one way to get rep is to lurk on stack overflow during active times and wait for trivial questions in things you know about (python and java for me) and ninja everyone else and get an accept :P many rep and no cap because accepts aren't capped :D :D :D
Then again, I was also expecting to get the socratic badge next like a year ago, and two people have beaten me when I was only like 7 challenges away lol
@cairdcoinheringaahing Most definitely not. You have no idea how often perfectly good posts are flagged VLQ because they don't have any explanation or anything.
Hello everyone! I am new around here and want to hear the opinions of more experienced users: looking for an ascii-only golf-lang. I wonder which one I should pick. I heard about Pyth, CJam or Golfscript, unsure which is better for golfing? Thoughts?
@cairdcoinheringaahing I prefer ascii only because my keyboard is terrible with control keys (i.e unicode), and CMD+F is quite malfunctional on Chrome :-/
Can anyone explain how the following code actually works? In theory, it should end in an error stating that I 'Must declare the table variable "@t".'
IF 1 = 0
DECLARE @t TABLE (id INT, id2 INT, id3 INT);
INSERT INTO @t
SELECT 1,
2,
3;
SELECT *

@IanGödel Husk had a streak where it annihilated Jelly, but now it tends not to win. I'm working on a golfing language to match/beat Jelly in most situations though. Trust me, it's difficult :P
Newcomers to PPCG are often compelled to ask what many of our abbreviations and terms mean. Let us list them here so this information always will be easily available.
@cairdcoinheringaahing Sorry about asking for stars, but I truly believe it is for the common good in this case; to save us from having to answer the same questions over and over.
@cairdcoinheringaahing Nah, I think it is fine. I promote the APL room a lot too. In fact, APL and JHT tend to be the most active rooms in their category.
Yeah, it takes a bit of time to actually get going. Just remember. Don't think that creating other accounts to upvote your posts will work. It doesn't. Trust me :P
CMC (maybe going to main): Given a birth-survival rule, simulate game of life with that rule in application. For example, normal GoL is B3/S23 (3 adjacent cells to be born, and 2 or 3 to survive).
I'm just curious about whether any of you have a real-world use for your golfing skills. I'd also be interested to hear if you know of golf-related jobs even if you aren't involved in them, or if you have areas of your life where golfing has been required for practical purposes.
CMC: Given 3 strings, replace all occurrences of the second string in the first string with the third string. Example: "testing", "t", "hello" => "helloeshelloing"
@IanGödel Unfortunately, the most basic system in Jelly is the arity of an atom. Each atom is either a nilad (0 arguments), a monad (1 argument) or a dyad (2 arguments). String replacement is a triadic (3 argumens) function, which Jelly doesn't have.
@cairdcoinheringaahing Since to survive, a cell must already be alive, S could be taken as the count of all live cells in the 3×3 box, including itself.
CMC: Given a String, get each 2 elements, then each 3 elements, then each 4 (from the beggining) until you reach the length of the string. For example: "abcdefghijklmno" -> ['acegikmo', 'adgjm', 'aeim', 'afk', 'agm', 'aho', 'ai', 'aj', 'ak', 'al', 'am', 'an', 'ao', 'a']. Then, concatenate the result altogether: acegikmoadgjmaeimafkagmahoaiajakalamanaoa.
This is a more difficult version of It's a find-a-movie challenge .
Input
Your code should take a BBFC rating and a number from 1 to 5 as input. It can do this in any way you find convenient.
Output
Your code should return the name of any movie which has a) that film rating and b) that numbe...
@cairdcoinheringaahing Dyalog APL, 38 chars: {(n∊B)∨(5⊃,⍵)∧S∊⍨n←+/0@5,⍵}⌺3 3⊃⍞B S←⎕ (prompts for three element list StartState,B,S prints next state to STDOUT and echoes StartState to STDERR)
@Lembik hmm...I'm really unsure as to whether having to register a "developer key" (or maybe even a "commercial key") counts as something similar to "using non-free languages" but for APIs instead
