Q: What's a half on the clock?

El'endia StarmanIn my room, I have this geeky clock (click for full size): Most of these are not difficult to figure out, but the one for 4-o-clock is particularly tricky: Normally, a fraction like 1/2 doesn't make sense in modular arithmetic since only integers are involved. The correct way, then, is to s...

Do we have a "default rules" Meta post?
Like "These standard loopholes are banned, program or function, standard input and output are allowed, scoring is in bytes, etc..."?
I don't think so.
Thank you, @NewMainPosts.

Q: Loopholes that are forbidden by default

Peter TaylorI've been thinking for a while that this would be useful, and some recent discussions have strengthened that belief. There are a number of standard loopholes which experienced question-setters seek to explicitly close. However, inexperienced question-setters may unintentionally leave them open, ...

That's loopholes only, though.
We also have the standard input/output post.
I think people are trying to create one. Go ahead and do it.

Q: Default for Code Golf: Program, Function or Snippet?

Martin BüttnerOne of the things many (new?) users forget to specify in code-golf challenges is whether the answers should provide a full program or a function (or even just a snippet). For most such things, we have defaults in the tag wiki (like scoring by bytes), but not for this. The conclusion in chat was ...

Q: Default for Code Golf: Input/Output methods

Martin BüttnerIt looks like we have a consensus that we want certain defaults for the format which answers are expected in for code-golf. On that poll, the question arose twice, which input/output formats should be allowed for programs and functions. So here is another poll. This one works different though. A...

I'm also in the middle of drafting a REPL meta post after my comments earlier
Noted: my title shall be "Default Defaults for Code Golf". :P
Awesome, I specified everything that needed to be specified. :P
Anything beyond that just wouldn't be golfish :)
But anyway, that tag wiki is basically what I would've done, so I see no real need to make a Meta post.
Oh. there's a Meta tag too.

Hey @El'endiaStarman, Spritz works on Stack Exchange chat. Complete with usernames! :P
Good point - I must add that tag to my draft...
@Doorknob冰 Haha, cool. :P
Spritzing chat is confusing though.
Yeah, kind of.

@TanMath more tips
@Sherlock9 I agree that counting substitutions as 1 or 2 is a pretty darn trivial change.

@Cyoce yes.. I noticed, but I was working on the Unicorn interpreter
Did anyone solve a challenge in HTML+CSS yet?

A: Make a Unicorn interpreter

TanMathPython 179 bytes Here is the second "actual" programming language Unicorn interpreter. I call this version of Unicorn "UnicornPy" pronounced as "unicorn pie". I am making this much too official! s=raw_input() s=s.replace('🐐','🦄🦄') s=s.replace('🦄','u') for i in s: if i not in "ug ": ...

@Dennis
I was thinking of writing a challenge about converting between x^(y^z) [that is just stacked on top] and (x^y)^z.
Does anyone think that is a good idea?
What would be the input and output?
i do not get the challenge... please elaborate
23:54
where are you @VoteToClose? we need a close as unclear :P
Input: expression as (x^y)^z
Output: expression as x^y^z.
So, s/[()]//?
do we have to evalute the second?
I'm guessing you don't just want the parentheses stripped - what's the extra bit I'm missing?
ninja'd...
Chat doesn't do latex, so I will clarify in a moment with images.
23:57
it has mathjax!
No it doesn't
really? it does!
nope: $x^2+bx+c$
it is called ChatJax (no, seriously!)
That's a userscript made by a SE user
23:59
so what.. it is good enough
Chat does not have MathJax
tell everybody to use it for a brief moment and write in mathjax...
