Applesoft BASIC, 2 bytes...? (or 11, counting characters)
Tested on my Apple II+ computer ( :0 )
10 LIST:RUN
The reason why this is so short is because Applesoft BASIC tokenizes instructions. There needs to be a meta post or something about how to score Applesoft BASIC answers.
Also, I think ...
@ckjbgames So, it is not a "cheating" quine because it is not reading from a file. I believe the consensus is that a quine may not read its own source code, whether it resides in a file or in memory. I could be wrong though
Challenge
Given a string and a number, divide the string into that many equal-sized parts. If the length of the string does not divide evenly into the number provided, you should round down the size of each piece and return a "remainder" string.
For example, if the length of the input string is...
> "failed to get `usr` cookie from Stack Exchange OpenID, " chatexchange.browser.LoginError: failed to get `usr` cookie from Stack Exchange OpenID, check credentials provided for accuracy
Anybody know what I did wrong?

@ckjbgames Non-competing is not the same thing as invalid. Non-competing solutions are to be acceptable (but non-competing isn't really a thing anymore). Invalid solutions are not.
@ckjbgames It's not a valid answer, so find a different challenge for it that allows it, PPCG has stricter versions of "quine" rules than standard because of so many builtins and whatnot
@ZacharyT non-competing meant that the interpreter/interpreter features were added after the challenge post date, but there was a meta post that overruled that
Anonymous
@ZacharyT This meta post implemented the policy that solutions aren't automatically non-competing just for using a language newer than the challenge.

Solutions can still be non-competing for other reasons (e.g. a specific rule on a challenge), but that's much less common

We're going to have to remove the "non-competing" term from a lot of answer headers...
@StepHen There might be a way for mods to do it without causing bumps, but I'm not sure. A few bumps wouldn't be a big problem, so it would have to be done slowly if there isn't a magic mod tool for mass-editing.
What feedback do you have for me?
Challenge
Print out the current time in a 12-hour format. HH:MM AM/PM
Examples
12:13 AM
05:15 PM
Rules
This is code-golf so the shortest solution in bytes wins
Standard Loopholes Apply
You may use functions as well as programs
CMC: Regex-golf this: ^[^_]?(_[^_])*_?$ (every other char must be underscore, can start on first char or second char, cannot have two underscore in a row)
Because I'm really not that good at Regex and I'd like to learn
The challenge
Write a program or function which takes a string input as a function parameter or from stdin and determines if it is a valid FEN string.
Input
You can assume the input will only ever include the following characters (case sensitive)
pkqrbnPKQRBN/
The length of the input will alwa...
@ConorO'Brien Really, it's the community that counts, I personally couldn't let software get in the way of community unless it's really bad (which I guess he thought this was)
> Coincidentally, these two programs implement exactly the functionality that PPCG consensus has decided qualifies a language as being a real programming language. Therefore, it is definitely a real programming language.
That's how I started. I started dual booting for a course, then realized after a month or so I was never in the Windows partition.....then when my hard drive crashed I just never reinstalled windows
While I was dualbooting Windows and Linux, I never felt like Linux did anything useful, I already had all my programs on Windows. It was only when I fucked up an Ubuntu installation and accidentally overwrote my Windows partition that I realized how awesome Linux was.
@Phoenix The only games I play really are Rocket League, Civ V, Speedrunners (all of which are available on Linux) and LoL, which I managed to install through WiNE
@musicman523 My laptop only runs Linux, because any game that's old and simple enough to actually run on a crappy 10 year old laptop, manages to run in Wine.
My desktop with Windows lets me play newer games like Overwatch, Rainbow Six Siege, etc.
Most computer keyboards feature a small integrated LED light,
indicating the current input mode, as controlled with the CAPS LOCK button.
Your task is to blink it:
Turn it on;
Wait for 0.5 (+/-0.1) seconds;
Turn it off again.
Video footage of the LED blinking is highly appreciated !

@officialaimm @R.Kap @totallyhuman You can all save 2 bytes on Divide a string by slightly altering your output format: Try it online! (this one happens to be R. Kap's)
You just print the two items rather than putting them in a list or tuple together

You will be given a 10 X 10 matrix, where every element represents a block of the city.
The city will have three types of blocks : free block, dead-ends, and target.
Free blocks are represented as single digit numbers from 0-9 (repetitions allowed), dead-ends as 'x' and target as 't'.

What's the fundamental issue? Is it the permissions themselves, or the lack of access to some useful tools which happen to by blocked by the permissions?
For this challenge, you should write a program or function which outputs the diagonals of a given square matrix. However, if you transpose the rows and columns of your solution's source code, it should instead become a program or function which returns the matrix's antidiagonals. Read on for spec...
If that's too hard/long, here's another simpler CMC: given a positive integer n, return an n by n matrix filled with zeroes except for borders which are filled with 1s.
4 gives
1 1 1 1
1 0 0 1
1 0 0 1
1 1 1 1
you can return arrays of arrays instead if matrices are not supported in your language
A false memory is the psychological phenomenon wherein a person recalls something that did not happen. False memory is often considered in legal cases regarding childhood sexual abuse. This phenomenon was initially investigated by psychological pioneers Pierre Janet and Sigmund Freud. Freud wrote The Aetiology of Hysteria, where he discussed repressed memories of childhood sexual trauma in their relation to hysteria. Elizabeth Loftus has, since her debuting research project in 1974, been a lead researcher in memory recovery and false memories. False memory syndrome recognizes false memory as a...

A staircase number is a positive integer x such that its nth digit (one indexed starting with the least significant digit) is equal to x % (n + 1). Thats a bit of a mouthful so lets look at an example. Take 7211311, if we take the modular residues of 7211311 on the range 2-8 we get the followin...
A primitive element of a finite field is a generator of the multiplicative group of the field. In other words, alpha in F(q) is called a primitive element if it is a primitive q−1th root of unity in F(q). This means that all the non-zero elements of F(q) can be written as alpha^i for some (posit...
I agree. It doesn't make much sense on PPCG; then again, in my opinion, it doesn't make too much sense anywhere. Maybe they should make repcap scale somewhat based on your current rep.
