Q: Create a custom discrete distribution that updates every 1000 iterations

Ryan I am working on a biological game theory summer project. I want to define a discrete probability distribution that updates every 1000 iterations of the game. I think I am using the discrete_distribution function improperly. I found some examples online, but some are difficult for me to comprehend...

 
Explaining code, even a person's own code, is off topic here, correct?
 
@Hosch250 Yeah
 
OK.
That always confuses me because we don't have a close reason for that.
 
12:37 AM
@Hosch250 it's just that the close reason assumes OP understands their own code; it says explaining someone else's code - it's OP's job to tell us what their code is doing.
 
OK.
So, I'm working on the C# wiki.
It has a reference to the C# 4.0 language spec from MS, but the link was changed to 5.0.
The 3.0 download link still works, but I can't find the 4.0 spec anywhere.
I have the 3.0 and 5.0 links in there, but it looks a little funny without a 4.0 link.
And ideas? Should I say link is missing? Should I take 3.0 out? Just leave it?
 
Think of it like windows, XP -> Vista -> 7, and just skip Vista
 
OK.
Doesn't really help, that would look funny too.
 
Uneventful versions are common
And yeah, it's windows after all
 
4.0 brought the dynamic keyword.
 
Hmm.
There is also a link to the running link for the latest version below.

Q: Creating grouped chart and copying to MS Word

1:12 AM
OK, community, here's another question.
The wiki for is, well, rather unprofessional.
Certain parts (like the part about every challenge being a game) are just wrong now.
Do you guys want this cleaned up - almost to a full re-write, or should I leave it pretty much as-is?
Most (or all) of the content would stay, it would just be a bit more polished and professional, like the other tags.

1:32 AM
@Hosch250 right. whatever.
 
@Mat'sMug So, I take it you don't want me to touch it?
I haven't yet.
 
it's outdated indeed
 
In fact, I got Research Assistant, and I've gone through most of the language tags now and cleaned them up pretty good, so I don't need to.
You have to have a certain number of characters changed, it appears, to count, so a lot of them didn't count.
I most certainly will, though, if you wish.
 
Sorry, I'm kinda depressed atm. Been re-reading today's transcript, and ...today has been a sad, sad day for the CR community. Very sad.

Yes, but it was needed.

I hope good things will come out of the ashes of whatever burned today

Me too.
 
I don't even quite know anymore what burned today. This whole thing has seemed to get so warped.
 
The chat seems too quit now, but yesterday, there was a message every few seconds.
 
I think people might be afraid to post in here.
 
Or mad and boycotting it.
 
1:38 AM
I think rolfl's take with his answer is perfectly fine.
From what I understood, the intent is not to destroy all conversation unless it directly pertains to the site, but rather keep off topic chatter, like me and Q's conversation about arms, out of here. It's not outlawing talking, just reigning it back in to an extent.
Right?
I think I am going to agree with @Mat'sMug. All this has made me a little sad as well.
 
This comment doesn't appear to be needed anymore, but I'm not sure:
What do you guys think?

This place is the freakin heart and soul of CR. Seeing it rot and become a twitter feed and seeing regulars walk away, flags rain and kicks and bans and people calling others trolls when a legit discussion is trying to go on...
 
I wish I had been able to say it that clearly earlier

@rolfl Whoops, looking at that I think I worded the first part of the sentence wrong.
@rolfl Well, if it's pinnable, feel free to pin it if you want.
 
1:47 AM
So, for those of you wondering, I have been struggling to find where it all went wrong, and I honestly don't know. The stress of elections is part of it. The sheer number of people trying to express their opinions at the same time is another part of it.
 
Hmm. Maybe I'm going to do a little looking through the transcript and see what I can find.
 
All I want is this room to remain useful, and, to be honest, the fun factor of listening to banalities was grating on me, and probably others too.... then, being challenged on my motives was... hard.
So, to try to communicate my thoughts, without an interruption, I froze the room, expressed them, and unfroze it.
That pissed off a bunch of people, because they thought it was targetted at them, and, in a sense, it was.
So, welcome to the joys of bveing a mod... damned if you do, damned if you don't. If nothing happened, this place would continue getting worse. Now it is just me that's the ogre, some folk have been upset, and hopefully the place will recover... but man, what a storm in a teacup. All I was doing was trying to ask for some reduced volume in here.
2
then it had to be a discussion of what volume-setting do you want, 3.2, 4.5, or 5.3?
what's wrong with 4.7?
or, no, can we have 3.9?
how do you define 5.0?
are you sure it was 8.6?
 
@rolfl I'm glad - I used learn a lot from the discussions here, but there wasn't good learning material here lately.
 
@rolfl You can't really define volume levels of chat. (I'm sure this is what you're getting to.) Everyone has their own definition.
 
Yes, and it just had to be "about half of what it was before".
So, everyone has had a shake-up, it seems, let's see where the cookie crumbles, and go from there.
 
1:54 AM
@rolfl This is why I don't want to be a mod.
 
I am off to blow up some fire-works, Canada Day, eh!

@ThisSuitIsBlackNot: I think I have addressed your comments with my edit. Thanks. — drewk Oct 16 '13 at 3:45
I wouldn't consider putting AFile after File a “more natural” order, regardless of the numeric suffix. — ThisSuitIsBlackNot Oct 15 '13 at 23:52
Also, you need to change $a->[2] and $b->[2] to $a->[0] and $b->[0], respectively (turn on warnings and you'll see why). Finally, this solution ignores the requirement that "the algorithm may only rely on comparing characters; to avoid overflow problems with very long numbers it must not convert substrings of digits into their numerical values." — ThisSuitIsBlackNot Oct 16 '13 at 0:06

43 flags/day now!
@Quill Absolutely right.
 
Thanks santa.
 
@rolfl Okay, I think the whole thing started here, where you mentioned "get a room". I then created The Nth Monitor, and some messages were moved. There wasn't much talk about this for a couple of hours. Then skiwi asked about The Nth Monitor. Everything sort of fell apart after that.
 
Is somebody serial upvoting me?
I'm getting votes on some pretty old questions.
 
@rolfl I agree with everything you said and did today. If that makes you an ogre, then it's an ogre we needed, and I'm glad someone took the ogre hat and did what needed to be done at last.

I had a quick read of this the other day when @Quill shared it. I apologize if I missed something there cuz it's a fairly long read. however, I wanted to clarify something now that we are talking about it.
As I mentioned, I have been working on an electrical project rather than usual C# and not much to offer as questions or reviews to this community but I still hang around. And there is only one reason, over the day, reading conversation here and there I have accumulated so much valuable knowledge just by bumping on stuff which our members talk about. Generally I want to see where do I sit

As long as the essential stuff is in there and the code is actual code, it's acceptable.

@RubberDuck What do you see that the difference is? (Not wanting to initiate ranting, just trying to understand what's happened)

Q: Implementation of WENO and ENO on Python

ilciavoThis question was been redirected, since it was addressed as a debugging question. I've found a Matlab implementations of WENO and ENO schemes by Jan S Hesthaven. I've translated them into Python and they produce the same results. Additionally, I found a WENO smoother, but this doesn't compute...

 
@Yann basically there was loads and loads of noise in here
 
@Vogel612 It might take another day, but we'll be fine.

and many regulars went to other chatrooms for being considerate

The amount of noise got accelerated by a couple of new users. Some regulars (including me) got taken in with the flow.
 
Idk.... a lot of damage was done that can't easily be undone.
 
People make mistakes.
Welcome to the human race.
But really, if we all keep the bigger picture in mind, we'll be fine.
 
I thought the chat was a place for the noise to go, so it didn't build up on the main site and meta. I'd always thought that the topic was a rough guideline. I'm perfectly prepared to be wrong though.
 
I'm fine with killing the noise a bit, what I'm honestly still irked about was killing the on topic meta conversation yesterday.
 
@RubberDuck Yea, most agreed on that.
But something had to be done.

@Mast agreed with that bit at least.
 
It wasn't perfect, but nobody knew the perfect solution.
