Introduction and Motivation I'm mainly active on Cryptography.SE and as such have already stumbled across the question: "How the hell am I supposed tools like cado-nfs to do stuff!?". They are super-complicated tools for a super-complicated task: Factoring large integers and computing large-scal...

So I've been looking at the question about Graham's number, and I've implemented a deterministic solution...but there's a catch

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ wat

The longest 5 seconds on YouTube.

►

It builds G by determining the digits from right to left, but it won't stop. Once it calculates Graham's number, it'll keep on calculating more digits. If it outputs the current value at every iteration, it'll certainly contain G, but it'll also result in a lot of unnecessary output. I'm not sure whether to post it as a solution or not, so I thought I'd see what the community thinks here.

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ woah

@LeakyNun Congrats!

@MartinEnder @mbomb007 and other Sesos golfers: You can now put multiple commands on a single line by separating them with commata. I've also fixed a bug which made it impossible to use the instruction sequence nop jnz in SASM.

@Dennis thanks

Also, @LeakyNun how much votes do you have left?

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 one

I'm leaving now, bye

@LeakyNun Congratuations! \o/

@LeakyNun bye

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 the list

@LeakyNun Which list?

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 you're missing an l ;)

I'd love to say a huge thanks to this answer.

@Downgoat edit window has closed :'(

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 the answer list

@LeakyNun What did you mean by that?

@LeakyNun Ahh...

See? It works!

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 Just golfed this.

@LegionMammal978 I saw that bait...and I took it.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I've got a probably (?) working language availability snippet for your challenge, how should I send it to you?

Should I attempt to edit it into your sandbox post?

A: Usage of 'commas' vs 'commata'

4

Use commas, not commata. The latter is simply not used by native speakers. Take a look, for example, at Google's Ngram Viewer on commas versus commata. It's not even close.

;)

@FryAmTheEggman Woah. TIL. I've literally never even heard the phrase commata before.

9:03 PM

I despise commas.

^^

@Dennis why?

It does sound pretty bad, but I think I had only heard commata ever used in like Scrabble or some similar game before. It's probably about as awful as flammable or irregardless to someone who knows why :P

Because κόμματα is the plural of κόμμα (which is what all other languages derived them word from). It's also called Kommata in German.

@FryAmTheEggman Why ``flammable''?

Yeah, the Google Ngram thing shows a lot of hits for commata in German.

9:12 PM

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan haha I also want starbound. :P

@SirBidenXVII The word is "inflammable", "flammable" was intentionally introduced to try to reduce confusion (which, of course, it only added to).

it says you want it also on steam, on the sidebar

It's kinda insane that flammable and inflammable mean the same thing.

9

ikr

should be no such thing as inflammable, and un-flammable means not flammable

Is "non-flammable" also valid?

9:14 PM

Wait, creating new types in Python is that easy? Why do the Python docs make it sound so hard?

@Dennis where in the python doc?

@Fry please do!

@Dennis they meant new types in the C code, not python defined python types

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ yeah, it looks pretty cool. It's exciting that it actually made it out of early access!

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ And flammable is the kind of word where you want to avoid confusion at all costs.

Q: Reverse array short code

Unknown count of numbers For example: Input: 1 2 3 4 56789 Output: 56789 4 3 2 1 AWK 26 chars {for(i=NF;i>0;i--)print$i} C 53 chars main(c){j0(~scanf("%d",&c)&&main()&printf("%d ",c));}

sequence

@Dennis ikr

@DrGreenEggsandIronMan yeah!

@TùxCräftîñg docs.python.org/3/extending/newtypes.html Didn't understand a word.

@Dennis you are in the doc for the C API ._.

defining python types in python is easy

Yes, TIL.

I need a character type for Jelly. Singleton strings don't cut it.

@Dennis Thaw and dethaw.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ In other words, "You must really need this job."

"Ability to deal with ambiguity" is a little too ambiguous for my tastes. I want to know exactly what kind of ambiguity I'm going to be dealing with.

TIL key + ` = small caps

So, anyone here know much googology?

The input determines how many digits of Graham's number to calculate. It can be reworked to take no input and generate digits indefinitely. The problem is that it won't stop at Graham's number--it'll continue tacking on digits for a theoretically infinite time.
