That’s why I’m against code golfing, rots the brain!
That’s why I love it, nothing to lose
But this one got on my nervers now, good night everyone!
I was trying to submit to program for the prime number challenge, but I
can’t make it work because I don’t understand how does this website do
the
input to the submitted programs.
I mean that when I use ARGV or $*, it seems these variables are empty
(just
submitting a test program that does a “pp ARGV” outputs an empty array).
Is there anyone who knows how can I get the input for this website ?

This is really bugging me. Someone posted a golf challenge to write a
smallest FizzBuzz program here:anarchy golf - FizzBuzz (although the site was down when I
checked it a few minutes ago)
I submitted the resulting program to the site (which is back up now)
under ‘comp.lang.ruby’ since multiple people contributed. Comes in at 57
bytes - only 1 byte longer than the best. So apparently the site does
count the EOF byte.
1.upto(?d){|i|i%3<1&&x=:Fizz;puts i%5<1?“#{x}Buzz”:x||i}
http://golf.shinh.org/p.rb?FizzBuzz
Interestingly, the following Ruby program (with a little help from sed
that my friend passed along) comes in at exactly 56 bytes, but the test
site rightfully failed it due to the attempt to shell the command:
puts seq 100|sed -e'5~5s/.*/Buzz/;3~3s/^[0-9]*/Fizz/'

Did you try to read from $stdin? I know that is kind of stupid to ask,
but sometimes we do not see what is hidden in front of our eyes

I guess I lack some cultural reference to understand this
I was just talking about Trolls as in Tollkien et al…
Mick J. is the lead singer of the Rolling Stones.
Robert my friend you must be either very old or very young (more likely)

Actually, in this context, I think “Jenda” is being intentionally
ironic. That’s a jab at people who complain about Perl being unreadable
and suitable only for golf and obfu.

Actually I am quite old (not as old as the Stones but almost), but
incredibly stupid, I just did not get the pun!!!
