That's a very good point that an alternative community will never be the same as CGCC. I hope things work out around here. — Lyxal 4 mins ago

@Lyxal Yeah, I hope that too!

@LuisMendo I've only recently started to feel like I'm fully involved with this community, and I don't want to give that up yet.

Q: Why are you wasting your time and brains on made-up nonsense problems like "code golf"?

I must seriously say that I'm appalled by what I see on this "code golf" category of Stack Exchange. Some extremely smart people are sitting here solving made-up nonsense "problems" when there are a trillion extremely challenging real problems to fix in this world. The entire ecosystem of non-pa...

@Lyxal Either that's a ketchup stain, or you forgot to update the explanation in codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/198432/17216 when editing it for -1 byte.

@Deadcode oops, I've smudged my sauce everywhere

I'll have to clean it up with an updated explanation

Is it normal for reputation increase to be truncated to 200 per day? (260 got discarded)

Lyxal

@Deadcode yes, I got rep capped yesterday

200 rep per day

@Lyxal Right, I noticed that.

CMQ: how many of y'all around here are left handed/cross dominant/ambidextrous?

Deadcode

Right-handed, right-eyed, and right-footed, here.

@Bubbler I've added you to the access list, thanks for giving TopAnswers a go :)

Bubbler

@Jacksaystrytopanswers.xyz Wow, that's fast.

Jack says try topanswers.xyz

@Bubbler pure coincidence, I happened to just get up ;)

@Jacksaystrytopanswers.xyz Btw, just one small bug: the "log in" button isn't working on the "Main" site (what you get when you access topanswers.xyz without being logged in).

Jack says try topanswers.xyz

@Bubbler thanks, we'll get that fixed!

I've added it to the issue tracker: github.com/topanswers/topanswers/issues/7 — please feel free to add bugs there (or ping me, I don't mind which)

Q: How does one calculate bytes for a solution to a Code Golf scenario?

I am new to Code Golf, and would like to start answering questions/scenarios posted on this Stack Exchange Site. I have seen many scenarios posted before, and have come up with solutions for said scenario, as well as seeing how a answer is submitted for a given scenario (i.e. the language name, f...

Q: Super permutations

Super permutations Input: A string The program should loop through all lengths of the input (decrementing one each time), generate all combinations with replacement of the string, then make permutations out of the generated combinations, and display all of the strings. They can be separated wit...

Q: Choose unconsecutive files

Given a positive integer and a file-clicking sequence, provide the files resulted from the process. (I hope there isn't a formula for this.) What does shift & ctrl do? Given a selected position, Shift selects all the files between the starting position (the initially selected position) and the...

If no one minds, I will try my CMC again

CMC Write code to construct a nondeterministic finite automaton over the alphabet of pairs of bits that accepts the word (𝑎_1,𝑏_1)(𝑎_2,𝑏_2)…(𝑎_𝑛,𝑏_𝑛) iff the binary words 𝑎_1𝑎_2…𝑎_𝑛 and 𝑏_1𝑏_2…𝑏_𝑛 have Levenshtein distance up to two

@Anush are you thinking of posting a generalised average levenshtein distance challenge, along "average number of strings with distance up to D" given D and the string length n?

Anush

18:51

Yes I was

What do you think?

Kritixi Lithos

what's the winning criterion, fastest-code or code-golf?

Anush

I am ambivalent. What do you think?

I guess fastest code might not make sense

But I am not sure

@KritixiLithos do you understand how to do it already?

Quintec

19:14

if the NDFA is an important part of the challenge, I would have it be code-golf with respect to it somehow, ex. least states? I feel like the coding part is not the interesting part @Anush

Anush

19:25

@Quintec you could be right. I gues

s . I don't have code to do it currently

Are you able to produce the results for k=5 for n up to 30, say?

I don't very I can write a challenge unless I have the exact values really

CMC: Output an infinite list of those positive integers which are greater than or equal to the value of the reverse of their binary representation (so I think 11 is the first value you skip as 1011 < 1101).
