@Mayube wait, one more update cause im stupid: 54 bytes

i was basically doing "if x = true return true"

Mayube

lol nice

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Calculate Smith normal form of an integer matrix Given an \$m \times n\$ matrix of integers A, there exist a \$m \times m\$ matrix P, an \$m \times n\$ matrix D, and an \$n \times n\$ matrix Q such that: P and Q are unimodular matrices (i.e. matrices which are invertible and whose inverses are a...

Should codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/19355/… be closed as dupe of codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/28672/… or vice versa?

lyxal

I think the pop-con should be closed as dupe of the code-golf

but I can't VTC as dupe yet because it'll hammer it lol

hyper-neutrino

you have a popcon hammer?

lyxal

oh yeah that's right i don't

lol

vtc'd

hyper-neutrino

I feel like the former is a subset of the latter though, and they don't really intersect all that much, do they?

emanresu A

The thing is, any solution to #1 is a solution to #2

also, the pop-con came after the code-golf

if the code-golf came after the pop-con, I'd be saying the code-golf is a dupe

possible duplicate of A program that deletes itself — Peter Taylor May 28 '14 at 7:04

hyper-neutrino

wait hold up I am thinking of it backwards

lyxal

also, the code-golf specifies the objective clearer than the pop-con

hyper-neutrino

yeah I can agree with this VTC

emanresu A

Then again, with operation unzalgo, we decided that the other one was a dupe because even though it was older, it was less well specifed and lower voted.

Btw, is https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/119298/he-cometh-not-a-zalgo-challenge?rq=1 a dupe of https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/188472/operation-unz%cc%96%cc%ac%cc%9c%cc%ba%cc%aca%cd%87%cd%96%cc%af%cd%94%cd%89l%cc%9f%cc%adg%cd%95%cc%9d%cc%bc%cd%87%cd%93%cc%aa%cd%8do%cc%ac%cc%9d%cd%8d%cc%b9%cc%bb?noredirect=1&lq=1?

Granted, totallyhuman's is the older challenge, but operation unzalgo has thhree times the score and is more comprehensive (so totallyhuman's is a subset of it IMO)

actually, maybe the code-golf is dupe

hang on just gotta think this through noe

*now

it's my understanding that, generally speaking, a question X is a dupe of question Y if answers from question Y can be copied over to question X with little modification, with the older question getting priority for remaining open

call the code-golf X and the pop-con Y

most answers from X can be copied over to Y pretty easily

but there are answers from Y that can't be copied over to X easily

like you can't exactly copy:

2

A: Code that will only execute once

Minecraft Command Block setblock ~ ~ ~ air When you run this in a command block, it destroys itself.

over to X

but any valid answer to X can be copied over to Y

1

A: A program that deletes itself

JavaScript (ES6), 13 bytes f=_=>delete f Try It Logs the source of f, calls f (which deletes f), tries to log f again but throws an error because f is now undefined. f=_=>delete f console.log(f) f() console.log(f)

for example seems to solves both

hyper-neutrino

X is older, any valid answer to X can be copied to Y, X has a more objective specification

the argument for Y being left open is that it opens the door to other creative solutions that don't just involve deleting the source

lyxal

yeah, I think Y is the dupe

emanresu A

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm too confused to vote either way.

lyxal

Any answer to X (which is older) can be applied to Y, hence Y is the dupe

at least, that's how I see it

@pxeger just an explanation of a simple program like 99 bottle of beer or fizzbuzz and the golfing tricks in it.

that'll be good to get started.

I should stalk your answers to find some explanations

Q: Find the k-th order summary of a number

Background The summary of a non-negative integer \$n\$ is the concatenation of all digits that appear in \$n\$ in increasing order, with each digit being preceded by the number of times it appears in \$n\$. Some Examples: n -> summary(n) 1221 -> 2122 (2 ones, 2 twos) 1212 ...

@emanresuA no sus :(

huh

won the ninja by under 5 seconds, but lost by a byte

caird coinheringaahing

was that a one second ninja? :P

caird and hyper answered at the same time

oh well, can't golf my answer so I'll just delete it :P

emanresu A

@hyper-neutrino @cairdcoinheringaahing Well ya both lost to Vyxal :p

If it was just summary I'd have 4 bytes with a flag

hyper-neutrino

oh you used strings

i had 9 (although it's 8 if I just don't close the foor loop)

caird coinheringaahing

Why are you summing?

hyper-neutrino

strings

thejonymyster

@Mayube ok i wasnt going to keep bothering you about random golfs me n friends made but someone just found this which blows it out of the water: i={input};o=sort(i[i>total(i)])[1]

hyper-neutrino

4:22 AM

welp i've been beaten by one byte on two languages in a row

thejonymyster

or rlly just the o=sort(i[i>total(i)])[1] part matters

hyper-neutrino

anyone want to make that a third? I'll even give away the language i'm using - python

emanresu A

@cairdcoinheringaahing The only difference between our answers is that Jelly has slightly more boilerplate for repetition.

caird coinheringaahing

And that mine doesn't actually work :P

Fixing it now, dw :P
