And if you have code that works but that you have been asked to improve, you should consider asking over at Code Review (after reviewing their rules, of course). — chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic- 32 secs ago

Q: how do i pick the result for my output with probabilistic manner?

evai have this program about mapping fire propagation, and it has the probability of burning with coding and the result of course would be different everytime. so how do i pick the output for my report? pb= p0*(1+pveg)*pw if pb>1: pb=1 d= np.random.choice([1,2],1,p=[1-pb,pb])

For me it feels that you don't (only) have a technical issue. It may be worth to go to your boss, ask for better team education, create better code guidelines, take part of beneficial code reviews, don't follow academic rules ( multiple inheritance is eval idiom ) and invest in software capital! "Improving" bad ideas will not help I believe. — Klaus 11 secs ago

Q: Snake in Javascript

Q: FIFO for embedded systems

MrBitI wrote a simple FIFO based on pieces of code I found online. It's intended for embedded systems with very restricted RAM. It's supposed to be very simple and efficient. The size is always power of 2 (8, 16, 32, 64, 128 etc). fifo.h #ifndef FIFO_H #define FIFO_H struct fifo {...

@Zeta Been a while, but sure, a moment.
What's your concern?
Both question and answer look perfectly valid on first glance @Zeta
There are more code smells than you've listed in your answer I suspect, but answers don't have to be exhaustive.
Writing a smart, quick, safe FIFO in C is not something I'd like to do as a hobby project. It's one of those things you write once, review once and never touch again. Don't touch what ain't broken.
The code provided by OP is not at that level yet, but your answer points in the right direction.

@Peilonrayz It's asking for explanations, the answer is not an answer and by the comments I'm not sure this is the actual code.
But honestly, it's answered. Who cares if it's crap except us.
 
@Mast I don't understand what it is you dislike.
 
3:32 PM
That's ok.
 
I do agree that it is a crap question tho. I used to hate programming challenges, but after only seeing NumPy questions this week I'd gladly welcome PCs back
 
lol
I was working on a GUI for programming challenges earlier today, but it's still beyond crap.
I hate GUIs...
 
A GUI for them, what does that entail?
What are you GUIing with? TK or something?
 
Roughly? A JSON file, the actual functions and a viewer.
challengeList = {
    "DNA" : {
        "Title"       :   "Counting DNA Nucleotides",
        "SubTitle"    :   "A Rapid Introduction to Molecular Biology",
        "SampleData"  :   "AGCTTTTCATTCTGACTGCAACGGGCAATATGTCTCTGTGTGGATTAAAAAAAGAGTGTCTGATAGCAGC",
        "SampleOutput":   "20 12 17 21"
    },
    "RNA" : {
        "Title"       :   "Transcribing DNA into RNA",
        "SubTitle"    :   "The Second Nucleic Acid",
        "SampleData"  :   "GATGGAACTTGACTACGTAAATT",
        "SampleOutput":   "GAUGGAACUUGACUACGUAAAUU"
def DNA(input):
    sequence = input.upper()
    count = Counter(sequence)
    if set(count) - set('ACGT'):
        raise KeyError("Invalid DNA nucleobase encountered. Aborting.")
    return "{0[A]} {0[C]} {0[G]} {0[T]}".format(count)
Something along those lines.
 
Interesting, I feel like I've seen those questions before ;)
 
3:43 PM
Been working on them before.
Not in Python though.
But I sure as hell am not going to do a GUI in something even more convoluted.
Not for V1.

Q: Is this way of handling events in a Xamarin project memory safe?

And have been working on this GUI for a while too, but considering how awful I am at GUI and how perfectionist I am with such projects, it's going to be a miracle if it's finished before 2025.
Basically, I dynamically load a function.
 
I hate GUIs except if they're abstracted af. Kinda why I like HTML and CSS. It just seems like most frameworks are more of a pain to work with then anything
@Mast lol
 
@Peilonrayz Yup.
I mean, I get that you got to provide a lay-out some way. But why the heck does it have to look this complicated.
I tried XAML with C# once. Didn't like it, but it did have some good ideas. And me not liking it probably had more to do with C#.
 
XAML sounds cool. Like surely it wouldn't be that hard to allow a framework be configured through XML...

@Royi - Yes, I coded up a multi-threaded version of bottom up merge sort. Example code and the results can be found in this question . — rcgldr 18 secs ago
@Royi - The array could be split up into k parts, the k parts sorted via radix sort in parallel (multi-threaded), then merged. The bottle neck in radix sort is random access writes. I also tried doing most significant byte first, to create 256 sub-arrays, each of which would fit in L3 cache, but it was only a 5 % gain. I don't recall comparing times using multi-threading with radix sort. I did compare time for a multi-threaded merge sort. — rcgldr 30 secs ago

hmm ... I notice I'm writing in a very noun-heavy style for my thesis...
 
"The code I have seems to be working. There are no errors. " The question is off-topic on this site you might try Code Review. — Rubén just now
 
@Vogel612 What do you mean by that, like you're using a lot of jargon nouns?
 
that too, but I'm referring to constructions like:
 
@Vogel612 Just cut them out during the rewrite.
 
8:34 PM
> For the purpose of that identification the recursive typevalidation algorithm maintains a string during traversal of the object tree.
 
@Vogel612 I'm assuming the original is in German? Because that's gibberish in English.
 
there's one verb and one adjective in that sentence in German
yea, it's ... translated pretty closely
 
Just write it out how it feels now and see what's left of it during the rewrite when you're done.
 
yea, about that.... I'm pretty sure I won't get to rewrite most of that...
 
What, you'll be turning in your first revision?
 
8:36 PM
final handin is on wednesday, my advisor asked me for (by now only 6) pages of additional content by tomorrow night
 
@Vogel612 That makes little sense to me cause I don't know the nouns. But if you define them or explain them upon first encountering them it should allow you to be much more succinct right?
 
Oh

yea, it's just... that style of writing is pretty popular with the German equivalent of the daily mail
 
After all, a complete yet awkwardly written piece is worth more than an incomplete one.
@Vogel612 Unfortunate.
 
yea, that's a pretty fitting word
 
Not something you'd want your thesis to be associated with.
 
I throw around way too much jargon for that association :D
 
May not be as bad as you think then.
 
8:39 PM
it's not that the style is bad in itself, it's more that I'd prefer to find less ... boring ways of phrasing things
 
It's a thesis. In German.
There will be a certain level of boring.
