CMQ: What should a bit-length operation return when given a negative integer?

my gut tells me just whatever the bitwise negation's length would be

but it would be interesting if something else is actually more useful/consistent

whatever python's builtin does

...til that's a thing

^

Looks like it returns the bit length of the absolute value

it looks like it gives the length of the absolute value

yeah

Which was the way I was leaning; the other possibility was to add one to the bit length of negative numbers to account for the minus sign.

the way the docs put it it does seem like it's motivated by/based on string interpretation more than anything

This means that 1) there's not going to be much left of lyxal's original code when I merge his pull request and 2) BLa is going to be exactly equivalent to #TDa (still a 1-byte savings, tho).

does anyone else remember someone (I recall it being rydwolf) mentioning the mccollough effect in this chat room at some point in time (at least a year ago)?

I distinctly remember this happening but I cannot find any mention of it in this room except from 7+ years ago from legionmammal but that's not it...

@emanresuA, both skip and stringmode are completely broken now, likely due to updates being applied to destructured arguments, which results in the original ip object not being updated accordingly.

My bad, I don't program well at 11pm. Should be fixed now

Thanks, seems to be working now.

These are hilarious honestly

Too bad you can't read most of them

Ah :\

I do appreciate the name "Paul E. Morphism

Maybe I’m stupid but I don’t understand how this challenge’s definition of prefix makes any sense

(Or this one which is roughly the same)

e.g. [2,1] is not a prefix of [1,2,3]

@Fatalize It's a prefix set, not a prefix list

I want to buy "sensor gloves" to work with my smartphone outside in cold weather - but I'm unsure whether they are worth the price. Maybe they only allow rude operations - making a call, and are unfit for finer movements needed for working in Telegram and with a map navigation apps - I work a lot with a map navigation app, and I need the gloves to make the screen as sensitive as it is with hands

Ah, in English they are touchscreen gloves, the sensor gloves term is a Russian thing

Most of us never go outside, so I'm not sure how much code golfers can help you

Ah! Sorry.

I thought that "golfers" implied you were always outside, on the green

We do coding puzzles mostly, which can be done outside in theory but rarely are

which question?

reconstruct a list of strings from its prefixes

huh

wow

nahh they turned me into an online store

lyxal.com

No vyxal merch :(

Wait I was trying not to join the cult

noodleman.com is actually a web developer's site which is inconvenient considering i am also a web developer

first they take my esolang by making a cryptocurrency token with the same name

now they take my very own username for profit

what will they take next?

reading the terms of service page is funny:

I do not operate the website :p

@noodleman Maybe time to rebrand to spaghetti man?

@mousetail good call

depends on the type of noodles... macaroni comes to mind

Macaroni isn't really a noodle, noodle implies long and narrow

huh, I used to call them both noodles, before I knew about things like egg noodles

@hyper-neutrino doesn't ring any bells

I might be getting mandela effect'd

damn, I thought I had a clever golf for jonathan's solution using QƤ in place of ;\Q€ but unfortunately that only works when the input list is flat lol

oh wait I can "borrow" his QƑ for mine :P

funny that œ|\ and ;\Q€ do the same thing here and ẈIṂ and QƑ do the same, so if we stole pieces from each other's solutions we'd end up with the same thing that's 1 byte shorter

what's the best free llm for translating code from one language to another? I have only tried chatgpt 3.5

translating from R to numpy is still too hard it seems

I'm working on a BitCycle solution for Is this a Permutation of 1..n. Here's a couple of intermediate pieces
