@Calvin'sHobbies Oh, I didn't know they had that there. I used to use them more, but their length limit is a killer sometimes. I've been using wordplays.com/anagrammer more recently.
Does anybody know how to filter the results of os.walk() in Python to only non-hidden files and folders on Windows? The SO results I've seen work for Unix-based systems but not Windows.
That one is kind of... puzzling. But I think some people have much more detective energy. So I'll leave it up to them to figure it out. I tried the obvious derivatives of C.
Well, of course it could also be something completely different. Some people have been getting pretty creative in disguising their entries.
Theoretical Analysis of Pulley System
(I think it is gonna be a code golf challenge?)
Introduction
In rope access and rescue, as well as sometimes in climbing, caving and rock climbing you need to build pulley systems for hauling equipment or rescuing injured people. Here we will look at them ...
Jarrod whipped this up this past week, and the behavior should now be live. Edits will be rolled into the previous revision if the previous revision was created by the same author and none of the following conditions are present:
The previous revision was created 5 minutes or more in the past

Using a variation of "Hello World" for the intended output creates a bit of a problem, yes. The whole "must be a programming language" rule wouldn't even be necessary if we had to print "Guess my language." or something like that.
If you use the reply function in chat, it currently does two things.
It links your message to an earlier message.
It pings the person who wrote the message you are linking to.
In some cases, it can be useful to decouple these two. Specifically, one might want to link to someone elses message ...
@PeterTaylor this sort of got lost in the windows vm conversation yesterday: would you mind explaining why you think that the tougher version of the double-or-permute challenge would allow more approaches for golfing?
haha, I wonder what the author of that question is thinking with all the sudden attention on the question :D
right, but my thinking was that if I just asked for the length, all of those approaches might still be valid (plus length() at the end), but you also get approaches that don't keep track of the sequences.
then again, you might be right if you're saying no one will keep track of the sequences any more

A malapropism is the substitution of one word for another that sounds similar, often as a way to make something sound unintentionally humorous. For example, "A rolling stone gathers no moths" is a malapropism, since the expected word, "moss", got replaced by "moths", w...
I found this really obscure, really interesting language that I'd like to try out
The problem is, the interpreter is a command line, and I accidentally pressed enter without typing anything, so now it closes with an error as soon as I open it
@PeterTaylor would you mind having another look at the number permutation thing? I think it should be ready for a final review now (although I probably won't post it today)
of course, anyone else feel free to have a look and give me feedback as well :)
and as always, I'm taking suggestions for a catchy title
Try something like "C:\Users\My Ibm\Documents\Coding\xxx\xxx.exe test.txt" (create test.txt in that folder if it (very likely) complains that it doesn't exist)
