I should get some lunch now
 
@TanMath I liked Martin's idea about allowing multiple digit squares.
 
@Mego but at that point we had two challenges, and I selected one of them as said
@Rainbolt me too..
@Rainbolt no although 121 would be problematic then...so I guess yes...(check out my train of thought!)
 
Hi guys
 
@SuperJedi224 hi!
 
8:02 PM
@TanMath Well no, it just means there is only one solution instead of a bunch. The only solution is a single element list, 121
If you allow reusing digits, 1, 121, 1 is also valid
 
god, in-grown nails are soo hard to manage...
 
How long do my submissions have in this? IE doesn't like the leaderboard
 
get a better browser
 
why do you like IE?

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ 1 day
 
8:04 PM
@MartinBüttner I can't. This is the School's tablet and they don't like me downloading stuff. cc @Optimizer
@Mego Thanks ^_^
 
@Rainbolt but the challenge is to only determine if it is a palindrome with square digits
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ windows RT?
 
@Optimizer Windows 8
 
full or RT?
 
I outgolfed Pyth, CJam, Par, and J. :D
 
8:05 PM
do you have normal desktop and taskbar and cursor too? or just the metro UI?
 
Come at me Dennis! I'm ripped!
xD
 
@VoteToClose repped too
 
@Optimizer RT?
 
@Optimizer This actually makes more sense, given the situation. :P
 
RT == Metro UI only windows. will not have normal desktop (like windows 7 )
 
8:06 PM
@Optimizer Oic
Naw, full
I'm under contract though
 
@VoteToClose did you actually try a falsy test case?
like the 3,8 in the challenge?
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ is it surface?
 
By the way, my cops and robbers answer will be safe in another 24 hours.
 
I hate my life.
 
if yes, then your school gives out really expensive things out to students..
 
8:07 PM
@Optimizer Naw. It's an intel inside
@VoteToClose Why? ;-;
 
wth is Intel inside tablet ? :D
 
@Optimizer IDK :/ It's what it says on the box
 
XD
 
two instant upvotes on a broken answer -.-
 
it says that on almost all laptops!
 
8:08 PM
@MartinBüttner link?
@Optimizer Yesh it does
 
What the hell... equals it totally borked in Vitsy. D:
 
Intel inside only means that its running on intel processor
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ don't bother, he deleted it
 
does your tablet have a kick stand?
 
@MartinBüttner oh
 
8:08 PM
Hold up, why is that not working?
 
@Optimizer No. I got a case for it
 
o-o
 
hmm, might not be a surface then. Can you just not look into what it is? My computer -> properties . ;)
 
The damned thing takes 6 hours to charge
 
@VoteToClose everything! for the sake of outgolfing cjam, pyth and J, you remove almost all required bytes off your program
> I once outgolfed CJam, Pyth and J using Java
 
8:10 PM
Equals is returning true for 3 = 8. xD
Something is borked.
 
@VoteToClose Is it somehow checking type rather than value?
 
No - I'm using .equals(), and it does return falsey. Or rather, it has returned falsey.
 
Fixed your precious message @geo
 
Peace out yall
 
bye! @CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ
 
8:16 PM
@Calvin'sHobbies :D
 
@VoteToClose From what I read of your deleted answer, you did n*n mod q or something silly like that.
 
@Mego I don't hide my socks unlike you freaks
 
@Sherlock9 I totally misread the question. xD I was on top of the world there.
But yeah. Should be simple now. (that was so bad, ermehgerd)
 
@VoteToClose Don't worry. One of the first answers, the Matlab one, did exactly the same thing
 
8:19 PM
@TanMath Yes, the downvoted challenge is to determine if the digits of a palindrome are square. The suggestion I thought we were discussing is to determine if groups of digits of a palindrome are square.
 
@Rainbolt yes...
 
@Rainbolt This is what I thought the challenge was originally.
If it was that it would be pretty interesting
 
@TanMath I'm sorry, TanMath. For some reason, I'm not able to communicate clearly to you.
If you edit your challenge I'll be happy to look at it again.
 
@MartinBüttner I was looking at this on mobile and was really confused because none of the leading spaces show up.
 
that's kinda lame then, I guess
 
8:25 PM
Because equals is borked for no reason in Vitsy (ಠ_ಠ), I cannot do this challenge.
 
Revised answer to "Automatic price-identification of scrolls in Nethack". codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/65313/39042. Was able to save 886 bytes. :D
 
that line looks like it's Java
 
@Rainbolt what challenge do you want?
 
@VoteToClose There's no equality checking in there that I can see.
 
8:30 PM
stac.get(currstac).get(stac.get(currstac).size()-2).equals(stac.get(currstac).get(stac.get(currstac).size()-1))
 
Ah, nevermind. Didn't notice I had to scroll to the right.
 
@VoteToClose Check to see if line 557 has all of its parens
 
558 is break;.
 
@quartata Line 588 is break;.
 
is the ternary the wrong way round? looks like equals gives 0, not gives 1
 
8:31 PM
D'oh. Ninja'd.
 
@VisualMelon Er. Yup. >.>
 
@VoteToClose Sorry, 557
 
I'm the biggest idiot in all the land, la dee la dee da!
dances
 
@VoteToClose XD GG
 
OH!. I know why I did it like that.
 
8:32 PM
....equals(...) ? 0: 1
 
@VoteToClose Well, fix it and post your answer. I've got an upvote waiting for you
 
@Sherlock9 ?
What?
 
It's because ) checks for 0, which makes 0 truthy.
Because logic.
:D
 
standard
 
@quartata Sorry
 
8:32 PM
I'm going to post this challenge now, any comments on it?
 
Oh, OK.
 
@VoteToClose Ah, so you copy-pasted... :P
 
@Sherlock9 Nah - fixing the language to make the question work won't be good.
@El'endiaStarman ?
Plus, it'll be long and brute force-y. (~-.-)~
 
@VoteToClose Ah, I was just assuming that you copy-pasted the code from the part for ) and that's why the ternary was the wrong way around.
Incidentally, you probably should really look into writing a function where you can just pass a few parameters so you don't have so much boilerplate.
 
@Zgarb I've got nothing. I'm largely a number theory guy, without much education in matrices as yet, so I'll just leave it to the others.
@El'endiaStarman @VoteToClose Incidentally, you should really find a way to access the stack without writing all that boilerplate @_@
 
8:37 PM
@El'endiaStarman (~-.-)~ Meh. Java is stupidly long. Why not make it longer? :D
 
Java is not as long as Python
Python is six entire characters. Java is only four.
 
@Sherlock9 Okay, thanks anyway. Did you at least understand what the main idea is?
 
@Sherlock9 That's...what I'm talking about.
 
A friend told me this joke recently, I don't know if it's popular or not:
 
It'd probably be something like private Double getStackItem(int item){return stac.get(currstac).get(stac.size()-item);}
 
8:38 PM
Neat joke
 
why do Java programmers wear glasses? because they can't C#
 
@Zgarb Just the main idea. I have no idea how to write a solution.
 
sorry, I tried to Ctrl-Return, instead of Shift
 
@VoteToClose As long as I don't have to read stac.get(currstac).get(stac.size()-item) over and over
 
@Sherlock9 You don't have to look at the source code. :D
 
8:40 PM
@VisualMelon There is an edit button
 
@Rainbolt so what do you like?
 
^ Cheesecake.
 
indeed, but I was looking at a different monitor, and didn't notice my error until I'd posted the next thing
poor show all round, really
 
Are we doing this again?
 
@VoteToClose Well, I like looking under the hood. My Kronecker solution involved me copying stuff from Pyth. Mostly because I didn't know RLE was a thing until I started learning Pyth and CJam
 
8:41 PM
41 mins ago, by TanMath
which ideas do you guys like?
41 mins ago, by Rainbolt
@TanMath I liked Martin's idea about allowing multiple digit squares.
Then I asked you a question about Martin's idea, to which you replied "No. Yes. [Comment that makes it clear that you misunderstood the question.]" I then corrected your understanding, and all I got was "yes...".
 
@Sherlock9 Vitsy is meant to be unreadable. xD
 
@VoteToClose But not unmaintainable @_@
 
@Sherlock9 Well, maybe that is his intent.
 
Nah. Stacks with how I've done them make sense to me.
 
Bad idea, but allowable... :P
 
8:43 PM
@TanMath But if you must know, I like cooking steaks. It's my new thing.
 
Java devs just need to learn groovy or scala...
 
@VoteToClose Re: a== b ? print(False) : print(True)
 
Come at me breh.
I do what I want. xD
 
@VoteToClose M8, you're the one trying to get me to learn your language
 
Fiiine.
 
8:45 PM
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I didn't pin anything! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
 
You familiar with ><> or another stack-based language?
 
@VoteToClose Lol, I'm trying to help.
 
Hiss I read java. xD
 
@Rainbolt so basically the challenge goes like this - determine if a number is a palindromic concantenation of squares. This means the number must be a palindrome and its digits are sqaures, both multi-digit and single digits. For example, 11211 would return True, along with 110011, while 123 would be False.
 
2 is not a single digit square though
So it isn't "both multi-digit and single digit"
 
8:46 PM
121 is
 
It's multi digit OR single digit

@VoteToClose Only slightly more readable than tea leaves
 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
@VoteToClose I'm familiar with stacks, I have a few days' worth of studying Golfscript, Pyth and CJam under my belt, and that's about it
 
Okay. So, imagine for a second that you're in a stack, with a stack to your right and left. When you start a Vitsy program, the stacks on your right and left are the one you're currently in.
You can add stacks, changing the ones right and left of you.
But the only pancakes you can access are in the stack you are currently in, unless you change stacks.
 
8:49 PM
Are they stacks of pancakes?
 
^ Let's assume that.
 
Do the pancakes have Lemon Juice on them?
 
No. That's gross.
So, continuing.
Along with having these stacks, you can also have objects. Objects are stacks.
 
@TimmyD Used it. ;)
 
8:50 PM
Take some number XYX. XY is a square, and YX is a square, but neither X nor Y are squares by themselves. Can you reuse the middle digit Y in order to make two squares? That was my question to @TanMath.
 
Whenever you declare an object, you grab up the stack you're currently in and the object eats it.
 
Dangit, now I'm hungry ...
 
Whenever you call that object again, it vomits it back up. You can manipulate it, do whatever you want, and then force it back down its throat by calling it again.

@VoteToClose ಠ_ಠ

Less hungry now

8:52 PM
So that's basically numerical manipulation in Vitsy.

Incoming amazing best challenge ever
 
@VoteToClose Oh and I used to code in Piet and Whitespace, so I know stack-based languages
 
Anonymous
I thought Whitespace was a BF encoding
 
^ Me too.
 
Anonymous
Same with Piet
 
8:53 PM
ANNYWAYS.
Back to what I was saying.
Methodology in Vitsy.
Methodology is pretty simple.
 
@Mego The esolangs wiki says stack-based. Who knows
 
Say that I want to do a specific thing many times in my 0th line of code.
 
watch it before it goes cool.
 
Let's say it's 0}[D1+].
(not important what that is right now)
 
Anonymous
@Sherlock9 Oh neat, I was wrong about Piet

8:55 PM
@Optimizer hipster llama
 
heyyyyyyyyyy
 
In my code, I just put that in a separate line from the 'main' line (0th line)
 
PSYber monday
 
> Q: How did the hipster burn his tongue? A: He drank his coffee before it was cool.
3
 
And call it with its line index.
1mX1mX1m
0}\[D1+]
That's methodology in Vitsy.
Everything else is pretty straight forward (at least, that you'll use in CG. There's some stuff with class/object orientation, but that's not important)
 
8:57 PM
@Mego You should give the correct output for n = 60 so the answers' accuracy can be verified.
(for Bernoulli numbers)
 
How do you wait in Java
thread.sleep won't work
 
while loop till a time
 
try {Thread.sleep(1000);} catch (InterruptedException e) {e.printStackTrace();}
 
fine
^^^
 
@Sherlock9 Got that? :D
