CMC: My fiber provider offers to replace the remaining 4 months of my ¤27/month plan with 12 months of ¤34/month. After 4 months (if I stay on my current plan) or 12 months (if I accept the offer), I can continue at ¤33/month. Should I accept the offer?
CBigC: In Javascript, given an image (or just a 2D array of "colours"), what's the best way of finding the largest contiguous region of constant colour?
@EriktheOutgolfer No it isn't. I really don't care about the speed. "Up to 50 Mb" is more than plenty. They tried to convince me by telling me my current speed is only good for up to 5 devices, even though I had just told them we're only 4 in my family (and two are small kids).
Consider the following alphabetically sorted list of words:
balderdash
ballet
balloonfish
balloonist
ballot
brooding
broom
All of the words start with b, and the first 5 start with bal. If we just look at the first 2 words:
balderdash
ballet
we could write instead:
balderdash
+let

@BetaDecay I'm not even sure what we are using it for. I think it is primarily for video conference calls, as our CDN and all outwards facing servers are in a off-site data centre.
The Hamming distance between two strings of equal length is the number of positions at which the corresponding characters are different. If the strings are not of equal length, the Hamming distance is not defined.

@EriktheOutgolfer Oh, Downgoat used ´ instead of `. (I had read it as '.) Well that explains it. On many keyboards, that's just a matter of missing the Shift key.
@ASCII-only With the amount of characters it supports, I find it hard to believe that a character in any of those extended ascii's wouldn't be covered.
By extended ascii, I always mean Latin-1 supplement
@Mayube Relatively few, but those that do are not about to switch to something else. While I am not allowed to mention our biggest customers, Volvo Penta, SimCorp, and the European Commission come to mind…
@EriktheOutgolfer Right. I guess that the two biggest ones fear that their competitors (they rank number 1 and number 3 worldwide in their respective fields) will pick up a hint to their success. The one that ranks number 1 educates its own future APLers, but the one that ranks number 3 hopes that our student competition will bring forth APL neophytes, and so they ██████ the competition by ███████ the ████ ██████.
@Zacharý I'm actually not much of a user. I've never written a full scale application in APL!
