@Lyxal Just not recieving notifications. And I don't know why, probably because SE doesn't parse Zalgo correctly.

@Lyxal to "converse" is to talk with another person.

To "versate" is to transfer something to another position.

A "verse" is a part of an English text.

The prefix "con-" means to combine various things into a single thing.

The suffix -ation means the act of doing something.

I'm trying to make a bounty for a practical language.

Q: Golfing Class of a language

I feel like we may have enough data on this site to meaningfully break programming languages into classes. What I mean by classes is akin to Go's ranking system: If a player can win 90% of even games against a 2 kyu player, the AGA believes he or she is 1.33 ranks higher, the EGF believes (s...

Let's see... Forth achieves a pretty high score (876).

Tcl (the average of both scores) seems to be less concise than Forth.

Uhh, REXX achieves a higher score here. (901)

Powershell achieves a high score, but it's too popular here.

REXX has 127 answers...

REBOL has 199 answers and has an impressive score of 1010!

As for Forth, uhh, there are 498 answers.

Wow.. Mumps achieves 974 score with just 65 answers! It's definitely worth cultivation.

sporeball

i wonder how long this query will run for now that i've started it

Λ̸̸

@sporeball Which query?

Candidates: Forth < REXX < Mumps < REBOL.

sporeball

with CodeGolfQs as ( select distinct Id from Posts where ..., the one mentioned in the Elo ratings

ah there we go

Λ̸̸

05:28

Can you paste the result?

sporeball

oh i was going to ask "how do i embed it properly" but i guess it doesn't

this should be it data.stackexchange.com/codegolf/csv/583351

Λ̸̸

Let's see the answers/score ratio of these languages.

The smaller one is the winner.

sporeball

aw, naz is nowhere to be seen in the rankings

i mean that's fair enough but i at least wanted to know how badly it scores :p

Λ̸̸

Forth: 498/876 = 0.5684931506849316

REXX: 127/901 = 0.14095449500554938

REBOL: 199/1010 = 0.19702970297029704

MUMPS: 65/974 = 0.06673511293634497

Uhh, looks like MUMPS is the most concise practical language so far, with the fewest answers...

@sporeball Did you check your query?

Looks like Pyke is more concise than Jelly. :)

I hope that 05AB1E is seeable somewhere over here.

The csv result seems huge.

Λ̸̸

06:36

Well, I refreshed the Elo ratings of languages.

Lyxal

@sporeball neither is Keg, and it performs relatively well

So I suspect it's too new.

Λ̸̸

@Lyxal 05AB1E is quite an old language. Given that it's very concise, it's still not on the list...

I'm going to query the csv myself...

@Lyxal Pyth's score has gone up recently, probably due to isaacg recently starting to use it.

Lyxal

06:52

It is based on the number of users

If there's less than 10 distinct users, it gets excluded

Hence why naz and Keg both don't show up

Λ̸̸

@Lyxal So how do I change this in the query?

Lyxal

You don't

It's in the processing program

Λ̸̸

There's definitely something in this Python program that does this exclusion.

is there a rule about who gets the bounty on a code-golf question?

for codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/203772/…

Adám

> If you do not award your bounty within 7 days (plus the grace period), the highest voted answer created after the bounty started with a minimum score of 2 will be awarded half the bounty amount (or the full amount, if the answer is also accepted). [source]

Anush

@Adám That's a little mean. I was just wondering because the shortest solution is completely incomprehensible

so I can't judge its quality at all

Adám

@Anush Maybe tell ngn to fully explain the code if he wants the bounty. It is just an APL dialect, not very complicated at all.

dzaima

11:46

@Anush you can arbitrarily decide who gets bounties in general. It's a code-golf question, why would you expect readable code?

Anush

13:33

@dzaima You make a good point but.. I would expect at least one other person to be able to read the code

is that true for ngn's answer?

@Adám can you read the answer?

dzaima

@Anush there's a high chance that there's noone of ppcg that can read Canvas code, are all my answers invalid? :p

Anush

@dzaima I will leave that question hanging... :)

Adám

@Anush I can certainly parse it, i.e. know which symbols form tokens, and which built-ins bind which. My main problem with K is that the built-ins are heavily overloaded, so I can never figure out which one of the many possibilities is being used. With a cheat sheet, I probably could. Translating it to APL should be rather trivial.

Anush

thanks all

my main question is if I should add a bounty to codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/204010/… to see if anyone can parallelise it. I am not sure how many high performance coders we have left on the site

and the existing code is pretty optimised

We used to have Ton Hospel, who was amazing

and someone who coded in nim

Adám

@Anush ngn might bite.

Anush

13:42

I feel in general the site hasn't recovered from the SO scandal

@Adám that would be cool

@Adám I should definitely give him/her the bounty in that case :)

dzaima

@Anush a reason could be there's ±no reason to (not much has changed, as far as i'm concerned).

Anush

@dzaima I thought SO went so some lengths to try to solve the problem. I remember reading some messages from a new person they had hired

Adám

@Anush I think code golf has decreased globally. The new site on TopAnswers doesn't see much traffic either.

Anush

@Adám oh... half my question are coding challenges rather than code-golf. I don't know where else to ask them!

Adám

@Anush Other challenges are welcome there too.

Anush

13:49

thanks!

how can you find all the speed challenges?

dzaima

@Anush they also fired some people i would've trusted. to me their response is more of "ugh, fine, we'll do something" than genuine acknowledgement of any problems

Anush

topanswers.xyz doesn't list it as an option

@dzaima got you

Adám

@Anush Look at the hint in the search field: {speed challenge} should filter to only that type (though there are none yet).

@Anush What do you mean?

Anush

@Adám on that page there are categories in boxes. topanswers.xyz/cplusplus, topanswers.xyz/tex-mar-deva etc. I don't even see a search box!

Adám

@Anush Oh, those are separate communities, like the SE sites. Go to the code golf site. It is for other challenge types too, just like here.

dzaima

13:55

@Adám that's more of a recursive "too small/scattered community" community problem, SE worked really well for atracting/keeping people in. iirc there was at least one other code-golf site that had appeared, and also Axtell (which seems to be mostly frozen unfortunately)

Anush

@Adám ok.. this interface needs work. There needs to be a link to list all the tags for example

Adám

@Anush The devs are very receptive. Participate in Meta, and you'll see changes soon.

Anush

wow that's broken. I just tried to join

it says I should record a long key. But you can't copy and paste it!

so now I have no record of it

dzaima

@Anush you can see it in the user profile (but yeah, that's very unhelpful)

Anush

ok posted just two suggestions for the moment to Meta

is there some way to sort questions by different criteria?

their chat seems to be called The Nineteenth Byte??

dzaima

14:07

@Anush i more find it interesting that the site-wide chat even has a name

@Adám another problem is moving. if i wanted to properly participate in TopAnswers, i'd have to set up a dark theme, and, this time, i don't have anything to base it off of.

(the problem before that being missing features, which can be seen above by Anush)

Anush

yes it seems to be missing a great big long list of simple and natural features currently

dzaima

Anush

I had a friend who worked on google calendar

to this day I am not sure what they do all day :)

@Adám how do you set the tag before you ask the question? I can see how to do it afterwards.

actually.. I can't see how to do it at all any more

Adám

@Anush I've requested the ability to do so.

@Anush Just open the question's page, then click the tag adding thingy [+○)

@dzaima Requested.

Anush

14:24

@Adám I think I am being blind. Where do you see the tag adding things? imgur.com/a/n4lE2nh

Adám

@Anush As you mentioned, you can only do it after submitting/editing (and as I answered, I've requested the ability to do it before/during).

Anush

ah I see. Even afterwards is not that obvious. You can't do it from the "edit" screen either

Adám

Right. TA still has lots of rough edges, but the main page has improved a lot. If I understand correctly, the edit page is next up for an overhaul.

Anush

TA?

topanswers :)

Adám

TopAnswers.

Still, it is pretty impressive for (what I think is) only 2 devs. New features tend to take on the order of 6-8 days, with tweaks taking 6-8 hours. Compare that to SE…

Anush

14:28

are you one of the devs?

Adám

@Anush No, not at all. I've only made a lot of suggestions.

dzaima

@Adám beside the tag thing, the edit page is probably the page of the site i like the most. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anush

I really think they should focus all their efforts on usability for newcomers

maybe they are already of course

Adám

@Anush That requires feedback from newcomers ;-)

@Anush Look at the change log!

Anush

@Adám well yes and no. If the devs have no feeling for UI design I think the project is doomed to remain niche

Adám

14:33

@Anush That is indeed a valid concern. I was pretty taken aback with the UI at first.

I need help deciphering code in GAP please

Sum([ 1, 2, 2, 1 ]); equals 6 as you might expect

v:=List(sp,row->Sum(row,i->v[i])); equals [4,2] for reason I can't work out

sp equals [ [ 1, 2, 2, 1 ], [ 2, 2 ] ];

any ideas how you get [4,2]?

v is initialised to [1, 1];

in summary.. v:=[1,1]; sp:=[ [ 1, 2, 2, 1 ], [ 2, 2 ] ]; List(sp,row->Sum(row,i->v[i])); gives [4,2]. Why?

dzaima

16:14

@dzaima minimum usage requirement acquired (or, well, at least the main page..)

(left-side red line is a screenshot artifact, no clue why that's there)

Christian Sievers

@Anush Sum(l,x->f(x)) sums all the values of f(x) with x in l

And List(l,x->f(x) returns a list of all the values of f(x)

Anush

@ChristianSievers thanks! I just worked that out. I am trying to work out what you are doing in res:=[];;v:=[1,1];;for i in [1..5] do v:=List(sp,row->Sum(row,i->v[i]));Add(res,v[initstate]);od;

can you explain it at a higher level? We are meant to be counting the number of strings of length n that can reach an accepting state

the first iteration just counts the lengths of the two columns with 0s removed

and outputs the first of these values as the count

so that just says that starting at state 1, how many different pairs return to some state. That is 4 and is clear

so now v = [4, 2]

Christian Sievers

The List/Sum thing is sparse matrix / vector multiplication

Anush

ah ok. So mathematically if the transition matrix is M we start with v = [1,1] and compute M*M*..*Mv ?

Christian Sievers

16:31

Yes. And taking v[initstate] is a short way to premultiply init, i.e. the 0-1 vector which identifies the initial state

cool. I am going to reimplement this part in Julia but that has sparse matrix-vector multiplication built in I believe

@ChristianSievers I don't know if you saw but Kaseorg's amazing code can compute the DFA for at least 16!

Christian Sievers

Yeah, it is amazing!

Anush

@ChristianSievers I did wonder if GAP might like that code now

Christian Sievers

How much memory did it take?

Anush

for 16 I am running it again at the moment to time it. Currently using 34GB RES and 44GB VIRT

it might go up a bit

I found a computer with a lot of RAM

this is using 32 bit ints everywhere. For 17 we might have to use 64 bit ints which will make everything much more expensive

I think they prefer to stay GAP-only. They have used code in other languages before, but this seems far outside its usual realm. They still might like to know about it, it's always good to have options.

How does memory usage compare to the GAP code?

Anush

GAP uses much more memory. Kaseorg's code seems to be ~400 times faster and use less than half as much memory

and it's not even parallel!

i am not sure exactly how much less memory it uses as I don't have a nice way to measure peak RAM usage

I just state at top :)

hmm.. let me try to get M right

1 2
2 0
2 0
1 2

if that is M then M*v can't be right

what should M be?

Christian Sievers

This seems to be the transition table

Anush

yes. What do we need M to be to perform the multiplications?

ah yes of course. let me try that

Christian Sievers

i-j-entry: how many ways to get from state i to j

Anush

sorry that was meant to be a reply above

Christian Sievers

16:51

(or from j to i, I never remember)

both is possible, one just has to adapt the rest of the computation

Anush

[[2, 2], [2, 0]] it seems

this still doesn't work

Christian Sievers

yes. And the sparse representation doesn't directly allow 2 as entry, so has repetitions

what are you trying? This should be correct

Anush

I just doing it with maths and no code currently

Say M = [[2, 2], [2, 0]] and v = [1,1]

then M*v = [12, 8]

oops

let me try again...

M*v = [4, 2]

M*(M*v) = [12, 8]

M*(M*(M*v)) = [40,24]

and we want [ 4, 12, 32,...] I believe

this is for k = 1

Christian Sievers

oh, I think that should be [[2,2],[0,2]]

Anush

of course!

thanks so much. I will now learn how to program in Julia :) I have never done it before but it seems a good excuse. Hopefully the sparse matrix vector multiplication will be fast

Good luck!

Toying with a golf language idea where the minimum unit is a bit instead of a byte, and figured out a cool way to delimit a Unicode string. You only need 2 bits to declare the end of one, as a bonus

10xxxxxx is the bit pattern used for "tail" bytes in a UTF-8 character, and is not legal on it's own, so simply delimit the string with the illegal 10 bit pattern

as long as all characters within it are legal, this works perfectly

I wonder if languages with an alternate codepage could take advantage of that

10xxxxxx is enough room to stick 64 possible operations after a UTF8 string

this place is a lot deader than I remember.

Q: Base-phi converter time!

The Golden Ratio Bureau is obsessed with this new thing they call base-phi. You see it and decide to code-golf, as is your natural instinct. To be specific, base-phi is a number system like base 10, except it uses the number phi, or the golden ratio, as its base. A ones digit would be x*10^y, bu...
