The Nineteenth Byte

The Nineteenth Byte: General discussion for codegolf.stackexc...

It looks more like a code fragment to me.

@El'endiaStarman On the answer you posted for the Alex-add: is that a function?
Dec 7, 2015 04:12
@AlexA. Are all your challenges food themed?
Dec 7, 2015 02:41
@orlp Oh, I see. Yes, if you miss good primes, you would get a bigger difference between them.
Dec 7, 2015 02:39
@orlp If the result is a prime, it would still be valid, right?
Dec 7, 2015 02:36
@orlp Let me guess what you're doing: You're generating numbers that meet the condition, i.e. have the form 1 + 2^k * p^n (with p a prime). Then you're using a probabilistic prime test on the result. Am I on the right track?
Dec 7, 2015 02:31
@orlp Looks like I'm not going to win then? ;)

I log in and you guys are already talking about turtles?

@phase I bet his CSS code is shorter than yours!

@quintopia I think moderators might have a secret button to force the avatar to update immediately.

And if you can't decide if you want to join the AAP or the CAP, you use a cartoon animal!

@AlexA. At the time I used it, it was a pain to add images. For pure text, it was great. And for math formula, head and shoulders above anything else.
Nov 22, 2015 06:30
@Dennis Link works now!
Nov 22, 2015 06:30
@phase The hardcore solution was Latex, typed in vi.
Nov 22, 2015 06:28
Well, I don't have much of a choice. A long time ago I used FrameMaker for complex documents. That was great. For simple documents, Pages on the Mac is fine. Very limited, but at least it makes sense.
Nov 22, 2015 06:27
The one I hate with a passion is Word. Drives me crazy every time I have to use it.
Nov 22, 2015 06:25
@AlexA. Now that's a little simplistic, isn't it? And it's from Seattle, after all... Well, almost.
Nov 22, 2015 06:24
Not really sure why I'm using it. I don't have a good excuse.
Nov 22, 2015 06:23
@phase Edge
Nov 22, 2015 06:22
@phase Ok, I'll tell Microsoft. ;)
Nov 22, 2015 06:21
@Dennis That one works. But the link on the page shows up as cjam.tryitonline.net////sourceforge.net/projects/cjam for me.
Nov 22, 2015 06:21
@El'endiaStarman Could probably still start a DOS attack by submitting a lot of jobs at once? I believe these kinds of concerns were a main reason aditsu went with a client side approach.
Nov 22, 2015 06:19
@El'endiaStarman That was for Dennis. Alex ninjad me by typing a message in between.
Nov 22, 2015 06:17
So I can bring your server to its knees with my endless loops?

Nov 22, 2015 06:16
@Dennis 404 error, page not found
Nov 22, 2015 06:13
@Dennis The CJam link in the title does not work for me. Is this basically the same online interpreter that aditsu uses, just hosted differently? Or is it a different interpreter?
Nov 22, 2015 06:10
@Dennis Oh, I see. It only suppresses stderr. I thought it might be fancy single stepping or something.
Nov 22, 2015 06:07
@El'endiaStarman I believe a --> b is equivalent to (not a) or b
Nov 22, 2015 06:06
@Dennis How does Debug work? It changes the color of the button when I click it, but I don't see anything else happening.
Nov 22, 2015 06:01
@AlexA. Really. Now I even found the shortcut on the right side.
Nov 22, 2015 06:00
Ok, so I didn't know it existed.
Nov 22, 2015 05:59
@AlexA. You sure?
Nov 22, 2015 05:55
Well, there are only 16 of them. Wouldn't be surprised if all of them had names.
Nov 22, 2015 05:54
@El'endiaStarman Another common Boolean operator is if-then, written as an arrow -->
Nov 22, 2015 05:27
You could also just call it Perl Jam.

Nov 22, 2015 05:07
mods have pajama parties? now there's a piece of information I didn't need...
Nov 14, 2015 02:53
all we need is sharks with laser beams on their heads

You need to use an equal amount of JSON and JDAUGHTER to be politically correct!

Nov 13, 2015 03:58
@AlexA. You should! Some company (that shall rename nameless) got complaints because one of their devices responded "Santa Clause is a fictional character" to the question "Is Santa real?"
Nov 13, 2015 03:55
Believe what?
Nov 13, 2015 03:54
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Just checking in to see if Alex is behaving. ;)

@Dennis It's Friday!

@quartata All the content was there with 15 bytes of Pyth. Except that it had annoying newlines between the pieces of output.
Oct 31, 2015 03:19
@quartata Strangely enough, I also had 18 characters for that challenge! ;) Then I thought I might try if I could figure out GolfScript, since I had downloaded it the other day. But not surprisingly, Dennis beat me to that. Then I thought it might be simple enough to figure out in Pyth. I was very close, but couldn't find the right operator to join the strings before Maltysen posted.
Oct 23, 2015 05:38
@Justin You can only hope that the people at the party are smarter than us!
Oct 23, 2015 05:31
I'll be "airline passenger". Will be on a plane on Halloween. Not really into it anyway.
Oct 23, 2015 05:25
@AlexA. What? Most images on web pages are JPEG, aren't they?
Oct 23, 2015 05:23
@El'endiaStarman I haven't really encountered a gif in a long time. These days it's mostly PNG or JPEG.
 

 Pyth

For discussion of the language and golfing in it
Oct 30, 2015 06:44
@isaacg (or any of the other experts) Minor thing I wondered about while looking at a Pyth solution: It looks like division with / always produces an integer result, even if both values are floating point. Is there a different operator for division with a floating point result?
