Tacit programming, also called point-free style, is a programming paradigm in which function definitions do not identify the arguments (or "points") on which they operate. Instead the definitions merely compose other functions, among which are combinators that manipulate the arguments. Tacit programming is of theoretical interest, because the strict use of composition results in programs that are well adapted for equational reasoning. It is also the natural style of certain programming languages, including APL and its derivatives, and concatenative languages such as Forth. Despite this base, the...
Comedy of exceptions
Your goal is to demonstrate the shortest program or function that can throw 10 different types of errors/exceptions (I use the two interchangeably here) at runtime.
This question is only open to languages which have an object-oriented type system for errors. Furthermore, in...
I am working with a outlook add-in for HTML content email in C#, I need to set the caret position inside a div to allow user to type when clicking new mail.
Is there any option using GetInspector.WordEditor to set the cursor position to star typing the email content
Adjacent Letter Test
One aspect of password strength testing is runs of adjacent letters on the keyboard. In this challenge, a program must be created that returns true if a string contains any runs of adjacent letters.
What counts as a run of adjacent letters?
For this simplified version of a...
Background
You are bored in class, and having exhausted all the possible things to write on a standard calculator (Like 8008135) you turn to the periodic table. You want to figure out if you can write your message using the shorthand for chemical elements.
The Challenge
Input: A sentence, o...

GET Parameters
With PHP, GET parameters may be specified as command-line arguments, which is a valid form of input by our rules. However, they must be passed in the form argname=value on the command line, because register_globals is off by default, and we assume a default configuration. After an...
In events entirely unrelated to what will hopefully happen to me in the next couple of days, I task you to write code that does the following:
Print
Legen... wait for it...
immediately, with a trailing newline.
Wait until the next full hour (when the cron job for awarding the badge runs).
Pr...
This might already exist, but through my search I couldn't find anything like it, so here it goes.
Find My Number code-golf
My friends and I have made are playing a game where we have a variable N that represents a number from 0 to 10. Using an expression they give us containing + - * / for a...
(Hopefully it's still Thanksgiving for you)
You got a turkey for your thanksgiving dinner but you don't know how to evenly distribute it. The problem is, some people eat more than others, so you need to find a solution
Input
Their will be two inputs, the first will be an ascii art of various p...
AppleScript, 94 bytes
Huh. Surprisingly contending.
log"Legen... wait for it..."
repeat while(current date)does not contain":00:00"
end
log"dary!"
Since log prints to the Messages pane of Script Editor, I consider it to be the closest output to STDOUT. Basically, if you get the current date, i...
