An igloo, (Inuit language: iglu, Inuktitut syllabics ᐃᒡᓗ [iɣˈlu] (plural: igluit ᐃᒡᓗᐃᑦ [iɣluˈit])), also known as a snow house or snow hut, is a type of shelter built of snow, typically built when the snow can be easily compacted.
Although igloos are stereotypically associated with all Inuit, they were traditionally associated with people of Canada's Central Arctic and Greenland's Thule area. Other Inuit people tended to use snow to insulate their houses, which were constructed from whalebone and hides. Snow is used because the air pockets trapped in it make it an insulator. On the outside,...

I've posted two well-received (by my standards: 10+ no downvotes) questions in the past; however, I've always missed a bit of information, so I welcome all feedback to this challenge!
Introduction
A palindrome is a word or string of words that is the same forwards as it is backwards, e.g. taco ...Bijective numeration is any numeral system in which every non-negative integer can be represented in exactly one way using a finite string of digits. The name derives from this bijection (one-to-one correspondence) between the set of non-negative integers and the set of finite strings using a finite set of symbols (the "digits").
Most ordinary numeral systems, such as the common decimal system, are not bijective because more than one string of digits can represent the same positive integer. In particular, adding leading zeroes does not change the value represented, so "1", "01" and "001" al...
DataBot
Thanks to the work of myself (Mego), VoteToClose, quartata, and CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ (and building upon the work of ProgramFOX et. al.), a chat bot named Data has been built that can run code for several different languages. Stop by the PPCG Code Snippet Chat Bot room to see it in action.
