So wait, can X and Y be the same number?
(Ignoring duplicates)
 
yes
it can
i think uniformly independent means that?
 
Yeah, just making sure.
 
if you want to edit the question to make it fit the general question guideline, go and do it(it reduce my workload)

nice

Today's AoCG?
 
That should be @riker posting it
18 hours ago, by Riker
@Bubbler i'll take one of them, 24th should work, if nobody else claims it
 
@Riker
 
can I post it if Riker doesn't turn up by say 0:45?
 
Seems reasonable
I'd say yes

Q: AoCG2021 Day 24: Is the bus company cheating?

pxegerPart of Advent of Code Golf 2021 event. See the linked meta post for details. Related to AoC2020 Day 13, Part 2. Why Bubbler isn't posting this; Why Riker isn't posting this A shuttle bus service runs between the sea port (where you are) to the airport (where you need to go). Each bus has an ID ...

Hey everyone, I've just published a new minimalist golfing language that I'd been working on, Minipyth: github.com/isaacg1/minipyth

A python-based programming language written in Rust? Nice job :P
Are you going to create a byte encoding for it?
 
It's not python-based, it's pyth based
It's intentionally not byte-encoded, I really don't like that sort of thing
It's written in the lowercase alphabet intentionally
 
Is it TC?
 
I'm pretty sure it is, the w, r and x functions all allow unbounded looping, they should be powerful enough
 
1:31 AM
Cool
 
Thanks!
 
I'ma go try do fizzbuzz in this
 
It doesn't have strings yet, so that will be hard
But I'm glad you're excited!
 
Are you going to setup an online interpreter?
 
Definitely. Are there any standard ways of doing that currently?
 
1:36 AM
Can't rust be compiled to webassembly?
(Basically JS)
 
It can, might be a good way to do it
 
Well then you don't need a backend :P
 
Yeah client-side would be nice

Q: Order of an algebraic number

caird coinheringaahingConsider some arbitrary polynomial with integer coefficients, $$a_n x^n + a_{n-1}x^{n-1} + \cdots + a_1x + a_0 = 0$$ We'll assume that \$a_n \ne 0\$ and \$a_0 \ne 0\$. The solutions to this polynomial are algebraic numbers. For example, take the polynomial $$x^4 - 10x^2 + 1 = 0$$ We have that \$x...

 
Gold !!!!!!

@emanresuA Your profile's showing 998/1000 for me
Caching maybe?
 
Nice :P
And you're only 274 rep away from 20k rep this year :P
 
2:29 AM
No, the 101 difference is the association bonus + starting 1 rep
 
Oh ok
You've almost got 23k lol
(You had a three-month head start so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
 
And almost 4 years experience before hand, I had 20k+ rep at the start of the year. Its much harder to get so much rep from scratch than when you already have rep
 
@emanresuA Wow, congrats!
 
Ngl, I'd love a "Stack Exchange Wrapped" :P
 
Ooh, I should write a challenge to post on christmas
I always want to and forget
 
2:36 AM
Sure I can figure out what I've done this year, but I want to lazily be presented with a bunch of stats about my activity instead :P
 
Do you mean windowsphone.se?
Nvm, thought you meant something else
 
Yeah, in the theme of Spotify Wrapped :P
Think Reddit did something similar
 
@someonewhounderstandsjellychaining How do I get this to output something like [[1,2,3,4,5],[2,3,4,5,6],[3,4,5,6,7], etc]?
 
How far do you want it to go?
Try it online! or is this what you want?
 
That's exactly what I wanted, thanks
 
3:26 AM
@emanresuA enjoy your new SE provided hammer :p

Back in the good old days where you wouldn't need a big italicized warning about making sure it's updated :p

@isaacg 2021's shaping up to be a great year for interesting new golflangs!
 
Is there a good way to batch/bulk edit answers? I want to edit all of my TypeScript Types answers to get syntax highlighting (```ts -> ```lang-ts)
 
nope. :/
 
:/
I should've spent the 10 seconds to google to find the lang-ts thing before posting 22 TypeScript Types answers
Oh, and editing all of them would spam Active Questions, wouldn't it
 
att
Similar feeling when I discover a golf that can improve previous answer(s) of mine, but I don't remember exactly which
 
I guess I better start AoEMPAoCGAiTST (Advent of Editing My Previous AoCG Answers in TypeScript Types)

A: Nominations for Language of the Month, 2021 edition

RazetimeJ-uby In my search for peculiar and interesting golfing related languages, I came across a particularly cool fusion of J's modifiers and ruby's metaprogramming called J-uby. Why J-uby? If you like Ruby, J-uby is effectively a tacit-enabled superset of it. J-uby has complex, highly varied methods...

in flax, 58 secs ago, by PyGamer0
so i will start by aplising them
new word: aplise, aplising
 
@PyGamer0 It means "to make like APL", no?
 
@Adám exactly
 
Are "aplify" and "aplifying" synonyms?
 
yes
aplise ≡ aplify
 
aplification – over time, golfing languages tend to see increased aplification

@PyGamer0 what do you mean "reveal"
 
uh, ok let me Rephrase that
did you use your voice in one of your videos?

Well I just stumbled across a site with a worrying security practice
If you click "remember me on this device", it just pastes the email and password you last used to sign in into those boxes. Which means, not only is your email/password being stored directly in a cookie on your machine instead of a session token, but if you reuse your password, somebody could just go to that site's homepage on your laptop, open dev tools, and see your password in plain text.
 
4:13 PM

@Razetime BQN tutorial?
 
if you need help with your golf you can ask
 
*give up*
@Razetime Wait, If i create a programming language named BQN, i get 50 rep?
 
4:46 PM
@Fmbalbuena you get flagged
 
@Razetime lol, Ok
i can't do it
 
you can
 
i don't understand the challenge
 
take your time
there is no hurry
 
[5, 6, 8, 3, 9, 4, 2, 1, 7], dists: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] => [4, 4, 5, 1, 4, 2, 5, 7, 2] => ?
@Razetime ^
 
4:51 PM
yup
 
oh i understood
But BQN ≈ APL, I can't do in APL, then i can't do in BQN
 
@Fmbalbuena If you can do it in BQN, then you can do it in APL.
You can always learn a new skill.
 
i can't do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
length in BQN?
@Razetime ^
 
@Fmbalbuena according to mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/doc/shape.html
 
The primitives page has all the primitives
 
4:59 PM
BQN interpreter?
...
 
This page has an online interpreter right at the top
 
@Razetime When did JavaScript get that fancy?
 
@Razetime what is this?
 
they just kept adding things to it
@Fmbalbuena if you don't userscripts, ignore it

Q: The 64 Bit, 32 Bit.... Meme

leo-but-not-the-other-guyYour challenge is to print out the following strings. 64 bits 32 bits 16 bits 8 bits 4 bits! 2 bits! 1 bit! Half bit! Quarter bit! The wrist game! Inspired by the following video: https://youtu.be/Hj4imphiutk, which turned into a viral meme The strings can be separated using Linebreaks or Space...

 
Retrocomputing's scope is practically “stuff older than me”.
@Fmbalbuena “Note that it doesn't matter if we use 1 or 0 indexing”; might save a couple of bytes.
 
@Razetime Wrote an answer, but I'm fine with you giving the rep to Fmbalbuena instead, I just wanted to flex
 
@NewPosts FGITW
 
5:07 PM
Not the most interesting challenge, anyone want to close as a duplicate?
 
@user No, don't do it
there is no dupe
 
@user you can remove the 1+
 
Literally any kolmo challenge out there would do
 
5:09 PM
@Razetime But then I'd have to prepend an empty list (or filter out all the empty lists)
 
which is what the userscript is for
 
Oh cool
 
@user it's still the same length so i think it's valid
 
also for the record that's an awful fgitw
like it seems like you literally didn't try to golf it
 
@user run button?
 
5:11 PM
> shift-enter to run
 
@Razetime Oh, I didn't realize the order of the output didn't matter
Edited, thanks
 
Range in BQN? (2 returns (1_2))
 
Ctrl+F is your friend, if you go here, you'll see a Range function
 
but not working
 
I already gave you tutorials. Did you finish them and run the examples?
 
5:17 PM
lambda?
 
F ← ⊢⊔˜·|⊒˜⊸-
F ↩ (|⊒˜⊸-)⊸⊔
@user ^^ I got these two trains
 
@Razetime i don't understand
 
there might be a better one
 
Ooh, nice
 
@Fmbalbuena what does this mean
@Fmbalbuena you're not supposed to.
first read the tutorials
 
5:19 PM
@Razetime {⍵+⍵}8 in APL example
 
make an attempt at learning
 
@Razetime I think they want to know how to make anonymous functions
@Fmbalbuena The right argument in BQN is 𝕩, so that'd be {𝕩+𝕩}8
 
@Razetime Learning is the hardest skill to learn. — Socrates / Confucius / Albert Einstein / Mike from the pub
 
@Fmbalbuena 𝕨 is and 𝕩 is
 
{↕≠𝕩}⟨ 2‿6‿3‿2 ⟩ not working
i want range(len(x)) but not working
 
5:22 PM
remove the ⟨⟩
 
thanks
wait multidimensional array in BQN?
 
@Razetime Ah, I think I understand now, is smart
 
that trick is on the tips thread
 
Oh lol, didn't realize BQN had one
 
useful in some trains
@user i'll be adding things as i discover them
 
5:28 PM
@Razetime do this first in BQN?
[() in APL]

Q: Is there a rule about Questions asking to print a specific text?

leo-but-not-the-other-guyMine got closed because it was the same as the Hello World Thread, which isn't the case since the text contains a lot of repeating words and symbols, which are easily compressable. I also got downvoted 2 times without explanation. Link: The 64 Bit, 32 Bit.... Meme

 
7:22 PM
Y'know what I hate? Things that test your code against hidden test cases, except that the non-hidden test cases only cover a small subset of the behavior
5
And worse, the instructions are vague enough that it's difficult to know what the intended behavior even is in a lot of cases
 
Hear, hear!
HackerRank does this, so annoying
 
7:39 PM
Like...I'm doing a google foobar thing, and I have literally no clue why the last test case is failing, because I was only given two visible test cases to work off of and they're both trivial
And I can't just design my own because the task is difficult to do by hand
 
7:56 PM
Okay, figured it out. It was because one of the hidden test cases used a super hecking janky input
Well, that's one less thing I need to worry about today
