Does anyone know how Amazon sets their prices? This desk was $800 on Saturday, $350 yesterday, and $270 today. That amount of fluctuation on furniture just seems weird to me.
Hows does the Java 8 solution for the Love/Hate Conundrum code golf work? If j=0 at the start of the loop wouldn't the boolean j++ < i == false and thus the body of the for loop wouldn't execute? Thanks in advance for any feedback.
The contest is now over. Coward is the winner.
You can watch the last match here.
Suddenly zombies appear! OH NOES!
In this king-of-the-hill challenge, you must create a bot to survive the zombie apocalypse. Or at least, hold out for as long as possible.

@seshoumara I tried making a feed for Bash answers. It will have some false positives and I have no idea if it actually works, but if you link me to your room, I could try adding it.
@NathanMerrill Really? I had a Python submission that printed "Good" or "Evil" (I forget which) and it took 200 ms to get its output from Java. I'm surprised your Python submission takes five times as long on occasion.
yeah, on my todo list is to push individual game results into a database. That way, rerunning the controller won't invalidate past results
unless, of course, a new bot gets added
oh, the other benefit of Jython and Nashorn JS is that I can provide informational methods rather than passing the entire game state (or whatever is visible)
I don't know how much got eaten by rep cap. Certainly a bunch. But, given that the user in question only has 841 posts total, and the vast majority of them are under 50 upvotes, and the user has ~277000 rep overall, clearly a lot of rep came from that one question.
Ruby, 97 37 44 bytes
lambda{|s|s.chars.map{|c|c.upcase.ord}.join}
Take the ordinal of each character in s converted to uppercase (to ensure 2 chars per number for ordinals)
@NathanMerrill Further information: I suppose it's slightly cyclical, but they cycle lengths vary (and I'll tell you that cycle lengths strictly increase); one can predict the value of a certain position with ease

@ConorO'Brien I'm guessing it's the (possibly absolute) differences of two similar sequences (that differ by at most 1 between pairwise terms), like Hofstadter's F and M sequences.

@MartinEnder i had an idea to re-use one ; but it doesn't work for this particular string: replace the first encountered / by ] and go through the rest backwards, like this but for other strings you wouldn't need no-ops in the middle:
H ; e ;
P ; 2 Q /
d ; l ; r /
l ; ; o . . ]
; o ; W ; 0
@ ; 1 P ;

@mınxomaτ git status still takes forever, but that's not your fault. I actually raised an issue on their github repo. Also, I can't run java. Even when I do java -version, it just sits there
@El'endiaStarman Yeah, but I've never played it. It really is considered kind of a hillibilly sport. But it looks quite fun=) I've just seen one game so far I think=)
