@xnor congrats

thanks!

is it output-hacking? :P

i can see why you might think that given there's only 3 test cases, but it's actually more or less legit

nice

12:44 AM
> more or less

Let me guess, doesn't work for 0 or something?

1:27 AM
@xnor my guess: generating functions

1:43 AM
@orlp generating functions?

@ASCII-only yes

(what do you mean)

it's not short enough but something like this

In mathematics, a generating function is a way of encoding an infinite sequence of numbers (an) by treating them as the coefficients of a power series. This formal power series is the generating function. Unlike an ordinary series, this formal series is allowed to diverge, meaning that the generating function is not always a true function and the "variable" is actually an indeterminate. Generating functions were first introduced by Abraham de Moivre in 1730, in order to solve the general linear recurrence problem. One can generalize to formal series in more than one indeterminate, to encode...

n=input();k=2**n;print k**-~n/~-(k*~-k)%k
that's 41 bytes
@ASCII-only bonus points if you figure it out :P

1:51 AM
@orlp wait, how did you get this

@ASCII-only that's the challenge to figure out :)

ah :|

generating functions :)
n=input();k=2**n;print k**n*k/(k*k-k-1)%k
@ASCII-only I'll be nice and give you the deobfuscated version

This might not be that interesting, but I finally got a good USB Wifi adapter for my laptop and have been basking in the ~100 Mbps wireless speeds I should have always had.

@orlp hmm. so it appears to basically be using the "solving for the generating function" part of this, where k^2-k-1 = (1-k-k^2)-1? i think? i still have no idea what's going on, will (probably) think about it more when i get home

2:35 AM
@feersum what do you mean by interact? Travis has debug mode which allows you to SSH

3:08 AM
Funky2 offers two methods of logical not ! and not, but with different operator precedence. I'm sure this will be useful somewhere.

@ATaco so like ruby

Maybe
I don't know Ruby

@ATaco yes. except afaik ruby does it with and/or instead
the alphabetical ones being lower precedence than most operators

I could theoretically do that with Funky2, but i'm not sure at what precedence I'd put the symbol ones.

@ATaco normal precedence
i.e. just higher than =/+= etc

3:16 AM
Hmm, Well, I think I won't touch it just yet.

@orlp ok so this has 22 alphanumerics, i think? so we need to somehow simplify the formula to get rid of three :thinking:

4:05 AM
@Downgoat Like testing a GUI app.

You can run UI tests with Travis

Ha ha um, let's make that QA-ing the GUI app.

@WW I made a literal "bwah?" noise when I saw +500 in my rep notifier. I didn't even realise you'd put a bounty for my quine answer?

[Pyth]: What's wrong with this program? pyth.herokuapp.com/…
Looks like that the online interpreter has some missing libraries.

8:41 AM
TIL: Javascript is optimized for looping through arrays in ascending order, giving a 15-20% speed increase compared to descending order

@ASCII-only If only ↖^↖⊕⊗θ→↑⊗θ↗⊕θ‖ＢＭ↓↙⊗θ→↓⊗θ⟲Ｃ↑⁴Ｊ⁰¦⁰v worked, it's 8 bytes shorter than the best two solutions so far.

8:59 AM
CMC: Given a list of integers, output a truthy value if the product of any 2 integers in the list is greater than the sum of the list, otherwise output a falsey value (any 2 distinct values can be used)

@Mayube [1,1,3] true or false?

@Mayube Brachylog, 7 bytes: ⊇Ċ×>~+?

@Adám false, the highest product in that list is 1 x 3 = 3, whilst the sum is 1 + 1 + 3 = 5

10 bytes with a fork: ⟨{⊇Ċ×}>ᵈ+⟩

9:06 AM
Jelly, 7 bytes: ŒcP€Ṁ>S

@Neil :| oops

@user202729 interestingly enough, turns out for(i = x; i--;){} is slower than for(i = x; i > 0; i--){} by about 20%

@Neil hmm. actually i have no idea why i didn't implement rotatecopy for cardinal directions

9:53 AM
@Mayube well, depends on your engine obviously :P

10:12 AM
@ASCII-only hint
you know that $F(x) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty fib(n)x^n$
can you explain this?
>>> f=lambda x: x/(1 - x - x**2)
>>> f(0.001)
0.001001002003005008

10:37 AM
@ASCII-only same results in chrome, firefox and node

and old FF, and Safari

Does Pyth have cumulative sum? Or cumulative reduce without starting point?
I can get .u+YNtQhQ, but it's too long;
And sM._Q is (probably) too slow.

11:03 AM
@Mayube Doesn't that run 1 extra iteration..?
Yeah, because i-- returns what i was, not what i is set to, an additional execution of the loop happens.

@ATaco no, you iterate from 4 to 0 instead of 5 to 1
(that is, the value of i is different inside the loop, but the number of iterations is the same)

Both cases use i = x, but the first, i-- includes 0, the second, does not.

@ATaco but excludes the upper bound...
because it decrements before the loop body

Well, then it's probably just implementation issues, because Javascript.

@ATaco no... it's just optimization for certain cases
@ATaco you do not know how optimized JS is

11:15 AM
You are correct, I don't.

(if you want to find out, check out mozilla/google's js engine blog posts)

12:02 PM
@lol wdym

12:34 PM
How can JS even be optimized
You can't guarantee i is an integer
Or if it is, that it is small enough that i - 1 != i

@feersum crazy people do crazy things.

Do people ever use asm.js idioms in hand-written Java Scripts?

unsigned long long long x;
It was worth a try...

Oh cool
Thanks Mr Wolfram

@quartata They (specifically, Jesús Hernández from Wolfram Research) reached out via email.

Python can be so unhelpful sometimes

1:43 PM
List is mutable.
No, that behavior is very helpful. For example, to implement Dodos' call stack.
The list is shared for all calls of the function.
You can do s=(), but then it can't be pop.

s=s[:] works

(I hope you know why)
tio.run/… is even shorter.

Yeah, I've hit something like this before

Make the for loop 1line is even shorterer.
And convert ..if..else.. to ..and..or.. .
Less efficient, of course.

@user202729 Unfortunately if I did that, I would have the exact same code as another person's answer

1:47 PM
Anyone know Pyth here?

@isaacg

Not pingable.

@BetaDecay default values for function arguments are only evaluated once
and then return a reference to the same instance every time
since lists are mutable, you're just changing that same instance all the time

This is a 2-dimensional version of this question. Given a non-empty 2-dimensional array/matrix containing only non-negative integers:  \begin{bmatrix} {\color{Red}0} & {\color{Red}0} & {\color{Red}0} & {\color{Red}0} & {\color{Red}0} \\ {\color{Red}0} & {\color{Red}0} & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ {\color{R...

def f(p,s=()):
for i in p:
if i:s+=i,

return s
that works

@user202729 Have I done it right? tio.run/##y00syUjNTSzJTE78/z/N1jMtOiC/…

No.

Meh

That still doesn't help

Why? It says body&.
Note the &.

ohhh

Better.
Now Positive....

I've just realised what I did wrong

@user202729 Kenny probably does

[Pyth] Is it possible to make pf (preceding function) a composition of multiple functions?

But it's almost uniform, not completely equal.

I bought overcooked yesterday and played with my little sister for 5 hours straight
Game is great

@Pavel +1

@DJMcMayhem Do you know if it has online multiplayer? I haven't checked yet.

If you like that, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is really good too and pretty similar

Question: does something look different about comment editing? I don't feel like it used to show both the comment AND the text in the edit box. Maybe that's just me...

@Pavel uhhh, not sure. I think it does?

4:08 PM
@DJMcMayhem That's a fun game!

@DJMcMayhem Actually, it was part of a bundle with Overcooked, and it was on sale so it was only like 99 cents more than Overcooked yesterday, so I have it too. Haven't played it yet though.

Oh, and it's completely different, but Ultimate Chicken Horse is like my favorite party game

@Pavel Was that the bundle with battle block theatre?

@DJMcMayhem I think Quiplash 2 is one of my favorites. It's part of Jackbox 3

4:10 PM
@DJMcMayhem No, Battle Block Theatre is by Behemoth and is in a bundle with Castle Crashers
I'm celebrating my birthday tommorow, so I went out and bought a bunch of games, extra controllers, board games, donuts, etc.

Which boardgames?

Axis & Alies, Eldritch Horror, Terra Mystica, 3 more Munchkin expansions

I would buy a VR headset just for keep talking and nobody explodes
it looks so good

You don't need VR for that
It's great fun just with a monitor

...you don't?

4:14 PM
No

I thought the whole point was the haptics

@Pavel You know who I'd be in the first one: Switzerland, so I don't have to participate :p

@quartata It is really good on Vive though

@DJMcMayhem Hah, I actually had all those anyway. I actually just mean this one: store.steampowered.com/bundle/1788/Overcooked_Gourmet_Edition
@quartata The whole point is yelling at each other for being terrible at decoding morse code

It's what I'm here for ;P

ok. so i just found out that, this entire time,, weve been having a bit of a Cultural Disconnect over the word "ant". it means something completely different
it really puts some of these tweets in a different light. i thought they were black comedy
literally dark comedy

it's not slang for antilope
it's its own thing

apparently it means some kind of extinct bug
so that makes me look like a right fool...

> The wallet asks that you also enter a second anchor such as a phone number, social security number, or email address or “salt”. This ensures that no two users can ever end up with the same phrase.
Mhmm. Sure. Absolutely no one is going to have password1. And since when do users pick their own salt?

@DJMcMayhem Well, the hardware is irrelevant, but serves to lock you in the $50 coin preloading, which is where this scam makes it's money. 7:41 PM @DJMcMayhem I wonder the number of people with password1 and 867-5309 @AdmBorkBork It took me 6 minutes to realize that wasn't an arbitrary sequence of numbers... thats_the_joke.jpg I don't get it Ah 7:56 PM That reminds me of a question that's been bugging me recently (but not enough to go over to Music and write a question) -- can you name a band where the drummer is a/the lead singer? OK, so I haven't updated Docker in a while and it turns out that was a good thing: :P @AdmBorkBork Mumford and Sons, Death from above 1979, Phil Collins, Underoath, Hmm...

I use them to make Linux install media

I haven't seen someone handle a CD in a long time

Last time I used a CD was my Linux before this one. This time, I realized no working computer in the house has a CD drive, so flash drive it was.

3 copies, or was it spread across 3 cds?
