@DJMcMayhem Mark it as "disputed".

o_O

I'm pretty sure they can

A: What is a disputed flag?

A disputed flag is whenever your flag was dismissed as neither helpful nor declined, or someone reviewed your flag but no conclusive action was taken. This is intended for use in cases where the validity of a flag is ambiguous. Currently, the following scenarios result in a flag being disputed:...

@wizzwizz4 @WheatWizard

Two 'W' pings haha

@DJMcMayhem I only see "helpful" or "declined". :-/

My site doesn't have enough activity to test it right now.

But it says there is a "clear" option on red flags (spam or rude/abusive)

Q: Generate a Kolakoski sequence

Definition1 A Kolakoski sequence is a self-describing infinite sequence {kn} of alternating blocks of 1's and 2's, given by the following rules: k0 = 1 kn = the length of the (n+1)'th block The Task Given a positive integer n, generate the first n elements of the Kolakoski se...

@DJMcMayhem a bit different :p

and yes the M means "mini" try it and you'll probably see why...at least in non-esoteric ones

here I'm asking for [n]th term not for [:n]th terms

in python I can do in 69 for example

Bash is annoying

CMC: Given two input strings, get a string with the highest code points from the zipped strings. For example: "abcdefg", "gfedcba" -> "gfedefg".

*bad wording, meh

@Mr.Xcoder As in the max() of each corresponding char-pair?

Anyone know a bit of bash?

@Adám Yes

@2EZ4RTZ Definitely not me

NVM I FIXE

PRAISE THE <insert deity here>

7:56 PM

You cannot return as a list of characters.

As I don't think anyone is using Pyth here, 6 bytes: smeSdC. I think I can shave off 1 byte though

@Mr.Xcoder Except if you lang has no other strings than that, right?

@Adám Yes, of course.

@Mr.Xcoder Can we assume the lengths are the same?

@DJMcMayhem I'd say yes

It'll suck in V, but I'll try it

7:57 PM

@Mr.Xcoder Haskell, 11 bytes: zipWith max

oh wow, so... descriptive

@Mr.Xcoder K, 4 bytes: `c$|

A language I have never heard of... well done

Explanation: cast the max to char

Pyth, 6 bytes too: seMSMC

7:59 PM

@Mr.Xcoder K is an APL that is specially optimized for economic databases.

It's like, the first version or so?

@Mr.Xcoder Huh, what?

Nevermind

@Mr.Xcoder btw, I love your new avatar.

@Mr.Xcoder Husk, 2 bytes: z▲

8:01 PM

@Mr.Xcoder V, 16 bytes: Try it online!

@Adám Thanks! I really like the penrose triangle

@Laikoni wow, husk is really the new jelly

@EriktheOutgolfer Sakura, 25 bytes: Ͱ[1²2]Mr2⓪Ͱ#ͱ@:₊%⓪2ᵢͱ⓪ᵢͱ⓪

It's exactly the same as the Haskell answer, but the functions are just one byte.

Wow

@Laikoni Nice. However, I'm surprised if no golfing lang allows taking the max of two chars and returning a char.

8:02 PM

It tends to be really short lately

@Adám Pyth does allow the max of two chars, and it's still 6 bytes

@Mr.Xcoder why? It doesn't vectorize?

@Adám Yes, and there is no "max built-in". You have to map + Sort and map + end

@Mr.Xcoder wow, a golf lang without max‽

Yes, eS FTW :-/

end-sorted just in case

#!/usr/bin/env bash
while read -r line
do
	echo $line > board_file.txt
    ./fc-solve board_file.txt | tail -n 1 | grep "[[:digit:]][[:digit:]]*" >> num.txt | echo '\n' >> num.txt
done < p.txt

is there any reason that script would stop saving output?

8:08 PM

The fun fact is that only 1 byte is needed in order to generate ['ac', 'bb', 'ca']... 5 more bytes to do the job

@Mr.Xcoder J, 10 bytes: >.&.(3&u:)

nice

Explanation: Max under char-to-val

Another 6-byter: seRSRC

@Mr.Xcoder APL, 14 bytes: ⊃⎕UCS¨⌈/⎕UCS¨⎕

8:13 PM

> , bytes

Yeah, lots o'them.

A lot of rectangles and UCSs

Yup, rightmost one is get STDIN, next ⎕UCS¨ convert each char-to-val, ⌈/ max across (pairwise), ⎕UCS¨ convert each val-to-char, ⊃ disclose, because / encloses.

Lol, Python is soo short, 20 bytes: lambda*c:map(max,*c)... If I must join (not sure), then it gets longer: lambda*c:"".join(map(max,*c))

Gotta go. Bye all! o/

@Mr.Xcoder map is iterable so should be enough, unless strings are wanted.

8:17 PM

@wizzwizz4 Yes, I asked for strings, that's why I added join

Lol it's my CMC... Forgot

So cool; next week I'll lead an official 3 hour codegolf hackathon. IRL. Can't wait.

@Mr.Xcoder SOGL, 10 bytes: ¹I{∑:R_>Wp with input expected on the stack

@Adám You caught my attention in the last second. "codegolf hackathon"... What?

@Mr.Xcoder dyalog.com/user-meetings/dyalog17/workshops.htm#TP03

:o

8:24 PM

A: Do any of you golf for a living?

Yes, I do! I work for Dyalog. Part of my work is "spreading the word", and that officially includes code-golfs. In fact, our APL team is looking to hire, and we are more interested in golfers than regular programmers, as the former are more likely to have the right mindset. At least one active ...

@Mr.Xcoder Aren't you leaving? Real life calls... :-)

@Adám Are any of your colleagues part of PPCG too?

@wizzwizz4 No, I was about to leave because I was bored and then I suddenly found smth interesting on TV and I though I can stay around rather than sleeping

in APL, Aug 23 at 21:17, by Adám

@Zacharý They don't chat, but marinus, lstefano and ngn are active APL contributors on PPCG.

Yeah, marinus used to be very active

@Mr.Xcoder We just hired him.

8:26 PM

oh lol

in APL, Aug 23 at 21:18, by Adám

… together with Cowsquack, BBinWNY, Gil and MorisZucca.

Wait.... Cows Quack works for APL :o

Cowsquack doesn't work for us (yet!), but BBinQNY is my manager, and Gil MorizZucca and lstefano work for our customers.

@Adám That's just mean. Are you trying to make TNB unactive? :-p

@wizzwizz4 Sorry? I don't get it.

8:28 PM

@Adám At least Cowsquack used to be reasonably active here.

@wizzwizz4 Maybe he does write-ups for Tetris?

(By "at least" I mean it numerically.)

Well

> Last seen Aug 13 at 19:19

@wizzwizz4 He wanted to come to our office (he lives fairly close to one), but his parents want him to focus on school.

sad ^

8:29 PM

@Adám Good plan.

For some reason, employers want qualifications to prove skills.

And not actual evidence of skills.

I suppose evidence of skills can't be grepped for, but qualifications can.

brb playing contact

Or maybe not

@Mr.Xcoder Michael Baas is also on PPCG, but just observing for now.

Wonder why Cows Quack didn't come over for over 3 weeks now...

> over for over

@Mr.Xcoder Probably following his parents' advice – or didn't and got his web privileges suspended.

Ugh, both scenarios are quite harsh

Anyway, school starts in 1 week :c - You prolly won't see me next to Dennis in the quarter leaderboard anymore

Hopefully I'll be able to come over, at least now and then

@Adám Talking about my new profile picture... I have the exact same triangle but with yellow instead. Which one would you prefer?

This is the yellow version

Nah, the blue one is better, nvm

8:39 PM

@Mr.Xcoder The blue one looks much better.

I think so too - Nah, the blue one is better

Especially as long as PPCG has standard beta blue...

Mhm, hopefully that will change (soon)

It also suits chat better

(at least the nineteenth byte)

@Mr.Xcoder Yeah right, when Alice gets her jam.

@Adám citation-needed </sarcasm>

8:42 PM

Jam tomorrow or jam to-morrow (older spelling) is an expression for a never-fulfilled promise. It originates from Lewis Carroll's 1871 book Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There. This is a pun on a mnemonic for the usage of iam in Latin (note i/j conflation in Latin spelling), which means “now”, but only in the future or past tense, not in the present (which is instead nunc). In the book the White Queen offers Alice "jam every other day" as an inducement to work for her: "I'm sure I'll take you with pleasure!" the Queen said. "Two pence a week, and jam every other day." Alice couldn...

I would substitute when Alice gets her jam with When Mr. Xcoder finishes Cthulhu.

@Mr.Xcoder Or when Adám finishes KuoteKuote.

Another language?

@Mr.Xcoder Well, it isn't much of a language yet, as much as an attempt to reserve the name ''.

oh

8:47 PM

@Mr.Xcoder I really wanted to make a golfing APL, but I simply don't know how to.

I have made consistent progress with Cthulhu, but the github repo is badly outdated

@Mr.Xcoder See? But Alice, she's still waiting patiently.

Whilst I made some progress, the interpreter architecture is not written yet, which is quite bad...

brb checking the results of ipho

Now really gtg. O/

Me too, I'll be busy this week preparing three presentations and the code golf hackathon: \o/

9:05 PM

Isn't APL a golfing APL? :P

@DJMcMayhem Why was I kicked????

Wtf you came in kicked/trashed me and left

@2EZ4RTZ Didn't leave. DJMcMayhem is still in the room.

except AssertionError as e:

@wizzwizz4 but inactive. It makes no sense

When you know you've done something wrong.

@2EZ4RTZ There's a policy not to discuss suspensions whilst the users are suspended (which doesn't apply here)... but it's more likely that DJMcMayhem is just busy at the minute and will reply soon.

@wizzwizz4 suspensions????

I was talking about the GLAT

9:34 PM

@2EZ4RTZ Almost completely unrelated to kicking.

I was just musing about possible reasons.

I know.

Some clarifications: DJM is not inactive. This was a kick, not a suspension. The policy actually says that reasons for kicks should be explained when warranted to move on the conversation.

I think it may have been that it's an aptitude test, and that constitutes "cheating", but I don't know.

@mınxomaτ Sorry for the confusion.

Calm down. I was still here, I just had other things going on at the moment, give me a minute to respond before complaining

@DJMcMayhem srry. So why was I kicked?

You asked that already. Now it is time to wait.

9:38 PM

Ok

I realize the wording was bad. It sounded like I was trying to cheat but in reality I was wanting to see how people would fill it out.

I also realized I copy-pasted my real email and not a public email XD

@2EZ4RTZ I kicked you because you have been using "CMCs" to get people to do work for you. That's called being a help-vampire and it's not appreciated in TNB. Asking for help is one thing.

I didn't bother to click the link this time, but answer this link for me sounds a lot like help-vampiring

LegionMammal978

Anyone here play E:D?

@DJMcMayhem sorry. I wasn't trying to help-vampire. It was just a interesting test to read (and rather short) and I wanted to see how people answered If i wanted answers when I look up the test (not even with the word answers) the first result is the answers.

I only have 1 cmc where I was trying to get people to do work for me (and I realize that is out of line) I did try to push it on others and that was majorly out of line. Sorry.

CMC: Given a list of positive integers, find the arithmetic mean of the arithmetic means of its prefixes. [1,2,3,4,5] -> [[1], [1, 2], [1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3, 4], [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]] -> [1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0] -> 2.0

@DJMcMayhem Also you should definitely read the link it is really funny

9:46 PM

@Mr.Xcoder Pyth, 7 bytes: .O.OM._ - Gotta love the cute faces O.O

@Mr.Xcoder Husk 9 bytes Som§/LΣtḣ. No mean builtin, prefix builtin inccludes empty list.

YES, Pyth finally beats husk!

Without a built-in Pyth would be much longer XD

So is a cool trick though

@H.PWiz What trick?

The two first letters of my solution

9:51 PM

Like I really know Husk :p

Ummm

Magic Octopus Urn

05AB1E - 6bytes Try it online!

How does 05AB1E not have an average command

Sofgx translates roughly to to f(g(f,x))

:O 6 bytes without average... I was trying to solve it now but

but...

@Mr.Xcoder Jelly, 5 bytes: ḣJÆm⁺

Magic Octopus Urn

So brutal: g(THE LIST)Os/ is average for a single list.

9:54 PM

@MagicOctopusUrn You have to get the mean of tio.run/##MzBNTDJM/f8/3efcdv9i/f//ow11jHSMdUx0THXMYgE

@Dennis Way more clever than what I thought of...

Magic Octopus Urn

Oh, then no way 05AB1E wouldeven be competitive.

It'd be 4 bytes if 05AB1E had a mean command.

@Dennis I suppose ÆmƤÆm would work too

Right, forgot about Ƥ.

Hehe. It's still 5 bytes though

10:43 PM

Q: Why was I suspended from chat?

I've seen way too many of these questions to know they don't often go well but... the chatiquette says I'm allowed to ask. :P I recently (few hours ago, I think) received a suspension from chat for 30 days. I'm quite confused as to why. I did get suspended for a week a few weeks ago. I was told ...
