Q: What counts as a proper quine?

The basic definition of a quine is a program that, when run, produces its own source code as output. There are a number of techniques and a number of way to implement those techniques across a number of different languages. However, not all quine programs are equal. Clearly, any quine in HQ9+ or...

discussion

Dennis

@betseg No. That would square the amount of characters rather than incrementing it in each group. It's also not a proper quine.

Maltysen

@Dennis where do infinite chains play in?

The goal is creating the longest chain. An infinite chain is longer than any finite one.

DJMcMayhem

21:36

BTW @MartinEnder Thanks for your awesome polyglot! It made my challenge stay popular for a long time which got me a gold badge a new all-time highest scoring post. :D

trichoplax

@Dennis "If two or more submissions are tied, the submission among these that starts with the shortest hyperquine (measured in characters) wins." Is this characters rather than bytes? Is the intention that multi-byte characters count as one, or just to clarify that the length is not measured in groups or group lengths?

Martin Ender

@DJMcMayhem thanks for giving it so much exposure ;) (it almost got me gold as well)

Dennis

It's characters, not bytes. Seems more natural for quines.

DJMcMayhem

@Dennis I've done that before, haha

:P

Martin Ender

@Dennis why is that?

trichoplax

21:37

@Dennis I initially wondered if that made possible a loop hole with a huge character set, but I can't actually think how it would work

Maltysen

"loop whole"

took me a second to parse that

trichoplax

@Maltysen My apologies. I should have tested it by trying to parse it myself before submitting it...

DJMcMayhem

@MartinEnder It actually didn't get that much exposure. The reddit post got it less than 300 views (since I didn't get the silver badge for sharing a link)

Dennis

@MartinEnder Because for all intents and purposes, the characters in the quine are atoms. Not set in stone though. Do you think I should change it?

Martin Ender

I wouldn't say so for general quines, but I think in your challenge it actually makes sense because you've also defined your hyperquines in terms of runs of characters

Qwerp-Derp

21:41

Hello!

DJMcMayhem

Hiya!

trichoplax

I suppose the runs have to be in characters otherwise any language using a multi-byte character set wouldn't be able to increment by 1.

Martin Ender

that depends on your multi-byte encoding, but yes it would get very messy :D

Maltysen

also, in quines if you encode extra information per character, that also means you need to output more information, so it kinda balances out any cheating

trichoplax

Is there any loop hole with a language that reads a multi-byte character as individual bytes of source code? I don't know of one, but I'm way out of my depth here...

Martin Ender

21:44

@Maltysen not really, because you'd likely do the encoding in the part that you replicate for free anyway

Dennis

@trichoplax I've edited that part. Is it clearer now?

Martin Ender

@trichoplax if it did, wouldn't that just mean that the language uses a single-byte encoding?

(and you gave it a weird file)

it doesn't seem to allow any abuse, and if someone actually managed to build a polyglot based on that, I'd be very impressed and would definitely upvote it :)

trichoplax

@MartinEnder As long as someone displaying it as multi-byte source code would have it declared invalid. I guess that doesn't need to be said explicitly? I'm just scraping the bottom of the barrel of possible problems

Dennis

@DJMcMayhem Yeah, but if we're talking about the same question here, both accepted and best-scoring answer belonged to the same user. :P I guess I'll just have to get more upvotes.

Martin Ender

@trichoplax sorry I'm not following

Dennis

21:49

@trichoplax Uh, so something like an ASCII answer that claims it's using UTF-32? Hm... Also, I must admit that I didn't even consider non-character based languages.

trichoplax

@Dennis I think it was clear already - it just made me wonder about the intention behind it in case there was a loophole. I can't compare with the previous wording without scrolling back because the latest edit doesn't show in the edit history for some reason - never seen that before

Dennis

~~Aliens~~ Caching.

trichoplax

@MartinEnder That probably has something to do with the fact I don't know what I'm talking about... I meant something like displaying chinese characters in the answer, but passing it to the interpreter as bytes.

It might allow something like abcd -> ababcdcd to count as an order 1 hyperquine

Dennis

Wouldn't hurt to mention explicitly that this isn't allowed. We don't have well-understood defaults for scoring characters.

> You must use the same character encoding for source code output, character count, and execution. For example, the Python program print 42 is not a 2-character UTF-32 submission, since the interpreter treats each byte as a single character. If your language of choice is not character-based, treat all individual bytes as characters.

@trichoplax That's what you meant, yes?

trichoplax

22:05

Yes that covers what I had in mind.

I can't see a way around that other than writing an interpreter specially for the purpose of getting around it, which would post date the challenge so wouldn't matter

Dennis

OK, if there are no more concerns, I'll go live.

@Dennis no, actually.

I know what my variables are.

quartata

It's actually a really good thing.

Downgoat

@Dennis solution: use babel :D :P

quartata

Things would super bork otherwise since numerals can sometimes be internally represented as strings

Dennis

@Downgoat WAT? true + 1 is a type error, but "1" + 1 isn't???

@quartata as funny as that was, there is such a thing as overposting

Downgoat

@quartata Okay well to be fair I'm creating an app to fix that problem

quartata

@ConorO'Brien This was the first time I've posted it

@Downgoat I'd like to see that.

Downgoat

@Dennis and people say Java is a sane language...

Conor O'Brien

@quartata in general

Downgoat

@quartata k sure

quartata

23:05

I'm not sure how you'd fix it though, since you can't extend JavaScript to add the things Babel needs

Conor O'Brien

Fortunately, the charging one has been solved now that we've all standardized on mini-USB. Or is it micro-USB? Shit.

chat moved, sorry for the extra ping

Downgoat

@quartata well you can always use custom script lang

Dennis

@Downgoat In my defense, I never did. :P

Downgoat

and then just add the <script src="bath/to/babel">

DJMcMayhem

Bath?

Downgoat

23:11

yes

you must clean the script before you can use it

otherwise it might clog up your computer

> Most people know about Amazon "Prime," but they don't know Amazon's went public in '97, which is a prime number. Write out the full year as 1997, and it's still a prime number. Specifically, the IPO was on May 15, 1997. 5,151,997 (5/15/1997) is also prime. For you non-Americans, 15/5/1997 and 15/05/1997 create two more prime numbers 1,551,997 and 15,051,997.

9/10, -1 for wrong use of "American".

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

wait there are people not in murica???

Downgoat

:O mods can give custom rep amounts for upvotes? :P

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

I feel dumb now.

Dennis

11/10 That would be the best mod abuse ever.

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ surely world is 99% america and 1% those russians who couldn't land on moon :P

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

Geobits

I think Joshua did that one time.

@Dennis I forgot to ask before you went live, but I don't understand how busy-beaver applies

Just reading through the busy beaver tag wiki again to make sure I get it

Downgoat

23:20

sorry

Dennis

@trichoplax I thought longest chain fit the tag, but after re-reading the description, it seems to apply only to single programs.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

Dennis

@trichoplax It definitely rules out infinite chains. I'll remove it.

@Geobits i thought he dumped ^^ on their heads and squished them

Geobits

Dunno. I mean, I know he'd rather play chess than global thermonuclear war, but...
