I slightly modified a userscript from Brad Cable that removes (removed some time ago I suppose) bullshit posts
It's a very simple ten liner that now removes the whole tree of comments whenever a post contains whichever regular expression you want (you modify the script to your needs, and currently my regex is simply/gamemaker/ig
works like a charm (for now) though it is very much optimizable I guess
If anyone is interested just let me know:)
Cheers...
Why is this modded funny ?
It is completely insightful, this pinpoints exactly the amateurism madness that crawls everywhere when 'special effects' overtake everything else
It happens in movies, it happens in music...
It happens in slashdot ! (oops I forgot to answer with *THIS* (But I did remember to complain about the moderation;)))
You want to focus on coding for personal reasons. what does that mean ?
For personal reasons you want as a hobby to make robots with your kid ? have a look at lego mindstorms
For personal reasons you have to let your previous venture and come back on the scene as a consultant ?
If so, to do what ?
Actually, I think there is in fact one language that you would benefit from having a serious look at whichever is your actual goal, and that would be LISP, unless you are in a hurry to be very effective at something specific in which case you would have to be more precise about it
Cheers and welcome back;)
I suspect they meant kWh instead of kW/h, and I suppose this is how much energy the boat would harvest on a good day (?).
Not terribly well reported, but I don't think the kW/h mistake is really due to complete stupidity, it looks more like a slip to me
In french, there are two very common units in your every day life that are pronounced almost identically: km/h and kWh (french don't say kilometer per hour, but shorten it as kilometre-heure so it is pronounced almost the same as killoWatt-heure, except in one case a multiplication is implied, and in the other it's a division)
Yep, I have two out of three (there should have been four) kids with autistic "features"
This is hell
In fact I gave up and knowingly turned away to alcohol, waiting for some other kind of (less) painful death
Except the motivation for all of your examples is always self contained
What do we like about automation/etc. ? the science behind it (and of course the almost garanteed good laugh thanks to the occasional smart troll and the fact that you are frequently finding insightful posts that challenge or open your preconcieved views on whichever subject)
I won't claim I am anti-business, but I'm sure many just like me like to get here some news which have scientific value/material, and of course it is always good if it also happen to have business value
those subjects sort of garantee that whichever is interested in it enough to post about it has something to share that is worth reading (yeah, well, you know, to some extent, I know I won't see that in other places that is, and overall this is a good filter)
I wouldn't come however to seek business value driven articles for the sake of it, certainly not, I'd expect the few scientists that remain to flee, and therefore the value i'm after to disapear
I'm not so sure it is a shame
First the buildings, and the building conditions can't be compared all that much
Then, because of the high emotional value of it all, I am certain this was very hard just on administration grounds to push forward
I welcome this very sad page of history as being turned, it could have been turned with something more magnificient, more open, whatever, but I also regret that many comments are showing that not only the page is not that much turned, but there is still a lot of fuel to burn for another one just like this one, or worse.
Oh, great:) so how come were you so aware of this expression ? (aware enough that you could still turn it upside down knowing it would be recognized ?)
did it cross to where you are or are you just that much connected to american culture ?
thanks for the laugh and the memories anyway:) I loved that show back then and I clearly missed a lot of private jokes therre:)
Thanks a lot, that turned out to be more interesting/informative than I suspected ! several replied, and I think you are the first non AC to give the full material so thanks all and thank you:)
Also, I do now get the joke, what I don't get the feel of about it is if it is just "that good" or if the expression "jump the shark" is really that common knowledge for the other side of the big blue (I knew about the show but Idon't think i saw this episode, and if I did, I was unaware of the 'thing' about it) so that it is "easy enough" to think about it, but either case, it's a good one, thanks for the explanation.
I'm clearly missing something, can you explain the joke please ?
(thi is not a snarky way to say it was not funny, I really suppose it must be but I don't get the reference(s) at all) care to explain ?
thanks
Noone said the detection would be instantaneous
In order for the two parties to detect their communication was snooped at, they have to 'talk' to each other to compare measurments outcomes. that doesn not happen FTL
Suppose you have don't have a hole in your pocket
You regularly, say every week put in $10 in coins and every week you buy candies
You notice that you have lost some weight recently, and thanks to a 'study' you can see that the price per calory of candies (not necessarily the candies you were so found of, but as an average) as risen.
This conclusively proves that there is no hole in your pocket, you must have been paying $10 worth of candy every week, but you got less candies
Or maybe it conclusively proves that you have been exercising
Or maybe it conclusively proves that, since you were buying candies on a weely basis,that the orbit of the moon is slowly increasing
Or maybe it conclusively proves that you don't have any conclusive proof to begin with
It does not conclusively prove that your parent studied or not math, but it seriously hints at you not having had too much success at logic
Of course you said "*everything else* accounted for", but were you really serious about 'two other random things' accounting for *everything else* ???
Errr...
?
This is hmm Slashdot
You will be modded down if you post a valid elegant short proof of Fermat's last theorem but that post unfortunately ends with "Posted from my iPhone"
You will make part of it back (not for the Karma though I believe) if you make some allusions about the conclusive proof of feasability of mounting lasers on sharks heads, proof, which does not fit in a too short slashdot post, unfortunately
Now, you compalin about some previous modding down on this same Slashdot about explaining how good enough scientists should behave about their claims when understanding they have to deal with the general populace, and apparently you havie very hgh standards about it
So...
Well, in fact, I do get your point, I'm not trying to contradict it even if (but I'm not a scientist) my intuition goes in the opposite direction. (but clearly I am wrong since it did happen (as you 'told us so'), and this was all settled in a scientists circle in the end)
So, thanks for your point, but promoting it by whining about how you were modded down before is almost a sure way not to make it across:)
Cheers..
Oh ok I see what you meant, I imagined it was your point in fact, but your 'blunt' post (so to speak (no offense intended, really)) led me to think you were aiming at something much more basic like 'a light year is a unit of distance, not time, please stop mixing them up' you know the kind of posts:)
cheers

you forgot "fool me once, shame on you..."
more importantly, I think you forgot about Poland
Yes, this is crazy, with this kind of monney I bet we could almost put advanced defense systems on every people's roof :)
maybe even SAMs

it did, that's the money that bought the computer your posting with
Noone said the detection would be instantaneous
In order for the two parties to detect their communication was snooped at, they have to 'talk' to each other to compare measurments outcomes. that doesn not happen FTL
I'd be tempted to compile something much simpler:
char*f="char*f=%c%s%c;main()
{printf(f,34,f,34,10);}%c";
main(){printf(f,34,f,34,10);}
Yes yes yes, except those paradoxes come from Zeno, not Aristotle. Aristotle was the first one (I think) to try to answer the paradox.
Indeed, no free energy, no FTL travel as a side bonus, most likely this will not lead to practical immortality, this is totally not interesting pfffft
