It's like: You - "I found an interesting science news article the other day and thought you might like it." Me - "Sure, what is it?" You - <takes out encyclopedia>
@ASCIIThenANSI "we don't use \n or special codes, but you do not necessarily have to ignore these if we enter them." ... "special codes" seems rather vague. it might be more straightforward just to say "The input will only consist of printable ASCII characters (code points 0x20 to 0x7E)."
@MartinBüttner still, its a fine line. For example, in CJam : was not working with so many operaters, but can we go ahead and modify the answers now that it works ?
@Sp3000 @NinjaBearMonkey Retina update: intermediate stages are now silent by default (use : to get their output and ; to make the final stage silent, although I'm not sure what that's good for).
@Sp3000 okay, I've pushed the changes. printing is still awkward if the last stage is part of the loop. the best thing to do currently is to add an empty stage at the end (which sort of defeats the purpose of having ) at the end implicit, but I haven't sorted out nice semantics for printing within these loops yet)
I don't see why... if the input was an actual image file with white, grey and black pixels, that would only change how I read the input, but not how I process it.
ascii art is just another (low-res) representation of images.
the question, as of now, does not involve any image processing . no answer will do any image processing, neither the input will ever have an image as an input
@Optimizer "In modern sciences and technologies, images also gain much broader scopes due to the ever growing importance of scientific visualization (of often large-scale complex scientific/experimental data). Examples include microarray data in genetic research, or real-time multi-asset portfolio trading in finance."
The Pauli matrices are a set of 2x2 matrices which appear very commonly in quantum physics (no, you don't need to know any quantum physics for this challenge). If we include the identity in the set, the four matrices are:
σ0 = σ1 = σ2 = σ3 =
[1 0] [0 1] [0 -i] [1 0]

We've got 93 tips questions. 61 of those also have the code-golf tag. I suspect that actually all 93 of them (or at least 90) are actually tips for code golfing. So this seems like fairly inconsistent tagging practice, and I can see why there's confusion about it. It would be nice to decide how t...
tbh I wouldn't be surprised if Jakube got the xor thing on their own, because they update the coefficient differently (and a bit longer than mine I think)
