Question: is my answer on "Is It an Odd Word?" here a victim of a Community autodownvote meta.stackexchange.com/questions/276269/…?

Hm, never mind. The timelines don't match up

DJMcMayhem

@Sherlock9 it's possible, but it seems a little long for an auto flag

Sherlock9

Yeah, that's what I thought after a closer look. Thanks DJ

'Tis still a pain in the butt :P

DJMcMayhem

Yeah, I looked through the review history, and it wasn't flagged

I also learned that apparently I reviewed like 6 in a row on that same challenge. 0_0

Sherlock9

Hahaha

Conor O'Brien

._.

Sherlock9

22:15

@DJMcMayhem Incidentally, how do you look through review history? Is the review history for the answer, the question, or the whole of PPCG?

Conor O'Brien

CMC: given an index in a string K, output the line that contains the char at index K

e.g.

Hello, World!
asdfasdfa
sdfasd

input 18, output `asdfasdfa`

Geobits

@Sherlock9 It might be a golflang downvoter. The only other downvotes I see on any of the answers there are Jelly and Wasabi (err, I mean 05AB1E). Of course, it could also be a coincidence :)

Sherlock9

I'm not sure Actually can take multi-line strings

Conor O'Brien

@Geobits O isn't downvoted.

Set Big O haha

Sherlock9

@Geobits Wasabi XD

Geobits

22:18

Sure, there are others that aren't. It's just rare to see just some commonly known golflangs downvoted on a question with that many answers.

quartata

@Geobits Damn, there should be a language called Wasabi

Ton Hospel

After this conversation soon there will be

Geobits

I imagine it as a complement to ><>

quartata

Hmm, I always wanted to try my hand at a multi-dimensional language

Conor O'Brien

@quartata it's so fun that I've made two

PhiNotPi

22:30

I also want to make a 2D language sometime, but I want to come up with a way to avoid all the <^>v "redirect instruction pointer" stuff that is in so many languages.

Conor O'Brien

Jellyfish is a nice example of that

Geobits

Just make one redirect, and have it go clockwise each time >_>

PhiNotPi

@ConorO'Brien link? there's no esolangs page

Conor O'Brien

Jellyfish, by Zgarb iirc

ETHproductions

Is there a way to see how much rep you would have earned in a day without the rep cap?

Conor O'Brien

22:36

I think there's an SEDE for that

ETHproductions

Or just any way to see all upvotes on your posts today?

Downgoat

\o/ \o/ \o/ GH now supports rebase merging!!!

ETHproductions

Yes! I love GH! ...wait, what's rebase merging?

Downgoat

Merging done correctly

it basically merging but reorganized commits correctly

ETHproductions

So it's like a cross between regular merge and commit-squishing that actually does what you want it to?

quartata

22:39

@ETHproductions git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Rebasing

Downgoat

Useful for merging feature branches for for when you forgot to pull from origin

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@ConorO'Brien yeah, zgarb

ETHproductions

Yes, that's exactly what I need/what I thought the merge feature did at first/what I thought commit-squishing did at first :P

That should the be default behavior, IMHO. You shouldn't have to clone an extra commit from one branch to another just because you merged the two in the past

DJMcMayhem

@Sherlock9 it's just for any reviews. I'm not sure how much rep you need to see it. Can you see anything on this page?

codegolf.stackexchange.com/review/low-quality-posts/history

Sherlock9

Yep. I think I just forgot it was there because I haven't reviewed anything in a while

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

22:49

are unsolvable challenges off-topic?

I don't think so? is there a meta about that?

DJMcMayhem

Unsolvable how? Like, tetris in GOL?

Conor O'Brien

@DJMcMayhem that's solvable!!!! mutters something about vgol

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@DJMcMayhem no, like "solve this problem in O(1)" when it's actually only solvable in O(log n)

DJMcMayhem

It's technically solvable, just really frickin hard

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

provably impossible

DJMcMayhem

22:53

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I know exactly what challenge you're talking about, haha

You could ask on meta

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

yeah

@DJMcMayhem drafting right now

Qwerp-Derp

Heyo!

DJMcMayhem

o/

quartata

@DJMcMayhem Which challenge?

DJMcMayhem

Too lazy to find it

quartata

22:55

What's the name?

DJMcMayhem

Don't remember

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

positive negative arrays

in the close vote review queue

DJMcMayhem

Q: Stable positive/negative separation

From SO. You are given an array with positive and negative integers. Write a function to change the elements order in the array such that negative integers are at the beginning, the positive integers are at the end and two integers that have the same sign don't change order. Example: Input 1,...

quartata

Ooh, yeahhh....

Also that question is from 2011

Geobits

The newest answer has comments in it, a useless define, and I have no idea how they got the byte count. Even counting the comments it's only 280 o_O

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

23:01

@quartata yeah, but mbomb found it and voted to close

@DJMcMayhem decided on yes, it's invalid, but there are no possible answers.

quartata

I would close it as unclear what you're asking, actually. Fuzxxl's reasoning for why it can't be done is more a flaw in the specification

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

Hm, true.

quartata

His point in essence is that there's no bounds on the size of the array

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@mınxomaτ how did you find the messages that were trashed? I'd personally be interested in seeing what messages of mine were trashed, (other than the carets).

Lynn

Hiya, 19B

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

quartata

Ugh, in other news I've completely forgotten how to write JavaServer Faces...

mınxomaτ

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Manually. Literally dumpster diving.

Find the message that says "moved from TNB" and then count back.

Lynn

I’ve been thinking about… trivial answers! Because of xnor’s post.

I actually like the idea of this solution

ETHproductions

@Lynn What specifically about trivial answers?

mınxomaτ

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ No. To prevent inclusion of conversations that take place in Trash for whatever reason.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

oh, okay.

makes sense

Lynn

23:07

I feel sort of weird about them. On the one hand, they have all the problems xnor mentions. On the other hand… it feels strange to not share a short program I can think of, on a short-program-sharing website

quartata

I feel like the leaderboard in general could use a revamp

It certainly doesn't help this one-dimensional view of code golf

mınxomaτ

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ You are certainly not part of the problem. This was an artifact from the time where carets made up more of chat.

Lynn

I almost want to post a Jelly answer for the sake of completion, and say “please don’t actually upvote this”. v_v;

ETHproductions

@Lynn Yes, I completely agree, because where else would we post them?

Dennis

@Lynn There's no problem with posting these answers. The problem is that they shouldn't get upvoted as much as they do.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

23:09

@mınxomaτ yeah, most of my trashed carets were at the very beginning of the "trash all the carets" phase

DJMcMayhem

@Lynn I've been thinking about that a lot too. I posted a two byte MATL answer in 30 seconds, and spent ten minutes working on a brain-flak answer. I was disappointed that the MATL answer got 11-12 and the bf got 1-2 and no comments.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Lynn lol

quartata

Has anyone here worked with SE's OAuth?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Lynn IMO, the posts aren't the problem. Answerers should feel free to share their code. The voters should consider effort more, and that's not the answerer's fault.

DJMcMayhem

It kinda makes me want to learn a language I know nothing about and then golf exclusively in that for a while

Lynn

23:10

There is definitely a problem of… people giving things votes because they have votes, I guess?

ETHproductions

Yes. That.

quartata

@Downgoat Do you have a vim syntax coloring for Cheddar?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@DJMcMayhem lol

Geobits

Re "the voters should consider effort more"... I just don;t see that happening.

zyabin101

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ In the light of that meta post, I might also get suspended out of chat, and that's unlawful.

quartata

23:11

It's burning my eyes working with it without syntax coloring right now

ETHproductions

That and "This answer is sooo short! It definitely deserves more votes!"

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

no it's really not

DJMcMayhem

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ it's one thing to say that, but it's another thing to actually write posts that take considerable effort

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@zyabin101 how is that unlawful? That's the purpose of suspension.

Lynn

Also, should we be downvoting lazy answers? Probably not

DJMcMayhem

23:12

Golfing languages are so much easier to answer in, once you get past the initial learning curve

quartata

I'm literally having to do :set filetype=javascript

It's better than nothing

zyabin101

I better get away from this asap.

ETHproductions

@Lynn If it's not golfed, yes. Otherwise, probably not.

quartata

@Downgoat By the way did you push := to NPM?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@ETHproductions if it's not golfed shouldn't you flag?

Geobits

23:13

Downvote at the least imo.

DJMcMayhem

@zyabin101 if the only thing you took out of that post is "woe is me, everyone hates me" and not "oh, I should seriously reconsider how I behave in chat" then yes, maybe you should.

ETHproductions

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ As "not an answer"? Perhaps

DJMcMayhem

@ETHproductions problem is, golfing languages make it harder to tell what is lazy or not, since it's all short anyway

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@ETHproductions yes, that's what I've done/seen

Geobits

They should be flagged with "Other" and explained if they're not golfed. "Not an Answer" is for blatantly non-answers like "my cat ate a bug on thursday. can I feed it avocad tomorrow?"

4

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

23:16

lol

Geobits

Or as someone wiser put it: Answers that aren't actually answers. This includes anything but code that is intended to solve the challenge.

Lynn

A strange/interesting idea: deleting my own trivial (like, ≤4-byte) golf language answers.

1. Low-rep users won’t get scared away by them.
2. They’ll still be there for high-rep users to see.
3. They’ll show up below all the non-lazy answers.
4. People can’t vote them up (I think?).
5. I don’t have to supply a reason to delete my own posts.

DJMcMayhem

If you actually did that, and went through with the rep loss and all that, serious props to you.

Lynn

(And even then, “PPCG is a code-golf knowledge-sharing website, and this post contains code-golf knowledge, but I don’t think it’s good” seems like an okay reason to delete a post?)

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Lynn iirc if they are accepted you can't, but other than that that seems okay

DJMcMayhem

23:18

I don't think I'd be able to bring myself to doing something like that

Geobits

@Geobits That's not to say that every non-golfed answer should be flagged, of course. A downvote and/or comment might serve just as well.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

but IMO don't, that's not the best solution to the problem

ETHproductions

Sorry, laptop died on me

Lynn

I’m not totally sold on it either… I’m still shifting the burden towards me, the answerer, argh!

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@ETHproductions battery or fire and sparks?

Lynn

23:20

But it might be better than nothing?

ETHproductions

@DJMcMayhem Yeah, but I think it's hard to write an ungolfed answer in a golfing language

ETHproductions

(jk, it was the battery)

Lynn

23:21

(I’ve written some ungolfed GolfScript as an exercise. Comments, long variable names, et cetera. It ends up looking like FORTH, as you’d expect!)

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@HelkaHomba does that work the same way as the one on the PPCG server?

Dennis

@Lynn Deleting a fair share of the answers you posted raises automatic flags and is one of the default reasons for a suspension.

Helka Homba

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Yep, it will

DJMcMayhem

@ETHproductions it's definitely possible. I've (recently) seen a pyth answer longer than a python answer on the same challenge.

Lynn

@Dennis Ahh, that is a problem. :<

DJMcMayhem

23:22

@Dennis an automatic suspension?

ETHproductions

@DJMcMayhem True. I guess there are some extremely lazy answers that don't even bother to get a half-decent algorithm

DJMcMayhem

Fwiw it was a new user, and they golfed it down later

Dennis

@DJMcMayhem No, the suspension is not automatic, but there will be rate limits, Community will nag the moderators every time another post is deleted, and network-wide policy is that deleting content others deemed useful is not allowed.

In large amounts, that is.

Lynn

I figured there might be such a policy

Helka Homba

@DJMcMayhem Was that a car pun or did it just look like one?

DJMcMayhem

23:25

I'm tired of needless puns.

Making too many of them is exhausting

ETHproductions

Give me a brake...

DanTheMan

Wheel it ever stop?

Dennis

Oh deer.

ETHproductions

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

We should probably stop with the age questions, it could make people uncomfortable.

Qwerp-Derp

True

DanTheMan

But whoever clicked on the SP isn't uncomfortable @EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

Qwerp-Derp

There's freedom of choice

DJMcMayhem

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ nobody has to answer if it does

Anonymous ones are okay though

Rainbolt

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC What is special about the number 26? In my experience, people mature at various ages from 16 to 80.

@DJMcMayhem yeah, just being careful

@Qwerp-Derp but that doesn't mean some people aren't talking because of the discussion

ETHproductions

TIL either nobody in this room is above 20, or nobody above 20 wants to share their age.

Downgoat

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC still a very similar graph, just less data points: data.stackexchange.com/codegolf/query/545010#graph

noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC

People don't like revealing that their old too?

Downgoat

@ETHproductions I think its the younger people who use the new fandangled SE chat :P

@Downgoat I think that's exactly why we have so many complaints about chat... :/

ETHproductions

Actually, scratch that: TIL I'm talking to a bunch of 10-to-15-year-olds :P

Qwerp-Derp

"None of that new-fangled 'chat' thingamadoodles"
