@El'endiaStarman Variations of Life feature request: load grid by copying and pasting a grid into somewhere? (e.g. if I generate a grid with a program and want to copy it over)
Not sure I can speak on behalf of the room, but I think it'd be more correct to say that the people best equipped at answering Haskell questions aren't currently in the room, although the rest of us can most certainly try
I feel like if it's Haskell you could just let it pattern match to the first one that works at runtime, but I don't know if that's what Haskell really does
I'm experimenting with this code:
interface Callee {
public void foo(Object o);
public void foo(String s);
public void foo(Integer i);
}
class CalleeImpl implements Callee
public void foo(Object o) {
logger.debug("foo(Object o)");
}
public void foo(String s) {

I made with pen, paper and a calculator the most magic 16x16 (and from there a 32x32, 64x64 etc.) Franklin square. All the horizontals and verticals add up to 2056, all the half ones (of wich there are horizontally as well as vertically 5 ones) add up to 1028, all the fourth ones (of wich there a...
Eh, that was poorly worded. Sorry, I just thought you might this article interesting, since you like Paul Graham, and this guy... well, I was wondering what your reaction to an opposing viewpoint might be
Given the input tilesX and tilesY create a method that would make a square ring from the tiles.
The function must order the tiles in a ring like this:
tilesX and tilesY are always positive integer values, cannot be 0
tilesX and tilesY are not always equal, expect values like: 2x5, 6x3 etc.

The damson (/ˈdæmzən/) or damson plum (Prunus domestica subsp. insititia, or sometimes Prunus insititia), also archaically called the "damascene" is an edible drupaceous fruit, a subspecies of the plum tree. Varieties of insititia are found across Europe, but the name "damson" is derived from and most commonly applied to forms which are native to Ireland and Great Britain. Damsons are relatively small plum-like fruit with a distinctive, somewhat astringent taste, and are widely used for culinary purposes, particularly in fruit preserves or jam.
In South and Southeast Asia, the term "damson plum...
@Downgoat How does radial gradient work? I need to have a circular linear gradient that changes with a player's movement. (It's just a circle with a white highlight.)
@flawr also, IDK if it's your thing, but rainbow six siege is reallly really fun. A great shooter. Sort of the oppisite of open world though. IMHO i'd say better then fallout because you can play w/ friends and stuff.
I tried that once, I gave up after I couldn't figure out how to do multiplication.
Ok I have an idea that I need some help implementing. I'm writing a 2D galaga type game. I want the background (which is currently solid black) to have light beams passing by in the background sorta like the way hyper-drive looks in star wars. How should I do this? I'm thinking an array of coordinates that I use as the front of each line. Then at each interval I update the x++
Anyway, regarding income inequality, @Sherlock9, I remember reading a blog post several years ago that dealt with the question of "Why would God allow inequality?", and their answer was basically "Because without inequality you can't have generosity.". Seriously, I'm really looking forward to having a good salary because then I can be more generous. If you squash any hope of getting rich, you likely also squash generosity.
@CatsAreFluffy "but an answer's OK, seeing as you have less than 50 reputation" No it's not. That's not an excuse for posting a non-answer as an answer.
@Fatalize I'm normally interested in discussing such issues, but with that tone, it seems to me like you've pretty much already made up your mind, so I see no point in trying to have a discussion.
That the question involved God is not what I was looking to point out. It's the idea that you can't have generosity without inequality.
That I'm sure we can have a good and interesting discussion about.
Bill Gates is fantastically wealthy and he has a passion for eradicating poverty, so his contributions to reducing poverty and eliminating malaria are making a huge impact, especially in Africa.
@poi830 True, but think of how significant and meaningful it is when a middle-class person gives a homeless guy on the street a hundred bucks. That's like hitting the jackpot for that guy.
The super rich corporations and families are keeping all the money to themselves, which is really the problem.
To look at it another way, is it worth it to reduce or eliminate one good thing (generosity) in favor of reducing or eliminating one bad thing (inequality)?
i think the homeless person in your example would be happier overall if he weren't homeless than if he got money, even if the money would make him immediately happier
Every time I see TED's introduction to one of their videos, it strikes me just how good the intro is. They put the central goal of TED into visual form.
It's really one of the best intros/visual metaphors I've ever seen.
