Is it ok to add a tag which changes the rules of a challenge?
(see https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/tags/quine/info)

@lyxal No idea
Jun 28 14:53
Maybe I'll change it one day. I didn't intend this when I chose it, but I have since realised it might look like I am trying to depict myself as smart (maybe only if you think about it too much)
Jun 28 14:52
but don't quote me on that
Jun 28 14:52
I think the illustration is from github octicons and I used the material design orange
Jun 28 14:51
yes
Jun 28 14:50
so it must be off, so it's white
Jun 28 14:49
so you shouldn't be able to see it if it were a picture of an on light bulb
Jun 28 14:49
@lyxal but you can't see light bulbs if you look directly at them while they're on
Jun 28 14:47
@lyxal wouldn't the outline of the lightbulb also be orange then?
Jun 28 14:45
Firstly, if I were a sentient lightbulb, I would obviously be a white lightbulb on an orange background, not an orange lightbulb. Secondly, how dare you even ask such a thing? I'll have you know I toured with the Navy SEALs as a piece of illumin- I mean as an advanced sniper.

No, I am a human so my source code comprises only the letters ACGT.

> 3. Scope & Effectiveness

The "Scope & Effectiveness" section in Vidhyut Saathi Energy Savers Pvt Ltd's terms and conditions is pivotal, ensuring universal application to all website users. It establishes a standardized set of rules, fostering fairness and equity. By defining the effective date, it provides temporal clarity, informing users when the terms come into effect. This transparency empowers users with a comprehensive understanding of their rights and responsibilities. The section's overarching goal is to create a user-centric digital environment, where individuals are not just co
Jun 28 13:56
Their T&Cs page has a summary / meta description of each section, instead of any legal wording. (link butchered to avoid giving them SEO benefits) https://vidhyutsaathi[.]com/Terms&conditions.php

Jun 26 14:47
you want a task that you can get a realistic measure of throughput on, not just latency
Jun 26 14:47
yeah it's especially hard to make fastest-code interesting for such an inherently-quick task
Jun 14 18:12
@lyxal who won?
May 23 08:36
(other than the question of how to give input at the type level to the program)
May 23 08:36
It is 100% possible (in powerful-enough languages) to write a program on which the type checker will halt if and only if a given input program also halts. Is this what you meant?
May 12 10:17
Maybe apt is stable now actually
May 12 10:15
neither sudo nor apt are designed to be used in scripts (apt-get is)

What if I want to build node from source and use that instead of whatever crusty old version debian has
May 12 10:13
@Themoonisacheese The correct solution is to document those hard prereqs somewhere and then have the wheel just assume they are installed
Apr 30 10:27
are there two letter ones?
Apr 30 10:22
(because otherwise the answer is literally en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A)
Apr 30 10:21
@pxeger Actually what I mean is title such that title_(disambiguation) does not exist, and title does not give you a disambiguation page
Apr 30 10:20
nor are "bad title" pages (strings of only spaces)
Apr 30 10:20
neither is the empty string (which takes you to the main page)
Apr 30 10:20
404 is not permitted
Apr 30 10:14
Only ASCII letters and spaces (underscores) are allowed
Apr 30 10:14
CMC: shortest (tiebreaker: lexicographically earliest) English wikipedia title which does not give you a disambiguation page

Arguably it still happens additional times with the hour and minute hands, assuming they move in quantised intervals
Apr 7 20:08
@Neil do you also count the instants while the hands are moving, for example between 3:06:15 and 3:06:16? If so then it happens roughly twice a minute
