I'm thinking of self-nominating my JS answers to N-mover or Euler numbers for BoPPCG mathematical insight category but I can't decide which to nominate
who would be interested in participating in a bot competion along the lines of el'einda starman's spacewar, but for a much more complex game, and more competitors?
problem is, the game competiion is outside of ppcg
I need to design and implement a program in visual basic that will take in records and display records using a two-dimensional array. The array must have at least 3 columns. One of those 3 columns must contain something of type integer or double (like an age, salary, etc.). Besides entering reco...
So, if I wanted to celebrate someone reaching 100k rep ... would there be ways that a programmer might recognize. It's funny, the suggestions y'all have almost seem more like math. :P
Yeah, depends on the interpreter. Most interpreters allow wrapping cells, but Bubbler's code is more dependable and should work in all brainfuck interpreters
Hi @Lyxal :) Going okay. I'm thinking of revisiting a regex project from a year ago, and porting it from ECMAScript+molecular lookahead to plain ECMAScript.
How're you?
Noticed you changed your name. How long had you had the previous name?
@a'_' I was going to say qea: I'm always typo'ing ea as ewa, and the q makes the pinky, the weakest finger, need to go up and down. This is assuming normal typing stance, of course... if I use other fingers it's not hard. But of course the real answer would probably be three U+10xxxx chars, because you didn't specify directly typeable characters...
I'd kinda like to rename to Davidebyzero, because I've been using that name in more contexts... but it'd break all the previous times I've been @referred to, so I won't do it.
I wish the system had been designed not to hardcode those @references to names. On the other hand it's a bit interesting seeing what people's names used to be. @MartinEnder used to be @MartinBüttner. And @Grimy recently renamed to @Grimmy. I wondered why he had chosen a name with typically negative connotations – but probably he meant it to be pronouced "Grimmy" all along.
@Deadcode This is how I do it: Inspect the leaderboard's source code. Delete the node of either "Leaderboard" or "Winners by Language", based on what you are trying to see.
@a'_' Anyway, the script is trying to show a "Winners by Langauge" column, but it overlaps with the main "Leaderboard" column. However, when not viewing full-page, if I zoom out to 90%, it looks like your screenshot, but I can only view a tiny piece at a time because the box it's in is non-resizable.
_If there you want to include multiple numbers in your header (e.g. because your score is the sum of two files or you want to list interpreter flag penalties separately), make sure that the actual score is the last number in the header:
I recently created a new language called ;# (pronounced "Semicolon Hash") which only has two commands:
; add one to the accumulator
# modulo the accumulator by 127, convert to ASCII character and output without a newline. After this, reset the accumulator to 0. Yes, 127 is correct.
Any other c...
@a'_' Shouldn't the leaderboard snippet be a stub that loads itself from a URL? That way, it could be updated at a central location and its bugs would be fixed everywhere it's used.
It's going to be a monumental task to go through and replace it with the stub in every question it's already been inserted into, but the longer you wait before changing it to a stub, the larger that task is going to grow to
I was reading this NYT article about the hack of Jeff Bezos's phone. The article states:

The challenge - given a numeric list L and an integer N as inputs, write a function that:
finds the bucket sizes for L such that it is split into N whole buckets of equal or near-equal size, and
returns for each element in L the minimum of that element's bucket.
Example -
L=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
Really, this site discourages any sort of editing, perhaps excepting some spelling mistakes. Leave a comment instead
And on mobile the leaderboards; a) Don't work, since they can't be run, b) aren't hidden in a dropdown, instead they're just three giant code blocks you have to scroll past

@Deadcode They're usually hidden under a dropdown that says Show code snippet though
@Lyxal Who's using Desktop mode on a phone though? I only really use that when I need to edit an explanation and need to see the preview for indentation
@JoKing I always use desktop mode. I hate the mobile mode... it hides lots of information I want to see (or at least makes it much harder to access). This is on a Google Pixel XL though, so it's deals with desktop mode quite smoothly. Much older phones/tablets might not do so well?
