It attracts/attracted tons of low-effort, duplicate answers; it created a broken window for restricted-source; and it's so highly upvoted that people think it's a good example of a question here
This challenge is about writing code to solve the following problem.
Given two strings A and B, your code should output the start and end indices of a substring of A with the following properties.
The substring of A should also match some substring of B.
There should be no longer substring of ...
Currently, the system protects any challenge that either:

Has multiple answers from new users within a short amount of time
We already have a policy that basically says "99.99% of questions here do not need to be protected". In short, we encourage answering ...
Yeah, I'll consider that. (Although the above complaint doesn't apply to BitCycle but to the new language I'm working on.)
In re: BitCycle, I've been working on implementing a character I/O mode, and finding that there's lots of little choices and I don't know which is best.
For example: should the bits in each byte be output least-significant-first or most-significant-first?
My initial inclination was to do most-significant-first, like you did in your submissions. But then I thought about making a program to output all characters, and realized that writing a binary incrementer would be a lot easier (I think) if it's least-significant-first.
@DLosc Okay, I think I figured it out. The width of the textarea's content is 100%. But the 2px of padding and 1px of border don't count as content, so those are over and above the 100%.
if you could enforce that all python functions were basically statically typed maybe with type annotations, and you didn't do anything too crazy like eval/exec it would probably be doable but still very hard
@Dudecoinheringaahing In terms of users, you can see the top 300 users on the Recent Changes page. As for the most protected questions, the most protected questions are all ones that we have decided to close. The large number of protected questions is because we have to protect the question while we read it. After we read it, we can edit the status of the question to open or closed.
I'm on a school chromebook so they try to get blocked, but the blocker doesn't recognize them as image urls, so it returns an html page redirecting to their website
