Basic Uiua Planet Notation code-golf uiua Sandbox note: I have another challenge in the works which expands on this one and includes more complicated "planet notation" expressions. Uiua is a stack-based array programming language, and with the great power of a stack comes the great responsibility...

Is this challenge reasonably clear?

Q: Compute the infinite Pochhammer symbol

I saw the following problem on MathsSE: You try to do something and your probability of success is \$p\$. If you fail, you try again, but the probability of success falls down to \$p^2\$.

The funny thing about having a bounty question is that you get upvotes for questions you asked on different .SE sites ages ago

@UnrelatedString You gave me feedback on one that was about dip/pi/gi/gp/do and Uiua's formatter. I have 3 challenges about Uiua in the sandbox.

You probably couldn't search it because of this

Q: If a Web page’s CSS stylesheet specifies custom left & right margins that improve its look, does that make a derivative work of the Web browser?

The situation: I maintain a Web site. I was working with a local copy of one of the site’s pages and a local copy of the CSS stylesheet file that is used by that page (the CSS stylesheet is used by more than one page on the site.) I edited the stylesheet to specify custom left and right margins f...

derivative-works website

I am very curious about the backstory of this

been having my first experiences with basic web APIs for the first time over the last week and

I think this is actually worse than I expected

and I expected it to be bad

…granted, it doesn’t help that I’m not actually using JS or TS and the bindings I’m using are godawful in their own idiosyncratic ways on top of that :P
