The Nineteenth Byte

quartata

02:00

OK I figured out how ,a works I think

Oh, rats.

It won't work for >=10

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

duh

l(number) is the length of that number in digits if that helps.

quartata

OK. I think I can make this work then.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Show me what you have.

quartata

enumerate length range, map then ,a entire number with horizontal and vertical strut digit and corner index

Assuming I'm understanding how corner works (probably not)

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Corner is the edges.

quartata

02:06

Oh.

It's the character for the corner?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Yup!

quartata

I was trying to make it nest the boxes

Like make one box for each digit

Actually that won't work

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

o_o

quartata

OK, better idea.

Just make the box out of .s and replace . with the number using a regex

That should work.

Lowercase rho, right?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Yup!

oooh time to Pyth fgitw Calvin's challenge

Boom

Seriously takes the lead with 32 bytes

Calvin's Hobbies

@Mego subvertly changes to pop-con

(is subvertly even a word?)

Alex A.

this isn't google

somebody

@AlexA. Full Definition of subvert. 1 : to overturn or overthrow from the foundation : ruin. 2 : to pervert or corrupt by an undermining of morals, allegiance, or faith.

Alex A.

02:14

Sure, subvert is a word, but subvertly doesn't seem to be.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Calvin'sHobbies furtively?

El'endia Starman

Aaaand Minkolang comes in at second place, with 49 bytes! So far.

Alex A.

Julia's in second to last ._.

It's always nice when my solutions are 0.3-compatible because that means I get to have a link for trying online.

The only place that has Julia executable online with permalinks and no registration is still on 0.3.9. :/

Doorknob

sheesh, n=0 and n=1 absolutely murder the byte count for my Pyth solution

@El'endiaStarman yours is incorrect for 0 and 1

El'endia Starman

aw crap, mine doesn't work for 1

>_<

Doorknob

02:20

@Downgoat yours is also incorrect for 0 and 1

quartata

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ er... one last inane question

How do you convert a number to a string

Doorknob

@AlexA. yours looks incorrect for 0 and 1 but I don't have Julia

Alex A.

Do pandas like to eat at Panda Express?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

+E(n) I think

Gimme a sec

quartata

@AlexA. No.

Alex A.

02:21

@Doorknob Works. Try the try it online link.

Downgoat

@Doorknob oh fixing...

Doorknob

@AlexA. oh I looked for one but apparently I'm blind

Alex A.

@Doorknob I wouldn't have posted it had it not worked for all of the test cases ;)

El'endia Starman

Mine is also incorrect for n=2. Waaah.

Aearnus

Ugh, I finished mine, but it doesn't work with anything n>2. Back to the drawing board.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

02:22

@quartata It's either +E(thing) or b(thing)t; the latter only works when its a base ten number you want

Calvin's Hobbies

Come on you guys, here I was thinking this'd be easy in anything but Shtriped :P

Doorknob

37 bytes of Pyth :/

quartata

Dammit this one doesn't work for n>2

Doorknob

there's got to be a shorter way

Alex A.

@Calvin'sHobbies Idk, I thought it was easy. It's just not that short for Julia.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

02:23

@quartata o-o

Doorknob

n=0 and n=1 wastes 11 bytes

quartata

Throws an error (understandably)

non-negative repeat count

Alex A.

@El'endiaStarman You should delete while fixing

Calvin's Hobbies

@AlexA. I guess golfing-compulsion makes it harder

Alex A.

@Doorknob It wasn't there when I first posted the answer. I usually add try links once I figure out whether it works in the one online interpreter with permalinks, which has an old version of Julia. In this case the code is 0.3-compatible.

Doorknob

02:27

WOOHOO 30 bytes

ha @Mego :P

(waiting for the grace period to expire before editing so that the previous version appears in the history...)

Alex A.

Btw @Doorknob, why don't you have Julia yet? >:U

Doorknob

because I'm lazy

quartata

Does replace in JS ignore whitespace or something?

It seems to replacing the whitespace in the center with the number which is annoying

Alex A.

@Doorknob Is your system 32- or 64-bit?

Doorknob

why? (64)

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

02:29

@quartata show me the code?

Doorknob

95-byte-values-Pyth is now beating 256-byte-values Seriously ;)

quartata

ρ,axx"... "'.+Ex

Doorknob

@AlexA. ew launchpad

quartata

This should actually beat all the answers once I'm done :P The only edge case is n=1.

Calvin's Hobbies

@AlexA. You'd let us share Julia?

Alex A.

02:29

@Doorknob Okay don't click that, gimma a sec

quartata

I can let it die on n=0.

Alex A.

@Doorknob click this

Doorknob

ew not using package managers

Alex A.

>:U

Calvin's Hobbies

doorknob-doesnt-like-anything

Alex A.

02:31

@Calvin'sHobbies Of course not

Doorknob

@AlexA. seriously who manually installs from tarballs

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Quartata rho uses regex. . means anything.

somebody

@Doorknob can't you just go sudo apt-get install julia/ai julia?

quartata

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Oh I'm retarded

Alex A.

@Doorknob People who don't like Launchpad, I guess.

Doorknob

02:31

@somebody I don't have sudo. But similar, yes

@AlexA. ಠ_ಠ

Alex A.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've never done either

All of the Linux software I have on my Ubuntu VM I got from the package manager thingamabob.

somebody

@Doorknob it isn't in the main repository? or you don't like launchpad at all?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@quartata Use a char like #.

quartata

Yeah I changed it to a

Alex A.

@somebody It's available via apt-get?

Doorknob

02:33

@somebody of course it's in the main repository, or at least I would assume so

llama@llama:~$ apt show julia
Package: julia
Version: 0.4.3-1+b1

Alex A.

Oh

Get that

Don't get Juno though, it's crap

somebody

@Doorknob ?

Doorknob

@somebody what "?"?

somebody

click the arrow

Doorknob

I did

Downgoat

02:36

if you find a picture of an upgoat or a downgoat please submit it here I am having trouble finding good test cases for the third batch of test cases

Doorknob

@quartata yours fails for input 10

quartata

I already deleted it.

Jeez

Doorknob

oh ninja'd

Alex A.

@Doorknob Did you apt-get Julia yet?

Doorknob

llama@llama:~$ apt-get julia
E: Invalid operation julia

Alex A.

02:39

Note how Julia is not part of the code formatting

Doorknob

llama@llama:~$ Note how Julia is not part of the code formatting
zsh: command not found: Note

quartata

OK I think I know how to fix it

Alex A.

@Doorknob ಠ_ಠ

Doorknob

I somehow beat MATL too, but knowing Luis, he'll probably golf off like 10 bytes tomorrow

Anonymous

@Doorknob Oh btw I found a way to golf off a few bytes

Doorknob

02:43

ಠ_ಠ

somebody

@Doorknob sudo apt-get install julia

Doorknob

zsh: command not found: sudo

Alex A.

13 mins ago, by Doorknob

@somebody I don't have sudo. But similar, yes

somebody

hmm

@Doorknob apt-get download julia

Alex A.

@somebody What do you do professionally, if anything?

Doorknob

02:47

@somebody is apt-get download even a thing

somebody

yes

@AlexA. i'm in school

@Doorknob yes

but you need to sudo dpkg afterwards :(

Doorknob

ok well I've never used it

Aearnus

ugh, using ruby, I can't quite get this down past 107 bytes.

somebody

@AlexA. I procrastinate professionally I guess

Doorknob

I've been staring at it for 10 minutes and I can't figure out how to make Pyth shorter

Alex A.

02:49

@somebody Oh nice. University?

somebody

high school, grade 12

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

cool!

high school is fun but hard

somebody

idk about fun, and idk about hard?

quartata

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I got it working but it is 31 bytes :/

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Assigning space to a variable doesn't help

I tried

Doorknob

aaarrrghhh help I'm stuck in 3* byte land

Man this is the worst time to find a bug in my interpreter

quartata

WHAT

Wait what did I miss

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Implicit output, you can take input as a string.

quartata

Right...

Ohhhh

The alert was there from a previous version

Er. Thanks.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

02:54

No problem!

quartata

Well, winning by two bytes.

Doorknob

I really feel like there's a shorter way to do -lJ*2lK but I can't find it

El'endia Starman

Alright, my solution works now!

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@quartata That's 27 bytes.

quartata

It's 28 according to your byte counter

Anonymous

02:55

If it weren't for an interpreter bug I'd have 29 :/

Anonymous

There has to be a shorter way of doing this

Anonymous

Maybe if I abuse preserve mode...

Aearnus

I was hoping I could at least contend here but jesus you guys have gotten this down low.

El'endia Starman

What'd you expect? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@quartata Another byte shaved: ?=1i1ρρ,aii+*3έ' έi' *' li

Aearnus

02:57

Not much, especially against real golfing languages :P

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

And check again

conorobrien-foxx.github.io/Jolf/…

quartata

That's weird it is now magically 27

Anonymous

Gah no the merge is still messed up!

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

*26

Aearnus

Are there any ruby gurus here? I can't figure any way to shorten this down

n=gets.to_i;s="";n.times{|i|s+=(i==0||i==n-1?"#{n}"*n : "#{n}"+" "*[(n-2)*n.to_s.length,0].max+"#{n}")+?\n};puts s

El'endia Starman

02:58

It just occurred to me that my decision to label Minkolang as a "semi-golfing language" was right on target. It takes more bytes than golfing languages, but fewer than mainstream languages.

Anonymous

fjdafkhskjgh I hate myself for messing up that merge

Doorknob

@Aearnus Make it a proc: ->n{s="";...;s}

replace length with size

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@quartata 25 bytes: conorobrien-foxx.github.io/Jolf/…

quartata

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I typed up an explanation for the 27 byte one

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ whoa whoa whoa
