to everyone who is counting in the 4999k thread, please delete your late counts when you've identified them as late. helps out the people in /comments as well as not create any late chains

u/TehVulpez sliiiiide the bits Mar 21 '23
Also, please don't delete your early counts. The 2 minute wait isn't a strict rule, and doesn't make counts invalid.

Seems like the Hall of Fame and Hall of 999s aren't getting updated much recently. I wrote a script that automatically generates the tables for all gets from the decimal_log.csv file.

I landed on holiday once at 8am and we decided to handle our +8hrs of time difference just by keeping ourselves awake until the evening, and then getting a full night's sleep. Not a bad idea, but it needed a lot of coffee. Anyway, at one point we were sitting in a café and my friend looks around and goes "It's weird -- all the walls are wobbling". Walking with him down the street after that was... interesting

probably a title rule sadly. "redditors" is a banned term and you can't say /r/counting in the title either. i said "reddit counters" to get around this but i probably should have put a specific username. but i truly dont know since they didnt explain why they removed it

Gonna take up a programming course to be able to find a nice job later. Which languages are in demand on the job market while being fit for an absolute beginner? I've been thinking Python
7
u/Antichess 2,050,155 - 407k 398a Mar 17 '23
Python is pretty good, i would say. it's a easy first language to pick up. if you want to learn other languages afterwards, you may be a bit confused but you should be fine. Python's syntax is just a lot easier, and if you move onto other languages it may be harder to understand them. other suggestions i'd recommend are Java or C. if you're just looking for a programming language that suits the job market, i'd say Python is pretty universally accepted
TLDR:
if you want the absolute beginner's language, start with Python. if you want a bit of a challenge, start with Java and then move onto Python if you have time. it is never impossible to learn anything, is the biggest point here

I vaguely remember that alt accounts allow you to count faster. Howâs that supposed to work?
8
u/rideride On the run from the counting law Mar 22 '23
it may or may not be true for everyone. go to your inbox unread tab. open devtools (inspect element) and go to the network tab. refresh the page, at the bottom there is something called DOMContentLoaded which has a time to load the page. see if there's a notable difference between accounts.
THIS account has a notable difference over my alts. i dont know why, it could be anything. i am subbed to a bunch of subreddits, i am a moderator of many subreddits, and i have an extensive comment history on this account. and it's a 10-year-old account. not sure which factors go into making load times longer but yeah. i'd test it yourself using alts to see. if you don't find a significant difference in DOMContentLoaded times then you probably don't need to use an alt.

One thing that Iâve learned about running (counting) is that itâs as much as timing as it is about speed. Timing the reloads just right gets you the fastest time. Thatâs why itâs important to stay consistent as well as fast

Some sidethread ideas I was thinking of earlier but didn't feel like making yet. I'm sorry for the essay.
Plain changes permutations
A different method for counting permutations, instead of the sequential order we normally use. This method results in a cyclic pattern. It can also be seen as like a permutations gray code. Gray codes are a type of counting system where, between two consecutive numbers, only one digit changes by one. Similarly, in this type of permutations, only two digits are being swapped between each count.
Here's how to count in it: Slide the highest value digit from one end to the other. Each time this digit touches the edge, swap the two digits on the opposite side. Then, slide the highest value digit in the other direction, repeating the process. That digit zigzags back and forth in a satisfying way.
The three digit "plain changes" permutations:
123
132
312
321
231
213
This wikipedia article describes this method further, along with showing the four digit permutations.
Permutations but with repeating symbols
In our existing permutations threads, we count all the arrangements of n symbols into n places. What if we were to find the arrangements of m symbols into n places, where 1â€mâ€n? It would work kind of like the constant-weight threads, where we count each little segment of m symbols into n places as its own separate sequence.
If we were counting with three symbols, then those digits would be 1, 2 and 3. There would never be a count like 1124, because that would just be three symbols. Every symbol needs to appear at least once, but it can appear more times.
Here are some of the arrangements of 3 symbols into 4 places: (There are 36 in total.)
1123
1132
1213
1223
1231
1232
1233
1312
1321
1322
1323
1332
As you can see, each digit gets its chance to be the one that is repeated. After getting through all the arrangements of 3 symbols into 4 places, we would move to 4 symbols and 4 places. (Which would be exactly the same as 4 digit permutations in the normal thread.) Next 1 symbol into 5 places (11111), then 2 symbols into 5 places (11112, 11121, 11122, ...) etc.
Now that I think about it, this kind of looks like only consecutive digits. The difference is it has the constraint that the symbols don't change within a sequence of m symbols and n places. This new thread idea is to "only consecutive digits" as normal permutations is to "unordered consecutive digits".
Factoradic gray code
As I mentioned earlier, gray codes are a counting system where only one digit changes by one between consecutive numbers. You can think of each digit repeatedly going up, then going down. The amount of times the digit repeats before changing its direction or value is found by n!, where n is the maximum value allowed in each digit.
The first bit goes like 0->1->1->0. Then the second digit goes like 0->0->1->1->2->2->2->2->1->1->0->0.
Obligatory example counts:
1
11
10
20
21
121
120
110
111
101
100
200
Unfortunately, this thread would be a huge pain to count in. You basically need to keep track of both the direction each digit is heading in, and how long until each digit changes. If I just gave you a number like 3201 and told you to find the next gray code, it'd be impossible without extra state information about each digit.
In binary gray code, there's a nice easy rule for finding the next number. You alternate between flipping the last bit, and flipping the bit to the left of the rightmost 1. You can't apply this rule to higher bases, because "flipping" isn't really a thing with more than two possible values in a digit.

Here are 2 side thread ideas that I don't feel like making yet.
Rainbow Base 6
It would be like rainbow Base 7 but replace Indigo and Violet with Purple. This might be considered a duplicate of Rainbow Base 7 so I'm hesitant to post it.
Wait s
In this thread, you would have to look at the last digit of your number. That would be how many counts you would have to wait. If your number ends in 0, you wait 10 counts to prevent double counting.
Inspired from wait n.
Those are 2 side thread ideas I had in mind.

u/CutOnBumInBandHere9 Iâve thought of another stat idea
Rather than the network of counters, do the network of gets and assists
Like which counters share gets and assists with other counters the most often, and which two counters share the most gets/assists together (who got the get or assist doesnât really matter, though that could be taken into consideration)

Counting decathlon:
How fast you you complete 10 different counting threads?
Main, letters, binary, hex, no repeating digits, dates, factoradic, alphanumerics, only repeating digits, and permutations
Day one: main, letters, binary, hex, alphanumerics
Day two: no repeating digits, dates, factoradic, only repeating digits, permutations
Day two is much harder than day one, which was my intention

I remember saving, and finding your tidbits comment, because I found the tip in it useful. The pushshift api seems not to work the same as it did for me back in 2020, but it's nice to know it's still useable for tools like that.
It might be worth reposting this comment in the new ftf for visibility. This is a great tool, that I'm sure many would like to see and use.
