@AlexA. fixed the problems
idk what to do about PEP8 complaining about line length though
Insert line breaks?
Not indiscriminately, though.
Line breaks anywhere
Just anywhere
okay
Everywhere
All over the place
100 years
100 years Rick and Morty

100 years rickroll'd.
BREAKING NEWS: Alex A. has officially lost his sanity (although it is questionable whether he had it in the first place).
Oh, hay, I can star again. \o/
@quartata That's breaking news?
@VoteToClose You couldn't star before?
@ӍѲꝆΛҐӍΛПҒЦꝆ Star limiting issues. D:
00:07
@AlexA. fixed, but it looks horrible now
@quartata ಠ_ಠ
@somebody hahaha
Did you submit a new PR?
also, how often does SE data explorer update?
Once a week
you might want to add a warning do never use it for stackoverflow
ever
00:11
hahahaha
oh wait
i can fix the line lengths better
Yeah, the API quota will be shot before you get 2 weeks worth of questions
looks much better now
Time for some sequence guessing... using OEIS is cheating: 1,0,6,0,1072,...
00:22
1, 0, 2*3, 0, 16*67
has no idea
@MartinBüttner The Martin numbers
definitely not
Gonna need more terms.
001, 000, 110, 000, 010000110000
00:23
Duodecimal: [ "1", "0", "6", "0", "754" ]
almost binary concatenation
or something
B13: [ "1", "0", "6", "0", "646" ] - begins and end with 6.
@El'endiaStarman 0,4638576
The next term is -1 and you can't prove me wrong. :P
number of candies I ate per minute
00:25
:O
they're pretty good :)
@El'endiaStarman 0,467260456608
Factorization of 4638576: 2^4 * 3 * 41 * 2357
hmm, that last term seems a litle high though
1,0,6,0,1072,0,4638576,0,467260456608
00:27
Factorization of 467260456608: 2^5 * 3^2 * 11 * 239 * 617129
The lack of obvious patterns (other than the 0s) reminds me a lot of my CA-derived sequence.
is tempted to use OEIS
I see something… but it's not consistent
@MartinBüttner Is the sequence actually on OEIS, though?
Balanced ternary: [ "1", "0", "1T0", "0", "1111T01", "0", "100T1TT000T1010", "0", "100T101T01T0TT0TT0100" ]
00:30
order of 10^: 0, 0, 3, 6, 11
order of 2: [ 0, 0, 2, 0, 10, 0, 22, 0, 38 ]
it's a subsequence of this: 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 2, 6, 0, 1, 0, 14, 0, 0, 1, 4, 37, 154, 1072, 0, 1, 0, 92, 0, 5320, 0
Some wacky permutation problem?
Huh, interesting.
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ hmmm, in a way, I guess... not that wacky though
00:33
More terms?
I can't give you more from the supersequence unfortunately. that one doesn't seem to be in OEIS and it grows similarly fast.
ah wait, a few more are possible
Oh well. Here's some stuff:
Every second element log 2 floored and divided by the next: 0, 0.2, 0.45454545454545453, 0.5789473684210527
^ with each term subbed by the next: -0.2, -0.2545454545454545, -0.12440191387559812
0, 1, 8, 236, 1696, 32675, 301384, 4638576
finds it on OEIS
has no idea what that means
00:42
for those who haven't looked it up yet, it might help to figure out where in the longer sequence the first one occurs as a subsequence

Q: Repair the ranges

DoorknobGiven an input of a list of positive integers with some replaced with 0, output the list with the missing numbers that were changed to 0 replaced. Characteristics of the input list: The list will always have a length of at least 2. Let us define the input list as a and the "original list" (tha...

well I'm going to bed, so I'll just reveal (because I'd definitely have to give a few more hints for it to be possible to figure out the sequence). the first one I mentioned is number of Hamiltonian cycles in an NxN grid graph (so some sort of "permutation problem" was pretty close). the longer one is the flattened triangle of MxN grid graphs.
(I figured with the supersequence people might be able to figure out that that one's a triangle, so might have to do with grids; plus it looks like combinatorics from the fast growth; and then look into what doesn't work on the grids that give 0)
anyway...
goodnight
@Downgoat Test your answers before posting them (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

@Doorknob I did but only on a couple simple cases :/
00:58
There's these neat things in the question called "test cases." I wonder why I put them there
huh, it was just that I forgot to add parenthesis...
b-(i-c)==b+c-i, no?
@Neil it does, thanks
actually, wouldn't ?++b:--b work?
@Neil :/ yes it would, that is smart!
01:12
still slightly disappointed that I didn't realise that first
@Downgoat voat.co
is that literally reddit
with... a different name? O_o
in c#
01:18
> Hey... you look like that other site!
> All cars have four wheels. Does that mean that every car is the same?
From the "about" section of the site
My brother argues "yes", all cars are the same ._.
Voat is a pretty terrible site, IMHO.
So you would... downvoat it? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
"C'mon reddit/codegolf! Downvotes?"
I think we're going to have to ban @AlexA. from Lennying
01:23
@Doorknob ( ͡( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ͜ʖ ͡( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))
... case in point :P
Alex is obviously not very good at Lennying.
define good
There should be an Alex emoticon
I guess that's >:U
@Doorknob >:I
( ͜ಠ ͡ʖ ͜ಠ)

does anyone know how to assign something to a variable in pyth? if so, please tell me
^ I agree. Someone knows.
That someone is not me. :P
01:27
@Downgoat =
=<var><any>
If you only need to assign to it once you can use J
@quartata ok
What's this for?
Pyth
@quartata do you also happen to know how to increment a variable?
01:29
^
h increments a value
So =<var>h<var>
Can't do that with J though.
J is essentially a one time thing.
J<value> assigns it to J, and J gets it back afterwards
"h" stands for hincrement, with a silent "h"
@PhiNotPi No, h stands for head.
But close
Are you trying to solve my ranges challenge? Because if so, that's literally the most verbose way you can do it
@quartata it was a joke
yolk
01:30
@Doorknob oh...
[featured] needed to be re-added to the sandbox
no it doesn't
well it did
Featured questions literally take an hour to update
[citation-needed]
Also still 10.6 qpd
Well whatever it is it's super slow
@Doorknob wooot
01:34
@Doorknob \o/
@quartata jolf is better and does all things
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ can the buttons on jolfs interpreter be made biggger?
01:40
@Downgoat ...not sure if being facetious...
Goatrolling
@Downgoat Yeah.
@Downgoat o_O which browser do you use?!
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Safari 9.0.1
01:41
I should use that for the Upgoat Downgoat challenge...
@Downgoat At least upgrade to 9.0.3. It's so much better, you literally can't tell the difference.
@AlexA. I don't have time to update the entire OS just for a Safari update
Why would you need to upgrade the OS for a Safari update? o_O
01:43
SafariOS
@AlexA. because Safari updates are bundled with OS updates
@Downgoat Update != upgrade
afaik
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ There's a (good) reason for why variables work like that in Pyth
Even on my 2011 MBP, the system updates go pretty quickly.
01:45
Although I do admit increment/decrement last used variable is really useful (pl has it)
@quartata They work like that in Jolf too. I just have more options.
FGITW opportunity incoming
0sh1t
!!
pls
Print nxn box?
wait jolf has a built-in for this
just rickrolled myself lmao
01:50
@Calvin'sHobbies You FGITW'd us all
what are you trying to do?
Literally become Rick Astley
@AlexA. I'm discovered an unbeatable way to do it ;)
Speedwise at least...
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ ,a is ASCII Art box right?
I was about to say, you posted that question for the sole purpose of showing off your language? :P
01:51
@quartata Yeah. What about it?
@Calvin'sHobbies You just now discovered the "share your knowledge, Q&A style" button?
I think it solves this challenge
But I can't remember how it works

Q: Print N Squared

Calvin's HobbiesWrite a program or function that takes in a non-negative integer N from stdin or as a function argument. It must print or return a string of a hollow ASCII-art square whose sides are each made with N copies of the number N. Specifically: If N is 0, no copies of N are used, so there should be no...

@AlexA. No, I always knew about it, just don't think I've used it before
Can you help me out with this
What are the "options" for ,a?
01:52
You want me to help you gain rep? :/
No...
But the documentation for ,a is vague
And I thought you weren't worried about me catching up ;)
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Do you intentionally not upvote any quartata stuff?
@Calvin'sHobbies No, actually.
I only not upvote stuff that's boring.
@quartata I guess I can help ya.
I can't even find where ,a is in the docs lmao
Oh here it is
OK, so what is the third argument for ,a?
It isn't yet idt
01:55
It's there (kinda)
> ,a - draws a box, given width, height, and options, in a string, abcd, where a is the corner, b is the horizontal strut, c is the vertical strut, and d is the fill character.
Oh.
Yeah, it doesn't automatically solve the challenge.
I didn't think it did
So it's 4 parameters?
Array, number, number, string
The run button on the Jolf interpreter isn't working....
01:57
Chrome
Chrome, prob-
If I had hit Enter after typing "Chrome", I might've ninja'd him... :P
I'll just do FF for now
Works in FF.
