Hello!

@PhiNotPi +560?

wnnmaw

Anyone here good with golfing python?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

We're all pretty good at golfing in general.

Dennis

@AlexA. Sure, we wouldn't want one of them to accidentally look like an image from the 21st century. :P (Sorry, @Phi.)

Alex A.

wnnmaw

I guess I probably could have figured that out

PhiNotPi

9:09 PM

Thomas Kwa

I'm okay at Python

wnnmaw

I'm really struggling on how to multiply all the entries of a list, right now reduce(lambda a,b:round(a*b,6),l) is the best I can do, but it just feels like I should be able to do better

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@PhiNotPi You must be using some software, right? OR do you just like using uneven 0s?

Alex A.

@PhiNotPi This is my favorite so far. The fact that a +600 bounty isn't even a thing makes this all the more amazing IMO.

Thomas Kwa

@grc and @xnor are better

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

9:10 PM

@wnnmaw You can use import itertools or something, but it'd be longer.

PhiNotPi

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Does MS Paint count as software?

wnnmaw

I already have itertools imported, what would you use?

Thomas Kwa

@AlexA. I gave a bounty of 600 once.

It was divided into 200 and 400.

Alex A.

@PhiNotPi Only kind of

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@wnnmaw .Oops. Yeah, I'm not your python person :P

Alex A.

9:10 PM

@ThomasKwa Then that doesn't count :P

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@PhiNotPi o_o

Thomas Kwa

@wnnmaw I think the trick is reduce(int.__mul__,l)

No wait, you want it over floats

Alex A.

Stack Over Floats

wnnmaw

@ThomasKwa, yeah definitely need floats

PhiNotPi

Dennis

9:13 PM

@Dennis Farewell, little buddy.

reduce(float.__mul__,L,1.) works but seems a bit tacky

Alex A.

@PhiNotPi hahahaha

@Dennis Whatever happens, just know that he loves you.

El'endia Starman

@Dennis Just noticed that the +500 is transparent, not white.

PhiNotPi

9:16 PM

Yeah, it wouldn't have actually worked as an icon.

Dennis

It wouldn't? Making it transparent was the hardest part...

Thomas Kwa

f=lambda l,a=1:a and f(l[1:],a*l[0])or l is longer

Wait no

Q: What are my code golf languages?

I was curious to find out the answer count for each of the languages I golf in. Using the Stack Exchange Data Explorer, I just wrote a query to answer just that and thought other people might find it interesting. Here are my languages. Query with your user id to find out yours. While we're at ...

discussion data-explorer

Doorknob

@Rainbolt There's literally a "primarily opinion based" flag option. Don't use an "other" flag for that.

El'endia Starman

@Rainbolt Looks to me like the decliner gave custom feedback, and I would guess they wanted you to use one of the close reasons already available.

Doorknob

The former goes through the close queue; the latter can only be handled by moderators.

Rainbolt

@Doorknob So you're saying I probably typed out "Primarily opinion-based"?

El'endia Starman

I'm thinking now though that Rainbolt probably didn't have enough rep to cast a close vote?

Rainbolt

9:36 PM

I don't, and never have. That's why I am confused

Doorknob

@Rainbolt I'm saying you did. If you used the flag reason, it would be in all lowercase without a dash or period.

El'endia Starman

@Rainbolt Oh yeah, I'll bet that's what happened.

Thomas Kwa

Can someone code up a query to find the most frequently used languages in 2015? I don't know the language.

Rainbolt

@Doorknob Ah, good to know. I couldn't remember back that far.

Thomas Kwa

I'm planning to give 50 points to the best overall code in each of a few languages last year.

Rainbolt

9:36 PM

I can't believe I've never looked at my declined flags on SO before.

El'endia Starman

@ThomasKwa Hasn't this been done? A search of chat might be useful. Was it @Doorknob that did the stats on that?

Doorknob

Yes, but the data dump hasn't been updated since August last I checked

checks again

Thomas Kwa

@El'endiaStarman For 2015 answers?

Doorknob

Ooooh! New data dump on January 1! downloads

El'endia Starman

All time, probably.

Ooooh!

Finally Minkolang will be on the list! :P

Thomas Kwa

9:38 PM

Is there any way to filter by date, to count only the 2015 answers?

Doorknob

Of course; I'll just modify my script

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@El'endiaStarman And Jolf, and Vitsy, and any other language lovingly used by their maker. :P

@PhiNotPi can the avatar be a dynamic URL that reads the total available bounty rep from the SE API :P

@Rainbolt The language-name-detecting criteria on that are horrible and don't work, though.

@MartinBüttner I though all avatars had to be uploaded to SE, in which case they would be imgur URLs.

Q: Output the next kana

Japanese kana characters correspond to a single sound in the Japanese language. With the exception of ん (n), every other kana consists of a consonant part and a vowel part.
