Leave my Python alone!
Some Linux distros are going to start replacing Python 2 with 3 as the default
version.
However, you have a heck of a lot of legacy scripts with hashbangs that are Python
2-only (e.g. #/usr/bin/env python). You need to change them all to say
python2.
The input
A Python s...
Write a program that takes an input to STDIN and makes all of the lowercase letters (ASCII 61-7A) in the 2k-1th word uppercase and all the uppercase letters (ASCII 41-5A) in the 2kth word lowercase (k is a positive integer). The program should not affect any other characters in any word. For exam...
Cookie Clicker
Cookie Clicker: Simple, stupid, and yet strangely addictive. In it you must click a cookie (hence the title). Once you have enough cookies, you can spend them on items that will produce cookies for you. Eventually you will be getting hundreds, then thousands, then millions of cook...
I have read: Tips for golfing in Python
I would like to golf this code further. Any more tips?
x,y,q,w=[int(i) for i in raw_input().split()]
while 1:
a=int(input())
s=d=""
if q>x:
s="W"
q-=1
elif q<x:
s="E"
q+=1
if w>y:
d="N"
w-=1
elif w<y:
d="S"
w+=1
print d+s
4 reopen votes and 1 delete vote is a strange thing to see. It's also slightly worrying that we have so little consensus on this matter. So let's bring the community together.

Three steps to the left: vipers. Three steps to the right: a cliff. Don't die!

Introduction
Suppose for a moment that the vipers and cliff are only two steps away, instead of three.

You know that 9+10 is 21, but someone challenges you saying that it isn't. You'll show them though,
Have your program print "21" in the shortest length possible. The only numeral characters you can use are the one's found in the left side of this equation: 9+10=21. That is, "9", "1", and "0".

I'm learning Matlab at school and we have to write a script that prompts the user for 2 numeric values. One for the month, and then, one for the day. And then, with those values we're supposed to express which day of the year (don't care about lap years) those values refer to.
Example:
The 5th ...
Your task is to create a program that prints "Greetings, Planet!" exactly to the console. Seems simple enough, right? Well, here's the trick. The code must be a palindrome, meaning it reads from right to left the same as in left to right.
Standard loopholes are NOT allowed.
The challenge:
Write a very short program that, when compiled, creates the most amount of compiler warnings and errors. It can be written in any programming language.
Scoring:
The score is determined by this equation: errors_and_warnings_length/code_length
Example:
The C# program class is 5 ...

Pareto optimality challenge
Write a class that maintains a pareto optimal set. This class must have these three methods:
k(int n): Constructs the class. N is the array size that all of the other methods must use.
boolean k.p(int[] n): Adds n if there exists no entry m in k such that each sing...
Early on in the film, Dr Bland says that the corn crop will die out in a years time, yet later on when Murph burns the crop, the corn is still growing despite being decades after the prediction.
Have I misunderstood or is that a slip-up on the film-maker's part?
