@EMBLEM Mod on another site here. I appreciate that you dislike certain types of answers, but downvoting all of a type does come across as a little unfair to users who have taken the time to make something. In addition, be careful - downvoting all of one type of post is considered problematic behaviour, which can get you in some hot water. — ArtOfCode 7 secs ago
 
@QPaysTaxes Use C, it's 3 bytes shorter than Ruby
 
@ArtOfCode thanks
 
np
 
@QPaysTaxes you're going to downstar a joke ಠ_ಠ
 
@EMBLEM post to meta site then. it has 30K character limit. — Optimizer 3 mins ago
hahaha
 
10:07 PM
Darnit! XD
^^^
 
@Maltysen @Optimizer you should of also linked to pastebin. That has an even higher char limit
 
or formatting.
how can he bold highlight his hate?
 
CAPS LOCK
 
@QPaysTaxes only for lambdas. otherwise the default return is None
 
@QPaysTaxes NO
 
10:11 PM
@ArtOfCode Chathuahua: PLEASE STOP SCREAMING, IT IS VERY ANNOYING!
 
@Downgoat SILLY BOT WHY
 
@ArtOfCode DO IT NOW!!!11!!ELEVEN!!MOD ABUSE!!!
 
@ArtOfCode Chathuahua: PLEASE CALM DOWN
 
wth is going on?
 
@ArtOfCode eleven pls
 
10:13 PM
@Optimizer -1 not enough caps lock

Q: Polynomialception

flawrGiven two polynomials f,g of arbitrary degree over the integers, your program/function should evaluate the first polynomial in the second polynomial. f(g(x)) (a.k.a. the composition (fog)(x) of the two polynomials) Details Builtins are allowed. You can assume any reasonable formatting as input/...

 
@Downgoat Ask the author.
 
@KennyLau the author didn't delete it, it was @Dennis
 
10:19 PM
I see.
 
@QPaysTaxes because you don't have enough rep to see deleted posts
 
@Downgoat Probably because it was posted in the sandbox after.
 
@QPaysTaxes ^
@QPaysTaxes depends on your language
If a languages used, for example a windows newline \r\n that would be two. If it works with \n or takes a 1-byte character for newline it counts as one byte
 
That's one
 
@QPaysTaxes one
 
10:25 PM
@QPaysTaxes If the program works with it, it's fine.
e.g. a batch file still works with \n
 
@Downgoat I've never heard of a language that explicitly wants \r\n where \n is not enough.
 
@flawr re-worded that better
 
@QPaysTaxes How much do you pay for using str.chars?
 
@QPaysTaxes is .split("") shorter?
no it isn't :(
.scan /./?
no :(
 
@QPaysTaxes .chars is the shortest way.
 
10:29 PM
@QPaysTaxes you usually can't get shorter than a built-in
 
wait what no how — Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ 1 min ago
I literally can't get my code any shorter
 
Try to decipher the following Wolfram Mathematica ® program:
Graphics[{Hue@#,Disk[{0,0},{1,1},a=2Pi{##}],Black,Text[ToString@Round[100(#2-#)]<>"%",5Through@{Cos,Sin}@Mean@a/4]}&@@@Partition[Accumulate[#/Tr@#]~Prepend~0,2,1]]&
 
oi
jolf is shorter, jolf can emulate javascript, so javascript is better
 
I love how that guy downvoted the Retina answer even though it isn't a golfing language
 
^
I noticed that too XD
 
10:33 PM
^^
 
@QPaysTaxes No. It's kinda like sed on steroids.
 
It's really just regex with some cooler features
and that ^^ with that v
 
@quartata s/sed/regex/
 
@QPaysTaxes I wouldn't call that proud as much as competitive ;)
Bai!
TBH, that was probably my favorite javascript golf.
@Downgoat I'm not leaving XD

then why did you say bai???

@QPaysTaxes bai!
 
@Downgoat bye!
 
WTF perl tied with jolf

@Optimizer ಠ_ಠ you spelled bai wrong

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ it's because perl is like retina. It has like regex operators
 
@Downgoat but it beats retina XD
 
10:41 PM
wat
well the retina answer doesn't look very well golfed
 
true
I was going to try to golf my jolf answer, but I think it's okay as it is

@Optimizer If I did, nobody would agree with me. Someone would post a brilliant essay on why golfing languages are good and fun and useful and I would end up downvoted, humiliated, and eternally linked to as a reference for others like me who might disagree. — EMBLEM 37 mins ago
I feel sorry for EMBLEM :(
 
You know, I'm really not sure why Objective-C gets so much shit
 
because it eats a lot of food?
 
@quartata because its syntax is shit
like what's up with all the brackets
 
You can call methods with ->. It's not considered good style, but you can.
 
10:49 PM
I have nothing against Obj-C
 
My favorite part of Objective C are categories
@interface Interpreter:NSObject

@property NSMutableArray stack;

@end

@interface Interpreter (StackManipulationCommands)

-(id) pop;
-(void) push: (id) obj;
-(void) swap;
-(void) rotate;
-(void) duplicate;

@end

@interface Interpreter (MathCommands)

-(void) add: (double) x to: (double) y;
-(void) subtract: (double) x to: (double) y;
-(void) multiply: (double) x to: (double) y;
-(void) divide: (double) x to: (double) y;

@end
^ Categories let you split up parts of the class into separate interface/implementation sections
You can use it to add to existing classes too
 
@quartata sounds cool, but not as cool as babel :P
 
LegionMammal978 is no longer AFK.

Can someone use Reng on a challenge?
 
sure, docs?

Q: Count up forever

vrwimWrite a program that counts up forever, starting from one. Rules: Your program must log to STDOUT or an acceptable alternative, if STDOUT is not available. Your program must be a full, runnable program, and not a function or snippet. Your program must output each number with a separating chara...

^ that's an easy challenge
 
11:06 PM
Does Reng use bigints?
 
No, but neither does MC
:P
 
MC answer is invalid...
 
oh right
Reng is basically ><>

Q: Greatest Common Divisor

Mike ShlantaYour task is to compute the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two given integers in as few bytes of code as possible. You may write a program or function, taking input and returning output via any of our accepted standard methods (including STDIN/STDOUT, function parameters/return values, command...

Q: m-nomial coefficient

Kenny LauWhile binomial coefficient is the coefficient of (1+x)**n, m-nomial coefficient is the coefficient of (1+x+x**2+...+x**(m-1))**n. For example, m(3,5,6) is the coefficient of x**5 in the expansion of (1+x+x**2)**6. Write a program/function that takes 3 numbers as input and outputs the correspond...

 
@Downgoat How goes it?
 
All right, I think I got all the C++ parts together. crosses fingers
 
My in-browser implementation of Perl
 
11:44 PM
Although right now all it does is evaluate $a = 1 when it receives a message :P
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ It's just a Pepper module that hooks into libperl.
 
I have no idea what that means ^_^
 
Now I have to write the JS part. Much less fun
(Not like I really enjoy doing things in C++)
 
var listen = document.getElementById("listener");

listen.addEventListener("load", moduleDidLoad, true);
listen.addEventListener("message", handleMessage, true);

function handleMessage(message) {
  console.log(message);
}

function moduleDidLoad() {
  document.getElementById("akoya").postMessage("gogogo");
}
Can you tell me if this is syntactically correct JS
 
uh
I've never seen .postMessage before
 
11:54 PM
It's a method from Pepper
 
Ignoring functions you don't know, does this look like it does something
 
It should , yeah.
 
ok
