@ConorO'Brien but the actual code wasn't that hard to write, the hw website does everything clientside, so it just ned to be harder than doing it urself not impossible
@Maltysen Some general advice, I'd suggest removing the naked variable names/strings, such as 'updateCookie' and 'removeCookie' (e.g.), maybe using a seeded random function. try removing all strings too, that'd be nice
@quartata the other option is to abandon all the potential customers who would pay via cash, and sell it anonymously online via paypal/chrome web store
the problem with that is that the cash-only customers likely make up most of my market
Prove (-a) × (-a) = a × a
We all know that (-a) × (-a) = a × a (hopefully), but can you prove it?
Your task is to prove this fact using the ring axioms. To avoid ambiguity here are the ring axioms where + and × are closed binary operations on some set S of which a, b and c are members:
a + (...
This answer just prompted a question, which I've wondered about a few times when answering challenges in esoteric languages:
For some esoteric languages, the only means of input/output is reading and writing individual bytes from STDIN to STDOUT, and interesting golfing of numeric challenges is ...
@Maltysen 20 students is only if you're really lucky too. You'd probably get like 8-10, and for that you could just set up 20 or so TF2 accounts with Xvfb and idle for the semester
@ConorO'Brien actually, we took some of the old equipment that the school was gonna throw out after the engineering teacher got fired (ocilloscopes, etc.). We're planning on selling it on ebay, but haven't got around to it yet
8-20 drops per week (max drop time is 10 hours so you can power instances off and do something else after), most will be worth one cent but hat drops will be about 10 cents
@Maltysen nah idling
Although to get hats you'd have to buy a giftapult which is 7 cents
At any rate we all know that my patented trading card trick is the best for that
1 scrap -> 1 card -> 4-8 cents on the community market, ez 600% profit not counting what you lose in exchange (keys cost $2.45 -> PayPal buyers usually only go for like $2.30)
CMC: graph-theory Given an undirected graph and a node, return all nodes reachable from that node
In other words, given a set of variables, a set of equalities between variables, and a single variable, return all nodes transitively equal to that variable
Graham's number G is defined in this way:
u(3,n,1) = 3^n
u(3,1,m) = 3
u(3,n,m) = u(3,u(3,n-1,m),m-1)
[Knuth's up-arrow notation]
[Conway chained arrow notation]
THEN
g1 = u(3,3,4)
g2 = u(3,3,g1)
g3 = u(3,3,g2)
...
G = u(3,3,g63)
You are given that u(3,3,2)=7625597484987 to check your code.

Introduction
Cacti come in various different sizes, shapes and colors. However, the most iconic cactus and must-have in every Western has to be the saguaro. Important features are its size and arms, which have defined the stereotypical cactus appearence.

Implement a function which given X returns a new copy Y that has a column named 'prevalence' holding the correctly computed prevalence values. Although there is an easy solution, you should apply "apply" function.
(prevalence = cases/population)
I do something like that which doesn't work.
Y = ...
how about this for a challenge? Given a movie rating (G, PG etc.) and a percentage threshold, return a movie with that rating and at least that score from rottentomatoes
This is a simple(ish) web scraping challenge.
Input
Your code should take an MPAA film rating and a number from 0 to 100 as input. It can do this in any way you find convenient.
Output
Your code should return the name of any movie with that film rating and at least the numerical score on the ...
also you shouldn't hardcode stuff if it's not kolmogorov-complexity so it would change the entire question and applicable policies, not just spec if you do that
and btw hardcoding would still make awfully long code unless you have some really weird builtin
@Maltysen You can write it in any language -- I just was trying it in python to learn it better. He was disappointed since almost everyone used python despite listing that they know C/C++ NOBODY used those even though that will be the language they use if they get a job --
@Fatalize I admire J for its relative purity and consistency compared to APL, it just doesn't have APL's beautiful symbols or easy-to-use built-in utils.
@JohnDvorak Or use the onscreen language bar, or use ride and enter ``name_of_function_or_glyph But memorizing them is really easy. I bet I could teach you 90% in an hour.
@Fatalize Because the main point of making proper support for scripting (what I'm working on right now) is to make APL more accessible and familiar to the world "out there".
@Adám speaking of accessibility, is there an APL equivalent to Learn X in Y Minutes or Rust by Example? I'd like to get into APL, but the Dyalog guide seems a little long-winded
@NickClifford I'll be happy to help. Head over to the APL chat room and have a look at the starred messages there. Should be plenty of material to get you started if you don't want a live session with me.
@Adám thanks for offering! a little busy at the moment, so I probably won't have time for a live session, but I'll make sure to check out the APL chat!
