@HyperNeutrino They are quite different: The old one's challenge was mapping to a non-sequential alphabet. This one's challenge was mapping two alphabets (i.e. try to combine it into one translation to save bytes).
I just remembered an idea for a meta post i had: a post where people can post links to ppcg related challenges but which wouldn't work on main for unobjectivity or such e.g. the one team koth thingy i thought up, or some sort of writing generator challenge or such which requires judges
@betseg The way it works, it, essentially, there's a randomly generated magic string that .output.tio uses. It's used as a seperator between errors, debug, and regular output. Printing that magic string anywhere will cause it to break, obviously deleting it entirely will break.
Dennis is working on a fix, but it's a more long term goal.
@Zacharý It's not a particularly massive polyglot challenge. The top three answers are collaborations of three users, so we wanted a chatroom to discuss additions instead of flooding the comments section
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ it says 'player8', I think it's working?
yeah it still says player8. is it waiting for input?
ah yes
reads instructions in git
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ someone has an else if "You are the doctor" in line: causing a syntax error
continue anway?
and I'm also getting an EOFError: EOF when reading a line from opener = input()
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ since the bounty has 13 hours of grace left, I'm going to get lunch before I finish running this game - also, so you can respond re. the errors
@Christopher2EZ4RTZ I'm kinda lost: 40% of the players regularly throw the same errors, and I don't know how well / what profile I'm supposed to play the placeholders like

@ShadowWizard No it does not, underhanded is out of scope there (as may be evidenced by the same question being closed; there is also a meta regarding if it could be on-topic - and it, of course, has since been asked again and will no-doubt be closed again. — Jonathan AllanJan 22 at 18:47

@user202729 The thing is the UI looks so much nicer and I'm fine with all of those things; they were mostly just minor things that caused me to switch when I was trying to decide which text editor to use.
@Mr.Xcoder I beg to disagree. If every closed post (except mods) needed 5 users to close it, then the post would actually be given a chance for users to decide whether it was a dupe or not, rather than have 8 people arguing about its dupeness, excluding the community from the decision.
@Mr.Xcoder People have tried, but a user with a hammer has always been the first or second voter on that question. If we left it to those without hammers to decide, it would allow for some thought by the community.
@NieDzejkob The long story then. I'm making a language with functions that can be pushed to the stack. After the functions are called, they can remain on the stack, or in a register, but can still be modified (such as adding code). I'd rather not have dynamic functions, so I'd like to have a .disable() method, so that they can remain in memory but can't be modified or run again.
@Mr.Xcoder Sorry if it came off that way, of course I think everyone here is part of the community.
I think having a proper discussion on Meta would be a great first step, and if it continues to be swing voted, temporarily lock it while sorting it all out.
the issue is the dispute, which has absolutely nothing to do with the challenge by itself, but is an issue of the challenge compared to other challenges

@WeijunZhou You really don't have to worry about such things too much, we have some defaults for that and, while it is good to have a throughout description of input and output rules, don't worry too much about it :)
well, the chance for two edits to collide is very small, and if you edit it while he's editing it he will be presented an additional restriction that his edit must be significantly different from yours in order to be submitted
@EriktheOutgolfer There was a time when we were new users too... I remember one of my comments on an 05ab1e answer: Done such a job in just 10 bytes... Impressive! or something... Your comment has made me very nostalgic :)
@Mr.Xcoder Dang! Gaia is nearly unusable because you have to push lists separately, Pyth has input quirks for more than 3 inputs, 05ab1e is confusing when it comes to taking multiple inputs and I have problems with type inference in Husk :(

@alicegoldfuss i once had the after-hours support pager for a unix supercomputer company in the early 90s. a call comes in at 6:30PM from NASA: "how do i exit vi?" - my response: "it's not rocket science." - his response: "i know. if it was rocket science i wouldn't have to call you."
@EsolangingFruit Hm, it was more of a poll to see what I should try to learn, and as of now I don’t quite consider V as an option because I know nothing (and am not planning to learn in the near future) about Vim.
@cairdcoinheringaahing I mean, you can learn it, but there are so many better languages out there (not quite sure if I'd put Canvas in that list yet though) :p
Here's some useless trivia: I ran a few queries across indexes of file systems of our customers (most of them have file servers with many dozens of TB of data). Pretty consistently, only between 20 and 30 percent of file names (including dir names) are unique for any given system.

@DJMcMayhem I work with black holes for a living. My first black hole was very stubborn - he wouldn't listen to directions, and wouldn't even come when I called. Now I'm working with his offspring, hoping this one will behave better. Black hole son, won't you come?
This at least gave me the opportunity to lower the disk footprint of the database. Using both index- and front-compression shaved off 50% without much performance impact.
@betseg due to some reason, the cond_b.. was in wrong identation, I guess it was my browser, sorry that it was a useless edit :c, now at home I see that I made it worse
