ETHproductions

17:09

@KritixiLithos I believe you're right

trichoplax appears to be 10th on this list, and all of these top ten have popularity-contest as their top tag

I wonder if anybody's top tag is neither of these...

Nevermind, dim's is code-challenge

DJMcMayhem

Yeah, but dim has like 5k rep from a single answer

They're a little bit of an exception

ETHproductions

True

Rainbolt's is... king-of-the-hill?

Interesting

Phoenix

I wonder who has the most tag badges

ETHproductions

Probably either Martin or Dennis

Business Cat

@Phoenix Is it ok if there's some extra null bytes at the end of the output?

Phoenix

17:18

Sure

Kritixi Lithos

Null bytes in a BF program, this reminds me of the collaborative pbrain answer of betseg and me

Riker

@KritixiLithos wait, what?

what's A do? isn't it "append"?

Kritixi Lithos

Yes, it moves the cursor to the end of the line

So that the program starts in insert mode, but I think you can even remove it

Mistah Figgins

@Phoenix does Wise count?

Riker

ah, I see what you mean

that works :D thanks!

done, thanks

Kritixi Lithos

I actually meant that you should be able to remove the :o a

Leaky Nun

@DJMcMayhem not at the moment

Kritixi Lithos

if you assume that the buffer will contain the input on startup

wowsers styling scrollbars with css is a pain

the chrome dev tools only help a little bit

betseg

Well it isn't on the standards

Poke

i know

but sometimes you as the developer are not the final say in how something looks

unfortunate

Geobits

19:23

What? Surely that's not true. The developer is always in charge of design and layout.

Poke

not if you want to keep your job >.<

but yes I suppose so

Geobits

Keeping a job is overrated.

Poke

While that may be true, losing it over something as small as scrollbar styling isn't worth it.

betseg

Keeping a job, making money, buying foods, staying alive are overrated?

flawr

Yes, you're going to spend the money anway, you're pooping the food out again anyway, and you're going to die anyway.

Geobits

19:31

@betseg In the end, it doesn't even matter.

Poke

Despite how hard you may have tried

Kritixi Lithos

@Geobits All you bots think alike

Geobits

Besides, keeping a "regular" job is hardly the only way to survive. It's just the easiest.

Q: Largest Increasing Subsequence

We define an increasing string as one which has characters in increasing order i.e. a0a1a2 a has a0<a1<a2<a3..<an. You are given an input string which might not satisfy this property, so your goal is to find the largest subsequence from it which is increasing string. In case multiple strings can ...

code-golf string

Geobits

And most people are afraid to make that leap.

flawr

...says Geobits, the contract ~~killer.~~ downvoter.

Kritixi Lithos

What leap?

flawr

leap of faith

Kritixi Lithos

leap of faith into what?

Geobits

@KritixiLithos The leap of quitting your job and finding something that you both want to do and allows you to survive and/or thrive.

It ain't easy

betseg

@flawr but you can't golf then

Kritixi Lithos

19:34

@betseg I like the way you think

flawr

@betseg you can golf your life

betseg

Geobits

Golfing is a good way to diet too. Just cut down your bites >_>

flawr

Well depends whether you take ascii-bites or unicode-bites.

Geobits

I'd think you want to reduce them either way.

@betseg Thank you

You are learning, young one, but you have yet to learn that the value in puns comes from the groans and grimaces, not from the karma.

In a sense, puns are golfing. You tell more in less.

ETHproductions

Wow... so I just wrote a submission for the new challenge which stores whether it's come across each digit in a binary number (since it needs to keep track of digits 0-9, it can be in the range 0-1023, or 0b0000000000-0b1111111111), and the first time I tested it I got an output of 1023

Comrade SparklePony

I am working on a golf-lang, and am therefore wondering the following: what are some common strings used in code-golf? Also, is it worth it to include "Hello, world!"?

Christopher

1. Use a dictionary with lookup 2. no

The 2nd is often not allowed and viewed as trivial and boring

Conor O'Brien

FWIW if you're challenge pivots around printing Hello, World! it's probably bad and off-topic

having a constant for Hello, World! is fine, and not often discouraged.

Business Cat

QWERTY could be a useful one

Like ["qwertyuiop","asdfghjkl","zxcvbnm"]

Downgoat

Eh, I'd most likely close most keyboard challenges as dupes of existing ones

Comrade SparklePony

21:15

@BusinessCat I have never seen any of those strings used in an answer...

Christopher

I didn't understand why i was getting an error on TIO. I had args open without any args

TuxCopter

Why is list[i].Property = something invalid C#

Business Cat

There's a few keyboard related challenges

Conor O'Brien

Jelly has a QWERTY builtin

Downgoat

CMC: given n, for 0..n, output (n+1)^2-n^2

@ConorO'Brien if the language has escape sequences and string includes "\n" then what should the program do? Return \ and n?

Conor O'Brien
