@Fmbalbuena The interest check felt to us like a way to try to rush the community past its anger at SE and replace the old mod team, thus silencing complaints and making the situation stable enough for them to keep ignoring us.
The timing and the wording angered a lot of people thus drawing so many downvotes.
Even though DJ specifically personally requested it from the CMs, it still left a bad taste.
Task
Implement a kind of "some users are typing" system, which can be found in Discord and some other chat clients.
If 1 user (say, Bubbler) is typing, output Bubbler is typing...
If 2 users (say, Bubbler and user) are typing, output Bubbler and user are typing...
If 3 or more users are typing (...
@NewPosts See. The problem with Bubbler's challenges is that its a lot harder to find stuff to edit. Meaning that, if I answer, its a lot harder to get 1/500th closer to Illuminator :P
@NewPosts I have rewritten my explanation to this 3 times, all the time staying at 47 bytes, because I keep finding "cleaner" versions of my Jelly code ಠ_ಠ
@pxeger Are you going to be somewhat available for a Zsh LYAL if we "redo" it in 2 weeks? If not, we can pick a different lang, and redo Zsh at a better time
How to get some badges and rep: 1) post a simple challenge in sandbox 2) wait until it gets to +5 3) move it to main 4) watch it gain upvotes 5) ??? 6) Profit
TIL I have the locations of keys so ingrained in my muscle memory I can pretend to type on a desk or a piece of paper and I still know exactly where all the keys would be. I don't use the home row thing, I move my fingers to each key.
So in theory I can type with my eyes closed or looking away, which is what I'm doing right now
@pxeger Well yeah, it would be certainly possible by adjusting something else, but then you might as well not need to choose that language in the first place lol
All distances different on a chessboard

Inspired by this Puzzling SE question: All distances different on a chess board.
Introduction
Lets define a sequence \$a(n), n\ge 1\$ as how many pawns can you put on a \$n \times n\$ chessboard in such a way that all the distances...
@RedwolfPrograms I can do you one "better": In 7th grade, I started using Nitrotype, and I wanted to improve my typing skills, so I had the brilliant idea of typing in the air to practice. Somehow, that later turned into me typing random phrases I read over and over without realizing it. It's hard to explain, but now I find myself grouping chunks of those phrases, dividing them into 2 and inserting presses of the shift key to keep them even without being able to help it :\

> Because enums values are actually objects, it's currently not possible to use them as array keys. There is an RFC to change this behaviour, but it hasn't been voted yet.
ah, typical PHP: omitting one of the most important features of a feature
@user Well as of 3 days ago, PHP is managed by the PHP Foundation, which was founded by JetBrains and is an assembly of various major PHP projects, such as Laravel, Symfony, and Zend. As far as I can tell changes are decided upon by members of the foundation voting on RFCs, with a default threshold of 2/3rds yes votes to pass
So I guess either the foundation considers PHP's type system to be strong enough for strict typing, or they plan to fix it as they implement strict typing
There is a string, format is like this:
1-2,11,44:110-113/321:11-13/401-403:33,45-46,111-113/511:13/
The '/' splits the string into 4 parts, I shorted the string, actually there might be 40 parts for example.
Each part contains only one ':' in it and has to be one, the ':' splits the into 2 sub...
@Mayube Wouldn't they return everything below someone's head?
I know in some contexts tail is the last element or the last 5 elements, but the specific definition of tail I'm using here is tail = a => a[1 : len(a)]
@cairdcoinheringaahing /disapprove
Catgirls are linked lists, though, according to the Mayube Hypothesis
@user Nikita Pipov, one of the lead contributors to PHP throughout PHP 7 and 8, works for JetBrains. Part of the reason the PHP foundation was founded is that he's moving away from PHP toward Rust.
JetBrains had been toying with the idea of a PHP Foundation, slowly putting the pieces together, since May. When Nikita announced he was leaving at the end of the year, they kicked it into gear and got the ball rolling. source
