@Bubbler ah, but do we have a challenge which is to write a program which adds two numbers in one language but performs a primality test in other?

ugh, tfw you click on "show 1 more comment" and you click and 1 comment actually disappears... codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/214291/17602

What is the consensus here for code sharing between two asked for functions? E.g. codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/214277/95594 – can I declare table in the first function and use it in the second? Couldn't find the answer in Meta.

Bubbler

@xash I don't remember any discussion on meta about that either. In such case, you should ask the challenge author for clarification.

Yeah I ask each time and often get different responses

@cairdcoinheringaahing I've reported it and a CM should look into it soonish

it looks to be an actual bug, since the privilege page still displays it as 1

Bubbler

Ideally it'd be great to have "see vote counts" at 1 rep too

Jo King

... I dunno if they'll let us change "Established users" to 1 rep

Bubbler

(When a userscript allows to circumvent the restriction over entire SE, why keep the restriction at all?)

Jo King

@Bubbler Probably because it's expensive

Though we're a small enough that it shouldn't really matter

And it also says "It's possibly something we could do on demand", which already works that way, and AFAIK it works on SO, the heaviest site on the network

@Shaggy what's going on here? petershaggynoble.github.io/Japt-Interpreter/…

Lyxal

@Razetime have you tried removing the flag?

Because it seems removing the flag helps

Yeah you should definitely try removing the flag

@Razetime did you remove the flag?

Razetime

ok just did 👍

Lyxal

Good

@NewSandboxedPosts :o wowie that's my epic sandbox post :pogchamp:

Shaggy

@Razetime Yep, as @Lyxal pointed out it was the -x flag, which reduces an array by addition before outputting. You can replace the mX{ at the beginning with £.

Q: Can you solve maximum gap for a chain of elements in SQL?

I have a chain of elements each having a max gap to next. So I want to calculate the "distance" matrix. So take the following 4 element: example_id,id,max_gap 0,0,2 0,1,5 0,2, 0,3,4 then the max_gap between each element should be the following for this example example_id,id,max_gap 0,0,0,0 0,0,...

Q: Day of Week - Natural language processing and date parsing

You'll get a human-readable question matching one of the following syntaxes, and are expected to print the corresponding result. Finding similarities between the human-readable inputs and matching them with minimum size code is explicitly part of the task, so I won't give a formal definition. "W...

I know it's old, but does anyone else think this is severely lacking detail (as pointed out be xnor), and seems to be asking for an unobservable requirement in that k must be of the form ax+b?

This is the oldest non-closed code bowling challenge. Let's fix that :p

(It lacks a lot of clarity, and for some reason wants all answers to be public domain (?))

> Readability: 25 for legible, 50 for very clear

Man I keep getting myself kicked of the recent Suggested Edits review thing cause of my tag edits :(

Redwolf Programs

We have found the perfect scoring criterion at long last :p

caird coinheringaahing

4:24 PM

@RedwolfPrograms Just a reminder that if the scoring criteria is the main issue with a challenge, we do have a specific VTC reason for that

As it looks like you're going through code-bowling questions looking for close-worthy ones :P

Redwolf Programs

Just the two oldest, no reason to close a bunch at a time

But I ran into the first one with the random button, noticed how bad it was (by today's standards), then thought "I wonder if there're any others"

caird coinheringaahing

I really should use the random button more :/

Although, is it possible @RedwolfPrograms to have it able to open the question in a new tab if you shift-click it (like a normal link)? That's the main reason I don't usually use it tbh

Redwolf Programs

Actually, never thought about that. I'll update it.

Wait, shift click? I always used control click.

caird coinheringaahing

Uh, might be control click

some button + click

Wow, that was a bad spelling

Redwolf Programs

Done

As you probably know, there is a Sandbox meta post for users to post potential Code Golf posts. Users can get advice and have their post reviewed with meta votes. I want to know when the biggest meta review feedback vs actually posting on the main site feedback difference happened. For example, a...
