I wonder if we've ever had a well-received question.
dammit I don't have enough rep to make a synonym for it
the only half-working attempt I remember was the CnR
Can someone make a synonym for ?
@AlexA. even CH failed
23:01
but the scoring was borked because it was summing up the scores which turned out to be in scientific notation
@AlexA. Because I see new users calling it that. I want it to have that synonym so that they'll read the tag wiki and realize their terrible mistake
@MartinBüttner They've been deleted...
or was it edited out of something?
And edited out.
But I remember this like "moon" challenge that was called antigolf
23:02
Hello
How is everyone doing?
Terrible
Why do we even have ?
I have no idea, honestly.
@SimpleArt I want to eat a large bowling ball.
Mostly for legacy purposes nowadays, I think.
23:04
@FlagAsSpam now why would you want to do that?
why not oneboxing....
@SimpleArt ^ This. This is why.
was officially retired. is still an active tag.
@quartata why do you say the world is so terrible?
@SimpleArt I don't know about the rest of the world but I can't think of anything to buy in the steam holiday sale
23:06
@Maltysen It's not a direct image link? media.giphy.com/media/zEJPPtEbjK8co/giphy.gif
@quartata Dear Esther
@AlexA. I hope that's a joke
@quartata Ah, yes, that is a terrible tragedy
is now synonymous with .
@quartata I love that game
23:07
@AlexA. Really?
@FlagAsSpam What?
@quartata Yes
It's the most beautiful Source engine game, granted.
But it is a walking simulator.
Walking sim?
23:08
It honestly could run in Source SDK Base. That's how little it has been modified
I'm gonna go my direction now. Just realized this is about coding. I'm a math nerd.
My kind o' game. ;D
@SimpleArt No stay please
We talk about math too
@SimpleArt Join us. :D
JOIN THE DARK SIDE
23:08
@quartata So what?
@quartata XD

Q: Gamma Function Golf

MegoGiven a real number t in (-10^9,13) (not including -10^9 or 13) as input, output Γ(t), also known as the Gamma function, which is defined as follows: You may not use a built-in Gamma function to solve this task, nor may you use built-in numeric or symbolic integration functions. Your output sh...

Math ^
@FlagAsSpam That's a terrible example
Why don't you guys come to the chaotic 4-dimensional Hilbert Space?
Hey, gamma's cool.
23:09
@SimpleArt we actually don't talk about coding or math most of the time
@quartata Open world exploration with beautiful environments and an interesting storyline that unfolds as you go. Idk man, that sounds pretty great.
@SimpleArt Vitsy is 4D enough for me.
It is much better than the dark side

Q: Find the nth Fibohexaprime

AdnanThe challenge this time is to find the nth Fibohexaprime. The definition of a Fibohexaprime is as following: We first observe a list with Fibonacci numbers: N | Fibonacci number 1 | 1 2 | 1 3 | 2 4 | 3 5 | 5 6 | 8 7 | 13 8 | 21 9 | 34 10 | 55 11 | 89 12 | 144 13 | 233 14 ...

Q: Cofactor Matrices

FatalizeThe cofactor matrix is the transpose of the Adjugate Matrix. The elements of this matrix are the cofactors of the original matrix. The cofactor (i.e. the element of the cofactor matrix at row i and column j) is the determinant of the submatrix formed by deleting the ith row and jth column from ...

Q: Which finite abelian group is this?

MaurisDescription Write a function f(m, G) that accepts as its arguments a mapping m, and a set/list of distinct, non-negative integers G. m should map pairs of integers in G to new integers in G. (G, m) is guaranteed to form a finite abelian group, but any element of G may be the identity. There is...

@Maltysen Oh no, that was chaos theory back there

Q: Graph Florets of a Flower

quartataTake a look at this chamomile flower: Pretty, isn't it? Well, what if I told you that this wasn't actually one flower? A lot of flowers (including sunflowers, chamomiles, daisies and others) actually consist of many very small flowers (the black dots on sunflowers) on a flower head. These min...

See? Math.
@FlagAsSpam 4D enough! What are you people?!?!
Some one just down voted the kitten command ;(
Happens
@quartata I'd rather not.
23:10
Is anybody in Christmas yet?
@Calvin'sHobbies Nope.
@Calvin'sHobbies I'm in my living room
@AlexA. What is unusual is that it is the first down vote after 47 upvotes.
50 min for UTC!!
Actually, strike that. It's Christmas where @Sherlock9 lives
23:11
Jakarta?
@quartata Complex analysis, calculus, complex trigonometry, chaos theory, quantum mechanics, relativity, thermal dynamics, and HISTORY
Might already be the 26th there
@SimpleArt We've got most of that.
I strongly strongly dislike history
Here lemme find you something
23:11
XD
@Calvin'sHobbies It's 1:11 am here
Who got snowed on?

Q: Play the Chaos Game

Martin BüttnerThe Chaos Game is a simple method to generate fractals. Given a starting point, a length ratio r and a set of 2D points, repeatedly do the following: From your set of points, pick one at random (uniformly). Average that point and the last drawn point (or the starting point) using r and 1 - r as...

Something chaos theory-ish
I have to go be afk for about, say, 30 minutes, give or take a few. Ta Ta for now
Oh goodness
Please no
Also no snow and 5°C in Finland
23:12
Yas come to us
It's 100ºC where Doorknob is right now
yesss
You know plenty of people here golf in MATLAB
And Mathematica
You can be one of us
23:13
thanks
@AlexA. Seeing as I am not dead, I presume this is not the case
@Doorknob冰 Metal doesn't melt at 212F.
@SimpleArt one of us one of us one of us
he might be a plastic doorknob
23:15
@SimpleArt I don't see you programming 4D access to arrays.
@AlexA. He might me made of gallium
He might be a knob made of doors

He is the most knobby man in the world.
My internet went out right after I said one of us
Fun times
23:19
Our highest voted code bowling question has a score of 39

@AlexA. Link?
That seems high
@quartata I found it via SEDE so all I see is number and I'm bored of SQL atm
... why would you do that via SEDE?
There's a "sort by votes," you know
Mini-challenge: Hug your family and such.
2
23:20
oh
@Calvin'sHobbies I can't until tomorrow ._.
@Calvin'sHobbies Ew.
That's a big challenge.
Write it up formally, maybe I'll consider it.
@Calvin'sHobbies pl, 15 bytes
What is family?
Online interpreter is broken :/
23:21
@Doorknob冰 D: SEDE said MAX(Score) is 39 D: D: D:
y hav u 4saken me
yesterday, by Alex A.
SEDE only updates about once a week if I'm not mistaken
Why would anyone upvote that since last week D:
@FlagAsSpam Family family = new Family(); //if only it was this easy
23:27
@Calvin'sHobbies Why not use JavaScript?
window.family = new Family();
function Family() {
    this.family = new Family();
}
We're doomed.
My family has moral objections to JavaScript.
2
@Calvin'sHobbies redundant type qualifier, use var family = new Family();. :P
public class Family implements Child {
    private int cheer = 0;
    public void hug() {
        ++cheer++;
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Family family = new Family();
        family.hug();
    }
    @Override
    public void makeChild() {
       this.concieve("1".equals(""+(int)(Math.random()*2)));
    }
}
... is there any reason to do all that float-int-string casting rigmarole in makeChild()? O_o
@Doorknob冰 Shorthand random bool.
23:31
That's how babies are made
Gender. c:
... I'm pretty sure Math.random()<0.5 is shorter
@Doorknob冰 But mine's fancier.
-1 not enough jquery
And in any case, I don't see why you would cast an int to a string and compare it to a string instead of ... just comparing it to an int

A: Binary Run-Length Encoding

quartataStuck, 5 bytes soT]y Takes a binary string as input and outputs an array. Explanation soT]y s get input string o run-level encoding T zip ] flatten y pops the data values off

almost beat Pyth :/
@Doorknob冰 I FELT LIKE IT, OKAY? XD
@Calvin'sHobbies One does not simply base a family on JS.
What is .0 even?

A: How many elves does Santa need to deliver gifts?

user81655JavaScript (ES6), 52 bytes s=>eval(s.replace(/\D|$/g,m=>`.0*${m=="*"?3:2}+`)+0) Explanation Converts the input into a valid JavaScript statement. Replaces all * with .0*3+ and all other (non-digit) symbols with .0*2+. For example 8*9+*10 becomes 8.0*3+9.0*2+.0*3+10. Finally it appends .0*2 to...

... zero?
23:35
But whyyyy?
Well, what else would it be?
If it's just zero, why is the decimal point needed then?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Why not just write 0?
Because n0 is n * 10, not n
Challenge idea: has this been done? Make a tree data structure from info about number of children.
23:38
closed as unclear what you're asking.
Oh shit joke samurai'd
it's not ninja'd if you noticed that you got ninja'd before posting
The rain was oppressing us. That oppression is lifting. — Hot Licks 3 hours ago
@MartinBüttner No one said anything about ninjas
@MartinBüttner replying to me? i was being vague in hopes someone would think of anything that sounds even remotely similar and link it
23:40
@quintopia "info about number of children" could be anything. including the full tree data structure.
There was this

Q: Family Tree Solver

Martin BüttnerThis is one of several challenges left for the community by Calvin's Hobbies. Take a "family tree describing" file with lines of the form: [ID] [mother ID] [father ID] [gender] [full name] such as this which describes the first family tree at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cousin: 1 ? ? M Adam...

...no autobox?
> autobox
It's called onebox
23:42
Dammit.
It has to be the only thing in the message for it to work
@Calvin'sHobbies that was my first association as well, but I assumed "children" was just referring to child nodes in an abstract tree
"autoboxed" that for you
I think the problem was https
wait no
@AlexA. it was
23:43
@Calvin'sHobbies Weird
https doesn't onebox
Alex's is https too
@MartinBüttner I don't think so, I always paste them that way
I think
I literally copied Calvin's link
Okay that's bizarre
23:44
YACBDBTNB

nope
I'll leave you guys to sorting out that acronym
goodnight
Goodnight!
night
@MartinBüttner You all can't bear dudes being the nineteenth byte
23:45
@MartinBüttner hmmm... TNB == The Nineteenth Byte
@Doorknob冰 How does this not have a prolog answer?
'night
You Are Currently == YAC?
(Yoda-style equality ftw)
I do know YACPDB
Checking if ONEboxing works in quotes.
jjjjjjghkjsdhgjhsdkjghsdjkhgjsgsd
23:47
@Cal I made your first one onebox by editing it, making no changes, and pressing enter
> one onebox
one the noun, onebox the verb
deal widdit
yes, let's post the same question a thousand times
:26419304 Fascinating.
I'm experimenting...
23:49
Dammit.
I was kinda hoping that it would still one box even after removal. :D
@quartata Whatever came with Ubuntu. Lemme check.
This is perl 5, version 18, subversion 2 (v5.18.2) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
(with 41 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
hello perl, what happened to Dennis?
Ralph
Dennis died and was replaced with a terrible language.
23:51
@FlagAsSpam ಠ_ಠ
@Dennis I think you mean:
ಠ_ಠ
ಠ_ಠ =/= ಠ_ಠ ?
ಠ_ಠ ≠ ಠ_ಠ
Look carefully.
One is code formatted
23:53
The one on the right is thicker at small zooms.
Okay here's the challenge I'm thinking of making.
Take this string:
02021102[020202[02020
and output this schematic:
@FlagAsSpam Nice try.
       2
   2          2
 2  1       2      2
0 0  1    2  0   2  0
      0  0 0    0 0
input();print('       2
   2          2
 2  1       2      2
0 0  1    2  0   2  0
      0  0 0    0 0')
the numbers tell how many children
23:54
shhh there are no such things as standard loopholes
4
I wasn't lying.
and the [ means "don't attach the next thing here"
@quintopia The top thing is a 2. The first char in your string is a 0. Do not comprehend
@Doorknob冰 all the numbers stay in the same column. you just have to figure out their level
Oh, it's left to right?
23:57
and only 0,1,and 2 are allowed
So it's a binary tree?
best live performance by a singer?
@FlagAsSpam Your eyes are deceiving you.
𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭
23:59
@Doorknob冰 an incomplete binary tree, yes
Incomplete? Why?
@LegionMammal978 That is one squeaky clean avatar.
