@El'endiaStarman lazy language devs I guess

@Bálint bai

El'endia Starman

@Upgoat I'm just mostly bewildered by the technical aspect of debugging itself because something didn't work in itself. It's like...how is it running?

Geobits

@MartinEnder For every N-length string, there is also an N*2 length string obtained by doubling it. For every even N this gives two even strings, and for every odd N it gives one odd and one even. Clearly there are more evens >_>

El'endia Starman

@MartinEnder Can you not establish a 1-1 correspondence of some kind? You should be able to do that between two countably-infinite sets.

Q: Dot Product of Diagonals

This challenge is very simple. You are given as input a square matrix, represented in any sane way, and you have to output the dot product of the diagonals of the matrix. The diagonals in specific are the diagonal running from top-left to bottom-right and from top-right to bottom-left. Test Cas...

@Dennis I think the zero term thing comes from CS, where people think of indices as offsets. I personally totally agree, I think it seems odd to count that way for a mathematical sequence.

Q: Compute the Discrete Fourier Transform

Implement the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) for a sequence of any length. This may implemented as either a function or a program and the sequence can be given as either an argument or using standard input. The algorithm will compute a result based on standard DFT in the forward direction. The...

Q: Write a program that reverses the name of its source file

In a single file, write a program that requires no input and produces no output. When run it should reverse the name of the file it is contained in, regardless of what the name is, without altering the code or producing other lasting side effects. Any way of achieving this is fine. It only matte...

@FryAmTheEggman Context?

FryAmTheEggman

Oh uh, the Euler question. Hang on...

Helka Homba

NMP is on a roll!

FryAmTheEggman

I personally despise it, but there are people who refer to the term at index 0 as zeroth term. Independently of our thoughts on that matter, the question should be as clear as possible. Also, a few test cases to verify that the solutions are working correctly, would be very helpful. — Dennis ♦ 13 mins ago

@FryAmTheEggman Ah, I see.

@NewMainPosts Interesting choice of tie-breaker.

@NewMainPosts This one's gonna be hard for me to shorten. D:

Helka Homba

@VTCAKAVSMoACE I thought Vitsy couldn't do it?

VTCAKAVSMoACE

@HelkaHomba It can if it uses shell.

So it's really more like Vitsy + bash

Or really any of *sh

It's really cheaty.

Helka Homba

@VTCAKAVSMoACE Why "Whoops"?

VTCAKAVSMoACE

@HelkaHomba I did it wrong the first time.

@LeakyNun it's an old question and nobody's competing on it. Besides I should have used that instead yesterday and only just noticed it later.

Leaky Nun

oh ok

miles

besides, we must spread the gospel of J far and wide

@miles indeed, brother

Leaky Nun

Any anarchists here?

:p

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

anarchists to J?

or just general anarchists

Leaky Nun

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ what does that mean?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@LeakyNun people who have not witnessed the glory of functional programming

Leaky Nun

or is there anything you would like to ask an anarchist :p

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

nope :P

Leaky Nun

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ (;/~@i.@#)1 1 1 1

why does this not return a 2-d table of pairs?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

lemme take a look

(;/~@i.@#)1 1 1 1
;/~ i. # 1 1 1 1
# 1 1 1 1         NB. 4
i. # 1 1 1 1      NB. 0 1 2 3
;/~ i. # 1 1 1 1  NB. 0 1 2 3 ; 0 1 2 3

Leaky Nun

:o

Lynn

01:41

Try ;"0 instead of ;

Leaky Nun

@Lynn nice, thanks!

Lynn

Or <@,"0 if you want pairs... ahh, I’m sure there’s a shorter way to proceed from 0 1 2 3 to a table of pairs though

In non-golfy J, I feel like the natural thing for me to write is ;/ to get a list of boxes, and then ,each/~ to table-pair them. Okay, who am I kidding? There is no such thing as non-golfy J.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

:P

Ah, of course, monadic { (Catalogue) exists.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

still, each verb could have more than one char

Leaky Nun

it doesn't matter

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

.+\\(.+?).js$ why doesn't .+ match all it possibly can before moving on to the `\`?

Leaky Nun

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ which string are you applying it to?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

Leaky Nun

To add to that previous discussion, in J { can also be thought of as a cartesian product. For example, , { 3 # < 0 1 will output all 3-tuples of [0, 1].

is the extension not part of the file name?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@LeakyNun I already did that trick

@Quill no, you're not supposed to reverse it

Leaky Nun

.replace(/\\(.+?)(.js)$/,(x,y)=>[...x].reverse().join``+y

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Upgoat

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ ([,[...a]]=F.split(/\\|\.js/).reverse(),a.reverse().join``+".js")

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ not really because it just specifies what to run with. If anyone complains, just say it's babel 5

@miles It's a great pun, it really is.

@FryAmTheEggman Ah, so dastardly! America alone stands to thwart you and your evil brethen!

@LeakyNun yeah that's looks like it works, mine is ordered a bit different, but perhaps combining them might lead to something shorter

El'endia Starman

Actually, isn't there exactly one other country that uses miles?

FryAmTheEggman

Oh, I was wrong, there are two other countries: Burma and Liberia

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ golfed even more down to 79 bytes (sorry for all the pings):

is there a list of sites that have recently entered private beta?

that is mostly showing sites in pubic beta

All the freshly graduated sites are there getting their cool new design... and then there's PPCG ;_;

no, they're going to wait for the rest of the sites on Area51 to graduate before doing ours :P

@HelkaHomba I'll definitely become a zebra if you go back to Calvin's Hobbies

Quill

We need to make a list of promises that people have made if @HelkaHomba swaps back

I promise to be snarky about giving into peer pressure and changing it

Upgoat

@Quill You should totally change your name to Plumage if Helka goes back to Calvin

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

@HelkaHomba Until your most recent challenges, I wrote more challenges than you.

Upgoat

Helka Homba

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan I mean overall. I have 215

Upgoat

on a completely unrelated note, does this look ready to post:

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Parse a Formal Grammar Given a context-free grammar, and a string, parse the string using the formal grammar and output the matches for the non-terminals. Examples First line is string, following lines are grammar, last line is output, examples are separated by --- 123 n -> any of 0 1 2...

Oh. Yeah, none of us can compete.

Upgoat

@HelkaHomba they are > 1000 posts in the sandbox. I can still do this

challenge donations anyone?

@Upgoat Rules on builtins?

(or parsing libraries)

Upgoat

@Sp3000 doubt they will be any builtins

aditsu

@HelkaHomba I would, but 99% of them would get heavily downvoted and quickly closed

@Upgoat Here's a head start: Challenge to output a zig-zag increasing in magnitude

@HelkaHomba cool thanks! :)

Sp3000

Upgoat

@Sp3000 wtf mathematica, where do the builtins end

aditsu

they don't

Upgoat

though I should of realized mathematica has everything built-in when an answer used goat recognizer built-in

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

04:26

They don't. There are builtins for friggin goat recognition.

Dammit, double ninja'd.
