Why is this program failing?

Hint:

I've tried to duplicate the code but I got the same problem...

The program is failing because:

Kafka Hates You

It would seem that:

The feeling is mutual. Taking the ascii value of the numbers at the end of the error messages yields: KAFKA HATES ME BECAUSE I HATE KAFKA.

    $\begingroup$ @Turvo don't forget about the "many eyes" effect - sometimes puzzles seem artificially easy because it was solved quickly, but don't forget that there were also 1500+ people who did not solve it. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Knowing nothing about Scala - would those normally be line numbers? I feel like in any programming language if your line numbers get into 5 digits, you're doing something wrong. I was instantly suspicious of that, especially the 80+ thousand numbers... $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ You are right, those numbers are suspicious. I've used uppercase letter's ascii code followed by lowercase letter's because using just 2 or 3 numbers would be too easy (That's why the hint mentioned "duplicated code") $\endgroup$

To solve it in the spirit of the riddle, we run:

grep -o ':.*)' < input | sed 's/[^0-9]//g' | xargs node -e "console.log(process.argv.slice(1).map(x => parseInt(parseInt(x.slice(2)) > 122 ? x.slice(1) : x.slice(2))).map(x => String.fromCharCode(x)).join(''))"

which provides us with the reason:

kafkahatesmebecauseihatekafka

So it is unlikely that the problem will be resolved soon...

    $\begingroup$ You can also do this by evaluating String.fromCharCode(...document.querySelector("#question code").textContent.match(/:\d+/g).map(s=>s.slice(3))) in the web console. $\endgroup$
