@TuxCopter That's not all that's different. In fact, the only colors that are the same are in Kirby, which I pasted on top from my previous avatar.

The warp star and the streams behind it are all different colors than they were, mostly darker.

Jonathan Allan

@Lembik so long I think I might kill it :p

Lembik

@JonathanAllan ah

Nathan Merrill

@PhiNotPi I got a response from my uncle (it took a while, due to needing to clarify):

So I'd have do some more research about a specific metric custom built for ranks across games but my first attempt would be to take the within player mean absolute deviation for each player and then combine those in an average to minimize and a standard deviation to account for the noise of the system. It may not be directly targeted at ranks but it should be directional to both the minimization of noise and the confidence that the noise has been minimized.

Jonathan Allan

in seconds... 7: 0.03; 8:0.27; 9:2.9;10:30

Nathan Merrill

so very close to what I was indicating earlier :)

Lembik

14:16

what language is 05AB1E based on?

@JonathanAllan interesting

@JonathanAllan you can make it fast for the follow up challenge :)

Jonathan Allan

my guess wouold be ~637 K years

not using that method no

:p

Lembik

@JonathanAllan there are two faster algorithms

Jonathan Allan

based on Python

Lembik

both still slow :) but faster

Jonathan Allan

github.com/Adriandmen/05AB1E

Lembik

14:18

oh..thanks!

Emigna

I was happily surprised that 05AB1E supported complex numbers. Never used them before in golf so I wasn't sure it did :)

Lembik

@Emigna :) It's really amazingly compact

given what it is doing

Jonathan Allan

Cant for the life of me work out how to piece it together in Jelly, but it's surely possible in less than 20

Lembik

how it supports complex numbers is a mystery too :)

Time to call Dennis ? :)

Emigna

Jelly will definitely beat my solution.

Jonathan Allan

14:21

J gets range of length, and Œ! gets all permutations for a start

Emigna

You should crack this Cops when you have time Jonathan ;)

Jonathan Allan

Never saw that

Emigna

Is there something in Jelly that could be used like "rotate by index"?

Zgarb

@Dennis Could you pull Jellyfish, please?

Jonathan Allan

what do you mean "by index"?

rotate left by is an atom

Emigna

14:24

as in, iterate over the matrix and rotate each row by its index in the matrix (list of lists)

might not be the best way but I'm sure it'll be shorter than mine

Jonathan Allan

you could enumerate and apply rotate dyadicaly (cant spell)

or rotate for each in range(len)

Emigna

yeah, enumerate, copy, rotate one left by index, one right by index, zip, product, sum

Jonathan Allan

probably the latter

Dennis

@Zgarb Done.

Zgarb

Thanks!

Jonathan Allan

14:28

Ah he's here to get it in 8...

Dennis

@ASCII-only Done.

Jonathan Allan

Moning :)

Dennis

Morning.

Jonathan Allan

*mornnnnmmmmming

Lembik

heeeello

I assume everyone was up watching Trump .... :)

Dennis

14:32

@Emigna ṙ"J$ would achieve that.

Lembik

@Emigna I just read the explanation.. It's just really clever and fast the way you did that

Emigna

@Lembik Just wait until you see Jonathan or Dennis do it in Jelly :)

Lembik

to make the fastest code version I need to give a way to create random matrices I think so people can test their code

@Emigna :)

not quite sure of the best way to do that

maybe I should stick to integer valued matrices for that?

10!

it's too much :)

Dennis

Might be golfable. I just woke up.

Lembik

:) good morning

Dennis

14:37

What's good about a morning that begins with waking up? :P

Jonathan Allan

I was staring at the IDE just thinking "how, how???"

Dennis

@Lembik Could you include test cases of higher order? I've never worked with permanents, but some approaches that work with determinant fail as soon as you get to 4x4 matrices.

Lembik

@Dennis sure

mbomb007

When you've been on PPCG so long, you've forgotten your actual job:

Lembik

@Dennis done

Dennis

14:43

Thanks!

mbomb007

@MitchSchwartz No. If it floats, it's a duck, so it's made of wood and therefore a witch. Good content has weight and would sink to the bottom.

DJMcMayhem

@mbomb007 Creed is the best

quartata

I just realize that literally everything that's wrong with browsers and JS today is Microsoft's fault

mbomb007

@DJMcMayhem He's great, but I think Dwight is my favorite.

DJMcMayhem

@quartata Go on...

mbomb007

14:46

@quartata the browser that must not be named (Internet Explorer)

quartata

They crippled Java applets with legal and technical issues, refused to support JS sanely, lagged behind for years on HTML5 and forced IE onto everyone who used Windows

mbomb007

@quartata Don't forget Silverlight.

quartata

All of the complicated modules and tech JS devops have created was really just to deal with that

Damn. How depressing

Geobits

@mbomb007 Why not? I've been trying to for a long time ;)

Jonathan Allan

my guess of 8 was close huh?

mbomb007

14:50

@quartata What is with your avatar? It somehow still looks like Pikachu when it's small...

or Pichu?

quartata

Spooky Halloween pichu vomited up by an overtrained convolutional neural network

TimmyD

@Dennis Better than not waking up, though, yeah?

Dennis

@Lembik Not sure how S0 is defined, so what is the permanent of the empty matrix?

feersum

There's 1 permutation of length 0, empty product is 1, so the answer is 1, no?

Jonathan Allan

@Dennis the empty product is 1

Nathan Merrill

14:56

@quartata I don't know if this is really true. There are gazillions of JS libraries because JS has a terrible standard library

quartata

That's true also but a lot of the modules JS has are build tools and the like

I'm talking about things like React, Bower, Gulp/Grunt, Babel, etc.

Dennis

@JonathanAllan Of course it is, but I'm not so sure about the domain of the sum. I guess that means that all current answers are invalid.

Nathan Merrill

right, but often you need a bunch of that because you need a bunch of modules to replace your standard library

Jonathan Allan

Mathematica returns indeterminate for 0^0 though (which would be 1 by the empty product) so I guess it's still up for debate

Mathematica Pemanent[N[{}]] returns 0

TBH 0 probably makes more sense since its an empty sum of empty products

feersum

It's not an empty sum. There's 1 term.

Jonathan Allan

15:03

there is?

feersum

0! = 1. There's 1 permutation of the empty list.

Jonathan Allan

so Mathematica is wrong :p

Poke

we've had this discussion before >.>

if i could understand how the heck chat search worked...

Dennis

I'm not even sure how to represent an empty matrix with lists. Is it [] or [[]]?

Jonathan Allan

None :p

feersum

15:06

[[]] would be 1x0

Nathan Merrill

@Dennis I'd argue []

ninja'd

Jonathan Allan

I would opt for [] over [[]]

feersum

I do remember a discussion about the impossibility of representing 0xN matrix with lists...

Poke

Aug 16 at 14:26, by Poke

There are mathematical arguments that 0^0==1

Jonathan Allan

since [x] would be 1 by 1

Dennis

15:07

@JonathanAllan But then the depth is wrong.

Jonathan Allan

yep

1 min ago, by Jonathan Allan

None :p

Nathan Merrill

what's an empty matrix? Obviously 0x0 is empty, but is 1x0 empty? What about 0x1?

Poke

Aug 16 at 17:12, by Poke

For anyone who was part of our 0^0 discussion earlier: IEEE Standard

@El'endiaStarman Your chat search thing is infinitely more helpful than SE chat search. Thanks

Nathan Merrill

see, its impossible for 0x0, 1x0, and 0x1 to all have different list representations

Dennis

Well, I left a comment.

If we need to handle the empty matrix, you should add it as a test case. The fact that you cannot really represent the 0x0 matrix with lists makes this a bit difficult. Personally, I'd just remove that requirement. — Dennis ♦ 9 mins ago

TimmyD

15:14

@NathanMerrill Sure. It's clearly [[]], [[]], and [[]], respectively. :p

Nathan Merrill

lol

what's 0x2, then?

if you say [[],[]], then wouldn't 0x0 be []?

TimmyD

[[ ]]

2

Cyoce

In Perl what are the lambdas using * as an argument called (e.g. my &code = * + 2 to add 2 to an argument)?

Nathan Merrill

lol

TimmyD

Which is different than 2x0, because that's [[ ]].

Geobits

15:17

2x0=0=0x0, so it's just []

quartata

@Cyoce Uh... is this Perl 6?

Cyoce

@quartata Yes.

quartata

OK. I was wondering because I had never heard of any such thing

TimmyD

See, that one [[ ]], while this one [[ ]]. Not the same. You see the difference.

quartata

I've never worked with Perl 6 really

Cyoce

15:18

> my &code = * + 2
{ ... }

Geobits

Is there a special name for them? I thought it was just syntax for currying.

TuxCopter

hey

quartata

Yeah, I think it's just partial application

Geobits

I mean, perlies might have a cool name for it, but nothing I know. They do like to name things though.

quartata

*perl 6 weirdos

Perl 5 folk are perfectly normal

Not biased

I do have to say though, Perl 6 is a really weird language. Almost stranger than Haskell.

I understand the appeal but

feersum

15:29

Why is it even called Perl? It has seemingly little relation...

Poke

because programming languages are gems and we shouldn't forget that

Geobits

Spoken like a brainwashed ruby fan.

TuxCopter

Idea: Rename Perl 6 to Saphir

Poke

well i mean if you're going to use a scripting language it may as well be ruby

Geobits

@TuxCopter Rename Perl <=5 to Nacre, and use Perl for 6+

Poke

15:31

ha

TuxCopter

ḣȧ

Geobits

Actually, I guess it should be Ncre, since Perl doesn't like 'a' for some reason.

TuxCopter

@Geobits ?

Geobits

Perl != Pearl

quartata

@Geobits This is why:

PEARL (programming language)

PEARL, or Process and experiment automation realtime language, is a computer programming language designed for multitasking and real-time programming. Being a high-level language, it is fairly cross-platform. Since 1977, the language has been going under several standardization steps by the Deutsches Institut für Normung. The current version is PEARL-90, which was standardized in 1998 as DIN 66253-2. PEARL is not to be confused with the similarly named Perl, an entirely unrelated programming language created by Larry Wall in 1987. == Features == PEARL supports both fixed-point and floating-point...

TimmyD

15:33

Aww. No fans of Babylon 5 here.

Geobits

Shoulda just made it PearlScript if he wanted to siphon off users of another, more established language ;)

Q: Multiplication Table

Make a multiplication table is 100 x 100. The rules are: You can't use any loops. For example, for loops, while loops. Basically, no loops are allowed. You cannot prefill the products. Meaning you must get the true product by multiplying the row by column. This is my first challenge. So sor...

Geobits

Another "no loops" challenge. Yay!

Geobits

9801?

TuxCopter

1,1->100,100

Jonathan Allan

99^2

Geobits

But... the range is inclusive

TuxCopter

Oh wait it count 0

Then replace the 9801 to 10000

Jonathan Allan

or to 100*100 just to be cheeky

Geobits

15:40

I'm also not sure this would end up formatted as a table, unless you're sneaking a newline and spaces in somewhere.

DJMcMayhem

@NewMainPosts 10:t!*. And that right there is why I love MATL

TuxCopter

They don't specified the output format ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

DJMcMayhem

Also doesn't use a loop

TuxCopter

@DJMcMayhem This is 10x10

Geobits

@TuxCopter Well yeah. That's why it's closed and most people don't bother answering ;)

(among other reasons)

DJMcMayhem

15:42

@TuxCopter fine. 100:t! then. But it doesn't look as good on TIO

Random question: what is your favorite piano song to listen to? From any genre or time-period

Geobits

Sounds silly, but the piano rendition of Eyes On Me is really nice. I like a lot of others, but it's one of the few I have on my car's mp3 player.

PhiNotPi

16:10

hypothetical question: is it possible to define "no loops" in some unambiguous manner? (disclaimer: the end result might be something totally unusable)

Geobits

@PhiNotPi I assume anything that compiles to something with no jumps leading to previously executed code would count. But yeah :/

feersum

Only for 1 language.

TuxCopter

Wat

One can redefine the = operator in C++

DJMcMayhem

@Geobits From final fantasy? (I just searched it in Spotify and that came up)

PhiNotPi

Overloading is the best.

Geobits

16:12

@TuxCopter You can redefine C++ in C++ :P

@DJMcMayhem Yeah, that one.

I like a lot of FF music, but that's the best one in piano version imo.

feersum

My favorite overload is in Python, where the . operator is, on Windows, overloaded to load a DLL.

DJMcMayhem

Nothing silly about that. Good Video game soundtracks are great because not only is the music good but it reminds you of the feeling of the game, so it's that much more meaningful.

Geobits

Yeah, the nostalgia factor is strong with that :)

DJMcMayhem

I've listened to the undertale soundtrack more times than I'm willing to admit. >_<

Geobits

And Nobuo Uematsu is just great.

DJMcMayhem

16:15

Some of the remixes are freaking fantastic. Like richaadEB's "determination" album

Geobits

I imagine it's really a different kind of challenge composing for a game. I mean, you have to be able to listen to the "main" theme(s) for hours on end, and the looping/time factor has to be interesting to work with.

Especially for old school games where music was really space limited.

Nathan Merrill

there's an awesome game called Continuity Game where the player could "zoom out" or "zoom in". They had two different tracks for the different states, and they would flow right into each other perfectly

TimmyD

@DJMcMayhem Solo piano? Or with accompaniment?

Geobits

@NathanMerrill I'll have to check that out on my PC later. My phone is sensible enough to not have flash installed :P

Nathan Merrill

its pretty addicting, so if you don't have an hour to kill, don't open it :)

DJMcMayhem

16:22

@TimmyD Either one

Nathan Merrill

my favorite pianist is William Joseph

though, I don't like most of the stuff he's put on Youtube

You can try Butterflies and Hurricanes or Piano Fantasy

DJMcMayhem

By muse? :P

Nathan Merrill

an arrangement, but yeah

also, my claim to fame is that I've played with Jon Schmidt (the pianist from the Piano Guys), but it was well before he was famous

DJMcMayhem

Oh, haha I was kidding

@NathanMerrill :O no way!

TimmyD

Oh, I like William Joseph. I just picked up Beyond after hearing him on one of my Pandora stations.

DJMcMayhem

16:27

What do you mean "played with"? What were you playing?

TimmyD

For piano and violin, it would have to be Heaven's Caravan (reprise) by Mehdi.

Nathan Merrill

well, he was doing a concert

DJMcMayhem

And what were you doing? Details! I'm really curious now

Nathan Merrill

and he asks a member of the crowd to come up and solo while he plays the bass line. I was currently in my HS jazz band as the pianist, and all my friends called out my name to come up

so, I went up

and we jammed, basically

DJMcMayhem

That's pretty sweet

Nathan Merrill

16:29

@TimmyD I have the sheet music to this, and believe it or not, Kashmir is by far, the hardest song of the lot

DJMcMayhem

I know the guy who built the metal cello the piano guys used

Nathan Merrill

Piano Fantasy is also really fun to play. You basically get to bang out octaves over and over

DJMcMayhem

@NathanMerrill follow up song since I didn't know you play piano: what's your favorite song to play?

Nathan Merrill

piano fantasy :)

DJMcMayhem

I'm looking for something new since I haven't played in a while

TimmyD

16:32

For solo piano, pretty much anything off of Dark Night of the Soul by Philip Wesley.

Nathan Merrill

oh, another favorite pianist of mine is Sonya Belousova (Player Piano)

@TimmyD I haven't heard of him, but he sounds like David Lanz to me

TimmyD

Stretching the boundaries a bit, but for keyboard/synth it would be Acid Wolfpack by Coyote Kisses.

DJMcMayhem

@TimmyD Just listened to it. That's pretty sweet. :)

One of my all-time favorite piano songs is Ease my mind by Matthew Ball.

TimmyD

@El'endiaStarman Yeah I know but that's mostly what I've used it for. We should really link it somewhere so I don't have to go through my search history every time i want to use it

Geobits

Most browsers have a feature where you can mark favorite pages to more easily revisit them.

RosLuP

A table multiplicative without loops means write each element of the table or use only recursion: because call function and operators I say hide ... Loops... But whatever piece of executable binary has loop 99.999999%

Poke

17:03

@Geobits Then why do we bother linking codegolf SE or chatiquette

TuxCopter

If you disallow loops you can't program anything except a bootloader

Poke

People can just bookmark those

Geobits

@Poke Chatiquette for discoverability (we want every user to know about it). Main site because it's the main site, so if someone wanders in by accident, they have some vague idea what it's about.

A database search doesn't fit that as well, no matter how cool or handy it is (and it is).

Poke

There's a search box that links to normal SE search

but normal SE search isn't really useful for codegolf SE

since we're often going to search symbols and stuff

When I search for "0^0" I'm not looking for every post which contains a "0"

Geobits

Sure, but that's built-in. Nobody here asked for it. I hardly even notice it most of the time, and usually click the "info" link to search.

Poke

17:10

Would we remove it given the option?

Geobits

Dunno, but I don't know what that has to do with adding an unofficial search that could go down at any time (no offense, Starman).

TimmyD

@NathanMerrill Worked, didn't it? :p

Nathan Merrill

clearly

Poke

If we're worried about it going down why link to chatiquette on github.io? That could also go down.

Geobits

The SEDE works better than SE search for many things, but there's not a link for it on every SE page. For people that do those kinds of searches often, it's not a chore to bookmark it.

Poke

17:12

And it's certainly unofficial as far as SE is concerned

Nathan Merrill

chatiquette is important. SEDE is useful. There are lots of useful things we could link, but we only link the important ones

Poke

That's pretty subjective imo.

Nathan Merrill

its really not. It is not important that users know about SEDE. It is important that they know chatiquette

Poke

You're entitled to your opinion

Geobits

@Poke I'd bet that starmaninnovations.com goes down before github.io. I don't mean "oh, server issues, brb", I mean "I'm not gonna host this any more".

Poke

17:14

It's possible

Nathan Merrill

seriously though, if we link SEDE, then we also should link TIO, and OEIS, and ...

Poke

Personally I would have no problem with that.

Geobits

@Poke It's a pretty good opinion. You can get kicked or banned for not knowing the etiquette and expectations here. You can't for not knowing there's a chat data tool that a user made.

Poke

There could even just be a codegolf resources page

Nathan Merrill

that would be useful

some page that lists a bunch of sites that we frequently use. I'd want it to be community-moderated, somehow

Martin Ender

17:18

let's host it on sourceforge

Geobits

I might have a geocities site laying around unused.

Martin Ender

can you still make myspace accounts?

Poke

i think geocities died a long time ago

Nathan Merrill

@Geobits you would use geocities :)

Yahoo! GeoCities

Yahoo! GeoCities (also known as GeoCities) is a web hosting service, currently available only in Japan. It was founded in November 1994 by David Bohnett and John Rezner, and was called Beverly Hills Internet (BHI) for a very short time. On January 28, 1999, GeoCities was acquired by Yahoo!; at that time it was the third-most visited website on the World Wide Web. In its original form, site users selected a "city" in which to place their web pages. The "cities" were named after real cities or regions according to their content—for example, computer-related sites were placed in "SiliconValley" and...

apparently still available in Japan

TimmyD

Why not a Meta post that's CW'd?

Geobits

17:19

@NathanMerrill I did use geocities :P Angelfire, too, but I didn't like it as much.

Martin Ender

@TimmyD I'm fine with that

Geobits

Yeah, I think a meta post is the usual spot for a general "Resources" list.

TimmyD

I'm pretty sure anyone who's over ~30 years old and was on the web used Geocities.

Nathan Merrill

couldn't we just make it an answer list, and people can upvote/downvote the tools they like the most?

Geobits

As long as it has quick-links in question to upvoted ones, sure.

You lose the quick access if you have to scroll.

Nathan Merrill

17:20

Martin Ender

can we think about what links we'd add before we make the post?

Nathan Merrill

TimmyD

Eh. Ideally, this "3rd party resources" post would be linked from the FAQ, and the online testing post would also be linked from the FAQ.

Geobits

17:25

Nathan Merrill

@Geobits oh, duh

Martin Ender

@Geobits (I think you were mostly joking but) the benefit of the meta post is not quick access for us, but discoverability for others

In light of last night's debate, I refuse to accept any challenges that have accepted answers unless my answer is the accepted answer.

@MartinEnder Maybe... the discussion started about having a link to tnbde in the chat description or similar, for quick access.

TuxCopter

:O GH desktop works

Martin Ender

@Geobits sure, but that doesn't change the fact that the meta post would be useful for other reasons :P

Nathan Merrill

discoverability is way more important than quick access. We're programmers: our job is to make things quick access, so if you can't do it, then learn :)

Geobits

Oh, yeah, no doubt. I wouldn't use it for quick access ( I have bookmarks), but it's a nice resource.

Martin Ender

17:28

we should add it to the resource list

Geobits

Martin Ender

I might actually do that

Geobits

@Yodle SE has a long tradition of the peaceful handover of acceptedness between answers.

Nathan Merrill

17:38

@Shebang its a console that is both handheld and can hook up to your TV

TimmyD

Yep, that's the name of the NX.

It looks vaguely like a WiiU controller-pad when in "portable" mode., but the side "controller" bits detach and hook together to form a regular gamepad and the middle part plugs into a dock when it's in "TV Console" mode
