The sequence $T_{2,m}$ in Guy's 1967 paper A problem of Zarankiewicz describes the maximum size of a collection of $4$-subsets of $\{1,\dots,m\}$ such that every $3$-subset is in at most two of the $4$-subsets. It had not been added to the OEIS until the time of my work on Zarankiewicz's problem,...
@lyxal Public pools are disgusting imho. The floors in the locker rooms are always wet with unidentifiable objects everywhere, the bathrooms are always dirty because some idiot was never toilet trained, the smell of chlorine is everywhere, and people are walking around naked. And in the pool itself, you've got people sweating and peeing and spitting right in that same water. There are bugs and random unidentifiable things in it, and the things out of which water comes are dirty and rusty
@hyper-neutrino Yeah, they now show the license beside the post in all sorts of places
They made quite a few changes after the licensing backlash
@emanresuA Licenses don't let you do anything. They let other people.
You can license something under as many licenses as you want.
The problem here was that SE was changing the licensing on our behalf, and no longer showed that the posts had been licensed under CC 3.0 (since anyone using an old post under that license is still legally allowed to do so)
@AaroneousMiller I realized that my algorithm was flawed, and would only work for certain numbers, so I came up with a better algorithm, and got exactly 1 more testcase correct :/
@thejonymyster They're sort of related: the messages all have to do with tinylisp being LotM (most of them are edit notifications on the list of tinylisp answers); the rep is an upvote on one of my old tinylisp answers.
I have a requirement, this is simulating theatre ticket booking experience.
Requirement:
Input given will be in form of a 2D array
Second input will be no of tickets to be filled
Fill People front row to back, starting from left to right.
Fill the aisle first, then the corners of the theatre the...
Intro
Two numbers are a reversed multiple pair if they satisfy the following property:
$$
a\times b = reversed( (a-1)\times b )
$$
Here, \$reversed()\$ means to reverse the digits of a number (e. g 123 becomes 321.)
Example
$$
a=6, b=9,
6\times9=54,5\times9=45
$$
As you can see, \$45\$ is the rev...
@l4m2 That message is part of a conversation about how votes and views work, and therefore is not spam, even though the conversation was inspired by a spam post. However, I'm sure a room owner would be happy to trash it if you want them to. :)
It's not really a cc, the message just pings user and then when they look at their pings they'll realize Redwolf was drawing their attention to the message above it.
@mathcat I've used Learn X in Y Minutes for a few different languages, and I've found it to be pretty good. I haven't checked out their Scala tutorial, but I would assume that it is of similar quality
In Q3 2021 I finalized my research around three vote close/reopen and I was pretty happy with the outcomes - as were the sites that got to test it out. While the benefit to each site was different, the most important thing was that there were no negative impacts of that test and all of the sites ...
Originally we had implemented keyboard shortcuts as a user script. We have now finally made the change to have them integrated into the site.
When you go to the Edit Profile & Settings page on your profile, and then select the Preferences submenu, you’ll find a new checkbox labeled Enable keyboa...
Let's say that there is a standard code-golf question where you:
Have to find a solution that satisfies some constraints (eg. a math equation, etc.)
Or, if a solution doesn't exist, output the nonexistence of a solution (by erroring, returning -1, etc.)
There are no explicitly stated limits to the
Personally, I agree that as people get better at closing, they should get a little extra power/weight on their vote, but I'm not sure about a metric to measure "getting better at closing"
Over the coming weeks, we will be making some changes to the menu that allows you to sort the answers to a given question. We are making these changes based on a user survey that indicates that the names on the current sorting menu are confusing. This work is also part of the Outdated Answers pro...
Newest sort should be really nice for this site - too often answers get buried when sorting by score, and bumps/explanation edits can push them down when sorting by active as well
Given a ragged list of positive integers, where the maximum depth is \$d_\text{max}\$, return the same list, except for every element \$e\$, its depth is \$d_\text{max}+1-d_e\$ (where \$d_e\$ is the depth of that element).
Your output should contain the minimal number of brackets, and you can ass...
@emanresuA on request i don't even use my close hammer here much; having more weight given to people who are more trustworthy and experienced is a change i greatly welcome
Prime Number Fibonacci
In this challenge, you will make a program that calculates the Fibonacci sequence with a twist. Instead of it starting with 0 and 1, it starts with the nth prime number determined by input by the user. The second number is the nth+1 prime number. The sequence should also st...
The prime numbers
We have 226 questions about prime numbers at the time of writing. Almost every single one of these involves some adaptation of the “canonical prime checking code” or the “canonical prime generator”. Primes are notorious for not really conforming to any mathematical symmetry in ...
I try not to abuse my dupe hammer - I generally wait until someone agrees with me.
If you get a gold tag badge before 3000 rep, do you still get a hammer?
(It is possible to do so, as far as I can tell: Post one answer and get thousands of upvotes on the same day, so you're capped at 200 rep. Then post a ton of 0-score answers)
LOLCODE is an esoteric programming language inspired by lolspeak, the language expressed in examples of the lolcat Internet meme. The language was created in 2007 by Adam Lindsay, researcher at the Computing Department of Lancaster University.The language is not clearly defined in terms of operator priorities and correct syntax, but several functioning interpreters and compilers exist. One interpretation of the language has been proven Turing-complete.
== Language structure and examples ==
LOLCODE's keywords are drawn from the heavily compressed (shortened) patois of the lolcat Internet meme. Here...
I've upvoted it, not necessarily cause I agree with not rolling it back (I'm indifferent either way), but because I'm happy it shows clear evidence that SE is listening and reacting to feedback on changes
You may disagree with the change all you want, i don't really care. But, it's clear that they've gone over the feedback provided, and have shown real effort in balancing their attempts to fix their code debt and add responsiveness, while being yelled at by hundreds of users. To ignore that because "oh look, a 1 got typed as a 2, pff", nah, stop with that bs
Yeah, the "carefully written" means "We're trying to write this as fairly as possible, showing that we really do respect your feedback, and that it isn't flippantly telling you no"
Different understandings of the work "carefully" I guess
