@emanresuA Can the output for any of the peorgrams have leading/trailing whitespace?

emanresu A

A single trailing newline is acceptable, I feel like it's going to get abused if I allow more

One week or two weeks?

@emanresuA Am I missing something, or what stops Cops from writing a program that outputs code, then 100 programs that output some random word with changes that have no effect, then a program that outputs golf?

emanresu A

Wdym "changes that have no effect"?

caird coinheringaahing

So the outputs for the 100 programs in between are the same, but the programs change by one character each

emanresu A

True. Would saying consecutive programs have to output different words work?

You could just say that the outputs must be all unique

(totally not sabotaging my own cop attempt ಠ_ಠ)

emanresu A

DLosc said something important about that which I don't remember and the comment's been deleted

But you're right that it has potential for abuse, so I'll change it I guess

Also means cops are limited to length 200k or so chains which is probably good

The trick for CnRs (to help Socratic and similar badges) is to post one at 23:59 and the other at 00:01 :P

No rate limiting, and it counts as two days :P

OTOH if I post them a few hours before midnight I'll get some of the rep today

caird coinheringaahing

But you've only gotten +50 rep today, so you can't cap in the next 2 hours, and it means any votes you get today don't contribute tomorrow

emanresu A

True

@cairdcoinheringaahing Tbf, I've only done this once :P

Ooh nice. The Best Of categories getting lots of votes mean that I'm now at 800/1000 score and 148/200 answers for gold discussion :D

Does anyone have that?

caird coinheringaahing

Peter Taylor does

Martin is next closest, being 31 answers away. If xnor or Dennis post 71/72 more answers, they get it. If I post 52 more answers and score 201 more, I get it

Everyone else is either further away in answers, or in score

hyper-neutrino
