@Fmbalbuena \z only ever matches at the very end of the string. \Z is the same as (?=\n?\z). $ is the same as \Z unless you turn on multiline mode, in which case it's (?=\n|\z).

Q: AoCG2021 Leftover: HexaGoL

This challenge is one of the two challenges which were planned for Advent of Code Golf 2021, but didn't fit into the 25-day schedule. Related to AoC2020 Day 24, Part 2. Given a binary configuration on a hexagonal grid, output the next generation of Hexagonal Game of Life using AoC rules: A livi...

@Bubbler i'll explain

what is the sequence?

[3, 2]

Bubbler

@cairdcoinheringaahing I agree with the comments there, especially the part that the task as-is may be unsolvable. How about a code challenge (tiebreak code golf), where you write three programs but overlapping properties are not counted, and the count of properties covered is the main score?

Fmbalbuena

[9, 4] [0, 0]

[9, 1] [1, 0]

Bubbler

I got to that part, yes

?

Fmbalbuena

[1, 1] [2, 1, 0]

RETURN [2, 2, 1]

Bubbler

02:05

Oh, reversed index plus 2 is [4, 3]

okay, so 4 mod 3 remains and 4 div 3 goes to the extra list

Fmbalbuena

ok, can you implement?

to add test cases?

Bubbler

Hmm

I think it's easier to explain as a number system instead of arrays

Fmbalbuena

i said implement

Bubbler

No, you don't have any right to make me implement it.

Fmbalbuena

ok

i can't do it in my head

@Bubbler is there a way to improve?

@emanresuA hi

lyxal

@user LoTMs are usually pretty expensive rep wise

Redwolf Programs

@Bubbler I don't think this should be starred, Fmbalbuena's message seems pretty clearly to be unintentionally rude due to a language barrier/misunderstanding.

Although I initially read it as "I said implement!", like a demand, on second read it seems more like a bad translation of "I meant implement"

Which would make sense given the context.

Bubbler

True, I'm aware of that

emanresu A

04:08

@lyxal Not really - jq lotm cost me ~1/4 of what I made during the month, and that was pretty popular

@RedwolfPrograms I read it as #2 :P

I'm doing a maths lesson about infinite sequences and half the answers are 1.

Bubbler

Is it about limit of sequences?

How to solve limits: Roll a d6. If it is 1/2/3 then the answer is 1. If 4 then the answer is infinity. If 5 then the answer is 0. If 6, toss a coin. If it is heads, the answer is e. Otherwise, surrender.

user

e? I've never gotten that one before

Bubbler

You will see it in certain forms

lim(n->inf) (1+1/n)^n = e

user

That sounds oddly ominous for some reason

Ah

emanresu A

@Bubbler Yep, pretty much

lim(n->inf) ln(n)^e is cursed tho

Bubbler

04:19

And once you learn that equation, you get weird exercises like "continuous compound interest" that no one uses in real life

emanresu A

~~because banks don't want to lose all their money~~

Nah, they'd just use it on loans :P

emanresu A

True lol - imagine interest is compounded yoctosecondly in the small print

is it possible to set up lgtm with private repos

i can't seem to figure it out

i did give the integration access to all repos in the org

Razetime

lgtm is only free for open source repos

hyper-neutrino

ah. ok makes sense

if i don't include a license the default is disallow taking/using the code, right? or am I remembering that wrong

pxeger

@hyper-neutrino in general that is how copyright works yes, although GitHub's terms of service include this provision

hyper-neutrino

07:37

interesting. so am I reading that wrong, or is it impossible to have a public repo on git for which you can fully deny permission to reproduce

emanresu A

If you wanted to do that, you wouldn't be using a public github repo

hyper-neutrino

i don't see there being a contradiction with wanting to license your code to not be able to be taken while also not being opposed to it being publicly visible

hyper-neutrino

hmm, i see. okay, so that seems to line up with what the TOS says about being able to use and display your code under the limitations of github's functionalities

thanks anyway

@hyper-neutrino also, choosealicense.com/no-permission

> Unless you include a license that specifies otherwise, nobody else can copy, distribute, or modify your work without being at risk of take-downs, shake-downs, or litigation. Once the work has other contributors (each a copyright holder), “nobody” starts including you.

If you ever were bothered to add a license, I'd suggest the MIT license. From choosealicence.com:

> The MIT License is short and to the point. It lets people do almost anything they want with your project, like making and distributing closed source versions.

Fun fact: github can add a licence to your repo for you if you go to the insights tab and then go to the community section

Here's a larger list of licences

i think i like GNU GPLv3

CMC print a random printable Unicode character

Adám

Define "printable Unicode character"

graffe

Something you can see

Adám

That depends on the font.

graffe

Can you explain?

Adám

Unicode defines the meaning of each code point, but not their exact look (even though there is a reference rendering, but fonts definitely don't have to follow that).

E.g. a font can choose to render every character as a box with the code point number inside. That's perfectly valid, and some fonts do this.

PyGamer0

10:28

^

Adám

@graffe What you do is say "Print a random Unicode character that neither has the White Space property nor is in the Unassigned category", but you should also specify which versions of Unicode are acceptable.

PyGamer0

what is the unassigned category, the private use areas?

why was PUA added to unicode?

so people can make Nerd Fonts :p

Unicode can encode many more characters than are currently in use.

@Bubbler realistically, though, Gruntz algorithm is fairly good.

@Adám hmmm (a.){1,} and (a.)+?

hyper-neutrino

+ is probably a bit more efficient than {1,}. idk though; I'm just assuming there are some optimizations that can be done for it

though if they really are exactly the same like I think they are, a good regex engine will probably just simplify {1,} down to +

Adám

Agreed.

@hyper-neutrino Yeah, by default you own any code you write (unless it's specified in something like an employment contract that the company you work for does).

caird coinheringaahing

The idea is to collect the indices where n appears in the sorted l

(And yes, I know there are better and shorter ways to do this.)

Ugh, how do I sort l inside the function, without affecting the array I called it with?

you'll have to copy it

you also need to do r=r.concat([i]) (or just r.push(i))

@Bubbler I have no idea how you'd be able to post >2 Qs a day, I'd run out of ideas so fast

Redwolf Programs

@pxeger Click the options menu next to the tag badge in your activity page to show a list, or if a tag badge isn't showing, then switch from tracking the next privilege to the next tag badge

Plus, you'd lose a lot of rep with 2 Qs a day, as you'd likely get 100-150 from each

@RedwolfPrograms thanks, that's pretty non-obvious...

@cairdcoinheringaahing Randomly browsing the Internet + digging the OEIS

Tracking badges vs privileges is a bit of a weird compromise UI feature

Bubbler

and I have weird affection to domino/polyomino problems, which have unlimited variations

pxeger

@cairdcoinheringaahing I like to take inspiration from the real world, based on problems I find myself solving

caird coinheringaahing

Same here

pxeger

My nephew got a game for Christmas, which has given me a list of about 10 potential challenges

caird coinheringaahing

But I don't do a massive amount of problem solving, plus all of my challenges that come from those inspirations feel like "filler" challenges

I'm coming to get you, graph-theory

caird coinheringaahing

I haven't had a challenge score above 20 since August :/

pxeger

I've had precisely three such questions in total lol

Bubbler

also I go through CP regularly and some of them make pretty interesting problems (when I/O restrictions are lifted)

pxeger

CP?

Redwolf Programs

Competitive programming

competitive programming a.k.a. online judge sites

pxeger

ah

caird coinheringaahing

@pxeger I've had 26 challenges of 25+, and 50 challenges that have scored 20 or higher

About 1/3 of my challenges score 20+

Bubbler

My top scoring challenge recently got to +50

pxeger

@pxeger I love the fact I said "precisely" here, and then proceeded to write the wrong number on the first revision

Bubbler

Heisenberg's cat just died somewhere xD

pxeger

How fast did it die though?

caird coinheringaahing

Now that its dead, we know its momentum, so we can never truly find it :P
