Ваша задача - открыть окно браузера браузера по умолчанию на http://codegolf.stackexchange.com .

Ваш код должен открывать сам браузер и не может полагаться на открытый.

Это , поэтому выигрывает самый короткий ответ в байтах.

You should add clarifications/restrictions to the question itself, since comments are not guaranteed to stick around forever.

Your spec is minimal, which led to alot of uncertainty over what is allowed to accomplish the task. Additionally, some probably consider it a trivial task. Still, you're in the positive ;)

 GNU Emacs, 29 27 14 bytes

(eww"ppcg.ga")

EWW is a browser inside Emacs. The browse-web function is an alias for eww, and so that makes eww the default browser in Emacs:

Your job is to open a browser window of the default browser to http://codegolf.stackexchange.com.

Thanks to @CoolestVeto, @Jonathan Leech-Pepin and @zyabin101.


Can you use www.ppcg.lol instead of http://ppcg.lol?
AdmBorkBork

1
@TimmyD No, at first I tried with "www" but the protocol must be supplied (the behavior is different for example with "mailto://"). For user interaction, there is "browse-url-at-point" which prepends "http", but this is longer of course.
coredump

You shouldn't need the //, I don't think. (I don't use emacs, but it's generally accepted without the //)

Oration, 41 bytes

Not winning, but sure was fun. As of right now, I'm only 1 bytee behind python!

I need webbrowser
Now open "http:ppcg.ga"

Explanation:

I need compiles to import $1 with webbrowser being the module.

Now runs the following command from the module as module.command with the arguments of anything following.

So this compiles to:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import webbrowser
webbrowser.open("http:ppcg.ga")

I do end up needing the http: part though, and it can't be shortened.

As the owner of ppcg.lol, I approve of this message.

I'm almost certain that you can replace "http://ppcg.lol" with "http:ppcg.lol". I'm uncertain whether you can remove the space between open and "http:...", but try it?

start www.ppcg.ga

This will open in your default browser if you run it from the windows command line.

I think it'll work in Powershell too, but I'm not sure.

You can use start instead of explorer.
Mego

You can use start www.ppcg.lol instead to implicitly have Windows parse it as HTTP. Works in both CMD and PowerShell.
AdmBorkBork

Why do you need the www.?
Blender

@Blender Because otherwise it tries to find a local program called pccg with the .lol file extension and run it.

While start is a known alias for Start-Process there is another one for saps. You can see this from Get-Alias. It follows the convention for similar Start- and Stop- cmdlets.

open is an OSX utility, not a bash one; this would be more appropriately called "OSX command line".

@Skyler Is this incorrect then? ss64.com/bash/open.html
Mwr247

1
the first line: "Open a file in its default application, using virtual terminal (VT)." If you try to run that on unix, it will tell you "Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console", because it's trying to open in a terminal, not in a browser.

MATLAB, 28 25 bytes

web www.ppcg.lol -browser
  • www is shorter than http:// and ensures that the address is processed as a URL
  • This is shorter using the implicit function call (which casts inputs as strings) rather than the explicit version web('www.ppcg.lol', '-browser').
  • If you are on a OS X, this can be simplified to web ppcg.lol -browser as MATLAB will automatically append an http:// (21 bytes)

Alternatives:

  • On windows this can be shortened to (19 bytes)

    !start www.ppcg.lol
    
  • On OS X (21 bytes)

    !open http://ppcg.lol
    
  • The following would work in a deployed MATLAB application (16 bytes)

    web www.ppcg.lol
    
  • If the built-in browser could be used this could be reduced even further as http is implied (12 bytes)

    web ppcg.lol
    

OS X is redundant because the built-in open command does the same.
noɥʇʎԀʎzɐɹƆ

@CrazyPython That's precisely what ! does in MATLAB, it's the equivalent of system(command). I had it as more of a demonstration of other alternatives that could be executed from within MATLAB. Is that OK?
Suever

Do you need the www.?
Addison Crump

@CoolestVeto Sometimes you do sometimes you do not. When using the external browser you do, however the internal browser you do not. If you do not specify it, no browser window will open. If you can get it to work, I'm more than happy to change it!
Suever

@CoolestVeto So I dug a little more and it looks like the www is unnecessary only on OS X

Shamelessly borrowing that shortened link.

Thanks to CrazyPython for -4 bytes, and Sp3000 for a further one.

Edit: shaved 2 more off thanks to CoolestVeto

Edit: thanks to MD XF for registering ppcg.ga and saving another byte


The former change leaves it exactly the same length. As for the http://, if you leave that out it tries to open a local file called "ppcg.lol", which doesn't exist.

You can also do this with just command line options python -m webbrowser -t http:ppcg.lol which I think counts as 30 chars

class P{public static void main(String[]a)throws Exception{java.awt.Desktop.getDesktop().browse(new java.net.URI("http://ppcg.lol"));}}

Java is not the best language for golfing... Here's the same program in a more readable format:

    public static void main (String[] a) throws Exception {
        java.awt.Desktop.getDesktop().browse(new java.net.URI("http:ppcg.ga"));
    }

Saved 2 bytes by removing // in the URI/L, and another byte by switching to .ga from .lol (indirectly thanks to @Milo)

@Mego I could do that, but then it would be Java 8. This is a Java 7 answer. But thanks for the tip!

code-golf specifies that functions are sufficient, you do not have to write a full program. So void f(){ .... } would be enough.

You can remove the //.
Addison Crump

Isn't it supposed to be java.net?
Ryan

cant you replace interface with class?
MCMastery

@MCMastery Yes. However, with an interface, you can save 3 bytes because even though interface is longer than class, you save more bytes because the public modifier is implied.

@cat actually, I've never been called out on this before - I've always operated on the assumption that bytes is the default for codegolf (and is even explicitly specified in this question), so explicitly respecifying in answers is just redundant information. Do you know of a meta post about this?
Digital Trauma

Well, first and foremost, my comment was messing around -- I only changed it for consistency with all the other answers, and it's really insignificant but it bothered me. I'm pretty sure there's no meta post on formatting specifically, and that this format came from the Leaderboard Stack Snippets, but I'm almost certain there's a meta post for Defaults for Scoring Code Golf that says it's bytes unless otherwise specified.

@cat Yep, I don't think its a big deal either way - I'm certainly not planning on rolling back your edit :). Scoring by bytes by default is in the code-golf tag wiki

VBScript, 57 bytes

I used to have lots of fun creating tiny programs in VBScript, back in 2010.

I've remembered this language and used the code on: https://stackoverflow.com/a/13401872/2729937

It still works on Windows 7, at least.

set S=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
S.run("www.ppcg.ga")

This is a bit different from the usual start www.ppcg.lol, in the sense that it executes the www.ppcg.ga directly, with an implicit start.

An alternative way would be "cmd.exe /C start www.ppcg.ga".
