@ASCII-only Contact is too busy. If you want to check it out, I need to send you a key. Email? If you don't want to post it here, you can send me a note at my last name @ gmail
it's disgusting and visually unpleasing imo, unusable for any semblance of thought-based programming without external tools like fancy keyboards (thus encouraging a style of "hey I can just copy-paste consecutive builtins" which no doubt increases the vast amount of great quality on this site), fringes on the border between legit code golf and metacodegolf-X by utilizing the whole code page (something I'm sure has never been done so extremely on other golfing sites--even golfscript)
I think we should have people post the original program that goes into the compiler/interpreter rather than a the code page-translation. If they do post the translation it should be +1 byte for the flag to take in the code-page
@ASCII-only how aren't they? all people want to see nowadays are tidy clusters of characters from lithoanian, japanese, and norwegian currency symbols and say "oh wow this is short +1 bai". language aesthetic is a really big part of designing and answering in a golfing language. people like to be able to feel like the can make connections between some types of characters when scanning through a code golf explanation, which is easy to do with langauges like jelly with sensible command names, but...
hard to do with languages composed of raw bytes and xxd dumps
@HelkaHomba depends on the application. for infinite-width things like graphs, 2 is better, but for fixed-size things, 1 might be better. although for fine-grained zooming, is better
@HyperNeutrino If that's the case, you'll probably find Sunless Sea boring as well. It may have actuall gameplay, but it's still primarily a game about storytelling.
Given two integers, which may be negative, zero, or positive, a and b. convert it to a + bi where i is the imaginary number (square root of negative one). Then, raise it to the power of a third (positive integer) input variable, c as to (a + bi)c. You should then end up with something like d + ei...
@Neil That may be because of the more normal paradigm (well actually it's probably more that Charcoal is an ASCII-art language i.e. no filter and things like that)
@Neil Jelly is definitely not undocumented... 05AB1E is gradually getting slight improvements to the docs, so it's going to be easier to understand soon
@Mr.Xcoder well, Jelly is... Jelly, but 05AB1E should have been easy enough to learn, except I can never find the function I want
I mean, I had a 54-byte 05AB1E answer, but thanks to hours of patient study, and a tiny bit of help from @ASCII-only and @Emigna, I'm now down to 28 bytes, which is almost 50% off
@Neil I agree that as of now 05AB1E documentation is kinda awful. I am trying to improve it in my spare time, ever since I moved it to the "Wiki" page. Hopefully it will get better.
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ There's really no point in downvoting that question anymore. Its bad, we get it, he gets it, we know what not to do. 1 more downvote isn't going to say or change anything
There is an old, popular riddle:
Find an english word with 8 letters that, taken away one letter, creates a new valid word. Repeat that until there is no letters left.
Example solution:
starting
staring
string
sting
sing
sin
in
I
Write a script that, given a file with words*, outputs one...
He may have asked to have it removed 50 times, but it won't happen. It has answers, and I don't think he really cares or knows about dissociating the question. The mods won't delete it, and he can't delete so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ I mean, he could ask the two users to remove their answers, then he could delete it, but the mods won't delete a question because it wasn't well-received
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ From one of my (earlier) flags: "declined - We do not delete challenges by request, as it is unfair to the users who have already posted an answer."
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ Talking about a challenge on main probably was the most on topic thing that happened in TNB today, even if it got sidetracked a little.
TBH, there's quite a few things I'd improve (assuming I was capable). Most likely auto-tabbing for Python and an interactive keyboard for languages with an SBCS
@wizzwizz4 I forget what it stands for, but it's required to be able to teach piano past level 8
So with my level 8 diploma, I'm permitted to teach piano up to level 4; with level 10, up to level 8, and people with an ARCT diploma can teach anyone (including teaching ARCT)
And the even more annoying thing is that my brother can't use my books because he's 3 years / 4 levels behind me and they changed the entire curriculum so the books are rendered useless ._.
@ThomasWard Royal Conservatory of Music. I think it's a British thing but I'm not sure.
@HyperNeutrino Don't laugh - Programming Puzzles and Code Golf Stuck Exchange will probably go down completely from people who find programming puzzling and want to play golf instead of writing code.
Conjecture: A list of positive integers has the following property: The sum of the deltas of the list preceding each element (including itself) is always lower than or equal to the element.
