@Donald.McLean So very true, i used to work for the biggest wedding ring manufacturer in the UK handling millions of pounds of platinum and gold every year and got to keep some too ;)
I'm reading through Write Yourself a Scheme after finishing going through Learn You a Haskell. I attempted one of the early exercises: writing a program to get an operator and two numbers and do a computation. It works fine.

I have written a Python 2.6.6 script in order to make tables by taking the third column of every text file in a particular subgroup (signal and background in this case[particle physics]). However, I used the exec command too often and I think this code can be written more elegantly. I would appre...
Say when a word/sentence like "veryveryveryveryveryverylongword" gets cut off to "veryveryvery...", how do you call those "..." that replace the remainder of the word then?
Suppose there is a long sentence like:
This London hit show took America by storm, full of charm, humour and delightful songs that make it a perfect theatrical event for the entire family.
And you want to cut it off after an arbitrary specified amount of characters like so:
This London...
I want to generate a list of N different random numbers.
I'm doing this in a following way:
public static List<int> GetRandomNumbers(int count)
{
List<int> randomNumbers = new List<int>();
for (int i=0; i<count; i++)
{
int number;
do number = random.Next();

@rolfl @Pimgd I'm not exactly sure how to explain, but that's not what I mean... I mean that now there's ... inserted, but it could as well be ||| in another language, if you understand it now?
an omission
Ellipsis (plural ellipses; from the Ancient Greek: ἔλλειψις, élleipsis, "omission" or "falling short") is a series of dots that usually indicates an intentional omission of a word, sentence, or whole section from a text without altering its original meaning.
From the Wiki for El...

Yes, there definitely is.
You generate a collection of elements, mash it around and start pulling items out of it. A quick oneliner would be:
Enumerable.Range(0,100).OrderBy(x => Guid.NewGuid()).Take(20);
This will give you 20 unique random values from the 0 to 100 range.
The difference wit...
The orthographic object is called an "ellipsis", as you say; the editorial act is called an elision, excision, truncation, and so on and so forth. What are you asking? — Dan Bron2 mins ago
the name of the object that represents the portion removed
The comments I'm getting on the answer seem to be of a too high level of English understanding, but I don't feel comfortable with the English Language Learners either
if you want to make it truly universal, I guess you could call it an omission mark or omission punctuation, but I'd wager that more people would just understand ellipsis

@Yuushi Every job has moments that suck. But an overflowing toilet has to be cleaned up by someone. The quote has more to do with the value of people. Someone who has a white collar job and looks down on people who have blue collar jobs is a useless idiot, because he doesn't understand that the blue collar jobs are important too.

Does anyone know of a metric that can indicate how prone code is to bugs... Like a metric to quantify that refactoring actually creates a lower chance on bugs and higher maintainability?

Thanks to Bruno Costa comment, I experienced a moment of epiphany.
Note that we want to have different numbers. So, imagine that we can always sort them in ascending order. Then:
1st number = some random value
2nd number = 1st number + some random value
3nd number = 2st number + some random v...
> My approach on the other hand will first generate 100 values and then take a subset from it which you can criticize on its memory impact.
> It also depends on your specific situation: if you have a very large pool of values (1.000.000) and you need 2 random values then your approach will be much better. But when you need 999.999 values from that same pool, my approach will be much better.
I have the below function that works and cycles through 3 possible levels. Is there a way to do the same as the function below but not have to do the multiple foreach statements?
And not have to specify the number of levels as it is dynamic.
Basically the reponses list can contain multiple Group...
@rolfl I don't know what his range is, it wasn't specified. It could be from 0..10 or int.min..int.max. Which is why I specified in what situations his solution would be better
@Malachi yeah, but note that that will return the text representation being System.ServiceModel.NetTcpBinding. It will give you a false positive if you have another type with the same namespace hierarchy in a different assembly
but that's a very unlikely usecase
the switch would be switch(typeof(NetTcpBinding).ToString()) case "System.ServiceModel.NetTcpBinding":
I want to group elements in a list of commits (class LegacyCommit) such that all commits to the same user belong in its own map.

@Pimgd That's 32 million ints (4 bytes), plus 32 million GUIDs, at 16 bytes each, so that's 20 bytes per value, times 32 million, which is more than half a gig.
@TopinFrassi check out the WcfBindingProvider.Provide portion of this question codereview.stackexchange.com/q/13317/18427 I have switched gears and am working on another unanswered question at the moment
@rolfl You're right, the memory overhead would be huge. But the execution overhead of the other scenario is also pretty potentially: just now it took me 52 seconds to find that one random value between 0 and int.max
But I agree that for large numbers, my solution isn't good enough
There is something wrong with this Method that makes it a bit confusing.

A computer doesn't know what random is, I can't tell much (I'd love if someone explained it though) but it's all about the seed which is used from DateTime.Now.Milliseconds or something like that
So, I made a value comparison "programming language" similar to a previous one I made, except this one is based soley on value comparisons.

@Yuushi Yes, and also lava lamps (true story). But the randomness does not come from anything computable or algorithmic, but from some physical, chaos affected phenomenon outside the computer.
I'm investigating go for use in our internal network / office project managment system, and need a way to check and edit the color tags that you can set in Finder on files or folders (Extended attributes, xattrs). This is my first ever go code, is this a reasonable way to go about it, and is the...
@SimonAndréForsberg Yes, but the laws of physics include chaos theory. Even if the initial circumstances are reproduced with extreme precision, the results are still not guaranteed to be the same for each roll.
Sorry for my English.

Of course, I am just surprised that you suggested a mechanical solution to a random problem..... and then suggested that any imperfections would be 'good enough' anyway,
@rolfl It's going to depend on how the roll is executed. Throwing two dice across a craps table is going to introduce enough chaos that even a perfect robot would be hard pressed to create measurable bias.
