Heh.
Any ideas for a puzzle titled "The Nth byte"?
Or similar titles, I mean.
Downgoat

Cycle the nth byte n times maybe? Probably too trivial

@Quill I expected nothing less from a plebian SO mod

print some amount of bytes, with the nineteenth being special?
ColdGolf

I was thinking this. I need "special" to be really special, as in, non-trivial.

well, jeez, think up your special challenge yourself
Also I meant to write every nineteenth

@quartata I'd like to imagine that they don't know the scope very well, but then again, learning a set of five or six rules is pretty hard, I mean christ, I nearly posted cat memes as an answer the other day
glad I dodged a bullet with that one

note that usually PPCG challenges are solved with golfing languages. restricting the allowed languages won't win you points there — Vogel612's Shadow 5 hours ago
you just got mob'd

probably best not to mob them, it would be ideal for someone to ping a PPCG mod and ask, but hey, that requires effort

@ColdGolf idea: cycle every nth byte n times
@Quill to be fair the code reviews have a bot to find CR mentions on SO to mob them
(pls excuse my cr bot ignorance)

We don't mob them, it's usually only one person that replies and we use a stock generated comment

I'm done with the awesome challenge, I need a title for it.

23:23
what is the challenge?
ColdGolf
ColdGolf
The challenge is like, input is a,b,4 and output is like, aaab, "a" repeated 3 times and the fourth character should be "b"
Same thing for like, e,f,6, output is eeeeef
I need a good title.
Conor O'Brien

IMO that challenge seems rather trivial in would be a duplicate of any existing string repetition challenge
ColdGolf
ColdGolf
Any ideas on how to change it?

come up with a different, less trivial challenge :)

What about having to double the output?

@ColdGolf that's what a submission to your challenge woudl look like

@El'endiaStarman Welp, that was an hour I'll not get back. >_<

is it the same as for sex? :P

I set the barrier at 21 internationally to be safe.

@Maltysen 18 IIRC >_>

@Downgoat no that's for sex

@Maltysen ....uhh, gonna need context for this. <_<
Maltysen
Maltysen
unfortunately, I probably won't be getting any soon, so that's not what I'm worried about
its about minxomat's podcast thing

@Maltysen I'm not sure why you'd need to worry about age of consent for that, though.
mınxomaτ
mınxomaτ
In the US at least a contract with a minor is usually completely fine, but they can retroactively revoke that. So parental consent is required for a contract to be binding.

@El'endiaStarman as I said, not the sex one, the legal one
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
@Maltysen Yes, I get that.

Maltysen
@El'endiaStarman so he can publish it
El'endia Starman

@mınxomaτ Wait, you're making people "sign" contracts to be on your podcast?

Ahhh, that makes sense, actually. I've signed or had signed a bunch of those in the past.

Defines the scope of my rights but also limits my liability.
It's not a terribly complex matter legally. But a necessity nonetheless.

Damn my challenge is too trivial, @Cyoce claims.
@ConorO'Brien, sorry.

Yo, @El'endiaStarman your site's down (halfway). (sometimes) a 502 gateway error appears. @ Spacewar
Slow load too

@ConorO'Brien I need a non-trivial challenge similar to my idea.
