A rarer occurrence is when a pattern is formed with the amount of characters in the English representation of text contains a valid pumpkin. The cosmic number!

Like half of this is from my answer to the "Move the Sandbox to Main" question. :P
@AlexA. I was really embarassed that I couldn't remember how to do multiline selection and indenting in vim. It was very flustering.
I did manage an implementation based on hard coded configuration that would rotate a given list of files a certain number of times on a daily or minutely basis
they gave me a VM to do python development in, without vim (or emacs), without python installed!
without working mouse-in-terminal support, so everything was keyboard based
they had done the set-your-own-challenge thing before, but this might have been the first time they gave someone a fresh bare OS vm instance to start with
I mean, I didn't have to write the program in python, or do the editing in vim
but unless I wanted to edit in vi[not-m] and code in bash/sh/perl, I had to install an editor and an interpreter
not even sure perl was installed...
but yeah, asking me to develop without a mouse, installing my own packages on the fly... seemed crazy. I hope it was a test.
I mean, I can edit without a mouse... but not ALSO without memorized shortcuts for selection, copy/paste, indenting, etc
But with vim/i3wm/cvim/pentadactyl/tmux/zsh/etc., I can basically do everything I need to do on my computer without ever touching a mouse. Highly recommend (if you have lots of free time to overcome the learning cliff :P)
@Sparr You mean tmux? I don't use tmux's server stuff. I haven't touched anything on a server via tmux for... a long time. All I use it for is the multiplexing stuff.
Can I define a language right now called Python++ that is the same as Python (2.7 or 3) but every program starts with the equivalent of "include *" for the default python distribution of modules?
I don't want to use CJam or Pyth. I do actually want to learn at least one of those languages for golfing purposes, but that's unrelated.
I remember on codegolf.com, when it was up, that between perl, python, ruby, and whatever their fourth language was, there was often intense competition between languages for the top spot
on PPCG, 99% of the time the winner is one of the four(ish) stupidly dense languages
@Sparr Writing your own golfing language is possible without them simply being trivial substitutions. You can write an interpreter that first "compiles" things to <your language> and then runs them.
Is "Pyth" meant to be a pun on "pith" (as well as "Python" of course)? As in only the pithiest parts of the program are kept. I shoulda realized that by now. (@isaacg)
When you hammer a set of nails into a wooden board and wrap a rubber band around them, you get a Convex Hull.

Okay, what's going on in the image is that a typical Fibonacci tree is being drawn, but the endpoints are rearranged to be evenly spaced around a circle.
