The Nineteenth Byte

12:00 AM

most of my "interaction" with your site has been trawling really old meta posts, so I have a lot of outdated notions in this here head o' mine

caird coinheringaahing

Those are the best meta posts to look at tbh

hyper-neutrino

fair enough :P i call it PPCG sometimes either out of habit or after seeing some old meta posts i've dug up to try to address, etc

caird coinheringaahing

I tried writing an answer, but couldn't think of the best thing to say, but I do have this: I joined after you 'went dark' and so never really knew you as a mod. However as I read about the history of PPCG more and more (I cannot tell you how many forgotten chat transcripts I've read), I came to realise just how active you were, and I think that you stepping down as a mod is a great shame. I really hope you keep golfing and stay active here (come join us back in TNB when you can!) — caird coinheringaahing Feb 21 '18 at 23:02

Wow caird I can't believe you ruined the meta-roll

hyper-neutrino

did this go in first posts or VLQ

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino I was in First Posts, which doesn't let you VTD

hyper-neutrino

ah

also it went unhandled so long it gave me the flag notification, lol

caird coinheringaahing

hyper-neutrino

it takes an hour for VLQ/NAA flags to appear for mods xD

caird coinheringaahing

12:08 AM

I custom-flagged it tho

hyper-neutrino

there was another NAA flag and community raised a VLQ on it

now that i think about it

since you custom flagged it probably showed the whole post and thus the flags...

Q: Should new challenges on Codidact be posted into The Nineteenth Byte?

Codidact is a related network of sites to Stack Exchange, created in the aftermath of behaviour by Stack Exchange in late 2019, in an effort to create a better Q&A network. One of the sites in their network is Code Golf, where a large number of CGCC users have started to contribute. The site has ...

caird coinheringaahing

   ([any] a, [any] b) -> [any]         = a molded to the shape of b
   (otherwise) -> [any]                = vectorise

and

One day I wrote something to compress ASCII, just by representing it with 7 bits instead of wasting an eighth. Just simple bitwise stuff.

aw, I hoped ⊤~0⍨ could be 1∩⊤ but it has to be ⊤∩1⍨ which is the same number of bytes

I saw ...}⍣n⊂... in APL, spent way too long looking up partition and wondering why it was there because I didn't see the ⍣, and now I'm back in an anti-APL mood

opinion on closing this question? I'm not sure "must use no loops but recursion" is particularly observable (it's very old and has a bunch of answers but many solutions seem to be either invalid or debatably valid or unclear)

John Dvorak

Pretty sure it's unobservable

@Wezl I'd like a syntax colourer/explainer that draws boxes around operators and their operands.

user

regex101 highlights groups and stuff as you hover over them. Something like that would be nice

Wezl

yeah my syntax highlighter is pretty bad, it doesn't color operators and functions differently

tbf that might be APL's fault for / and stuff

user

Blame schizophrenia :P

user

That looks almost like Scratch

Adám

Yeah, I'd like a Scratch-like interface for APL.

Programming with APL often feels like putting LEGO blocks together.

so SE front pages are getting silly alignment issues again

it seems like every time they fix some front-end display bug a new one appears lol

@Wezl Jelly, 3 bytes BṢḄ, takes input as an integer :P

Wezl

lol ok

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino Dot under, over dot S is sign :P

hyper-neutrino

@cairdcoinheringaahing i can never remember those :P

@cairdcoinheringaahing did you misclick the review or smth? it says you reviewed to leave open and then the close users list has you on it :p

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino No, I closed it after seeing the chat message, then had the review pop up. Couldn't click "Close" for the review as that requires casting a close vote which I couldn't do again, and I forgot Skip was an option

hyper-neutrino

@cairdcoinheringaahing ah. that makes more sense lol. yeah i was about to ask why you voted to leave open in case i was missing something and it was fine, and then noticed you did close it :P

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino It's pretty bad, but at least it isn't tagged with function, which I fully expected after I saw "function" in bold :P

hyper-neutrino

lol :D

oh yeah are we still looking to retire that

also I think we have a pretty decent consensus on posting codidact challenges here? your question is +6/0, my vote is +7/0 + me

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino Yes, but we're going slow

2:54 PM

ah are we retagging it out the slow way
