I answered a question on SO yesterday and OP posted today saying "this is solved now" with a link to anotherq uestion

I look at the other question and its the same question as his, but with a bounty. And he posted it.

I ask him why he posted the same question twice and he said "I tried a different approach". so I look at both question's code and compare them side by side.

The code is identical.

This guy literally posted the same question twice within 4 days and put a bounty on the first one. Wat.

Mast

@SimonAndréForsberg Do you consider it code?

Simon André Forsberg

@Mast Apparently we've considered it code previously: codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/.htaccess

Mast

@SimonAndréForsberg If there's actual code in the file, I'd consider it as such. If there's just some plain text in it, perhaps not.

But this seems a regex problem.

Election closes in 10 hours.

Simon André Forsberg

@Mast Considering the power of Domain Specific Languages, where goes the line between code and plain text?

Mast

@SimonAndréForsberg The moment it starts looking like some dictionary .INF it would no longer be code IMHO.

Simon André Forsberg

10:00

@Mast is this code or not? github.com/Cardshifter/Cardshifter/blob/master/extra-resources/…

Mast

@SimonAndréForsberg I'd say no

It's a dictionary, a list, a collection. Not code.

Simon André Forsberg

It is code.

It's part of our Domain Specific Language (DSL) for Cardshifter

Mast

I know, looks a bit like JSON.

But what would you possibly optimize about it?

It's a configuration.

It's telling whatever is reading it what the data is.

How the data should be interpreted.

Simon André Forsberg

what that code actually does is something like this:

delegate.card('Conscript', new Closure() {
    @Override
    public void call(SomeDelegate delegate) {
        delegate.creature("Bio");
        delegate.health(2);
        ...
    }
}

Mast

It's a wrapper?

Simon André Forsberg

10:06

Groovy does a lot of magic behind-the-screens.

It is a configuration, yes. For cards to include in a Cardshifter mod.

Would I post it for review? Probably not. But it is code.

And it does work

Is code included directly in my question? Yes
Am I an owner or maintainer of the code? Yes
Is it actual code from a project rather than pseudo-code or example code? Yes
Do I want the code to be good code? Yes
To the best of my knowledge, does the code work as intended? Yes
Do I want feedback about any or all facets of the code? Yes

So technically, according to our on-topic questions, I could post it for review.

Please note that I'm only bringing this up to make our on-topic/off-topic stuff clearer. I don't really think there's a problem with DSLs on Code Review at the moment really.

Mast

Valid point.

skiwi

@SimonAndréForsberg Are there also bigger files around? I'm tempted to feed that into this RNN (LTSM)

Simon André Forsberg

I just like to find good questions to ask, and right now I find the question of "Why would I not post this for review?" a good question.

@skiwi Look through the github.com/Cardshifter/Cardshifter/tree/master/extra-resources/… directory. That's what we have.

Mast

Do I want feedback about any or all facets of the code? Yes What feedback would you want on a configuration?

skiwi

@SimonAndréForsberg Ok, thanks, won't be a while before I get to run it though

Mast

10:12

Naming? How to keep it readable?

Simon André Forsberg

@Mast Any feedback you are willing to give. What feedback I would expect though? That's a more difficult question. I don't really know what to expect from a DSL question.

@skiwi No worries. I'm sure you have better things to do than to run a RNN all day.

skiwi

@SimonAndréForsberg I don't need to watch it while it runs :)

Though I have a feeling that this particular network (size, layers) is not strong enough to generate new HS cards

Mast

@skiwi Moar input. When in doubt, machine learning needs moar input.

Simon André Forsberg

@skiwi Is there any way that you can tell the network "This was a good card" and "This was a bad card"? So that you in a way can give it some feedback in the process?

skiwi

@Mast But there aren't any more cards

@SimonAndréForsberg Not as far as I know

I'm still unsure of how this network exactly works, maybe I should figure it out

2

Mast

10:17

Or that, indeed.

Simon André Forsberg

would be nice if you could. Could be used as an additional input source.

Refining would probably help your RNN a lot, since most of your cards seem close enough.

To do this, the only data type I thought was relevant was BigInteger. The problem I had with this was that ...

java performance recursion

Mast

'Teaching' the system not to generate the worst ones should help a lot.

skiwi

I could always add good examples to the data set, but that means I need to regenerate it

Mast

10:20

Would be better than nothing I guess.

skiwi

But one thing I do notice is that it's lacking creativity right now on 99% of the cards, I think that directly relates to the amount of neutrons

/s/neutrons/neurons/

Mast

Neutrons are definitely involved.

skiwi

Neutronstar?

Mast

I think you didn't allow it to deviate from the set. You made a system which perfectly recognizes it's original input, but that's not what you want.

You want it to use it's input to learn what input is valid and shuffle something up with that.

skiwi

What I think it's trying to do, is generate a first random letter, then tries to classify it in [Classic, Basic, Goblins vs Gnomes, Curse of Naxxramas]

However, I'm not even sure if you can reason about it in "lines of text"

It also learns the concept of a line of text

I might be doing this completely the wrong way around though

Ismael Miguel

10:26

You should feed it with a list of valid words/sentences

skiwi

Curse of Naxxramas | Minion | Rare | Neutral | None | Searobon | 7 | 7 | 5 | Whenever you play a card, summon a 2/1 Flame of Azzinoth.

It seems to generate a set, then it picks minion/spell/etc, picks rarity, picks class, picks class, picks a name, picks cost, attack, health and as last picks the card text

So for the card text there are not a lot of possibilities left

Ismael Miguel

You want it to learn the structure of a valid text too?

Mast

You made it learn the difference between a name and a description on it's own. Given the limited input data, that's already very good.

2

Now it needs to learn how sentences within the description work, without messing with the rest.

In a 'normal' program, you'd see that part as a sub-string and give it it's own generator.

skiwi

@IsmaelMiguel It will need to learn everything

@Mast It also understands that Minions have three stats (example: 7 | 7 | 5) and Spells only have one (example: 3)

Ismael Miguel

@skiwi Then you need to tell it what the heck each word means

You feed it a universe of words and what they are.

If it is a name, an action, something

Mast

10:34

@skiwi Nice, that's tricky.

skiwi

@IsmaelMiguel I don't need to tell it anything, I just give it enough input data so that it can figure it out, and then I give it enough braincells, and it will do stuff

Ismael Miguel

@skiwi But you aren't feeding a universe of data to process. You are spitting a bunch of giberish and expect it to know everything

skiwi

I'm starting to dislike the Java streams API

Mast

@IsmaelMiguel Doesn't exist on CR yet.

Dan Pantry

If it wasn't for type erasure I would use Java a lot more

skiwi

In Groovy that is, in plain Java you don't have an option

Mast

11:44

There are a couple of languages still missing, I've been trying to learn one of them but it's hard...

Ismael Miguel

@Mast Because I haven't finished implementing it

Type erasure makes Mocking in TDD a lot harder

or at least it makes the api look ugly as all hell

TypeErasure is generally a pain

Thats the only thing I don't like about the language, though

Vogel612

especially with non-reifiable generics, which is one of my biggest points against java

It's nice, as far as compiled languages go

Mast

@DanPantry That's why I usually stick to C++.

Ismael Miguel

@Mast If you want to learn about Corky, you can check my github

@Mast I prefer type erasure to C++'s templates

But maybe thats because I don't understand them

You need templates if you ever implement a type that consumes another type of A

c++

Mast

@DanPantry I usually define a new type for that, usually necessary if you want to create weird dictionaries.

skiwi

@SimonAndréForsberg Yeah, but Streams look complicated, it takes time to understand them, and in Groovy there's other means

Dan Pantry

11:47

@mast but then you could do the same thing in Java :P

Vogel612

the streams API is severly limited, because of the problems it has with capturing and pipelining as well as sideeffect behaviour

skiwi

Streams are simpler than writing everything down in Java though

Dan Pantry

If you want to use streams imo you should use a more.. functional language than Java

thats not to say you shouldnt use Java but Java is trying to squeeze streams in really, really badly

Vogel612

also because it's messy wrt. the abuse of lambdas and Function types

Mast

My FizzBuzzWoofFooBar uses some weird type like that, to keep things compact and iterate over a list of strings which are bound to a number.

Vogel612

11:48

@DanPantry meh. I think it did well enough

Simon André Forsberg

@skiwi there is but I believe that the Stream API is generally faster than Groovy's other ways.

Vogel612

@SimonAndréForsberg meh. I think that's because of the typing behaviour and not because of the approach.

Mast

@DanPantry Python.

Simon André Forsberg

@DanPantry that is probably a good suggestion. Perhaps @skiwi should learn Scala? (I bet @Donald.McLean would love that)

Dan Pantry

@Mast Or JavaScript. Or any language that has first-class functions, actually

Mast

11:50

You know how I think about JS.

skiwi

@SimonAndréForsberg Does Groovy work with Scala?

Dan Pantry

First-class functions make transforming data through streams so much nicer

Mast

There's no such thing as functionality in JS.

Dan Pantry

@skiwi Groovy and Scala both run on the JVM so I would assume so

@skiwi Scala is just another language that is built on JVM, so I think it should be possible to use Java, Scala and Groovy together.

Dan Pantry

@Mast function ality() {}

Vogel612

actually... the project I'm working on does that...

Mast

@DanPantry facepalm

Vogel612

we got mainly java, but some groovy scripts and scala API

skiwi

@SimonAndréForsberg Now add Clojure to the list, and then create a project where you can argue that they all serve a purpose

@skiwi ain't gonna happen.

Mast

GitHub doesn't have a search which allows you to select repositories with at least n number of programming languages, right?

Dan Pantry

@Mast I think you mean GitHub right?

nhgrif

Do you mean N number of programming languages?

Mast

Yes to both.

nhgrif

No, I can't imagine GitHub has that. It can't even correctly determine which languages are being used all the time.

@Mast I think some external sites do, that keep track of GitHub repos

Mast

@nhgrif Usually their index does that quite well.

Simon André Forsberg

@nhgrif 'I' or 'It'?

Dan Pantry

@Mast I looked at their advanced search, I don't think you can search for N many languages. :( You can search for repos that contain a given extension though.

nhgrif

@Mast Tons of Objective-C libraries are marked as C.

Dan Pantry

You have to bear in mind though it's super easy to use three languages in a single repo

Shell, JavaScript and SQL are used in my current project

nhgrif

Like this Objective-C library, marked as C.

Dan Pantry

@nhgrif presumably because of the header files

Looks like if your header files don't have anything that is explicitly obj-c in them its flagged as c

nhgrif

Some of my header files do though.

That's the thing.

Mast

@DanPantry 3 is easy. I managed 4 once (VHDL/TCL/Python/Shell). I'm just wondering how hard it would be to kill the SE tagging system by having 5+ languages.

nhgrif

I could see my repository being marked as Objective-C & C.

But it's marked as strictly C.

And there are no .c files in the repository.

But there are .m files, which is only Objective-C.

Dan Pantry

We looking at the same repo? prntscr.com/7sjcsu

nhgrif

Where do you get that screen?

Dan Pantry

I think the graph goes off of different statistics than the file breakdown

I just took it..?

on the homepage of your repo

nhgrif

How do you get there?

I've never seen the graph

Dan Pantry

click one of the languages in the breakdown
