did you install from release-0.1a or master?

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

git clone github.com/cheddar-lang/Cheddar.git

All from regular windows prompt

Upgoat

okay, you're gonna have to do it a little differently for beta testing:

@Upgoat Initial release

Codename Cheddar.

@Upgoat "Initial release" for the title.

zʏᴀʙiɴ101

@Upgoat Okay, do "Cheddar v0.1 alpha".

And put "Codename Cheddar" in the release notes.

Or vice versa.

@Upgoat Well, when you finish the release, could you come to the zyabinVI beta room?

Add Red Leicester to the list.

I should make a census of PPCG users.

Here is a census map with approximate locations of PPCG users. Ping @zyabin101 to add yours.

I only need the country and region/state/province/territory of a user to be added.

Quill

8:17 AM

use SEDE

I'd better go with scraping the Users page into my mind, then writing the location data into the map.

@EʀɪᴋᴛʜᴇGᴏʟғᴇʀ Hey Erik, was just thing about your program flags meta post - how would you count flags that don't start with a hyphen? eg interpreter program n where the n turns on numeric output.

*thinking

Eʀɪᴋ ᴛʜᴇ Gᴏʟғᴇʀ

@Sp3000 This is what I call "extra arguments". Note that the filename, or an option accepting the code are not considered "extra", but in execute program lazy, lazy is an extra argument, so +4 bytes. So the n there is +1 byte. The space is required; it does not count.

Sp3000

So... extra arguments are more than just filenames?

fourmilab.ch/codegroup

It should be the standard for publishing programs with unprintable characters on PPCG.

Situation: there are 16 competing standards.

miles

@MartinEnder x_ ±y_:=BitOr[x,x+1]±BitAnd[y,y-1]/;x<y for 39 bytes, but it terminates with the correct values except that the operator is present and unevaluated. A fix could be x_ ±y_:={x,y};x_ ±y_:=BitOr[x,x+1]±BitAnd[y,y-1]/;x<y but increases it to 53 bytes. Probably a dead end?

Martin Ender

@miles I tried this as well. You can save one byte with x_ ±y_={x,y}, but I'm not seeing anything else.

miles

@MartinEnder ah well, it was promising. Maybe a future challenge could bring those operators into play.

Martin Ender

@miles well, codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/82867/… ... and I'm sure there's quite a few older challenges where I could have used that.

miles

Oh you found a use already! I'm agree that among all the previous challenges some could probably be shortened with that too

Optimizer

@flawr see that image again

Martin Ender

@miles while writing that I found an interesting precedence quirk: a~b~c~d~e is d[b[a,c],e] (this part I knew), but a~b~+c~d~e is b[a,d[c,e]]. I can't imagine a situation where that saves bytes (because +c~d~e is the same length as d[c,e]), but I thought it's interesting ^^

It's not a TAS because you want the most compressible output, not the shortest.

@Bálint This was a pretty cool read.

It plots out some square rooms and connects their centres with L-shaped corridors

The full code so far is pretty funky

It has dungeon generation, movement, monsters, line-of-sight, combat, and death. The dungeon is infinitely deep! It’s not fun, though, at the moment.

yeah, but a rude one.

Some people don't actually get married (for various reasons).

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ this is actually really good for some weird reason

Dammit, the world is reminding me more and more that I do not own Overwatch

TimmyD

I miss video game demos

Or shareware episodes

quartata

I would buy Overwatch if I could run it

That's not really the problem

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@quartata ikr

@quartata oh okay

you timed out and didn't actually disconnect, just wondering if something went wrong

Poke

wow. stuff like this is really dumb techdirt.com/articles/20160613/06415734694/…

Oh probably closed my laptop lid

Hey, what are your recommendations for a work laptop?

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan Hardware Recommendations

But they also need more information about your "dream" work laptop.

Dell XPS series is pretty good

Ohh, there's also portablepicker.com.

Some information that would be useful (for me): goo.gl/forms/Zs8hYVgTWCi3SGdd2

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

@LegionMammal978 I can think of way too many file formats to count.

LegionMammal978

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan Then list some ;)

List of file formats

This is a list of file formats used by computers, organized by type. Filename extensions are usually noted in parentheses if they differ from the format name or abbreviation. Many operating systems do not limit filenames to a single extension shorter than 4 characters, as was common with some operating systems that supported the FAT file system. Examples of operating systems that do not impose this limit include Unix-like systems. Also, Microsoft Windows NT, 95, 98, and Me do not have a three character limit on extensions for 32-bit or 64-bit applications on file systems other than pre-Windows...

more file formats than you will ever want

LegionMammal978

Good idea

@Doorknob 3-character file extensions? Windows punk

TimmyD

@Doorknob -1 doesn't match html

quartata

@TimmyD Blame Microsoft

@quartata Given the design of the FAT directory table at the time, it makes sense

quartata

That doesn't mean the design of the FAT directory table made sense

zʏᴀʙiɴ101

@Doorknob echo is not a format I know. {a..z}{a..z}{a..z} is not a format I know.

TimmyD

@quartata It was a pretty reasonable compromise. Given only 32 bytes per entry to work with, it packs in an astounding amount of information.

Huh. That may actually be an interesting challenge.

"Decode a FAT directory entry"

"Help a FAT directory entry lose weight!"

Anyway, I've got a little puzzle/challenge. The motivation is that I had the idea of making an FPS game where the room layout is non-Euclidean, perhaps toroidal. Doorways between rooms may or may not be portals connecting non-adjacent rooms. I also want to avoid infinitely long lines of sight. What is the smallest and/or simplest room layout that fulfills these criteria?
