Hiya

Michael E2

Happy Friday the Thirteenth, everybody!

Rojo

@belisarius Aloooo

Verbeia

Welcome to the party, everyone!

Rojo

@belisarius No celebration question this time?

Verbeia

I've started the answering: mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/32220/8

belisarius

12:01 AM

@Rojo I proposed a 10K Happy prime question, but there was no quorum

Mr.Wizard

Hello @belisarius

Thanks, @MichaelE2

belisarius

@Mr.Wizard Hi Mr!

Mr.Wizard

@Verbeia are we going to play some games or something?

Rojo

@Mr.Wizard Ok, I just checked that the other idea is terribly slow. Thanks

@belisarius That's not happy :/

@Verbeia So we should "celebrate" answering unanswered questions?

Mr.Wizard

@Verbeia Is it possible to get rid of the trailing spaces on the wrapped lines?

Rojo

12:15 AM

What a silent party

Mr.Wizard

@Rojo I was about to ask if I was still connected.

Rojo

@Mr.Wizard Pinggg

@Mr.Wizard If you got that, you are

Party?

Hello mean one

>8(

12:17 AM

@robjohn That's the party spirit we were needing

robjohn

I thought so. I brought the party poopers... er, poppers.

Rojo

We should do a celebration 10K angry prime question

Mr.Wizard

Okay, since this "party" is looking lame, here is a challenge: find the "lamest" party picture you can in the next 120 seconds: Go! :-p

@belisarius you better participate

belisarius

@Mr.Wizard Sorry, just half of me here. The larger half is trying to get some work done

Q: WaveletScalogram in polar coordinates

For given dataset data = Re[Zeta[1/2 + I Range[0, 100, 0.01]]]; It is nice that Mathematica can plot data in both Cartesian and Polar coordinates. SetOptions[ListPolarPlot, Joined -> True]; #[data] & /@ {ListLinePlot, ListPolarPlot} WaveletScalogram is an insightful glance in temporal da...

Rojo

Hehe

Vitaliy Kaurov

I think this is basically a matrix plot in polar coordinates

it would be similar to pie chart in a sense that there are sectors to wrap around a disk

belisarius

This party is overwhelmingly dry. I need a beer

Rojo

I am having icecream

halirutan

@belisarius I take a Cuba Libre.

Vitaliy Kaurov

12:30 AM

i think that would be cool because such things: are probably wavelets

This party isn't what I expected and I came to it without any expectations whatsoever.

belisarius

@VitaliyKaurov why?

J. W. Perry

Pass the beer and point me to a terminal.

Mr.Wizard

ooookay, since we're silent as the grave I guess it's time for another challenge: Find the silliest picture to go with the phrase "I'm Batman!"

Rojo

Mr.Wizard

12:44 AM

@Rojo ouch!

J. W. Perry

Or we could play charades! Ok here I go, ... start guessing.

Mr.Wizard

Rojo

@J.W.Perry What's charades?

Haha

J. W. Perry

Charades

Charades or charade ( or ) is a word guessing game. In the form most played today, it is an acting game in which one player acts out a word or phrase, often by miming similar-sounding words, and the other players guess the word or phrase. The idea is to use physical rather than verbal language to convey the meaning to another party. In the United Kingdom, the game is traditionally played at Christmas and on New Year's Eve. Brief background It was originally also used to indicate a riddle either in verse or prose, of which the listener must guess the meaning, often given syllable by ...

Man that was cool. I threw a url in this chatterbox and the front of the page popped out. Nice touch!

Mr.Wizard

@belisarius I knew you'd have something. hehe

@J.W.Perry Okay, I'm ignorant; how do you play that in a chat room?

Vitaliy Kaurov

@belisarius why is it wavelets or why to do it?

belisarius

@VitaliyKaurov the first one

J. W. Perry

12:49 AM

@belisarius I have a strange sense of humor sometimes

belisarius

@J.W.Perry Welcome to the club

J. W. Perry

Basically my method is to throw as much silly crap in front of the audience (even at the risk of self deprecation) until someone laughs.

Vitaliy Kaurov

@belisarius 3rd paragraph here: aguasonic.com/about

belisarius

@J.W.Perry OK. I'm laughing. You can stop now

J. W. Perry

I was looking for a picture of a man falling from a building for the silliest picture to go with the phrase "I'm Batman", but my sensibilities kicked in at the last minute. Eesh, I am sorry I thought about that.

belisarius

12:53 AM

@VitaliyKaurov Oh I see. They are wavelets because they are. It's a good reason indeed

nice pics BTW

Vitaliy Kaurov

@belisarius ;-) he is very famous artist. would be nice to reproduce in M

m_goldberg

Although this is probably dumping oil on dead still water, could we consider closing this very old question? The answer is almost certainly NO, but this is a typically unprovable negative. I suggest closing it as needed WRI's expertise to answer. Anybody agree?

Rojo

@J.W.Perry Humor by torture.

Like virtual tickling

J. W. Perry

Hehe

Mr.Wizard

@m_goldberg Any special reason to despise that question?

J. W. Perry

12:59 AM

I do all my typeset in LaTeX. I just read more about palettes that I ever wanted to know.

m_goldberg

@Mr.Wizard. Very old and think it will never be answered. But it's not special; I despise many more questions.

Mr.Wizard

@m_goldberg I don't see the reason to close it myself. Obviously a number of people found the question interesting.

@belisarius what will burst into flame if I run that?

belisarius

@Mr.Wizard Not me

J. W. Perry

Do you guys actually use these palettes very often?

That was a serious question.

Rojo

1:02 AM

@J.W.Perry Hahahaha

J. W. Perry

Hahahaha back atcha :)

Mr.Wizard

@J.W.Perry "these" -- which are these?

J. W. Perry

Well the built in palettes in Mathematica. Or any palettes.

Rojo

@J.W.Perry Every now and then, I use the drawing tools

or some non built in palette

halirutan

@J.W.Perry My most often used palette is the SEUploader, then comes the colors, then the AttributeViewer. I almost never use the drawing tools and only sometimes the writing assistant.

m_goldberg

1:05 AM

@J.W.Perry I have a custom palette that I use in every MMA session.

belisarius

@m_goldberg "Quit Kernel?"

Mr.Wizard

@J.W.Perry Yes, quite often. I have a palette to open my most frequently used Notebooks that I use constantly. I use Szabolcs's Paste Tabular Data palette regularly. I use the Special Characters palette fairly often.

@halirutan Is AttributeViewer a custom or default palette?

J. W. Perry

Interesting. Maybe I should make my own custom palette(s). It is entirely possible that I go through life insisting on doing everything the hard way.

halirutan

@Mr.Wizard Custom palette

Mr.Wizard

@belisarius Shortcut keys are faster for that.

@Verbeia did you leave?

Verbeia

@Mr.Wizard sort of, I was in a meeting but back for a bit - but working.

Rojo

@Mr.Wizard What OS do you use?

Mr.Wizard

@Rojo Windows 7.

Rojo

1:14 AM

@Mr.Wizard Do you have MMA pinned to your task bar?

Mr.Wizard

@Rojo You are going to tell me there is an OS feature I could use instead of frequent Notebooks palette?

Rojo

@Mr.Wizard Well, I just pin my documents there

Right click on the mma icon and there they are

Verbeia

Hmm: this says we have 1008 unanswered questions; this says we have 992 with no upvoted answers. I would have thought that the latter should exceed the former, but whatever - who's going to pick up one of them?

Rojo

There's a recent list and an easy way to manually pin and unpin documents

@Verbeia I started picking one of them, but it is freezing my PC every time I test something, hehe

Mr.Wizard

@Rojo Thanks. I know, but I'm set in my ways.

Q: CUDALink ran out of available memory

I have a problem with automatic GPU memory management when using CUDA. The situation is the following: I create a simple CUDA function that operates on a 2D array (image), which does not take much memory space. This 2D array is passed as input then modified and output again. The function is load...

memory cudalink

@Mr.Wizard There's always something extra nice about what you built up yourself anyway

Vitaliy Kaurov

@belisarius yep that's a pretty one

Mr.Wizard

@Rojo For one thing every button on the palette is color-coded to match the title section of the Notebook it opens; this makes it faster for me to hit the right one.

belisarius

@VitaliyKaurov It was far easier than I thought at first

Vitaliy Kaurov

@belisarius what was easier?

belisarius

@VitaliyKaurov the first one

Vitaliy Kaurov

@belisarius i think i am completely confused

belisarius

@VitaliyKaurov It could be the beer. In these parties they buy discount

Q: Generate an aperiodic integer sequence

Your task is to build a piece of code that generates an aperiodic sequence of integers, either by outputting one every time it iterates, or by taking an integer n and returning the nth number in that sequence. Now, the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... is itself aperiodic, so I'm going to introduce...

code-golf math

J. W. Perry

That is actually a difficult task. It reminds me of the task of trying to write a piece of true pure atonal music. As I recall it cannot be done for more than a measure or so in my father's description.

3:22 AM

Does anyone know why the GeoDistance/GeoDirection/Geo* functions are slow? Anyone here that uses them on a regular basis?

belisarius

@Verbeia Curiously, I don't find the unanswered count going up as a negative measure. Perhaps some kind of deformed pseudo-scientific view of the world, but without unanswered questions a subject becomes dead

Verbeia

@belisarius Yes, but 10% is a bit much. I think some have just been swamped by being hard questions in a rising tide of questions. We get 30-40 every day now, which is way more than I can look at.

rm -rf

@belisarius I agree with that... I guess Verbeia's and partly mine and some others' concern is that some of those unanswered questions remain unanswered simply because the question is uninteresting/the answer is a one-liner/too simple, etc. In such cases, it should either be closed or answered, so that the "unanswered" list will actually reflect the unasnwerable questions.

belisarius

@rm-rf may be. I was talking about the first few pages. Perhaps there are hordes of uninteresting questions behind them

rm -rf

@belisarius Yes, but what's in the "first few" depends on sorting order, and not everyone sorts by votes (some don't know that there's a tab for that). So it's quite likely that the boring ones are in front...

belisarius

belisarius

@BrettChampion Animal traffic is forbidden in this site

and also a lot of almost but not quite completely unlike things

Brett Champion

@belisarius Brookfield Zoo near Chicago has a nature exchange where kids can bring in things they find in nature to get points. The points can then be redeemed to get other items that have been brought in. My child was very upset before our last visit when I explained that every cool item that had been collected recently was on the "not allowed" list.

rm -rf

4:02 AM

@BrettChampion I don't have premier support, so I almost never contact support because I'm not hopeful of a response... In any case, here's an example:

With[{pts = Transpose@{RandomReal[{-90, 90}, #], RandomReal[{-180, 180}, #]} &},
    {pts1, pts2} = pts /@ {200, 1000};
    GeoDistance @@@ Tuples[{pts1, pts2}];
]

Takes forever...

In contrast, MATLAB was about 1 second (or somewhere in that order), IIRC. I don't have a license checked out right now, so can't time it immediately.

I now use MATLAB for this part of the work, which is good... use the best parts of each, etc., but I'm surprised that this takes so long on Mathematica.

I have a function called InputFieldAutoComplete[list,num] here.

Currently I am doing the following

CellPrint[Cell[
  AutoCompleteField[{"a", "b", "c", "d", "e"}, 4]
  , "Output"
  ]
 ]

Is there a better approach to trying to create custom GUI elements?

More specifically how might I edit the Module part of the code such that multiple AutoCompleteField's can be in the same Cell.

So something like this could work

CellPrint[Cell[
  Row[{
    AutoCompleteField[{"a", "b", "c", "d", "e"}, 4],
    AutoCompleteField[{"a", "b", "c", "d", "e"}, 4]

Hi

Chris's sis

How may one sum over $k\in \mathbb{N}$ excepting the numbers that are divisible by $2$ and $3$?

@Rojo Hi

PlatoManiac

Hi guys!

I just noticed mathematica.stackexchange.com/users/240/…

my reputation was diminished by -95 and it shows the user was removed!

I can make a sense of this...anyone explain plzz!

ssch

@PlatoManiac when a user gets deleted their votes get deleted too

... at least sometimes

399

Q: What does "user was removed" mean and why did my reputation change because of it?

It seems I have lost 5 reputation points on Stack Overflow yesterday. The reason given in my history is "removed". On mouse over I get the message "user was removed". I don't understand what that means. What caused this? Return to FAQ index

@Rojo @ssch Thx for the info!

Verbeia

@PlatoManiac I lost 55. Well, we will just have to get on with some of those unanswered questions. ;)

Sjoerd C. de Vries

Hmmm "-125 User was removed"

Rojo

The user voted quite a bit

They should leave the votes

Sjoerd C. de Vries

Any idea who this was?

Rojo

@SjoerdC.deVries Removed[user]

Hello everybody!

Sjoerd C. de Vries

Hi @Leonid

Leonid Shifrin

Hi @SjoerdC.deVries

How's the party going?

Sjoerd C. de Vries

I'm still at work so can't really chat now

Leonid Shifrin

I see. I came myself for a short time only, just to see what's up. No time for serious fun, alas.

kirma

I wonder what's the time zone distribution here. Soon off from work here...

Leonid Shifrin

12:39 PM

Oh boy, I just lost 142 rep since some user was removed. S/he found no better day for that. Too bad.

kirma

Heh. I also lost ten points.

Leonid Shifrin

I wonder who was that, and why s/he decided to leave.

@kirma My condolences ...

@kirma Re: time zone - would be same with me.

Rojo

@LeonidShifrin Alo

Leonid Shifrin

@Rojo Hola

@Rojo What's up?

Rojo

@LeonidShifrin Not much. At work, morning, trying to survive a night without sleep

and no, it wasn't because of the 10k party

Leonid Shifrin

12:46 PM

@Rojo I just wanted to ask :)

Rojo

How's everything over there? How's Snowden doing?

Leonid Shifrin

@Rojo Well, there is not much known, except that he has an official political protection now. I didn't really follow the latest news about him.

@Rojo But whatever my small understanding is, he is just a small part of a much bigger game.

Rojo

@LeonidShifrin It seems one man became almost more important to the public than the things he revealed. I don't understand most people really

but it was a rethoric question almost, I just wanted to ask :)

Verbeia

At least he hasn't done a bad 80s style music video like Julian Assange did for the Australian election recently

Rojo

I know that even if you knew, or if he was hiding at your home, you would be under a NDA :P. Same happens if I ask you what are you developing for MMA 10

@Verbeia Really?

Don't let me watch that

Leonid Shifrin

12:52 PM

@Rojo Yeah. Things are going all right. I am a quite busy with work these days.

Verbeia

@Rojo it's on YouTube, but don't look. It's five minutes of your life you won't get back.

Leonid Shifrin

@Rojo Well, let me just say that it will be one of the central features, and long requested by many. This time it is not my solo project though, many other folks are involved.

Hi @Verbeia!

@Verbeia Nice party here!

@Rojo I just hope we manage to get this ready for V10. Tons of work still ahead of us.

Verbeia

Do spidering some of the crazy micro parties that got elected to our Senate this time, you'd think he would have done better in his bid to be elected to the Senate, not that he could actually attend Parliamentary sittings.

Rojo

@LeonidShifrin :) I'll be cheering from here

Leonid Shifrin

@Rojo Thanks, appreciated :)

Verbeia

12:55 PM

Me too, whatever it is.

Leonid Shifrin

@Rojo How are things going with you?

Verbeia

Obviously we can't discuss this, but if anyone is reading, some documentation of TemporalData and a fix for the EMF bar chart bug would both be very welcome.

Btw we are at 9997 questions. So almost there...

Leonid Shifrin

@Verbeia TemporalData, AFAIK, is Andy's territory, and I don't know almost anything about it, except that he is working like crazy.

Verbeia

@LeonidShifrin multiple undo ;)

Leonid Shifrin

@Verbeia And for BarChart, perhaps Brett knows more.

@Verbeia Undo - well, let's have some hope :)

Rojo

12:59 PM

@LeonidShifrin It's good, busy months. My work situation is a little bit messy, a couple of alternatives opened but I still lack information to decide what to do so.
