:| i've left my laptop running orlp's hyper-optimized solution to this for n=102 and n=106 (maybe i should have tried n=100 first?). it appears to be up to ~4 trillion but it hasn't stopped yet :/
ok. time to try to identify patterns for a >2-year-old challenge
I forgot towel day
Sandbox link
As you may know, may 25 is well known as Towel Day, because of the many uses a towel can have.
A simple extract if the book "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (personally i took this book as an "everyday guide") states:
"A towel is about the most massiv...
One day, I saw the challenge to multiply two strings and I thought I might be able to do one better.
That challenge was fake. It was elementwise maximum. It was not real multiplication. So I set out to make something real. Real division between two strings.
I quickly realized that this would m...
@LeakyNun Long ago I read a netiquette saying: Don't say anything which can be offensive to somebody, e.g. "Nice weather today!" "— What the @$*& do you have against Seattle?!?!?"
I'm not sure when I'll actually get around to finishing Proton 2 because the parser is the easy part, I still can't decide what's a good way to make the type system.
Right. Doesn't moderator deleting it automatically validate the flags though? (I think if Dennis spam-flags it it will automatically delete it as spam but still say Dennis did it with modpower)
@EriktheOutgolfer how is this scenario any worse than the community flag-deleting it? The message is there & I don't see anything else that should differ from a regular deletion
@dzaima The difference is that getting flagged as spam and deleted counts differently against the account and so the account can get classified as a spammer and removed/banned/etc.
@EriktheOutgolfer The spam flags says Exists only to promote a product or service, does not disclose the author's affiliation. How does that apply here?
no, but, from what I've bothered to have a sneak peek at, it has a few capitalized stuff that might be names being advertised too badly, no? why would I consider a well-reputed mod's actions spammy o_o
(btw when I saw "Try 1." I thought you meant "try abusing 1 spam flag on a random post to see its behavior" and I thought "WHAT?", my mind is provably a mess)
> Mods see the actual post, not the stub.
I'm so sorry you mods have to endure that (maybe a measure taken so as to detect wrongly-red-deleted posts?)
ok so 1 red flag can do this to a post which should be just normally deleted...that doesn't come off all that well to me
on the contrary, I just wish we were able to vote whether or not to hide a deleted post's content, like a "hide contents" button, that, when used by enough users, makes the post hidden by default)
You have come across an old Indian manuscript, one that describes mounds of buried treasure. The manuscript also tells you the location of the treasure, except that some crucial numbers have been encoded indirectly into the text. You figure out that the text uses a 'Kaadi' system, a restricted su...
@H.PWiz My plan was to build a formula describing the construction of every set using the axioms, and the enumerate the formulas somehow, but I gave up. What's your solution?
@Cowsquack so the set of hereditarily finite sets is the smallest set satisfying the property that every finite set of hereditarily finite sets is itself a hereditarily finite set
So a friend posed this challenge to me: given two strings, swap their vowels. For instance: f("hello", "world") returns ["hollo", "werld"] and f("xaeiou", "eeeeeee") returns ["xeeeee", "aeiouae"]. Now I'm sure I could do better in an actual golfing language but he only knows Javascript. I'm trying to golf down my JS solution from 138 bytes:
