@DJMcMayhem I have 26 for positive integers
 
Anonymous
@wizzwizz4 I'm not sure what you're asking, then
 
@Mego I thought the facedesk was you saying that you had made a mistake in the byte count, but I think that you're right in the byte count.
 
Anonymous
@wizzwizz4 No, the facedesk was in reply to DJ trolling
 
Unless UTF-8 is required, which is an unusual rule.
@Mego Makes sense.
 
@DJMcMayhem I have a solution that supports all integers. Do we want to reveal byte counts now or later?
 
9:01 PM
Heh, we need a tag
 
You can reveal the count whenever you want
 
Anonymous
He was trolling because users of esolangs that use encodings other than ASCII and UTF-8 often get complaints about the byte counts of solutions in those languages from newer users who do not understand that there are other encodings than ASCII and UTF-8.
 
ugh why are Ubuntu PPAs so outdated
 
@H.PWiz I must be missing something because I have 46. for all integers. Let me see what I get for positive
 
Anonymous
I kinda forgot what I was typing in the middle of that message. I'm sleepy.
 
9:03 PM
Oh, nevermind then, I have 28 for positive
I might be able to golf a few more off though, lemme see...
 
@DJMcMayhem I have 46 for all integers aswell

@H.PWiz We probably have the same solution then, cause I just got down to 26
And it's pretty straightforward anyway, so I doubt there are very many different approaches
@Riley What do you have?
Hmm, I have an idea for the longer version...
 
It is necessary to download 445 MB from the archives. After unpacking, 298 MB will be used.
ubuntu pls
 
@DJMcMayhem 27 and 47
 
9:07 PM
o_O
Trailing newline?
 
-r
 
oh. Huh
 
@TuxCopter It doesn't say how much is deleted.
 
oh right
 
What does -r do?
 
9:08 PM
reveres the IO order
 
Oh.
 
So without -r, the TOS is the first input, with -r, the TOS is the last input
 
45 for all now.
@DJMcMayhem It also reverse the order that it's printed in.
 
True
 
(programming) Classes don't like it when you use a language that you have written yourself, and write a built-in for everything that they tell you to do.
Especially if it's a closed-source language.
 
9:12 PM
@Riley in input do you have 1 2 3 4 or 4 3 2 1 for [1,2,3,4]. I'm new to this
 
@H.PWiz 1 2 3 4
 
Ok
 
OK, I've given up. I'm ready to post solution whenever you are
(I'm very curious how Riley got 45)
 
I'm ready as well.
 
@wizzwizz4 So that's why my CS class doesn't let me use Java :P
 
9:16 PM
Ok, are there relevant docs for Brain-flak? Cause the wiki page seems to give some pre-made programs for a couple of things, not sure how one should write their own algorithm
 
@Mr.Xcoder The tutorial is on the README, the wiki is just useful snippets that make life easier
 
Wait, mine doesn't work in a few specific cases...
 
46 and 26
 
But this task doesn't really need most of those snippets
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing They don't let me use SkeetLang.
I mean, nothing.
 
9:17 PM
@DJMcMayhem oh, didn't catch that because I am on mobile. thanks!
 
I don't have access to SkeetLang.
 
@wizzwizz4 Let me guess, a language made around Jon Skeet?
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing By.
I don't have a copy... I didn't steal one.
 
@wizzwizz4 I'm pretty sure that's just C#
 
@Mr.Xcoder You can also ask in The Third Stack
 
9:19 PM
@DJMcMayhem will do if I ever really decide to learn it. Thanks for the reference!
 
Huh, what's with all the "X to JavaScript" compilers
 
No problem, always glad to help people learn one of my own languages. :D
 
@Mr.Xcoder How many languages are you learning ATM?
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing TIL that C# is cross-platform.
It's supposed to be portable.
 
9:20 PM
@cairdcoinheringaahing 1
 
Jelly and Husk makes 2
 
I am not really learning Jelly
 
@Mr.Xcoder Have you stopped JHT?
 
On GH there is Scala to JS, Ruby to JS, LLVM to JS, OCaml to JS, .NET to JS and Go to JS
 
@Riley What is your 45 solution?
 
9:22 PM
@cairdcoinheringaahing no, but it is really inactive ATM
 
@DJMcMayhem (([]){({}{}<>)<>([])}{}<>){{}({}<>)<>([])}<> It only works for non-negative. It fails for [1,2,3,4,-40]
 
@DJMcMayhem all brackets have to be balanced in Brainflak right?
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing Correct
 
ATM, I have vaguely understod how Jelly works. The rest is just "atom hide programmer seek, quick hide programmer seek, and programmer hide, chain separator seek" :0p
 
@DJMcMayhem So how can you have odd length programs?
 
9:23 PM
@cairdcoinheringaahing Arguments count as 1 byte each
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing Command line flags
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing flags
 
Ninja'd
 
@Mr.Xcoder "vaguely understand" = "2nd best pupil in the room"
If you vaguely understand, then I know nothing, Jon Snow.
 
I thought flags were 3 bytes
 
9:25 PM
@cairdcoinheringaahing you obviously know more Jelly than I do
@cairdcoinheringaahing I really don't see any Reason why I was promoted to level 3 though
 
@Mr.Xcoder I'm flattered, but who has more Jelly answers?
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing Dennis.
 
I also see no reason why I'm only a level one :P
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing probably you.
@DJMcMayhem you should ask erik to promote you, he prolly forgot
 
@Mr.Xcoder Definately you. I'm on mobile so I can't be bothered to check, but definately you
Yes, I know I can't spell definitely
@wizzwizz4 /o_o
 
9:29 PM
I have less than 10 answers in Jelly, you have 2. You were right. BTW i am on mobile too
It's not like you couldn't answer the challenges I did though @cairdcoinheringaahing
 
@Mr.Xcoder I just realised that you would be. Also I am magic :P Are you currently in bed, on your mobile in TNB when you should be going to sleep because the time is 00:30?
 
I have about 40+ answers in Jelly lol
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing precisely
@HyperNeutrino yes but you really understand how jelly works now
 
true :P
is JHT being inactive again ;_; cri
 
@H.PWiz @Riley new challenge: write a solution that works for only positive integers, but doesn't use the stack height monad
 
9:33 PM
@HyperNeutrino it's not
 
@Mr.Xcoder Yeah, that's the main reason I don't post a lot of answers. I like working on difficult problems, and have the proper feeling of completing a difficult task, but aside from my cube question, people always answer while I'm working on my answer so I give up
 
Challenge accepted
 
@Mr.Xcoder o ok
 
@DJMcMayhem Why isn't that a nilad? It doesn't take any brackets as arguments
 
CMC: Given a matrix/list of lists/something, rotate each row except the first by the first number in the row above it after that row has been rotated (example to come)
 
9:35 PM
@cairdcoinheringaahing To be even more accurate, I am in bed, should be sleeping because it's 0:35, my parents have been sleeping for 2 hours now, I'll wake up tomorrow at 7:30, I am in TNB, in front of my mobile screen, talking to you and also reading the Brain-flak wiki :))
That's what I call multi-tasking
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing Sorry, I meant nilad

Typo
 
The second row is rotated by 1 first and then the third row is rotated by 2
actually huh might make this a main challenge
 
@DJMcMayhem I've done too much Jelly to not care about arities of commands
 
9:37 PM
@HyperNeutrino Fairly interesting. Brb solving it in Pyth
 
hold on with posting though because I'm formalizing this and making it main
 
@HyperNeutrino Bah, I will probably be sleeping when you post it:((
 
so you will be sleeping in 10 minutes?
 
Unless you do it fast
 
As with most days, I'm going now because I can't do anything on mobile.
 
9:38 PM
@DJMcMayhem Doesn't use it at all? can we use it to loop through the whole stack?
 
@HyperNeutrino I will try not to
 
ok I'll try to make this fast
 
@Riley You don't need it since there won't be any zeroes
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing hehe, I do ;)
 
You can loop through with just {...{}...}
 
9:39 PM
@DJMcMayhem Duh...
 
@HyperNeutrino done. It's much easier than I thought. I'll let you write the challenge now. Also please ping when you post it
 
I am good now. Finished the write-up and copied to clipboard
@HyperNeutrino dammit. Apparently I misuderstood. Don't bother to ping and do it without hurrying.
 
ah ok, i'm almost done anyway. thanks for notifying though
 
@HyperNeutrino are you sure your test case is correct? The third row does not seem to be rotated by 2 units, i think it's rotated by 1 instead?
 
yes but rotated one to the left, which is two to the right
 
uhh
 
@2EZ4RTZ yes, which makes your onebox very annoying
 
@icrieverytim hey
 
huh apparently caretreply isn't installed correctly
 
9:51 PM
@HyperNeutrino i only put one link and one onebox
I can't see my own messages
 
yes but the onebox is very large
@2EZ4RTZ wait what rip
 
@HyperNeutrino what are you replying to?
 
how can you not see your own messages
 
I can't even see the pic i uploaded
 
Question is now live
@2EZ4RTZ oh are you on a controlled network
 
9:53 PM
@HyperNeutrino Controlled? We have basic DNS blocking and a QOS that is it
 
controlled is the wrong term
does your network block imgur
 
Oh no
 
cuz that would probably be why
if not then idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ rip your computer I guess?
 
Uhh i found them
 
oh huh I got bronze apparently
 
9:54 PM
at the very top of the page
 
oh ok
ew you still have teamscript enabled
 
Haha yeah
I have all of them
 
hey
 
also the order of messages is really screwed up rip
 
9:55 PM
it is fixed!

Q: Fabricate Frequently Factored Functions

Wheat WizardIn one of this question's bonuses I asked you to design a permutation on the natural numbers such that the probability of a random term being odd was 1. Now let's kick it up a notch. I want you to design and implement a permutation, f, on the natural numbers such that, for every integer n grea...

Q: Rotate matrix rows according to the row above

HyperNeutrinoSpecifications For this challenge, you will be given a matrix of some sort in any reasonable format for a 2-D array. For each row except the last, in order from top (first) to bottom (last), rotate the row below it by x to either direction (you choose a consistent direction to use) where x is th...

 
@WheatWizard I don't quite understand your FFFF question. The way I understand it so far, you're supposed to have a function $f:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{N}$ but I don't get the requirement for $f$...
 
Wth my younger bro's school hands out laptops. IT IS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
 
^ wait what what kind of laptops
 
@HyperNeutrino What don't you get?
 
9:58 PM
@HyperNeutrino small cheap windows 10 hp laptop
 
> for every integer n greater than 0, the probability on f of a member being divisible by n is 1.
^^ owtf our school (HS) hands out freaking CHROMEBOOKS to people like they're actually not even useful except for like the 2 things that they can do
then again maybe I just dislike them because I can't program on them offline
 
@HyperNeutrino Did you read the definition of probability?
 
Ok. I'm having a little trouble knowing what is confusing you
 
Chromebooks have 1 thing they do. run chrome. like why
 
10:02 PM
do you get the definition of probability?
 
so like when you say probably must be 1 you mean that as n -> inf there should be as many numbers fulfilling P as there are in {1..n}?
 
@HyperNeutrino Pls fix the issues in your challenge (pointed out by i cry)
 
@HyperNeutrino As n tends towards infinity the percent of the set that fulfills P should approach 100
 
so wait for probability, f is, well, f, and P is that the number is divisible by n?
 
10:05 PM
so as n increases, the ratio between (the number of numbers divisible by n in f{1..n}) and (n) should approach 1:1?
anyway sry I gtg now, I'll read the response when I get back and hopefully I'll get it [by] then. thanks for your help
 
Instead of multi-threading I am just running my program 6 times at the same time! Efficency!
Oh dear my CPU is maxed nonstop
 
Succeded posting a sleep golf answer in Python
 
Uhh
 
@DJMcMayhem I have 60 bytes now and am working on golfing it
 
@ATaco pls deduplicate strawpolls before showing pls (you can use Set)
@2EZ4RTZ Because they don't have very much storage
 
10:28 PM
@ASCII-only why do they exist
 
@2EZ4RTZ Some people 1. use the cloud for everything (e.g. me :P but I don't have a Chromebook) and 2. don't want to spend too much
 
>.< 4 more answers until the OEIS question basically restarts. <sarcasm> Yay. I can't wait </sarcasm>
 
@2EZ4RTZ You can do most things you can do on Windows, but it's less expensive and much faster.
 
10:51 PM
@cairdcoinheringaahing so you're not going to make all languages free-for-all?
 
I installed a blocker thingy to block websites while I work and the problem is it blocked YT but that is where my homework is.
 
Strict Workflow is recommended to people who use TNB for max productivity. 25 min work then 5 min of freedom
 
Not Using TNB is recommended for max productivity
 
It blocks it if you tell it to
 
10:58 PM
I see
my method is like 2 hours work then like 10-40 min of freedom depending on how much I need to get done
it doesn't appear to work except for when I'm programming
which is why I don't really use that anymore :P :P
 
XD I can't work for 19 min because of my tryin... dammit have to go do a different work thingy for an hour
gg
 
gg has to start now but still won't let me join
wait it starts at 8
gg
@Everyone where are you?

AUSTRALIA!
 
11:02 PM
@HyperNeutrino uh oh. 250 words into a 500 word paper and have nothing to write about
 
Also, I'm fixing the multiple polls now.
 
Oh
That is my bad. I posted link 2 times
 
I don't know why my answer got downvoted...
can someone explain?
 
@2EZ4RTZ at my house
 
@ATaco if i tell you to F**k off in an aussie accent is that offensive to you?
Since Australia doesn't find that word offensive
 
11:03 PM
It doesn't matter so much whether or not he finds it offensive though lol if you say it here :3 ;) :P
 
@JungHwanMin It can't be for "builtints". All of the answers use builtins.
Makes no sense to me
 
@2EZ4RTZ Mate that's a fairly common good-bye.
 
@HyperNeutrino well legally it isn't offensive to him
 
sure then? :P
 
Although "Piss off" is a tad more common.
 
11:04 PM
@ATaco :I wat
 
There are two downvotes, so there must be a reason...
 
@ATaco piss off mate
 
Well that's what my mates say to each other.
 
@2EZ4RTZ at least spell it correctly
 
@2EZ4RTZ I am the PISS of MATE

11:05 PM
That felt odd
 
People don't like Mathematica?
 
What just happened
I got a message directed to me, but it's not here
 
@ATaco so wait, caretreply is officially dead?
 
Welcome to TNB. Nothing is on-topic
^^ nah
 
@HyperNeutrino There seems to be a bug.
 
11:06 PM
@H.PWiz maybe?
 
@JungHwanMin 2EZ 4RTZ did a ping+delete
 
Same with star thingy
 
@ATaco o rip
 
But the general consensus is that you downvote the answer only if it's obnoxious or violates rules
isn't it?
 
jLink.attr Oh no.
I think chat exchange just updated and broke everything, or atleast, I hope it did
 
11:06 PM
Yes, but not everyone reads meta/cares
 
@JungHwanMin we downvote whatever we want sooo
Ask geobits
 
It's not like I'm sad that I lost 4 reputation. I'm just confused.
 
Oh
 
Hey, there's another one
 
I thought you were a new member XD
 
11:07 PM
:/
 
Not a 8k member
 
Yeah, I almost never use TNB
 
@JungHwanMin So sad
But productive
 
Things I associate with JungHwan Min: Mathematica
lol
 
11:08 PM
lol
I often break challenges by using builtins
 
Matamataca :P

@icrieverytim hi
 
I'm proud of the Pluralize question especially
 
Oh, I found the problem!
If you're using the userscript bundle, it will be broken.
 
11:10 PM
@icrieverytim i know you cannot chat but I have a rough score for my freecell solver
 
Turning off either I am Typing or Strawpoll One Box will fix this.
 
codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/43150/… why does an answer to the 2nd most upvoted/unanswered challenge only have 4 votes???
 
I'm trying to make a stack-based version of Mathematica. Are there any tips on making stack-based languages?
 
Don't
 
11:12 PM
I'm trying to beat Jelly... muhahaha
 
then stack-based might not work
 
@2EZ4RTZ "most of the code is not mine". And that it isn't proven yet
 
@H.PWiz proven what?
 
Hmm
Well, MATL is oftentimes 1 or 2 bytes longer than Jelly
 
The score
 
11:13 PM
so if I make mathematica stack based, then I can cover the byte difference with built-ins
 
@JungHwanMin tips: have multi-variadic operators behave differently if there aren't enough items on the stack (every error is a wasted opportunity)
 
Yeah, I'm also making functions that can behave differently depending on the datatype of the item on the top of the stack
I need more ideas to beat Dennis
 
We all need more ideas to beat Dennis
I love it how a lisp is diagnosed by saying the word lisp.
 
I love it how a lithp is diagnothed by thaying the word lithp
 
Yeah
I thee wat you did there
 
11:18 PM
@HyperNeutrino not unless I want my phone to buzz every 5 minutes
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing lol true
but aww :( then I could use ALL THE PYTHON
wait I pretty much did already
there's just Iron left
 
@JungHwanMin 2 things. 1) +1 for the passive agreesive comment 2) Unfortunately, people will vote how they want, there's really no point asking why they voted the way they did
@HyperNeutrino you may want to use Jelly ASAP, so that Erik doesn't use it for a basic sequence
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing yeah I should :P
I'll try to get a new language into the system sometime soon
let's see, in terms of languages that can actually do things, I have Positron, Proton, Python * 5, Jelly, M, 05AB1E. In terms of languages I can use for hard sequences I have the ones bolded :P
 
@HyperNeutrino If the next 4 sequences are Ines that take a week to do, I might be able to get Deorst v2 involved
 
o cool
 
11:22 PM
But ATM, Deorst v1 can be used (it just won't be)
 
I'm wondering if I should use the last Python, or exhaust the rest of the Java versions first
 
@HyperNeutrino If you keep the Python, you can use it twice after 150 have gone
 
oh cool so like I can use Python 1, 2, 2PyPy, 2Iron * 2, 3, 3PyPy?
 
@HyperNeutrino Does 3PyPy exist?
 
no it doesn't whoops
 
11:25 PM
> Every 150 (valid) answers, the number of times a language may be used increases. So after 150 solutions have been posted, every language may be used twice (with all previous answers counting towards this). For instance, when 150 answers have been posted, Python 3 may be used twice, but due to the fact that it has already been used once, this means it can only be used once more until 300 answers have been posted.
 
Alright, I've fixed most of the userscripts when using the bundle, but it seems that the order of execution when pressing "enter" has changed.
 
oh cool
^^ so this ping should work
 
So caretreply is currently broke
 
@ATaco feature request, make it work on mobile.
 
ornot
@cairdcoinheringaahing that's something that's up to your browser, not ATaco
you need the userscript lol
unless you authorize him to edit your messages at will; then he could kind of make that work
but please don't, that's just stupid
 
11:27 PM
@HyperNeutrino shs, don't tell him, we can keep him occupied for years with that idea :P
 
yeah I don't think he's that dumb
:P
 
@HyperNeutrino best idea: wait till 450 answers, then use Iron Python 4 times :D
 
@HyperNeutrino would you be willing to help me finish Deorst v2?
 
not sure how much I can help but sure
I gtg for now though
 
11:33 PM
@HyperNeutrino It's mainly just implementing the builtins, which have very descriptive names :P Bye o/
