Q: Make Hello World, but the most bytes!

Make the longest program that prints hello world! Rules: No for loops going on for over 1000 iterations. You must have a variable out that you print.

If I had a nickel for every time someone has posted a longest hello world, I'd have two nickels

Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice

@Ginger knocked down a couple of casinos for $30 million so we're getting new servers

Gonna have to move to Ecuador tho

(Nah I was just at When We Were Young Fest seeing like 12 emo bands lol)

I just had a brilliant idea on how to beat casinos at their own game

Surprisingly Pierce The Veil was by far the best show. My Chem just seemed...tired. And the crowd was awful

I've been sleeping on PTV, I had no idea I know every song from Collide With the Sky

And all the featured artists in the songs were there so they were able to perform them together

Ginger

@rydwolf I'd believe it tbh

sooner the better :p

I would like to put an end to this multi-month saga of dead servers and Cloudflare fuckery

Q: Check subtype relation in a simple type system

Let's consider the following simple type system (taken from Benjamin C. Pierce's Types and Programming Languages): There is a base type \$\mathbf{Top}\$. For any two types \$S\$ and \$T\$, we can form the product type \$S \times T\$. You can think of this as a tuple of two values, one of type \$...

Okay so while I was in Las Vegas I was with a friend of mine and one thing that was very entertaining is that she was on a lot of dating apps, and she'd get likes from very interesting people who we would then discuss

So I ended up getting some of the apps 'cause why not

I told myself I wouldn't but it's just for the bit. trust.

Good luck, if you are straight man the algorithm will very rarely even show your profile to anyone

Wouldn't that be better for the bit to not get matches

@rydwolf Wow

mousetail

Only swipe left: No matches

How much did the plane tickets cost?? Was this planned way ahead of time or do you know some way richer emos at CMU now

Or was this like a multi day road trip type beat

Actually wait didn't I look this up and find out last minute plane tickets are usually under $1000

Instead of in the $2000 ballpark like I assumed

...how have I still not gone to sleep what the hell

@UnrelatedString depressed sugar parents

Not a concept I thought would be a concept today

Yet here we are

after like half an hour of trying to explain why Noah's Ark doesn't seem like it was actually meant to have floated before noticing the one sentence that explicitly says it floated

and probably a whole hour of having a painfully full bladder

Time to leave my chair before I Tycho Brahe myself

@UnrelatedString switching my return ticket from Pittsburgh to Las Vegas added $150, and the LAS->PIT one was $400 or so

Financially unwise and ultimately probably not worth it, but I foresee some major domino effects lol

@mousetail I thought the deal was you still get shown to lots of women they just are far less likely to swipe right on people than men are?

mousetail

You'll be shown lots of woman but they won't be shown you

Unless your account is new or has been inactive for a few months

Then they try to hook you again by actually showing your profile to people

Or you pay of course

I could use a letter that represents a function type instead of => or some such

Q: Building Skyscrapers

You work as an architect, and you've been assigned the task of reviewing your coworker's skyscraper design. In your line of work, a skyscraper is just a tower of blocks. Nothing more, nothing less. This means your job is really simple! You can describe a skyscraper with a mere string of digits, s...

Array?, 16 bytes [Hello\, world!] Try it online

I really do unironically hope that some of the languages posted to the Hello World question lately are developed further

mousetail

12:06

Nothing better than new langs

Hello world doesn't really show much about the specifics of the lang though, I wish the new langs would have more examples

Is "Array?" even Turing complete?

Q: ZigZag encoding and decoding

ZigZag encoding is a method of encoding signed integers to unsigned integers. Positive integers are multiplied by two. Negative integers are equal to their absolute values multiplied by two, minus one. Decoding is the inverse process. There are, of course, other ways to achieve the same results. ...

what was the rule about languages made after a challenge? or am i getting that mixed up with something else?

mousetail

That rule no longer applies

mousetail

3 separate answers to this question currently score exactly 43 strokes

let's see if i can change that

@mousetail And they all have the letter 'a' in the language name exactly once

@RubenVerg It doesn't apply to the Hello World challenge

they explicitly stated that

mousetail

@TheEmptyStringPhotographer It doesn't apply to any challenge

indeed i can

Told my friend I was going to ship a package to them but instead of their address I'd choose a random point on earth's surface and I ended up getting a point 10 miles off the coast of a small Japanese island so I guess they better learn to swim

mousetail

Hiring a boat is probably easier

It might depend on if the package floats or sinks and if it's anchored or free floating

Neil

21:02

this is so weird; this browser still thinks that cgse is in read-only mode

rydwolf

@mousetail it would be anchored and wrapped in bubble wrap to float

mousetail

In that case, my personal recommendation would be some kind of boat

crap, I forgot that logging in needed me to copy something into the clipboard deleting my draft
