Anybody else have a moment when they are having this bug for a really long time, and then they actually read the documentation, and it's actually right there?
Is it considered bad to edit old code-golf answers to add in headers so that the answers can be easily seen by tools using the SEDE or data dumps?
I can see pros and cons to doing this, and I what is the correct thing to do in this case.
Pros:
Allows for easier analysis and searching

Useful comment to read (for newcomers who like banning golfing languages):
Re 1. if you encourage downvotes, please encourage them for boring solutions, not for languages you personally dislike. Re 2. Limiting the admissible languages for a challenge is very much discouraged on the site. Saying "I don't like your language, you can't participate" isn't really nice. Especially since these lists will always be completely arbitrary. And once you disallow CJam, GolfScript and Pyth, you'll get the same complaints about the (non-golfing languages) APL, J and K. And when you start disallowing those people will complain that they can't beat Perl. — Martin Ender ♦Sep 15 '15 at 14:24

So now I'm having a problem with stack exchange CSS. Anyone know how can I replace the primary.css on all sites of SE with a version I provided? (locally)
Task
Given a list of integers L and another integer s, the goal is to compute the column-wise sums of all s-length (potentially overlapping) slices of L, while pertaining their positions relative to L (see below).

I can prove that the "get two from one" challenge is solvable. Solution coming soon.
@HeebyJeebyMan Why code-challenge? It's not even related to coding. (but you're likely to code to solve this anyway)
... after all, the "minus 8" part is just for nice looking score. Just like how we make golfing languages while competitions are for each languages, not between languages.

Anyone interested in being on the next episode of the PPCG Podcast, or anyone who wants to suggest topics, come on down to the PPCG Podcast Room!
function magic(in){
if(in.boolean != true){console.log("non-true");}
if(in.boolean != false){console.log("non-false");}
console.log(in);
}
prints
non-true
non-false
{"boolean": true}
What is passed to magic function?
Based on real problem :) I spent 30 minutes on this puzzle

@user202729 It needs a winning criterion tag of some sort and code-challenge is the most broad. I consider generalized minesweeper to be a programming language and thus using it to be coding. proof-golf questions were code-challenge before there was a tag for them.
@Mego We need to track down some other things for Kansas City Shuffle.

@PhiNotPi There's been plenty of time for nominations. I'd rather have only one nomination (and thus the post wins by default) rather than a bunch of space-filling nominations that pose no real competition

Has there been any challenge that asks to input a number, and displays all possible ways to write the numbers from 1 - n using only + or - sign , such that result is 0?
just checking for dupes. if there hasnt been one, i will write it cuz its pretty good idea for a challenge
Challenge
The challenge is to write a code that takes a positive integer as an input and displays all the possible ways in which the numbers from 1 - n can be written, with either positive or negative sign in between, such that their sum is equal to zero. Please remember that you may only use ad...
@ManishKundu Challenges should be self-contained, so, if you post it on Main, include them in the post rather than pastebin-ing. For sandboxing purposes, I think pastebin works
I actually learnt more about what a derivative is from this question than from any of the informal calculus lessons my parents have tried to teach me :P
And a lot of the rules are really simple too. For example, if you can remember 1) Drop +- x for any constant 'x', and 2) x**n --> nx**(n-1), then you're already most of the way there
@Mr.Xcoder It's been a while since I've done calc. Remind me again, what can make a function not differentiable?
