I thought the 13-year-old rule only applies in usa?

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

What rule?

Jon Ericson

Child Online Protection Act

The Child Online Protection Act (COPA) was a law in the United States of America, passed in 1998 with the declared purpose of restricting access by minors to any material defined as harmful to such minors on the Internet. The law, however, never took effect, as three separate rounds of litigation led to a permanent injunction against the law in 2009. The law was part of a series of efforts by US lawmakers legislating over Internet pornography. Parts of the earlier and much broader Communications Decency Act had been struck down as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1997 (Reno v. ACLU); COPA...

@LeakyNun It's a US law, but we don't make any distinction about where the user if from.

Because SE is US-based?

Jon Ericson

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ I'm not really sure. It's in our terms of service that users be 13 or older, though.

> Never took effect

Isn't it this one?

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) is a United States federal law, located at 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506 (Pub.L. 105–277, 112 Stat. 2681-728, enacted October 21, 1998). The act, effective April 21, 2000, applies to the online collection of personal information by persons or entities under U.S. jurisdiction from children under 13 years of age. It details what a website operator must include in a privacy policy, when and how to seek verifiable consent from a parent or guardian, and what responsibilities an operator has to protect children's privacy and safety online including...

@MarsUltor Oh. Right. It's two Ps not one.

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

@JonEricson I'm curious, what exactly does it mean to be a community manager?

Jon Ericson

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ Apparently I hang out on chat over the weekend. ;-)

So it's like being paid to be a moderator but on every single site at the same time?

Mars Ultor

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ Not exactly a moderator

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

I said like being a moderator.

Mars Ultor

IDK if they do mod duty (i.e. close etc)

I usually see them in meta.SE though

I think they mainly handle bug reports/feature requests etc? (basically stuff that applies to the entire community)

Also apparently handle really new sites and Area 51

Jon Ericson

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ More like the people moderators go to when they need help. I try to stay out of moderators way and let them do their thing.

@LeakyNun Looks like we had pretty much the same idea. I didn't see your Jelly answer before I edited mine.

@Dennis Well, congrats anyway

At what point does it cease to be a mini-challenge?

Sp3000

Maybe it's just me, but isn't this a little excessive?

Helka Homba

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ I was literally about to make that exact point >:P

@Dennis Look, it isn't tacit

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

@Sp3000 Well, in the context of a site about programming "evaluated" isn't that uncommon of a word. Do this instead: chat.stackexchange.com/…

Dennis

@LeakyNun I'm not following.

Sure, I just picked the first word that came to mind :P

(actually surprised by the lack of other posts with that word though, tbh)

Leaky Nun

other leaderboards just don't write that word

Sp3000

@LeakyNun Other way around?

Dennis

@LeakyNun Works as intended. 2!!! is 2.

@LeakyNun You didn't want to be "Annul Key"?

Fair enough

Dennis

@LeakyNun I really don't think you should post that leaderboard all the time. Maybe host it elsewhere and post a link?

Leaky Nun

@HelkaHomba Nope

@Dennis Try to write it in golfscript

@Sp3000 I just realized your name has some nice anagrams. Will you become "Phosphorescent Dual Teat I"?

Dennis

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ See above

@Dennis updated

Sp3000

@HelkaHomba Nope, too confusing :P

Helka Homba

6:26 AM

@Sp3000 Your heir would be Phosphorescent Dual Teat II

Leaky Nun

@HelkaHomba Hi @BanishCobLives

(unscrambling an anagram is an O(n!) task)

or O(n! * 2^n) if you count the spaces

@LeakyNun that's a nice one

Q: Chaining Words Together

Given two words and a list as input, your program must (in as few characters as possible, of course) find the shortest way to "chain" the first word to the last using the ones in the list. Two words are "chained" if their first and last letters are the same, e.g. "Food" and "Door". Examples: Inp...
