@ʞɹɐzǝɹ oh that is a hard question to answer fully right now
I still don't have precise ratings for any significant number of my tracks
working on it slowly
gotta rethink the logic of some components of my rating app
just like I did with the bot app, but this time there's a lot less code
@MadaraUchiha can you give me some advice on figuring out the class structure of an app from its logic?
I'm trying to find a good approach to designing an application from scratch
like I know what processes will happen and what kind of data will be passed around
a long time ago when I just started coding, I simply created lots of empty classes and methods and then filled in the code, but when something unexpected appeared, there were a lot of changes to be made
then I just coded the smallest working app and added onto it, and it required regular total rehaul
I'd like to shift to something that could be extended more easily, like I did at the start
how should I convert the process logic to methods and state manager classes in OOP?
The very general approach is to define what your app does in a couple of sentences.
uh-huh
The nouns are classes, and the verbs are behaviors on those classes
00:11
cool didn't think of it that way
That's a very quick and dirty kind of way
actually this makes a tremendous amount of sense
Try thinking in small logical units of code
Units that do one thing at a time, while relying on the other parts to do their thing correctly
If your app is "A bot that posts funny images into a chatroom"
Then clearly the "Bot" and the "Chatroom" are important pieces
00:13
this is basically what I've been doing all along, but now that you put it into words, it sounds like a way to code by
"FunnyImage" might be a thing as well
"Post(FunnyImage image)" is probably a key method
TaggedImage >.>
the tags are on their way
Another thing I can advise you is to learn design patterns
where do I get the gist of the relevant ones?
You don't know what the relevant ones are until you know them :P
00:15
okay, all of them
if that's the only way
Several key ones you want to learn are Decorator, Facade, Factory, Observer/Observable
@Hakase you're beeing too greedy
Start with those, and work your way up from there
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ am I? I do want to know a lot of things, true dat
@MadaraUchiha thanks, noted and on my todo list
you guys are very helpful, you know
thanks you for that
#fixit
00:22
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Looks like there is no such command.
there should be one
what should it do?
00:36
there's a user in the comments named UndeadPotato
I wonder if Logan added any undead girls in his pic list
I think there are probably a few
!!tell 18927766 fixit
@Hakase wut is this three dee shenanigans
oh boy! (wixoss spoilers)
nicely animated
oh so that talking loaf of bread was from jinrui
damn I should be watching
why does Commie release in volumes rather than batches?
does a volume hold a single story arc or what?
@LoganM do you have any Cute Girl Value ratings or do you just use the Logan's rating system to determine what is worth watching and don't have any gradations of quality/satisfaction?
wakarimasen
@Hakase I use Cute/Meh/Not Cute ratings. That's about it, and even for that there are lots of debatable cases.
@Hakase that's easy, there's 6 BD/DVD vols
00:57
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ I didn't even think of that
@LoganM I like it. Simple and effortless
anime comes in torrent form for me
@Hakase oh, you commie, you
don't have a party to join?
@LoganM incidentally this is the rating system I'm currently using for my music
just yes/no didn't cut it
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ a tea party
I remember there was a pirate party once
in any case, doesn't anime air on national tv for free?
so there's not much bad stuff I'm doing
01:05
@Hakase pls elaborate
>:\
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ if it had a price, that would be not paying for it
but it doesn't cost viewers anything
so there's no harm in watching tv recordings
sure I may not be watching weird Japanese ads but I wouldn't be able to buy any of the advertised products or services anyway
@Hakase you see, it's illegal to upload any copyrighted material that you don't hold the copyright, or have been given express permission by the copyright holder to do so
It's completely legal to download almost anything
I prefer not to think of copyright as anything important
the important thing is to appreciate the creators' work by repaying them somehow
P2P (i.e torrents), by design, will upload parts of the file you are downloading, therefore technically you are breaking the law
eh laws shmaws
01:13
easy for you to say ;p
it's a broken design the goal of which was supposed to be what I described above
but it isn't working as intended
be that as it may, it's still the law, and it's not changing anytime soon
we'll see what happens in the future
"uikurosu"
the animation is very nice
backgrounds I like
the characters too
more tea!
01:19
@Hakase wanna play it online?
I haven't seen the first 4 minutes even
no idea watcha talkin bout
I'll look when I see what's going on
you could make a post about it :p

Q: Bleach anime - what can be skipped?

ViRALiCBleach is one of those shows that you either love or hate, but I'm one of the few who have never gotten around to finding out what end of that spectrum I land on. The problem with these really long animes is that they tend to be so heavily bloated with filler, that it's downright hard to trod th...

@Hakase Q: who wants to play wixoss A: tumbleweed badge
02:06
Piruruk-tan
sounds so funny xD
maybe we could play together
need to see the other 10 episodes first to know
Did we ever decide who was best LRIG?
"DESPERATE" is the new "URGENT": stackoverflow.com/questions/27327357/…
I'm surprised it's really the first time I've seen it on SO.
Does math.SE get a lot of URGENT questions?
Not so much from what I've seen. There might have been a couple.
@Taisho is her face really off or is it just me?
It's off.
02:18
#post a better one
@Mysticial The xoxo just takes the cake
lol someone upvoted it
02:28
Did you mean loli?
nope, but even better
@Taisho her peace sign is also off
what is this "weace"
or is it Wixoss?
it's interesting in several ways I haven't seen a lot in anime before
that grandma knows something
this requires more tea
wish I had cookies
oh sh…
you're an adult, you can go to the store and buy cookies if you want them that much.
not if it's 5:39 and no stores open in vicinity
Do you not have 24 hour convenience stores?
02:40
you know the kinds of cookies they sell there
bad ones
what if there's a Selector girl which doesn't know what she wants and it might be something that some other Selectors don't?
she'd be a problem for everybody
a giant walking risk
there are so many ways this could go after the 3 episode
Just keep watching wixoss is gud.
girls are very sweet
I dunno Ruu is pretty weird. Also probably best girl tho
she's not weird she just doesn't know anything about anything
also it would be a cool turn of events if she went for granting the other Selectors' wishes as her own wish
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Depend on jurisdiction
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Except for 19:00-02:00 UTC, other times are fine
03:02
huh sup with Iona
what does she know about rights and wrongs of playing this game
Time to watch TLR OVA
Oh yeah that came out recently
03:19
1.8m tall wall scroll with that design coming out in February. I wish I had space for it.
Amatsukaze... the kanji is really hard to read
Probably all kun-yomi

I went into this thing not expecting compensation or even any tangible support from the SE head quarters but the ...

Q: What is the "profile URL" field asking for when deleting an account?

I have no idea what this is and no amount of searching this site has yielded any results, nor is it ever mentioned in the help center s...

That guy doesn't understand anything about how Area51 works
I imagine the SE team's response to these sorts of things isn't "Oh man we really lost a great user" but "we really lucked out having this guy leave on his own".
Relevant screencaps for posterity: 1 2 3 (not sure if there are others but these are the only currently undeleted ones)

Doesn't look like there's anything currently deleted, at least from the past 24 hours on either meta.diy or discuss.a51.

Q: What's so special about prince shotoku?

ton.yeungKanie said he did an impression of prince shotoku in episode 10. Mofu got really excited, and according to Shotoku's wikipedia article, he was some sort of big shot back in the old days. I don't really get why Mofu would be so excited, why Kanie would think an impression of Shotoku is a good id...

@ton.yeung Original by Pixiv artist Gemi: pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=40535770. I've probably got a couple more of theirs, which coul be why you recognize it I guess.
I can't say I like this one that much. Girl is too small. The artist's other works are usually better.
04:51
@LoganM I'm sure SE gives approximately zero fucks about it. Or maybe one - the fuck needed to actually clean up the mess.
I wish I had 3k rep on A51 now. I could get only the fifth ever Custodian badge on Discussion zone for the reopen queue if I did.
It's actually really hard to get custodian badges on A51 discussion zone. Possibly the hardest anywhere in the network. Close votes which aren't cast by moderators are rare. Reopen votes are rarer. Both require 3k to review. The only other option are suggested edit reviews, which are also rare and tag wiki only, which means they're restricted to 5k users.

Q: Dance in the Vampire Buns Anime ending

Brad WhovilleI was about to watch Dance in the Vampire Bund, but I read that the manga continued far past the anime. Did the anime have a conclusive/satisfactory ending or does it feel like something is missing. I really dislike when anime don't really end and just leave the watcher on a cliffhanger (spice ...

@Sakamoto I also don't want to get "ingested in an anime".

It's about a main character who is gets stabbed by this magical chick with one half of this sword and binds a contract with him s...

05:28
@LoganM I think you could ask mods to grant you the appropriate rights, seems to me they wouldn't be against it
3 episode of Uikurosu left, this has turned out to be pretty interesting
Is it any good?
I couldn't watch past the first episode
it's good, but not as good as it could've been I suppose
7.5/10 is my current rating
8 is something I would definitely recommend
I didn't feel like watching anything else today, otherwise I wouldn't have watched it so quickly
my to-watch list is pretty long and filled with 7.5 titles
Is it dark-mahou-shoujou genre like Madoka?
I had to compare it to Madoka
it's not that good
and it's different enough
feels like a normal school-based adventure/drama with dark parts
05:36
Selector Infected Wixoss
so I can't say I'm recommending it
watch at your risk
haven't watch it but 3.215/5 rate wasn't convincing enough
n/5 doesn't convert very well to n/10
0.001 isn't good enough?
that was like 6.43
05:42
the… mental approach to choosing a rating depends too much on the rating system
if it was n/100 the results would be different
also the user base is different for each rating site
n/100 is too much for rating movie
or anything
it all results in vague ratings if you don't know what to expect
yea I realize that
once you see a lot of works and see how they got rated on each site, you'll get the idea of how the users tend to bias their votes
05:45
the "I'll add/take a point because I feel very strongly about this work" factor plays out very differently for rating systems where a single vote matters more or less than in the others
so the only good advice would be to give someone the rating and also add that it is most true for a specific community where the ratings are the most precise
like IMDB or MAL
both use n/10 and the bias works about the same
AP rating seems good enough for me, we have so much in common
I have both tho
I had a hard time trying to figure out AP's ratings' true meaning
or to be precise, the AP's ratings value on MAL's scale
because the true meaning of the ratings will always vary and differently for different kinds of shows (depends on the genre and target audience)
at most it's usually not more than 3 points, but that's very vague
in conclusion: ratings are bad
people can't be trusted
everyone is dishonest
and you can only assess the value of anything if you experience it yourself
with this I'm signing off to the bed
yea sometimes I watch even 2 rate but most 2 star anime (or anything) are not that good, even sometimes I found 4 stars are bad
I'll just lowered my expectation on those low star thing
still going to watch it tho
actually no
people can be trusted in them never being 100% objective
is what I meant to say
ironic
then why would you even bother to rate those thing
05:54
I can try to be objective
and I think I'm doing my best at ratings
most people don't bother trying
they rely on others knowing that
which is lame because you don't know how many lazy people like that voted for a certain work
which is why I said the target audience and the rating site's user base matters a lot
some sites' users have a large percent of those who try to be objective
but there are genres which tend to attract those who will always rate max/N or min/N
and there are algos that help weigh down these votes
but still it's difficult to tell the real average since never 100% of voters are being 100% objective
but I think that MAL's ratings at least for the kinds of shows I prefer, are closest to the truth
Gekkan shoujo is a funny show, but not a show I would recommend, unless people specifically ask for comedy show
@Hakase you know what they say about arguing over the internet? "Never argue with someone who type faster than you". I'll just give up here....
@nhahtdh that's what I like :D
was it good?
yes, as a comedy show
their art style kinda like shoujo thing....
from what I saw
Nozaki-kun is a parody of shoujo manga, so the art looks like it.
06:05
and also have a lot of guy
@OshinoShinobu: Hello Kitty x Monogatari (Sankaku, NSFW)
:D
ah yea, NSFW on side bar
@OshinoShinobu Yeah but Chiyo is cute enough for the show to be worth watching by herself.
that's good enough reason to watch it
If you ask me who is second best girl though, I'm not sure who it is. Maybe Mamiko. Other than Chiyo the female cast is not very cute overall.
06:20
all other girls are just minor character? I don't know if I can make it with only one heroine
Other heroines are for jokes
ah I see

!!wiki futanari
Futanari (ふたなり, seldom: 二形, 双形, literally: dual form; 二成, 双成, literally: [to be of] two kinds), is the Japanese word for hermaphroditism, which is also used in a broader sense for androgyny. Beyond Japan the term is used to describe a commonly pornographic genre of computer games, comics and animations, which includes characters that show both primary sexual characteristics. In today's language it refers almost exclusively to characters who have an overall feminine appearance. In that case the term is also often abbreviated as futa(s), which is occasionally also used as a generalized term for the...

Mindwin spoiler heavy! If you watch just the first episodes, it is a ordinary Mahou Shoujo for tween girls anime... But the plot thickens into something too heavy for young girls to digest (imo) soon enough. With that in mind, where does it fall?
