I think 9AM is very much so still morning :P

@DJMcMayhem Lua, 18 bytes print((...+1~1)-1)

Christopher 2EZ 4RTZ

More like 7 PM

Dennis agrees

Pavel

@ATaco What does the ... do?

ATaco

... refers to the unpacked arg table.

In this case, it's just getting the first argument.

Pavel

Uriel

Does anybody here knows how to GCD in Oasis?

Christopher 2EZ 4RTZ

23:08

@Pavel ...

Pavel

..?

Leaky Nun

@Uriel good luck doing anything in oasis at all

Christopher 2EZ 4RTZ

... joke

Pavel

..ಠ_ಠ

Christopher 2EZ 4RTZ

That was another joke lol

Leaky Nun

23:10

@Uriel I don't think it's possible

ATaco

@cairdcoinheringaahing RProgN 2, 3 bytes 2*-

That was a lot easier than the challenge made it out to be.

Oh, it fails on the > case.

shrug

@cairdcoinheringaahing RProgN 2, 27 bytes x=y=«z=yz+xz+/]12/>\12/e|»é

That's a much more literal solution.

@MDXF Quining in this will be too much of a pain for me to even want to begin trying.

HyperNeutrino

23:31

@LeakyNun Thanks for the fix to my Jelly answer; I'm reposting it though (with due credit to you still) because this one might get deleted by accident or on purpose so I want to avoid that :P

Leaky Nun

HyperNeutrino

btw how does # nfind even work

do you have time for JHT?

DJMcMayhem

@HyperNeutrino Nfind collects the first n values for which a certain link is Truthy

HyperNeutrino

but it seems to start counting up from n as well. I'm not sure if that's intended (it seems like it is) but idk how to fix that?

Oh I get how my code was failing earlier then

I'm an idiot

DJMcMayhem

Yes, that is the case.

I don't remember how to make it start at 1

HyperNeutrino

23:35

apparently you do 1<link>#

or something like that

DJMcMayhem

I just tried that

ATaco

One day RProgN2 will be recognized for the powerhouse that it is!

Thomas Ward

i just got a really weird request from a coworker y'all can probably appreciate...

ATaco

Probably not today because it's not great.

Thomas Ward

they want me to golf down my pretty advanced open-source Python listserv implementation...

to make it smaller with less of a system footprint...

ATaco

23:38

:\ Golfing should never be used in a professional setting, minifying != golfing.

Thomas Ward

@ATaco true statement.

ATaco

but that's just my opinion.

Thomas Ward

'course, this is an extremely advanced piece of software that's fragile, so minifying it isn't sane.

'cause things'll explode

ATaco

Oooh, Exciting!

Thomas Ward

and it's still under development so minifying while it's still being developed to be compliant with all the email security things in the world is... not exactly sane.

HyperNeutrino

23:39

I heard something about explosions

@ThomasWard lol developing minified things is like 0% possible 0/10 that is dumb idea lol

Thomas Ward

@HyperNeutrino @HyperNeutrino yes, that was the secret stealth bot I named ISIS exploding when it hit the force-field.

@HyperNeutrino @HyperNeutrino it's not minified yet :P

HyperNeutrino

@ThomasWard ik but like golfing things in real life is bad idea

ATaco

Codegolf has given me terrible habits, Perhaps I need to spend some time at CR.

Thomas Ward

yes i know right

that's what I said

HyperNeutrino

@ThomasWard oh well 1. that's unfortunate and 2. why are you double-@-ing me lol

Thomas Ward

23:41

@HyperNeutrino because system bug?

HyperNeutrino

my coding style is bad because a) I learned half of it from my friend whose coding style is bad according to him and b) because PPCG

@ThomasWard oh huh that's strange

Thomas Ward

it's been doing that ever since the site redesigns on SE via mobile chat

HyperNeutrino

(fortunately it doesn't double-ping :D)

Thomas Ward

so I think it's an oddity in the mobile chat

ATaco

@ThomasWard Use CaretReply, It's 100% bugfree 50% of the time!

HyperNeutrino

23:41

@ThomasWard oh it's a mobile thing. makes sense; mobile everything about SE is... weird...

ATaco

Oh, if you're on mobile that's not an option.

Thomas Ward

true statement

HyperNeutrino

@ATaco so is it 200% bugfree 25% of the time? (lol /s)

Thomas Ward

@ATaco yeah well my computer is just turning on so...

HyperNeutrino

in other news, I've recently been convinced to switch over to space-indenting over tab-indenting

Uriel

23:45

@LeakyNun yea, it lacks too many boolean and comparative functions...

Leaky Nun

@Uriel in particular it isn't turing-complete

HyperNeutrino

[start=0]<link>[number=left]# gets the first number elements that are truthy according to link starting from start I think

Leaky Nun

@HyperNeutrino no, if the number is not specified, it is taken from input

HyperNeutrino

wait input or argument

Leaky Nun

input

HyperNeutrino

23:48

huh

ohhhhhhh

that's why you put 15 in the input

I didn't even notice lol

so correction:

[start=0]<link>[number=python_eval(input())]# gets the first number elements that are truthy according to link starting from start?

Leaky Nun

right

Thomas Ward

@HyperNeutrino important question: why have you not been doing this already

HyperNeutrino

@ThomasWard because pressing <tab> is easier than pressing <space><space><space><space>

@LeakyNun yay ok thanks!

and also I'm too lazy to change my editor settings to use spaces

Thomas Ward

@HyperNeutrino so when you're done coding with tabs, find/replace/sed all tabs with four spaces.

HyperNeutrino

@ThomasWard too lazy that takes more than 1 second

ATaco

23:51

I still prefer tabs over spaces.

Thomas Ward

i prefer spaces over tabs because spaces work better in python interactive consoles/shells

ATaco

1 byte < 4 bytes. :P

HyperNeutrino

@ATaco yeah but then for double indenting 1 + 1 bytes < 1 + 2 bytes :P

ATaco

That's implying I'm using Python.

HyperNeutrino

also the width of a tab varies; in my editor I have it set to 4, but in my browser it's 8. that's the reason that I was finally convinced to use spaces :P

ATaco

23:52

I have it on 4 everywhere.

Thomas Ward

throws @ATaco into the Python Indoctrination Room, and locks the room

ATaco

Python is the devil's language.

HyperNeutrino

what is the PIR

Thomas Ward

@HyperNeutrino a very evil room.

very few who enter return from it having retained their sanity

HyperNeutrino

ah ok

ATaco

23:53

Python was one of the first languages I learned.

HyperNeutrino

so wait are you saying Python is good or bad?

Thomas Ward

@HyperNeutrino Python is good.

the PIR is bad.

HyperNeutrino

\o/

Thomas Ward

or rather

HyperNeutrino

but \o/

Thomas Ward

23:54

the PIR is bad, if you aren't already converted to Python

HyperNeutrino

ah ok

so PIR converts people to pythons

Thomas Ward

indeed.

HyperNeutrino

snek-maker 9000

Leaky Nun

@HyperNeutrino you traitor :c /s

HyperNeutrino

@LeakyNun :c :P

blame my friend ethan

he convinced me to use spaces

since I was using tabs and he made me use spaces during the hackathon and he figured out how to convince me to use spaces :P

Thomas Ward

23:56

@HyperNeutrino SM 9000. Out of context, that could mean something else but meh.

HyperNeutrino

@ThomasWard I'm wondering whether or not I should ask what else that means but I'll let you decide whether or not you should tell me :P

Thomas Ward

then it shall not be said.

HyperNeutrino

ok :P
