A: List of bounties with no deadline

sporeball100 reputation for a naz answer to Is this number a prime? I've been posting answers written in my language naz since the beginning of the year, but without a working primality test, it still technically doesn't fit our definition of a programming language. I still take a stab at this problem f...

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

newbieSimilar Numbers code-golf number [TODO: is there a better way to parapharse it?] We consider two integers to be similar if, when written in decimal, have the same length. Also, if we consider the two same characters in both decimal strings, they must have the same comparison result (first less ...

@NewBountiesWithNoDeadlines Aaah! I'm crazy for the bounty!

I'm regret the decision that I didn't learn naz in the first place. Now I'm totally unused to the language...

Q: Another Similar Number?

newbieWe consider two integers to be similar if, when written in decimal, have the same length, and if we compare characters in any two positions for both decimal strings, the comparison results (less, equal or greater) must be the same in both strings. Formally, for two number that can be written as ...

I have hoped that you'll do something cool, but unfortunately you haven't.
 
who ?
I was hoping this chatroom would become much busier over the lockdown!
but it seems it hasn't, unless anyone can prove me wrong
 
Everyone in this 4-hour interval.
What can we do, since we're active?
 
solve my CMCs :)
 
CMC: Check whether two strings have a levenshtein distance of 1 in exactly 19 bytes.
 
"Code-bowling is a competition to solve a particular (usually simple) problem in the most bytes or complexity."
that's a weird definition
 
12:12 PM
That brings me to a new CMC idea.
CMC: Write a program checking the symmetrical difference of two sets. Because we want the simplest program, the symmetrical difference of the odd characters of your program with the even characters of your program will be your score, the smaller the better.
 
12:42 PM
ruby, zero score in 30 bytes: ->a,b{(a-b)+ (b-a)}##-{a,b+ >}
 
CMC Check whether two strings have Levenshtein distance at most 10 in linear time.

Q: Would it be possible to farm out a challenge idea?

AJFaradayThis is kind of an idea from the top of my head: Background: I've devised an Easter-themed challenge (egg hunt, combined with catching the easter bunny). It's a fully formed and logically described idea, honestly it shouldn't take long to produce. BUT I don't have the time. I just won't be ...

HI all
 
1:09 PM
hi
 
How's it going?
 
alive :)
and you?
 
Busy, tired, but yeah, alive
 
1:39 PM
Busyness is the state of being busy.
 
So's parenthood ;)
 
Business ('bɪzɪːnɪs), however, is the activity of being "busy" (making/buying).
hood-hood is the state of being a hood.
 
I am, then, in a state of busiscity
 
Seriously? You're reading all of my nonsense?
 
It's kind of hypnotic :p
 
1:57 PM
Would it be possible to farm out a challenge idea? Yes!
Bury your challenge idea in a farm and then forget about it.
(Am I taking things too literally...)
 
The vast majority of data is impure. Because they aren't written in PureScript.
(PureScript is an unpopular functional language anyway.)
Is it okay to / ask for Github Pull Requests / for a King of the Hill?
 
Yeah, I decided against that after the responses to that question.
 
(ty), you made the (Boun)(ty) (boun)d.
@AJFaraday I am writing a haiku with modifications of your question text.
I see that you already went to bed/ being busy.
 
Sorry, reading the nonsense again
 
It doesn't really sound right. Is it okay to / ask for Github Pull Requests / for a King of Hill?
 
2:12 PM
The Nineteenth bytr is a typo.
Wow! I haven't realized that! The length of the chatroom name The Nineteenth Byte is exactly 19 bytes!
 
Sounds like someone would have really enjoyed coming up with that
 
Then go ahead and come up with one!

AJFaradayChase the Easter Bunny around the garden, and grab as many eggs as you can. In this instance, the garden is a 2-dimensional grid with 49 rows and 49 columns. The Easter Bunny™️ is in the center of the garden, minding his own business, holding on to 100 Easter eggs. He'll hop away from where the...

 
Challenge name idea: Is it a main number?
 
2:29 PM
Fine if you can define main number
 
A main number's mode digit appears as the first digit of the number.
I want to write an interpreter for the set theory (to use it in golfing). But I haven't started yet.
 
Sounds super-involved
 
(By the way, the set theory is my favorite mathematical concept.)
It's surely amazing how just a ZF expression is capable of expressing every possible concept in mathematics.

Wow, got a downvote (and no comments) here. The only problem I see is that I didn't explain, but in my opinion that only justifies not upvoting...
 
11:26 PM
@ChristianSievers Just get used to it. People have different tastes and choices on what they do.
(Such behavior in the sandbox is another issue, though...)
 
@ChristianSievers I highly suspect that someone has accidentally downvoted
High emphasis on accidentally
Because sometimes, on mobile, I've scrolled past an answer and accidentally clicked downvote
And then I panic once I realise what I've done and change it to an upvote
