@AlexA. Using this (free for non-profit use)

"highcharts" sound like a statistics site for weed.

@PhiNotPi You should profit from it. Abuse the license.

Here's the demo that I based mine off of.

You can do chat strikes with three dashes on either side.

Why doesn't it work on the main site @AlexA. ?

--- ---

Whoa. What just happened?

@Justin Your guess is as good as mine.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Were you able to successfully test this?

I'm still super proud of that answer :D

I need to think of 5 more good string printers... ugh

@AlexA. Yes, with a lot of poring over the docs at 0300 XD

@quartata With a 3D printer you could make your own string.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ What is 0300?

Did I provide insufficient instructions for running and/or testing the code?

@AlexA. Army time - equivalent to 3 oclock

@AlexA. No, I was just tired and my mind needed a 'cane'

Haha

Are you in the army? Why 0300?

Ah! I thought of one.

midi

It's okay to reuse a language if the program is in a different size range right?

Yeah.

@quartata Were you thinking of a number between 1 and 10 and thought of one?

^

@AlexA. No, I thought of another string printer.

A printer that prints yarn?

A TI-BASIC one that's so strange that maybe just maybe @ThomasKwa won't crack it in thirty seconds

I've read that one of the terms of using some 3D printers is you can't print more 3D printers.

Mwahahaha

XD

Nevermind I just realized why it doesn't work

@quartata Why?

Or at least why there is a really easy way to crack it

I might still use the base concept so I don't want to give it away.

Hmm hmm hmm

Just sorting through my esolang directory to see if anything jumps out at me

Sadly Stuck has removed its scipy module...

XD

Otherwise I'd do something with determinants

Want to try simplex? :3

Maybe

But you'd probably crack anything I made

I won't answer. crosses heart

Did you also hope to die and then proceed to stick your finger in your eye?

XD Not yet

That's coming soon though, I bet.

I wish I understood Pyth

^

I've written some stuff in it but it's never optimal.

It's not stack based...

Very confusing to me

Stacks are confusing to me.

That's why I can't seem to wrap my head around CJam.

Write it out on paper

Like draw the stack

Then it is easy

Wait people do that?

I love stacks

I do.....

No

They don't just keep a mental stack?

Maybe I'm just a freak

@quartata I do that too

Doing it now for the cops challenge with ><>

@Justin I keep a mental stack but if I get confused I start over and write it out on paper

I just avoid stacks, which means I never have to do that. ^

Is something wrong with me? I don't get confused....

No

@Justin If anything that means something's right with you.

You're just more visual spatial most likely

But I can handle stacks that are around 8 deep in my mind...

While going through the operations and stuff.

^ You are amazing

^_^ @CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Thank you.

@Justin | My pleasure :D

Conor's pleasure

We should really change the acronym in our identicon; PCG stands for the Pentecostal Church of God.

How about PCoG?

For Programming (puzzles and) Code Golf?

ಠ_ಠ

What's wrong with PPCG?

Maybe P2CG?

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Wouldn't that be the "Post-Pentecostal Church of God"?

...

Listen.

PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPCG

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ That's the acronym we use but it's not what's in our identicon.

O.o . I don't think I've ever had +6 on a first-answer within an hour of posting before.

You spent a lot of time on that, didn't you? :3 @AlexA.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Look at the timestamps. Says it took 8 minutes.

What did?

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ ?

@Justin What took 8 minutes? :/

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ On what?

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ that was my response

^

@AlexA. The acronym

DAMN

I visually identified your avatars as the same >_<

so sorry

Hahaha

@quartata If you ever find a good one, I'll spend a day on cracking it

@ThomasKwa TI-BASIC, <=4 bytes, output: 1.3332386.

Just for fun ;)

@Justin I am amazed at your mental ability

hmm

I think that number looks familiar; I'm not sure from where

is it ln pi?

no, that's too small

Nope, nice try

does it have a two-byte token?

erm lemme check

I tried the cbrt(e) but it doesn't work.

@ThomasKwa No, it doesn't.

I tried ISC, it's giving me 1+F(13/25;2/5;1)

I have no idea what F(13/25;2/5;1) is

wait, is it cbrt 2?

no, it isn't

Nope.

Oh, it sounded familiar to me because there's another number I know close to 4/3

Ahhh

That's 2^(5/12)=1.33483985

You're on the right track with ^

what would be more challenging? checking the time based on the computers local time, or UTC time?

I'm thinking its UTC, but I'm not sure

Computers

imho

I have officially done it!

^ nice

@GamrCorps Double it and you'll be super metal. \m/

thx

@AlexA. lol

next goal

s/3/6/g

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I give up

Cool! It's e^(sin^-1(cos(5

I could have coded up a brute forcer, I guess

XD

By the way, my 8-byte TI-BASIC cop has 10^11 entropy

It's possible to make one with over 10^12, if my calculations are correct

o___________o

I already spent an hour using all the commands in CATALOG that have a binary arity.

No cigar.

And now you tell me it has 10^11 entropy. :P

@AlexA. What's super metal about 26 badges? ;)

@Geobits It's the... uhh... number of the beast's uncle.

I thought maybe 666.26 had some kind of significance :P

It's an awful strange looking decimal point, though.

It's when the beast visits his uncle.

Does anyone know where 666 actually came from besides me?

I do. It's in the Bible.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Now that I think about it, it has less, because there are only ten digits

Revelation 13:18

@ThomasKwa Oh. :P

@GamrCorps Oh, not the exact verse reference :P

So a brute forcer would probably find a different solution first

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ lol

Two thirds is an evil fraction, so 666 being the mark of the beast thing always made sense to me :)

@Geobits XD

Why is 2/3 evil?

I salute you @GamrCorps for knowing your slightly obscure verse numbers

@ThomasKwa thank you

@AlexA. Have you ever tried to cut two thirds of something? It sucks.

Eh, could be worse.

please tell me you have not already cracked my latest ti basic answer @ThomasKwa

Yeah, like into 1/pi ths

Plus, taking two thirds of something could be considered gluttony, when you should be sharing more equally. I hear gluttony is one of those bad things.

Did you know the Egyptians had a special fraction for 2/3?

did this chat just turn into numberphile?

Was it represented by a drawing of someone holding a jar on their head?

Egyptians were weird in a lot of ways :)

One of my highest scoring SO answers is related to Egyptian fractions.

@GamrCorps I love numberphile :D

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ me too

Please... I will be so sad if you have cracked it already

Quarto is desparado.

Give me peace of mind

@quartata I have.

XD

Noooooo

quartata falls dramatically down

How? Was it the fresh ti 84 that gave it away?

It was so fresh you could smell it just out of the oven.

To prove it, the SHA-256 of it, expressed as hex digits, starts with 0fa1

So fresh it would want to make a woman slap you

?

I swore this was going to fool you

Thomas is no fool.

@quartata I'll tell you in a day, unless you want to reveal now

I'm a fool sometimes, but generally not in matters of the TI-84

:D

Little known fact: TI-84 stands for Thomas Is 84.

I thought Xmin was so damn clever

That's his golfed Java

Interesting: det(Nidentity(M = N^M

I propose that all uses of ^ to refer to the previous post be replaced with ☝

@quartata It's fooling me that's for sure

My Ti answer?

Good night y'all

'night

Y'all

yes

@SvenTheSurfer There are at least four solutions.

I'm still unsure what constitutes as a byte

$;"Night!

@SvenTheSurfer Regular ASCII characters are 1 byte each. That's a start.

Some characters consist of multiple bytes, like fancy Unicode stuff.

No, lowercase letters and most symbols are two bytes in TI-BASIC

Wait four? There should be only one

@ThomasKwa This is why you shouldn't use TI-BASIC. :P

And LinReg(ax+b) is one byte

You can count bytes by going to memory management

@ThomasKwa wat i call shenanigoats on that

or you can just use TI-CONNECT to code and count bytes from there

tibasicdev.wikidot.com/one-byte-tokens

@AlexA. it's 0xFF

oh yeah this is the table I was looking for

@ThomasKwa No, that's ÿ.

So wait what are the other solutions

@ThomasKwa thanks for this, will come in handy

Ymin ZXmin ZYmin

I think those all work

@GamrCorps np

Oh ok. So still the same idea.

@AlexA. TI's encoding is nonstandard, as you can see

ಠ_ಠ

Well, so is APL's, so whatevs.

@quartata I was planning on answering to claim rep from the awesome act of posting the solution before you'd composed the challenge

but if you want to change it it's cool

Mm? What challenge is this?

hm? the Xmin

didn't you say you would edit the post to replace it?

Oh

No.

I figured it out lol

Okay, I'll post about it now since chat already knows.

Go ahead and crack it. I meant i need o make a new printer so I have 3 open

I now realize that's what you were talking about, but that wasn't as clever as I was promised. I just saw -10 from window

if a ti-basic code is longer than 2 bytes it's literally over for me

I have four 8s and a 4 out

Does anyone know of a way to count ti-basic bytes?

Carefully

I know I spent quite a while doing nothing on the 4 byte one, but I will push on!

I have a 32 and a 8. But I have a lot more in the pipeline

@GamrCorps Either count them manually (these are one, and all others are two)

Or use the mem menu

or type into your calculator, go to the [2nd][MEM] screen, count the bytes there, and subtract 9 plus the length of the program's name.

@ThomasKwa Ok thx, I was wondering why the length was really high
