The Nineteenth Byte

12:00 AM

Soop

Did someone once gather data on the average program length here on PPCG? I feel like I remember something like that but I may be wrong

Alex A.

Doesn't sound familiar to me.

Sounds like you could do some fanciness with the SE API and either literally parse the code blocks or assume people always use the standard header and take their word for the byte counts.

A few days ago I stumbled on an article where css is cleverly used to solve a picture differences : franklinta.com/2014/11/30/image-diffing-using-css

I thought it could be a nice idea for a challenge, but I've got no idea whether it's feasible in most languages, nor how to present the challenge. Any idea?

(I know of the challenge sandbox but was under the impression the challenge idea had to be already more carved out)

Status

its image processing right?

Aaron GOUZIT

yeah I guess so, I checked an we already have a lot of "check input for differences", but none about pictures

I thought I could do a popularity challenge along the lines of "highlight differences in the pictures"

Status

I'd say its feasible based on other image processing challenges

see codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/33172/34315

or codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/22144/…

undergroundmonorail

> yeah I guess so, I checked an we already have a lot of "check input for differences"

do we? damn

i've had a half-formed idea for a challenge based around this in my head for months

Status

you'd likely need several image examples for people to try

Aaron GOUZIT

12:29 AM

yes, that should be easy to find

Do you agree with the popularity contest? I guess code-golf is more popular, but I don't think I'd be able to define a formal output format, so I don't think code golf is relevant

undergroundmonorail

based on how silly SE's revision history can often be, showing huge blocks of text crossed out and then mostly the same text in green but with a small difference at the beginning or end, or "sentence that is from ~~sentence that is from~~ the ~~old revision~~ new revision"

is that not the strikeout format

anyway you know what i mean

Aaron GOUZIT

yeah I'm not too sure, but was discouraged when searching for "differences" returned 45 pages ;)

PhiNotPi

@flawr I like all of the words you fit in the rectangle.

undergroundmonorail

so the challenge would have some kind of rule like "try to find the most in common" and then create a revision history based on two blocks of text following that rule

Alex A.

@PhiNotPi I heard that Perl will no longer be supported on any computer in 2016.

undergroundmonorail

12:35 AM

actually now that i think about it, people have been saying for a while that "a good popularity-contest is one with a scoring system that is easy to judge for humans but hard to compute" and i wonder if having a challenge like "make an SE-revision-history-style diff program that most naturally decides what to highlight and what to cross out" where answerers point out tricky situations that theirs handles better than SE or other answers do would be good for that

maybe not, i'm just spitballing

Status

I have an idea about some text generator that'd be a popularity contest

but the code must look like a block of text

undergroundmonorail

python already looks like pseudocode

I'll have to flesh it out and maybe get some input after that

Alex A.

The thing is, with code golf, the languages used are rarely appropriate for the task.

undergroundmonorail

i literally don't think pb is appropriate for any reasonable task haha

Alex A.

1:06 AM

that'll lock your computer right up

quartata

Yesh?

undergroundmonorail

let's say you're typing a sentence and you realize that somewhere that you were supposed to type "and an" you only typed "an"

do you go before that word and type "and ", or do you go after that word and type "d an"?

Alex A.

I type "and "

undergroundmonorail

see, i thought i was an "and" guy myself

but without thinking, i just proved myself to fall squarely in the "d an" camp

I'd end up backspacing the whole thing and typing it out again

i don't know why i saw "an" and an incomplete "and" before i saw it as a complete "an". weird

@quartata Sorry, I didn't see this until just now. The code is a very simple "Hello, World!" program. See esolang's page on it.

oh how nice, my bother sent me a letter in the mail

Damn. I'm impressed anyways.

Can't wait to see someone golf in this.

You should probably add that program to the Hello World catalog.

undergroundmonorail

"There are in fact choices that were made for user friendliness" yes, on my language's esolangs page i also pretend that there are legitimate advantages to using it :P

VTCAKAVSMoACE

To be fair, it halves Brainfuck...

Aaron GOUZIT

makes me think, to increase coding density even more, wouldn't it be possible to use the position of the character to change it's function?

quartata

You know.

This would probably not be a terrible language for my RTTTL Obfuscation challenge.

> The folders "src" and "information" are a part of Brainfuck - they are simply part of how the ShadyAsFuck Interpreter works.

interesting fact: there are exactly 8 brainfuck programs (that contain at least 1 non-nop command) that are 100% identical in shadyasfuck

Alex A.

I write "golf" instead of "gold" always. And "byte" instead of "bye." What has this site done to me.

Aaron GOUZIT

@VTCAKAVSMoACE on the esolangs article when you talk about the substitution, you explain how to make ShadyAsFuck from brainfuck right? I think you should do the opposite for better comprehension

VTCAKAVSMoACE

Well, technically, all brainfuck programs can be identical in ShadyAsFuck.

undergroundmonorail

oh, i assumed that last column was only valid as the last instruction

VTCAKAVSMoACE

@AaronGOUZIT Will do, as soon as I can focus on my screen.

Aaron GOUZIT

1:16 AM

"The whole source code is split up in pairs" I assumed you were talking about the ShadyAsFuck code and was confused

VTCAKAVSMoACE

No, that's valid for anywhere in the code - wouldn't matter anyways, Brainfuck ignores whitespace.

Doing "++" in ShadyAsFuck is "+ + " in Brainfuck.

undergroundmonorail

i guess that makes sense

i assumed that the brainfuck -> shadyasfuck conversion would happen after stripping all non-[<>.,+-] characters

and for omptimal golfing it would but i guess it's not enforced

VTCAKAVSMoACE

Yes, that's true.

undergroundmonorail

if it was me, i'd have made you do it ;)

is there a language that only accepts one character?

whitespace accepts " ", \t and \n right?

@Doorknob n=(i(2πm+π))/log(2) where m∈ℤ

Yeah, that's the part you have to figure out :) Mod 9 only has 9 possible options, so you probably want a way that gives more

Damn, I thought I had a number for 12345678, but precision issues

I've impacted 2k people already, but I've only been here a week

this number really confuses me

It means nothing

Mini challenge: Given a string of 7 arbitrary decimal digits, what's the number you can rearrange them into to get closest to 1000000? e.g. for 9013863 it's 0986331, a difference of 13669 (better than 1033689 which has a difference of 33689)

Sp3000

Seems like it's either 0 then sort descending, or lowest nonzero then sort ascending?

Calvin's Hobbies

Think so. But how short can you program it ;)

Sp3000

Well if it's golfing, then you ignore all that and brute force: le!{~1e6-z}$0=

Alex A.

Oh man, some of the changes in Julia 0.4 make it much less golfable. :/

String -> Integer went from int(s) to parse(Int,s)

You need to make Jjam
