The Nineteenth Byte

You mean he accidentally added an an extra letter

But really, that's more impressive, right? I mean, I'm surely the only user with a descision-problem badge

@Mego Nice one. Mention a typo with a typo in your mentioning

@Christopher That's actually a meme

@Mego Sheesh every time I think I make a new meme it is a old meme (ノ°Д°）ノ︵ ┻━┻

@Christopher Solution: don't try to make memes. It's foolproof.

"Sheesh every time I try to golf a solution really well I get outgolfed" "Solution: don't try to outgolf anyone. It's foolproof."

Memes were just a fad. They've passed now

Tell that to imgur... :P

I know. It was just an inane comment disguised as a clever joke

@trichoplax flags then you get banned for offensive content

What on earth are you talking about? I don't see anything offensive

You can't get someone banned by flagging them. Flags only count against someone if they get validated

Or are you just trying to make a joke? I miss jokes easily :P

9:15 PM

@ETHproductions It was a joke.

Also fixed reply link

oh, ok. Sorry

I did wonder if you meant that one

I mean saying memes have passed :P

TFW you find you have several pages each open in 2 or 3 separate tabs

People do get very protective of their memes

Is this a triangular number? code-golf decision-problem number Given a positive integer, determine whether it is a triangular number, and accordingly output a truthy/falsy value, or any two constant, distinct values. Definition A triangular number is a number that can be expressed as the su...

Well that was considerably faster

Introduction Unlike English, German is considered to have quite a phonemic writing system. That means that the correspondence between spelling and pronunciation is close. Given any word you aren't familiar with, you would still know how to pronounce it because of the spelling system. This means ...

I have none with a +10 challenge

Well since I don't need to backtrack it should be easier. Is brute-forcing all 2**(n**2) configurations allowed? :D [I know it's not :(]

user165474

Let there be a circle of 5 ones and 4 zeros, in any order. Then, on each iteration, replace each digit with the inverse of the XOR of the digits on either side of it (also just iff). Prove that you will never reach a state of all zeros.

@HyperNeutrino either side?

@HyperNeutrino Yes. But it would be very slow

user165474

@ASCII-only Hm?

11:12 PM

There is nothing against it in the rules

user165474

Oh perfect. Then I don't need to care about making it even decently efficient.

user165474

This should be fairly easy then.

user165474

(hopefully)

But it does have to actually finish

@HyperNeutrino oh wait circle

Yes :)

A: Loopholes that are forbidden by default

Code that never finishing running on challenges that need finite output If you try to brute force a code-golf challenge to save bytes the code must run and compile without crashing. If you can't run it without crashing on the largest or have another user verify that it does your answer is invalid.

@HyperNeutrino you will always have an even number of points with a 0 on one side and a 1 on the other (meaning an even number of 0s), QED
