The Nineteenth Byte

betseg

16:01

i think return is 🍎

orlp

@mınxomaτ impossible

I was guilty in the pokemon dump

yet I'm not in the list

mınxomaτ

@orlp Yeah, I didn't count some messages in there.

Because the pokemon thing was an isolated incident.

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

Aha! Two bytes off!

I guess I'm really just competing with myself. :(

mınxomaτ

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan Nial, 2 bytes: []. Example:

Nathan Merrill

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan according to Martin that's half the fun of the site

mınxomaτ

16:09

    A:='Hello, World'
Hello, World
     [A]
+------------+
|Hello, World|
+------------+

Alternatively, the string constant may be passed directly, like ['Hello'].

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

@mınxomaτ ಠ_ಠ uses builtin.

mınxomaτ

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan Well, [] is not a "boxing" operation.

it's the create list operator.

A database-ish array literal.

Drawing something as a box is Nials natural output for lists.

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

Huh. Technically, that's invalid cause of the "+"s.

@NathanMerrill Wow. That's an awesome answer.

Nathan Merrill

yeah it is.

I've pretty much 180'd since that answer

(on my opinion on the matter)

mınxomaτ

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan That's how you draw boxes.

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

16:17

I've been really feeling the same way recently now that V is competetive enough that I can occasionally tie/beat other golfing languages.

Martin Ender

@Zgarb there is no built-in to give you a list from 0 or 1 to N or N-1, is there?

Leaky Nun

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan Pyth, 20 bytes: J*+4lz\-Jjjz*2d*2\|J

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

It makes the site over 9000 times more fun when you get determined to beat another answer with a similar byte count, expecially if they are also really competitive.

quartata

Oh, no +s eh

orlp

people

we need more challenges

mınxomaτ

16:19

@quartata See? That's just not how to draw boxes :D

Leaky Nun

@mınxomaτ J, 1 byte: {. Example:

   {'hello world'
┌───────────┐
│hello world│
└───────────┘

mınxomaτ

@LeakyNun If the console supports box drawing characters, Nial will use these.

Leaky Nun

@mınxomaτ but mine is one byte shorter than yours

mınxomaτ

@LeakyNun So was quartatas. Still all three answers are invalid.

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

Adding the + characters would actually add 4 bytes to my answer

quartata

16:22

Here I'll do a CG one just for you

The new p makes box drawing pretty easy

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

@quartata \o/

You should teach me cg.

Leaky Nun

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan Anymore CMC?

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

@mınxomaτ although tbf, it is a CMC that I put less than 30 seconds in to writing.

quartata

Oh shit, I forgot to add a length input modifier

oops

Nathan Merrill

you know, notepad++ is really quite impressive

mınxomaτ

16:24

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan That's why I thought "draw a box" was sufficient.

Nathan Merrill

I'm editing a 27 meg file

and I have a language syntax turned on, and I can delete/undo/scroll just fine

mınxomaτ

@NathanMerrill That's Scintilla that's impressive here, not NP++

quartata

Does Python sprintf have %n?

Nathan Merrill

@mınxomaτ what does NP++ put on top of scintilla?

mınxomaτ

@NathanMerrill The UI. The Scintilla API is extremely comprehensive and a Scintilla object on it's own could already be used as an editor.

As is done in e.g. SciTe.

Nathan Merrill

16:26

does scintilla have tabs?

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

@LeakyNun Given an integer N in [0, 9] and a positive integer x, output every positive integer up to x that doesn't have an "N" in its string representation

mınxomaτ

@NathanMerrill Not visually, but the tab contents are kept inside Scintilla buffers.

Leaky Nun

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan testcase

Nathan Merrill

@mınxomaτ so, if I were to switch to scintilla, I'd have to switch between buffers?

Sherlock9

Ok, I've not been in the chat today and it looks like something blew up. Is everything alright now?

Nathan Merrill

16:28

also, is automatic saving of text documents (as a backup) part of scintilla?

quartata

@Sherlock9 Just the usual trash

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

@LeakyNun N = 1, x = 23 Output: 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 20 22

The 23 is optional.

Leaky Nun

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan Jelly, 6 bytes: RDfÐḟḌ

mınxomaτ

@NathanMerrill No, Scintilla is an object (like an edit or button control). To experience a barebones Scintilla editor, try SciTe. NP++ is SciTe on steroids (adding more UI features and a plugin host).

Imagine Scintilla like an iframe.

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

@LeakyNun damn

Leaky Nun

16:29

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan Alternatively: RDf¥Ðḟ

mınxomaτ

That's pretty comprehensive:

Scintilla (software)

Scintilla is a free open source library that provides a text editing component function, with an emphasis on advanced features for source code editing. SciTE (cross-platform, developed by the same author), Geany (cross-platform), Notepad++ (Windows), Programmer's Notepad (Windows) and Notepad2 (Windows) are examples of standalone text editors based on Scintilla. == Features == Scintilla supports many features to make code editing easier in addition to syntax highlighting. The highlighting method allows the use of different fonts, colors, styles and background colors, and is not limited to fixed...

Sherlock9

@quartata Sigh, this is why, even when I tell bad puns, I try not to go for the low-hanging fruit. One should add something to the conversation, you know?

quartata

@Zgarb Does Grime have logical XOR?

Nathan Merrill

@mınxomaτ thanks for the info :)

Leaky Nun

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan your turn

TùxCräftîñg

16:32

halp vim is slower than tf2

huh nvm

Optimizer

you were trying to quit it?

its not slow.. it just won't happen.

quartata

Hrm Python doesn't have %n :/

I'll have to think of something more creative

TùxCräftîñg

@Optimizer haha, i know vim

Dennis

@quartata %n?

TùxCräftîñg

just editor commands were insanely slow

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

16:34

@LeakyNun sorry, just a sec

quartata

@Dennis As in the format specifier

Leaky Nun

@quartata what is it supposed to do?

quartata

%n takes the number of bytes "written" at that point and stores it in a variable

Dennis

Huh. I don't think I've ever seen/used that before.

quartata

It's not used often since if used incorrectly can open up security holes

But it would be helpful in this case

Dennis

Do we really not have a fastest code primality test? codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/primes+fastest-code

Nathan Merrill

also, is it just me, or do you guys like printf statements? I always prefer inline string creation

Sherlock9

Anyone have any comments, suggestions or corrections?

Dennis

printf can do some things that are difficult without it.

Or at least long. Very long.

Nathan Merrill

besides tables, I'm not sure what

Dennis

16:40

In some languages (cough C cough), it's the only sensible way.

Zgarb

@MartinEnder Try r.

Lynn

How strange: my Vim solution to Alphabet Triangle worked at work, but not on my laptop. :<

Zgarb

@quartata Not currently, but maybe it should!

Nathan Merrill

@Dennis well, sure. but in the ideal language, I don't think I'd include printf

Lynn

For some reason, on this laptop, "aY copies the line to both "" and "a

Is that like, a Vim option? o_O

I can’t seem to Google it either

Dennis

16:41

@NathanMerrill So how would you print a table in that language?

Nathan Merrill

likely functions that would convert numbers into strings using various rules

similar to to_date(int,"mm/dd/yy")

Lynn

C++ gets by without printf, for some twisted interpretation of “get by”.

Nathan Merrill

but the average user doesn't need to print tables. It's an assignment in CS1, and then gets used once every 5 years

Dennis

Meh, if I have a rectangular layout of integers, floats and string, a single call to printf avoids oh-so-many calls to various formatting functions (pad, inspect, truncate, etc.). That sounds far from ideal to me.

TùxCräftîñg

because sensed persons use C++?

Martin Ender

16:44

@Zgarb I must be blind

Lynn

std::cout << std::left << std::setfill('.') << std::setw(12) << std::please << std::send << std::help;

Dennis

@NathanMerrill I'm probably not the average user, but I use it every day for nicely formatted code golf test suites.

Nathan Merrill

true, it probably varies a lot from user to user

@Dennis my biggest complaint is that it separates the arguments from the string, and with large number of arguments, it becomes tough to identify what goes where

Zgarb

@MartinEnder r has funny semantics with nested arrays. I forget how it works exactly though.

Lynn

Nathan has a point, though!

quartata

16:45

@Zgarb Might be helpful in a few situations

Makes it a little less "pure" obviously

I think it could save bytes in certain situations though

Lynn

Back in like, the 1980s, printing ASCII tables was most of what people did in C.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

jolf has a builtin for that :3

Lynn

Because all you had was, well, a 1980s printer, and you wanted your numeric analysis values or whatever on a nice sheet of paper.

TùxCräftîñg

TIL in cmder deleting a chinese character visually delete 2 chars but in reality only 1 char is deleted

Zgarb

@quartata I don't think it does. XOR is still just a standard boolean function.

quartata

16:48

@Zgarb Well yeah but the standard definition of Boolean grammars doesn't include XOR

Just conjunction and negation

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

@LeakyNun shoot. I just realized V is missing a huge feature. :/ it should be é1ÀñYpñçb/d (13 bytes) but that doesn't work.

Leaky Nun

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan alright

quartata

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan I'm missing features all over the place :P

Working on a few right now

Dennis

@NathanMerrill That's a tad annoying, yeah. printf has other advantages though. Since the formatting string is fixed, the call to printf can be precompiled, making it quite efficient. Julia, e.g., does this; @printf is a macro rather than a regular function.

Nathan Merrill

@Dennis what does "precompiled" mean? it basically turns it into a bunch of string appends?

because you can't assume you have the values beforehand

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

16:50

@TùxCräftîñg surrogates?

Dennis

68

A: In Julia, why is @printf a macro instead of a function?

Taking a variable number of arguments is not a problem for normal Julia functions [1]. @printf is a macro so that it can parse and interpret the format string at compile time and generate custom code for that specific format string. People may not realize that C's printf function re-parses and re...

TùxCräftîñg

ғᴏɴᴛ ᴘʀᴏʙʟᴇᴍ :3

Nathan Merrill

that doesn't really explain exactly what it does, but I'm going to assume it converts it into something like "string "+int_to_str($var)+" str"

TùxCräftîñg

(omg spoiler on my new esolang)

Zgarb

@quartata I'm not too attached to the definition. It doesn't include containment either, but Grime has # for that. Internal consistency is more important for me.

Adnan

16:53

@Dennis Thank you :)

Dennis

@NathanMerrill Yeah, but doing that from a user function uses immutable strings, which is rather inefficient for concatenation.

Nathan Merrill

@Dennis how would it doing using mutable strings if it doesn't know length of the output of int_to_str?

Dennis

I don't know. I just like printf, ok? :P

quartata

Java optimizes things like string += other_string into using a StringBuilder (mutable string) but it does so extremely poorly usually (i.e in for loops it creates a new instance each iteration)

I usually use printf for that as a result

depends though

Nathan Merrill

@Dennis sorry, I wasn't trying to attack printf :)

Dennis

16:59

@TùxCräftîñg That's what lots of PPCG user names look like on mobile.

Nathan Merrill

@quartata I didn't realize java did optimizations like that.

quartata

@NathanMerrill It does in a few cases

@Dennis somewhat annoyingly :/

Nathan Merrill

@quartata the funny thing is that the only time I would really use string += other, is in a loop

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Iff this message reaches thirty stars, I will make my name ASCII-only.

32

:p

quartata

let's get going

@NathanMerrill Which is where the optimization grossly fails

Nathan Merrill

17:00

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ you're saying you'll never change it to ASCII-only if we don't star it?

what power we have

Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man

@quartata Well, it's (mostly) backwards compatible, so I could still use the less golfy version of the same function. But it would add 2 or 3 bytes.

quartata

@NathanMerrill I think that's the point

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

quartata

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan CG is backwards compatible with Bubblegum but that doesn't really help

The JS engine is preloaded, I believe, so the constant methods will be loaded as soon as you open the browser and won't be removed until it closes.

It just gets added to when more stylesheets get parsed.
