@Seggan As in, your program's placed somewhere on a grid and has to terminate all the other programs to win, without any info about anything else

Including where they are

@emanresuA I am very confused. If I'm understanding correctly, in the Halfwit source code, you've defined your range functions, then when you go to assign it to a token, you define another range function but one that returns array of empty slots.

BTW, now that the RTO server's arriving soon, I've got an R610 I don't really need, which is worth basically scrap metal but still pretty good for web hosting and that sort of thing. If anyone in the US wants it it's free (though shipping would be up to $100 depending on where you are).

Honestly not really sure what to do with it. I've moved or am moving my website and bots like NP/SP to a DO droplet, and anything else I use the server for will be moved to the RTO server.

wait bruh what how do yall reach that many ppl

ive been posting since like 2 years ago and im at a measly 60k

emanresu A

Challenges and/or high-scoring answers, I think

*just answers

Ah... @tybocopperkettle's first answer was to Hello, World, which has tons of views, 0.3 of a pxeger's was to the python tips which also has tons.

And this is why it's an inaccurate measurement

pxeger

@AidenChow I've "reached 849k"

so how my bot has 14% the reach I have with less than 1% the posts, I don't really know

emanresu A

09:12

Presumably because its one answer to python tips counted the same as your several, higher voted answers to the same question.

the error rate is about 2.78%

IIRC, I made the 0.3 of a pxeger icon by taking a screenshot of my normal pfp and putting a white rectangle over "a bit of it"

so if it was even close to 30%, that's pretty lucky

Zion mycelia adamancy

@emanresuA Because of the overwhelming majority that code-golf has, the dupe hammer for the tag at this point is less rep/upvote based, and more, sheer number of answers based, which is, IMO, the best way to award dupe hammers

For example, on SO, solely because of this answer, someone can pick any tag that bobince has 200 or more answers on, edit in that tag, and bobince gets an instant gold tag badge

emanresu A

12:00

Upvotes should be a factor tho

If I post autogenerated answers to every existing kolmogorov-complexity, should I gett any credit for that?

Zion mycelia adamancy

Yeah, but it's much better when its "upvotes as a natural response to a lot of answers" rather than "one super high scoring answer, and a lot of 0,1,2 score answers"

SO has an issue with the latter, we almost always get tag badges here due to the former

Well if Kotlin had compiletime reflection you wouldn't need to use Java reflection, but it doesn't have any metaprogramming capabilities yet :(

sometimes you need to use reflection to access runtime resources

Well you don't need any special Kotlin stuff for that anyway right?

It's just a call to your classloader's loadClass method or something

you cant use the spread operator in method handle invocations either

JS's Proxy is soooo cool. I just made this:

class ProxyArray extends Array {
    constructor() {
        var proxy = new Proxy(new Array(...arguments), {
            get(array, prop) {
                if (prop.match(/-?(0|[1-9]\d*)/)) {
                    var indx = BigInt(prop);

                    if (indx < 0)
                        indx += BigInt(array.length);

                    return array[indx];
                }

                return array[prop];
            },
            set(array, prop, to) {
                if (prop.match(/-?(0|[1-9]\d*)/)) {

It acts exactly like a typical Array, but -1 gives you the last item

(and the rest of negative integers work too of course)

It even JSON.stringifies properly :o

Pairing it with Object.defineProperty(Array.prototype, "_", { get(prop) { return ProxyArray.from(this); } }); makes it more convenient, just add ._ after any literal to make it into a ProxyArray
