The issue with nil is that any field in a struct can just be nil. So if you don't initialize a field in a struct or if you read from something that's missing a field you have a nil.
@mousetail true. though it's very good at swearing at you when it sees you're putting a string in where it wants bytes, etc. right in your face with highlighting xD
I might be misunderstanding things but aren't the multiplication/division variant of minsky machines turing complete with 1 integer? would that make integers a turing-complete data type?
Assume each program must declare a finite number of variables. This is true in most programing languages. Each variable has a type. For which types would this language be turing complete?
Any data type that only has a finite number of possible values would obviously not be TC since a TC can theoretically output infinitely big values
(aside: speaking of starry, this challenge is crazy and has some great answers, i wonder if we could do anything like this again)
'actually no im gonna talk abt it
obviously u wouldnt wanna just do the same challenge but with a different image / size restriction (... i think) but like, i wonder if there are any meaningful / interesting iterations to be done on it :-)

@thejonymyster here it is: lambda a,b:list(takewhile(lambda w:len(a()[1])>int(b),iter(a:=partial(lambda a:(1,"".join(map(str,[reduce(mul,map(int,u))for u in map(list,map(''.join,zip(*[iter([a+"1"*n for n in range(int(b))if not len(a+"1"*n)%int(b)][0])]*3)))]))),a),0)))
When we define a function that needs an import, we have to add it to the byte count. So far, so good. What about cases where the definition itself doesn't need the import, but when you want to call/execute the function you need it, for example to construct parameters?
Examples can be found here ...
@thejonymyster Probably, but not easily. There are a ton of cards and it would be hard to remember what each one does
Also playing with playing cards would make the game feel "serous" and you'll suddenly realize how unbalanced it is. The colorful cards distract you from the game play which is a good thing.
@mathcat My friend asked for an amazon gift card as a birthday present, but I'll make him have to go through numerous rickrolls first to get the money.
there was a comment criticizing fig's scoring system on one of steffans answers, and i replied with an explanation, but in doing that, i impersonated steffan :P
Oh for the rickroll xor thing, yeah. You'd xor the video stream with the data you're sending them. That forces them to xor what you give them with the video stream again to recover the original data
E.g., if twenty people each have twenty files of the same size, but any one person is missing exactly one of the twenty files, you can publish one file the same size as any of the twenty which allows all of them to recover the one they're missing
Since the XOR of all twenty files, xor'd by any combination of 19 of the files, will give you the 20th
