a mod can always close and immediately reopen the sandbox to remove the offending vote and then they can't VTC again although intentional abuse of privs is an absolutely direct cause for suspension
@programmer5000 "'new favourite golfing quote: 'should use' isn't in a golfer's dictionary. — Okx yesterday" that's my comment and I am the only one with the right to use it as I have copyrighted it.
Flatten the CUBE
Ridiculous opening to come
code-golf string
Task
Given a 2D representation of a cube (layout below), flatten it into a single string, based on pointers.
The CUBE
This is the layout of the cube filled with no-ops (,) and pointers at the corners (<>v^/). The IP begins the pro...
So... uh... this is a bit embarrassing. But we don't have a plain "Hello, World!" challenge yet (despite having 35 variants tagged with hello-world, and counting). While this is not the most interesting code golf in the common languages, finding the shortest solution in certain esolangs can be a ...
@Okx In klein.py you can remove line 1 replace lines 72-86 with pass and delete everything past line 108 in interpreter.py. Don't use the -d flag and it will run fine
Interpret The Interpreted
Task
You must write a program in Language A that will output the source code for a program in Language B which will then output the source code for a program in Language C and so on and so forth. The final program must output the x root y where x and y are the inputs e...
7 * 50 rep for quines in my new languages
I have created 8 programming languages that can all be found here and have only made one quine using these (found here). Therefore, I am offering a 50 rep bounty for a quine in each language.
In order to claim this bounty, ping me in chat with a link to...

@JanDvorak Shot twice in the back of the head by cat lovers, police ruled suicide
I just started using PPCG and I'm off to a good start, almost 400 rep in a week.
My best tag is code-golf. But while I was looking at my profile, I saw a bit of a problem.
My score for code-golf is 19, but the score of a few of my code-golf answers adds up to over 19.
What's going on?
Question: (Should this be posted on meta?) Am I allowed to take my own specific input for a program, as long as I add that input (+1 byte due to pressing enter) to the byte count?
Anonymous
@JanDvorak I think the cat would be stunned long enough for the person to run away. I'm not advocating testing that though.
Adding input or rules which weren't explicitly mentioned in the challenge
There was recently a case where an answerer claimed
Nowhere does it say the program can't (also) ask the user what the [result] is.
Adding additional input or new rules, because they haven't been explicitly forbidden...
Take a non-empty matrix / numeric array containing positive integers as input. Return, in this order, the sums of the first row and column, then the second row and column and continue until there aren't any more rows or columns.
Suppose the input is:
2 10 10 2 4
9 7 7 2 9

Sometimes we need a low voltage, sometimes we need a high voltage. Let's design a VDC power supply!
The challenge is simple, with 2 lines (+5V and GND), Create a Variable DC power supply on a standard breadboard that ranges from +12V (+/-0.1) to 0V.

The answerer of this question has recently edited multiple answers to the same question, changing their score. I don't think the edits are correct, could someone take a look?
Ruby: score is approximately (much greater than) fω²(fω²(fω²(fω²(fω²(fω²(966)))))
where fα(n) is the fast growing hierarchy.

I recommend you read the end of my answer to get a general idea of what these arrows are sort of doing
What principles make the lifetime of a worm so large?
It's the same principle for worms, hydras, Goodstein sequences, and even the fast growing hierarchy: a fixed "transformation rule" is being repeatedly applied to some particular kind of expression, stopping only when the expression reach...
Basically, the idea is to reduce 'infinities' down to smaller infinities until you reach finite numbers and eventually 0
REXX As big as you want :)
Rexx effectively has no maximum length of a number. Default is 9 but you can change it easily.
So:
numeric digits x2d(FFFFFFF)
say x2d(left(F,x2d(FFFF),F))
X2D takes a hex string and converts it to a decimal number.
First lines sets the number of digits I want. It...

How many times will you have to golf a quine?
For this challenge, you must create a programme which takes an integer x and outputs its source x many times.
Rules
This is codegolf, the programme containing the least amount of bytes

If you submit a function, the function must take x as ...
A digit word is a word where, after possibly removing some letters, you are left with one of the single digits:
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT or NINE (not ZERO).
For example, BOUNCE and ANNOUNCE are digit words, since they contain the digit one.
ENCODE is not a digit word, even...
it appears as though Mickey took the problem from some competition without giving credit and also submitted a user's code to that competition without giving them credit
i'd rather not engage with Mickey about this, so i'm planning just to publish it without any mention of the question on this site
feel free to let me know if you think i should do it differently, or something
the problem is typical enough that you would expect many people to invent it independently, and i've solved similar ones and also published one that is fairly similar
