The textbook market is so unbelievably screwed in the US.
Like, looking at what my university bookstore is selling stuff for... why would I want to rent a used textbook for $128? And they're selling the new copies for $305.
At least I can buy this book loose leaf on Amazon for $90... still a racket.
Ok so... its a little hard to describe, especially with slow phone ttyping . bots are a string of characters, a program. When on the grid, they move forward one space executing one command per space
They have commands like turning, shooting, push and popping i guess.
When the end of the progrwm is reached, it loops
Maybe when it loops it goes back to the original position, maybe not, i'm not sure
It could be interesting to have 1-char commands where the bots are snakes that move 1 step per turn. If you watch the game, you would see the commands moving around on the screen, each turn the command from the end of the snake gets executed and transported to the front of the snake.

What are some languages in which you can write two versions of any program: one using only alphanumeric characters, and one without using any alphanumerics?
I really want to find an alphamagic square in Russian, but I don't know how to code.
Apparently, there are alphamagic squares in English, French, Danish, Latin, Finnish and German, but none have been found for Russian.

There are many numbers which can be expressed as the difference of two squares, or the difference of two cubes, or maybe even higher powers. Talking about squares, there are various ways of writing a number, say 75, as the difference of 2 squares. You can write:
75 = (10)^2 - (5)^2

It was all snowy with pine trees, etc., and everyone was acting a bit odd
Eventually, I got confused and went onto Google Maps (still in the dream)
As I zoomed out, I saw I was in my own city and county
And these were in my congressional district, which was in New Georgia, which was in a much larger place called "q@!^q@!^q@!^q@!^q@!^...", with the ellipses and everything (apparently bordered on all sides by land)

@LegionMammal978 From the Chatiquette: "Don't use The Nineteenth Byte as a dumping ground for your thoughts or actions." Is there any reason why we need to know that?
@cairdcoinheringaahing I'm sure everyone's sent some odd off-topic things to this chat before, as long as it's not constant or repetitive there's not a really a problem.
I heard that it already happened, in Russia... Radar and sensor signaled nuclear missiles against Russia, but someone not follow the orders, and not pushed that button. It was only one radar error...

This is an answer-chaining challenge in which each answer builds on the previous answer. I recommend sorting the thread by "oldest" in order to be sure about the order in which the posts are made.

Huh, this user is quite interesting. He has at least one gold badge on all but 4 sites they're registered on. Him and Mego are the only users here with the 'raise 500 helpful flags' badge.
@cairdcoinheringaahing then you shouldn't be using GitHub... seriously, you really want to use the git command to do anything useful except odds and ends such as merging pull requests
@totallyhuman I'm looking very much forward to seeing what actual code will look like. I found Brachylog much more appealing than Prolog, and thus is like to Haskell what Brachylog is to Prolog, no?
Is it just me, or are the 'reboot' and 'shutdown' utilities that come built into KDE or GNOME or whatever really weird? Like, when I go to "start" menu -> shutdown it takes like multiple minutes to do whatever but shutdown 0 takes like 10 seconds.

Idea: Whenever a user upvotes, the amount of rep awarded by that upvote is 1/1000th of the upvoter's rep. (Rep not taken away from upvoter, this is in lieu of the normal +5 or +10 upvotes)
