Agree for the most part - Works for me is gone, outdated has been changed to invalid, but maybe dangerous could stay - it doesn't necessarily mean bad coding practices, but maybe instead actual malicious code, for example a reverse shell... sometimes the code is so obfuscated it might be hard to tell...

This seems like a perfectly reasonable point of view as well - you should post it as an answer to gauge community response (more) |

Yeah, I wasn't so sure about Interesting/Cool/Wow either. But I do feel like "works for me" falls under the same category as "what votes are for", I don't really see a difference (more) |

I'd just use random code as filler text instead of binary, it looks wrong (more) |

Seems too loosely defined. Is recursion a loop? Is mapping a loop? are builtins that give you a range a loop? This feels either too easy or too hard, and if you restrict everything I’m not sure anyone can do better than literally printing out the whole string (more) |

It is generally frowned upon to self answer so many times before other people have a chance to see and answer it - you might be taking away a language that they would use (more) |

You didn’t answer on sandbox so I guess I’ll ask here: can we output in native formats? Like python uses 0b for binary (more) |

Welcome to Codidact! This is our site for recreational coding challenges, not programming help. I see you have already posted on https://software.codidact.com/posts/283824 that is the correct place for this. (more) |

I don't think fastest-code kolmogorov complexity makes sense... there really is almost nothing interesting you can do to speed up your code in most languages (more) |

What? That doesn't make any sense, python outputs binary numbers with `0b`, how is that a converter (more) |

what about native language formats for binary? such as `0b` prefix for python and such (more) |

I'm closing this question until this is resolved. (FWIW, I don't understand this either.) (more) |

"takes a random number" do you mean *output* one?
"Built-ins allowed" well pretty much all golflangs have a random builtin, so this kills the challenge. Furthermore, I don't really see how this is possible. Without any sort of external code, all operations you can do are deterministic... (more) |

@#54114 Since it is valid, you have to accept Shaggy's answer - if you want to make another with your original language that doesn't work in Japt, go ahead, but this should count as correct. Other languages that do this include Pyth (more) |

If it can only be added by moderators, does this mean no one else can create these sort of posts? Or they start with discussion and we change it later? (more) |

@#8046 Hm, not sure, I know for sure this new tag should not, but all meta posts in general - that is probably something that deserves a separate post for discussion (I would lean towards no, meta posts should continue giving rep as normal) (more) |

@#8176 I agree that people should be rewarded for contributing to the community, but the problem with answers to these posts, as stated in the question, is that sometimes people can post things that are made to be downvoted to show what the community does not agree with, which would negatively impact...

@#8046 Hmm, I would prefer to keep the posts, not only for the public record, but also for new guidelines to be added over time if needed with new answers to the post. (Also, I think affecting posts on the user card is ok, since it would be a contribution to the community, but vote count should not a... (more) |

Why so restrictive with input format? Why not allow people to take in perhaps 2 complex numbers, or if that's too easy, two arrays of 2 numbers, or something like that? In addition, why so restrictive with output format? Different languages have different ways of representing complex numbers. (more) |

Well, a lot of languages are zero-indexed by default, so it's much easier to generate a range of 0-8 than 1-9. (more) |

I'm not sure this would be very interesting - essentially, this is the same as the fizzbuzz challenge, but you define the function at the beginning of your code and then the added part is calling it 7 times (more) |

@Shaggy I tried to follow, but not going to lie I got lost reverting changes back and forth after about 10 comments :P, so if you have time could you suggest an edit with all the changes? Or you could just post your own answer at this point, since it seems you've changed a good portion of my original... (more) |
