So, king-of-the-hill is unique in that some people cannot test any of the submissions given, as they need to have all of the environments installed that users submit.
We should make a place to become an "official" tester for KOTH challenges. To be a tester, one should be able to run a certain li...
I have jobsearch.monster.com/search open in another tab. I'm searching for languages within a state. The 5 with the most hits should be the most popular
I was thinking about including base IO templates for another couple languages, but I'm not sure if it's worth it at this point. I've put quite a bit of work into this already with not much of a reaction.
I read an article about how the DotP client works and basically the entire thing was "We simplified the rules significantly so that writing it would be only sort of impossible. And then we cut corners."
@undergroundmonorail The client doesn't have to be too complicated. What's really hideous to contemplate is writing an M:tG server. I've read the CompRules, and I would not want to have to implement them in code.
I need 14 more favorites for trip gold. More importantly, I am engineering the greatest tumbleweed that ever lived.
It must be sufficiently complex that everyone can almost understand it, yet sufficiently clear that nobody has a question about it. It must be sufficiently boring that nobody upvotes it, yet sufficiently interesting that nobody downvotes.
It must be released on a Friday when DoorKnobChatBot is inactive, because we appear to get more challenges on Friday
Are all flags on answers generated by humans, or are some flags auto generated? I see one that was flagged because of its "length and content."
Also, what is the policy for reviewers that don't know the language. For example, something looks like a valid Code Golf answer, but I don't know if it actually works. Just skip it, or say "Looks good to me."?
Personally I hit accept if everything else looks good. "It doesn't actually work" is a problem with the code, not the answer, and my job is to judge the answer. (imo, of course)
I have read [this](meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/1452/) and this meta posts, but I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what to do.
Well, you have two options. You can put your idea in the sandbox, or you can summarize it here and I will tell you if I think it is good or bad. Both are pretty safe options.
For mine, each entry has a folder that contains the actual program, as well as a file called run. run is a bash script that runs the executable however it needs to be run. When my program needs to make their program do something, it runs run.
...I kind of want to do something really gross in my code. It technically would fix my problem but it would be pretty much the worst way possible.
I want to have a function do something to an instance of a class if it's given as an argument, or do it to every instance of the class if it's given a list of them.
Is it possible to have overloaded functions in Python? In C# I would do something like
void myfunction (int first, string second)
{
//some code
}
void myfunction (int first, string second , float third)
{
//some different code
}
// This maybe a little off, I haven't coded C# in a couple years
...
