CMC: Given positive integer n, return number of n-tuples of non-negative integers whose dot product with (1,2,...,n) is n.

Mr. Xcoder

Pyth doesn't have dot product :-/

dzaima

@Mr.Xcoder I guess now SOGL could be added to TIO as I don't plan on making more everything breaking features and the developments slowed down a lot. But the bigger problem is that Dennis couldn't get Processing to run on TIO

Leaky Nun

@Mr.Xcoder pyth.herokuapp.com/…

Mr. Xcoder

Correct me if I am wrong: The dot product of two lists is the sum of the product of corresponding elements. For instance $[a,b,c] \cdot [e,f,g] = ae+bf+cg$ (not sure about the notation)

Leaky Nun

@Mr.Xcoder yes

Mr. Xcoder

@LeakyNun Test case?

Leaky Nun

@Mr.Xcoder don't have any now :)

Mr. Xcoder

The CMC can easily become a main challenge, as it's not trivial

CMC: Given an integer $n$ and a list $x$, sum the products of each element in the list with $n$

3, [1,2,3] -> 18

muddyfish

@EriktheOutgolfer yes?

Erik the Outgolfer

wait what's the builtin for pokemon? ~_?

or ~{?

muddyfish

@EriktheOutgolfer It's doing a lookup in the dictionary for a word. Basically ~_ stores the offset for pokemon and ~{ the number of them

Distance to the sun right now

Erik the Outgolfer

11:40 AM

maybe add "date of next eclipse" too?

Q: Maximize combined value of 4 neighboring cells on a hex grid

You are provided with an MxN array of values which represent cells laid out on a hex grid in a way that the first hex cell in a row is always connected to the second with its lower right side. For example, this 5x3 input array: 300 410 150 55 370 120 185 440 190 450 165 70 95 420 50 rep...

Erik the Outgolfer

who's to say that he hasn't copied the testcases?

Leaky Nun

this is very strange

I'm clicking this button and it acts as if that button has been clicked

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
root = Tk()
root.title("IMO 2010 Problem 5")
mainframe = ttk.Frame(root)
mainframe.grid(column=0, row=0, sticky=(N, W, E, S))

coins=[]
for i in range(6):
	coins.append(IntVar())
	coins[i].set(1)
buttons1 = []
buttons2 = []
states = [['disabled'],['!disabled']]

def operate(a,b):
	print(a,b)
	temp = coins[b].get()-1
	coins[b].set(temp)
	if temp == 0:
		buttons1[b].state(['disabled'])
		buttons2[b].state(['disabled'])
	if a == 1:
		temp = coins[b+1].get()+2

can anyone with python 3 confirm that the buttons on each row act the same?

@EriktheOutgolfer

Erik the Outgolfer

@LeakyNun they're acting somewhat weird

dzaima

@EriktheOutgolfer Seems like so, this 62 days ago contains the same test cases

Leaky Nun

1:31 PM

@EriktheOutgolfer does my description match?

Erik the Outgolfer

there isn't any "description"?

when I click any button the two buttons on the 4th column get disabled

Leaky Nun

@EriktheOutgolfer ok, thanks

Erik the Outgolfer

on every button click the fourth number gets decremented

and the fifth number acts weird

actually when I click on a 1 the fifth number gets incremented by 2 and when I click on a 2 the 5th and 6th numbers get swapped

1:49 PM

My old S7 and S5 had a bunch of problems, but that might not apply to the S8

Erik the Outgolfer

hint: S8 battery === Note 7 battery

Riley

The fingerprint scanner on the back is way cooler than I thought it would be. I thought I would miss a physical button on the front to turn it on, but you can double tap the screen to wake.

mınxomaτ

I currently have an S7. Before that a Note 3. If it was available in the EU, I would buy a Note 7 Fan Edition (the non-exploding one). Not because I like Samsung, but it never really let me down. The Pixel is in my list because of latest stock android without flashing (my banking app doesn't work on custom ROMS). I ran the first Google Pixel ROM on my S7.

Riley

The battery is pretty good. I use it heavily throughout the day and occasionally have to charge it after 12-14 hours.

mınxomaτ

@Riley Oh neat. How snappy is the UI? Compared to the S7 that is.

Riley

1:53 PM

Its performance is significantly better. I've never noticed anything taking longer that it should.

CMC: Given positive integer n, return number of n-tuples of non-negative integers whose dot product with (1,2,...,n) is n.

@mınxomaτ I like that it uses USB-C, but if you already have a bunch of old chargers it's something to think about.

Looks like the S8 uses USB-C too. I didn't even look at it because I knew I didn't want a Samsung.

Leaky Nun

@Mr.Xcoder which makes it equal to the partition number...

don't most PCs/motherboards these days come with a USB-C port on them anyway?

i know mine does

DJMcMayhem

2:02 PM

I've never seen one.

Not even sure why that would be useful

Riley

@NickClifford Do you mean USB 3?

mınxomaτ

@NickClifford Most MSI mobos have USB-C

It's getting very common (like it should)

DJMcMayhem

TIL

@mınxomaτ Why would you want to plug a USB C into a Mobo?

mınxomaτ

I have a Xiaomi Mi Air and HP Spectre x360, both are USB-C

@DJMcMayhem Because it's the next USB standard? Many external things (e.g. an external HDD I have) have USB-C connectors.

For professional audio interfaces, USB-C devices carry Thunderbolt. Now you can connect all Thunderbolt things via USB-C.

DJMcMayhem

But why wouldn't you use A to C is more why I'm confused

Nick Clifford

2:06 PM

@DJMcMayhem iirc, you can get external SSDs that use USB-C since the transfer speeds are better than standard USB-A

mınxomaτ

@DJMcMayhem Having four standards (USB 1, 2, 3, 3.1, 3.1 + Thunderbolt) on USB A is a very bad idea. This just confuses the average consumer. USB-C is the new shiny thing were all other new shiny things are connected.

For what it's worth, MSI's USB 3.1 motherboards usually have both a USB A and USB C connector for USB 3.1

Riley

@DJMcMayhem And it's reversible. I didn't know they were doing this, but I like it.

Nick Clifford

i think part of it is also manufacturers trying to encourage adoption of USB-C

TIL (while researching potential notations for APL matrices etc.):

Triple parentheses

The use of triple parentheses or triple brackets, also known as an (((echo))), is an antisemitic symbol that has been used to highlight the names of individuals of a Jewish background. The practice originated from the far-right blog The Right Stuff; the blog's editors have explained that the symbol is meant to symbolize that the historic actions of Jews had caused their surnames to "echo throughout history." The triple parentheses have been adopted as an online stigma by antisemites, neo-Nazis, and white nationalists to identify individuals of Jewish background as targets for online harassment...
