Part of Advent of Code Golf 2021 event. See the linked meta post for details.
The story continues from AoC2015 Day 24, Part 2.
Here's why I'm posting instead of Bubbler
To recap: Santa gives you the list of gift packages' weights. The packages must be split into multiple groups so that each grou...
Hopefully someday in the next decade or so we'll have quantum computation chips on PCI slots of something, so we can run test cases for golfed programs lol
No. Remember that quicks use the link directly before them, so that's trying to filter on ³, which is a nilad, and doesn't make sense. It's like filter(lambda: 100, list) in Python
You can group the links together using Ɗ to filter on the entire thing: Try it online!
But, in this case, you don't need to start a new monadic chain with µ, so you can remove that and just take the arguments by the command line and it works as intended: Try it online!
Ok, this is so weird. I'm watching a TV show, characters are visiting someone in a hospital and go to the cafe for a chat. Except, the place that they're filmed in as a "cafe" is the lobby of my uni's maths building. Which I walk through 3 times a week.
@cairdcoinheringaahing Oh it gets weirder. They're now walking back to the hospital room, and are walking through the maths building, down a corridor that I walk down most days. They have stopped and are talking directly outside the room I was in yesterday for a lecture O.o
In fact, they're now having a chase scene through the building O.o
It does mean that when they cut between chase bits, I know that they've just chosen random bits of the building, cause this mfer ran up two flights of stairs to the first floor, then cut to him jumping into the lift on the ground floor :P
CMQ (repost to solicit more opinions): Which characters other than printable ASCII + newline are the most useful for a golfing language to support in its strings? I have four slots available.
@emanresuA Not quite sure what you're asking. Because of reasons (which I can go into if you like), my default string type will be able to contain 100 different characters. Printable ASCII + newline makes 96.
@emanresuA Hmm, good point, but I think that won't work for what I'm planning. Although I may also add a different syntax for Unicode strings at some point.
@DLosc Interestingly, it appears that the building is more or less unchanged (one of the rooms had some medical props in it), except for a random 2 seat bench that got added for a single shot in the corridor, then wasn't in the next shot ಠ_ಠ
They changed exactly 3 things: in one of the lecture halls, they brought in a bunch of medical equipment, as it was some injured guy's room. They added a random bench for one shot. They got rid of all the students :P
My previous employer let a film crew shoot a scene using our IT office once. I don't remember what kind of room it was supposed to be in the film, except "not an IT office". Never saw the finished product. It was something low-budget.
I created the Vanilla JS site.
I didn't coin the term "Vanilla JS" - it's like asking someone if they invented the term "Blue Chair". Blueness and Chairness have been things for thousands of years, and similarly, "Vanilla" in the software world usually means "plain" - Plain JS. I remember seei...
What general tips do you have for golfing in Chef? I'm looking for ideas which can be applied to code-golf problems and which are also at least somewhat specific to Chef (e.g. "remove unnecessary whitespace" is not an answer).
Please post one tip per answer.
What I'm mostly saying is that you should think about what you want your language to be good at, and come up with some less common atoms/modifiers that would be useful for your language. Right now your atoms and modifiers look like a pretty typical but short list, without anything that'll give it an advantage or any "personality" if that makes sense
"Not using at all" is a good one, sacrificing less common operators is hard to do because of the "but what if I need it for this one scenario" feeling, but it's a risk vs. reward thing
I like what Husk does to save on operator counts, combining boolean-returning functiond with non-boolean-returning ones (e.g., "is prime" with "where is this in the prime numbers sequence")
oh yeah reminds me one of the 89 things making me not bother actually working on perhaps is that i can't rip jelly off too much because a lot of builtins are best used with some idiomatic patterns of arrays of truthy and falsy values and i'm not sure how much i want to just slap an iverson bracket operator on there and call it a day
it's funny how you can both clearly tell that it has a lot of stylistic similarities to the other tracks and immediately judge that it's just not right even before the vocals kick in
CMC: Unrepeat a list, fractionally. Given a list, determine the highest value f such that if a sub list were repeated f times, it would result in the original list. [1,2,3,4,1,2]=>1.5, [1,1,1,1,1,1]=>6, [1,1,1,1,4]=>1
@Adám no matter what base the "10" in "base 10" is interpreted in, it always means that base. So in decimal, 10 means ten, which is the base of decimal. But if 10 is interpreted in binary, it means two, which is also the base of binary, so "base 10" is ambiguous
@Fmbalbuena the tour page used to do something (i forget what) when you pressed up up down down left right left right b a (known as the konami code), but they removed it along with pretty much everything fun
