it's something that you're too american to understand

Green-head ant

The green-head ant (Rhytidoponera metallica), also known as the green ant or metallic pony ant, is a species of ant that is endemic to Australia. It was described by British entomologist Frederick Smith in 1858 as a member of the genus Rhytidoponera in the subfamily Ectatomminae. These ants measure between 5 to 7 mm (0.20 to 0.28 in). The queens and workers look similar, differing only in size, with the males being the smallest. They are well known for their distinctive metallic appearance, which varies from green to purple or even reddish-violet. Among the most widespread of all insects in Australia...

they hurt real bad

trust me you don't want to be bitten by one of these sussy bakas like I was today

Should this be tagged underhanded?

Fmbalbuena's proposed adding the popularity-challenge, which I've voted to approve, but not sure if any other tagging should be changed

Having both code-challenge and popularity-contest probably isn't needed

hyper-neutrino

hm, not sure, cuz you're not really writing code that does something different than what it looks, you're writing code that does exactly what it looks like it does but causes other code written with it to behave incorrectly

Redwolf Programs

> ... by making a subtle, hard to find "bug"

Seems close enough to me

6:16 PM

Can't we just delete the thing or something?

hyper-neutrino

i don't care much either way it's been dead for almost 11 years (and was only active for a month) and has very few views so we wouldn't lose much, but i don't see a particular reason to delete it either

in fact i'm inclined to reject the edit because it doesn't help with anything and it bumps a post that should be dead, but I'm worried I'll lock fmbalbuena out of edit suggestions again so i've approved it since it's not like the edit is bad/harmful in any way

no

Seems to take the product of the input (Π), make a range to that product (implicitly done by ƛ), then for each number x in that range (ƛ) it pushes the input onto the stack with ? and uses ẏ to get the indices, then adds those indices to that number x

Correct me if I'm wrong emanresu

Nope, you're fine

And your saying indices helped, so thanks!

Read that backwards: "6102 s'tI"

Python's string interpolation is so annoying. I can't even do f"asdf{"foo" if cond else "bar"}" without a syntax error

Redwolf Programs

tbf that is a bit of an ambiguous situation

I would expect f-strings and the like to be special-cased in the parser

Scala can handle interpolated strings like that perfectly well, so it's certainly not impossible to do

Redwolf Programs

True

"Eh good enough" doesn't seem characteristic of Python though :(
