@Rainbolt Block of whatever thing? You mean Minecraft Ice?
Dec 17, 2015 14:03
Could you use those Weird Stacked ascii letters that mess up every text box every created?
Dec 17, 2015 14:01
Would you have to use Super/sub Script? or are you not that mean?
Dec 17, 2015 13:58
well then you wouldn't need to split it twice atleast.
Dec 17, 2015 13:56
@Doorknob冰 If you could Use function arguments would that whole first line of your code do away?
Dec 17, 2015 13:55
hmm I think my ISO week function may have an off by 1 error but I can't think up a set of dates to test it on that would cause it.
Dec 17, 2015 13:52
so everyone?
Dec 17, 2015 13:52
VBA sunday = 0?
Dec 16, 2015 17:50
What i Find more impressive is that Article was created in 2009.

@FlagAsSpam I'm just curious if there is a way to set it to go every 1 Second or if your constrained to Ticks?
Dec 3, 2015 19:59
@FlagAsSpam For your Minecraft Answer on the output the time question with the repeaters wouldn't it technically be outputting every X Ticks not every Second and be affected by the TPS of the host?
Dec 2, 2015 17:53
@Rainbolt Hmmm so that question isn't Bad in VBA. The Handling of Open Tags without close tags needs to be addressed. I assume it would be the same way SE handles them. But I agree that the challenge needs some work. But I think its Scope isn't too big for VBA to handle once the rules are fleshed out.

At work or I would.... i'm not the sort of person who would browse PPCG at work afterall..... ಠ_ಠ
Dec 2, 2015 17:33
I feel like VBA would be right up to the task. Could whip that up in MSword in a few minutes
Dec 2, 2015 14:40
@TimmyD One can dream can't we?
Dec 2, 2015 14:33
Maybe, I thought maybe CodeGolf might have had a precedent for time accuracy.
Dec 2, 2015 14:29
Looking at the Question to output the current time every second. How Accurate is a Second? 0.0001 of a day? or 0.000011574 of a day? Like if it skips a second every day is that wrong? What about a second every week? I can get 100% accurate but golfing down SigFigs helps the byte count.

@Stefnotch For the Duck Tape Challenge have we confirmed that The Code copied Can't be posted after the Challenge? Or should I start hiding the code i need in my other Answers?
Nov 24, 2015 17:36
@VoteToClose Wait who would build a Minecraft Redstone machine on any map but Redstone Paradise?
Nov 24, 2015 15:49
@Geobits Im pretty sure I have see that exact Question in a VB.Net Text Book
Nov 24, 2015 15:46
@MartinBüttner Ok i wasn't sure as all the examples say Bytes and the BF answer that is 3 characters or 61 bytes is listed as 61 but I think I see why now. As the Bytes were listed second
Nov 24, 2015 15:44
Not to be Nit Picky about it. But Op did Specify that winner would be in Characters not Bytes yet the leader board is still in Bytes? Though I agree Bytes is better do we want to be consistent or leave that for OP to decide?
Nov 24, 2015 15:29
When Does String Manipulation become ASCII art Manipulation? How Bad do my art skills need to be to just be considered a string?
Nov 24, 2015 15:26
Opening it up would invalidate a few answers. And I'm fine with deleting or reworking but I could see others not being as Happy.
Nov 24, 2015 15:25
Yes there are a few answers (mine included) that just assumed ASCII as it was left open and that was the shortest way to do it.
Nov 24, 2015 12:32
im sure Sp3000 only has 1

@Optimizer So SAS has a Student Trial So would that be fine to use as well? There are languages that DON'T have free trials?
Nov 23, 2015 16:26
@Vɪʜᴀɴ Wouldn't this exclude VBA seeing as Office is a paid program? Yet my VBA answer on the Mystery string is highly Voted upon?
Nov 23, 2015 15:43
I noticed that some Challenges have "For any submission, there must be a free interpreter of the language somewhere" What is this trying to exclude? and Why? Maybe I'm just salty because my main Languages don't; but it seems needlessly restrictive.

Well then... Maybe he's Drunk coding again?

@quartata I don't work in IT.(accounting) But that don't stop people from e-mailing me IT questions." If you look Smart and tech/code related that must mean you can answer my tech/code question" is a train of thought I feel many people have. Even though they shouldn't. Maybe they have tried to ask SO without any luck and are Grasping at straws?
Nov 23, 2015 15:13
But were all smart people here( for the most part) and they assume we can answer their question even it its not in the right area?
Nov 17, 2015 19:17
Well I feel like I'm the only one around here that uses VBA but I didn't create it.... to the best of my memory....

@TimmyD Fish is greater then fish?
Nov 17, 2015 16:57
@VoteToClose print"5" because my system is in MargaritaVille
Nov 17, 2015 16:54
@flawr if Tao is better then Pi and pi is Better then Phi, is Tao better then Phi?
Nov 17, 2015 15:28
Could we worse. you could be trying to read WhiteSpace out loud
Nov 17, 2015 15:20
I feel like the "AMEN" challenge if going to be won by something with Negative score. -40 byte bonus it huge if you can get it.
Nov 17, 2015 14:30
As good as rolling Biased Dice.

@TheDoctor care to explain what that graph is showing us? For us that are not up to date with our NSA spy programs?
Nov 13, 2015 18:27
But I code in VBA so i like to break the rules for output, So take that with a grain of salt.
Nov 13, 2015 18:26
I would agree with the Meta Post. Really its up to the OP, But If that is for some reason shorter then printing to SDOUT i don't see why it would be a problem....
Nov 13, 2015 18:23
For a question or an answer?
Nov 13, 2015 18:09
But i really doubt it would be any shorter
