@UndoneStudios i use vim so i am 420% faster

Random Competition: Type out the most digits of pi as you know it

I once again misread a challenge before solving it, now trying to find if a challenge exists that matches my answer

@mousetail which

@UndoneStudios 3.141592653589793238462643383

This one: codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/80657/parse-a-1d-language My solution assumed polish notation

@PyGamer0 3.1415926535897932384626 and I'm wondering what next

@mousetail thats... 2016.

So....

Why does age matter?

(don't take that out of context)

@mousetail because it will look gen y

oops i took it out of context

my bad

sarcastically laughs

I'm looking for challenges to solve with <>< and old challenges are usually simpler, so more doable with esolangs

@mousetail hehehehe time to do exactly that

@mousetail wtf is a <><

Fish

fish swimming in a pool fish jumping out of the pool fish being caught in the net fish going back again

i think that's a typo, it's actually ><>

Oh now I understand the similarity

it is a fish

^

V

^

is what you want

You can use shift+enter to put a line break in your message without sending

Now that I realise it's a fish I feel dumb for asking what would be "wtf is a fish"

@lyxal ur the 1%

Anyway enjoy my solution to a problem that doesn't exist: mousetail.github.io/Fish/…

@DialFrost no, not really

i think there's a language called something like ^v^ pronounced worm, (i can't remember the exact spelling)

@DialFrost not at all actually - I'm in the 99% of uni students who do HECS

@lyxal ah not "really"

looks more like a caterpillar

@lyxal HECKS

It's actually pretty easy to be top 10% in terms of wealth

@DialFrost I kid you not it's actually called HECS

higher education... computer science

@mousetail are you? I thought you said you couldn't take a vacation in the Bahamas

If you have a computer you are already top 25%

@UndoneStudios I'd rather buy a PC

@mousetail than give up codegolf?

Than go on vacation to the bahamas

especailly by myself

@mousetail oh yeah i remember seeing something abt you having ASD

Is that a thing now? ASD people are allergic to beaches?

> beeches

@mousetail no the part about going alone

Fair enough

But also ouch

ok it's just... going alone seems kinda related to what i raised

yes 2 down, 38 to go

@mousetail Fish is good, I wish I know Fish :(

If I know Fish it would be real fun to golf in it

@null It's very easy to learn

I mean master

You don't need to master a language to golf it

IDK

The only way to master is to use it a ton

:(

That's the first and most important step

I can only write programs like the Mondrian painting in ><>

Just learn the ? operator and you can go wild

And when I try to get into the golfing, I fail to make a working program :(

Working program first, then golf a little at a time

thx for the advice

If you can't figure out how to golf it just post ungolfed

people may give you tips

and sometimes it may actually be optimal already

the reason why none of my posts are mine ↑

@mousetail Unfortunately, no one even look at my posts

e. g. my two recent GolfScript answers

who starred my post

@UndoneStudios Not me

@null Probably because there is no obvious improvment

@mousetail I don't think so

Also sometimes people just don't read a post for no reason

I very much believe there is a way better than '"""'/['"']+2%{~}%

@mousetail Sure

I said obvious imrpovment

There might be a much better way but it could be a big change

then who

It's almost obvious

and people don't want to put in the effort

it doesnt make sense

Just that I don't know GolfScript

so I don't know it

@mousetail often me

@UndoneStudios What? I mean people in general not one specific person. Most people won't read any specific post

I meant I was one of them

I used to try to read every post

But I no longer do now

Most posts are in languages I don't know so I don't know how I would read them or judge if they are good or not

But it's certainly possible to judge if they are impressive or not

But well

How?

by how obfuscated they look

But well. To everyone: If all your posts are getting one upvote randomly, during the last period I was active, maybe I did it

I can write plenty of obfuscated code that isn't actually short

@UndoneStudios Almost exactly

And I can't judge if SBCS languages are obfuscated

Well not really

Some answers looks like there's clearly much effort put in it

How?

Example 1. Every f**king single answer of Kamila Szewczyk

Who's Kamila Sze... what?

<REDACTED>

Why do you think those answers are high effort? Looking at this one for example: codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/248563/91213

There's not even a explanation, which isn't needed for a high quality answer but without it how can I tell if it's impressive

Me too. That looks like a Literal English answer
