@NathanMerrill Have you even bothered to check the Markdown source diff?

@NathanMerrill "literally does nothing"? It adds syntax highlighting, like the edit summary says.

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Happy Holidays! Introduction With the holidays upon us, I decided to make an appropriately themed challenge. Given a list of holidays and two dates, if the current date falls within the range when the program is run, output an appropriate holiday greeting. Challenge The preset list of recent ...

I updated my proposed challenge to require one specific format, I think it's unnecessary to support so many formats when you can't even use a library for it

and then we'd probably want to make sure that only ASCII and APL's character set is used for APL

nyuszika7h

Dec 28, 2014 12:40

how about something like "printable ASCII only, unless your language heavily utilizes non-ASCII characters, like APL"?

nyuszika7h

Dec 28, 2014 12:34

bytes are better than characters, because otherwise you may get massive Unicode-encoded nonsense as answers. I learned about that recently, and it's a good point. APL characters actually count as bytes because of the historical character set (unless you use Unicode characters in the program), so that's pretty fair

Q: Input a number and return day of week

Not restricted to any one programming language. What I'm saying is you pass 1 to it and it returns Monday, 7 corresponds with sunday and so on. I've managed a 146 byte statement in Java to do the same. return (n<1?"invalid":(n<2?"monday":(n<3?"tuesday":(n<4?"wednesday":(n<5?"thursday":(n<6?"f...

I love that people go around adding syntax highlighting to posts. It reminds me of those nice people that fill the holes made by exploding creepers in Minecraft.

Q: Largest number in ten bytes of code

Your goal is to print (to the standard output) the largest number possible, using just ten characters of code. You may use any features of your language, except built-in exponentiation functions. Similarly, you may not use scientific notation to enter a number. (Thus, no 9e+99.) The program m...

Q: How to write a single-line password generator

Is there a way of writing a password generator in only one line? The password should consist of 8 random chars out of a-z, A-Z and 0-9. It should also return a different password every-time. Also, you can not use characters that can combine two lines of code into one, like ; (if your program l...

You know, the great thing about having a community is that we're not alone. There are others who can comment on this too. Don't expect proper evidence from me when it's practically impossible, not having taken a screenshot back when the other PHP answer was at the first revision, because I didn't have a reason to do so.

nyuszika7h

Dec 5, 2014 19:49

@IsmaelMiguel As I said, I obviously can't provide evidence myself. Why else would you be doing this if not to troll?

nyuszika7h

Dec 5, 2014 19:48

I'm not going to waste my precious time on you; I've already said everything I wanted to. I hope to never see you again, bye.

nyuszika7h

Dec 5, 2014 19:47

@IsmaelMiguel You're pretty obviously just trolling now. I'm not a moderator and I'm not even sure if they can see deleted comments. So like I said, if you want evidence, you should seek it from the OP or the answerer.

nyuszika7h

Dec 5, 2014 19:46

The comments were deleted because they're obsolete. That's just how Stack Exchange works. Like I said, I'm sure the OP (or the person who wrote that answer) will be glad to confirm.

nyuszika7h

Dec 5, 2014 19:46

Revision history of said post. But if that isn't enough, I'm sure @Nit will be glad to confirm that the original version of that was invalid.

nyuszika7h

Dec 5, 2014 19:46

That alone isn't valid, someone else already tried that.

nyuszika7h

Dec 5, 2014 19:46

.htaccess is not even code, it's just a limited configuration file. If this is valid (which apparently it is, judging by the fact that the OP hasn't said anything) then I'll eat my hat. Seriously though.

nyuszika7h

Dec 5, 2014 19:46

You're relying on having Apache already running, and I don't think it will work without changing the default configuration either. I don't care what you say, there's no way I can see this as being valid. But you should ask @Nit, as it's their question.

@Mig I'm sorry, that's a result of me being in an IRC community for a prolonged period where things like that are usually not taken seriously. that's not to say it's your fault, because it's clearly my fault

nyuszika7h

Oct 27, 2014 21:41

we're trying to remove characters from the first line, and some idiot comes by and adds extra characters "to make future answers more challenging"

nyuszika7h

Oct 27, 2014 20:28

@FireFly yeah, and Nit added an extra comment character instead of removing the # too

nyuszika7h
