Also getting a reasons helps me verify that the downvote was for a legitimate reason and I know how to fix the post; just getting downvote without any comment doesn't tell me how to fix it or if it was just a misclick or some random person downvoting me for the sake of it (I don't think that ever happens :P)
@HyperNeutrino every name is either 3 bytes or many. And right now the compressor doesn't deal well with multi-word words (which doesn't make sense by itself :p)
@ASCII-only That compressors not really meant to be used. It has many bugs, like spaces where they shouldn't be. That particular thing is because Java probably had a toString for some object, but not JS
Apparently I went inactive in chat during the latter half of June and August: ppcg.starmaninnovations.com/tnbde/#HsxFbUMuAT (The August one makes sense, since I was on vacation then)
@cairdcoinheringaahing Don't delete your account, just go stagnant... chances are you will want to come back eventually... maybe... (I don't know why you're going)
For the subvector reversal challenge: Anyone want to try using multi-phase algorithm (like Rubik's cube algorithm, but with ~17 phases)? Not sure if it can beat the current solution, though.
That is, you solve each phase optimally, and concatenate the result. Each phase places some numbers such that its state space is manageable (say <1e8). May extend to use suboptimal solution in first phases, too.
@cairdcoinheringaahing I used to be on here all the time, then I left for various reasons - but I never deleted my account, and I come back every so often (like the last few weeks)
ಠ_ಠ A new user just went on an "edit golfing" spree, and misunderstood the question, which was why the answers weren't as golfed as they could have been
@cairdcoinheringaahing Weird search bug? Searching for "Retina" then clicking "Newest" and going to the last page shows the oldest question rather than the oldest post. Need to do "retina is:a" to get the oldest post.
Oh, I see. The "Produce 2014" question itself was edited to add Retina to the leaderboard, which is why it shows up like that.

What's assignable to what?
In this challenge you will be given two types, A and B and determine if A is assignable to B, B is assignable to A, or neither.

@DigitalTrauma I was trying to come up with a nice word that would work as an acronym, but failed. The word "retina" was quite close to some of the attempts, and I liked the word. I never managed to retcon it into an acronym though and have since given up on that. So yeah the "re" is sort of for "regular expressions" and maybe the "n" for ".NET", but ultimately it's just a word that sounded nice. — Martin Ender ♦Feb 9 '16 at 21:41

Output the Source, One Bit at a Time
Write a program or a function that when called outputs a single value, 1 or 0, and when called
multiple times, the output numbers produce the binary representation of your program's source code
(in the same code page that your program is written in).
For ins...
*\*::shrugs::\** I'm not a programmer, so I can't understand what you're saying. =P They disallow hardcoded constants larger than 10, so I'm not sure how one applies this rule to hardcoded strings
TBH I didn't put much thought into that... It feels somewhat natural to me because of Java's generics, but I suppose proper set notation would be nicer... unfortunately the test program I wrote doesn't accept that notation...
Transitive Equality
The Challenge
Given 3 inputs:
A positive integer which is the number of variables,
A set of unordered pairs of nonnegative integers, where each pair represents an equality between variables, and
A positive integer which represents the starting variable,
Return a set of n...
@Mr.Xcoder It is? Didn't really pay attention to that - I don't care about SO. I have a separate enterprise SO account because we use StackOverflow Talent to recruit.
@Poke Build servers, staging, production, mail and a few Munin / Elasticsearch / GrayLog2 nodes. I'm not the only one, seems like the data centre is being attacked / scanned.

The XOR Quines!
Your challenge is to make a program that outputs its source code but when each of its bytes are XORed with its answer number, it outputs the source code of the previous program.
For example, if the previous program was:
print 1
and your program...
