I think my version might contain slightly more detail (not included in the spec yet) such as the ability to choose which arrows light up, so that only passengers travelling in that direction get onboard.
This just started happening on non-meta sites:
Meta Stack Exchange's logo in the "Featured on Meta" section seems to have been replaced with some site's logo. Mousing over the icon does produce "Meta Stack Exchange" as normal, and the link works.
It even happens in the reputation and inbox dr...
When I goto http://meta.engineering.stackexchange.com/ and click on any of the links for a question, I get the oops page. So, per the page's request, I'm reporting it here.
It's not just that question. It's every question on that site.

I've written up what I think is a good challenge, gotten feedback in the sandbox, and then posted it to the site. Upon submitting I'm met with a page that shows:
When I simply try to resubmit my post, I get a message saying there is a duplicate which links to the above page! For reference, h...

This was our fault. We noticed that our error pages got appreciably fewer views than everything else, and asked engineering to break everything in order to fix that. — Tim Post ♦37 secs ago

On almost every page in the Stack Exchange Network, there lives a list of some the current "hot" questions across the network (sometimes abbreviated HNQs). Some of these posts have very exotic titles (especially the ones from Arqade) and some have very simple titles.
Either way, I've always foun...
@El'endiaStarman which actually makes a good point for the challenge: perhaps the function should also accept a list of 2 sites that it chooses between
you include the correct site, and another random one
I was thinking that it's better to just have the whole list of SE sites and you pick from there. If you pick multiple, either you get a fraction of a point for a right answer, or you only get to pick two.
@Quill That's pretty cool, but I think I can do better by making a stand-alone website that pulls from the HNQ in some way.
@NathanMerrill It's the one thing the community cannot do on its own. And with requests for clarification on questions and critique/fixes/improvements for answers, we get a lot of comments that eventually become obsolete.
In computer science and logic, a dependent type is a type whose definition depends on a value. A "string" is a type. A "fixed-length string of length 5" is a dependent type because of the dependence on a value. It is an overlapping feature of type theory and type systems. In intuitionistic type theory, dependent types are used to encode logic's quantifiers like "for all" and "there exists". In functional programming languages like Agda, ATS, Coq, Epigram and Idris, dependent types prevent bugs by allowing extremely expressive types.
Two common examples of dependent types are dependent functions...
@Doorknob I was reading the Puzzling chat you posted on your election post, and there are repeated references to a meta post you made. What was the meta post about?
Background
Consider a round-robin tournament, in which each contestant plays one game against every other contestant.
There are no draws, so every game has a winner and a loser.
A contestant A is a king of the tournament, if for every other contestant B, either A beat B, or A beat another contes...
@Zgarb I actually had a KoTH based on tournament kings. Basically, you had full knowledge of the tournament progress, and a limited amount of points to use to attempt to beat your competitors
King of the Tournaments
This game is based off of Graph Theory Tournaments
The competition will be a series of tournaments, where the Kings of a tournament will play in the next until the winner(s) is found
Every player will play every other player exactly once in a tournament. Each player wi...
I recently notices that Tex.SE has a Welcome to Tex.SX! meta post. In it, it describes what the site is and how to use it. It also includes information on the scope. I think this would be a good addition to PPCG. If a new user does not understand how to use the site properly, most users leave a c...
@El'endiaStarman I doubt it, but mass hysteria is a thing, too. All it takes is a few people to stir up a crowd and they'll see whatever you want them to.
(given the right crowd, etc)
I don't really want to get too far into it, though. Nothing good will come of this :P
@Doorknob I'm a bit baffled that emotions got that high. The best argument I heard was that the meta post didn't have the "status declined" edit at the top which was causing people to try to close on-topic posts

'cause I think it's probably using iTunes, somehow.
Nope.
I'm hearing Revelation Song (Kari Jobe) at the moment, and I'm expecting to hear Let Me In (Will Reagan + United Pursuit Band) next, if I remember my playlist correctly.
Oh, nope, next song was Awakening (Chris Tomlin), which is in the playlist, but not in that order.
@EasterlyIrk Oh, he was on American Idol. That's probably why - I haven't watched any of that show for several years now. I think I watched the fourth season or something.
Anyway, third song is in the same playlist, and I just realized that this playlist is also a folder in my Music folder on Windows, so maybe that's where the songs are coming from. (And they seem to be randomly chosen.)
