@TheEmptyStringPhotographer Why not?
Jul 6, 2024 07:32
@mousetail Does the main site allow asking a list of small specific questions in a single question?
Jul 6, 2024 07:32
@mousetail This is a very sad thing.
Jul 6, 2024 06:38
I did
Jul 6, 2024 06:35
to get a lot more familiar with the lang I probably need to ask >>377 questions
Jul 6, 2024 06:35
I get a little bit more familiar with the lang by asking one question
Jul 6, 2024 06:35
@mousetail Like I said,

Isn't there a way to add a space before the first 3 elements in a list and add a space after the other elements in GolfScript?
Jul 6, 2024 06:33
I asked one of the specific questions arising from the above answer, and got no response, anyway
Jul 6, 2024 06:32
@mousetail It will be many specific questions (which comes as both annoying and likely no answers) or one broad question
Jul 6, 2024 06:29
The point I'm trying to make: How to golf the answers mentioned here chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/65913211#65913211 , or even, where is the people I could ask help for
Jul 6, 2024 06:27
well that's not the point I'm trying to make anyway
Jul 6, 2024 06:23
and such questions usually also become silent
Jul 6, 2024 06:22
> The number of tips questions 377

(While reading through the questions, I noticed that such questions exists for Acc!! and Emmental, as well as other languages that aren't usually used to golf lol)
Jul 6, 2024 06:20
@mousetail I know and I have asked such a question a while ago
Jul 6, 2024 06:19
so I think not many people accept this usage of the main site
Jul 6, 2024 06:19
and the vast majority of them is Tips for golfing in xxx
Jul 6, 2024 06:19
* is 377
Jul 6, 2024 06:19
The number of tips questions 377
Jul 6, 2024 06:17
unless it's in apl or vyxal or something that have a specific chatroom
Jul 6, 2024 06:17
but in chat no one will answer them
Jul 6, 2024 06:16
Stuff like this imo belong to the chatroom more than the site
Jul 6, 2024 06:16
@mousetail Issues like these pop up frequently, especially when you are not familiar with a language
Jul 6, 2024 06:15
(& the last time I visited here there's an ongoing discussion on meta about banning tips questions. idk how it ended but i can tell here that some people are annoyed about tip questions)
Jul 6, 2024 06:14
Posting the same thing in two places can be considered annoying behaviour, i think
Jul 6, 2024 06:13
@mousetail Indeed, but does that work for looking for golf tips for existing answers?
Jul 6, 2024 06:13
(except me who is directly looking for !@#$%^&*()_+ answers at that time)
Jul 6, 2024 06:12
but the person who post it will never know because no one will notice that answer
Jul 6, 2024 06:12
is not golfed
Jul 6, 2024 06:12

A: Print a Tabula Recta!

Fmbalbuena!@#$%^&*()_+, 381 51 48 44 bytes Z(_^_%!_^_$($%$)$%%)+(%(!@%)+$% _+% @_^_) Try it online! I'm pretty bad at golfing codes. if you know something, please tell me in comments.

Jul 6, 2024 06:12
for example something like this
Jul 6, 2024 06:11
in order to improve
Jul 6, 2024 06:11
Sometimes you just need someone who is familiar to the language to give you some tips
Jul 6, 2024 06:10
Without interaction, one can't get better at golfing anyway
Jul 6, 2024 06:08
Binary slashes display is third newest challenge at the time of my answer
Jul 6, 2024 06:07
it doesn't
Jul 6, 2024 06:07
"Segments of a string, doubling in length" is the third newest challenge here (and as the time of my answer, the newest)
Jul 6, 2024 06:06
But that kind of interaction does not exist most of the time afaik
Jul 6, 2024 06:06
Maybe compete with someone else, or get some golfing tips
Jul 6, 2024 06:05
Usually, when someone post something on a site, they are looking for some interaction with other people
Jul 6, 2024 06:05
*necessarily mean
Jul 6, 2024 06:05
but golfing a challenge does not mean posting that as an answer
Jul 6, 2024 06:04
@mousetail Indeed
Jul 6, 2024 06:02
@mousetail Then it's probably necessary to rethink why this site exists, at all
Jul 6, 2024 06:01
I think out of the last 10 times I asked a question in this chatroom, the number of times I get a reply before someone bring up another (likely unanswered, again) topic here is like 1
Jul 6, 2024 05:59
that's not the case I'm observing anyway
Jul 6, 2024 05:59
@RubenVerg oh, so this chatroom is more active than the site?
Jul 6, 2024 05:59
(Also probably "missing interesting answer" is not a thing for someone who is active on this site every 2 years or sth anyway)
Jul 6, 2024 05:57
Well true
Jul 6, 2024 05:57
especially for stuff like Hello World
