codegolf.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/edit Is there any way I can force my edit to be a suggested edit?
 
2:40 AM
@RedwolfPrograms as soon as you are ready to support people making submissions. Which, hopefully, is right when you make the challenge :)
@MilkyWay90 no, and the same is true for those with the ban-hammer ability. You have the experience necessary. If you aren't sure about something in particular, feel free to ask, but in general, edit away, and if you make a mistake, rollbacks are possible.

Q: Output digits of \$\pi^{1/\pi}\$ forever

AnushThis challenge is to produce the shortest code for the constant \$\pi^{1/\pi}\$. Your code must output consecutive digits of \$\pi^{1/\pi}\$ forever. This is code golf, so the shortest submission (in bytes) wins except that it must output the first 1000 digits in less than 10 seconds on a reaso...

 
I am thinking of an extended tic-tac-toe challenge

@LuisMendo hi
do you think there is anything I can do about the gamma function?
or will another builtin just rear its head?

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

OmegastickPrint some very large numbers Not sure if this has been done before. Write a program that takes in a scientific format number (as a string), and outputs a decimal representation of that number (also as a string). The trick is that this must go far beyond most languages number limits. Example: ...

@Anush My point was, if you ban pi or trig functions, there are so many others than can be used that the ban is probably useless

@flawr Twas a joke playing off of DJ's off-by-one issue. OBOE = Off By One Error
Additionally, I played tuba in school, so about as far from an oboe as you can get.

Q: Minimum cost for the machine

kenithBenjamin has N boxes in his garden with dimension xi*yi*zi each. Because he does not want to let them out and get wet, he wants to put them in the warehouse with a capacity of V. To solve this problem, Benjamin bought a machine which, with the cost of 1 buck, gets a box and increases or decreases...

 
@Anush FWIW, i think it's a good question, I probably would have made it a code-challenge, though
 
@primo good point
 
it would have made it more clear that finding the shortest built-in is not the objective
i also don't understand the hang-up about the output, though :p

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Luis felipe De jesus MunozGravitational Force Between Numbers The gravitational force is a force that attracts any two objects with mass. In this case our objects will be Numbers and their mass will be their value. In this challenge we are going to be trying to simulate this using numbers. TO do so we don't care about t...

Any last minute suggestion before posting?
 
Don't do it! (Let me have a quick look)
 
Amusing interaction between two ELIZA-type programs (DOCTOR and PATIENT ("PARRY")) from a long time ago: github.com/PDP-10/its/issues/1493#issuecomment-493690515
 
@LuisfelipeDejesusMunoz I'm not sure the non-adjacent attraction examples are detailed enough. Also, you might want to mention somewhere that the collapse process happens once and the updated values aren't also reused for attraction purposes

Q: Sliding retrieval

Phil HThanks, Uncle (the story) My slightly mad uncle recently left for the space colonies, and passed his pallet goods business to me. The rectangular warehouse is full of pallets of goods except for the one square by the door, and I've just received the first list of pallets ordered by customers to ...

Q: what did I do wrong and how can I improve

kenithwhy did they put this challenge on hold? How could I have made it clearer? Benjamin has N boxes in his garden with dimension xiyizi each. Because he does not want to let them out and get wet, he wants to put them in the warehouse with a capacity of V. To solve this problem, Benjamin bought a ma...

sandbox isnt featured on main
 
yesterday, by Mego
@Anush There's a limit to how many things can be on the sidebar. The update to the incident post knocked the Sandbox off. I removed the featured tag from Best of 2018, so the Sandbox will be back on the sidebar in some indeterminate amount of time.
 
oh
 
3:06 PM
@Veskah As it is, Numbers are not attracted to non-adjacent numbers. I added a note specifying that and also that attraction only happens once
 
Yeah, I figured that out after a reread.
"The gravitational force is a force that attracts any two objects with mass. _In this case our objects will be Numbers and their mass will be their value.
In this challenge we are going to be trying to simulate this using numbers._ **TO** do so we don't care about the strength of the force but the direction of it."
Oh, guess linebreak breaks italics. And the bold failed. Either way, The two lines between the underscores seem redundant. Not sure if you wanted all-caps TO, could probably also use a comma after 'To do so'

@Downgoat Is Neovim any good? What's the best vim?
 
Obviously V

am I being stupid or did m stop working in Pyth?
this should just copy the input right

@LeakyNun well, your code works on TIO
so I think the heroku version's just ded

I see, thanks

Q: Dad jokes are fun

connectyourchargerWe all know the classic dad joke that goes something like this: Somebody says a sentence to describe their self (e.g. I'm tired or I'm confused). A dad-joke enthusiast comes along and replies Hi <adjective>, I'm Dad!, because introductions follow the same format (I'm Peter follows the same form...

How does one make an efficient time-based priority queue? In a time-based priority queue, the keys would be the relative time, but too high of a relative time and we'll overflow our integer class. (How does node.js implement one efficiently?)
@Downgoat Do you use vim with an IDE?
