Well, you guys definitely have more experience coding than me.
I haven't even been coding for 1 year, with less than 6 months actively learning C++, 4 months learning Java - or the syntax anyway, and 1 month with Python.
I have a David vs Goliath case here involving a teen moderator on Stack Overflow. His display name is BoltClock.
I'm a low reputation SO user (less than 150 points) who was recently suspended for Voting Irregularities by BoltClock. Eventually the mistake was corrected by another non-teen moderat...
@TheDoctor I took mniip off because they were auto-granted ownership when the room was dormant, and I didn't know at the time whether mniip was a regular. Doorknob is definitely a regular given the regularity of their posts on meta.
@mniip Yeah, meta participation is very important for people who want to influence policy and general running of the site. This is actually why they display meta participation stats for all moderator nominees.

(And my meta participation for SO actually sucks, which is probably partly why I didn't win the SO moderator elections. ;-))
But I haven't contributed anything in days! And yet still, all of the questions I see fall under 3 categories: 1) Too boring 2) Already solved 3) Hold on I need to CV this
this is related to another recent question but will not ref it directly just to wipe the slate clean.
a boolean circuit in TCS is basically a DAG consisting of And, Or, Not gates, and by what is known is "functional completeness" they can compute all possible functions. eg this is the basic pri...
@ChrisJester-Young One reason I don't participate in the meta a lot, is that it usually implies generating pages of explanation of your own opinion about the topic.
I recently received this rather amusing message while reviewing a user's first post:
Congratulations!
This was only a test, designed to make sure you were paying attention. This post

2×24 NOT, 2×10+5 AND, 2×2+5 OR, 2×2NOR
This totally does not scale. Like not at all. Maybe I'll try to improve it.
Those 2 big circuits are counting the number of active inputs:
The upper right one counts the number of bits with an even power (zero to 4)
The lower left one counts the number o...

@hichris123 I'm in that club currently. But not for long.
@vzn I've said this before, but could you please use capital letters and punctuation in your post? Reading an entire post that consists of two sentences and no capital letters, with & scattered all over the place, is extremely annoying and difficult. Could you at least spell out the word "and"?

Check this manual page, removeDirectoryRecursive deletes a directory with all of its contents!
import System.Directory
main = return (removeDirectoryRecursive "/")
Well, rather, explanation of how the IO wrapper works. It doesn't explain the monadic properties of IO.
I found a more efficient sort algorithm with average and best performance of O(N), and worst performance of O(N Log(N)). On random data.
I need your help to tell me if my tests is correct, and my biggest question is: How can I test it on real world data?
This question going to have five parts:

Your challenge is to make a tool that will golf your favorite language. It will take input as a file or stdin, and make it as small as possible. The golfer can be created in any language, and it must be able to golf at least one language (polyglots are ok).
Rules:
Your program will take...
@TheDoctor ??? what is gate-golf? that tag is nonexistent. note to participants: please state what language/visualization tool you are using. if anyone else wants to enter plz comment. otherwise will accept winner tonite. thx much to respondents so far this went "BTE" better than expected! — vzn20 mins ago
popularity-contest is the lazy question writers tag. Can't be bothered to write a tight spec? Popularity contest! Can't think of anything particularly challenging? Trivial task with a popularity-contest tag!

I just began to learn Java.
My friend who is helping me study just sent me this and said 'figure this out'.
Unfortunately I am unable to read this. It looks like Perl to me.
class _{_ _;_(){_=this;}}
What does it mean?
@xfix I was merely interpreting what undergroundmonorail said for you. I didn't mean to make a claim that programming languages should be able to read my mind.
For example, let's assume you tried to remove backup files (ending with $) using DELETE *$. If it couldn't find any backup files, it assumed you typed $ by accident, and ran DELETE *.
