12:00 AM
It is a trilogy, that should be the first book only
 
R.M
@belisarius only the first 2 chapters... don't ask me why
 
@R.M Why?
 
R.M
because 42, that's why!
 
ha ... you skipped thru the end ...
 
Beli, do you like games?
 
12:05 AM
@GustavoBandeira It depends on who gets stripped
 
mmm terrifying
 
I was looking something today: Unanswered questions.
All noobish questions are answered by you guys
But, who answers your questions? Haha
 
@GustavoBandeira There is a good one
and doable
let me search for it
 
Unanswered questions are made only by Beli, R.M, J.M (Are they brothers?!) and Leonid Schifrin.

Q: How to construct a treemap using non-rectangles?

MikeI've written the standard version of a tree map (a graphic that shows nested data) and I'm looking to improve on this layout by switching to different types of polygons or perhaps circles. Can anyone see a way to adapt this code in the style of a Voronoi diagram or otherwise? Here is the cod...

you could try it
 
Your code is so beautifully organized.
 
Whose? mine?
 
Yep.
Mine code is completely desorganized. XD
I can't read the program twice. xD
 
where? I always write very short answers, mostly ...
 
Look
I love to do such things.
 
12:12 AM
@R.M @OleksandrR. Do you agree to migrate this one?

Q: Efficient way of finding shortest distance between two sets of points in mathematica

kptnwI have two sets of 3D points, say a = RandomReal[1, {10, 3}]; b = RandomReal[1, {10, 3}]; I wanna find the first N pairs that have shortest distance between the two sets, my current approach is to form a NearestFunction from the first list and map it to the second(say, N=3): f = Nearest[a]; c...

@GustavoBandeira Is that mine?
 
@belisarius Nope, mine.
I love to look such things. =)
 
@belisarius sure, why not. Not sure I really have any stake in this as I was never on SO, but there's no reason it shouldn't be on this site instead.
 
R.M
@belisarius Yes, looks good to migrate here
 
Ok. Flagging

Q: Has anyone here made something with the sound/musical functions on Mathematica?

Gustavo BandeiraMathematica has some functions that allow one to produce music/sound, has anyone here made something like that? I would love to see it.

Can I make such question here?
It doesn't have a fixed answer, the answers are going to constitute an answer. Is this a problem?
I guess no.
 
12:20 AM
@GustavoBandeira yes, some Mathematica code can have a rather "write-only" quality to it...
 
Kev
@belisarius howdy - stackoverflow.com/questions/8799073/… is migrated
 
@OleksandrR. What you mean?Are you saying that there are some languanges that do not have this "feature"?
 
@Kev nice!
 
Kev
@belisarius you're welcome
 
@Kev Thanks again!
 
12:23 AM
I edited the question.
 
@GustavoBandeira I don't think it's a property of the language as much as how the program is written. I usually find that there's a risk of overdoing function composition, but procedural code (which I normally avoid) can suffer from the opposite problem.
 
@OleksandrR. What's the problem with excessive function composition?
 
Manipulate[Graphics[
{Circle[{1, 1}, 1]}~Join~ Table[Circle[{1, 1}, 1 + 1/100 (10 - i) a, {i, v}], {i, 0, 9}] ], {a, 0, 100, 1}, {v, 1/\[Infinity], 2 Pi}]
 
@belisarius `at the end?
 
that is it
 
12:32 AM
The problem is that you get something like this... efficient, elegant, compact, and very hard to see how it works!
 
@OleksandrR. You understand it for ... five minutes?
then it becomes Chinese
 
@OleksandrR. Be careful with the criticism, he's gonna ban your account.
 
Yep. And if you need to modify it next week you have to pull it apart completely.
 
Function nesting has that property ... use it with care in real Programs
 
12:35 AM
@GustavoBandeira I am not criticizing exactly; it is just hard to understand unless you've just written it yourself. Compare with whuber's version, for instance.
 
@OleksandrR. Yep, I was just kidding

A: Superposing music tracks in Mathematica & MIDI pedal events

yoda1. Superposition In order to be able to superimpose two Sound objects, there ought to be a common time origin. A simple SoundNote object has its own time origin and hence using Sound on a list of these will only concatenate them and plays them in serial. You will have to use absolute times for e...

He says that MIDI does not allow the transmission of pedaling.
0.o
 
Well, @yoda is nasty, but he is an expert
 
R.M
@GustavoBandeira Looks like Szabolcs already mentioned that
 
Where is that yoda lately? Did belisarius and R.M abuse him too much in the chat?

R.M
@GustavoBandeira Downvote for misinformation!
 
12:44 AM
I've read this book.
 
R.M
@OleksandrR. You probably mean acl there...
 
MIDI is able to transmit a HUGE ammount of information.
 
@R.M you coward
 
R.M
@belisarius Hush... acl is not here. Now's when you can pile everything on him
 
@R.M Downvote for trolling.
 
12:47 AM
@R.M Pile on @acl? ... I don't think he deserves it. In fact, probably he deserves nothing at all.
 
R.M
lol
 
Someday I'm going to be mma.se moderator and WR president... I'm learning in who I should trust, isn't it @R.M?
=D
 
R.M
@GustavoBandeira Well, we established that you failed test #1 at being WRI chief
18 hours ago, by R.M
@GustavoBandeira you lost the ego game. Ergo, you can never replace SW
 
@R.M yes, you are right! Sorry to implicate you unjustifiably. It seems amphibians get a bad reputation around here...
 
@OleksandrR. Like princes, lately
 
R.M
12:49 AM
And princesses too, apparently
Well, not bad rep anyway...
 
@R.M Boobs are not a reputation measurement
 
So it seems. Well, they are all from the same stock, I suppose. (According to David Icke.)
 
My legs are weak.
I feel them sleepy.
Bizarre.
He says that midi transmits:
The note being played (pitch)
The duration of the note (tempo)
Trigger events to start and stop the note
I looked at it like: OMFG!?!
I'm pretty sure that MIDI can transmit pedalling information. It transmits it through CC #64, I just don't know how are you going to implement this on Mathematica. Source, Also, yoda's comment on MIDI is VERY incomplete - yoda, are you refering to the MIDI protocol or to MIDI on Mathematica? — Gustavo Bandeira 7 secs ago
 
R.M
mma's MIDI only implements standard MIDI, not extended MIDI, so you're pretty much not going to get very far with what's there
 
@R.M Yep, that's why I made that last question.
 
12:58 AM
@R.M Yep. Mathematica is the largest beta in the world
 
Dude, wait til I become president at WR.
I gonna buy WR, Google and Facebook. - I will buy google and facebook only for fun - I'll transform google in a huge porn search engine.
 
@GustavoBandeira And you'll be treated like this elzr.com/posts/wolfram-feynman
 
R.M
@GustavoBandeira It already exists. It's called bing
 
@R.M lol
Wolfram and Bandeira.

Gustavo Bandeira to Stephen Wolfram:
-Yo noob.

Stephen Wolfram to Gustavo Bandeira:
-Yo dawg
Beli!
You're from argentina!
Sing this song to the girls out there:
Rammstein proeficiency at spanish is amazing. xD
Ai que rico un dos tres
 
deplorable
 
R.M
1:11 AM
 
I'm thinking on making music with toy keyboards.
 
@R.M the blue one is far better
gotta go
bye!
 
R.M
1:26 AM
bye
 
@GustavoBandeira try representing this with your precious MIDI! ;)
 
 
1 hour later…
2:44 AM
@OleksandrR. I got a book on circuit bending.
 
 
4 hours later…
6:23 AM
Beli is back. =)
 
 
15 hours later…
9:10 PM
Two days of nominations to go. I'd say we need at least one more nominee. @heike perhaps? @acl?
 
 
2 hours later…
11:31 PM
I am seeling my vote! 100U$D!
