I see. My reason was to get in touch, we used to collaborate on sed answers, but I took a long break. I guess I'll check his profile from time to time for activity.

thanks. Well, here goes: @Riley are you still active on CG&CC? :D

Can I ping someone that isn't currently in the chat and will the person see it?

my first sed answer coming back codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/255440/59010 :)

hi, long time

giving credit is the easy part

the sharing back is hard, I want to sell the game on Steam

hmm, seems complicated, back to making my own. Although programming-related SE sites have all the serious and non-serious tasks under the sun :))

thanks

by here I mean the codegolf.SE

I'm making a programming game. Can I use some of the questions asked here, or parts of them, as tasks for my levels? I won't use the answers.

hi, long time

it is, I double checked the edge cases. Ok, you're right.

hi, quick question: if I add a comment to my own solution, or edit it, will the person that initially downvoted see that/get notified? I don't mind a downvote once in a while, but it is sad I don't have any feedback as to why, since the submission is correct.

@user41805 soo, I'm confused..do I still get the bounty?

@user41805 Here is my submission for the FizzBuzz sed bounty: codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/218716/59010

@user41805 Based on that 2nd link, are you telling me there's a 99 byte solution? Or even a 30 byte solution???? If so, then I definitely have to find one below 100 bytes. But for the rep, 126 is enough.

It was a dirty trick, the result is still the same code, so I don't want to post it as a new answer. If I send it to you here or as a comment to your original answer, can you send me directly the rep?

@user41805 ok, done. I got your sed answer to that FizzBuzz challenge reduced by 3 bytes.

@user41805 interesting. I love that you also post answers in sed. That is my fav esoteric language out of all.

@user202729 I agree. I already found a shorter 3 char version with 1ZP. My intuition tells me there are other 3 char dc solutions out there, much shorter than 3.6Kb.

I guess you can split your code into multiple such 16 Tb files, but then the OS needs to give to dc probably 122*2 Tb (source and stack). Surely no current PC can do that.

Well I googled and on Windows you can't have files larger than 16 Tb I think it was.

@user202729 your dc answer can't run on any architecture, because of the RAM first of all, then the limitation to the maximum file size. Still, I liked your answer.

my python is rusty at best, so just post your answer and then mine, using 2 chars, then see, unless we think of the same thing

@Razetime hey

using z and P, to make it drastically shorter than terrabytes

wait, I have another idea :D

hmm, how do you decrease the number after some succession of z?

@user41805 nice one!

Well currently there is only one 3 char dc answer, so I can relax for the moment :)

wait, but wasn't your bounty specifically to the best dc answer?

There are a few operators in dc that work with a single number, but besides Z, perhaps v (square root) can be used, but I highly doubt it one can be that lucky. (as explained above).

@user202729 Yes, that's how 3 char solutions will work exactly. With Z though, no error is given.

hey, thank you, nice to be back.

@user41805 In fact I suspect there are multiple 3 char solutions possible, besides the trivial ones of replacing 1 in my answer with any digit from 1 to 9. For example, one can use multiple v operations to do successive square roots from an incredibly large unary number until you get to the ASCII code.

@user41805 your bounty brought me back to make new bash, sed and dc answers and I was shocked no one thought of the trivial dc answer to that question. I posted it at codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/218683/59010

@StéphaneChazelas You also know a lot of sed. Do you mind if I ask you to spot the mistake in my answer unix.stackexchange.com/a/524003/226955

what I meant was to keep the link to this chat and remove those 3 comments, which only in my opinion detracted from the conversation on your solution.

I'm a bit young to remember the IRC and usenet :D Though I caught them, it was only for 2 years and never used them, since better alternatives already existed at that time.

ok

@StéphaneChazelas should we delete the last 3 or 4 comments from your awk answer? They talk about sed, so they're not relevant.

it's not relevant to your awk script

@StéphaneChazelas Thank you for the good discussion, I'll try to remember some points here. Should we delete the last 4 comments from your submission? (starting with @seshoumara, GNU sed can do it with \L as you...)

Until now I was living only in the GNU Linux world, a few days ago for the first time I had to run a sed script using the busybox version, it didn't run, because I use GNU extensions all the time, I got so much used to them. That's why I don't know what is working on a version and what is not, what is portable (posix I assume) and what is not.

I know you can't have anything after i,c,a,r,w,e; but in GNU sed at least you can continue after :;b,t,} and no ; is needed before }. I hate all these different implementations.

And I thought I'm pretty good in bash and especially in sed :))

so many differences, how do you remember all this stuff, all the exceptions per shell, posix or not, etc.?

and in sed posix you need all those -e's? I'm used to doing it like sed ':loop;$!{N;bloop};...'

echo|sed -n 's:^:printf "a\n\n":e;l'
