real hackers use Trisquel GNU/Linux, because rms uses it and he is the the most realest real hacker

btw, im so cheap :( i've done a C/C++/Python answer :(

I used Retina, that's even cheaper :P

Real programmers set the universal constants at the start such that the universe evolves to contain the disk with the data they want.

Great idea: someone should make a polyglot that is both an image and an executable in some programming language. But they should make the image in Paint.

If you're gonna do that, you might as well make it an actual answer here.

@mbomb007 Is there any image format without a header?

ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'json' (= 1.8.2), here is why:
          Unable to download data from rubygems.org - SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed (api.rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)

Can anyone help with this?

I'm very very proud of this answer. It was blast to write

TuxCopter

a vim polyglot

srs

DJMcMayhem

It's really not that hard

Vim is actually ideal for polyglots

Since you can just ignore everything, then prepend <esc>dgg to undo anything previous code has done

Kritixi Lithos

@DJMcMayhem You could provide an xxd

DJMcMayhem

And it doesn't have comments, so you can insert it wherever you want

@KritixiLithos status-completed

@TuxCopter Idk. I know that there already exist polyglots of images that are also valid JS.

But I think you had to modify the header manually.

I personally created a JS/mp3 polyglot and a JS/mp4 polyglot.

TuxCopter

wat

mbomb007

Both the JS and the media will Rickroll you.

TuxCopter

but MP3 is a compressed format

mbomb007

So?

I just modified certain bytes. So the audio/video weren't exact anymore, but you couldn't really tell the difference.

I would've been hard pressed to point out differences

The main change was replacing every occurrence of */ so it wouldn't interrupt the block comment.

I just made an MP3 / JavaScript polyglot. You can listen to the song, or you can include the file as JS with <script charset="ISO-8859-1" src="thefile.mp3"></script> and it will navigate to the song's URL.

The Google drive link is right after that.

I don't think I can golf it any more

It really helps that brain flak essentially has a zero byte solution

Q: C# First 1 (right to left) in binary number

I am trying to find the first 1 (right to left) in the binary representation of a number. So 100 should yield 3, 234 should yield 2, etc. Any tips to golf my solution? k < 1 ? 0 :(int)(Math.Log(k & -k, 2) + 1);
