Q: Speed performance of picking unique value from binary matrix file

KhaledI wrote this code to read a square matrix saved as binary file, that it can be int, uint, float etc... to pick a value from the matrix at given row y and given column x. Could this code be faster to pick this value, better than 20 seconds. The maximum row nd column number in matrix are 3601 for e...

Q: Javascript map/filter/reduce over facebook messenger data

greg bI have some messenger group data parsed from JSON. I'm trying to get some statistics from it. Am I missing something obvious about the map/filter/reduce powers by doing a big for loop of filters? Would this pass code review for an internal analytics tool? people.forEach(function (person) { ...

@EthanBierlein Nice. I've heard of that one. Latin and classics isn't likely to get you a good job, so having CS will at least pay the bills so you can do Latin/classics in your spare time :)
I'd love to end up being a small town shop keeper in something like footwear or hardware supplies, but I don't think I could ever leave programming permanently because I like it so much.
Maybe sometime we can meet somewhere again :)
 
I tossed around the idea of pursuing post-graduate studies in Latin/Ancient Greek for a little while; I'd then either (a) teach Latin at the high-school level or (b) try to pursue a doctorate and do teaching/research. The first option is tenable (and I know that teaching is something I'd enjoy), but the second, not particularly; last I checked, the average rate of admission for doctoral programs in the classics was well under 10%.
At this point I'm definitely more interested in establishing stability post-graduation; I figure that if I do end up having a desire to go back to school and pursue post-graduate education, I can do it in a more financially tenable place.
For what it's worth, too, I've been working on ways to combine linguistics, classical langauges, and computer science into something neat with computational linguistics (my school offers students the option to create unique interdisciplinary majors).
I'm not sure when I'm going to be back in town again, but I'd definitely be down to meet up! :)
 
That sounds cool. Who knows; with that combo, you might end up doing research on computer translation.
Study a bit of machine learning while you are at it, and you just might end up working for Google or something.

What I want to accomplish with Latin is something similar to translation, albeit perhaps less complex in nature. I have this grand vision of a tool that would allow a user to search through corpora of Latin texts, not just by words or phrases (pretty much every existing corpus search tool these), but also by grammatical constructions, phrases with specific word orders, etc.; it'd be able to perform statistical analyses as well.
For example, "how often do ablative absolute constructions occur in [some text] as opposed to constructions employing temporal cum," "find subordinate clauses in the perfect tense employing an SOV word order," etc.
 
So, it would basically parse the text and figure out what was a noun, what was an object, what was a verb, etc?
If we had that, we could get an almost perfect translation tool, though.
It would work both ways :)
 
To that degree and beyond, essentially. Not just tokenization, lemmatization, etc., but also full-blown syntactical analysis beyond individual words and phrases.
 
If you ever solve that, you could get millions for it easily.
It'd be a LOT of work, though, and a deep understanding of languages, computers, and at least some system of AI.
And probably math to know the AI system.
 
Perhaps. Although given the rate at which natural language processing is advancing, I wouldn't be surprised if someone has already beaten me to the punch. I definitely understand the amount of work this would require; but that said, I've got four whole years (and a fairly significant head start), so who knows?
 
2:57 AM
Yep. Don't quit on it. Someone's going to do it sooner or later.
 
Not a chance; there's no way I'd pass on the opportunity to combine my three favorite areas of interest into one. :)
> If we had that, we could get an almost perfect translation tool, though.
Also, just a random side thought, having read this and having finally put some of my ideas to words: with such an analysis tool, one would essentially have a framework for true machine translation (albeit, one-way in nature, but highly useful nonetheless).
I think one of the last hurdles at that point would be how to deal with pragmatics.

Is it ok to ask a game engine parser code here?
It's proprietary
Also there are little to no comments
Since I was writing it for myself originally However I think of adding some explanation of how I've dealt with streams and data readers for example
 
yes, that's a way, but curly in brace inside a lambda? that's creating its own lexical scope. In our code review, we discourage using lambda where a curly brace needs to be used. — Moshiour 10 secs ago

@MohamedTaher We need to know what tools you're using, and modifications which have been made to it, to help you out. I'm guessing when you did the cherry pick you kept the same Change-Id in the commit message. That can confuse earlier versions of Gerrit.
