@SirCumference It's going to be updated... sometime soon... but that time doesn't come because we're in the depths of SE's large backlog which I mention not the first time.
@LuisMendo Reminds me of a story one of my teachers told once about how he had sharp pains in his lower abdomen, so he went to see a doctor, who had a picture of her daughter in the office. The doctor told him that he had acute appendicitis, and he responded "And you have acute daughter!"
@LegionMammal978 Yeah. There are legitimate uses. If no one had careted my message to Zyabin about the icons he (understandably) might not have given it credence. Saying "I agree", i.e. careting is a useful way of showing what the popular opinion is
@vim-golfers Do you think it would be more useful if the :g command defaulted to normal or ex? Ex is shorter for simple ones, but normal can do a lot more.
@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 I know. The song I used is licensed as CC BY 4.0 (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0) which only needs attribution, which I gave. Thanks Steve!
Grrr, why is neovim so stupid? Sometime I need "feedkeys", and sometimes I need "input". Sometimes I need the vim-key description (e.g. <C-v>) and sometimes I need the ASCII literal.
@Lembik The language describing runs is really confusing to me. I'm still not sure what runs are. Also it looks like the words are 1-indexed, I'd mention that. Also, give some examples and their exact expected output
Consider the following definitions taken from The number of runs in a string by W. Rytter. Note that word, string and substring are all roughly synonyms.
A run in a string is a nonextendable (with the same minimal period)
periodic segment in a string.
A period p of a word w is any p...
A bag, also called a multiset, is an unordered collection. You can call it a set that allows duplicates, or a list (or an array) that is not ordered/indexed. In this challenge, you are asked to implement bag operations: addition, difference, multiplication, division, counting and equality test.

England scores penalty. "Ha! Iceland's out. They tried." Goes to get Ice Cream. Sees Iceland score "Wat? They scored. Wow, they're actually good." 10 minutes later they score again. "England sucks! No wonder they're such a mess (reference to brexit)"
>_> = when you record Minecraft gameplay where you're talking about never finding lapis but when rewatching the video you notice lapis you completely missed
There are numerous reasons for trying to obfuscate input. These include preventing decompiling, and being a nuiscance.
With this in mind your challenge should your choose to accept it is to write a meta-obfuscator. Your code must in some Language X receive input as a String, and output a program...

Consider the points {1,2,3,4,5} and all their permutations. We can find the total number of possible permutations of these 5 points by a simple trick: Imaging filling 5 slots with these points, the first slot will have 5 possible numbers, the second 4 (as one has been used ...
Would a question which calls for an obfuscated answer be considered invalid? This has come up recently, and I would like to see a community consensus on this.
I am not asking this question to defend my own challenges, but rather to see what people think about such questions. Both responses from...
