Woah...Node.js is actually almost competitive with C++ in terms of performance

benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/fastest/…

Only around 4× slower in a lot of cases

Which sounds like a lot until you consider they're both hundreds of times faster than Python

(Well, unoptimized Python. Once you bring in libraries written in C and stuff, they're closer)

Vyxal's incredibly slow

Well yeah, 20922789888000 is a lot :p

@taRadvylfsriksushilani Source?

Unrelated String's sandbox post (I'm taking the ! out of context though, it's clearly not a factorial due to the mathjax)

@SandboxPosts holy fricking crap no way

Unrelated String sandboxing a challenge for later posting?!

Guys I think there's something wrong with the simulation :p

bit over a year ago

which you actually commented on

So what you're saying is that we're not to get our hopes up? :p

@user I think it adds too the humor

@SandboxPosts damn history right here :P

Get ninja'd

@cairdcoinheringaahing There are three kinds of history: history, damn history, and Unrelated String posting a challenge

posts

@DLosc history = lies, Unrelated = statistics, confirmed

@cairdcoinheringaahing And, on average, I reach approximate 1000 people per post

TIL that if you give away enough rep in bounties, your inbox doesn't give you the +10 notification when you get upvotes

@cairdcoinheringaahing wow

Second highest editor of all time. Only got 1 Wheat Wizard's worth of editing to do to catch Martin :P

@taRadvylfsriksushilani Can we get a ruling on whether this is a valid crack?

@cairdcoinheringaahing Which is crazy: Martin has almost double the number of edits as #3, mbomb, and almost 3 times the number of #4, riker. Who has ~650 edits

If you get the Copy Editor badge, you become one of 5 users to get it, and Martin still has 3 times your edits

@cairdcoinheringaahing that's interesting: so, even tho it looks like 6 users (including WW) should have Copy Editor, only 4 do. This is because /users/editors counts all edits, including tag edits (and I think edits to your own posts, not sure). However, you can see "Edit badge contributing" edits on your profile. This is always less than or equal to edits reported on /users.

I have 836 "contributing" edits, and checking Martin and mbomb (only other users with 800+ reported), they have 773 and 807 respectively. So, I think, I'm actually the highest editor (in a way) on the site O.o

Martin's reported vs contributing edit difference is huge

@UnrelatedString Very nice! Bringing this full circle, it turns out that you joined several months after the last time I posted a challenge.

lmao nice

@DLosc I have another crack, so I'm just going to edit that in instead

On that note: Any final feedback before I post this one?

@emanresuA Fair enough
