Maybe the lumenspire promotion could be placed outside the code block? That way you can format the link properly and it wouldn't take as much space with the blank line
like, a flag that pushes 100 at the start of the program can only be abused. There's almost no reason that you can't just do that in within the actual program
hence the downvotes (with some upvotes sprinkled in)
@JoKing fwiw the H flag has only been used about 3 times for challenges where the answer is already going to be trivial (with one exception where it's used for novelty). Version 3 won't have it because it's just not even useful
But even if you use the old system where you have to add the length of the flags to the bytecount, flags in Thunno 2/Vyxal will sometimes save you bytes
It's not just for this system where flags are free
@JoKing well, in vyxal, the programme □∑ returns the correct result for a sum of numbers. But then, adding the HṪ flags make it return an incorrect result for a sum of numbers.
Background
You have again x3 been given the task of calculating the number of landmines in a field. But this time, we have no landmine number, and some landmines have exploded.
You must calculate the landmine score given a string of numbers. This is the landscape.
You have no landmine number to s...
@PlaceReporter99 i didn't downvote that one though
i mean, i didn't upvote it either, since the flags don't seem necessary and it feels like you're trying to make it underhanded rather than actually golfing it
I don't really know what the link should point to though, I don't have seperate pages for each builtin and building all of them would be significant effort for single sentence explanations
I'd like to link to the original wiki but it doesn't have ids set in a way that allows me to easily link to one specific builtin
@mousetail you don't need to have a separate page for each. Just have like a yaml/json/whatever file mapping built in to single sentence and dynamically render the page
\$n\$ bottles of beer!
You want to recreate the song "99 Bottles of Beer", but you don't have 99 bottles!
Given an input non-negative integer \$n\$, output the lyrics to the song "99 Bottles of Beer" but starting from \$n\$ instead. For example:
Input: 10
Output:
10 bottles of beer on the wal...
Chamber of Reflection
Background
A ray of light is fired from the top left vertex of an MxN Chamber, where M a denotes the width and N denotes the height of the chamber. The ray of light advances one grid space per second. Given that T is the time frame, calculate the number of reflections in thi...
Conway's Game of Life is a cellular automaton "played" on an infinite grid, filled with cells that are either alive or dead. Once given an initial state, the board evolves indefinitely according to the following rules:
Any live cell with 2 or 3 living neighbours lives to the next state
Any dead ...
@mousetail That's really neat, but unfortunately, it causes underlining of the code characters, which is problematic for APL that has both ∊ and ⍷ and both ⍳ and ⍸ and both ⊂ and ⊆.
@mousetail Long press normally selects the text; on mobile, it's impossible to select a link except by selecting some non-link text near it and then moving the cursor.

I never fully learned sq1, just like the back and white opposite sides many have
I wonder if stickering my gan megaminx is gonna be hard with those indented corner pieces
@Bbrk24 I never remember that there are five corners per color so when I do bear paws I see three wrong ones and then when I see the fourth with the required color I insert it before remembering it is not the right one :)
though I'm, like, a couple weeks in, I'm sure I'll get used to it
still doing beginner method + some f2l and s2l for simple cases
I think I'm in the three minutes range, sub 3:30 ao5s
Numbers you can negate by reading backwards
Balanced tenary is a modified version of tenary (base 3), using the three digits 1,0 and -1 (written as T) to represent numbers.
To negate a balanced tenary number you simple have to replace 1 by T and T by 1.
Examples:
1 // decimal: 1
T // deci...
