@miles I was hosting Jelly elsewhere before I published it on GitHub. I'd have to check. As for the idea, that's kinda hard to pinpoint. Shortly after the Biplex challenge iirc.
Ok, it turns out I was very wrong. I've capped 3 times here, 5 times on SO, 3 on Meta, 4 on Puzzling, and 3 on EL&U. So 18 times total. Much better than I thought :D
@miles Did some digging, and I'd say it's November 5, 2015. I had considered making a J/APL-like golfing language before, but that's when I had the first concrete idea.
I was thinking that if we make a language that doesn't overload operators with a monadic and a dyadic functions, trains could be much better. There would be no less confusion regarding which type of train the coder is trying to build.
hey, I'm considering starting a chat room where we play a game where the game evolves as people add/remove rules. Is this something you guys would want to participate in?
Just wanted to say that I learned more from my CS professors (and my father) than I ever will from online tutorials. Sure HS CS teachers are usually bad but your professors will be invaluable later on if you know how to communicate with them
I think the main reason it sounds weird is that the second prep phrase (to be handed in) ends in another preposition, so your brain is ready for that to start another phrase.
Make an un-polyglot-able language!

The cops' task is to create a language that is as hard to polyglot as possible. However, when making a language, you must follow these rules:
ASCII characters only.
The language must fit our definition of programming language, i.e. it must b...

Is it necessary to use a BigDecimal? If you don't have to, I'd use an int or long for seconds, and it would simplify things a little bit:
hours = totalSecs / 3600;
minutes = (totalSecs % 3600) / 60;
seconds = totalSecs % 60;
timeString = String.format("%02d:%02d:%02d", hours, minutes, seconds);...
We have already defined a folding number here.
But now we are going to define a Super Folding Number. A Super Folding number is a number that if folded enough times it will eventually reach one less than a power of two.
The folding algorithm goes as follows:

"Using encryption, hashes, or other cryptographic methods. If you see a language that employs RSA encryption, or refuses to execute a program unless its SHA-3 hash is equal to 0x1936206392306, please do not hesitate to downvote."
That's the million dollar question and why we only have a CnR every once in a while. :P The first CnR's only banned built-in cryptography, but cops can easily code their own.
I'm about to downvote/comment on this answer, which basically says, "Psssh, I'm not writing a program to solve this." Here's the response I typed. Do you think it's too harsh / too soft / just right?
> This is not an answer to the question. If you want to write some code to solve the problem, please do so; but if you just want to say you're not interested in solving this problem, that doesn't belong in an answer and should be deleted.
@HelkaHomba Casting a delete vote on a post that should be deleted is never wrong. If you have reasons to believe that the community won't be able to remove the post without mod intervention, cast a flag as well. In this case, since it was posted in chat and NAA flags only get shown to moderators after 30 minutes have passed, flag or not flag won't make a difference.
Ok, once again I find myself requesting the help of the resident JS experts here. I've written something that pulls my tracks from spotify. Once I've got this data (each track is a JSON obj) I throw these in an array. Now I want to just filter out the names and
artists for each track, combine them into a plain old string (which they already are) and add that string to an array. This works fine, the chrome debugger shows correct values being added to the array. This is the REALLY wierd bit though. When I do console.log() of these values it always prints undefined... WHY??!!
if the program has the hash that add has, it adds two numbers. If it has the hash prime has, it does prime check. If it has the hash that print("Hello, World!")#0xdeadbeefhahahahahahyou'll never get this program to workasvhjaDVJVSHADJKVDhjkvdhavkvahJVDAHJkdahk it prints "Hello, World!"

Not even gonna try golfing this code.
