What I find strange is that on SO, I have edit privileges, yet can't approve an edit by myself; it requires another user. Strange.
 
@HyperNeutrino Well... that's what review queues are like
 
cool thing: if you define True to be False in py2, 1==1 returns true but eval(1==1) returns false
 
12:06 AM
(That's because eval(1==2) first evaluates 1==2, which is true, then eval executes it as a string, which does eval("true"), which is assigned to false, thus the return value is false.)
 
yep, I know, just kinda cool
 
@ATaco except you need to capitalize booleans :P
 
also, hyper that's not the best answer ;P

@ConorO'Brien Encode the program somehow in the perimeter of a simple polygon (like drawn in paint)
 
12:53 AM
that's an interesting idea...
 
Or maybe closed polygons are loops that could be nested while polylines are non-looping sequences of statements.
 
a polygon where the pointer can cross diagonals or something like that? idk
 
maybe take the length/number of pixels in each line/angle of each line as a command identifier ?
 
With just polyline-segments you have slope and length to work with for each segment (though different if we're talking rastered)
Or I guess angle, not slope
@ConorO'Brien Right, what you said :P

Looks like it would work in any JDK over 5
 
But I didn't actually analyze it to be sure.
 
4:27 PM
@WheatWizard Out of curiosity, where did your 46 byte answer fail?
 
@DJMcMayhem If the input was a singleton it would output 1
 
It's interesting how 3 different users with 3 different approaches all came up with 50 bytes lol
 
Well your approach gets you to the 48 so, I guess you win :)
 
@WheatWizard I tried that also, but it loops forever on empty input. -0+1 = 1H.PWiz 4 mins ago
 
@WheatWizard I tried that also, but it loops forever on empty input. -0+1 = 1H.PWiz 4 mins ago

4:30 PM
Oh it has to work on the enpty input?
Doesn't your original output nothing on empty anyway
 
IMO it's pretty dumb but yeah
 
> [] | 0
yeah it's in the test cases
 
> Outputs nothing for 0, which in brain-flak is equivalent
 
Ok now I'm motivated
We can beat 50
 
And Pavel explicitly said that was OK
It's funny (and convenient) how empty output implicitly equals 0
BTW, @WheatWizard Of course you outgolfed my deltas, but it's telling how you used the same algorithm :P
Do you have any general mnemonic for whether {{}...([])} or {({}<...>[()])} is shorter? Or do you just always try both?
 
4:33 PM
Huh? those are not equivalent
 
Sorry, I just mean the general approaches.
If you want equivalent, I mean ([]){{}...([])} or ([]){({}<...>[()])}
 
(a)({<{}>b<(c)>}d) = ((a){[{}]b(c)}d)
And that pretty much always saves bytes
 
Even when you don't need to evaluate the {...}?
 
Brainflak is weird.
4
I like weird.
 
@J.Salle I'm glad
 
4:36 PM
@DJMcMayhem Since its in a push in the formula it will always be evaluated
 
@J.Salle anything new? ;-p
 
But if it doesn't need to be evaluated you could just drop the <...>s to save bytes
 
@EriktheOutgolfer nope, just thought I'd throw that out there
 
@WheatWizard But I'm asking if ([]){{}...([])} will ever be shorter when you're not evaluating {...}
I thought that which one is shorter depends on context
I could be wrong though
 
@DJMcMayhem OH! I see I was confused. I never use ([][()]) unless I need value from the loop. ([]) is pretty much the only one that saves bytes
I'll also use ([][()]) if our operation doesn't change the stack height by a contstant
 
4:38 PM
> ([]) is pretty much the only one that saves bytes
Do you mean pushing stack-height in the loop, or pushing once and decrementing?
 
Pushing in the loop
decrementing dhould be the norm, other methods only occasionally save btyes.
 
Oh, so decrementing is shortest when you're not using the value, but pushing stack-height every loop is shorter when you are?
 
Anonymous
I've added a few large test cases to Smallest Zeroless Base in case anyone wants to try them out
 
Well decrementing prevents you from using the value so ...
 
I'm trying to get ([]){{}([{}]({})){<>({}())<>(<{}>)}{}([])} to work, but it doesn't terminate...
 
4:41 PM
I'm saying that if your doing the push and pop a new value each loop it only saves you bytes over decrement if you just pushing the stack height with no modifications
 
@HyperNeutrino I'm not positive this is the problem, but I think it's because you'll never get down to 0 values on the stack because you're always pushing a new value on
 
I'm having trouble explaining over text,
 
So you want ([][()]) instead
 
hm ok
 
@Mego for the last testcase my jelly answer is very fast
 
4:42 PM
... that actually worked
I tried that last time ._.
so yeah I have 48 bytes I think
yeah
 
@DJMcMayhem I have work due real soon, when I'm done I can try to compose this idea coherently and maybe post it as a tip.
 
@WheatWizard That makes sense. ([][()]) is pretty awkward
@WheatWizard That would be nice. Shortest looping method seems to be pretty context sensitive
 
Yeah I often forget that not everyone knows the things that I've figured out, there is a lot of depth on which loop to choose.
 
Holy cow, what's with the blast of downvotes on the new main post?
 
wait there doesn't seem to be a 48 byte solution up on the PPCG question can I post mine or did one of you already golf to 48?
 
4:44 PM
@EriktheOutgolfer my APL answer times out on TIO for the last test case :/
 
It depends on A) Whether you're evaluating {...} and B) Whether you're running it [] times or [][()] times
 
> blast
it's +1/-3 that's like nothing
then again with sandbox post in context that's weird
 
@J.Salle well, it doesn't take much time to count to 256, and to convert a big number to some base :p
 
Although I guess, if you're running the loop any number of times other than stack-height, decrementing is probably your best bet.
@HyperNeutrino There is no 48 yet. There was a 46 and 48 but both of them failed edge cases
 
right I should check if mine fails the edge case
what is the edge case?
 
4:46 PM
@HyperNeutrino Right, the sandbox post was like +6 or +7 or something
 
Empty input and singletons
 
yeah
@DJMcMayhem huh ok
rip yeah mine fails singletons lol
 
@EriktheOutgolfer yeah, but I don't think I can get any faster with APL. Adam helped me get that code right, so I think it's optimized
 
Which should both give 0, right?
 
yes
but mine gives blank for empty and 1 for singleton
and fixing that makes it 52
 
4:48 PM
Blank for empty is fine. Mine does that too
 
@AdmBorkBork + is really over done for how uninteresting it is IMO
 
@WheatWizard Mostly because of how easy it is to come up with challenges that fit that. Have a random pattern of characters that looks semi-interesting? Boom, you've got a challenge that you could write up in 2 minutes.
 
@WheatWizard One could say the same about OEIS challenges, but those are usually well-received....
 
I don't think so, Integer sequences can be vastly different, every computational challenge is essentially isomorphic to a integer sequence.
is just the same type of compression over and over

@J.Salle golfed code isn't necessarily fast
 
Guys what's wrong with all the downvotes on this question: codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/146499/… ?
I get that it could be because OP answered the question by himself, but what's the difference between that and checking the sandbox for posts to come and prepare a solution in advance?
(That answer immediately got 2 upvotes as opposed to OP's answer that got downvoted as well..)
 
@BruceForte many people just seem to not like basic kolmogorov-complexity challenges anymore :/
 
@EriktheOutgolfer I know, but APL usually performs okay with golfed code. And some of the code would be the same, golfed or not, so I don't think it makes that much of a difference.
 
Yeah I can totally understand, but is that a valid reason to downvote?
 
5:09 PM
@BruceForte Actually, yeah it is
 
@BruceForte Well one is strongly discouraged and the other is considered against our typical rules. Both are bad.
 
@DJMcMayhem so should I just go and downvote every OEIS/math challenge?
 
Oh ok, I always thought that downvoting was to downvote bad challenges in an objective sense.
 
@dzaima You can downvote for whatever reason you like. If you honestly think that every single OEIS challenge is low quality just inherently because it is an OEIS challenge, than you are free to do that.
But I don't think anyone thinks that, just like I'm pretty sure nobody thinks all is garbage
FWIW, I didn't downvote this challenge, but it's not great. It's basically the same thing as the output this ascii-art goat challenge, just more compressible.
 
I just think this is wrong, that's all. Especially since OP is a new user, imagine how discouraging this is.. I kinda feel bad for him

Yes, but it's hard to copy characters in that range cause they're unprintable

Okay, so it's a multi-byte character?
 
What you wrote is
But  is not
 
Which is why I'm really confused. Cause  is supposed to be unprintable ASCII, but it's shows somehow

6:05 PM
Sorry, let me rephrase my question. What would i type in V to get the same effect as hitting the down arrow in Vim?
 
I guess my browser shows 0x00-0x1F as CP437? I really have no idea
@H.PWiz Oooooooh, that makes so much more sense.
Unfortunately, you can't
V looks at individual bytes, and arrow keys are multibyte to vim.
You could get around that for sure, but that functionality doesn't exist yet
 
Ok, sorry for the confusion.
