Heh.

Any ideas for a puzzle titled "The Nth byte"?

Or similar titles, I mean.

Cycle the nth byte n times maybe? Probably too trivial

@Quill I expected nothing less from a plebian SO mod

print some amount of bytes, with the nineteenth being special?

I was thinking this. I need "special" to be really special, as in, non-trivial.

well, jeez, think up your special challenge yourself

Also I meant to write every nineteenth

@quartata I'd like to imagine that they don't know the scope very well, but then again, learning a set of five or six rules is pretty hard, I mean christ, I nearly posted cat memes as an answer the other day

glad I dodged a bullet with that one

hahahahaha

you just got mob'd

@ConorO'Brien idk whether to "yeah" or "..."

is this challenge idea shameful?

probably best not to mob them, it would be ideal for someone to ping a PPCG mod and ask, but hey, that requires effort

@ColdGolf idea: cycle every nth byte n times

@Quill to be fair the code reviews have a bot to find CR mentions on SO to mob them

(pls excuse my cr bot ignorance)

We don't mob them, it's usually only one person that replies and we use a stock generated comment

12221 rep!

I'm done with the awesome challenge, I need a title for it.

what is the challenge?

The challenge is like, input is a,b,4 and output is like, aaab, "a" repeated 3 times and the fourth character should be "b"

Same thing for like, e,f,6, output is eeeeef

I need a good title.

IMO that challenge seems rather trivial in would be a duplicate of any existing string repetition challenge

Any ideas on how to change it?

come up with a different, less trivial challenge :)

What about having to double the output?

@ColdGolf 05AB1E, 3 bytes: צ«

?

@ColdGolf that's what a submission to your challenge woudl look like

@El'endiaStarman Welp, that was an hour I'll not get back. >_<

@mınxomaτ whats minimum consent age in the US?

@El'endiaStarman Why did you even link to TVTropes

is it the same as for sex? :P

I set the barrier at 21 internationally to be safe.

@Maltysen 18 IIRC >_>

@Downgoat no that's for sex

@Maltysen ....uhh, gonna need context for this. <_<

unfortunately, I probably won't be getting any soon, so that's not what I'm worried about

its about minxomat's podcast thing

@Maltysen I'm not sure why you'd need to worry about age of consent for that, though.

In the US at least a contract with a minor is usually completely fine, but they can retroactively revoke that. So parental consent is required for a contract to be binding.

@El'endiaStarman as I said, not the sex one, the legal one

@Maltysen Yes, I get that.

@El'endiaStarman so he can publish it

@mınxomaτ Wait, you're making people "sign" contracts to be on your podcast?

Release form.

Ahhh, that makes sense, actually. I've signed or had signed a bunch of those in the past.

Defines the scope of my rights but also limits my liability.

It's not a terribly complex matter legally. But a necessity nonetheless.

Ah, now I'm pissed again that PoI was de-facto "cancelled".

off now, bb

Damn my challenge is too trivial, @Cyoce claims.

@ConorO'Brien, sorry.

for what?

Yo, @El'endiaStarman your site's down (halfway). (sometimes) a 502 gateway error appears. @ Spacewar

Slow load too

Hrm. Is it random-ish?

@El'endiaStarman yep

Huh, it loaded instantly for me. I guess I'll just mash F5...

Happened once, but slower connection

@ConorO'Brien I need a non-trivial challenge similar to my idea.

to the logs!

@ColdGolf sorry, you must insert a quarter for the challenge-producing machine to work

@El'endiaStarman don't forget to disable cache
