@Ginger I don't know Lua, but if any BASIC knowledge (well, QBasic) would be a helpful contribution, I have some of that.

Q: Is it true? Ask Pip!

DLoscTitle is an homage to this classic challenge In Pip, the Scalar data type encompasses strings and numbers. A Scalar value is truthy in most cases. It is falsey only if: It is the empty string ""; or It is some representation of the number zero. A Scalar is considered to be a representation of z...

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

mathcatNo, thanks! In the game “No Thanks!” playing cards numbered 3 to 35 are shuffled in a deck and 11 chips distributed to each player. The first player flips over a card and can then decide either to take the card, or to place a chip on top of it and to pass it on. The card continues to be passed ar...

Bounty added!
tasty
@lyxal yes :)
very.
Unless you hate coconut
aaah rep I need rep

A: List of bounties with no deadline

AdámDisclaimer: This bounty was posted by a person whose job is to promote APL. 50 – 500 rep for an APL answer I will reward 50 rep if all of the following conditions are met: The answer is in Dyalog APL Classic/Unicode/Extended/Prime, APL2, APL+, APLSE, GNU/APL, Sharp APL, sAPL, SAX, NARS, APLX, A+...

lol thx that was a joke btw
I did try the bounty some time ago, I don't really know what went wrong
@mathcat I hear the rep goblin is handing out rep, but you have to promise it your firstborn or something
take it idc i need rep
@Simd very late, but both of them still take too much bytes
@cairdcoinheringaahing I think giving it bottled screams of all the code golfers that have tried to escape the grips of code golf instead of embracing it is a suitable alternative here
12:17
@lyxal sorry, but the bottled screams to firstborn child exchange rate is ridiculous these days
try me

Q: Implement the Riemann R function

SimdThe Riemann R function is as follows: $$R (x)=\sum _{n=1}^{\infty } \frac{\mu (n) \text{li}\left(x^{1/n}\right)}{n}.$$ This uses the Möbius function as well as the logarithmic integral. From the wikipedia, the Möbius function is defined so that for any positive integer \$n\$, \$μ(n)\$ is the sum...

@lyxal you might be able to get a special deal, apparently it's a big fan of nuked fridges
you underestimate my collection of bottles.
@lyxal what kind of bottles? Beer?

@lyxal uh who are you giving it to?
12 mins ago, by caird coinheringaahing
@mathcat I hear the rep goblin is handing out rep, but you have to promise it your firstborn or something
And does it include mathcat?
perhaps
mainly because you trolled them
Besides... I just realized today marks the first year since strfilter was released on pypi
happy birthday strfilter
although there's a lot I'd improve
12:32
@UndoneStudios code golfer screams are strictly non-alcoholic
Tho, they do taste a bit like mixing lemon, whisky and tar
I'm not old enough to drink alcohol anyway
and besides, I would never
@UndoneStudios sorry, both of which?
the solutions using quadmath and the double
stringifying is easy
unless the number is needed for something else
preferably not nefarious
@UndoneStudios The double solution being the one mousetail showed had failed
13:20
@UndoneStudios aha.
At least my one works :)

Feb 11 at 12:24, by Ginger Industries
there is no escape, only golf
bruh I have 5995 site-wide rep
@DLosc perhaps
14:35
@Ginger Still haven't escaped nearly a year later?
@mousetail no, because:

CGCC is an addictive drug actually
I can stop any time I want
14 years later: *dies of golf cancer*
They say sitting is the new smoking
14:57
@Seggan Hi!
 
1 hour later…
16:00
@mousetail who says that?!
@Simd gimme a few hours
i just woke up
@NewPosts I have no idea what to flag this as
spam
but vtc or flag?
i did both
16:12
bruh lol
I missed a flag :/
for some reason i thought it was mse and flagged it first, them im like wait this is cgcc and vtc'd it
@Simd Everyone
It's a very common saying
more people die because of sitting nowadays than because of smoking
16:32
@Seggan of course
16:43
it's just spam lol. for future reference a post that does nothing but unsolicitedly promote a product or service is spam and should be flagged as such
you may VTC it, that's fine, just don't VTD it, because then the post won't get processed by SE's spam system
also see this answer regarding charcoal/smokey (a third-party spam tool running on SE)

Q: Friend, or Foe?

AlephSquirrelTask Provide two programs/functions A and B (not necessarily in the same language) with the following properties: Either program, when given its own source code as input, produces an accepting output. Either program, when given the other program's source code as input, produces a rejecting outpu...

17:00
@hyper-neutrino ah okay
17:14
heya!
@Simd yes, but it severely violates the code-golf ethic
17:32
which is?
Taiji is really good btw
What's taiji?
Another font?
17:53
@Simd Not quite, though they are very similar languages.

Q: Finding gradient

Ejlal SumbalWhat will be the gradient of one vertical line and one horizontal but both are perpendicular to each other? Like i know that the product of the gradient perpendicular lines is -1.I also don't know the reason for this,however;I want to know the gradient of perpendicular lines that one is horizonta...

18:10
@NewPosts Was about to post a comment directing the OP to Math.SE specifically, but they deleted the question.
Kinda confusing that we have both math.stackexchange.com and mathoverflow.net. I guess it's sort of like the difference between ELL.SE and English.SE.

Q: Finding gradient

Ejlal Sumbalwhat will be the gradient of one vertical line and one horizontal but both are perpendicular to each other? I know the product of there gradient is -1 but that is for like slanting lines what if its straight because horizontal lines have zero gradient and vertial have infinity but will be there p...

...and it's back
Why would they repost it?

Does anybody know how to find your windows product key once you've bought one
I can't find it, the order history just says "completed" :|
And I didn't get a receipt emailed
Settings > System > About has something called "Product ID"; is that it?
Looks like Radvylf just bought a key but doesn't have an actual computer with Windows on it
Isn't it possible to pirate it?
oh you mean that. then idk
@user Yeah, but it's restricted in various ways, and I prefer doing things the legit way
Doing things the legit way is so overrated
All my homies pirate Windows
@RadvylfPrograms I assume you've done this already but do they have the right email? Is it in your spam folder?
19:29
Okay it just arrived
How is it that spam arrives with perfect accuracy but it takes half an hour for a $200 product key to get emailed :|
wdym spam arrives with perfect accuracy?
Well fair enough I guess most of the time I wouldn't know if it failed to arrive. But sometimes like, it's on a schedule so you can predict when you'll get it
Huh, I've never kept track of when I get my spam
I just report as spam and never get it again
Unless you mean marketing stuff from sites you actually signed up to
Well, I don't report stuff as spam, since most of it's from colleges and I don't want to mess up my data collection
I'm at 400 already this year :p
Oh that sucks
19:34
Oh no I need to pick a hostname
Give it some obscure Greek god's name but with a typo in it
How about "cisco-modem-living-room" to cause maximum confusion :p
What's confusing about that?
The fact that it's a PC that's also not in my living room :p
Oh lol
19:37
Wish ASUS's branding wasn't so cringe. Giant low-res "REPUBLIC OF GAMERS" splash screen every time it boots is kiiinda ugly

Q: Don't output the file 2

l4m2Last time you were required to write program that output a file, such that no byte is same as original file. The request meant to let everyone carry part of information, but it ends up that everyone carry same info to reduce their storage... Write at most 1024 programs that output at least 8524 b...

@Simd im at 640 million and theres a lot
20:25
@Seggan is that the final count?
nope, just finished
that was how high i was checking
the final count is...
57,642,576
at first it was all primes (which i filtered with a prime list), then composites started showing up
example composite: 1072325809
why do you need the count?
20:41
What did I guess?
@Seggan I am interested in how to guess this number
I know no number theory but it's me dipping my toe in
I need to find my guess
@DLosc shame
Ok my guess was 57676950
57,676,950
Not bad!
@Seggan how long did your code take to run?
@Simd about 10 minutes
that was with pregenerated prime lists
20:56
@Seggan where did you get the lists from?
Thank you so much for doing this
Nice
I am surprised rust doesn't have a fast way to make a list of primes
Would you mind sharing your code?
Thanks! Why is it 2<< 13 and not 14?
21:13
Because 2<<13 is 1<<14
@Simd There are crates for it: docs.rs/primes/latest/primes/fn.factors.html
@Seggan Would it help to also use those pregenerated primes for the has_factors_below function?
@user thanks! I didn't realise
@user that looks cool!
I really don't know rust so I am learning by reading the code
@user maybe
@Ginger ∀x∈N(2x∈0)
21:30
@Ginger Does that mean printing can happen in any order?
 
1 hour later…
22:57
@user do you know enough rust to do it?
No
I am currently fixing someone else's Rust code and am about ready to jump out the window
23:51
Why does everybody know Rust?!!!
seems like everyone has been left out in the weather for a while
@lyxal XD
and that everyone is also consequently made of metal
and also that they all live on a crab-infested beach
strange, I know, but it is what it is
Well, beaches have a lot of water and often have crabs, so it's not too much of a surprise
And we do eat very small amounts of various metals
@user that part isn't strange, it's an obvious conclusion of beaches. It's the fact that everyone lives on the same beach
23:53
Oh, it's no coincidence. We were all placed there...
although having said that, I've never seen crabs on a beach before, so you could very well be making that up :p
Really? Not even the itty bitty ones?
maybe a few of those, but generally speaking, I'm in a part of the world where crabsn't
I feel like australian weather and east-coast shorelines aren't the best place for crabs :p
Ah, you have much scarier creatures
yeah, like octopus that can kill you and these things that look like rocks and can kill you
23:56
*octopoids
Or is it octopoda?
Or octopi?
whatever it is, the important part is that they have lots of blue rings on them
@lyxal no?
how
We might have tiny crabs in shells, but none of those normal size crabs that people typically think of when you think of crabs
@user iirc octopuses or octopodes
