@RydwolfPrograms :)
So uh... I've been working on something for the last month
ಠ_ಠ
what am I doing with my life
(also the repo isn't public)
Whoops, fixed

@RydwolfPrograms Today's generation grows up so fast 🥹
Also,
Welcome to your final test
12:32 AM
Just made an edit to my sandbox challenge, expanding on the I/O format:

https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/a/26456/123885

Thoughts? I decided to keep the input format extremely flexible, with a note to discourage bigger instances of abusing the format.

Still not 100% sure this is a good idea, but the standard loophole on dictinct, fixed inputs (https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/a/14110) still has a gray area anyway. I looked at having a more strict input format, and I'm not entirely convinced it actually makes the solutions more interesting.

@emanresuA slightly related, I added a Acc!! backend to elvm a while back which generates extremely inefficient code and can't run anything but the most simple of programs in a reasonable amount of time
I think your bytearray optimization could probably be used here to make it actually be able to execute more complex programs
4:04 AM
Neat! The way my optimisation works is simply not replacing readWord/similar macros and letting python calls use them instead, but it wouldn't be too hard to write an optimising interpreter that recognises the relevant expressions
One catch: It'd have to be able to recognise every used expression, because otherwise handling _ would require converting a massive array to an int and back

Is there info about this binary code?

anyone know when the term bijective base was invented? I noticed that A052382 was added in 2000 but it wasn't until 2020 before someone pointed out that it's simply the numbers in bijective base 9
10:06 PM
Wikipedia seems to have the concept itself going as far back as 1961, but introduced as "n-adic representation"
Hah, one of the first uses was in a paper about Brainfuck's big brother P''
10:24 PM
@emanresuA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or specifically, the paper that invented P'', which I'm having a really surprisingly hard time finding online to look at to see if it said "bijective base" :P
@emanresuA WHA
lol
Apparently I've never visited the meta suggested edits queue before
10:49 PM
It forgets some times
So I might be doing a bit of a silly
I was meeting with one of my old teachers and the two others students who were in her class (it was a small program), and idk how we got to this topic, but we started brainstorming dark lore for my high school
Like, serial killers and secret passageways and stuff
So I made an instagram account, and strategically followed some current students and organizations
And I'm posting creepypasta-style messages from the perspective of a journalism student, to grayscale or nighttime pictures of my former high school
Once school's back in session, I'm going to try to get it to spread around a bit :p
(Of course, I'll be on the other side of the country for college, so I've got a stockpile of pictures of the outside of the school I got the other night, and I'll have people on the inside to get ones of the school's interior)
11:05 PM
The lore is real
About to try to get in contact with the architecture firm that designed the high school so I can get detailed blueprints for the project lol
I'm guessing it's not very likely they'd send the blueprint to some random guy, but I can try lol
(as far as I know) it's a state school i.e. government-owned building, those blueprints should be publically available unless texas is weird?
Probably, but I'm not sure where I'd get them from the government
They probably just have them stored somewhere
I could go to my city's building permits office maybe
But if I could just get a file directly from the architects that would make things pretty easy. In fact, they have a full 3D CAD version of the school which they showed us before they built it, if I could get that it would be even better (but that's probably far less likely to be shared publicly)
11:14 PM
You could say it's "for a school project"
dammit today's saturday, gonna have to wait two days before I can call them
@emanresuA That's my plan yeah :p
(just not necessarily one the school would approve of :P)
"I'm working on a digital art project"
"It's about showing past, present and future versions of the school"
(for a very specific value of "future")
@RydwolfPrograms oooooh
I endorse this :3
11:21 PM
@RydwolfPrograms "Giving back to the community in celebration"
Well, I've found a bunch of deeds dating back to the 1950s giving property to the school district, which is pretty fascinating
Currently trying to figure out when construction actually began. Turns out the school wasn't named until years after it was planned to be constructed, which makes sense, and explains why it's been hard hunting for information
@emanresuA Bounty started. I'm giving you 1200, the first 200 of which is on its way now.
Thanks :)
11:33 PM
Well, I did manage to find some very preliminary schematics
Oooooh, if there are any notable discrepancies between that and what got actually built, that could be some good pasta sauce
Looks pretty similar at first glance
Ooh but there's an even earlier one:
> The design released this week closely resembles the facility planning committee’s conceptual diagram created in September 2012. The redesign cost the district $37,500 after Pfluger Associates waived its $25,000 fee for the second design.
Well, there's probably still some interesting actual history you can run with mythologizing
OOOOOOOOOO
11:36 PM
Doesn't seem to be online though :/

Q: Tiny Lisp, tiny interpreter

DLoscLisp programmers boast that Lisp is a powerful language which can be built up from a very small set of primitive operations. Let's put that idea into practice by golfing an interpreter for a dialect called tinylisp. Language specification In this specification, any condition whose result is descr...

"almost all integers contain any given substring of digits" that's infinity for you I guess
