@hyper-neutrino Off-topic, but help! I broke the site a bit I think; I have my chat profile set to Retrocomputing, but I don't have mod. (Earlier I had it set to codegolf and I did have mod, for some reason.) Now changing my profile parent does nothing. Can you try fixing it please?

hyper-neutrino

ah, playing with chat parenting and getting locked out of mod

something i am all too familiar with

yeah i think this works? i changed your parent to smth else and back and then refreshed

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

Maybe you just got demodded and stuff's still caching on main :p

wizzwizz4

@hyper-neutrino Hooray, thanks.

I think only mods changing it bypasses the cache, or something.

@taRadvylfsriksushilani That was the second thing I checked.

hyper-neutrino

@wizzwizz4 maybe

that'd make sense since force changing parents is probably mostly used to copy bans lol

wizzwizz4

I should've left it on “I am a CGCC mod”. Then I'd've had jurisdiction here.

@cairdcoinheringaahing you should point out to him how much moderation and reviewing I've done ;-)

caird coinheringaahing

@Neil idk, with your 31 edits, you've done more moderation than a lot of users here :P

Neil

if I wasn't so late I'd ask where you got that number from but I probably can't find it due to tiredness on my part

caird coinheringaahing

Only 58 of 110771 users have done >80 edits, and only ~11k have done any edit at all

@Neil visit your profile, then the activity tab. Shows the number of posts you've "significantly" edited (aka, not a tag edit)

@cairdcoinheringaahing and that number excludes editing my own posts right?

caird coinheringaahing

01:22

@Neil Yeah, it only counts non-tag edits to other users' posts

/users?tab=Editors counts any and all edits a user makes

I think, still don't fully get that tab

@emanresuA the flags thing is misaligned, and the icons at the top look a bit haphazardly placed?

@cairdcoinheringaahing wait why are the drop down arrows rendering as emoji?

@emanresuA did you not use detail tags?

@lyxal No idea

It does the arrows for you

Unicode characters

lyxal

@emanresuA it also does the hide/unhiding of text boxes for you

It doesn't use Unicode characters

And it's what we use for our online interpreter

emanresu A

Okay, I'll try that in a separate branch. For now, I've hopefully fixed some issues with screen size.

quick qns are my puzzles not interesting?

Fmbalbuena

Puzzles is not CGCC questions, Do you mean Challenges?

DialFrost

03:15

same thing lol ye

the ones in the sandbox

Fmbalbuena

Ok, I want to answer in Jealous (My golflang) if I can do.

DialFrost

which one lol

i posted 3

Fmbalbuena

Sandbox post or challenge?

DialFrost

sandbox

i havent posted yet

its the first 3

not including pajonk's challenge

Fmbalbuena

All are hard, I can't do until someone posts Explained answer.

DialFrost

03:18

oh

but are they interesting

cuz no one is commenting

like no upvotes no downvotes no nothin

Fmbalbuena

You Can post Any feedback? If No one is talking or You Think that you need feedback.

DialFrost

okey thx

very funny

lucky i didnt click

:P

Ok, that is an example, I can't find a cool sandbox post

This is a example, I can't think a sandbox post so I decided to rickroll

anyone willing to review my challenges

emanresu A

Sorry, gotta calculate ^

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

What kind of math class makes you do that? Pls let me know so I can make sure to never take it lol

DialFrost

haha

i mean the equation actually quite simple only 1 var but nvrm lol

anyone?js leave a comment if u feel my challenge is bad/good

thx

@taRadvylfsriksushilani Calculus

Turns out it's just the infinite series for 7 sin(π/3)

DialFrost

lmao

emanresu A

04:29

@DialFrost By other bracket pairs I mean <>, [], {}. By string output formats I mean can we output as [1,1,[1,1]], [,,[,]], [[],[],[[],[]]], etc

DialFrost

oh ic

sry

forgot to include tat

ig i shld add right?

so ppl cant rly just use () regex

changed @emanresuA

anyone else if possible pls review my challengse tysm

@emanresuA not me: sits down with pen and paper, and starts working out the sum, then realizing that there is a damn Infinity in the problem

Q: Bracket Depth List

Challenge Your challenge is simple, calculate the depth of each matching brackets in the given input e.g. (()()(()))->[[1,1,[1]]], and output it in the form of a list/array/string representation For every nested brackets however, you may assume that you have to create a new list for it Test cases...

DialFrost

wow 2 views 2 upvotes impressive lmao

thejonymyster

05:06

@taRadvylfsriksushilani its not for class, its a filler excuse

i use that same equation all the time

"hey man can you watch my pets for a week"
"sorry, i gotta calculate this sum"

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

Ah, the classic three-body-fluid-dynamic-compound-hyperbolic-interest formula

Unrelated String

so glad i learned that one

PyGamer0

i hate compound interest

i hate it even more when i cant type properly on android

DialFrost

@UnrelatedString u think i shld delete?

Unrelated String

i vtc'd as needs details or clarity because it looks like it probably will be a solid challenge once the kinks are ironed out

it's just not there yet

DialFrost

05:10

oh okey thx for the comment:)

u have any suggestions how do change it

i've fixed all the problems except this

The challenge appears to just be replace immediate pairs of brackets with 1, then add some (unspecified?) separators.

how shld i change this

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

Since "nit" is a unit of brightness used for screens, I petition for us to name "finding a good screen brightness setting"...wait for it..."nitpicking"

Unrelated String

@DialFrost specify the separation behavior, maybe add some leeway on what the filler value is

guess it depends on what you feel the soul of the challenge is

DialFrost

seperation bevhaviour wdym

Unrelated String

i guess more generally specify the challenge
it's fairly easy to tell what you're supposed to do from the test cases but it's not actually explained anywhere

especially since it doesn't really match the description of a depth list

or it sort of does but not the way someone might expect

DialFrost

oh

fixed

hopefully its clearer now

@UnrelatedString later can i post my cubax folding challenge?

js want ur opinion thx

emanresu A

05:25

It's recommended to leave stuff sandbxoed for a few days

Unrelated String

^^^^^

18 hours is
really
not enough

for some starting feedback i'd recommend explicitly loosening the i/o up

DialFrost

okey

ill try

er can u give exmaple wat i shld change

shld i remove the sorting part?

otherwise i alr allowed input+output as list/arrays or string reprsentation

removing the sorting part of the challenge is the only way i can think of loosening the i/o

Unrelated String

specifically the thing about lines of input
allowing alternate representations of the output directions would probably also be warranted

DialFrost

warranted? wdym

Unrelated String

er
appropriate
rather

DialFrost

05:35

wat does alternate respresentation mean

Unrelated String

like digits, lowercase letters, different letters, larger integers, etc.
also feel free not to

it's just something that comes to mind since i still haven't actually quite wrapped my mind around the challenge itself

DialFrost

oh

i'd prefer not to but thx anyways!

i might allow the useage of diffferent char for all the diff dirs

Unrelated String

i think i mostly understand what's being asked for but it does seem pretty nontrivial to actually implement the logic
that or it might be fairly easy to brute force

DialFrost

fairly easy???

Unrelated String

not really sure yet

DialFrost

05:39

wow

shldi allow the usage of 6 different chars of their choice if they want for the dirs?

bruh my qns got closed even though i fixed it

DialFrost

anyone here can help golf my solution? thx

js ping me if u want to help

Q: Adding '[]' character to the before and after number chars

I need to convert some strings like; (201) 555-0123 312 345 6789 To this ([201]) [555]-[0123] [312] [345] [6789] so basically i have to add [ ] this characters to the before and after number groups in any string how can i do that ? any proggraming language it will help

python java c# swift kotlin

Q: Decompress a ragged list

Your input is a ragged list of possibly empty lists of non-negative integers. For example, [[2,0],[[]],[[[],[1],[]],[]]] is a valid input. This input is a "compressed" ragged list. What this means is that when we have a list of numbers, we interpret those as a list of indices, indexing the output...
