Can anyone reproduce this? ^

@user Link to the query, maybe?

Also CMP: Should counting be a synonym of combinatorics?

@Bubbler caird's query right above my message(s)

@Bubbler I don't think so? Can't think of any specific examples that are counting but fall outside combinatorics at the moment tho

> Combinatorics is a mathematical pursuit interested in counting. This could include counting the number of ways to do a thing, the number of things with a certain property, et cetera.

Ah, I guess making it a synonym makes sense then

@Bubbler I think no, because counting generally involves tasks where the primary thing is counting in some form, whereas combinatorics is much more varied

Like, I wouldn't consider this a combinatorics challenge

@cairdcoinheringaahing So I'm overall #4 in Socratic counter :P

That said, I dislike the fact that counting is a tag

@cairdcoinheringaahing That's a good counterexample

@Bubbler And, despite being 3 challenges behind Martin, you have almost a quarter his rep :P

PPCG in 2014/15/16 was the perfect time for rep hunters

Slightly over a quarter, but yeah

i wonder what the total net reputation gain for all users over time has looked like

or i guess for a more representative graph, the net reputation change over the amount of posts or "active" users

Can't speak to that, but there have been exactly 2 posts posted in the past 21 months that have 100+ score: codegolf.stackexchange.com/…..

There were 219 posts with 100+ score created in 2014/2015

Hell, 147 of those were 2014 alone

oh wow

Voting on this site has dropped massively

That was one of the biggest casualties of the Monica incident (and the underlying problems between us and SE). Most of the heavy voters have left

Y'all need to vote more then

> GolfScript lacks a real factorial function

Honestly, I''m shocked anyone ever thought GolfScript was a good golfing lang

It was good at the time

Yeah, I guess it's like looking back at the first planes and being shocked that people considered them to be incredible inventions, but still :P

I don't think I've ever seen an "elegant" GolfScript program, whereas I have for most other golfing langs

even vyxal? :p (i'm sure i've seen a very elegant vyxal program i just can't name one off the top of my head, but i'm not sure i could for jelly either)

I can't name them, but yeah, I've seen elegant vyxal solutions

Then again, elegance is subjective

For all the hate it gets, vyxal (ignoring the flags) is a pretty well designed golfing lang. There are bits I think are poorly designed, and could do with improving, and there are bits I actively dislike, but overall, vyxal's really not that bad

(ignoring flags, of course)

@cairdcoinheringaahing the parts that are poorly designed are probably due to inexperience when first designing the language

Vyxal is truly the rickroll of golfing languages, in that it's become a meme, but if you actually spend some time with it, it's not bad

Haha transcript starting go brrr

DV/VTD pls

@cairdcoinheringaahing is flagging for moderator intervention fine?

Because I'm out of votes and I don't have vtd powers for answers yet

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Ask the mods :P

isn't this an answer

It's a literal copy of Martin's, with a bit of "2gOnline" thrown in, and a bit from Sp3000 Runer112's answer

it looks legit enough at first glance, but it's basically a copy

i was referring to lyxal's message, which has since been fixed :P

yeah just on first glance this looks like a cheap copy

> CJam, 28 27 x 1 = 27

vs

most answers with no code blocks but what seems like legit code, are missing formatting, or have lines collapsed together are plagiarised by someone who didn't put forth any effort

> CJam, 28 27 x 1 = 27

like, at least try

> Come on, you could've at least tried to make it look legitimate. I'm not even upset, I'm just disappointed

Hehe, if I ever become immortal diamond being, I'm using that :P

What does "Unregistered" mean?

They haven't provided an email address (essentially)

It's when someone is registered and you cancel their registration :p

There's more nuances to it, but it means that they've created the account just to post that post

😕 i is confuze
