Seven-segment usage
I have an old digital clock and I am concerned the individual segments of the digits might run out of magical binary energy or whatever powers them. To know which of the segments on the clock will fail first I want to know what is the percentage of time each segment is lit.

@MarsUltor Here is the tool I used to build these anagrams. geobits geobits geobits was hard, because WordSolver only supports 15 letters.
WordSolver excludes... hands, of course! I made these anagrams by hand. I entered the word(s), and WordSolver returns (almost) all English words made from the input.
Every programmer knows that rectangles □ are really fun. To exacerbate this fun, these cute and fuzzy diagrams can be transformed into groups of interwoven brackets.
This challenge is the inverse of my previous.
Let's say you have a group of interlocking rectangles like so:

Vandermonde determinant
code-golf math
Given a vector of n values (x1,x2,x3,...,xn) return the determinant of the corresponding Vandermonde matrix.
This determinant can be written as:
The windows crash dumper will automatically copy the crashing application's RAM to a file. Which is unfortunate if the allocated memory is the result of a memory leak. In other words: I just freed up 57 GB by deleting crash dumps ಠ_ಠ
The challenge
Your goal is to write a Hello, World! code, exactly like defined in this challenge.
With a twist!
We change just one rule: you are allowed to use any loopholes defined in this post.
@MarsUltor 1) Sometimes moderators make jokes that replace feed bot posts, often those that link to deleted posts. 2) Mods may become mad at us for that, so they are disallowed.

Fastest graduation
fastest-code
Your goal: To make PPCG graduate as quickly as possible.
Rules
You must make a userscript/userstyle in any language that supports DOM modification. (For example, you can use JavaScript, Brython, or any language that can display and modify webpages, e.g. .NET)...
C does check for null pointer deref by crashing violently :-). It also occasionally checks for out-of-range array indexes and uninitialized variables by screwing up your stack frames and data. Unfortunately it checks these at runtime. — paxdiabloJan 7 '09 at 2:47
I have a plan to program Tetris in an esoteric language. Does this plan deserve its own chatroom?
# My Plan
I'm nowhere near finishing this, but I've got an **attack plan**. The key word here is **abstraction**. If a stage becomes esoteric, I'll abstract it to the next stage.
1. Create an esoteric language with an interpreter in a known programming language, for example Python.
2. Create a self-interpreter for that esoteric language.
3. Start improving this self-interpreter to make the language like a known programming language.
4. Start creating libraries for the language, among them a library for console works (like curses).
Introduction
File names can be wildly varying things, ranging from a simple blah.txt to 303549020150514101638190-MSP0.txt. The former is usually human generated, while the latter is often machine generated. Wouldn't it be nice to have a simple function to make educated guesses on whether or not ...
Say you have a population of people. This population is made up of 100 Alices and 25 Bobs. So, 80% of the population are Alices and 20% are Bobs. We want to change the proportional makeup of the population to be 62% Alices and 38% Bobs. But there are rules we have to follow:

Identicons are small images of geometric patterns that represent the hash value of a string. Stack Exchange uses the identicons from Gravatar as each user's default avatar image.
In this challenge, we will use the Gravatar identicons as well to generate some text to golf.

Fun fact: I used my friend's mathematica once; he asked me how to something (I forgot what) but it was legit camel case of the problem name. He stared at me in awe: "How do you know so much Mathematica?" I shrugged. "It comes with golfing and guessing." "Uh... I thought you said you programmed recreationally for a pastime?"
