I'm working on the socratic badge, so I'll post the cop at 23:50 UTC, and the robber at 0:00 UTC. XD

@DJMcMayhem Tell me when you post your CNR, I've been thinking about it and I'm really excited for it now.

Q: The redundant boolean

GravitonIntroduction Classically, booleans are one bit; true or false, 1 or 0. Leading zeros would just be redundant. For example, 001 means the same as 00001 or just 1. The 32-bit boolean Given a truthy/falsey value, output the equivalent 32-bit boolean as a string. (Or as a number if for some reason...

whoops i linked to an answer
 
@totallyhuman Maybe posting 3 minutes earlier makes all the difference...
 
maybe
but hey i'm not complaining i got 140 rep from that question
i'm planning on trying brainfuck but division is a pain...
maybe generating the range might be easier..?

I uh, accidentally solved the challenge.

@totallyhuman
 
Oh welp there go my upvotes
Nice job though
 
I was just trying to make it generate a range, and due to a mistake, somewhere, it solved the challenge instead.
 
That's way golfier than I would've ended up with lol
@ATaco happens all the time, is natural
 
#WelcomeToBrainfuck
 
I need a challenge that is simple but will get me 20 upvotes a day for the next year. Any ideas?

Well that was fast
 
Wait for NMP
:P
@Christopher ask why
 
@totallyhuman Why?
Hehe double ontonda

I'm not a big fan either

@ATaco Cry me a river. Tired of negative votes on all my posts

/shrug then you should get used to the downvotes
 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i have
 
assert(cake.have ^ cake.eat)
 
@ATaco what should I have done with my question?
 
I have no idea, I suck at writing questions.
 
I believe you said sandbox it. :P
I sent you a link
 
1:27 AM
I saw, and I saw that the sandbox wasn't positive in favour of posting it.
Which should have been a good warning sign.
 
I post lots of things in the sandbox, and I end up deleting quite a few of them. I don't see that as a bad thing - it just helps me filter my ideas.
 
I don't sandbox anything, post it and monkey patch it as it goes, it works out usually.
 
I sandbox and monkey patch
still does not work :P
 
I possibly go too far the other way. I've had posts in the sandbox for years before posting...
 
I think what i do works only because I have a few ideals I stick to when writing challenges.
 
1:32 AM
Brainbrain brainfuck fuckfuck
Somebody complete the cycle
 
@totallyhuman you missed a fuckbrain
 
No Chameleon Challenges: Make the challenge entirely about solving a problem, everything else should be as forgiving as possible.
No Unobservable Conditions: A challenge should be defined entirely by what goes into it and what comes out of it. What happens inside isn't the challenges problem (Except for Restricted Source, In some cases...)
K.I.S.S: Keep it Simple Stupid; You should know what needs to be done exactly after the first paragraph, everything else should be for clarification and convenience, not specifics.
 
@totallyhuman I hope you're not trying to trick someone else into getting kicked :P
 
1:38 AM
I was afraid I'd get kicked for that
 
so what other things could I make for a koth
maybe something about voxels
 
@DJMcMayhem notice me dj senpai lol
 
@ConorO'Brien Sorry, bad timing. I'll get to it within the hour probably
 
oh ok thx
 
2:01 AM
i still have the emoji button tacoscript 😂
 
Hey can someone check if this is valid? I've never done CnR before so I don't know if this is allowed.
 
@HyperNeutrino that seems completely fine to me :P
 
yay lol
 
omg that's amazing XD
 
^^
 
2:05 AM
what is
 
your crack
 
oh yay people liked it :D
 
its so ingenious, and @WheatWizard thought it was doing a really good job stopping you :P
 
lol
I wonder why it took me so long to do it
 
he could avoid it by making a new one to delete that function :P
 
2:06 AM
I thought of it and I'm like "nah that won't work"
@ConorO'Brien yeah but too late :3 lol
 
@ConorO'Brien yup that's what I was thinking
but the damage is done :P
@HyperNeutrino now crack my obscure esolang :P
 
He'd also have to remember os.sys because sys is pretty much the same thing as os.sys
 
@DJMcMayhem I'll assume it's ok that the first have a syntax error, since wheat wizard's is like that
 
@StepHen will look into it lol
 
@ConorO'Brien uh it's not supposed to...
 
2:07 AM
  File ".code.tio", line 5

             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
from wheat wizard's own cnr, approved by the Dj himself
:P
 
@ConorO'Brien This code is not allowed to crash or exit.
 
therefore wheat wizard's submission is invalid
 
my first try involved looking through dir(everything), dir(), dir(dir), dir(()), dir([]), dir(`[]`), etc, but none of that made any sense.
 
@ConorO'Brien I agree, unless it runs without error in some environment I don't know about
 
@ConorO'Brien Yes, that's true. I'll address that on the post I'm an hour or so
 
2:09 AM
uh oh D: hopefully I don't have to delete my solution. I mean, he could just delete the last line and change 4 to 3 and then I remove the first line of my solution
 
Really terrible timing tbh
 
rip
don't pressure yourself
 
First snippet being allowed to error out really changes the challenge imo
Since you can almost make it "make the second snippet do this and actually run"
 
@DJMcMayhem Should I delete my Jelly cop-side post?
 
@HyperNeutrino Wait til it all gets clarified
 
2:12 AM
k
 
I still can't get over how perfect some of the Interstellar music is
 
@HyperNeutrino If you want to. You could also let it get cracked
 
Alright. It shouldn't take too long; I mean, the solution is literally staring you in the face once you see the crack (unless someone else figures out another cool solution)
 
@HyperNeutrino Why? It doesn't error out when you run just the first snippet (I believe)
 
I already wrote the crack :P
 
2:14 AM
:o
@StepHen because I'm restricting the code to have no newlines
@DJMcMayhem will you post it? lol
 
@HyperNeutrino Do newlines make it really easy to crack?
 
yes. If newlines are allowed, the solution is literally \n+
the newline just turns my snippet into another link and then it's ignored unless you call it lol
 
@HyperNeutrino And there's no way for you to easily prevent that?
 
nope
Well, actually, yes. Let me go fix that. I can just remove newlines from the source code lol
 
@DJMcMayhem Code has to match a hash? That cries loophole
 
2:20 AM
Actually, still can't fix that. If you put a newline there, it won't remove it because it won't run the code to remove it
There is literally no way, easy or not, that I can prevent someone from just sticking a newline after it and not running any of my breaking code.
So if my restriction is not allowed, then this challenge excludes Jelly completely.
I bet Jon Skeet would be able to make a way other than just banning it though. And Dennis.
Just saw this answer. Perfect language for rep bait. Well done, @StepHen, well done. :P
 
That is the correct answer.
 
@HyperNeutrino Yeah well, it took my four hours to make the original (look at the edit history), then EngineerToast cut my bytecount in half with actual golfed code. Thanks though, I spent an weekend afternoon on that :P
 
ah :P But yeah, it's pretty amazing regardless :P
Also, 4 hours? Amateur (/s). I spent 10 hours on this one :P (lol)
 
@HyperNeutrino Python error messages are nowhere close to as hard to debug as Taxi error messages :P I spent most of that time getting it working and writing my own sqrt function. The actual problem was fairly trivial.
 
ah yes true lol
 
2:29 AM
I'd rather spend lots of time writing a solution to a hard problem than writing a solution to an easy problem that is hard because of platform choice
 
you want a hard problem? Look at mine :)
 
:o
I don't know C to begin with lol
@StepHen yeah true. that's why I only like Jelly for the challenge. It's shorter, but usually a lot harder except when the challenge is really trivial lol
 
tfw you know this is going to be a good cnr :D
 
I knew it would be good when asked DJ 10+ questions about it this morning :)
 
is there a koth/codechallenge based on 2d sideview racing?
 
2:40 AM
@HyperNeutrino Oh, that's why TIO's Taxi usage was so high today...
 
Ok, I'm ready to answer stuff now
 
@Dennis you have language usage diagnostics?
 
@Dennis Sowwy
 
@DJMcMayhem Eh, you didn't have to delete your answer. You were the first to crack it.
@ConorO'Brien Not really. But since TIO made it on Hacker News, we've had some... issues and I've been keeping a closer eye on the servers than usual.
 
oh ok
 
2:42 AM
@Dennis Yeah, but I want to see your solution
And I don't mind anyway
 
It's just an if statement instead of the newline. Not out of this world.
 
@DJMcMayhem non-native integers someone's tired or on mobile
 
Dammit
@StepHen The latter
@WheatWizard Could you post your new code as a new answer instead?
 
@WheatWizard and make sure you account for os.sys like @HyperNeutrino said (if you have)
 
wait are you supposed to patch cracks?
 
2:53 AM
@totallyhuman not really
 
Aaargh, there's so many questions people have, and I don't have time to answer all of them on my phone this is stressing me out! :/
 
@DJMcMayhem Ok
@StepHen What is meant by that?
 
3:28 AM
@DJMcMayhem Just to check: byte count doesn't matter to robbers, yes?
 
Yes
 
curses himself for using yes in the question and is now confused
 
Hahaha
Byte count doesn't matter
 
Sweet, that means I can make my crack pretty.
7
Thanks.
 
Although it's weird that byte count doesn't matter to robbers, but it does in the safe snippet
 
3:34 AM
Not that weird. The cop pays a price for having a complicated solution. Whether the robber's solution is simple or complicated doesn't really matter.
 
That's a good way of putting it
 
Does anyone know a way I could prevent imports in python? I want to patch HyperNeutrino's crack
 
I don't know of a way
 
Or a better way I could break the language than setting the recursion limit low.
 
I really hope you find it though. Your answer looks awesome

Q: Preventing Python code from importing certain modules?

NirI'm writing an application where users can enter a python script and execute it in a sandbox. I need a way to prevent the exec'ed code from importing certain modules, so malicious code won't be as much of a problem. Is there a way to do this in Python?

@DJMcMayhem Hopefully its fixed now, I've disabled imports from os and sys

@Dennis Out-of-context quote for the day
 
CMC: Given an int array a, increment the first, fifth, ninth, etc element, decrement the third, seventh, eleven, etc element. E.g. 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 -> 1,0,-1,0,1,0,-1,0,1,0
 
@Phoenix Jelly, 5 bytes: Jı*Ċ+
 
@LeakyNun how does it work?
iirc Jelly uses _ for decrementing and it isn't present there.
 
Jı*Ċ+ z

Hey @Phoenix I kind of wrote a thing that makes installing tacoscripts easier.

@Dennis Glad to help :D
 
I feel safe in answering just about anything in the C&R because RProgN2 is a very poorly known language
 
4:49 AM
@Justin Found the answer. Yes it is valid
 
@ATaco Cool! Link?
< insert Zelda character >
 
@Justin Yes, that's valid
 
Would it be valid to restrict the language to, say, standard c++ (no extensions)?
 
What do you mean? No includes?
Freaking autocorrect man
 
@Justin except the problem being that there'd have to be non-standard behavior / undefined behavior, but I want to, e.g. say you can't use __attribute__ and other gcc extensions
 
5:01 AM
Usually we don't like language-specific challenges
 
@JanDvorak I know, but I'm talking about for an answer for the CnR challenge
 
@Justin I don't see why not
 
Languages are implementations, not specifications.

I use :wq
 
I don't save.

I don't exit vim
 
@ATaco no teamspirit.js?
 
5:12 AM
For two reasons, yes.
Firstly, it only appears in TNB, which makes implementing it along side a bunch of the others a pain. Secondly, it's not good.
The Projects page is also back up.
 
Neat
 
@Phoenix I usually use ctrl-s <Space>q
Custom key-bindings ftw!
 
When handling chat spam flags, what does "valid" vs "invalid" mean? 1: The flag is valid/invalid. 2: The message is valid/invalid
 
Okay, time to make a meta post about the ambiguity

Has anybody written something to compress Jelly numbers?
Never mind, I found one.
 
@Challenger5 where?
 
There's a script written in Jelly to do it.
There's a TIO link on the "tips for golfing in Jelly" page.
 
oh ok
 
8:50 AM
Also, is there a way to set an item in an array?
 
@Challenger5 there's a quick for operation on specific indices

Are there any languages optimized for writing interpreters?
 
I think?
 
@Challenger5 what interpreter do you want to write?
 
I want to write a program that will take an interpreter written in that language as input
Maybe some sort of rewriting system would work.
Ooh, maybe ShapeScript
 
the word "and" isn't in Jelly dictionary O_o @Dennis

what language should I use for my koth?
I mean I only program python but my last python koth didn't work out great
 
10:00 AM
That doesn't necessarily have to do with the language...
 
10:12 AM
yeah but tbh its a contributing factor
 
What other scoring format do languages use other than bytes? I know piet uses codels, is there anything else?
 
scratch tends to use blocks
 
@Cowsquack Will you be considering adding any other types to Carrot? For example, booleans?
@Cowsquack Or the ability to test for (truthy/falsey)ness?
 
10:36 AM
@DestructibleLemon scratch is not scored by blocks anymore
Minecraft is scored by blytes
Oh hey I got bronze number badge
 
11:15 AM
@LeakyNun the word "AND" is
 
@EriktheOutgolfer O_o
 
then you can do "AND", " AND", "aND" and " aND"
of course I don't really know whether any one of them is going to be useful...except maybe from the second one

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

That is, the graph induced by the points on a grid graph is...

 
12:51 PM
@JanDvorak I wouldn't worry about what page it's on - it's best to sort by active rather than votes. If it goes a week without getting upvotes but there isn't anything specified that you need to improve, just posting it in here usually helps (like you have...).
 
scribbles down "1 week -> chat" Thanks
 
We really really really need a way to see how many people have looked over a Sandbox post, like question views
Should we start putting a comment on each new Sandbox post that says "upvote this if you saw this"?
 
@TheLethalCoder A boolean stack existed in the earliest version of Carrot, but I have since removed it. If you see the TODO-list in the oldest issue in Carrot's GH repo, you can see that stackBool is a planned feature. But now, I am thinking of whether or not I should use the stack float instead for simplicity (in which case it would be 0 for false and 1 for true).
 
One more benefit of using questions as sandbox
 
@StepHen no
 
12:53 PM
@JanDvorak You know what, we just need a codegolf.sandbox.stackexchange.com site
Meta is not the place for Sandbox questions, but Sandboxed challenges make so much more sense as questions
 
@TheLethalCoder (and yes, equality testing is again a planned feature) Now what do you think would be better, having a separate stack type for booleans, or using stackFloat for that instead?
 
@Cowsquack Floats as bools seems fine too. If you're doing that though, would empty strings, arrays and regexes also be false with other's true? Or would you just be going for only floats as ints.
 
fourth level domain, really?
 
@Cowsquack I think floats as bools is fine really.
 
@JanDvorak Meta is codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com
Maybe we can get a separate Sandbox site for a graduation present
 
12:57 PM
I think the separate site idea got shot down when it was proposed.
By us, not the stack exchange team I mean anyway

A: Sandbox good for its own subdomain?

Grace NoteI'm Grace Note, a Community Manager at Stack Exchange. Originally, I was writing this answer explaining the mechanical issues with this idea. I won't bore with details, though, but in the long run, migration (and especially chain migration) is pretty messy and this would be a mess to implement. ...

 
@StepHen I know what you mean, but personally if I've taken the time to read a sandbox post, I've probably left a comment, and if I haven't, I haven't seen the views comment either.
 
Thanks for the review
 
You're welcome. The week guideline is just a rough estimate, by the way. Some people say a few days. It's just so that several people have a chance to see it, since the sandbox isn't viewed as much as main.
 
What are the chances of someone noticing once my question is on the third page of sandbox?
 
1:02 PM
@JanDvorak There are a few good souls who browse past the first page of active on Sandbox
 
Nice
 
@StepHen Hadn't seen that but I meant in one of the more recent meta posts about the sandbox
 
@TheLethalCoder Only floats as bools for now, but many of these subtler things, like falsey vs truthy strings, will have to be tested out in the wild in PPCG after I finish the rewrite
 
@JanDvorak Certainly slimmer... If in doubt, post it in here. Unless it's excessive, the number of days shouldn't really matter too much so just judge it for yourself
 
1:04 PM
Thanks
 
@JanDvorak This reminds me of realising how old the article I was reading was when it started referring to "weblogs" and "The Wikipedia"

@JanDvorak Well... Jon Skeet does work at Google, after all.

Q: Old Cordless Phone

Oh, it’s the ENABLE word list
( @MagicOctopusUrn that probably won't be free of expletives, but it's a very full list)
 
@trichoplax Interesting. First I've heard of ENABLE
 
@AdmBorkBork Sorry for the random ping - I mixed up your avatar with MagicOctopusUrn
 
I get that a lot
 
I thought that word list might be useful for the challenge
@StepHen thanks for picking up on my mistake - I wouldn't have noticed it without your intervention
