@quartata you only see so many low quality posts because the volume of posts is so incredibly high, and it becomes waaay harder to actively enforce quality standards
In theoretical computer science and formal language theory, a regular language (also called a rational language) is a formal language that can be expressed using a regular expression, in the strict sense of the latter notion used in theoretical computer science (as opposed to many regular expressions engines provided by modern programming languages, which are augmented with features that allow recognition of languages that cannot be expressed by a classic regular expression).
Alternatively, a regular language can be defined as a language recognized by a finite automaton. The equivalence of regular...
Given an input of an integer n and a list of integers m1,
m2, ..., output a list of integers m1',
m2', ... where mx' is defined as the average of
mx-n through mx+n.
When calculating these averages, ignore indices that are out of bounds (and
adjust what you are dividing the sum by accordingly). n...
@TanMath It doesn't work. It starts too calmly. Rickrolling heavily benefitted from that massive drum scale which kicks it off. It instantly makes you groan. Hello is too soothing to engender more than a slowly growing mild annoyance.

Used this interpreter to test it.
This took me some 4 hour of hard work and horrible debugging to create. But it is done!
Just because I'm curious, if there existed a Rookie of the Year award on the Best of PPCG 2015 thread for a user who contributed high-quality questions and/or answers and wasn't on the site before 2015, who would you nominate?
The last time we heard from a Stack Exchange community manager was in March of 2014, when Grace Note came to talk to us about the progress we've made as a site. That was back when code-trolling was a thing, and the community's response to the news wasn't particularly positive given how code troll...
Something I like about this site: SE staff came to us and said "Wow, you guys are doing way better! code-trolling is really working out for you, huh?" and we still killed it
