Earlier quoted context omitted.

What language is this?

Haskell. Here's another way to do it in the same language, using function composition and point-free style. map (chr . (+32)) [45, 69, 82, 82, 89, 0, 35, 72, 89, 73, 83, 84, 77, 65, 83, 1]

Or in Perl:

  map{chr$_+32}(45,69,82,82,89,0,35,72,82,73,83,84,77,65,83,1)

shorter using pack:

  # shorts
  pack("s*",25933,29298,8313,26691,26994,29811,24941,8563)
  # longs
  pack("l*",1920099661,1749229689,1953720690,561209709)
  # 64-bit
  pack("q*",7512884309367350605,2410377348306397554)
  # hex
  pack("h*",d45627279702348627963747d6163712)

One of the few places left where comments are worth reading. Thank you, all, and Happy "whatever makes you happy". :-)

The thing I dislike most about the holidays is the erosion of intellectual discussion and infectious somatization even on its few remaining bastions like HN. Oh, Huxley.

To me HackerNews has had the wrong name for a while now. To me hacking was always the underground playground - more about critical thinking and circumvention and raw engineering rather than the mainstream academia and VC scene which is HN.

But hey - I still love this place, Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, everyone. I tend to lurk a lot, but this is one of the few programming communities where I don't expect to be met with negativity and condescension every time I post something. And beyond that, just reading everyone's discussions has easily helped shape me into the person I am today. Thanks for the past few years and many more to come!
