@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 not recursive
@AlexA. 4 space indentation is best indentation :D
@Upgoat heathen
everyone knows pi indentation is best
first 3 spaces
then 1 space
then 4 spaces
then 1 space
then 5 spaces
9 spaces, etc...
brb making challenge
@Upgoat someone actually do this
@orlp are you gonna sandbox it or may I :3
\o/ Passed build #100 on Cheddar
@Upgoat go ahead
22:18
:D
22:29
@Doorknob What's the best printable ascii character in you opinion?
@HelkaHomba didn't you hold a poll bout this before?
I'm gonna go with space, if only because it's the most universal.
monring
@Doorknob it's the most economical too
22:39
@HelkaHomba it's definitely the squiggly. ~
22:51
^
hm
either |, ~, or `.
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I'm saying <code>`</code>
`
ooh thanks
I don't think you need anything special if there's only one `
22:54
what about a monospace `?
:P
Oh, yes that looks much different....
@HelkaHomba This reminds me, who is the keeper of the time capsule?
22:57
@PhiNotPi o/
okay
At this point we might as well just wait until the end of the year. :P
@Maltysen probably
@PhiNotPi Dk. How old is that now?
@Doorknob what was your plan though?
@HelkaHomba It started at the beginning of the year
23:00
I think the plan was to make a challenge where your program had to use the characters submitted.
With a language that was made in 2016 I thought
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan I like that choice better than space
(and wouldn't iron imbued eggs be red @DrGreenEggsandIronMan?)
Hmm, good question.
oh hey, I came up with the spec for a new language last night, so yay. I haven't decided whether it'll just transpile to JS yet though
23:03
I don't think iron is necessarily red.
Somewhat annoyingly 05AB1E was made in Dec 21 2015
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan why not use rust?
@quartata Correct
@Quill pls send teh specz?
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ isnt ready yet. although I can say it basically won't be that useful. a popcon style language
23:06
On puzzling can you ask mathy questions that you aren't sure have answers and/or are too lazy to look for them yourself?
@Quill okay
@HelkaHomba yes
iirc you don't need to know the answer
Turn it into a puzzle though. If it's deemed "straight" math it'll likely be closed.
Nevermind, there is no solution
What was the question?
(Don't post the answer I wanna figure it out)
23:15
@Geobits You are in a labyrinth, and when you reach the end of it, you see a guard. when you go up to the guard he asks you a question that you need to answer correctly to escape alive, "evaluate the integral of x^2..." ;P
Hmm... is there a way I can tell my C compiler not to use a register in a procedure? I'm writing an assembly function to use in a C program but I don't think I can do this without clobbering a register
5 mins ago, by Helka Homba
Nevermind, there is no solution
Maybe I should just use inline asm
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I meant I want to prove that there is no solution.
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan Given a triangle of decimal digits, can each of them be the sum of their two neighbors mod 10 in any direction? Oops. You can figure it out for yourself
e.g.

 a
b c

or

  a
 b c
d e f

a + b = c (mod 10)
b + c = a (mod 10)
a + c = b (mod 10)
d + b = e (mod 10)
e + f = c (mod 10)
etc.
Right now I'm writing a compiler for the GoL computer.
Our circuit simulator is in development, so we've been killing time by planning out our architecture, assembly language, and higher-level language.
@HelkaHomba Yes. They're all 0
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan or 5 5 0 for the small case
Why'd you say there is no solution?
23:25
My program wasn't searching for 0's at first
Do we have a challenge about summing the digits in a list down into a triangle?
like
9 2 4 5 3 2 2
 1 6 9 8 5 2
  7 5 7 3 7
   2 2 0 0
    4 2 0
     6 2
      8
except that's wrong because 2 + 2 != 2 :I
but you get the idea
@HelkaHomba are you modding 10?
yeah
just since multidigits would get messy
23:40
j.e+*dkjdbP.umesd,Vt
20 bytes, pyth
@Maltysen mesd,Vt can be eM+Vt, right?
@Doorknob *facepalm*
@Maltysen It wasn't even a mini-challenge :P

Q: Simplify a Date

jmasterxThis is similar to simplifying fractions, but with Dates! The input of your program must be of the form mm/dd For example 3/4 //March 4 12/15 //December 15 1/1 // January 1 We assume that the input will be valid such that the months have these numbers of days in them: January 31 February 28 ...

@NewMainPosts That was really fast
@NewMainPosts is it just me or is NMP's avatar messed up: chat.stackexchange.com/users/-363
@HelkaHomba It doesn't show up on that page, but it does in chat.
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ wtaf
23:51
I spend this whole time trying in vain to understand that.
I'm playing on the PPCG mc server, bye!
I am good at obfuscation
#understatement
@Maltysen You're too fast :P
@Doorknob i'm telling you, i actually use pyth for normal things, because its so fast
the joke about programming time vs execution time and keystrokes is actually becoming true
Someone doesn't like code-golf languages... (see downvotes)

Q: Pseudo Factorial

Tony RuthThere is a rather curious number which shows up sometimes in math problems or riddles. The pseudofactorial(N) is the least-common-multiple of the numbers 1 through N. For instance pseudofactorial(7) = 3 * 4 * 5 * 7, which is the same as 7! except that 2 and 6 have been removed because they are c...
