wouldn't transpose be better to have than zip?
 
Seggan
Seggan
@att we can have both

att
zip is basically just a transpose though
 
Seggan
Seggan
no because it pairs
you could always zip then flatten

I don't follow
 
Seggan

zipping 2 lists then flattening the result is a transpose

zip(a b c, d e f) is the same as transpose((a b c,d e f)), no?
 
Seggan

nop
zip = [[a,d],[b,e],[c,f]]

what is zipping

I don't see how it's different from transpose then

transpose makes [a,d,b,e,c,f], zip makes [[a,d],[b,e],[c,f]]
 
att
att
that's not what a transpose is
 
Bubbler

no, transpose of [[a, b, c], [d, e, f]] is [[a, d], [b, e], [c, f]]
 
Seggan

its not?

12:09 AM
you google "python transpose", what you get is zip(*mat)
so zip == transpose

ok then
ill keep calling it zip tho

reason I suggested transpose over zip is your current zip only acts on 2 lists

Q: Repost "Word stays a word after taking away a letter"?

mathcat"Word stays a word after taking away a letter. Repeat" was a massively downvoted question, not because of challenge, but mainly because it was badly written.

Given that mathcat was the one who asked, the general "who gets to repost is?" goes Hubert Grzeskowiak (original poster), mathcat, then someone else
Strictly speaking, mathcat should ask Hubert if they'd like to repost it, but we generally let the person who asked on meta repost the challenge when the OP is no longer active

why would you need triply curried one though

Because I have a decorator that takes an argument and modifies the function's return value
So the signature's something like:

@des54321 were you thinking of brute forcing over strings of {,} with eval as a validator

des54321
@UnrelatedString not even yet, im just trying to manually make the first however many terms of the sequence to see if i can find a related OEIS entry, and i wanted to use python to validate whether I had typed the same set twice
because {{{},{{}}},{{{}}}} and {{{},{{}}},{{}}} look a lot alike
 
Unrelated String
Unrelated String
ah
...there's probably a lot of different ways to order an enumeration of all pure sets and i wouldn't expect a ton of them to be on oeis even if you do guess the encoding right so good luck
but also good idea
 
des54321
des54321
my thought is that we can group pure sets into groups of different "depths", and the number of sets on each depth might be a useful sequence
 
Unrelated String
Unrelated String
i feel like the easiest approach would be to recur with some notion of "thickness"
like for every positive integer thickness you generate sets the elements of which have thicknesses that yeah that's sort of what i'm thinking of
though strict "depth" would not solve much

depths 1,2 and 3 are all trivial, as depth one is just {}, depth two is just {{}}, and depth 3 is just {{{}}} and {{{}},{}}, but im pretty sure there are 11 sets at depth 4

@des54321 depth(n+1) = 2^(sum for i from 1 to n-1 of depth(i)) * depth(n)?
 
Unrelated String
Unrelated String
^
at depth 4 you just have sets of all sets of depth 3 or lower, etc.
 
Bubbler
Bubbler
but you need to include at least one of previous depth
 
pxeger
pxeger
yeah I just realised that
 
Bubbler
Bubbler
...and that's not how combinatorics works

yeah, any set of depth n has to include one set from depth n-1, and can contain any other sets of lower depth
 
pxeger

6:57 AM
@Bubbler yeah I just realised that ;)
@pxeger depth(n+1) = 2^(sum for i from 1 to n-1 of depth(i)) * (2 ^ depth(n) - 1)
 
Bubbler

should be this
 
des54321

huh looks like i missed a set of depth 4, not surprised honestly
 
Bubbler

(any subset of all sets up to depth n-1) - (any subset of all sets up to depth n-2)

and also it's probably AI generated anyway, so it's not exactly "mine" to control lol

@lyxal the one where i gave a 3 byte solution against your 9 bytes :P

including the trivial N = N?
and also do negative numbers count too
 
Seggan
Seggan
1) yes
2) no
 
thejonymyster
thejonymyster
i say N=N should be optional, if you want my opinion
 
pxeger
pxeger
and I guess also not including 0?
 
thejonymyster
thejonymyster
which everyone always always does
 
pxeger
pxeger
because otherwise anything starting with 1 will have a duplicate, but with 0 prepended

yea agree, no 0

yeah, thats what i assumed in the cmc too
@thejonymyster it actually made my code shorter
 
thejonymyster
thejonymyster
i mean optional to the solver yeah
cause you never know
"its golfier if i count them" vs "its golfier if i dont count them"

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

thejonymysterIs This Loss? Given two shapes A and B in ASCII-art, determine if the A appears within B. (more spec to come? i'm not sure how to phrase this) Examples Shape B (will remain the same for the next few examples): # # # # # # # ########### # # # # # # # ### Shape(s) A (separated by ne...

@thejonymyster Bearing in mind the title joke, I think this assumption should be removed
I can't see many answers relying on it, and it makes for better clickbait

Not sure I understand the title/clickbait factor in that assumption

the Loss image can be made better
 
thejonymyster
thejonymyster
oh lolol
the shapes in the contiguous loss are way more interesting though :P

 #       #
 #       #  #

 #  #    #
 #  #    # ###
 
thejonymyster
thejonymyster
and a shape perhaps appearing therein would be 
#       #  #

#  #    #
right?
 
pxeger
pxeger
I was thinking the other way around
Given a shape, does Loss appear within it?
 
thejonymyster

oh, loss specifically?
if its loss specifically then its a dupe of the U bend imo :P
 
pxeger
pxeger
well no, but the example you'd give would have Loss as the input to find, not the input to have a pattern found within
 
thejonymyster
thejonymyster
well yea
the order doesnt matter
but uh hm
 
pxeger
pxeger
Order does matter
 
thejonymyster
thejonymyster
in that case, the other input would be
 
pxeger
pxeger
## is inside ####, but #### is not in ##
 
thejonymyster

2:12 PM
no im like
words hard 
#  #    #  #
#  #    #  #

#  #    # ###
#  #    # ###
so this might be input 2
i understand what youre getting at now
that is better clickbait

Do not underestimate the HNQ effect ;)

lol no of course i respect the drip i just didnt understand your plan

drip?
 
thejonymyster

very good idea, will implement later (im at work and my supervisor is showing up in any minute lolol)

@pxeger you clearly don't own an air fryer if you don't have drip
