Q: Chaotic Number Shuffling

You have a deck of cards, consisting of cards with non-negative numbers on them, and you haven't shuffled it yet, and no player trusts the other players to be fair at shuffling. You devise a way to shuffle the deck that is completely deterministic, but chaotic enough that the other players are ok...

Because it's a mod/cm thing

Those are generally done by Grace Note

I figured as much. Meh. I wonder if our mods know about / can do it.

It's probably a cm only thing

What? There's a Pokemon Yellow remake?

Bigtoes

@Quill I wish. Rep with no work?

Quill

;-; I haven't got it yet

Bigtoes

@AquaTart Uh, well re-release is more like it.

Aqua Tart

@Bigtoes Oh.

Bigtoes

But yea, 3DS virtual console.

Quill

12:34 AM

@AquaTart not a remake. ^ it's on the 3DS eShop btw

Aqua Tart

Oh lame

Maltysen

how much is it?

Aqua Tart

I was hoping for a full remake.

I have Pokemon Yellow (somewhere) so no point

Supposedly you'll be able to connect to the Bank to transfer forward later in the year.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ That's easy. It's just a dyadic fork.

Alex A.

12:37 AM

@Bigtoes Has Minibits ever watched you ruin someone's hopes and dreams by downvoting them?

Bigtoes

Of course he has. How else will he learn?

Maltysen

@mınxomaτ that looks pretty uniform and like grass

El'endia Starman

@mınxomaτ I actually suspected that it's biased towards the more popular ones.

Alex A.

@Bigtoes Well, they say everyone experiments in college. Personally I stayed clear of downvoting in college.

Aqua Tart

If a is your right argument and b is your left:

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:38 AM

@AquaTart but... I thought forks were monadic?

Alex A.

@Quill Do you have an iPhone?

Bigtoes

@AlexA. He's getting a head start. No point in waiting until college.

Alex A.

I would say +1 but that feels ironic

Aqua Tart

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Nope.

Bigtoes

@AlexA. Irony is always welcome, as is sarcasm.

Maltysen

12:39 AM

> downvoting - not even once

Aqua Tart

They can be both.

> An isolated sequence of three verbs is called a fork. The general scheme is that if f is a monad, g is a dyad and h is a monad then for any argument y,

Alex A.

@Quill I really hope you aren't kidding.

Aqua Tart

Right, that's a monadic fork.

Maltysen

12:39 AM

@Quill does she really?

Aqua Tart

There's also dyadic forks.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

oh

lemme rerereread that then

Aqua Tart

oh wait

Ohh, you need b n a too

Alex A.

I saw a job listing that mentioned J. I realized that if they use J, their entire codebase is probably unreadable. So I just let that one go.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@AquaTart yeah that's what's tripping me up

Maltysen

12:41 AM

@AlexA. it was a typo - they meant to say Julia, you missed out big

Aqua Tart

You need a 5-train then, little more complicated.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

since x (f g) y = x f (g y), then a f (g (b n a)) = a f g (b n a)

Bigtoes

@AquaTart ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

@Maltysen If they make typos in their job listings then they probably aren't too serious about hiring anyway. :P

@Quill I interviewed for a job once that mentioned familiarity with PHP as a plus. Before the interview I started the Codecademy PHP track. I didn't get very far because that language is garbage.

did you get the job?

Alex A.

Nope

Turns out employers want this thing called "experience"

@AlexA. Hadoop?

I searched my .bash_history for the line with the highest ratio of special characters to regular alphanumeric characters, and the winner was: cat out.txt | grep -o "[[(].*[])][^)]]*$" ... I have no memory of this and no idea what I was trying to do, but I sure hope it worked.

Apache Hadoop

Apache Hadoop is an open-source software framework written in Java for distributed storage and distributed processing of very large data sets on computer clusters built from commodity hardware. All the modules in Hadoop are designed with a fundamental assumption that hardware failures are common and should be automatically handled by the framework. The core of Apache Hadoop consists of a storage part, known as Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), and a processing part called MapReduce. Hadoop splits files into large blocks and distributes them across nodes in a cluster. To process data, Hadoop...

You'll have to test it.

@EasterlyIrk What?

@Maltysen Did you mention the adult male stranger on the Internet who told you about it?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@AquaTart Uhh what is this? I know that ] retains left argument and [ retains right argument, but I don't know what they do together.

Easterly Irk

@AlexA. I think that will go even worse....

Maltysen

@AlexA. I was getting the vibe that that wasn't really gonna help my case

Aqua Tart

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ It's a 5-train.

Easterly Irk

12:48 AM

I mentioned an adult male stranger who was good at golfing to my parents and almost got banned from SE.

Bigtoes

@Maltysen What about "a little bird told me"?

Alex A.

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that parents love strangers on the internet.

Apparently with the exception of Riker's and Maltysen's...

Maltysen

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@EasterlyIrk This is why I do this without my parents knowing >_>

@AlexA. As a parent, I'd have to say so far, so good.

Basically it takes the fork [ g n] with the left argument being f [ and the right argument being the right argument

I'll bet the right side of the stick broke when the dog tilted its head and it hit the ground.

Bigtoes

I'll take that bet. It looks too long even after going through.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Nope, it's still very much visable.

El'endia Starman

I'm talking about to the right of that.

Bigtoes

12:57 AM

Also, it'd have to be a pretty poor stick to break with that little pressure and no jerking movement of the rest of it.

El'endia Starman

Could've rotted. It had probably been laying on the ground for a long time.

It's possible I guess, but the rest of the stick looks pretty good. Dunno.

There's a frame where you can see part of the stick beyond the fence after it would've hit the ground. That part is no longer visible afterwards.
