@cairdcoinheringaahing a new submission must have golfed submissions for at least 2 of the problems, by at least 1 byte for each. Is it OK if 2 of them get shorter by 1 byte, but some other ones get longer?
as in, multiple people post the answer at the same time, and some people will have to remove their hard-worked interpreters because they weren't fast enough
I'm not really sure either, I've just seen it in every other answer-chaining challenge I've seen (including the first one IIRC)
@DJMcMayhem Allowing people to answer with the language, but forcing them to specify which version of the interpreter they used could prevent that (cc @Zacharý)
@cairdcoinheringaahing let me try to make myself clearer with an example, how do you prevent situations like this, person Y answers just 3 seconds after person X answers
@cairdcoinheringaahing One more idea. Can You may not post twice in a row expire after some time? That way, if someone wants to keep it going longer, they could keep updating the language if no one else beats them too it
@Cowsquack I don't think that can be prevented, but removing the You must wait an hour between posts would make it suck less when it happens (cc. @cairdcoinheringaahing)
@cairdcoinheringaahing Fair enough. How about 1 week to make it a nice even number?
@cairdcoinheringaahing BTW, in case I forgot to say this too, I think it's an excellent challenge. There's still some nitpicking to be done, but I'm really excited for it
What are you calling inside your bash script? Maybe bash is just passing along whatever error signal it received. Like this page says 153 is "file size limit exceeded" for whatever program the batch is running.
Challenge
The input will be a string. You can assume the string contains only uppercase letters and spaces (i.e. matches regex [A-Z ]*).
You need to output the letters spelt phonetically as if they had been spoken as capitals. The output should be lowercase and split by spaces and underscores (...
@NieDzejkob Writes the input stream to a file, after sponging up the entire stream.
If you want to, for example, run expand to modify a file, you might think of doing expand foo > foo. What this will do it cause expand to destroy the file after writing one line.
expand foo | sponge foo will let expand finish and let the file be written too safely.
does page render correctly for everyone: staging.vihan.org/VSL/libvsl/test-docs (it shouldn't have much, just a list of items on the left and a title on the top)
Like imagine you had a bunch of vs and ws written in a continues line, and that's the entire word, and you have to figure out which are the vs and which are the ws
@EriktheOutgolfer In reference to the binary Fibonacci question: my point was not that the question wasn't unclear, but that it could easily be edited (by high-rep users such as you or I) and be made clear (and then probably leave a comment for the OP's benefit). When the OP's intention is easily guessable, I think a quick edit is better/less "traumatic" than going through the process of closing and reopening.
Where am I?
Given a string d, containing only the letters NSWE, determine the coordinates I've traveled (from left to right, consuming greedily) and the final coordinate where I reside.
The rules for reading coordinates from left-to-right:
If the next character is N or S:
If the character a...
@Downgoat Ahh... yeah, I used modular bootstrap. It's not half bad with sass being able to choose what modules you want to use and what you can omit. Then it automatically re-minifies.
@Downgoat Then again I don't really have another point of reference? How big is your entire CSS/JS import total?/
@Downgoat Looks fine to me. But for some odd reason, Google Chrome asked me if I wanted to translate the page. When I said yes, the font of libvsl in the heading changed slightly, but all the text stayed the same. o.0
@Downgoat Okay, yeah, that kicks my booty undoubtedly. I think last I checked I'm at like ~350kb but my site has ~2000 users max, never simultaneously hah.
We've decided that we like the idea of a "Language of the Month" event. The main idea is to get more exposure for less-frequently used languages, and to have fun learning and golfing them together. The next question is, what languages shall we choose? And that's where you come in.

@Pavel I've seen a website with 5 MB of bulk CSS/JS... Used by 10 people simultaneously and hadn't crashed in 10 years. Was like Microsoft Frontpage or something ridiculously outdated.
A well known song by the Irish rock band U2 starts with the singer Bono saying "1,2,3,14" in Spanish ("uno, dos, tres, catorce").
There are various theories as to the significance of those numbers. Apparently the official explanation is "we drank too much that night". But there's a more interest...
