@RedwolfPrograms You know what? You've convinced me.

user

01:26

It's nice to have -p (that's the one that pretty-prints, right?) be the default, but some of the others look like they'd only ever be used for debugging and aren't too essential for most challenges

The formatting stuff would just move into the header/footer instead of the flags section

Redwolf Programs

I think you should keep the flags, and just discourage their use in actual answers, since they're good for debugging or using pip as a practical language (which it might be quite good for once you're familiar with it).

user

^

Redwolf Programs

Maybe add two byte operators that do what the flags did

For ones that don't already exist

And would be useful in golfing

user

If one of the I/O formatting flags does give you an edge in a challenge, that probably means something's wrong with the challenge's I/O restrictions

Redwolf Programs

Not necessarily

Kolmo challenges, for example

DLosc

01:28

@user I've used -l, -s, and -S pretty often for challenges. -P is probably most useful for debugging, true. -n is useful in theory, but I don't know if I've ever used it--usually -l is sufficient.

@RedwolfPrograms I thought we'd already established that "discourage their use" is not an approach that works when it comes to something that might be a bit cheaty but decreases the bytecount. :P

The point of this proposal is that you get the same functionality as the flags, without (ab)using flags.

Redwolf Programs

I mean, languages like C have flags that can run arbitrary code in zero bytes, but those are never used because they're obviously cheaty. If you specified in big scary bold font that Pip's flags are for debugging only and answers (ab)using them will be downvoted, they probably wouldn't be used.

Your idea is a pretty cool way to handle it though. I do think maybe they'd be better if they were at the end.

That gives you lots more options

user

@DLosc Ah, but it also wastes bytes, which goes against the first rule of Code Golf: mak smol

:P

Redwolf Programs

But it doesn't contradicts the zeroth rule

Which is don't cheat

user

⎕IO←1 What zeroth rule? :P

I thought of the idea: would the problem "Given following snippets, just combine them to make a program that does the following program. You can use same snippet as many times as you can" be a good idea for cobs ans robbers? Example: for ppencode and ppencode-like.

lyxal

W..why tf is onlyfans now advertising to gamers?

user

@nrgmsbki4spot1 So the cop would provide snippets Aba, daf and cbc to output DAFABACBC in Language X, and the robber could crack it by finding the program dafAbacbc, which outputs that?

@hyper-neutrino Let's take a look at the scoreboard: the highest voted posts on meta since you became a mod are the blog posts, the RO election, the revival of LOTM, a few policy questions, a few posts asking about improving areas that are lacking (new users, voting culture, accepted answers)

So, at least publicly, there hasn't been a massive amount of mod action taken, but that's mostly normal tbh, given that mods are, sort of by design, supposed to be more hands off once elected when it comes to community stuff

@hyper-neutrino One of the weird things about our old mods (by which I mean Martin, Dennis, Doorknob and Alex) was that they were also key drivers of site policy and rules. But that wasn't because they were mods, in fact a lot of people said they supported/voted for them because of their roles in setting site policy

Aaron Miller

@AncientSwordRage I had two strings representing newline-separate lists of things, and I needed to get only the things that were in the first list and not the second. The quickest and easiest way I could think to do it was `string`↵ `string`↵⊍⁋

Aaron Miller

@RedwolfPrograms There's a bit of inconsistency between your use of KotH and KoTH.

Redwolf Programs

Ah, that's from suggested edits

Aaron Miller

ah

Redwolf Programs

16:14

That whole paragraph had some strange conflicting edits, some of which were a bit further from the intended point, so I just rewrote it entirely.

Aaron Miller

Looks pretty good to me

I have a partial idea for a koth where you and the other bots are buying stuff from a store, and every round, or "day", it gets a bit cheaper. Different things are worth different amounts of points, and cost different amounts of money, and there's only so much of each thing, so there's a bit of game theory involved where you have to decide between paying more for it now, or maybe missing out later, or deciding between a bunch of cheap things or a few expensive things.

DLosc

@RedwolfPrograms I like how TIO handles command-line arguments: separate text boxes, each of which is escaped behind the scenes so you don't have to quote them to include spaces, newlines, etc. I don't like how ATO handles command-line arguments: a single text box that has to contain a properly formatted list (I assume JSON format).

Redwolf Programs

Sounds good. I'm hoping to minimize the number of cases where you need command line flags in the first place, but I'll go with something like TIO's implementation

DLosc

I like how ATO puts the timing details in their own text box, unlike how TIO puts them in the same box as stderr output.

Redwolf Programs

RTO probably won't have those at all by default

To discourage usage for fastest code, and because they're not super useful anyway

DLosc

16:21

I like how both sites allow you to collapse sections you don't need (and, I think, autocollapse empty sections, at least when you get there via permalink).

I like how TIO gives you multiple options for permalink format. The ones I use are Plain URL and CG.SE submission, but I could also see using the HTML and Markdown options.

Redwolf Programs

I think showing all of them by default is a bit cluttered, but I'll probably have a dropdown box type thing that lets you pick some less common ones

DLosc

Circling back to the command-line arguments, it would be nice if TIO had a way to specify multiple arguments in a single text box. Adding multiple argument boxes is a pain for Pip submissions that use more than 2-3 command-line arguments.

Aaron Miller

I like how the Vyxal TIO has the onscreen keyboard, maybe you could add something like that for languages with custom codepages?

Redwolf Programs

@DLosc Having both options sounds like the best way to go

@AaronMiller Maybe, yeah. I'll have to see how Vyxal does it, might be worth having as an option for SBCS languages.

DLosc

I like how both sites have Ctrl-Enter as a shortcut for "execute code." It's part of my muscle memory now.

Aaron Miller

16:27

@RedwolfPrograms You could do it the way that Vyxal does it, where each link type has a little icon that represents it. I feel like that would be better than a drop down, personally.

Redwolf Programs

Maybe not a dropdown, but like this pattern:

Where you'd pick "HTML", "wiki", etc.

Raw link, markdown, and CGCC submission would probably be there by default

Not sure if HTML/wiki/the others are really all that important though, now that I think about it

Aaron Miller

Oh yeah, that would probably be better than an actual dropdown. I think the icons would be easier to tell apart at a glance, though.

caird coinheringaahing

@RedwolfPrograms Looks good!

Aaron Miller

@AaronMiller Although I'm not a fan of the "Generate codegolf submission" icon for Vyxal; I prefer the icon that I used for the Grok interpreter: shameless self-promotion

lol

I just waited 20 minutes for a Vim macro to execute. ._.

nice

we were given a trick question about writing a predicate to double a number without actually having been taught about is/2, and like half the class wrote something that only takes one parameter

this is our third or fourth day on prolog

@UnrelatedString what

wtf were you doing on days 1 and 2

Redwolf Programs

Okay, I have a design problem for RTO

This is how I'm planning on showing which version of a language you have selected:

So I'm thinking I'll just make that a dropdown, and do two things at once.

It looks like this:

Problem is, when the version number is short, it looks odd:

Onions?

@DLosc the Markdown option is good for comments and chat (e.g. CMCs)

hyper-neutrino

@RedwolfPrograms i think they're pretty delicious

@RedwolfPrograms I don't have a problem with it. Maybe make the background color of the dropdown slightly different from the site background if you want to tie the number to the arrow visually?

Redwolf Programs

Maybe I could align the arrow to be directly next to the text

It'll be a bit of work though

pxeger

@RedwolfPrograms if you make it wide enough that it's always too wide it might be sufficiently clear

does width: fit-content work for <select>s?

Aaron Miller

@RedwolfPrograms Remove the dropdown arrow /hj

Redwolf Programs

@pxeger Not sure, I'll check

@AaronMiller I considered it :p

That's basically the default option, I made a custom SVG dropdown arrow

@pxeger It does not

pxeger

19:09

@RedwolfPrograms (you need -moz-fit-content for Firefox, does that help?)

Redwolf Programs

I'm using Chrome, so that's not it

I think for selects width works weird

pxeger

just tested and it seems to take the width of the largest option

Redwolf Programs

Yeah

I got a solution now

It uses a tiny bit of JS, same thing that makes the auto-resizing text boxes work

pxeger

how are you making this frontend, btw? given "a tiny bit of JS", is it as JS-free as possible?

Redwolf Programs

As JS free as possible yeah, but it'll use JS for the run button so it's not like it'll work without JS anyway

So avoiding JS altogether is just pain for the sake of pain

@RedwolfPrograms That, and it would make it easier to keep it compatible with the 3DS internet browser

@UnrelatedString If the number in question is either 0 or 1, and F->0,T->2, then that makes perfect sense

> Prior to statehood, Utah allowed polygamous marriage (at least de facto) and this issue greatly delayed its admission as a U.S. state, but it does not now recognize such marriages as valid and all people who entered into those marriages are now dead.

(Source)

I know what the poster meant, but the wording sure makes it sound like when Utah outlawed polygamy they executed all the people in polygamous marriages.

hyper-neutrino

you're telling me that's not what happened?

DLosc

I don't think so, but I'm not actually aware of the facts, so... :P
