Oct 13, 2020 at 10:55 comment added pxeger @Lyxal my reasoning for not doing that was because I suspect most answers will be quite a lot longer in order to make sure they're irreducible, it would complicate things, and IMO it doesn't really matter if they're that length

clarify wording RE extra characters
Oct 12, 2020 at 19:03 comment added Adám Ah, I see. Maybe clarify that you mean both non-[printable-ASCII] and [non-printable]-ASCII.
Oct 12, 2020 at 19:01 comment added pxeger @Adám yes, in the post it says "Your program, and its output, can contain any additional non-printable-ASCII bytes (bytes, not characters) if you like, such as newlines". "non-printable-ASCII" includes "non-ASCII"
Oct 12, 2020 at 19:00 comment added Adám Can my program contain additional non-ASCII bytes?

clarify irreducibility, remove kolmogorov-complexity tag
Oct 12, 2020 at 18:48 comment added hyperneutrino Mod Actually, yes it seems you're right, I was probably thinking of some other common criteria that isn't valid. Otherwise challenge looks good, doesn't seem to be a duplicate. I would say this isn't kolmogorov complexity since it's not constant but it is restricted source albeit not in the common usage.
Oct 12, 2020 at 18:39 comment added pxeger What do you mean by "observable"? "irreducible" simply means you can't purely remove characters (not purely substrings) from the program and have it still work (not merely not error). That's pretty objective, is it not?
Oct 12, 2020 at 18:31 comment added hyperneutrino Mod "Irreducible" isn't really an observable requirement; I'd recommend looking into using pristine-programming to make it an objective criterion.
