Eval & Drastic changes

Please discuss before making changes that invalidate so many entries. Thanks, --Paddy3118 18:24, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

I wrote the task originally and the changes match my original intent. All of the examples I marked were incorrect originally for not discussing "how you get values in and out".

Hm. But I also added some requirements and didn't distinguish them. Perhaps we should have a separate template to distinguish "the example was incorrect" (which has a negative tone) from "the task has been expanded, please add this behavior/documentation".

+1 on the added template idea. (I had not realised that you wrote the original). --Paddy3118 18:55, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

What resolution are you running at? I designed the theme for 1024x768. shortcircuit is working on a non-fixed width version too, but it's a lot harder than you'd think ;) --qrush 12:32, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Kevin Reid is kpreid_ on the IRC channel. The problem isn't so much with the resolution, such that the user may not choose to have the browser window maximized. In addition, things like horizontal toolbars (Firefox has some of those) can also reduce the available horizontal resolution. --Short Circuit 03:23, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

zigzag

Hi, this is Arie Groeneveld. If you are interested have a look at my two alternative Haskell solutions for the zigzag task. User_talk:Gaaijz

Play recorded sounds

I think you're wrong about introducing a new categorization scheme for that page. It's inconsistent with the vast bulk of RC (yes, I have read a large fraction of it...) and the consistent focus on the language as the primary axis of differentiation of solutions is a strong feature. Also, the task needs splitting up into more smaller ones; right now, it's asking for the world on a stick (and a pony too). Maybe have basic sound playing as one thing, then add mixing as a separate task, then ... —Donal Fellows 15:37, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Spammers

Looks like you're playing whack-a-mole with spammers. You'll need to take more extensive action because they never give up. Which is sucky to the n^th degree, but can't be helped. You might need to ban people from particular netblocks from contributing any content (including registering). CAPTCHAs won't work; you're dealing with people here. —Donal Fellows 13:34, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
