3:00 PM
(closer to 2s)
on TIO it's 0.7s
 
TIO is really fast
 
actually the amount of time it takes is really fluctuating a lot (because server load and stuff)
 
2e6 -> 3287488864020
0.096874 (not counting compile time, c++)
 
2e6 -> 246466969796...?
my solutions are getting a different answer from yours D:
i'd check with my friend's but it's not fast enough for that large of an input size
 
Jelly is not fast enough for 2e6 either :(
 
3:07 PM
well it's jelly
 
... I don't see what you're implying :P Not like it is interpreted in Python, which is compiled to C then interpreted, which is then translated into Assembly :P
 
Jelly is not the fastest language out there :P
 
shhh don't summon Dennis
 
3:09 PM
No, it's the algorithm that is not fast enough.
 
yeah that also
 
Sorry wrong algorithm :\
 
@Rod Ha... haha :)
 
246466969796
0.078493
(2e6)
 
3:10 PM
Same answer now.
 
I get 0.244-ish
 
Rod
in C or python?
 
c++
in python it takes ~0.425
 
Rod
"sys. time"?
 
n = 10000000 ~= 1e+07

I use timeit.timeit usually
 
mine runs 1e7 in 1.4s (C++)
 
I won \o/
 
yay gj
 
3:13 PM
BTW never put :\ in C++ code, especially at the end of a line comment.
 
1e8 takes 15.8s
wait what
mine is faster for 1e7 but slower for 1e6 and 1e8
 
The first time is run time, second time is compile time.
 
o
gj that's fast :D
can you send code
i want to see how you did it. i'll send my soln too
[if you want]

(improved)
 
1e8 times out on TIO for my python solution :p
hm so my python solution is faster than yours but your c++ solution is faster than mine
makes sense i guess?
 
3:16 PM
My Python solution have a worse algorithm.
 
ah ok

Awww, did I miss the first podcast?
 
Yes...
 
Yeah :/ Me too
 
3:19 PM
I think the speakers were Americans, which inconvenience all of us in Europe :P
 
doesn't putting \ at the end of a line cause the next line to be a part of the current line (line continuation)?
 
Yeah I know, just a joke
 
@HyperNeutrino are you building a chatbot?
 
no...?
 
What's the stuff in the Sandbox then?
 
3:20 PM
that was me talking to myself that's an old chatbot; I booted it up to try to get the TIO query thing working

Q: Finding Lonely Primes

OkxLonely primes (as I call them) are primes, where given a number grid with width w ≥ 3, are primes which do not have any other primes adjacent to them orthogonally or diagonally. For example, if we take this grid where w = 12 (primes highlighted in bold): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...

 
@user202729 It's basically aimed to be a learning resource for JHT
 
3:24 PM
But we already have resources page and everything...
 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's got a lot of features. You can just ping it in the Sandbox with @JHTBot help and it'll respond
 
lol I tried making my c++ solution faster and now it segfaults for 1e8
 
@HyperNeutrino Is my code really faster than yours, or is it my computer?
 
probably faster; I'm using TIO for runtime so idk
 
TIO is not TimeItOnline...
 
3:30 PM
yeah
your computer might be faster than Dennis's TIO server computer; idk
what if you try running this on your computer

Woo, Dyalog license approved. Only took a week.
 
1e6 segfaults
 
Doesn't segfault for me
 
using namespace std; :\
 
3:33 PM
why does vector<int> not segfault but int[] does?
 
Stack overflow
 
(I meant, int[] allocates memory on stack)
 
@user202729 Dennis specifically insists people not using TIO for timing.

Has anyone made a quantum programming language? I don't mean a language for programming quantum computers, I mean a language in which control flow can go multiple directions at once and then have the various results "interfere" with each other.

Q: Why is "using namespace std" considered bad practice?

akbiggsI've been told by others that writing using namespace std in code is wrong, and that I should use std::cout and std::cin directly instead. Why is using namespace std considered a bad practice? Is it inefficient or risk declaring ambiguous variables (variables that share the same name as a functi...

 
guess I should listen to you guys then :p
 
@PhiNotPi I've seen one before but I can't recall it's name or much about it
 
3:36 PM
Everyone I know IRL use namespace std...
Then you need to remember not to declare next global variable, and so on...
The y1 is particularly dangerous.
(although this one is special - it may be in global namespace without using namespace std)
 
@user202729 Same :(
 
@PhiNotPi Cardinal allows simultaneous execution of codes along the IPs IIRC
Not sure if that counts

BTW... do you know _GLIBCXX_DEBUG? Do you think that's useful?
 
3:46 PM
eww, this code has not one but two errors: dxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mailnews/base/src/…
 
why not m_levels[i]--;
 
@RegexUsers Is there a way to replace matches in a string with the result of another regex? Something like this?
 
what exactly is it that you want to do?
 
If it matched amp, replace that with an & symbol, otherwise replace with a @ symbol
 
@HyperNeutrino that's not a big fault given the two blatant errors
 
3:51 PM
ok :p
 
the worst bit is that I actually read this when it was originally checked in
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing oh so you want to replace &amp; with & and &zwnj; with @?
what language are you using?
 
just use import html; html.unescape
 
3:52 PM
lollll
zwnj is a zero-width ? ? ?
 
ok
anyway gtg o/
 
how many zero-widths are there? can they be used to make a bf derivative?
 
zero-width non-joiner
is zero-width
 
@Neil Good luck with that. There are only 3:
> U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE (U+200B) ​ arial_unicode_ms
U+200C ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER (U+200C) ‌ arial_unicode_ms
U+200D ZERO WIDTH JOINER (U+200D) ‍ arial_unicode_ms
 
3:56 PM
plenty enough for a whitespace derivative
 
esolangs.org/wiki/Ook! uses three unique tokens, so it can be transcribed directly into zwfk
 
...
so just make a programming language where the code is always zero pixels wide
 
@Neil Zero-width fuck?
 
that's a Brainfuck derivative. Brainfuck sucks.
 
Uh... So... in that case... you need at least 3 substitution.
(for the general case)
 
3:58 PM
@user202729 not if you transliterate into Ook! (3 tokens)
 
1. $ -> ~~~&amp;&&zwnb;@
 
@HyperNeutrino ಠ_ಠ It doesn't remove HTML tags
 
lol well of course not it just unescapes HTML escape codes
you have to remove tags yourself
 
or should I call it &zwbf; ?
 
3:59 PM
2. (&amp;|zwnb;)(.*~~~.*\1)(.) -> \3\2\3 (replace all)
3. ~~~.* ->
(hopefully correct)

@totallyhuman Bash, 3 bytes: lol File is named bash.tio.

to be fair you can't check the output later
also it's .code.tio i think
 
4:19 PM
cwd = current working directory?
I think the shortest is echo lol>a other than Neil's idea
 
doesn't work on tio for some reason
 
yes it does
o.O
 
or it does

that's the issue >_>
 
Q: What is the multicharacter equivalent of [^] in Python regex? I.e. match anything except the argument
 
misunderstood nvm
 
4:23 PM
isn't it still [^...]
 
No. [^abc] wouldn't match bca, but the anything except would
 
i'm confused
 
oh i get what you want. hm..
 
Let's say that (%string) matches anything except string. It would match foobar, foobarbaz and hello, but not string, substring or stringend
 
4:27 PM
ah
(?!abc) i think
hmm i wonder what tio would look like with unifont
 
It should match the testing2
I see why they say you shouldn't use regex to parse HTML
 
you're not even at the hard part

@Poke I'm not very good at regex :P
 
4:30 PM
it's when you have stupid stuff like <div>a<div>b</div>c</div>
 
a href="([^"]+)"[^>]*>(.*?)</a>
do that if you have to
 
@totallyhuman I decided to go with this, as < becomes &lt;
 
;-; is unifont not a font i can import
 
;-; that's why I don't use regex unless absolutely necessary
 
Regex is great. When you understand it. :P
 
4:33 PM
regex is a necessary evil
 
I'll put a /s in there for you
 
and that's the best way to put it :P
 
@Mr.Xcoder How? By using regex :P
 
I feel trolled /s
 
s/$/ \/s/
 
4:35 PM
(?!.*string)?
 
@totallyhuman s/s\/\$\/ \\\/s\//s\/\$\/ \\\/s\/g/g :P

Hi, I'm trying to first time post an answer to a question using C# but I'm a little unsure. Does anyone have a second to explain what I need to include in my answer? I tried reading around and finding examples, but I'm still a little unsure.
 
language, byte count and code
a trifecta shall suffice
 
Do I need to put the entire C# program in?
 
Welcome to the site! You need to include your language, your code and your byte count (assuming it's a code golf questions)
@CJ1992 What's the challenge you're going to answer?
 
4:42 PM
@CJ1992 is your submission a function or a program?
 
It's a program, It might not even be correct if I'm honest (It does it, but it's not exactly very golfy, and quite close to the example. :/ ). It's my first time trying to submit so it could very well just be wrong. Let me get the question back up.
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing How about regexr.com/3j57u
 
It was about comparing integers that were input as strings.

Q: Compare two numbers given as strings

CharlieI have a problem at work. I need to compare two numbers that come as strings from two different databases. The numbers may come with leading zeroes and/or leading/trailing spaces. So I may have "0001 " from one database and " 1 " from the other one. I solved the problem in C# with the following...

this one
 
alright
what does your program look like?
 
4:46 PM
@cairdcoinheringaahing You just have the worst luck when it comes to being ninja'd. :-(
 
@AdmBorkBork Yep. I was trying not to onebox though :P
 
@totallyhuman rextester.com/live/SLZ29995 At the moment it has some test numbers in it
I also broke it somehow :)
 
so the meat of the code is fine
 
Okay that's good news at least
 
just a couple things: input cannot be taken from a variable, you can either make it a function taking two arguments or a program reading from STDIN (or command line args)
 
4:49 PM
Okay
 
fixing that would make your code a valid submission
 
So, if I understand I count all of it? Even namespace etc
 
@CJ1992 This may help
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing ninja'd me :(
 
Yes! I ninja;d someone :P
 
4:51 PM
Thanks, I found the one for tips in C# but didn't think about finding a beginners guide :)
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing I can't tell what you mean by that
 
ಠ_ಠ It really does summon you, doesn't it? It's not a joke, right?
 
well DJ (sorry) counts as a ping so i don't see why not
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing Did you see my regex? Does it do what you want?
 
Okay well I'm going to head off home and then work on this code a bit more. Thank you for your help!
 
4:57 PM
@AdmBorkBork Oh yeah, forgot to reply, sorry. Yes, it does work. Thanks!
 
Woo! I made a regex do a thing!
 
@CJ1992 No problem! Hope you decide to continue to golf!
 
This is a momentous occasion for me.
 
^(?!.*string).+$ also works, of course
 
Mine's golfier. :p
 
4:59 PM
actually mine is for single-line strings, because I can safely remove the $
 
Mine's not actually golfier, I just wanted to say so.
 
@AdmBorkBork Don;t try to beat Neil at regex, he knows Retina :P
 
mine might be golfier for multiline strings too, but I hadn't made the effort to check
