@GLASSIC May I edit this directly? I see some typos
And the idea of "deactivation" doesn't really make sense here. It sort of conveys the idea that nodes stop reproducing entirely, which is never the case.
Renan knows that Khajiit look like customer's world Lynx. But Renan is going to base realistic Khajiit on another, smarter cat. Anatomically correct Khajiit is based on rainforest jaguar.
The reason being that jaguar is much smarter cat. Just like Khajiit, see?

I was trying to come up with a good first example for my language, till I realized that this site is chalk full of simple algorithms that can show off a language
Google Search can return the matches of some simple regular expressions.
For example, the search query
"(gray|red) (wolf|fox)"
appears to be equivalent to
("gray wolf" OR "red fox" OR "red wolf" OR "gray fox")
You can see the output of this search query here.
No search engine does "real" RegEx for queries. Only logical like Nathan's link uses. DuckDuckGo's regex is a bit more advanced, but it too just executes the RegEx on the result body and uses short-circuit logic to search.
@Sherlock9 About that. I noticed that most of the talking was happening when we were discussing something coding or golfing related. I had this idea a while ago: A PPCG podcast. Basically just a recorded hangouts session once a month or so, where a few people discuss some (previously set) topics of code (golfing).
IMO that would work fairly well with a small number of people and prepared topics.
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan Well, that doesn't matter. What matters is that in addition to the live discussion, everyone needs to record their own audio, so that one person can edit the pod afterwards.
@DrGreenEggsandIronMan I'm thinking of a structure. Like first site-related (cg), following with "just" code-related and maybe closing with personal projects or cool things someone discovered (optionally tech related things going on the world right now).
@Sherlock9 Exactly. I don't think we have to be too restrictive about the topics. The unique perspective that PPCGers tend to have is what intrigues me.
Community Wikis (CWs) seem to be an often misunderstood feature on Stack Exchange in general. For instance, I'm often seeing them used to avoid gaining reputation when the author feels they don't deserve it for whatever reason, even though that is not at all their purpose. The problem doesn't get...
@mınxomaτ so why someone should waste its computer's cpu rate and his domain to give you a 10min email with less ads and many costs ? i think that person is just wasting his money ...
Hey @Doorknob, if I wanted to ask the Code Review people if they would be interested in the podcast idea, would it be better to ask a mod about it first or ask in chat directly
Or should I just make a question about the podcast on Meta and find people to help there?

Is there a built in function that can generate a random prime number between 2 given limits in C/C++?
I want a function that can generate a random prime number between 1 million and 1 billion

You should probably get more than 5 as a regular cast though. For me personally, I don't know how hectic the upcoming year will be in terms of coursework, and I may not be able to record some months

Your task is to make a program or a function which receives no input and outputs its own source code modified (you can add, modify, or delete text) which when run with no input will output the starting source code.

@mınxomaτ Quick question: I may record on two devices just to make sure I have a backup if I mess up. If parts of both audio files are good, but all of either, is it okay to send you both?
I posted a question on meta regarding clarification of rules for programming languages that run on things other than sequential computers or standard turing machines; could someone that has a free moment take a look to determine if it's appropriate, and possibly weigh in? (I'm not very active here, mainly on SO, so I'm not familiar with the policies and procedures here)
So far, almost all submissions on this site are ones that target "standard" computers, namely devices that execute code in a typically linear fashion, with a standard variety of inputs/outputs (standard in/out/err, file, rendering a window). However, this seems to make programs targeting hardware...
Alright, I've done a little bit of analysis on PPCG transcripts, and the images I'm about to upload are histograms of the number of words in each message (very rough estimate - I just split the message content on spaces) from three different days (all in 2016): May 27, June 27, and July 27. Chatiquette came out June 10, for reference.
Obviously, these show a very incomplete picture of how noisy or not chat was. I'm planning on making a database of chat messages, and eventually making it public and even allowing arbitrary (read-only) SQL queries to be run against it.
@Sherlock9 Oh, I never replied. I mean that at some point, there were enough people chatting in here that it basically became self-sustaining.
It's kinda like how if you start a restaurant, you'll be much better off if you pay some people (like family and friends) to go and eat there, because who wants to go into an empty restaurant? Quality of food doesn't matter much.
I'm not sure what's more fascinating -- these graphs and statistics, or the fact that we're in a chat room geeking out about these graphs and statistics.
