ah ok
 
But I think I won't ever leave PPCG
 
lol there's a non-zero probability that I will disappear from PPCG for longer and longer periods of time next year and more so in the future but never forever (unless they delete my account again and don't give it back; then I'll just make an account, post an angry MSE post, and leave lol)
 
The OP of the new off-topic question is Romanian, I can tell by his username
 
It's not really off-topic, it just needs a little editing help.
 
> After much work I have O(n) solution but is there more efficient way?
 
7:02 PM
I think he thinks this is stack overflow or something
 
That's for SO ^^
 
Asking for how to improve an algorithm to a faster time complexity or how to golf a code is on-topic here.
 
@AdmBorkBork It's not tagged
 
well, still should be clarified then, still close-worthy ;)
 
No, he has a working solution, that's not SO
 
7:03 PM
@AdmBorkBork CR?
 
Nope, here.
 
@AdmBorkBork As you wish
CMC: Given an array of positive integers, remove all the Fibonacci numbers it contains
 
Any first-post that isn't tagged code-golf is almost certainly off-topic.
 
although at least it should be properly tagged, e.g.
also what language?
 
7:05 PM
@HyperNeutrino <insert look of approval>
 
you love powershell don't you?
 
@Mr.Xcoder well it's true
 
@EriktheOutgolfer Was that rhetorical?
 
Okx
@Mr.Xcoder Neim, 3 bytes - Σf𝕚
 
@Okx Wow
 
7:06 PM
@Mr.Xcoder s/rhe/his
 
Neim is the new Jelly or sth
 
Okx
thanks <3
it's basically useless with strings though
 
SBCS is wicked
 
@EriktheOutgolfer Whatever gave you that impression?
;-)
 
@AdmBorkBork ಠ_ಠ... Aka: "Was that rhetorical?"

Q: Non-integer bases

martinDescription: A non-integer representation of a number uses non-integer numbers as the bases of a positional numbering system. e.g. Using the golden ratio (the irrational number 1 + √5/2 ≈ 1.61803399 symbolized by the Greek letter φ) as its base, the numbers 1 to 10 can be written: Decimal Powe...

Q: How to query for sub-arrays with same frequency of two values?

Bogdan IonWe are given array and two values x and y and we want to find number of subarrays that have frequency of x equal to frequency of y. After much work I have O(n) solution but is there more efficient way?

 
@AdmBorkBork at the very least I do know my history ;)
 
Neim follows that same Rule 110.5 as Mathematica
 
@BusinessCat Does it at least have a builtin for concatenation (i.e. take two numbers, concatenate, return a number)
 
I have no idea

7:10 PM
@Mr.Xcoder Linux, enough bytes: rm rf
 
Are my CMCs abundant / annoying ?
 
@Mr.Xcoder Yes and no
 
Okx
no because i always win them
@Mr.Xcoder Σ - keep elements in the list where the result is 0, f - push infinite fibonacci list, 𝕚 - check that the input is in the lsit
 
@Mr.Xcoder well here's a 5-byte jelly version: ḟJÆḞ$
too bad JÆḞ⁸ḟ and JÆFḟ@ are 5 bytes too
 
Then I should post more
 
7:12 PM
keep it at a constant rate
 
@Mr.Xcoder Write a bot to do it for you
 
@totallyhuman I kept it at a constant rate so far AFAIK
 
yeah so far it's fine
 
CMC: Given a list of positive integers, determine whether or not the number of fibonacci numbers in the list multiplied by the length of the list is a square number
 
@HyperNeutrino That could easily be a main q
 
7:15 PM
@HyperNeutrino Chameleon CMC
 
hm
seems oddly arbitrary though
 
But I'll try to solve it though
 
too many things chained together
 
[2, 5, 7, 9] -> True
[1, 3, 5, 8] -> False
 
not very unique imo
 
7:15 PM
I know
That's why it's only going to be a CMC
Mostly a language functionality test for chaining builtins together

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Step HenStream of Letters to Words code-golf string natural-language Given a string containing only letters (case-insensitive), split it into words of uniformly random lengths, using the distribution below, with the exception of the last word, which can be of any valid length (1-10). Your output is the...

 
@totallyhuman I personally like it, since it requires you do be able to do several different things, like count the bijection of two lists, and stuff like that
Please read ^^

7:20 PM
nice
 
So @HyperNeutrino I heard you abandoned Anyfix. How come?
 
@MDXF Anyfix notation is a pain to use, and any attempts at fixing it will just make a trash version of Jelly :P
 
... isn't its entire purpose its painful notation?
:P
 
tbf even jelly's notation is painful
there's a reason it's esoteric :P
 
Its purpose is golfing, which isn't achieved by it because it's just Jelly with a bunch of missing features and a bunch of extra tokens required :P
 
7:26 PM
even ,,, is boring now that I think about it
i mean even if i did make it to be able to be beat jelly (:O)
 
@HyperNeutrino Eh... oh well, it was your first language attempt. Mine was worse
 
lol xD
 
it's just another golf lang
it's not particularly interesting
 
Sounds like none of my languages
oh wait no shortC
 
unfortunately i can't think of any interesting language ideas
 
7:28 PM
2d lang?
 
that's also been done to death though
 
There are plenty of shapes that are not used
Try doing one that has a circular playing field

Q: Codebreakers and Codewriters

Wheat WizardLet's say you have some text, and you want it to send it to your friend, but you don't want anyone else to read it. That probably means you want to encrypt it so that only you and your friend can read it. But, there is a problem: you and your friend forgot to agree on an encryption method, so i...

Can someone submit anything...
 
Is there What a programming lang that has a builtin for converting input from base x to base y?
 
jelly
:P
 
man i'm still amazed by how short Jelly's actual implementation is
 
@CensoredUsername Can you link me?
@CensoredUsername I'll understand the python better than Jelly
 
7:43 PM
(that was unrelated, was just browsing Jelly's source code
while working on my own lang)
 
@totallyhuman No, to that spot in the code (the implementation)
 
oh the base conversion is weird
hang one
i believe it's called to_base
 
> hang one
 
@CensoredUsername 2565 lines of code...

CMC: Golf Jelly.py
 
@totallyhuman cool, thanks
 
brb running it through my python minifier
 
@Mr.Xcoder as in, hang one <second> /s
 
(Chat-Mega-Challenge)
 
@Mr.Xcoder Does Jelly have an "eval as Jelly" builtin?
 
7:46 PM
@Mr.Xcoder holy crap that is so old
 
@StepHen Irrelevant?
@MDXF For new chatters
 
@Mr.Xcoder yeah but it doesn't even stand for that. CMC = Chat-Made Challenge
 
@MDXF That's chat-mini-challenge ಠ_ಠ
 
/shrug
 
@MDXF No, it's Chat Makes Challenges
 
7:47 PM
Darn. new laptop, no userscript
 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Q: Use letters to make numbers shorter

pudilityChallenge Take a number and output it with 4 digits or less using letters and numbers. For example; 270,030 would turn into 270K. Key Billion -> B Million -> M Thousand -> K Rules You may choose to accept input numbers that include commas delimiting every three decimal places (such as 123...

 
ok I've got a week off of work and I want to make the best of it, i.e. waste it all on code golf. Any new challenges to answer in my esolangs?
 
CMC: Given a list, return all the composite numbers it contains
 
@Mr.Xcoder Change my -match to -notmatch in the previous one where you asked for primes
 
@AdmBorkBork 1 is neither prime nor composite.
So it's not a perfect complement of that challenge
 
Btw, where did the bork meme come from?
 
7:51 PM
Robert Heron Bork (March 1, 1927 – December 19, 2012) was an American judge and legal scholar who advocated the judicial philosophy of originalism. Bork served as a Yale Law School professor, President Nixon's Solicitor General, Acting Attorney General, and a judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. It was during his tenure as Solicitor General that he obeyed Nixon's order to fire the Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox, who was investigating the Watergate break-in. In 1987, President Ronald Reagan nominated him to the Supreme Court, but the U.S. Senate rejected...
 
Okx
@Mr.Xcoder Neim, 2 bytes - Σ𝐌
 
@Okx 1 is not composite.
 
@Mr.Xcoder Well, that's just because you're not starting your lists at 2 :p
 
@Okx Why is Neim suddenly so short? New PR?
 
@Mr.Xcoder You're asking the type of questions it's built for?
 
7:52 PM
Oh btw @StepHen congrats on 3k
 
@Mr.Xcoder it's always been short
 
NVM
 
Okx
@Mr.Xcoder no it's always been this short?
 
Ok, NVM
 
@MDXF Might wanna check out what carried me here :P and thanks
 
7:53 PM
Taxis
Great rides
 
I mean, technically, the previous version won't work, because I assumed only positive integers in the list, but your wording could have negatives or even non-integers.
 
@totallyhuman 0/10 Uber is better
 
@AdmBorkBork You may receive any integer this time, the wording was intentional
 
@Mr.Xcoder You need to clarify your stance on the opposites of primes then
 
7:55 PM
But the list could contain pi, for example, which will barf the regex-style algorithm I used
 
'course, that was like my third answer
 
Because string multiplication by a non-positive-integer is undefined and breaks.
 
@MDXF Except it took four hours instead of ten minutes
 
Ten minutes >.< try ten seconds
but yeah, yours was more deserved
 
Revised CMC: Given a list of integers, return all the numbers that are composite
7 bytes (Pyth): f>lPT1Q
 
7:57 PM
@MDXF I read a bit more on that, it's really interesting that some guy involved in Watergate gave his last name to a verb
 
@StepHen Weird
Btw how could I make one of my languages accept Unicode characters but only have them count as one byte
 
I wonder if that's where the Swedish Chef got it from, because I took my name from him.
@MDXF Are you talking a code page, like what Jelly uses?
 
@MDXF You mean a custom encoding, like Jelly has?
ninja'd really badly there
 
Okx
@HyperNeutrino how is [2, 5, 7, 9] true?
 
Yeah
