The Nineteenth Byte

8:00 PM

@Downgoat Probably, actually. :P I think assoc/bonus allowing upvotes causes issues.

@totallyhuman Yes, otherwise it would just be simple stringsub

@Adám Hm, you must specify precisely what to replace and with what, or the community won't like the idea too much.. Also, there's ASCII to unicode, ...

Adám

@StephenS No, not "just", you have to analyze context.

@Mr.Xcoder Yeah, but I think I have a good spec.

Mr. Xcoder

@Adám Good, then

totallyhuman

sandbox time :3

Stephen S

@Adám Hm, that'd probably end of being one the challenges we're talking about right now with 20 upvotes on the question, but 3 on the bold answerers

Uriel

8:01 PM

@HyperNeutrino my highest voted answers were posted long hours after the challenges has been answered by many people. eventually, good answers gets discovered and rewarded. but usually esolangs are the ones who are more clever. I didn't see many clever C# answers, I did see many clever APLs though

dzaima

@Adám I had been thinking of a challenge where you have to draw the box-drawing drawings from given coordinates and lengths and widths

Mr. Xcoder

@StephenS not really, it's not that hard

Adám

@StephenS Yeah, after a week, someone will post a 3000 byte solution in Python and that'll be it.

Stephen S

@Mr.Xcoder Look at the corners, and the apostrophes

Adám

@Mr.Xcoder The serifs were tricky.

Mr. Xcoder

8:03 PM

Do-able, someone would do this in Charcoal easily for sure.

totallyhuman

i'd think 3000 is a little over-estimation...

Adám

@Mr.Xcoder I'm not sure about Charcoal, but doable. I did it.

Mr. Xcoder

@totallyhuman Not really

Zachary T

Dyalog APL, I'm assuming?

Mr. Xcoder

@ZacharyT what else?

Mr. Xcoder

How would you get the occurrences of corners separated by newlines?

Stephen S

@Uriel No, you do any letters, I think

totallyhuman

convert to a list of strings and it should be ok

Zachary T

@Uriel Hardcoding?

Adám

@Uriel Standard loophole.

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Simplify my matrix challenges! I have written a few challenges related to matrices, and common for all are that I use the following format when representing the matrices, both in examples and in test cases: 16 2 3 13 5 11 10 8 9 7 6 12 4 14 15 1 Or 0.14778 ...

Mr. Xcoder

@Uriel just do that for ∞ test cases and you're done.

HyperNeutrino

More matrix challenges?

Adám

@StephenS It has nothing to do with letters.

Uriel

@Adám you just said "convert this to this"

Mr. Xcoder

Not again

@Uriel That's a loophole

Stephen S

8:06 PM

@Adám Oh, I misread the specs then

HyperNeutrino

@Uriel That's a good point, especially about esolangs being more clever. That is very true. I would actually rephrase what I said earlier to talk more so about answers that took a lot of effort. That's interesting about your highest voted answers though; my highest at one point was an FGITW trivial answer.

Uriel

@Mr.Xcoder awesome, byte count: ∞ * 446

@Uriel AKA everyone has the idea, you are just faster

HyperNeutrino

So you ninja'd everyone.

@StephenS yea I know fastest gun etc.

totallyhuman

yeah i really think 3000 is too much

Adám

@Uriel Dunno, he had an emergency.

Mr. Xcoder

@HyperNeutrino You just ninja'd me again

3 times today !!!

@Mr.Xcoder Learn to type like a leet coder, and get better internet, and get lucky

totallyhuman

are those all requirements?

Stephen S

8:09 PM

@totallyhuman If you don't want to get ninja'd

totallyhuman

can i just do 2 of them

Stephen S

@totallyhuman Then you have to get really lucky

Mr. Xcoder

@StephenS I feel like I ninja'd someone with this, because no Python answer was posted in half an hour.

Stephen S

@Mr.Xcoder I know, I just don't know Python :)

**yet

totallyhuman

oh yeah there's like a tokenizer in the docs that i practically copied

Mr. Xcoder

@StephenS It has a function exec() that matches perfectly with .replace()

Uriel

@Adám since you came with this idea, I'd take my bet on an dyalog APL 16 5byter

Zachary T

8:12 PM

Link to the tokenizer???

Stephen S

@Mr.Xcoder I thought that matched with eval()?

Mr. Xcoder

@StephenS eval() and exec() both work perfectly.

But indeed eval() is more suited here

Stephen S

@totallyhuman I know what you can do, I learn how to do ASTs and all that from a Python interpreter tutorial, but I implemented them in Java

Adám

@Uriel Not exactly 5 bytes, but yes, Dyalog APL 16.0's ⌺ is the way. It is really the Context Operator, which is exactly what you need for this.

Stephen S

And I'd probably go the interpreter->parser->lexer route over just a tokenizer

totallyhuman

8:14 PM

@ZacharyT i can't find it right now

Mr. Xcoder

Keeping in mind that @StewieGriffin posted yet another matrix challenge (idea) in the sandbox, I went to M.SE once and the first question was The set of matrices whose range is the span of a given set :P

Uriel

@Adám well, in that case I'd suspect you put some ideas into dyalog's CTO's head about useful operators. note I didn't state what are they useful for 😉

Adám

@Uriel Stencil wasn't my idea, it was Roger's.

Uriel

@Adám well, after 42 years I believe even the key operator gets boring (sarcasm alert)

Zachary T

@Uriel What do you mean by that?

totallyhuman

8:19 PM

@ZacharyT found it

Jim

Whoa, I just discovered that recursion was possible with Pyth

Adám

@Uriel :-) Key has only been in since version 14.0. I think we'll slow down the pace of adding primitives. A few more from J for function composition and application, and that's it. We'll probably focus on utilities, interfacing and tools.

Uriel

@Adám or, you can just adopt Jelly as version 17.0

you can credit me for that along with renaming APL to COOL MAN

Mr. Xcoder

@Uriel Well, Jelly is good for golfing, but not as superior as APL.

6

Adám

@Uriel Jelly really doesn't have much more than J.

HyperNeutrino

8:21 PM

@Mr.Xcoder shhh... you'll make The Dennis angry

Zachary T

APL is not a golfing language.

Stephen S

@Uriel which obviously stands for Can Object Oriented Languages Make A Name

Uriel

@ZacharyT y'all keep saying that.

Mr. Xcoder

@HyperNeutrino That @Dennis ?

Adám

@Mr.Xcoder Care to explain?

HyperNeutrino

8:22 PM

@Mr.Xcoder No DON'T PING HIM! that's just going to make him notice!

2

Well now that it's starred...

Business Cat

But APL is pretty good for golfing nonetheless

Mr. Xcoder

@Adám I meant, APL is very useful in comparison to golfing languages.

Zachary T

Now, if someone made an APL dialect specifically for golfing, it'd leave Jelly in the dust.

Uriel

@StephenS thats good. actually it was Code Oriented Objectified Linear MAthematical Notation

Adám

@ZacharyT Not really, Jelly is about as golfed as APL can go.

Stephen S

8:23 PM

@ZacharyT How? You still only have 256 bytes, you can't implement that much

Fatalize

@ZacharyT ...that's pretty much what Jelly is

Adám

@Fatalize Exactly.

Uriel

@StephenS APL uses less than half its charset

Mr. Xcoder

@HyperNeutrino "The Dennis" 😂

Zachary T

Jelly is J made for golfing.

Hence the name.

Adám

8:24 PM

@ZacharyT Huh? It should be shorter than "J".

Fatalize

J is like, really really close to APL

Stephen S

@Uriel Yes, but Jelly uses all of it. If APL used all of it, what would it have that Jelly didn't? At that point it's just tradeoffs

HyperNeutrino

@Adám Let's see you do that. :P

Stephen S

@Adám "", and you get the added benefit of being falsey

HyperNeutrino

oh

Uriel

8:25 PM

@StephenS IT WILL HAVE TETRATION

Zachary T

J is really close to APL when it comes to trains (tacit)

Adám

@StephenS Wait, that's my golfing language!

Zachary T

Wrong quotes.

Adám

@ZacharyT Yeah, there are actually just three differences, afaik.

Stephen S

@Adám oops sorry, I already reserved .com you can't have it

HyperNeutrino

Adám

8:27 PM

@ZacharyT No, the name of the language is the empty string. Depending on language, you'd use various quotes.

totallyhuman

*checks if github allows for commas in repo name*

uhm

that just happened

Stephen S

@Adám What if the source chars mean different thiings depending on whether you call it as '', "", or ``

totallyhuman

my language is now called "-"

Adám

@Uriel People downvote answers due to the language used?

Stephen S

@totallyhuman Good lucky getting that on esolangs

Your challenge is to make an infinite loading screen, that looks like this: Or, to be more specific: Take no input. Output Loading..., with a trailing space, but no trailing newline. Infinitely cycle through the chars |, /, - and \: every 0.25 seconds, overwrite the last one with the next ...

@Jim Retina in C#

DJMcMayhem

@Jim Brain-flak was implemented in Ruby

V was implemented in python + vimscript

Not sure if that counts

Luis Mendo

Native speakers: does "hopes in the air" mean "the hopes are high (there is plenty of hope)", or "the hopes disappeared (there is no hope)" (sorry for off-topic)

Adám

@DJMcMayhem Nah, in my CMC you take a char as input, and output the next one.

Phoenix

@DJMcMayhem As well as haskell, C, and Python

@LuisMendo I have not heard of that expression at all

Adám

@Jim QuadR and QuadS in APL.

Stephen S

@Adám (c,s="|/-\\")=>s[s.indexOf(c)+1]||"|" I think

Luis Mendo

9:14 PM

@Phoenix Yeah. I made that up :-) What would it mean, if anything?

Zachary T

MATL's in Matlab, right?

Stephen S

@LuisMendo "up in the air" means it's uncertain

Luis Mendo

@ZacharyT Based on, written in, transpiles to; yes

Phoenix

^^, but it's weird so don't say it.

Luis Mendo

@StephenS That's what I suspected. So it may have a negative meaning. Thanks both!

Stephen S

9:15 PM

@Phoenix Why weird? "My future is up in the air", that's not weird to me

Phoenix

That isn't weird

"Hopes in the air" sounds wrong somehow

Zachary T

Brachylog => Prolog

Jim

@Phoenix @DJMcMayhem @Adám Okay. It seems that didn't get in the way of their integration with TIO :)

Luis Mendo

In Spanish, being in the air also means that: uncertainty

Phoenix

@Jim Well, yeah, because TIO has basically every language.

Luis Mendo

9:16 PM

@Phoenix Probably because of the contradiction between "hope" (positive feeling) and "in the air" (uncertainty)

Phoenix

Except BlitzMax, which is the reason Surface and B aren't there.

@Jim there are no requirements as long as your language is not ;#

Phoenix

@Jim It has to A) run on Fedora Linux, B) Not be a meme, C) Not cost money

Although requirement B is a bit loose

Stephen S

@Phoenix D) run on command line, I think

Phoenix

Right also ^

Zachary T

9:19 PM

Jelly has sort of become a meme.

Phoenix

So SmallBasic doesn't cut it

Jim

@Okx @Phoenix @StephenS Okay thanks.

Stephen S

Which is why I need to stop writing interpreters in JS, since that doesn't work with codepages anyway

Zachary T

I think.

Stephen S

@Jim Ping Dennis in the TIO chatroom

Phoenix

9:19 PM

@ZacharyT I was entirely refering to Gaot++

talk.tryitonline.net

Jim

@StephenS Alright, will do that

dzaima

@Okx push that string, get inputs index in that, increase, push string again, and get that index+1th char

Zachary T

So, how far back should I go to see a reasonable TNB?

Stephen S

@ZacharyT Here's the first day, to get you started: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/240/2011/1/28

Zachary T

I already got the first day.

Stephen S

9:22 PM

@ZacharyT Then keep hitting next day 2300 times

Zachary T

Can someone send me 1 year into TNB>

Okx

totallyhuman

uses magic and traps Stephen in one year into tnb

Stephen S

Zachary T

Q: SpaceLivesMatter

Remove Spaces, Maintaining Capitalization Your input will be an English sentence, phrase, or word. It will only contain a-zA-Z' -,.!?.

Two years in?

HyperNeutrino

TNB took a while to get rolling, I see.

Stephen S

2 years in

Zachary T

I'm surprised that this room and JavaScript over at SO don't have any regular users in common (as far as I can tell)

... le sigh ... 3 years?

DUMB. I can just modify the year in the URL.

I feel stupid

Okx

CMC: Favourite TLD? Mine is .sh

Zachary T

Thin I found a point in time I was looking for. chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/240/2014/8/30

Stephen S

.cancerresearch

Okx

does that really exist? :O

Stephen S

9:30 PM

@ZacharyT Good 'ol KotH

trichoplax

Back when I had a different name

Zachary T

I have a theory. When was Dennis' first message?

trichoplax

Do you know TNBDE?

It can answer all your questions...

Stephen S

@ZacharyT cough cough cough archive.org on Dennis' profile... it's enlightening (ducks banhammer)

I feel stupid again.

Link?

trichoplax

TNBDE

It won't show the most recent messages, only those up until last time it was synced, but for old messages it's handy

Zachary T

Help. I don't SQL.

trichoplax

It's a great time to learn :)

Search TNBDE in chat to find lots of example queries to learn from

chat.stackexchange.com/search?q=tnbde&room=240

There may even be one that does pretty much what you want already

Zachary T

Dennis' userid?

HyperNeutrino

TNBDE died

Zachary T

9:39 PM

???

Phoenix

Since El'Endia left TNB, TNBDE has been outdated.

trichoplax

I'm pretty sure it's up to date enough to look up when Dennis joined

Phoenix

Yep

@StephenS That's great

Apparantly Dennis has a site called redtwitz.com

I just wonder where archive.org gets all of its disk space from

:38437624 Downvote?

HyperNeutrino

no

trichoplax

New answers don't need to be winning in order to be posted, as long as someone put effort into it

Phoenix

9:49 PM

But if it's basically the same answer...

HyperNeutrino

it's not though

it's just the same language

Zachary T

Okay, I give up. WTF am I doing wrong

SELECT *

FROM "transcriptAnalyzer_username"

WHERE name = "Dennis"

ORDER BY name DESC

LIMIT 10;

HyperNeutrino

Good question. I did SELECT * FROM "transcriptAnalyzer_username" WHERE user_id = 37160 and it gave nothing.

:o Dennis was a chat user since 4/20 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

ok i'm done being stupid <-- actually not possible

dzaima

I did
SELECT *
FROM "transcriptAnalyzer_message"
WHERE user_id = 331
ORDER BY mid ASC
LIMIT 100

HyperNeutrino

That works. 331 exists for whatever reason.

Zachary T

9:57 PM

Wait ... was this his first message? chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/15319277#15319277

dzaima

possibly

Zachary T

o_o. My theory's busted.

HyperNeutrino

Why is this a thing ಠ_ಠ

@ZacharyT what was your theory
