Q: Compute matrix blockiness

Luis MendoConsider a non-empty binary matrix M and a natural number n. For the purposes of this challenge, M is said to have blockiness n if it can be built using adjacent square blocks of size n, where each block has equal entries; and it cannot be formed using square blocks of any larger size. Intuitivel...

Q: Number of complete rhyme schemes

pxegerA rhyme scheme is the pattern of rhymes at the end of the lines in a poem. They are typically represented using letters, like ABAB. We consider two rhyme schemes identical if they are isomorphs, and therefore only report the lexicographically earliest. Equivalently, rhyme schemes are simply strin...

 
why has it only picked up 2 of the 3 bounties?
 
question: do github followers know if i created a new public repository?
@lyxal ^
 
@pxeger I set two of them back to back, then waited a bit between the second and third, the third may have missed the "window" that the first two are in
 
@PyGamer0 yes. At least I think s9
*so
 
@lyxal check your activity then?
cause i made a new repo
you found it lol
 
@BgilMidol 4 guess: 987/1000 o_o
 
nice
 
gave up
 
why
 
my vocabulary is trash
 
1:38 PM
sus. I got #414 but everything else is cold
Okay wait I got #8 now
 
 
4 hours later…
5:56 PM
I solved Semantle #71 in 8 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 8.20. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #8. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 7.88. semantle.novalis.org
 
Just got my Jelly IDE's debugger working. This makes writing "a bit" easier :D
Also prints nice & clear stack traces when anything crashes.
Oh, and autocomplete with keyword search.
 
6:17 PM
noice
 
Nice!
 
6:38 PM
8?!
was referring to the semantle result
 
the IDE is now public at gitlab.com/PurkkaKoodari/jellyide in case someone wants to try
 
@ophact luck

Can all geo-nerds please turn on "Hide country image" so that we primitive mortals have a chance to beat them?
 
git gud

@PurkkaKoodari NICE
i absolutely hate reading the error messages jelly gives
 
"messages" is a charitable term for them lol
 
ive never really tried to program with jelly, it seems like a terrifying langauge
 
it makes sense usually
 
7:45 PM
@UnrelatedString Mostly because the programming style and indeed the language relies a lot on currying and recursion
 
jelly does not have currying
but there is a lot of composition
 
@PurkkaKoodari Nice! Would it be possible to host it on pythonanywhere or something?
 
the main problem with jelly's error messages is almost every builtin is just some anonymous lambda in a dict so python's stack traces just tell you there's some anonymous lambda that shat itself
also the depth system is kind of obscure
 
@allxy Is this an online REPL or something?
 
It's a python hosting site - pythonanywhere.com
It's free although not particularly powerful
 
7:48 PM
How would one run a Tkinter GUI app there?
Though, I just pushed a way to run a wrapped Jelly CLI with the same stack trace formatting (but obviously without debugging or visualization).
 
Nvm, I was tihnking you could host it as an HTML page but I see know that that doesn't really work
o/ for nowish
 
8:18 PM
How can I a draw a rectangle with random points in it in
Python? Say I set the density to 0.1.
Maybe one of the random functions does it
 
maybe generate random nums with random.randint
 
most likely yeah, generate some random nums and do whatever you need to put the in the right range to be inside the rectangle
 
It's the density I am not sure about
Unless I can somehow set the probability of being a 1?
I only need 1s and 0s but 9 times as many 1s as 0s on average
CMC in a 100 by 100 square set 10% of the pixels to black chosen uniformly at random
 
well you could just shuffle the list of points and take the first 1/10
 
8:34 PM
stupid idea but might work: shove tuples of pairs of random ints into a set until you have a set of 1000 points, and then draw all of them
 
@des54321 yes that could work
@hyper-neutrino I am not sure I understand
 
if you want exactly 10% of the pixels to be black randomly
then you can shuffle the list of points and select 10% of them, and then make those black
that works best if your total grid size is small
 
Oh you mean make 10,000 points first
 
@graffe if youve got a list holding the coords of all the pixels and you shuffle it then take the first 1000 youd get 1000 random points in the rectangle, assuming a good shuffling algorithm
 
if not then you can just randomly select a pixel to turn it black, and if it's already black just try again, and that should be faster once your grid is large enough
 
8:36 PM
Can anyone code any of these ideas? I want to see a picture
 
hmmm sure gimme a sec
 
Cool
 
oh what library are you using for drawing images?
 
Anything in python is ok with me
Matplotlib has scatter
That might be easiest
But anything else is ok too
 
i think the only thing i actually have on my computer is pygame which is probably the worst for this problem
 
8:42 PM
pip install?
 
oh why is my computer so irritating apparently some bullshit thing i downloaded for school already has matplotlib, but of course my actual python install cant see that
 
Virtual env?
 
nah im just uninstalling this other install i dont think i need it
theres no way this will come back to bite me later /s
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN "access is denied" windows
sigh
 
Good luck!
I have to go but please tag me and I will read it
 
got it
i feel like everything I do to my laptop makes it more and more of an xkcd 2083 situation
 
9:02 PM
I actually enjoyed my calculus homework today for the first time in months
One problem was the last one in a less fun assignment, but it didn't involve much calculus, and instead was a calculator-allowed problem involving lots of algebra and some trig, so I could use desmos and draw stuff on a whiteboard and it was fun. And then the next two assignments were on sequences and infinite series, so that was fun.
Really my favorite part of calculus is the parts where you don't need to do calculus
Although also if you integrate something fairly simple and get a huge mess, then you take the derivate of that huge mess to check your work and it cancels out into that simple thing again that's pretty satisfying
 
well the problem with that is that most of a calculus class is doing calculus
 
Yeah. I'm just lazy lol
 
oh math is always satisfying when it cancels out nicely
 
What's not satisfying is when the answer's like...73pi/20 with some exponential stuff added in (oh and maybe some squareroots too)
 
but when you have to take a huge integral and youre just like "why cant i just plug this into wolfram alpha"
nasty fractions of pi should be illegal
 
9:07 PM
I spent an hour and a half trying to integrate √(1+x^3) once
 
Did you succeed?
 
hmmmm god that looks painful
oh interior isnt even linear, can you even integrate that?
 
@RadvylfPrograms Gave up and plugged it into wolfram, and it's pretty much impossible
 
Is that some sort of like...3d curve length or something?
 
I don't remember
 
9:11 PM
Started my best of 2021 bounty for Most Interesting King of the Hill Submission, Razetime's Rabbit
And we're only a third of the way through 2022 :p

Hello: I am wondering, what overlap is there between the conlanging and code golfing communities? I am a rather new member of both of them, and I am hoping someone with more experience might be able to make a guesstimate. Pyautogui
 
10:37 PM
@PyGamer0 literally solved that in 2 guesses lol
 
10:57 PM
@Pyautogui I've noticed a lot of crossover between people here and people interested in linguistics, so I wouldn't be surprised if there were a fair number of people interesting in both code golf/competitive programming and conlanging. Especially since esolanging and code golf are pretty similar, and esolanging and conlanging are also somewhat similar.

You've probably all heard of the NATO phonetic alphabet, but have you heard of...the CGCC phonetic alphabet?
A   APL
B   BYTE
C   CODE
D   DYAD
E   ELEVEN
F   FRICK
G   GOLF
H   HALFBYTE
I   I/O
J   JELLY
K   KOTH
L   LOOPHOLE
M   META
N   NINETEENTH
O   OSABIE
P   PROGRAMMING
Q   QUINE

S   SANDBOX
T   TIPS
U   USER
V   VYXAL
W   WHITESPACE
X   XWITHOUTY
Y   YABASIC
Z   ZSH
 
11:20 PM
Thanks! That makes sense.
@RadvylfPrograms , I fully intend to utilize that phonetic alphabet.
I wonder, how would one approach a extension for umlauts?
 
Not sure, maybe esolang names?
Although most probably still won't have diacritics
Maybe a single additional word to indicate an umlaut?
 
Perhaps. Maybe U: Unary for the extra word?
I recall it being used in golfing.
For example, the German word flüt would be FRICK LOOPHOLE USER UNARY TIPS
 
@allxy Well... just added a CLI-based debugger because I could(tm). Now it could technically run anywhere with a REPL-like interface :D
 
Nice try buddy
What a typo
 
@Pyautogui Hey, why are you erasing me? :P
 
11:30 PM
What do you mean?
 
USER
 
I am in all honesty unsure.
Oh.
That was not my intention.
 
@RadvylfPrograms 133K views doesn't even make sense. K is a measure of temperature, not views :P
That is a very cool video though
@Pyautogui I konw, I was kidding
 
Is not 133K degrees Kelvin less than 0 celsius?
 
@user I'm sure they just stole the script from the original
 
11:32 PM
That is a very cold video.
 
It was a pun
Cool because 133K
@Pyautogui Yeah 0 degrees celsius is like 273.15K or something
 
Sorry, I have a mild form of ASD
 
That's nothing to apologize for
 
Sorry, that was a typo.
I was just attempting to explain why I misunderstood your joke(s).
I should have clarified.
 
Oh ok
 
11:36 PM
@RadvylfPrograms pretty sure that video is satire
 
Might be yeah
Just as likely they just shut off whatever computer was running the script tho lol
 
From the way he was talking, it seemed he was doing a parody of the Tom Scott video which is surprisingly still accurate
 
Oh, I didn't watch the video
So yeah you're prolly right then
 
And the rest of the channel is comedy sketches too
 
YEAH YEAH
 
11:41 PM
@RadvylfPrograms ah see you missed the part where he says "if it's not accurate, that's because you're too early or too late. It's your fault if it doesn't sync"
 
shhhhh
I am always 100% correct and funny :p
 
Ofc ofc
 
Inspirational video
 
i was about to say "wow that feels like it was made in 2016" until i noticed it was made in 2016

SteffanConvert J brackets back to 2-D list Let's say we have a 2-D list, like the following one: \$ \begin{bmatrix} \color{red}{1} & \color{red}{2} & \color{red}{3} & \color{red}{4} \\ \color{blue}{5} & \color{blue}{6} & \color{blue}{7} & \color{red}{8} \\ \color{green}{9} & \color{green}{10} & \color{b...

 
11:46 PM
At first I disliked Java, but I've now realized that it lets you write legacy code faster than anything else on the market.
 
There's a whole playlist of these awful videos
@RadvylfPrograms Almost. COBOL is better
Very important for job security
 
Nah, use ALGOL
 
@user oh no
and here i almost forgot about the original important videos
 
omg they had robots in 1992
Wait, doge has been a thing since 2014?
 
Oof
