Plays exclusively modded minecraft, and some mods add something called "sulfur" so he had to adapt, but no mods add something called "reeds" so he didn't have to adapt around that

I guess the reason I never heard of it being called "sulfur" is because the only Minecraft content I received at the time was from direwolf20

huh

or talks about how he would almost accidentally call it reeds

Never heard of the gunpowder/sulfur or chicken/duck thing, though I 100% believe the reeds thing because I watched a ton of direwolf20 videos where he sometimes called it "reeds"

and you need "Smooth Stone" for a blast furnace, so if your friend doesn't remember the recipe and you ask for 3 smooth stone they'll give you 3... smooth stone ("Stone")

the annoying part there is when mojang added a proper thing called smooth stone

And, more annoyingly, everyone called it "smooth stone"

Weren't they called "reeds"?

@ATaco Just noticed this

(To his credit, pete made more submissions, with pete-7.c being on the order of F_(ω^ω), getting third place)

which doesn't terminate

TL;DR pete.c is while(n<<1 > n){n=n<<1}

pete.c is similar, too

Yeah, it does. The bignum bakeoff golf challenge, the "golf number bigger than Loader's", etc. all variants all make that assumption

Apparantly every sentence in the Calculus of Constructions (what Loader used) can be written in System Fω, but I can't figure out which term in Loader's code is the one that makes a CoC sentence instead of an Fω sentence

@ATaco Yeah, I just kinda wish I could understand Loader's code. Even the readable version on the Googology wiki isn't enough.

Unless I'm missing something about LOOP, of course. It feels like it should be able to break f_omega but I'm not immediately seeing it

but the strongest language on that golf is just an implementation of LOOP, which is weaker than f_omega

Thought I'd be clever and take the answers from "Golf a turing incomplete language" and invoke it for every possible input of length < L

Every time I try to beat the "Beat Loader's Number" golf challenge I only become more impressed with Loader.c (and, fail again)

Man

@Bbrk24 i've never seen this before and it's amazing

xkcd 391 since it auto-embedded

it's not zero width on my screen

zero-width?!

@Adám oh that's interesting I put that chara into my "view non-printable unicode characters" thing and it's invisible in that too

put two of them together, upload it on social media, crash all poorly-designed browsers and apps

if it combines the character before and after it

oh

@Seggan start extracting random bits out of some database by entering text input with that diacritic a million times

@Seggan Is that legal if I'm using multiple functions? I'm doing the "Golf a number bigger than Loader's number" challenge and I highly doubt I can do that in one function

(Maybe I don't need to run a console.log())

I found the "tips for golfing in JavaScript" article: codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/2682/…

For golfing purposes, is there a significant difference between NodeJS/SpiderMonkey/V8/Babel Node?

Dang.

As an unrelated question - and since I can't ask clismique directly - what are the rules for that Minecraft bounty? Namely, the Observer block wasn't added until 1.11, which didn't officially release until a month after that bounty (although I think it existed in snapshot form before the bounty's release)

How do bounties work on dead accounts? I see clismique's bounty on unbounded survival-buildable redstone prime checker but I also see the last activity from @clismique was in 2021 (literally on January 1st, no less)
