yes

but I need help myself :|

Raphael

Nobody can't help you if you don't speak up. :) Have you posted on the site yet?

Mathematics

@Raphael Yes, but seems like I need to improve my question which I am doing at the moment :)

Raphael

@Mathematics Okay, great!

@user125535 I posted an elaborate comment on your question.

Q: Merge Tree of tables into a single flat table

Overview I use Microsoft OData Query Builder library to generate nested tables but I need flat table. To achieve this I have 2 possible solutions, Modify the nested JSON I receive to create a flat table Let OData Query Builder generate nested tables and then I convert them into flat table. I...

@Raphael not sure how related my question is to CS, but please have a see, I updated it now

It appears to me that cs SE has less post than a year ago, did some kind of trimming happen? or I am wrong, the number is ok.

D.W.

@Jim I don't know. Where are you getting your numbers from? Do you mean fewer posts total, or fewer posts per week? I know there's an automated algorithm to remove old questions that have been abandoned, didn't get upvotes, got few views.

In principle that could cause a reduction in the total number of posts (though in practice I kinda doubt it; I suspect we get more new questions than are deleted by those automated processes).

The flood of duplicates...

@Mathematics Programmin questions are offtopic on Computer Science so you posted in the right place. :)

@Jim The data I can see (mod information) does not support that. Quite the opposite: Computer Science has been growing steadily, with seasonal fluctuation. We have hights in May and November, and lows in January and July. That probably corresponds nicely to lecture periods somewhere on the world.

The number of all posts was never as high as it was this spring.

(I do not know how clever the counting is regarding closed questions.)

The very recent question about Kruskal - afaik now is the moment that this excersise is executed... (I mean I got info from several sources that complexity measure and algorithm to be implemented are current tasks).

It is like cyclic event summer-mst time ;)

@Raphael does close vote when I am not sure disturbs or harms anyone? (Haven't voted yet).

Raphael

@EvilJS What's the verb in that sentence?

EvilJS

@Raphael disturbs / harms. Does "close vote" causes any harm (when it might be badly judged by me).

Raphael

Ah, I see. Hm. Not per se, no; other votes are needed. If you are the first, there may be some bias from future voters; it is easier to agree with a close vote than add to the pile, I think.

What to do in doubt is a personal decision.

EvilJS

@Raphael I thought exactly the same, hence the question arose.

vzn

@EvilJS might as well just cite the question

EvilJS

16:51

@vzn you are right, but this also creates a bias ;)

unix/linux ux general, this one.

@Raphael Am I remembering correctly that you had some recipe written in a... parallel way? :-) Maybe it was something done with latex

If so, were you using some package or something to do it? (I should probably google too)

(*presented in a "parallel way" is perhaps more what I meant)

Raphael

@Juho I have written some recipes up as flow charts, yes. :) I used plain TikZ, for better or worse.

Juho

Mind sharing something? Would love to see a pdf at least, to see if something like that would work for me too

Juho

19:29

@Raphael Seems like there are packages to do something like this as well. They are all missing the "parallel" aspect I very much liked in yours

Raphael

20:17

@Juho We are talking about this one, right?

I did have your email when we mailed about Kalle Rutanen's work, right?

Juho

20:51

Yes and yes :-)

Raphael

21:15

@Juho You got mail!

Auberon

Are we discussing food now on CS.SE? :)

MickLH

Do I see "food" out of the corner of my eye?

EvilJS

21:37

We should probably invite ourselves for curry, coconut chicken to Raphael or something fancy to Juho (since he want to prepare some parallel diagrams probably there will be soup included ;)

And there was question about command line...

EvilJS

22:16

@Raphael about this question - it is not a very good one. I tried to help, but failed, and after David did rollback it seems to be more problem dump than any learning exp. Summing it up maybe it should be closed or deleted anyway?

Raphael

@Auberon Maybe we should?

EvilJS

Jokes aside, there are pancake problems or optimal time cooking with limited resources ;)
