@Fabby why are you paying a late penalty? why don't you just deliver something? what is it you are supposed to be delivering? when is the final delivery date? how can you say "here it is but bug fixes are coming later"?
@terdon remember my Ask Ubuntu web scraping app written in bash? any ideas of a good home for it? it feels incomplete without an audience...
Ah, we discussed that with Nathan a while back and he agreed that it could go to stackapps (I think, best ask him) but in the form of a post, not a question. Best ask Nathan directly though.
Well, you need to tell us everything you've tried here on the site, otherwise some idiot is going to press the Close this as a duplicate button because there is an absolute lack of evidence that it's not a duplicate! — Fabby2 mins ago
@WinEunuuchs2Unix When you hire someone to do something from a certain date to another date, you have to pay them regardless of whether they could perform their work or not.
when they can only start working after the period you've hired them for, you have to hire them again...
but they have been hired by someone else, so you have to pay the other guy to hire someone else and the first guy to come back and actually start working...
Lady at work was handing out free packs of Marlboro's one of her husband's employees brought back from the Phillipines. It was a great day for free smokes :)
I could go to nearest gas station to buy a pack, but 1)I kinda don't wanna, 2) it's getting windy outside, 3) there might be shady elements there, 4) I'm just bloody lazy today
@TheWanderer I sort of have. I've a box with 3 kinds of pipe tobacco and couple cigars, which I kind of stopped using when I got into cigarettes completely
@TheWanderer lets just put it like this: quitting smoking isn't easy for some people. And for some people ( like myself ) it's quite easy , but they just don't want to. Plus what Fabby said - it's a form of relaxation
Gosh, I don't wanna go to the lecture today. Well, we don't have a lecture. I need to work on my traffic light thing, but I'm just . . . out of energy for anything today.
@WinEunuuchs2Unix Sort of yes. We are simulating it. Traffic lights are going to be LEDs (so total of 6 lights including left turn arrows, so 8 lights) and we have like 3 inputs
Problem with this design is that for the most part we've been designing state machines with only 1 input and state transitions. But now we have 3 inputs. So that's gonna make design complex.
I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it and actually decide what is supposed to play with what
yeah, but I also need to consider the states. If I represent states via traffic lights, I also need to consider them in combination with inputs. So 8 lights + 3 inputs, that's 11 bits, so many more combinations
And this is where I'm stuck. I'm pretty sure this is wrong, but I don't know how to limit it to lower number of combos
