I'm not even American, it's just a fact currently

Fatalize

As long as it stays reasonable and respectful

I mean we said we should allow off-topic discussions again on TNB, having a few messages on election day of the most influential county in the world is acceptable I would think

(not that I'm surprised Trump won, USA is a funny place)

Fatalize

Nov 6, 2024 08:50

Didn't expect to learn that Trump is pretty much guaranteed to win today, I thought it would take a couple of days to be sure like last election

Can’t imagine that the UK’s king could realistically veto anything in NZ anymore

Why don’t they guillotine Charles like us? Simple solution

Fatalize

Aug 8, 2024 08:35

So Australia and NZ still have Charles as king? What about Canada?

Fatalize

@TheEmptyStringPhotographer Isn’t that the case for loads of countries?

Any random idiot can buy a gun in the US, if anything it’s more surprising that those things don’t happen more often

@UnrelatedString I think so yeah

Fatalize

Apparently I’m 143 pounds

Fatalize

Jun 24, 2024 14:02

I don’t even know what my weight is in pounds, I have no point of reference

Fatalize

Jun 24, 2024 14:02

@hyper-neutrino …but why

Fatalize

Jun 24, 2024 13:59

Or pounds for weight… at least you don’t use stones like the brits

Fatalize

Jun 24, 2024 13:57

@UnrelatedString No because I don’t use barbaric units like feet and inches

Fatalize

The site is called "code golf and coding challenges", not competition. I think we should stop caring about comparing the score of answers

Fatalize

Jun 4, 2024 14:14

Having eyes is sufficient :p

Fatalize

Jun 4, 2024 14:13

@Adám And you see no issue with that style?

Fatalize

Jun 4, 2024 14:08

Adam probably got his cursed coding style habits from reading J's source code

Fatalize

Jun 4, 2024 14:00

(with more explicit names)

Fatalize

Jun 4, 2024 14:00

For example, you write setInterval(H(),i), I would always write setInterval(H(), i)

Fatalize

Jun 4, 2024 13:59

I think the main point is that you should write code that’s readable to anyone and not just you, and most seem to agree that your style is very obscure

Fatalize

Jun 4, 2024 13:58

@Adám That’s because you’re used to Hebrew and APL

Fatalize

Jun 4, 2024 13:57

@Adám Make it more readable

Fatalize

Jun 4, 2024 13:57

Not putting spaces anywhere is a cardinal sin in and of itself

Fatalize

Apr 29, 2024 10:03

By making you mean working on the contents of the books, or working on the "interactive" part?

Fatalize

Apr 29, 2024 08:00

@DLosc I tried it too and it’s because I implemented it using metapredicates (here is the equivalent in Brachylog). We would need a purer implementation with no metapreds that you can’t reverse.

Fatalize

Apr 17, 2024 14:46

(because it doesn’t unify with the empty list as the last possible suffix)

Fatalize

Apr 17, 2024 14:45

@DLosc Tried things with a₁ but it won’t work if the list is full of 0s

Fatalize

Apr 8, 2024 14:29

tl;dr English needs better grammatical rules

Fatalize

Apr 8, 2024 14:24

yeah, I also thought about "which … depends on" but I’m not sure that’s quite right either

Fatalize

Apr 8, 2024 14:21

@TheEmptyStringPhotographer Is it clearer with my example? I need an answer quickly :p

Fatalize

Apr 8, 2024 14:15

or "it requests from X the list of Ys on which Z depends"

Fatalize

Apr 8, 2024 14:15

The full sentence would be "it requests from X the list of Ys from which Z depends on"

Fatalize

Apr 8, 2024 14:04

Or should it be "on which it depends", or something else

Fatalize

Apr 8, 2024 14:01

Any native English speaker in the chat? Is "…from which it depends on" grammatically correct?

Fatalize

Mar 4, 2024 09:53

e.g. [2,1] is not a prefix of [1,2,3]

Fatalize

Mar 4, 2024 09:50

(Or this one which is roughly the same)

Fatalize

Mar 4, 2024 09:50

Maybe I’m stupid but I don’t understand how this challenge’s definition of prefix makes any sense

Fatalize

Jan 22, 2024 10:41

Ok I think the test case is just wrong

Fatalize

Jan 22, 2024 10:40

11121 is already composite so why would the test case result be 1112

Fatalize

Jan 22, 2024 10:39

I don’t understand this challenge

Q: How is Shelob's name known?

In Tolkien's world, there are quite a few "magical" beasts that have proper names: dragons for example, like Smaug. One can assume that their names are known either because their creator was still around at that time (and thus could tell their name) or because the creature can speak (like Smaug)....
