I am wondering though. Until now, I assumed DDoS attacks usually had a purpose (bring this service down, extort money from that guy, etc.). None really applies here...
@mınxomaτ That's nothing. I had a VPS once (different company) and somebody tried to brute-force my email account's password. They suspended my service because I was sending spam. After convincing them that it's kinda hard to send spam via incoming SMTP connections, they re-enabled it but cautioned me to prevent it from happening again...
By concatenating a new digit each iteration, output an indication of whether or not a string of Pi is prime (ignoring the integer part).
At iteration 0, your "Pi string" will be 1: start with 3.1 (Pi, to n+1 decimal places, unrounded), and remove the integer and decimal point to get 1. Output wh...
VPS Ace wasn't much better. Someone breached my control panel account (hosted by them, no clue how), and they tried to convince me that I could have prevented this by installing an antivirus on my server.
"Who are you and how did you get in my house?!" "Oh, I kicked the door open. Which you could've prevented by installing locks. Want to buy *these*?" "..."
@mınxomaτ As far as I can tell from the logs I do have access to, there were roughly 1.4 Gbps of inbound traffic which caused a CPU load of 50%, so it did each the server.
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Well, it's worth at least trying. I've never really cared for MOBAs, but I can understand why they're popular. The strategies go crazy deep
The server is back up. Whatever has happened, I don't think it made it into the logs. No connections to the HTTP server, not more than the usual amount of failed SSH connections.
@Sp3000 That. I only have an email from DO notifying me about the temporary disconnection of my server and the logs in the control panel indicating the traffic.
@Dennis you don't need to make any changes, I was just asking what sort of file name gets passed to the interpreter, is there a non-zero chance that it would be a certain absurd string which bugs it?

It's interesting how there was a little flurry of activity in chat at the beginning of 2011 and then chat basically just died for most of three years before activity really picked up again.
Hmm, browsing meta for that time frame doesn't ring any bells as to why. Probably a few fun thing hit HNQ around then to bring in another new crop if I had to guess.
@Maltysen I was thinking about doing that. I could also uncheck the SQL box at the same time so you can just click "Run" without having to do anything.
@Geobits like wth, i kinda not really can understand that we're a different site than the others and so it took longer to graduate us, but why is it taking longer to give us a design?
@Downgoat Looks pretty cool, but probably overkill for what I need. Besides, can't you include other JS files from JavaScript? If so, you could do that and then do the charting yourself.
As I said in chat, this game would've been so much more fun if the initial reaction was "PPCG is attacking our egg. Rally the troops!" instead of "PPCG is a bunch of nasty cheaters". — GeobitsMar 31 '15 at 22:23
Close-Knit Words
Introduction
According to Rand Al'Thor's post in the Puzzling SE, a close-knit word is any word that contains three alphabetically consecutive letters (in any order).
Words like education, foghorn and cabaret are all considered close-knit words whereas words like learning, kla...
@El'endiaStarman oh its not important, just wanted to try a fourier transform
i can prolly figure out some js stuff
@El'endiaStarman feature-request make query output width not 100%. the scrollbar goes all the way to the right, and it becomes the target for all my touchpad scrolls
@Sp3000 cuz it doesn't instantly cause any damage. the guy has a chance to evaluate whats going on, which if he can't then not autorunning doesn't matter
@Maltysen That actually only happens when there's more than 960 time units. width = (data.length > 960 ? data.length : 960) - margin.left - margin.right,
I chose to do it that way so the data is graphed somewhat more faithfully, but maybe I can add an option somehow to toggle that particular feature...
@Maltysen In the browser console, you can do JSON.stringify(queryOutput) and you'll get a big text string, which you can then copy-paste elsewhere, and parse with a JSON library in your chosen language.

The Base in the Mix
code-golfbase-conversionmath
Input:
A list/array of integers in the range of 1-36.
Output:
The sum of the integers (as base 10), where each next integer is in the base of the previous (starting with a regular base 10).
Example:
Let's say we have an input like this: [4, 12,...
Typing Literal Tab Characters
I do not know how feasible this is, for the developers, but I do believe, that at least on this site, it may make more sense to stop expanding tabs into four spaces. If the browser side code can be made to render tabs as four spaces, this issue is moot. Some code go...
