Okay, this is a big block...I still think that this will prove to be significantly faster than recursion in the long run. I'm currently using verbose printing to remind myself what I want to do with these numbers at the next step. This works by checking values for chars, upper or lowercase Roman alp...

Kids decided that the pup's name should be "Lucy".

Also, spent some time reading on "hybrid vigor" as I was previously unaware of that term. Interesting stuff.

good thing is by applying 'int' function to the list of chars , i'll get a list of numbers (MB's challenge, using Joe's suggested method) Not 100% sure how this plays out, but if they aren't primes (such as the ascii values which are normally obtained from converting char->int), then there is a pos...

Very possibly, Pidsley. The girl who we got her from implied that the paternal side was not exactly an 'expected' mate. :) I'd be fine with that, though. Border collies are great dogs. I have to admit, her being a mutt-puppy has a certain charm. I also admit to smiling like a big idiot and playing i...

Okay, newest member of my family: as of yet, still just called "Puppy". The naming will probably occur when the big kids get home from school. Her mom is a lab, dad was a husky. So far, totally just running around my house and playing with my 2-year old son. He's far more nervous of her th...

^Nah, you're keeping things lighthearted. This is a pain to do from a lower-level, we need a bit a bash levity. ;; Display our char, and a note that they're split. (define (charpull s i) (display (string-ref s i)) (print "->") (s_iter s (add1 i))) ;; Tight iterative sequencer based on leng...

Okay, so some of us are struggling with this one. I'm now about 99% sure that my algorithm will work, and should be applicable in any language that allows breaking down strings into single chars. (Read: most any of them.) Despite MB's bash script, I want to see victory here for everyone's language o...

Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! Uhm, from the IMDB: "Three strippers holding a young girl hostage come across a crippled old man living with his two sons in the desert. After learning he's hiding a sum of cash around, the strippers start scheming on him." This is like the very definition of ...

I hadn't considered that numbers would be permitted, but I guess that in this case, it might be necessary as (diff3 would be an anagram of 3fidf?) It would stand to reason that by mapping 0-9 to primes that those could be covered as well. My Schema currently is running a string-ref via iteration thr...

Okay, I've yet to make this work in Scheme form, but I've got an idea for a linear logarithmic time algorithm that might actually suit this use well. I will share, and you guys tell me if you see any obvious holes in my thinking. (This is a nasty one to get right and make run quickly, MB...curse you...

I've been trying to wrap my head around the possibilities of an iterative sequence that cycles a list based on how long it is...not done yet, but I've not given up on it. It has to be possible, but it's probably going to be a little bit (read: 'significantly') more lines than anything we've put up h...

Just playing around...this system has been working overtime on compiling and testing for about 1 day (check uptime) now, didn't even bother rebooting to show off RAM. ;)

Maybe worth putting here (semi-topic related), but I'm a strong believer in the ZenHabits theory of "If you're forced into finding ways to fit everything into your day, then you're doing too much." I do use org-mode, as it covers most of my needs, but I also am the first one to start parin...

Good to hear from you.

*applause Frank*

I refuse to answer this one due to a lack of anime in the challenge post. ^_^
(Actually, just really busy with something else...but really, Frank's answer is very nice.)

<.<

sure.

These made me laugh. :)

Today's challenge...take some time to do something cool. I don't care if it's programming or brewing homemade whisky. Tomorrow, we resume full-force, with elevated challenges.

;; Define Conan as an associated list (define conan '((str 10) (dex 5) (HP 20))) ;; Make quick recalls (define (str?) (assq 'str conan)) (define (dex?) (assq 'dex conan)) (define (HP?) (assq 'HP conan)) ;; Define the Flask as a procedure, assume known values. (define (flask_of_badassity) (set! (cdr...

^ Cool! Now it makes more sense to read. I was looking at it like you might look at PLC ladder logic (reads down from the first section, if the whole 'rung' is true, then set condition at the end...not too far off.) http://s29.postimg.org/eoai32nur/evenmoreanime.jpg Today (and probably tomorrow's ch...

Jewlels! One of the signs of a great leader is to trust those under him by delegating the things that they don't have time for to those that they trust. Stark!!! Go find all the threads that you want to be in said thread, and make links to them with url tags in a new thread. I or someone else will b...
