There's a measure in Mac OS X's Activity Monitor called "Memory Pressure". Instead of measuring memory used, it measures paging. It is super useful - don't look for things that reduce memory usage, look for things that reduce Memory Pressure.

You should make careful use of memory cleaners - they put RAM onto swap, sometimes it'll increase, sometimes it will decrease the memory pressure

Neko (software)

Neko is a cross-platform open-source animated cursor-chasing cat screenmate application. Neko (猫, ねこ) is the Japanese word for cat. == About Neko == Neko was originally written for the NEC PC-9801. It was later ported as a desk accessory to the Macintosh in 1989 by Kenji Gotoh, followed by an X version by Masayuki Koba. In the game, a sprite would follow the mouse pointer around. In the System 7 version, the pointer could be modified to various cat toys such as a mouse, fish, or bird. When Neko caught up with the pointer, it would stare at the screen for a few seconds, scratch an itch on its body...

DNA (base four) form codons which result in amino acids (not one-to-one) which result in proteins

Alright, who linked CHQ? Suspiciously high numbers of TNB people in there :)

@Lynn well, updated. It' not going to win over someone who does what you suggest by combining 15 Python versions with some cheap polyglots, but I think it's quite interesting. :)

@Lynn Thanks!

@DJMcMayhem shouldn't the empty Brain-Flak program just print its arguments?

DJMcMayhem

Yes, that is correct

Is it not doing that?

Martin Ender

oh does TIO read from STDIN instead of arguments?

DJMcMayhem

Yup. Decimal, split on any type of whitespace

Martin Ender

okay, thanks

DJMcMayhem

Technically it's from a file, not STDIN, but close enough

@MartinEnder are you working on modulo?

Martin Ender

6:24 PM

I thought I'd give it a try

I've never done anything in Brain-Flak but I've been meaning to learn it

you should totally give it a command-line switch to read/write characters instead of integers. that would make it a lot more powerful (without actually affecting its Turing-tarpitness)

DJMcMayhem

I'm really happy with how it turned out. Some things are a lot shorter than BF because of the nature of the nesting, but them some things are a lot harder cause of the stackyness

@MartinEnder There already is. -a -A and -c all do that

Martin Ender

oh okay

DJMcMayhem

I forgot which one is which, give me a second

Martin Ender

that should probably go in your readme then ;)

DJMcMayhem

Yeah, it should

OK, so -a is ASCII input, -A is ASCII output, and -c is both.

Martin Ender

since you have a stack depth command, the language specification should probably also mention somewhere that pushing zeros onto an empty stack creates explicit zeros which are counted (for all other commands it doesn't matter whether the zeros are swallowed by the implicit infinite stack or not).

DJMcMayhem

It's really convenient to have them split like that

Martin Ender

yeah, Stack Cats has the same (but defaults to characters)

-i for numeric input, -o for numeric output, -n for both

:D codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/12844/… is reopened

DJMcMayhem

@MartinEnder Ah, that's a good point. I'll update that.

Pushing a zero is harder than it should be. It seems like there should be a 4 byte way, but the shortest has to be 6. Unless the stack is empty I suppose

Martin Ender

well if you don't care about which stack you're on, you can do four

DJMcMayhem

6:38 PM

I can't imagine very many scenarios where you don't care which stack you end on, haha

Martin Ender

yeah I guess in most cases, both would be empty, so you can just use []

Lynn

@Optimizer Thanks what for? (You're welcome!)
