Razetime

someone made a challenge called Python 3 107 bytes and you say they posted in the wrong place??

caird coinheringaahing

@emanresuA Nah, it's OSP's header parsing

emanresu A

1:03 AM

I looked at the thing

caird coinheringaahing

I just noticed that the Vyxal tips was posted on 4/20 (going by mm/dd) :P

emanresu A

Hm...

hyper-neutrino

the same day as the RO election results :p

caird coinheringaahing

@emanresuA Essentially, OSP finds the first <h1> or <h2> element, and uses that for the title. For some reason, OP used <b> for the title and <h2> for the examples :/

@hyper-neutrino How else would you celebrate being elected RO than by blazing it? :P

emanresu A

@cairdcoinheringaahing Not that this would help in this case, but since SE markdown supports all heading tags now, could you modify it to find the first heading tag of any size?

caird coinheringaahing

1:07 AM

Yeah I've been meaning to rework the title search function

For some reason, a lot of people use bold for the title

lyxal

@hyper-neutrino I blame you for that ;P

nice. would you consider adding it back to the LOTM nomination list then? i see that you removed it since it was still too heavily in dev for that when you initially added it

caird coinheringaahing

@lyxal Blame me, I'm the one who pushed so hard for it :P

caird coinheringaahing

Meh, the reply was about the RO elections, and I'm always happy to remind people that I pushed for those :P

caird coinheringaahing

Given two grid configs for GoL, is it impossible to determine, for any two configs, that the first will eventually transform to the second?

I'd imagine this is equivalent to the halting problem in GoL, which is unsolvable as it's TC?

emanresu A

That is tricky quetin

Wansen

@emanresuA javascript is yellow 100% Okay but why green and yellow

emanresu A

@Wansen Blame Github, not me.

Wansen

Huh

um

I don't get the joke @emanresuA

caird coinheringaahing

2:08 AM

@emanresuA I think you can answer it as "It is impossible, for any two configs", as you can say: consider any non-empty grid and the empty grid. Obviously, the empty grid will halt on the next generation, so this would be equivalent to finding whether an arbitrary configuration of cells halts. That's the halting problem, and as GoL is TC, it's not possible for any config. Therefore, there exists at least one pair of grids for which it is impossible to determine if one maps to the other

emanresu A

THEY'RE ALL GREEN!!!

caird coinheringaahing

That said, there is an infinite subset of pairs of grids for which the halting problem is solvable, right?

emanresu A

Determine if this Jelly program halts: 1

@emanresuA Vyxal is transpired to Python, which is then interpreted by C. Good luck making it fast ;P

caird coinheringaahing

Hell, even Python would be faster :P

Wow, GRT is OP. The top reviewers in FA are me (14) and Redwolf (12) both with GRT, then pxeger with 7, and WW with 6

emanresu A

And me tied with Aaron, with 5

I use GRT, I just often forget about the review queues

caird coinheringaahing

2:21 AM

Unfortunately, WW has too big a lead on me in the rest of the queues :P

emanresu A

I have 12 suggested edit reviews, and 11 from FA.

caird coinheringaahing

In fact, the only one (aside from FA/FQ) where I'm second is LA, where I have 226 reviews, against WW's 468 O.o

emanresu A

(6 of which are carryover from FP)

caird coinheringaahing

In terms of ordering in total reviews, I'm 8th / 12th / 11th / 4th / 1st / 1st / 2nd :P

Going by the queues as they appear from the top bar drop down

emanresu A

On meta?

DLosc

2:29 AM

I don't even try to do review tasks anymore. Y'all are too fast.

Browncat Programs

If you can, I'd really recommend getting GRT

Browncat Programs

Generic Review Tool, it opens new review tasks in a separate tab automatically, and optionally pings you

Wansen

Um

mmmm mmmmmmmmmmm

caird coinheringaahing

@emanresuA I rarely review on meta, because the only reviews are CV/RO reviews, and Tag wiki edits

emanresu A

2:31 AM

@cairdcoinheringaahing True

caird coinheringaahing

@Wansen Yes?

Browncat Programs

Oh, GRT works on meta (and all other sites on the network) now if y'all want to use it there

Wouldn't recommend it on SO though your browser might get bricked

Wansen

caird coinheringaahing

@SandboxPosts I knew this was coming :P

emanresu A

@cairdcoinheringaahing How?

Yes, it was what I was writing efficient Vyxal for.

caird coinheringaahing

I guessed, based on your last challenge

Seems like the most obvious followup

emanresu A

True lol

caird coinheringaahing

2:36 AM

Also, you realise n never appears past the n+1th row, right?

emanresu A

Yes, I do. That's what my program did

But I forgot to implement any sort of memoizaton, so it was very slow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

caird coinheringaahing

I have 6 bytes in Jelly :P

emanresu A

6 + flag in Vyxal'

caird coinheringaahing

Sorry, 5 bytes

emanresu A

Ugh, chaining.

I'd be interested to see iif someone can come up with an efficient algorithm (as in less than O(n^2))

hyper-neutrino

2:43 AM

you can probably do some math trickery with the choose function

caird coinheringaahing

Also, you realise that only multiples of 5 give an output other than 2, right?

(Except for 6)

hyper-neutrino

caird coinheringaahing

...ignore me, I only tested up to 20

hyper-neutrino

Jelly takes under a second to do all integers to 100

emanresu A

I don't have memoization.

caird coinheringaahing

Neither does my Jelly solution :P

Sorry, takes ~1.12 seconds

emanresu A

Ok, go find one which occurs >6 times!

caird coinheringaahing

BTW, those that appear more than twice are A006987

hyper-neutrino

could not find anything that occurred >6 times within 60 seconds

caird coinheringaahing

2:52 AM

I can found one that appears 6 times

hyper-neutrino

3003?

caird coinheringaahing

But nothing more than 6 times

@hyper-neutrino Yep

emanresu A

I got 120, that was all I could find :p

caird coinheringaahing

Only number under 1 Million that appears 6 times

(Not counting the second layer of natural numbers)

emanresu A

@cairdcoinheringaahing ?

caird coinheringaahing

2:55 AM

@emanresuA The second "layer" of Pascal's triangle contains two sets of the natural numbers

emanresu A

@hyper-neutrino Wait, how many times does that appear?

caird coinheringaahing

3003 appears 8 times in the full triangle

hyper-neutrino

oh huh

emanresu A

@cairdcoinheringaahing Wow, nice job.

caird coinheringaahing

6 times in the actually interesting bit, and twice in the outer layers

emanresu A

2:56 AM

Also anything that appears 5 times?

caird coinheringaahing

@emanresuA 6 numbers appear exactly 6 times (counting the 2nd layer)

Haven't found anything that appears 5 times

Most numbers appear 4 times. A few only appear three times

emanresu A

@cairdcoinheringaahing Anything in the central column on an even-numbered row, right?

caird coinheringaahing

Essentially, yeah

Everything appears at least twice, and nothing only appears once aside from 2

But no one cares about 2, so meh :P

emanresu A

3:07 AM

caird simply looked at the pascal triangle they wrote down earlier

caird coinheringaahing

Do you not have a 1 Million row Pascal triangle as a poster hanging above your bed?

After all, I am doing a maths degree :P

@emanresuA I'll give you a hint. For what n is nC2 <1e6 < (n+1)C2?

There's no need to calculate up to 1m

emanresu A

Aaah, big brain moment.

Bubbler

3:23 AM

@cairdcoinheringaahing 1414?

caird coinheringaahing

@Bubbler 1414 or 1415 if you want to calculate the row that contains 1m

Personally I prefer 1415 as I read it as 14,15. 1414 is just some boring repetition

If you want to report it too

pVC aecidiospore adduced

@BrowncatPrograms i most definetly will

Browncat Programs

Reported. The first few sentences of the README are actually a more convincing argument for why it's malicious than anything I could write:

> Do you want to troll an entire Minecraft server? This app is for anyone that wants to DDoS some stupid kid's Minecraft server. What you are seeing is a tool of evil, a tool of revenge. This Minecraft hack works on all servers, and it's free!

pVC aecidiospore adduced

@BrowncatPrograms mine is even simpler.

Browncat Programs

Usually if you're posting malware on GH you can make the claim that it's for education/research purposes, but that's a hard claim to defend when you yourself describe it as "...a tool of evil, a tool of revenge"

pVC aecidiospore adduced

Browncat Programs

The most worrying part about it to me isn't the software, it's the way it's advertised

pVC aecidiospore adduced

a tool that also deletes your computer

Browncat Programs

The guy talks about it like it's a fun prank to use on your friends, not something that's both possibly extremely harmful, and literally illegal

And that story about how they hacked on their friend's server, then DDOSed it whenever people got mad at him for hacking...

(Presumably, since I doubt it was actually over "[whether] Spongebob was a better anime than My Little Pony")

@BrowncatPrograms what's the point of reporting it? You'd need to also make sure that you report any other potential hosts

HEAD, PUT, DELETE, TRACE, OPTIONS, and PATCH.

pVC aecidiospore adduced

Heh?!

what are those used for?

lyxal

idk

they didn't tell us what the other ones do

pxeger

HEAD: like GET but only returns the header; typically for getting metadata

lyxal

they just told us that they exist

hyper-neutrino

7:34 AM

POST is for creating new entries and PUT is for modifying existing ones IIRC

pVC aecidiospore adduced

this looks like shapez.io

i hope I don't need to tell you what DELETE is used for

pxeger

OPTIONS: request a list of options that can be passed to other requests

but I do gotta write it

pVC aecidiospore adduced

@hyper-neutrino nope; just tell me about this word :-> IIRC

pxeger

7:35 AM

@hyper-neutrino PATCH is for modifying; PUT is for creating; POST is more generic for either

pVC aecidiospore adduced

@lyxal in which lang; for what assignment?

lyxal

@pVCaecidiosporeadduced C++, implementing a stack from scratch

7:36 AM

@pVCaecidiosporeadduced screw it I'll use codex to write my constructor

pxeger

yeah ok, PUT creates but if it already exists it updates or replaces

pVC aecidiospore adduced

@lyxal lol

pxeger

there's also CONNECT which is used with websockets or proxies I think

and TRACE is for debugging, like traceroute but for HTTP not IP

pVC aecidiospore adduced

@lyxal i am gonna try that

lyxal

@pVCaecidiosporeadduced don't forget to create relevant Node and LinkedList classes

hyper-neutrino

7:39 AM

can't you just have a LinkedListNode as just keep one of those around

pVC aecidiospore adduced

@lyxal why?

lyxal

@pVCaecidiosporeadduced because that's what we've had to do

pVC aecidiospore adduced

ok

lyxal

Create a stack using a linked list class we previously wrote

and don't forget to template it

@hyper-neutrino ?

pVC aecidiospore adduced

@lyxal ok i will use c

lyxal

7:41 AM

this is what it gave me:

template <typename T>
LinkedList<T>::LinkedList(const LinkedList<T>& other) {
    // LinkedList copy constructor

    _currentSize = 0;
    if (other._head != nullptr) {
        _head = copyRecursive(other._head, this);
    } else {
        return;

(the first 3 lines are mine)

hyper-neutrino

how does the LinkedList<T>:: part work

is that a namespace (in which case TIL you can have template params in namespaces??) and if not what is it

lyxal

@hyper-neutrino that's just a template

note the template <typename T> before it

hyper-neutrino

it just occurred to me that i don't know how to write a constructor in c++

lyxal

@hyper-neutrino it's the class name

pVC aecidiospore adduced

template <typename T>
class Node {
    public:
        Node *next;
        Node *prev;
        T value;
}

^ i think i am going right

yes

that goes into the .h file

the implementation goes into the .hpp file

pVC aecidiospore adduced

cool; now i know c++/c/python/java

hyper-neutrino

wait y'all use hpp as an extension?

pVC aecidiospore adduced

@hyper-neutrino i like to put everything in .h

lyxal

@pVCaecidiosporeadduced those need to be private BTW

hyper-neutrino

?

@hyper-neutrino short answer: no

@lyxal ok i will make them private

as in the person who mentioned .hpp

pVC aecidiospore adduced

ok

lyxal

@hyper-neutrino yes

pVC aecidiospore adduced

looked like a general question

hyper-neutrino

my cs class uses .cc so i'll need to get used to that since i usually do .cpp

lyxal

7:46 AM

@hyper-neutrino cpp for the concrete classes, h for the headers and hpp for the template class implementations

Node::Node(T value) {
}

what am i doing wrong

lyxal

@pVCaecidiosporeadduced you need to actually declare the constructor in the class

Also, implementation does not go in the header

pVC aecidiospore adduced

        Node<T>();

^ that in public:?

i could argue that accepting shouldn't exist on meta tbh

but i agree it should stay pinned; the only time people really use it is to mark which answer became the community-decided option at the time and if someone posts an update that a bug/FR has been adequately addressed

with things like concensuses where it should be solely based on community votes, it usually just doesn't get an accept anyway so it's fine

Well, moving in day was fun :P

Browncat Programs

How'd it go?

caird coinheringaahing

I've met 2 of my 4 flat mates, have seen (but not interacted with) another, and have no idea about the fourth :P

pxeger

Remember the #1 rule of Freshers' week: never say no to going out and meeting people

caird coinheringaahing

@BrowncatPrograms The weather made it bleh. Hot and muggy, hauling suitcases up 8 floors :/

@pxeger I never say no to that in my normal life :P

Browncat Programs

@cairdcoinheringaahing :/

But Freshers starts on Monday, today and tomorrow are moving in days :P

I'm suspecting that breakfast might be a good way to meet my other flat mates, I'm out having a beer by myself cause they've scattered/locked themselves in their rooms :P

pxeger

> they've scattered/locked themselves in their rooms

is in their room using TNB

hmm

caird coinheringaahing

> I'm out

:P

Mobile TNB is the best TNB :P

pxeger

oh lol

caird coinheringaahing

All of the windows here have those suicide prevention latches that stop them opening more than a crack, so being inside is like slowly melting :P

Careful now, lyxal knows your approximate whereabouts

@cairdcoinheringaahing we now know you live in an 8+ storey building, which narrows your location down significantly

7:41 PM

You also know the university I go to, and can probably figure out which halls I might be in :P

pxeger

@cairdcoinheringaahing I reckon any sufficiently motivated person could work around that latch, be their intentions suicidal- or thermal-based

@cairdcoinheringaahing exactly! lol

caird coinheringaahing

@pxeger Perhaps, but I'd get fined for messing with it :P

Granted, fines aren't an issue after suicide, but I don't plan on killing myself just yet :P

@pxeger If someone wants to stalk me, feel free. Doubt I'm especially hard to find, if you try hard enough :P

pxeger

"If someone wants to stalk me, feel free" is literally never a good idea to say

:p

caird coinheringaahing

Hell, if someone really wanted to kidnap me, they'd establish a CGCC account, become a TNB regular, then offhandedly mention they'd be in Bristol, and I'd suggest meeting up :P

Like what @pxeger did. Glad I managed to avoid being kidnapped there, boy was it close :P

pxeger

7:45 PM

lmao

caird coinheringaahing

@pxeger Being completely honest, I've never understood the problems around being stalked. Granted, never been stalked, and I'd probably change my mind if I was, but it's always seemed like something people can mostly ignore to me

pxeger

> never been stalked, and I'd probably change my mind if I was

personally I'd like to not have to find out first

I seriously can't believe I'm still coming across YT comments claiming COVID vaccines give you blood clots

More people die every minute from COVID than ever did from vaccination

And I doubt any of the people making those comments are pregnant women, who were the only group that had a risk of blood clotting :p

But if they don't want free 5G that's their choice :p

@cairdcoinheringaahing Aren't stalkers creepy af lol

Besides, not all stalkers are like rak1507, some, like pxeger, might even go and try to kidnap you

> just yet

Hello

@BrowncatPrograms citation-needed, but probably true.

Browncat Programs

If you look at the worldwide stats, it's typically around 10k deaths per day. It's lower right now, it's been much higher before, but it tends to be around there. That's about 7 deaths per minute. IIRC there were 3 deaths from the J&J vaccine.

user

Was it confirmed that they died because of the vaccine?

I thought it was mostly because they were old

Browncat Programs

For those 3 yes I think, the other 85 no.

emanresu A

Still, most likely more than 7 people have died because of vaccination (smallpox especially)

Browncat Programs

8:59 PM

@emanresuA Ah, I meant the COVID vaccine specifically

emanresu A

@BrowncatPrograms Oh ok.
