@emanresuA it's like that time he DM'd me on discord about some secret plan thing, saying he'd explain more the next day. It has been 4 months since the next day :p

Ginger

oh yeah that

he never did elaborate did he

lyxal

Nope

"I'll reveal the plan in the morning" been roughly 120 mornings since

Ginger

most rydwolf thing he could've done tbqh

lyxal

True

att

01:01

didn't specify which morning

Unrelated String

on The Morning which shall come to pass

CMC: Given a list of integers, return a list of 2 integers ([x, y]) where: 1) ((20 + 2x + 2y + 2) ÷ 2) ^ 2 >= 600, 2) there are 2 or more instances of both x and y in the input and 3) the integers are the smallest possible pair

So for [13, 4, 13, 8, 7, 5, 8], [13, 8] or [8, 13] are valid outputs

Input can be sorted if you want, and you can output [x, y] or [y, x]

It's always guaranteed that there'll be a suitable 2 pair

emanresu A

isn't that just always the largest two

lyxal

I'll edit it to be smallest such pair

Which fits better with the inspiration

(the context being "find the smallest 2 pair that can clear the ante 1 small blind on plasma deck in Balatro")

Unrelated String

Ah, so that's where the 600 came from when it otherwise seemed like it was all about having a ton of 2s

are x and y always distinct

lyxal

The chips and mult are balanced before multiplying

@UnrelatedString yes

That's the point of a 2 pair :p

Unrelated String

👍

(to the despair of many, 4oak is not considered containing 2 pairs)

I was going to post œ-QŒcS>¥Ƈ13Ṃ for 10 in Jelly like 15 minutes ago but then I just forgot to actually test it on something where the "at least 2" constraint doesn't already narrow it down completely

CMQ In python I have a variable x. I want to print("steps") if it is > 0 and print("step") otherwise. What is the most golfey way to do that?

mousetail 'he-him'

"steps"[:4+(s>1)]

Simd

oh that is so much better than mine! I had an f-string with an if condition

@mousetail'he-him' ah, it should be steps if s is 0 too

0 steps

1 step

2 steps

mousetail 'he-him'

Then use s!=1

Simd

done, thank you

Have people played the RIse of the Golden Idol? Great game

rydwolf

19:57

No progress on fixing my sleep schedule lol

Right when I was making progress a freindsgiving happened

(my second time drinking, the effects were way more noticeable this time lol)

I wonder if I just had less than I thought my first time or if it was just because I drank it way slower

I also apparently get very red when I drink, which I guess is unsurprising given how pale I am lol

Actually I probably do still have a slight tan from my old job outside

Ginger

unless you've experienced some pretty severe time dilation...

rydwolf

Three more years of CMU should have me appropriately vampiric

@Ginger that's what it feels like lol

There was a solid period of my life where every week felt like a month

And idk if it's stopped

Ginger

or, well, unless we've experienced time dilation

rydwolf

Like I'll think about something that happened a few days ago and be solidly sure it was two weeks ago

actually yeah that is firmly still the case

I'm gonna die at like 50 at this rate

Anyway time to go write smut for six hours because nobody else in readme is brave enough

Ginger

look, unless I'm severely misremembering things I would maybe not confess to underage drinking on a public-by-design website that can be trivially linked to your actual identity :p

rydwolf

20:02

Nobody gives a fuck about underage drinking tbf

Ginger

@rydwolf ...what

rydwolf

You heard me.

Ginger

I'd ask you to elaborate but maybe that should happen in DMs

rydwolf

We have a building that's named after two (long dead) computer scientists and somebody suggested in pitch meeting that we write gay smut of them but the pitch has been assigned to like three different people who've volunteered and nobody actually goes through with it

Ginger

I. see

rydwolf

20:05

Even though it would be totally unpublishable I think it would be very funny to write it then drop it in the discord with no context

Unboundle has kind of taken off in the KGB tho which is cool

We've got like half a dozen regular players

Ginger

kamala harris is two degrees of separation from rydwolf "I write gay smut because nobody else has the balls to do it" programs

rydwolf

and with your support, it can be one degree

Ginger

I don't think there's anything I can offer you that you couldn't get yourself :p

rydwolf

Also I was very disappointed to realize the other day while making that SBCS that I no longer have all of ASCII memorized

I messed up the 20s

And don't even try to quiz me on the control codes :/

Actuallty lemme try

Ginger

they should invent Wordle for Unicode characters

you get X chances to guess the block that a given character is in, maybe

1b / ^[ - Escape

Let's see how I did

Oh I fucked it up bad

Oof I forgot about ENQ, SO/SI, tab being \x09, DLE coming before DC1, NAK being way the fuck separate from ACK, ETB even being a thing, same with EM and SUB, and I got the separators way out of order

Honestly not the worst I could've done tho

Unrelated String

Everything in the last 2 or 3 months feels about 4 times as long ago as it really was, everything in the last year before that feels like it was all about a year ago, everything between 1 and 3 years ago feels like it was like a year and a half ago, everything between 3 and 6 years ago feels like 10 years ago, everything between 6 and 10 years ago feels like 20 years ago, everything from more than 10 years ago feels like I absorbed those memories from someone who died like 50 years ago

Ginger

it's still March of 2020

rydwolf

the crash was 20 years ago

(one of the readme writers has joke "have you heard the joke about the gaslighter", which goes how you'd predict it would, but they didn't anticipate us all turning it against them, which we did last night while they were drunk and it got very out of hand lol)

Unrelated String

ahahahahahahahaha

niiiiice

rydwolf

20:20

I wonder what machines actually used the obscure ASCII control codes

Like is there anything out there that actually used ENQ/ACK/NAK?

Or what about SO/SI

Unrelated String

@rydwolf it could TOTALLY turn into something that real published articles end up obliquely referencing as an injoke

rydwolf

We try to avoid inside jokes in the published articles though

Unrelated String

mmm

~~sad~~

rydwolf

Except one time we just straight up published a full size picture of me holding a piece of cardboard that said "DOG BREEDING LICENSE" in giant arial

(which we used to mess with admissions tours)

emanresu A

amazing

Unrelated String

20:24

pfffffff

Ginger

@rydwolf jsyk the search icon on the readme website doesn't do anything on mobile

rydwolf

We're doing a redesign over winter break o7

Update: It doesn't do anything on desktop either

Ginger

amazing.

rydwolf

This is twice as funny now that I've been detained in that exact location because I was spotted breaking the law by those same cameras

emanresu A

amazing

Unrelated String

20:35

ahahahahahahahahahaa

rydwolf

Oh also whenever I update the website I need to remember to change my pronouns lol

I think conservation of gender is a thing because as soon as I switched from he/him -> he/they a friend of mine went from they/them to he/they lmao

At least I think they did, their stories are fairly unhinged at times so it's hard to tell when they're serious

Ginger

so which one of us became Guy Premium after like three people here came out as transfem

~~probably user~~

rydwolf

user's chin has gotten 4× more square and he now can pick up a car

Unrelated String

user's on levels of man previously thought impossible

emanresu A

heterosexuality beyond belief

Ginger

20:39

@rydwolf I interpreted "car" as a misspelling of "cat" and thought "so can I, he's not special"

emanresu A

you can pick yourself up? Impressive

rydwolf

That's called flying which there is precedent for ginger doing

anyway I'm going to chipotle anybody want anything

Ginger

a bagel

rydwolf

You'll have to do the calculations, just lmk what angle and initial velocity to set my bagel howitzer to

Assume air resistance is negligible, my newest project is about to make that irrelevant

also it's so cold in this house

It's -2 outside and probably like 10 in here (°C)

Welcome to TNB!

Ginger

21:08

well then

CMC Given a list, deal it over N hands unevenly. The biggest hand must have around twice as many items as the smallest hand. Number of hands is >= 2, size of the list is >=3

You may assume size of the list is at least 1.5 times the number of hands

Unrelated String

ooooh, interesting

Seggan

@rydwolf teletypewriters?

Unrelated String

...I had a massively overthought concept that was based on geometric means until I realized that the way that could actually be made to work is applicable to some much simpler things too :P

and would still be a pain in the ass maybe

Unrelated String

22:10

Feels like there's a mathier way to do it that's more elegant but my second seemingly-working solution is Jelly, 10 bytes: ‘s@Zk@Ṗ{Ẏ€

basically just "deal as evenly as possible into N+1 hands, then merge two of the smallest hands"

Largest hand should always be either exactly twice the smallest hand or... two short of twice

oops

never mind LMAO

so yeah this fails whenever the card number ≡ -2 mod N I think

*mod N+1

(it can also be one short of twice which is I assume within tolerance if it's congruent to -1)

Unrelated String

22:33

s‘}Zk@‘€n$}Ẏ€ bandaids it for 13 but it feels soooo within reach to do 12 somehow

(merge the two second smallest :P)

(so in the -2 case it's 1 over double instead)

...except now the -1 case is... fuck

Honestly this feels main-worthy
