In whatever terms you were using in that moment

Leaky Nun

how much topology do you know?

Pavel

04:48

Not a lot

A listened to a three hour lecture on it last year

Leaky Nun

so there's a map from S^3 to S^2, where S^2 is the two-dimensional sphere (the usual sphere) that sits inside 3D

and S^3 is the hypersphere

this map has the property that it maps circles to points

i.e. every point is mapped to by a circle

Is the only way to loop in Hexagony is to make a circular (or wraparound) path and let an IP run around it?

You've said seconds can be skipped some times, but I'm still not clear how often and which seconds can be skipped. — Wheat Wizard 21 hours ago

Since everyone thinks the question is perfectly clear could someone explain to me the answer to my question?

Wheat Wizard

Oh it was closed once before.

@Adám @Dennis @Steadybox ^^^?

What's with the mass ping?

Mr. Xcoder

They think the challenge is clear

@Zacharý According to my calculations, between January 15th and 20th, but IMO January 17th

Wheat Wizard

Those are the people who reopened it.

Zacharý

@Mr.Xcoder I'm just gonna guess a month from Christmas: Jan 25th

Mr. Xcoder

17:40

His average rep/day in the last month is about 205, so about ((1000000-995626)/205) days. It's the 27th of December (in my timezone), so 27 + ((1000000-995626)/205) ≈ 48.3365853659. December has 31 days, though, so my estimation is ceil/floor(48,3365853659-31) ≈ ceil/floor(17,3365853659)th ≈ 17/18th of December. Can't wait to see

Zacharý

Yep, that seems like a good amount of logic that went into it,

Mr. Xcoder

@Zacharý Well everything depends on Jon Skeet

Zacharý

Mr. Xcoder

Ah crap. Yeah got it right in my first comment: January 15th and 20th, but IMO January 17th

Adám

@WheatWizard I don't understand what's so unclear. You may sleep 1 even if it will eventually lead to a skipped time stamp.

Wheat Wizard

Besides the obvious "What is a sleep?", this only solves the problem if your language has a builtin sleep function. When can languages without a sleep skip seconds?

Mr. Xcoder

@dzaima ~~Jelly, 12 bytes “C1ġ¹)ʂ°BƲ »~~ Ninja'd :(

Wheat Wizard

Also "You may use sleep(1) even if a specific second may occasionally be skipped." still doesn't tell me what "occasionally" means

Adám

@WheatWizard Meaning they'd have to loop, checking for the time to have advanced one second. The allowance just isn't relevant to them.

@WheatWizard Means every time the rest of the code (printing, calculation, etc.) accumulates to a whole second.

Wheat Wizard

17:54

If it means that it ought to say that.

Adám

@WheatWizard Can you edit it in?

Mr. Xcoder

@dzaima SOGL, 11 bytes: "⁹ē∑Ω-┌S°≡‘

Wheat Wizard

I'm not going to do that because I think the implication of that statement is unclear. I'll let the author or someone confident in that assessment do that.

DJMcMayhem

CMC: (Python) Define a function named zip that works exactly like the builtin zip function, but runs until the longest iterable stops.

For example:

>>> a = [1, 2, 3]
>>> b = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> print(list(zip(a,b)))
[(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4), (5)]

Or [(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, None), (5, None)] would be an acceptable output too

Mr. Xcoder

18:11

@DJMcMayhem Why must it be named zip? :(

DJMcMayhem

idk

It's not necessarily code-golf though

Wheat Wizard

@DJMcMayhem Done in Haskell anyway

Mr. Xcoder

@DJMcMayhem Oh you don't care about code-golf?

DJMcMayhem

but not the inverse ;)

you're not wrong though, it's a wonderful piece of awesome.

Mr. Xcoder

DJMcMayhem

Oh whoops

Yeah, swapping the outputs is probably not a good idea

Thomas Ward

that said

just switching a and b works for what you're expecting

Mr. Xcoder

18:21

Nope.

Thomas Ward

but for two lists being zipped you'd have to do some logic to determine what order to put them in

DJMcMayhem

@ThomasWard No, you got it right. I just wrote that output by hand and screwed up
