@NewPosts I downvoted but if position is also required to output then it seems not bad

So how do bounties work exactly? I've been thinking of putting one up

lyxal

You click the words "start a bounty", select an amount of rep to give, select a bounty type (only impacts the title of the notice), enter a message, click bounty, wait a minimum of 48 hours and then click a + x next to the answer you want to give rep to.

Where x is however much you spent

Bbrk24

What are the spend options?

lyxal

Rep is deducted immediately after submitting the bounty

@Bbrk24 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500

Bbrk24

got it

lyxal

Could be some multiples of 50 in that range too

7 days to award it manually

After that, it gets automatically given to highest scoring (i think)

Bounty message can't be edited after posting (not by you at least. It can allegedly be edited by a moderator not sure on that)

So make sure you get the amount and message right unless you want to ping hyper or caird or joking or wheat wizard

You get a notification 3 days before expiration to remind you to award the bounty

More info can be found here: codegolf.stackexchange.com/help/bounty

That's what it'll look like when it's ready to be awarded

It'll be gray for the first 48 hours though to indicate its not ready

Which is probably to avoid rep laundering

Or at least, make it less untraceable

Q: Clone GNU cat 8.32

Write a program that precisely clones GNU cat version 8.32, which is installed on my computer. In any case, if called with the same arguments, same stdin, and same files, your program's output to both stdout and stderr must by byte-for-byte identical to that of GNU cat, and the exit code must be ...

Found this in r/memes

Didn't believe it

I do now

Thanks Microsoft

Bbrk24

what the heck

lyxal

There's also options for word, PowerPoint, Outlook, one note and probably a few other apps

But that's not as nearly as bruh moment as opening LinkedIn

Bbrk24

those are all microsoft products that you probably have installed anyways

but linkedin? which doesn't even have a desktop app?

lyxal

That's why I said not as nearly as bruh moment

Like installed apps i get, but LinkedIn?

And sure Microsoft owns LinkedIn so it's technically a Microsoft product

But it's so oddly specific

Bbrk24

3:12 AM

I was able to guess Outlook, PowerPoint, Excel, and Word. What's OneNote, N?

lyxal

I think so

Bbrk24

yep lol

lyxal

At least that's what I saw in the reddit comment saying that there's more

Bbrk24

(O P X W for the first four, if it wasn't obvious)

Fun fact: while writing an answer and editing a list with multiple indents, shift-enter flattens the list to all be the same indent level

lyxal

That sounds like fun

Writing a trilangle deadlineless bounty, specifying the conditions and accidentally messing up the formatting?

Bbrk24

3:24 AM

yep

thankfully Ctrl-Z still worked

@lyxal This was the main reason I was asking, to see the list of options

lyxal

I figured it out because of the list with multi-level indent part :p

Bbrk24

I'm doing 200-400 based on certain criteria, and at the end I say

> If an answer takes the baseline +200 but not the additional +100 bonus(es), I will award an individual +100 to an answer that meets both the baseline criteria and the unclaimed bonus.

Is that clear enough?

...I'll take the lack of response as a yes

Up to 400 rep for beating me at meta-cat

emanresu A

Maybe best to just separate them - "I'll award 200 rep for the first answer to do <xxx>, and I'll also award 100 rep for the first answer to do <xxx> and <yyy>"

lyxal

3:43 AM

@Bbrk24 that lack of response was called "dealing with the heat because it's summer and simply just too hot" :p

Bbrk24

it fucken dember

lyxal

Yeah

Summer

Southern hemisphere

Upside down country

42° Celsius

emanresu A

200 reputation for golfing in Vyxal 3 Note that this is separate and distinct from the other Vyxal deadlineless bounty. Hi so Vyxal 3 exists and it's brand new and doesn't have very many answers at all. I think that needs to change, because it's a very cool language and y'all'll like it. In fact,...

It'll show up in a few minutes. maybe. Remember back when we didn't have NP/SP?

Bbrk24

Looks like that one took 15 minutes

Stars, like votes, like to be locked in :p

Bbrk24

lyxal

probably to avoid revenge voting, etc

@Bbrk24 Generally speaking, if the answer hasn't changed, why would your vote?

Obviously, it's always possible to make a mistake and accidentally up/downvote a post, but that's why there's a 5 minute grace period

lyxal

Sometimes you don't notice the mistake until the next day when you see a +9 rep

Q: Construct the Constructability sequence
