@JimmyJazzx Should I edit the question or can you figure out the answer with common sense? XD
@VoteToClose codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/55422/hello-world/… Doesn't the current MC scoring system allow /say?

@Stefnotch You should probably edit the question to be on the safe side

Q: How many typos?

ghosts_in_the_codeA typo is said to have occurred if: A character is missing. A character is extra. A character is replaced with another wrong character. For the purpose of this challenge, only lowercase characters and spaces are used. Input will be a dictionary of words, followed by one line of input. You ne...

It means it's a dupe
Er, "...the (minimum) number of typos in it."
Does that mean I can always output a 0, because I know that the typos can't be less than 0?
Well, that was a real thing.
(amazing prediction, btw!)
@quintopia おはよう
@aditsu it's afternoon here
but same to you i guess
@isaacg Is this a bug or does j have another use I'm not aware of?
Oops, I guess it's not the same... what's different? — ETHproductions 22 mins ago
18:29
it's night here :) but sounds similar
there's a new rubik's cube (traditional) world record. kid looks about 12
@quintopia Woah, less than 5 seconds :O
@quintopia Damn, that's good. I can't get below 9 seconds :O
@Vɪʜᴀɴ can you get below 10??
My stomach is extremely angry with me after the chili competition
I voted for "I came in like a wrecking bowl" by Chiley Cyrus
18:33
wtf ^
2
@Rainbolt who won?
We don't know yet
<3 people's choice
@aditsu I can't get below 10 but I was too lazy to type two numbers, 9 ≈ 10 anyway
@Vɪʜᴀɴ ok, what's your best time then?
18:34
(i'm going to a cask ale tasting in january to vote for crazy stuff. it's hard to remember what the best is sometimes when you're drunk off your carcass.)
@aditsu 10.32s
wow, that's still amazing!
agreed
@quintopia I understand. It's hard to vote for chili when the first one is like "I'm sweet... just kidding I am going to burn your tongue!" I could barely taste the next three.
18:36
I barely got under 1 minute...
@Rainbolt no worries. you can taste them later with your butt.
3 mins ago, by aditsu
wtf ^
chili: food you can enjoy twice
truth-machine is a ridiculously popular thread
I saw a clip of a guy eating supposedly the spiciest chili pepper in the world (at the time), very disappointing, he was chewing and swallowing like nothing happened, and just said "this hurts" and continued eating
I should write a Platts entry
18:39
How do you loop through a string in Pyth? shouldn't wmb work, or am I just stupid
@Vɪʜᴀɴ you would need a for loop of course...

 Pyth

For discussion of the language and golfing in it
@Vɪʜᴀɴ mpdw
(replace p with whatever)
@Vɪʜᴀɴ later in the day, or by next day morning (UTC), the creator of pyth will be there
@quintopia Ohhhh, now I feel stupid I couldn't figure that out before
@Stefnotch Still up to debate - I'll update it if that seems to be the consensus.
18:47
Why do some Minecraft answers have normal version numbers such as: 1.8.7, and others have weird ones like 15w45a
15w*** signifies a snapshot version.
Anonymous
@Vɪʜᴀɴ Releases vs snapshots
Anonymous
ninjoo'd
Specifically of 1.9 snapshots.
Imagine that 15w*** is like the experimental version. :P
hello
You guys talking about Minecraft?
18:51
Mhmm.
Discussing why different answers have different styles of writing the version.
@VoteToClose Would of been less confusing adding a "-beta" label

@Dennis *giv-me-teh-codez
I think it's a valid question, he just wants help with golfing.

Hahahaha.
@NewMainPosts I'm tempted to upvote just for the prettiness.....but I won't.
It wasn't a joke, I actually upvoted the question because it provides such a great insight on Matlab programming.
19:30
Hai. Can haz code plz? Kthxbye.
@phase Nice try. The question has no upvotes.
Matlab sux anyway.
@Dennis You sure about that?
okay seriously stop abusing upvotes

19:33
You know, you don't have to waste delete votes on that. It'll be automagically nuked by the Roomba.
fun fact
@Dennis Nice try, Dennis ... >.>
if c is an ASCII character code in [a-zA-Z0-9]
(it's not like there's much content that needs deleting here, anyway, but...)
then c | 32 is tolower(c)
19:34
TRUE
@TimmyD Maybe if I pin it...
@Dennis Thinking you can get 61 stars just for a similarly phrased statement. I'm on to you and your tricks ...
@Dennis MOD ABUSE!!!1!!1!!one!
@Dennis It's not a bug, and it's not specific to j. L is syntactic sugar for a map, and maps use d.
bool isalpha(int c) { return unsigned((c | 32) - 'a') < 26; }
19:37
Ugh. These if statements are killing me.
in K&R C: a(c){return(32|c)-97<26u;}
Has anyone ever looked at the source code for Vitsy's if/if-not?
@isaacg I knew M, L and R worked like m, but I didn't realize they actually had a lambda. Thanks!
@VoteToClose (from future import reply) That's longer than all Vitsy programs combined. o_O
case "ifnot":
	if (stac.get(currstac).get(stac.get(currstac).size()-1).intValue() == 0 && instruct.get(instruct.size()-1).get(currinstruct)[(direction) ? (position + 1)%instruct.get(instruct.size()-1).get(currinstruct).length: (position - 1 >= 0) ? position - 1: instruct.get(instruct.size()-1).get(currinstruct).length-1].equals("[")) {
		stac.get(currstac).remove(stac.get(currstac).size()-1);
		position = (direction) ? (position + 1)%instruct.get(instruct.size()-1).get(currinstruct).length: (position - 1 >= 0) ? position - 1: instruct.get(instruct.size()-1).get(currinstruct).length-1;
Much better.
That's how Vitsy deals with if-not.
if's a teensy bit shorter.
@VoteToClose That's surprisingly incomprehensible.
19:42
This is the one liner for line-wrapping:
position = (direction) ? (position + 1)%instruct.get(instruct.size()-1).get(currinstruct).length: (position - 1 >= 0) ? position - 1: instruct.get(instruct.size()-1).get(currinstruct).length-1;
V fif(ST s){O f=pop(s),t=pop(s),c=pop(s),r;r=truth(c)?t:f;if(r->t==TCB)excb(r);else psh(s,dup(r));dlo(c);dlo(t);dlo(f);} If statement handling in O
I just made it a lot worse by adding instructions as a stack.
@El'endiaStarman You should see how I handle methods. XD
@VoteToClose I just store them as a string and run them like user code
what's the shortest way to get all alphabetic characters in Python? filter(str.isalpha,map(chr,range(256))) is so long.
@phase I split the string into components and then push them to an ArrayList.
19:45
@quintopia "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwwxyz".split("")
It is worth noting that this is in the process of becoming OOP with "static" class method calls.
@phase a="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz".split("");a+=a.upper() is even longer!
@quintopia import string;string.ascii_letters
@El'endiaStarman ty
import string;string.ascii_letters
import string as s;s.ascii_letters
same
or not
i think the latter saves 1
use code tags
to find out
import string;string.ascii_letters
19:53
yeah it doesn't
import string as s;s.ascii_letters
When a challenge requres you to use no libraries, can you still use import in python?
damn. importing string breaks everything.
@quintopia but... how?!?!?
19:57
how do i do the code tag? four spaces still?
no use backticks
`
````__import__('string').ascii_letters
uh
halp
@quintopia `<code>`
__import__('string').ascii_letters
import string;string.ascii_letters
the same
i guess is_alpha and ascii_letters are a different set! i'll fix it later
Method handling in Vitsy after latest updates:
public static void methodHandler(int source) throws InterruptedException, IOException {
	ArrayList<String[]> methodFromOtherSource = new ArrayList(0);
	if (source == -1) {
		oldpos.add(new Integer[]{currinstruct,position});
		currinstruct = stac.get(currstac).get(stac.get(currstac).size()-1).intValue();
		position = 0;
		stac.get(currstac).remove(stac.get(currstac).size()-1);
		while (position < instruct.get(instruct.size()-1).get(currinstruct).length) {
			if (!looping && position > instruct.get(instruct.size()-1).get(currinstruct).length - 1) {
shudder
Actually, ternary might help me here. o-o
20:04
ternary always helps
waits for solution
string.letters puts the lowercase first for some reason

I am conflicted. I don't like tabs in source code, but I oddly enjoy seeing Alex in gigahurts pain.

Suppress your dislike of tabs for the sake of this enjoyment. It's the obvious choice.

I only put tabs in so I know where I am. xD
It is so hard to follow this code.

I do not tell you what it is good for, but annoyingly I have to know it by heart.
(It is not my bank account.)
(There would be not much to get anyway.)
20:28
People remember five digits (and more) all the time. Using it regularly helps :)
I am not people. (At least not all the time.)
True. I don't know what kind of memory snakeheads have.
That's just the 6-10th digits of the decimal expansion of sine of 25 degrees. Pshaw, easy-peasy. oeis.org/A019834
And in the cube root of e, how obvious.
It's a 70 hour/week schedule. 8 to 6, Monday through Sunday.
20:30
Well, sure, but no one uses that. People use the decimal expansion of sine of 25 degrees all the time. I'm using it right now, for instance.
@flawr And e^(7phi)
Well, no.
But that's what RIES told me. :D
Apart from oeis, do you know mrob.com/pub/ries?
@VoteToClose Damn Ninja.
(x+3)/9^2 = 4^5-4 <-- That's your number, flawr.
e*pi-e^pi /3
(x^(1/e))/7 = 1/5+9
20:36
We should make a challenge out of this=)
Given a number, find a nice formula for it=)
Must contain at least one instance of e.

Must a program terminate after outputting what's required? I remember a discussion about this but not a conclusion
Not that I want to cheat by saying "it outputs the right thing, and then outputs a bunch more stuff", it just gets caught in an infinite loop after doing the right thing for some input
@undergroundmonorail Yes, they do

A: Do programs have to terminate?

Sp3000Submissions should always terminate by default Personally, I think this is just the neater option, simple as that. If we allow non-terminating submissions, then it'll just feel like a "hidden rule" to new users.

Yeah, I just found that same answer :P
