@DJMcMayhem It's not just about highway signs, but lots of machined parts and schematics are produced according to imperial units. I mean, you could change every instance of "3/8 inch" to "9.525 mm" but it's obvious that the imperial is still there underneath, and the "imperial" parts are still incompatible with "metric" parts.
@PhiNotPi It doesn't have to be done all at once, I think. Highway signs have to be replaced occasionally anyway. Replace them with signs that list both units. Leave old schematics in imperial units, but produce new ones with metric units.
It's a funny accident that this world happens to have just 1 time dimension, but it doesn't have to be like that. It's easy to imagine worlds with 2 or more time dimensions, and in those worlds you could build computers and run software on them, just like in this one.

If anyone hasn't seen this, please vote on these (not the question but the answers), for the bounty
IMO it should go to one of the later ones but I can't control that due to the bounty message. I want to bounty either one of them but placing another one would mean doubling the rep

@PhiNotPi And that challenge is why 2 time dimensions doesn't work: it's unpredictable
@totallyhuman If in theory I were to know what you were referring to, I would theoretically tell you that the program runs fine without them (and copy pastes correcty anyways)
a select few may enjoy reading between the lines
I hope someone actually does solve this the fun way (hint hint @ConorO'Brien)
@Pavel You could only tell for sure if the same model of the same manufacturer came also with Windows, but Chromebooks are usually quite a bit cheaper than comparable models that come with Windows.
oh gosh I implemented decimal numbers using a "." operator in one of my languages. it casts both of its operands to integers and concatenates them with a decimal point ಠ_ಠ (3.4).(2.7) => 3.2

CMP: Should Proton support statements like f(3) = 4 that add a specific case to the function such that f(x) where x != 3 is still the old value but f(3) will be 4?
hm okay. yeah it will require a slight amount of extra work to make the parser recognize <function_call> = <rvalue> and for the interpreter to read that correctly but I should be able to manage it, I think. I was just wondering if people would be like "yay fun" or "that's dumb" :P
also. i'm kinda thinking about making a kind of universal language, but i'm not sure what kind of language features would be needed. OOP (classes, namespaces) would be a must right?
(All these features blatantly stolen from Coconut)
Although in Coconut, you would do print$(?, end="") to indicate you're doing partial application, which I think isn't necessary given that it can be implied from the presense of ?.
oh also: what would be the most sensible way to implement ? as a way to automatically create functions? as in ? + ? would become (a, b) -> a + b, but would f(? + ?) return a function accepting two parameters or would it pass the function to f
@Pavel I would personally always go second hand. I also recommend Thinkpads, this one for example is very good value for money. I think they're not super light though
Convert Arabic Numbers to Chinese Numbers code-golf
There EXISTS a similar question, "Convert Chinese numbers", but the question itself differs from that question by:
That question asks for a shortest code converting Chinese numbers to Arabic numbers, but this asks for a shortest code...
i want a java code which will prompts you to input an keyword and then reads the keyword.it will look for keyword in the directory you will hard code, and search for the keyword in that directory and gives output if it matches or not.
the thing is that we should not make users think they're unwelcome, and directing them to an even stricter community abut such stuff will most definitely make them feel like that

@EriktheOutgolfer Redirecting (not migrating) programming questions to SO with a message explaining why they're off-topic here is Being Nice. Whether or not SO users Be Nice is not something we can control. We did our part.
Also I feel less bad about using my canned comment bookmark when the user doesn't even have the decency to look at the purpose of this site before posting obvious homework questions
@AdmBorkBork in case you are wondering about what I just did with one of your answers, the development version of the snippet is fine with that humorous comment, but I remembered that it's just the development version after I've rolled back my edit
BTW, should the uncracked answers be sorted by bytecount or time until safe by default?
