The Nineteenth Byte

Mayube

16:00

I think my bot is so efficient that it inflates prices to the point where bots hit infinity balance within 40 rounds

without my bot in there, prices are still absurdly inflated, but don't hit inf

Erik the Outgolfer

hm, I'm not sure if that will disqualify your bot

Mayube

well even without running my bot

this is with 1 lone trader, 3 chips, 1 monkeys and 1 passive

the final stock price is

3064495658889783590751541146101891843990147911009785527535034246173431862604134‌474783897522448359758656658966378674824633399232001085272541643437812963733147255‌894941865399896594323351561221393519135099663935522486227764047808690621405357314‌28

Erik the Outgolfer

why are you including 3 chimps?

Mayube

why not?

Erik the Outgolfer

are you doing it for testing purposes?

like, putting the chimps in so that you've got more players?

Mayube

16:04

yeah

the chimps all did really well

the worst of the 3 chimps had a 270 digit balance, while the best had a 295 digit balance

next best was your lone accountant with.. interestingly enough, the exact same balance as my passive trader

Both ended with exactly 1.4908771380498743e+244

Erik the Outgolfer

um, how are you sure that's "exact same"?

you can't see the whole number

Mayube

you know what I mean

AdmBorkBork

Apple is now worth $1 trillion

6

Erik the Outgolfer

I'm quite surprised by that result, I thought that my bot would get beaten down by random bots (they don't know what is good for them)

Mayube

the truly random bot, monkeys, did awefully

Erik the Outgolfer

16:09

yeah me too

Mayube

probabl,y because it ended up skipping a lot of rounds by returning invalid responses

which is kind of the point

Erik the Outgolfer

and going bankrupt too

Mayube

oh yeah good point

Erik the Outgolfer

so, in my case, my bot came in third

(one of each bot)

Mayube

in my case, your bot came 4th, behind the 3 chimps, and tied with the passive

I'll run it again with only 1 chimp

with only 1 chimp, yours came 2nd, ahead of Passive trader

but chimps was still waaay ahead

Pavel

16:13

CMP: grep, ack, rg, or ag (or something else)?

Mayube

lone had a 154 digit balance, chimps had a 306 digit balance

DJMcMayhem

@AdmBorkBork Holy scheisse

Erik the Outgolfer

I feel like the chimps have gotten extremely lucky

Mr. Xcoder

Poll on Phone companies

Sorry if I've forgotten something else that is important.

Oh yeah, Windows Phone, but who finds that best anyway? ;P

Pavel

1) Windows Phones are great 2) Why do you have Google Nexus and not just Google?

Also Windows Phones are covered by Nokia

Erik the Outgolfer

16:25

which is acquired by Microsoft IIRC

Pavel

Yep

Mr. Xcoder

1) Eugh 2) Becuase I'm strictly talking about phones 3) Right

Pavel

@Mr.Xcoder Right. I have a phone by google. It is not a nexus.

Erik the Outgolfer

e.g. Google Pixel

Pavel

Yes

Mr. Xcoder

16:27

Just tick the Nexus mark then

Forgot 'bout Pixel

Erik the Outgolfer

hm, was it you who voted for Apple?

Mr. Xcoder

Who else could it have been? :P I wanna participate in the poll too

Dennis

@Mr.Xcoder OnePlus

DJMcMayhem

@Mr.Xcoder In my life, I have owned 3 phones. A dumb phone, a really old Samsung, and a Pixel. I really like my pixel, but I feel like I don't really have a worthwhile opinion since I have no clue how any of the others are

Mr. Xcoder

@Dennis TBH I have never heard of that >_<

@DJMcMayhem I see. I have also owned 3 phones: Nokia, Samsung and Apple in this order. Intermittently have used BlackBerry, Huawei and HTC too, though

Erik the Outgolfer

16:31

note: I have a Xiaomi but voted for Huawei

Mayube

@Mr.Xcoder Sony?

I've yet to find an android I liked more than the Sony Xperia

Mr. Xcoder

I must revise that poll.

Revised (I hope) poll

Erik the Outgolfer

I hope I never have a Huawey phone

Mr. Xcoder

This time I included Xiaomi :P

Erik the Outgolfer

but my vote was always for Huawei

Mr. Xcoder

16:42

>_> Did I just type it with y in the second poll? /look_of_disapproval

Erik the Outgolfer

I hope I never have a Huawey phone

not in the mood for counterfeit

Mr. Xcoder

Someone else voted for Apple. Wonder who it might be :p

Dennis

I wonder what else they are wrong about. :P

dzaima

> it

Erik the Outgolfer

sure, who knows if it's a human?

Pavel

16:51

For some reason in the expression "who is it" and related forms "it" is perfectly acceptable.

Okx

@Mr.Xcoder you should allow multiple options

Okx

It'd be nice if there was some actual system for KOTH submissions

Beta Decay

18:29

@Okx What kind of system?

Okx

A way to make submissions and they get automatically added to the KOTH and given a score

Beta Decay

I see. It could be done if the controller was hosted online

AdmBorkBork

Wasn't someone (Nathan?) working on a meta controller?

Beta Decay

It was done in this one:

Q: Capture The Flag

This is a game of capture the flag, heavily inspired and based off of Red vs. Blue - Pixel Team Battlebots. That was an awesome question (thank you very much Calvin'sHobbies; I hope you don't mind that I shamelessly stole a lot of code from you) -- here's another team based king-of-the-hill. Hope...

Anush

anyone know any cython?

Pavel

19:03

Quartata does

quartata

yeah?

Pavel

"anyone know any ...?" => "Quartata does"

quartata

No I know

That was a prompt to ask the question

the fact that i have to explain this, proves that the english language is a Failure and a Sham. might as well pack it up linguists

OMᗺ

@quartata: Ever considered switching to Lojban?

quartata

pleased to announce that i am now officially deprecating the English Language on my feed. we encourage anyone using English to switch to Klingon for improved efficiency and information content

Tweeted by quartatertots on June 4, 2018 at 8:55 PM

however, I posted this out of pressure from the Imperialists

i do not actually endorse the "Time Slower" language

OMᗺ

19:12

Lol, idk anything about Klingon but I just assume it's worse than English

quartata

its nothing wrong with the language really

its very.... focused

OMᗺ

"Its vocabulary, heavily centered on Star Trek-Klingon concepts such as spacecraft or warfare, can sometimes make it cumbersome for everyday use.[citation needed]"

Guess you won't be talking about Cython in Klingon..

@quartata Apparently (^), yeah

Though I'm not sure if they'd count talking about Cython as everyday use..

Pavel

@quartata tbh I was just hoping to attract stars

Oh lol, actually one should be able to tell by the "s

Do you actually know it or did you use some translator/looked it up?

quartata

no I know a little, used to know more

although I did need a dictionary for computer and program

OMᗺ

Guess, usually you'd be talking about spacecrafts and warfare then

@quartata: What's var'aq?

Mr. Xcoder

19:45

CMC: Swap every 2 words in a string only containing spaces and letters. Example: Puzzles Programming Golf Code => Programming Puzzles Code Golf; Want some more milk boy => some Want milk more boy

DJMcMayhem

What if there are an odd number of words?

Erik the Outgolfer

Jelly, 6 bytes: Ḳs2UẎK

quartata

@OMᗺ apparently Klingon Forth. never seen it before

pretty funny though

Mr. Xcoder

@DJMcMayhem Leave the ending word unchanged.

quartata

(The actual word doesn't mean anything but it fits the phonology)

OMᗺ

19:48

@quartata That was my question ^^

Mr. Xcoder

The CMC is actually extremely useful to me because my friends and I only talk this way (with every other word swapped)

OMᗺ

Just thought there must be an esolang for it, so I had to look it up

Beta Decay

var'aQ is hard to use

The interpreter's buggy and the docs are lacking

Pavel

Also Forth

DJMcMayhem

@Mr.Xcoder sounds That to hard do

Mr. Xcoder

19:50

not It's you once used get it to

Erik the Outgolfer

V?

Beta Decay

Weird, I read that perfectly without realising it was swapped

DJMcMayhem

it's maybe pig-latin like. At confusing but first you then used get it to

@EriktheOutgolfer Strangely difficult

Beta Decay

Hm seems there are two var'aQ programmers on PPCG

DJMcMayhem

Oh wait, I forgot. I have the perfect plugin installed

Erik the Outgolfer

19:53

@DJMcMayhem asked I it's because easy usually "leave to last the unchanged" word

DJMcMayhem

@Mr.Xcoder òcxiwW.f l

@EriktheOutgolfer my with approach original, actually it work didn't there when an was number even words of, it but fine worked odd with.

Erik the Outgolfer

an that's oxymoron...

DJMcMayhem

Sorry

Erik the Outgolfer

I hate that twitter shows what people have liked on my timeline

It's making my feed relentlessly political when I'm not interested in that stuff

Pavel

20:49

I want tweets by people I follow sorted from most to least recent and nothing else

quartata

no

Beta Decay

I've just installed a new twitter client

Chronological order is so sweet

Pavel

My twitter is basically news + quartata

Beta Decay

Basically astrophysics and mountaineering for me

quartata

twitter is supposed to bring us Together. and Together. and Together. and Together. and Together. until there is nothing left.
