Maybe it's just the culture, but usually people around here, their first car is a hand-me-down from family (in which case it can be decent) or short of that, a semi-crappy car that cost less than $1000

Of course people who have great paying jobs right out of school can afford something nicer, but then again after university a lot of people have a lot of debt so...

skiwi

Over here you can expect some pretty decent cars usually I think, a few K's comes a great way

First car of a friend of mine is an Opel Corsa, definitely not a bad one

Phrancis

Over here American cars lose the most value, I'd say especially Ford are quite common to find cheap cards in decent condition

skiwi

I checked my driving lesson car to see if it was anything close to affordable...

Phrancis

12:48 PM

TTGTW, back in a bit

skiwi

Mind you new it costs between 35-50K (second-hand probably somewhat cheaper), it's like 150 euro per month taxes, but I've seen insurance starting around 500 euro per month lol

The insurance is really the most expensive part I think

(Apart from the cost of buying it)

Phrancis

1:35 PM

Back

500 a month for insurance seems really high for one car

skiwi

Like really really really high ^^

Phrancis

150 for taxes... I pay about that much for insurance, and we don't really have such a thing as monthly... I guess "driving tax"?

skiwi

Not exactly sure how to call it, I know that vehicles that are not road-legal are voided from that tax, and it's relates to weight, co2 emission etc.

Phrancis

Ah

@skiwi did you see I wrote a script and question for your little statistical challenge from last week?

skiwi

@Phrancis Yep, but I don't completely understan dit, at least nto last time I looked

Phrancis

1:41 PM

Ah ok :)

I just now added a screenshot of sample output

skiwi

@Phrancis Got a link somewhere?

Q: Coin flips and Dice rolls in a stored procedure

I saw a post in chat a few days ago, of what I thought was an interesting (albeit fairly simple) statistical challenge: By @skiwi: If I shoot once with 50% chance of target A and 50% of target B, and if I hit target A I have 95% chance to shoot again, then how many of target A will I hit on ...

skiwi

Wait, it actually became a SR CR question? ^^

Phrancis

What's a SR question?

skiwi

I now see that in the problem statement I wasn't exactly clear, if you hit target A, you can always shoot again, so it's not limited to two shots in total

Phrancis

1:54 PM

Yeah that's how I did it (I think) in the "dice roll" logic, as in, if you hit target A (or win the "coin flip") you get to roll again and again for as long as you roll within the win %

skiwi

I'm not entirely sure

You have Target A and Target B, both 50% chance, then if you hit B it's over, if you hit A it's 95% chance to hit either A or B, both 50% chance, again

Phrancis

Let me roll it with 95% real quick

Oh

Now I get you. Yeah mine doesn't work quite like that, but the explanation wasn't completely clear

In a case like that then I'd probably write a short function to do the "coin flip" at 50% chance, then call that function repeatedly

skiwi

@Phrancis Correct, not your fault ^^

PISNIP - Problem in skiwi, not in Phrancis

Now I understand why I didn't understand it and you probably understand why I didn't understand it too!

Q: JavaFX and OpenJDK

I'm trying to decide whether I could switch to JavaFX for the user interface of my Java application. Most of my users would be using the Oracle JRE, which has JavaFX integrated these days. However, some are using OpenJDK (on linux). This (old) question suggests that OpenJDK deals very badly with ...

@skiwi OpenJDK doesn't come with JavaFX. Makes it harder to develop JavaFX on Linux

@Duga WHERE IS MY JAR FILES!?

skiwi

8:25 PM

Not where you want them ^^

Shouldn't @Duga notify about the Travis CI tag build too?

I'm pretty sure it doesn't say "pushed commit <commitHash>" then

I think it's time to implement developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/… on github.com/skiwi2/OLog-Userscript/blob/develop/olog.user.js it became a bit of a mess :P

It's not that hard actually :)

gem install travis and travis setup releases helped a lot!

skiwi

I'm new to the releases thing, but I know about the gems & travis yep

Simon Forsberg

and then there was a bug with some gem so I downgraded a gem to a lower version. But if you encounter that error, just google it.

it wasn't the travis gem though. It was some error with the scheme "git@github.com" it said

I should probably stop having my FizzBuzz appear the first thing it does in Brainduck...

[Cardshifter/Cardshifter] Zomis opened issue #428: skiwi should not be the one shown in releases

> It's been a long while since skiwi did some work on this project, it's wrong to have him appear as the one who publishes releases. Use the travis gem to setup a new release key.

[Cardshifter/Cardshifter] Zomis added label build to issue #428: skiwi should not be the one shown in releases

Simon Forsberg

It's been a while since I saw jacwah around...

@Duga No offense, @skiwi

[Cardshifter/Cardshifter] Zomis assigned Zomis to issue #428: skiwi should not be the one shown in releases
