The Nineteenth Byte

@Geobits I talk to myself all the time

For evidence just look at the MC chat relay

There's nothing wrong with it

Geobits

@Mego Definitely, just not banned, so they still "count" :(

They still count as much as a answer on a question that probably needs to be closed can

Q: Acronyms can really obviously narrow your message sensors

Because of this, you need a better way of working out if a phrase is an acronym of a word. You also think it would be worthwhile to see if the phrase and word in question are recursive acronyms. Your task: Given a word and then a phrase separated by a line, output if the phrase is an acronym an...

@Geobits Terrible. That's just terrible.

Calvin's Hobbies

@Geobits At least I inspire challenges. (We need to bother Geobits more Hobbes.)

Geobits

@Rainbolt Yes. It most certainly is :)

@Calvin'sHobbies Oh, I though that one was more like "Oh crap I finished writing a spec and found a dupe. Let me mention it to try to deflect the close votes" :P

Calvin's Hobbies

@Mego I think zero byte programs can be valid in real languages. The empty set is a real set in set theory.

@Geobits I don't think so. I had an upvote for my challenge shortly before that was posted and I think it was that guy.

This is what happens when a little kid tries to fix the spelling of a foreign speaker: boardgames.stackexchange.com/posts/27263/revisions

I'm kind of surprised he knew what "manner" was

Anonymous

@Rainbolt Yeah, redneck is really southern

Geobits

Maybe he really meant manna, like miracle food?

Rainbolt

How much miracle food should I put in my deck?

Geobits

Yes. Don't want to starve or anything.

Rainbolt

I'll eat some manna and counter your spell

Geobits

He needs it for his voyage into the mountains and forest.

@quartata Might just do this... Hmm...

Geobits

Or maybe just stopped up:

With SAF/GolfFuck, you can save some room by just not allowing the NOPs

Geobits

> a sweet secretion from the manna ash or a similar plant, used as a mild laxative and as a principal source of mannitol.

So don't code for -+, +-, <>, and ><

Anonymous

Or in the three-byte version, +-+, -+-, <><, and fish

VTCAKAVSMoACE

5:16 PM

Yeah - we wanted to get rid of those anyways, so maybe those could be multiply, divide, modulate, and power?

Also: first Vitsy answer. c:

waits for @quartata to have an aneurysm

VTCAKAVSMoACE

I'll work on SAF a bit, see if I can assimilate some form of 3-byte compression for common sets of instructions.

Rainbolt

@Geobits I didn't realize that manna ash was a real thing. I'm playing Ni No Kuni and the manna is a forbidden spell that rains ash from the sky and turns everyone into a beast

@VTCAKAVSMoACE I'll join you in the eso room to help :P

@Mego I didn't mean now. I'm doing Calculus. XD I have a test tomorrow. Maybe in about 3 minutes. c:

dBF/ds = SAF

Geobits

@Rainbolt I love that game :D

quartata

Just finished my C# masterpiece only to realize I don't have a compiler

VTCAKAVSMoACE

@Mego Thing is, I can't really do much without flawr here as well - he makes the js page for decoding and encoding SAF.

Anonymous

5:27 PM

@VTCAKAVSMoACE I'm not the worst at js

Geobits

@quartata Is it something you can run online, like at ideone?

And I can whip up a python script for encoding/decoding

quartata

@Geobits I ran it in .NET Fiddle and it ran out of memory

Apparently 300 KB is the max...

@quartata Need me to run something for you?

VTCAKAVSMoACE

@Mego I do actually have to do homework. I'll be back in an hour or so, is that cool? :D I'll hurry.

@VTCAKAVSMoACE Sure thing, I'm gonna grab some food

Geobits

ideone is 256 MB, maybe better luck there. Short time limit, though.

quartata

@Geobits I didn't know ideone supported C#.

I'll give that a try.

@Mego Nah that's OK.

VTCAKAVSMoACE

@Mego Plus, once we're done with adjustments, I can make a wiki page for Vitsy. c:

quartata

Runs in ideone but it throws an error that is on a non-existent line number

Geobits

Nice :)

My offer is still open

quartata

It's for an upcoming CnR though...

I think I'm just going to get Mono (the compiler not the disease)

Anonymous

Same thing

quartata

I didn't do this in C# by choice

It was either C# or OCaml

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I'll say I was out with Mono tomorrow, meaning the compiler not the disease XD @quartata

quartata

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Give it a shot, tell us how it goes

I think we need a BF interpreter bot :P

@Mego It was going to be a feature of The Tin Soldier

But a certain bird told us it had to be in its own room

Why , @AlexA., why?????

quartata

I'll probably make my own room then when Conor and I finish it

We'll call it the 2^31th byte

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

But @Mego is right: a BF interpreter should be built in, along with, given an input of a language, output a link to the respective interpreter.

It's theoretically possible

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Theoretically, yes. It would be like a heck of a lot of data though

quartata

BF++ has socket support I believe

Anonymous

5:50 PM

The glory of Turing-complete languages: it's theoretically possible to do anything, but for some cough BF cough it would be easier to simulate the entire universe

quartata

So yeah I could write it in that

Anonymous

Just have a different program handle the sockets, and pipe them into BF

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

That might work

Like C, sockets and popen

Enjoy your segfaults

quartata

BF++ has both file I/O and sockets, so we could easily do it in that

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

ahem the term easily is an overstatement.
