Yes I am cheating since it's in a different site but it makes me feel better about my self-esteem when compared to the Jon Skeet of PPCG :)
@Doorknob I may have felt a little too confident about my questions and proceeded to post my question but then had a little trouble on the way then I posted in the Sandbox...
I actually did discover how to get user-typed content, and minxomat downloaded the entire TNB transcript that way. His piece-of-junk computer lost the data though.
TIL that there's actually a web page where you can get the raw content of messages as the user typed them. Only works per message though, so far as I know. Example.
Close your tags! code-golf string
This is based off a previous deleted challenge of mine with the same name
Introduction
You are tasked with writing a program that returns a truthy or falsey value based on if the input has all its XML-like tags appropriately opened and closed. Consider the fol...
when will scientists finally get their shit together and do a proper randomized double-blind trial on whether parachute use prevents death when jumping out of airplanes?
@orlp hmm. I'm not sure if I could trust the results of a study like that. I'm pretty sure the parachute lobbyists would have their hands in it somehow
@orlp: you would need a large sample of subjects, both ones with a parachute, and ones without, to be sure... Or ask on physics.se if they can provide a reasonnable assumption (saving you a lot of lawsuits and headaches)
@Joey I accidentally spilled some coffee over my quantum computer, and my friend is using his to "hack into the US Government" or something unimportant, so, no. :( — Mateen UlhaqMay 3 '11 at 5:59
I think so. I just got a comment from the OP complaining about that though
Why do you mark my question as a duplicate of yours when your question is clearly the duplicate as it has been posted later? Please rectify this decision. — FUZxxl4 mins ago
It doesn't even fit a pseudo-language. There is no way to write any code, you just supply input. Otherwise, you could just create a bunch of Python / Perl / etc. programs and call them "languages".
I know. Was a joke about it also being "a bunch of etc programs" thrown together, since coreutils and such are usually counted as "part of the language" here.
meaning "there is no way to reasonably encode any program into an integer, execute it in FactorLang, and interpret the output integers as your results"
@ETHproductions I know I don't post here very often any more so my opinion won't count for much, but closing a 5 and a half year old question as a duplicate of a 2 day old one seems akin to accusing an author of a 100 year old book of plagiarism because someone wrote something very similar last week. I can see why the author of the original challenge might feel slightly aggrieved.
What is our policy regarding closing an old challenge as a duplicate of a new one?
I know this happens on other sites (at least SO), if the newer question is generally better or usually if it gathers better answers (such that the old one acts as a "redirect" to the canonical answer). Now this do...

Although technically Turing complete, Bubblegum was made for constant-output challenges.
Using the reference implementation, the code can be tested like so:
$ xxd -ps -r <<< 15274d5062a99a296b6de2 > hello.bg

As a not-math-major, I sometimes do. This isn't really one of those times, if only because it's not the first time "languages" like it have been tried here.
It seems that you could dig through the old questions and "rewrite" them to gain reputation without really working to earn it. But, meh, it's not really any of my business. :-)
