breaks" in the scenario imagined by our solution, but rather stops before a jump that is too large for it.

@taRadvylfsriksushilani I don't think so, although some of them might be incorrectly labeled.

Ginger Industries

@DLosc ah, thanks.

DLosc

For example, this answer definitely will not work as-is in Vim. That kind of Vimscript answer is a separate language (albeit a closely related one, which can be run from within Vim).

CMQ: Do you ever "autocorrect" yourself? Like, when I try to type certain words that are very similar to common ones, I end up typing the second without even thinking

Ginger Industries

camera reset is done (but looks a bit odd)

DLosc

On the other hand, this answer is actually Vim, even though it's labeled as Vimscript.

@taRadvylfsriksushilani Yes, that happened to me earlier this week. I wish I could remember what the word was.

@cairdcoinheringaahing The irony of typoing a typo X^D

caird coinheringaahing

("almost always" yes I see how many times I've ddone it. That doesn't count the edits where I've corrected it :P)

@DLosc It's surprsingly hard to make a typo on purpose

Also, my brain isn't functioning tonight

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

@cairdcoinheringaahing Seems like an example of self-autocorrect then :p

I swear, having to regularly cook for myself at uni has messed up my eating habits so much. Its 10pm, and I'm eating tuna from a can and drinking a beer ebcause I can't be bothered to actually make anything :/

@cairdcoinheringaahing My go-to foods are different, but yeah, relatable

Tortilla chips, beans, and salsa makes a good snack, but sometimes it turns into a meal

caird coinheringaahing

@DLosc This isn't even my goto food: my accommodation provided me with a couple of boxes of free food (I think cause I reported I tested positive for covid, so they assumed I was in my room instead of at home), so I'm working my way through that

Canned mac and cheese is the worst thing I've ever had

DLosc

@cairdcoinheringaahing Oh, lol

@lyxal Can you star This? because you starred a lot of github repo

@emanresuA that was from testing data from a uni assignment I did last year

emanresu A

Lol

And the names are based on all the minecraft dogs I had on the redwolf smp

I had a house called The Nineteenth Bark

And it housed dogs such as "Razewoof", "WoofKing", "UnrelatedWoof" and so on

Wow lol

Thinking back to it now, the family tree I accidentally created would have some really weird implications for here
