Interesting behavior has emerged: when a user downvotes a comment they don't like, they search for every recent comment the same person wrote, and downvote it as well. ( Only recent comments can be downvoted )

This nicely explains -2 on all of my recent comments, even the oldest one that was till now, only highly upvoted, but now suddenly has a -2 attached to it.

Fascinating.

Thank you for your response, I will comment per paragraph:

SE has good rules which keep questions relevant. I would say that if the question is closed and there are no existing duplicates, then the question itself doesn't have much value. ( There are of course outliers. )

There is a misunderstanding here, moderators on SE don't actually close most of the questions, normal users with privileges to do that, do so by voting. So such a question doesn't have value because users decided so, not moderators.

The last paragraph shares the misconception with the previous one. Users vote on and close question. Inf fact moderators are so rare on SE, that they only do critical things that should not be trusted to users, which do the rest.

Comments on SE are meant to be temporary( in their value, not duration ). If you had to raise an important issue about something, you should have instead asked a question about it, where you could leave a link to the problematic answer/question and explain the problem. In fact that is the usual procedure in case of conflicts. There is no restriction on that. If your point is valid, the community does the rest.

best tool for the job is off topic on Stack Overflow.

They did open Software Recommendations Stack Exchange.

Closed answers get deleted in some regular interval. If they for some weird reason aren't, you could consider flagging them, there is always a response to that.

Having read over 5000( yes really ) questions and searched over 100 with Google, that didn't happen once.

Just to clarify, SE doesn't always have the question, but it always has the answer.

It must be related to the specific field you are searching for; older ones are usually complete. I wouldn't be surprised if a more casual programming field has a larger ratio of closed answers.

With higher resolution, blobs and smears suddenly become ordinary terrestrial objects.

I felt bad closing the window.

I was thinking about writing something similar in C. How long is the genome( bytes/chars )?

I was thinking the same thing. Since the gene certainly isn't very long the best champions could be stored, until a better champion is found.

How may steps/score? Try changing the parameters.

I was just about to give up at 70th generation, when the walkers suddenly evolved from 1 to 4 steps in 5 generations.

Currently at generation 120 with 7 steps, looks like it is "evolving" in bursts, with long periods of nothing.

Well it is stuck at 9 steps at gen 400+.

I wonder if the author got any further. I would say this is close to the limit.
