Q: What is the "Ant-Difficulty" of this string?

I think about if I was turned into an ant, I'd want my loved ones to know, so I thought of a plan- I'd gather twigs and leaves and write my name on the ground, Then I'd wait for my family and friends to crowd round But now I'm thinkin'- that when they saw it They'd think the human me w...

I have a challenge I want to write, but it would need sandboxing, and I have no confidence in the Sandbox anymore :/

Dennis

@MDXF If you can see codegolf.stackexchange.com/review/low-quality-posts/history, you can look if your post shows up. If it doesn't, it means I'm not supposed to tell you.

@Mego I'm not using it a lot lately, but for challenges with corners and potential problems I do. It only adds, it's better than nothing. What's the challenge about?

user165474

I just came back after posting a challenge last night and see +175 :o

@LuisMendo Miller-Rabin primality tests and strong psuedoprimes

user165474

>_>

user165474

I just got the Informed badge last night

Luis Mendo

@Mego Whoa. I can't be of help with that, sorry

user165474

Also, in the space of under 24 hours, my challenge has received a higher score than all but one of all of my other challenges :o

user165474

People really like Dennis; I should make more challenges about him.

@HyperNeutrino I didn't realize you had posted it! Neat

user165474

I'm wondering who I should do next. I have an interesting challenge idea for you @Mego

Anonymous

@HyperNeutrino Go for it :)

user165474

I think I might do all the mods first, but I might post yours first because I have an idea :)

I'm gonna guess it involves penguins

user165474

Yes. :P

Mendeleev

23:10

"Tux or Mego?"

Destructible Lemon

@Mendeleev -1 the linux penguin is called Tux

user165474

Tux -> Linux or TuxCopter?

user165474

@Mendeleev no fair changing your message after someone -1'd you

Mendeleev

Linux Tux, TuxCopter, or Mego?

user165474

CMC: Given two positive integers, convert them to binary and line them up right-aligned one on top of another and see if any bits that are above/below each other are the same

user165474

23:13

example:

user165474

10, 5 -> 1010, 101 -> 1010, 0101 -> false

user165474

10, 6 -> 1010, 110 -> 1010, 0110 -> true

Mendeleev

so XOR?

user165474

actually is this a main challenge already?

Anonymous

@HyperNeutrino So bitwise AND?

user165474

23:14

yes

Dennis

Anonymous

Oh wait zeroes match too

Mendeleev

@Dennis Is this a pun?

Anonymous

So XNOR

user165474

essentially it's a^b==a+b

actually is this a main challenge already?

user165474

if not i want to post it

Dennis

@Mendeleev No, it's a caret.

Anonymous

It's a XNOR b

Mendeleev

user165474

i don't really understand the behavior of xnor (both the operator and the user) but ok, i think that's right

user165474

23:16

@Mendeleev 0/10 image not found

Anonymous

a XNOR b = not (a XOR b)

Mendeleev

@HyperNeutrino loads for me

user165474

@Mego oh in that case then yes.

user165474

@Mendeleev hm strange. lemme reload

user165474

still doesn't load correctly ;_;

Downgoat

23:17

@ASCII-only ._. ok so I spent one hour doing doc on how VSL scope work but made 0 progress on code

Mendeleev

@HyperNeutrino huh

ASCII-only

Hmm how could I do Mathematica's symbolic computation (patterns with variables) golfily

user165474

??? weird

user165474

it loads when i click it

Downgoat

:( ono my greek letters broke

user165474

23:19

uh oh D:

user165474

huh. a xnor b doesn't appear to be an existing challenge. if not i call posting it

Downgoat

I call downvoting it :P

user165474

...:(

user165474

y u sew meen

Mendeleev

Make sure to tell @xnor

user165474

23:21

@Mendeleev 0/10 bad ping ;_; (don't delete it though)

Downgoat

@HyperNeutrino I'm more of a knitting person over sewing

aww yiss greek letters work :D

user165474

y u ~~knot~~ knit nice

Mendeleev

@Downgoat should i use cheddar

btw in cheddar

Downgoat

nah, use VSL

Mendeleev

is everything an expression like in ruby

Downgoat

23:23

no

Mendeleev

D:

rip my use of cheddar

ATaco

Oh my gosh, VSL is looking rather incredible.

Mendeleev

link?

cat

@DJMcMayhem I found that one, thanks

ATaco

@Mendeleev The Docs

Mendeleev

23:29

thakns

Downgoat

@ATaco :D

wait are docs looking incredable or language

user165474

neither

user165474

because it's not "incredable"

user165474

:P

Downgoat

@HyperNeutrino :(

user165474

23:40

;)

ASCII-only

@WheatWizard Help, I think I'm not understanding Klein correctly

Destructible Lemon

@Downgoat burned

user165474

:o I've been around for longer than Mego on this site?

ATaco

I'm trying to work out how editing works in the chat.

function Ct(e) {
    i || Eggs.Current(e)
}

I think it's trying to stop me.

Destructible Lemon

@HyperNeutrino why do you say that?

ASCII-only

23:45

Anyone know what I did wrong with this Klein program?

Downgoat

@ATaco Eggs.Current is an empty function btw

ATaco

?!

Why tho

Downgoat

Inspecting websocket reqs are easier though

user165474

@DestructibleLemon It seems very strange because Mego is an RO with over 18k rep and I'm sitting here at 5k rep :(

Destructible Lemon

@ASCII-only this is broken link somehow

ASCII-only

23:46

@DestructibleLemon ???

Destructible Lemon

@HyperNeutrino no I mean why do you think you have been around longer?

user165474

unless i checked the wrong profile

Destructible Lemon

Christopher

In my answer can I say that 0 = truthy?

Destructible Lemon

probably not

Q: User Appreciation Challenge #1: Dennis ♦

I got the spontaneous idea of making a series of challenges of users that have helped and continue to help the PPCG community be an enjoyable place for everyone, or maybe just specifically for me. :P If you convert Dennis's name to an array of 1s and 0s where each consonant is 1 and each vowel i...

code-golf string palindrome

user165474

ah ok

Christopher

XD yours

user165474

erm

Destructible Lemon

unless the challenge allows it

ASCII-only

@DestructibleLemon Error on your end probably

Christopher

23:47

I didn't think I could, but meta isn't clear

user165474

as long as you have two distinct values, one for each, i guess i'll allow it

Christopher

O_O YASSS

user165474

@DestructibleLemon Mego has been a member for 1y7m, I have been a member for 1y10m

user165474

@Christopher Are the arguments necessary?

Christopher

@HyperNeutrino ? What ones

user165474

23:50

You have input and arguments

Christopher

No, Those are left over XD

user165474

oh lol

Christopher

I was checking if I was valid, forgot to remove. They would bug it out lolo

user165474

0/10 Doorknob should give falsy but it gives truthy.

Christopher

? It works for me

Destructible Lemon

23:53

@Christopher works on my machine™

Christopher

Yep

user165474

dennis also doesn't work properly

ATaco

Well, I can delete messages..?

Christopher

user165474

mhm

user165474

23:54

but 0 is truthy

user165474

according to you

Christopher

ohh

Removing answer

user165474

rip

user165474

first outgolf gone wrong ;_;

user165474

well rip i was hoping to cap today but time's up ;_;

Destructible Lemon

23:55

idea for a chat game: get marky markov or a similar bot, but on someone elses account, and get another person as well. The other person must pretend to be marky markov (or similar bot) and pass reverse turing test thing

Christopher

I am going to cry :_(

@DestructibleLemon I will kill everything

Writing math-related challenges really makes me wish we had MathJax

Destructible Lemon

@Christopher no don't start yet

Downgoat

@Christopher D: ono D: let me post goat picture to cheer up

> You goat to keep your head up

Christopher

23:57

@DestructibleLemon oh. Did i win?

Destructible Lemon

0/10 you made the saying wrong I think

Christopher

@Downgoat hahahhahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Holy crap that was good

Destructible Lemon

well, first I would need to figure out how to start up marky markov

user165474

reminder no bots in TNB

Christopher

I talked to Geobits. Said no

Destructible Lemon

23:58

yes. this is why it would be in a new room

how to run chatbot on account?
