Q: How would I solve this problem in c++?

There are A different types of textbooks for students at a school, but there is only one of each textbook. Each of B students has 2 favorite classes which they want textbooks for. The students pick textbooks in a line and for a given textbook, if the textbook for the favorite class is available t...

I found this one the other day:

An engineer, a physicist and a mathematician are discussing how to visualise concepts in higher dimensions. The engineer, thoroughly confused, gives up, and says, "Honestly, I have no idea how you do it, it's just so confusing". The physicist responds, "Ah, it's easy, you see. Just picture everything in 3d, and then add in time". The mathematician scoffs at this, and replies, "My method is even easier. Just visualise R^n, and let n = 4"

Programmers: just visualize a nested list 4 levels deep

@RydwolfPrograms How's that |: esolang going?

@TheThonnu is on a roll!

And there are a helluva lot more.

The Thonnu

18:46

Haha, yep

I just went for some easy challenges with Thunno 2

Might do some more now

1 hour later…

Hello, World!

19:53

A: "Hello, World!"

TalkingHead, 11 seconds The first sound based programming language!!! Sound File

Rydwolf Programs

@AviFS Which would that be again?

Ginger

@Hello,World! ...it's not the first though

I feel like there was one that used music notes?

Unrelated String

yeah i know there's at least one

Rydwolf Programs

There's a ton

IIRC there's a tag for it on esolangs

Unrelated String

and i distinctly remember it having a website that directly demonstrates actual sound file input

ooh

Ginger

19:58

and lemme guess: no interpreter

Rydwolf Programs

Aren't no-interpreter languages banned (for the most part) here?

Ginger

sure isn't one linked from that answer

@RydwolfPrograms yup (IIRC)

the quality of this user's answers are pretty uniformly dubious

AviFS

@RydwolfPrograms How many are you working on, hahaha

The one with the question about balancing | brackets with colons to disambiguate.

Rydwolf Programs

Well not that many, but the only esolang I can think of where |: is part of the syntax is IIRC not public :p

Ohhhhh wait that one

Completely forgot about it

AviFS

@RydwolfPrograms Whattttt, how, lololol

Rydwolf Programs

20:02

Was mostly just working on it to distract myself for a few hours before school finally ended lol

AviFS

We discussed it for like 35 minutes

LOLOL

Unrelated String

wasn't that like two days ago

amazing

AviFS

... yup

maybe three

Rydwolf Programs

@UnrelatedString A lot has happened in those two days :p

AviFS

You never even said what you thought of the stacking colons idea!

@RydwolfPrograms Uh oh, in a non-negative way, I hope?

May 22 at 19:27, by Rydwolf Programs

Okay I need help proving something relating to an esolang I'm working on

Rydwolf Programs

I also just spent 6 hours at work so my brain is mush :p

Unrelated String

...no fucking way it's been almost a week

AviFS

@UnrelatedString damn

Rydwolf Programs

@AviFS Correct. School's finally over :p

AviFS

It does feel pretty recent

@RydwolfPrograms Oh, wahoooooo!!

Rydwolf Programs

20:04

Honestly yeah the 22nd was like yesterday

There was some other thing I did on the 22nd that also felt like yesterday yesterday

Oh right the concert tickets

Okay TIL I've had chat at 110% zoom for ages by mistake and now it looks so weird at the proper zoom level

Good weird

Ginger

relatable

Recently I discovered that Windows had automatically set my laptop's UI zoom to like 150% and it looked so weird with it at 100% I decided not to change it

Rydwolf Programs

I'd love to have the privilege of using something other than 100% zoom in Windows

Ginger

also, I was wrong: they did in fact link an interpreter

Rydwolf Programs

But if I don't, it messes stuff up for browser game dev when I'm trying to get things pixel-accurate

So I've just had to get used to 4k 100% zoom lol

Ginger

so it's a valid submission, I was just a little trigger-happy

AviFS

20:09

@RydwolfPrograms Oh wait, I just checked and I've had mine at 125% zoom!
