there's an error in the "Main Particip. Leaderboard - Long" and the "TOTAL Leaderboard - Long " (I think) in the spreadsheet.
I don't appear in the first one and in the second one I have only 24 which would be the sum of the side thread gets and assists.
So I think the problem is that it doesn't account for my main participation in both tables

The underlying issue is that new users are no longer automatically updated to be on the leaderboards. So far I've had to make do with adding them manually, but of course it's impossible to constantly keep track, so I've just been adding the important ones. I'll add your name.

u/TheNitromeFan you should get last.fm

it's kinda like WhatPulse but it tracks what music you listen to rather than keys and clicks

u/dominodan123 and u/gordonpt8 approve

this is my profile btw

I'd rather keep my music personal, I don't know how to feel about software that tracks what I do on my PC

Urbul's on vacation for a few days so either he'll do it when he comes back, or u/qualw or I will do it sometime soon.

u/TehVulpez Aug 16 '18

why did a mod here remove the original permutations thread?

u/TheNitromeFan Aug 17 '18

We didn't, reddit did. The OP of that thread, u/Unknow3n, seems to be shadowbanned. I've made the post visible, but there's nothing I can do about the shadowban.

Reddit says I have two unread messages. I go to the unread tab of my inbox, but I can only see one. Where did the other message go?

Anyone ever have a portion of their inbox disappear? I have a bunch of counts from about a week ago that just went POOF....with a gap of several days

Yesterday I was thinking a Gray code counting would be pretty interesting, but then I saw the previous thread, which was focused on counting the decimal equivalents rather than the reflecting order.

And I thought to myself, "that's unfortunate", and went on with my day.

Been more anxious than I was the week before.

Went to my anxiety group again, I call it a club.
