Find the winner (W or B) for the given chess board. If there isn't a King in checkmate position output N. You have to make several assumptions: The given boards are legal and are assuming the official Chess rules In every board there is a winner (no draws) or the board is not terminal (the game ...

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Determine if a number is base n heavy Given a positive integer and a base number, determine if the number is heavy in that base. Examples When we convert 100 to base 2 (binary), we get 1100100 \$\log_{10}(100) = 2\$, and there are at least 2 ones (the max number in the base) on one end. Scoring ...

Bgil Midol

Feedback?

Bubbler

You haven't really specified what heavy is

Bgil Midol

@Bubbler It's in the examples section.

Bubbler

No, it's far from enough. Exactly how many "max number in the base"s are needed to be considered heavy? Does it depend on the base or not?

The description should be complete without help of examples

Bgil Midol

better?

Bubbler

12:48 AM

You want b-1s, not bs. Also, what if log10(n) is not an integer?

Bgil Midol

@Bubbler round down

Bubbler

Really? I would expect to round up because the smallest whole number >= log10(n) is log10(n) rounded up.

As you already use MathJax at that part, you could add floor (or ceiling) notation on that to make the rounding direction clearer

Bgil Midol

@Bubbler which part?

Bubbler

\$ \log_{10}(n) \$

into \$ \lfloor \log_{10}(n) \rfloor \$

You have double backslash

wut y i got 1 downvote

@AncientSwordRage i thot u said it was gd

Bubbler

You don't need to worry about 1 downvote in general

DialFrost

still...

it means the public doesnt rly approve of it

Unrelated String

it means one person doesn't like it

DialFrost

and someone also downvoted my hello world post

sad

i think someone finding all my posts and downvoting or smh

Unrelated String

targeted voting tends to get automatically reversed

DialFrost

2:43 AM

its only 2 tho so :/

Unrelated String

but if it's two votes it's
probably not

DialFrost

sigh

lyxal

The hello world was probably downvoted because it's a duplicate of codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/223979/78850

Q: Pretty print my arrays

I like to pretty print multidimensional arrays, like this: [ [ [1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6] ], [ [7, 8, 9], [6, 4, 2] ] ] But it's a pain to do by hand and it'd be nice to have a program that does this for me. Your challenge is to create a program that does this for me, taking a multidimension...

Half-and-half I gues

If anyone wants to break ties, it's the last chance to cast a vote.

(and yeah, we can halve rewards if necessary, but still)

Aiden Chow

@Bubbler hehe i havent voted yet, time to break all the ties

emanresu A

Any idea how we organise the bounty-giving?

@AidenChow time to get comment vote limited :(

Aiden Chow

ok i broke the ties for all of them :D

5:34 AM

In the last years, the users who offered the rep gathered in a separate chatroom and decided who'd give rep to which post

and if the awardee is not an answer (could be a question or a user), we invite the respective user to ask which post to put the bounty

emanresu A

There was one highly voted nomination in which the author had no answers and was inactive

But it's not winning so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bubbler

If that happens, we simply can't award the bounty. That's a shame but it's how SE works (or doesn't work)

emanresu A

I think I'm gaining more rep then I'm offering from this

Bubbler

That's a good thing :P

Any mods to lock the post at the announced time?

Well, one was uncontested, I think caird equally deserves the award for another, and the third was pure luck... maybe one is legit lol

@Bubbler caird insisted you alone should have the award for the second one

Jan 20 at 20:27, by caird coinheringaahing

@pxeger For what it's worth, regarding this nomination, I think the nomination should go to Bubbler entirely, rather than voting for either Bubbler or me. My original idea for some form of Advent of Code was different to what Bubbler actually did (and I intend to run that event for Dec 2022), and Bubbler did most of the work in making my suggestion into a reality.

(yay, chat search is working again!)
