> The alcohol may have neutralised the acid and therefore limited the uptake of cyanide. [...] We postulate that despite the administration of antidotes and supportive therapy, our patient may have been able to detoxify himself.
As someone who has worked in the life sciences for several years, I like to call myself a "medical professional." My girlfriend thinks that being a programmer in the field does not warrant such a term.
@ThomasKwa I agree, but I guess I'd assume that graduate students would already be familiar with the concept of academic integrity. I guess there's always someone though...
@Doorknob Hey kids, I'm a computer. Stop all the downloadin'.
I'd like a challenge about a futuristic society where everyone wears chrome and the only food left is corn, but the corn needs medication on a regular basis.
Wow, I still haven't managed to install the Intel compiler. I already installed about 28GB(!) of Prerequisites and now it requires another 1.3GB SDK...
@GamrCorps It looks like you sandboxed a post that's exactly the idea that Dennis mentioned in chat shortly after he mentioned it. I got the impression from his comment that he had an idea for it and would have liked to post it.
I was typing it as he sent that message. However, Peter Taylor has brought up some good points and @Dennis seems to have much better ideas than I do, so if he wants to take he he is welcoem to do so.
@NathanMerrill OK, my small sample shows that Google, PPCG and Try it online! all gzip their content. Since I didn't enable it for TIO, Ubuntu's Apache seems to do so by default. That makes sense, since there really isn't a good reason not to.
I see lots of information about enabling http compression for server responses but what about for incoming requests. Wouldn't it make sense for the browsers to compress large form posts before sending them to the server?
Another example is a REST web service that we use. We have to send freq...
Shortest undefined behaviour in C
ccode-golf
What is the shortest spec-compliant C program that invokes undefined behaviour?
I only care that your code could theoretically summon the proverbial nasal demons, when compiled with a sufficiently evil but 100% standard-compliant compiler. You can c...
In Java, is there a way to assert that an Object is an instance of a Class? In a way that I can take something that could be of any class, assert that it's of a given class, and then use methods on it that are specific to that class?
@PhiNotPi like this: function(17); ... int function(Object obj) { return obj++; } should be the following to work correctly: function(17); ... int function(Object obj) { return (int)obj++; }
Anyways that means you can outrun the water demons
I would try to make a break for the down staircase. Just take it slowly and back out if you get in trouble. Remember: nethack is not real time. No rush.
Everybody loves geometry. So why don't we try and code golf it? This challenge involves taking in letters and numbers and making shapes depending on it.
The Input
The input will be in the form of (shapeIdentifier)(size)(inverter).
But what are shapeIdentifier, size, and inverter?
The shape ...
