@JeffreyLin Can I take you up on that offer once I get around to setting up a wallet or whatever?

Q: Borderlands 2 Big Brother

Evil_YoshiiiI've been following this site for some time and love the threads; yet I've never seen one primarily for matchmaking. I'm a lvl 48 Zero and would like to find someone who can either zap Terra for me or something of the like so I can level quickly. It's so hard to experience farm with an Assassin. ...

 
@GnomeSlice Take a guess
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Muppet Treasure Island
 
2:25 AM
@GnomeSlice Pffffft.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz DEAD TOM'S DEAD
 
@GnomeSlice The Great Muppet Caper or Muppets Take Manhattan.
 
Is that the one with Joan Rivers in it?
oh
I don't think I've seen The Great Muppet Caper. I haven't seen all the muppet movies.
I was actually gonna guess Muppets Take Manhattan though.
 
@GnomeSlice Joan Rivers was in Take Manhattan yeah.
You need to see Great Muppet Caper.
It's probably the best.
Take Manhattan has sentimental value for me, but tbqh, it's wildly inconsistent, and the Muppet Babies sequence is probably the worst 5 minutes of muppet footage ever committed to film.
Great Muppet Caper has JOHN CLEESE

user15026
Okay, so it doesn't make sense.
 
@AshleyNunn Exactly.
The only reasonable use cases for bit coin amount to:
1) Moronic speculation
2) Illegal activity; i.e. drugs, hookers, etc.
 
3:44 AM
Apr 3 at 20:53, by OrigamiRobot
@StrixVaria Pretend you made up a thing and said that thing was worth money. That is bitcoins
 
3) Illegal activity; i.e. money laundering for people living under command economies - bitcoin is extremely hot in china right now as a way for people to access foreign markets and circumvent various other property restrictions placed by the government. This is basically the only 'legit' use for Bitcoin, (and, relatedly, investors who seek to hold bit coin as a hedge against china), but it's still dependent on a really bad idea insofar as there is no intrinsic value or government fiat backing it
which means it could crash anytime for any reason or no reason at all.

boo
9:47 AM
@Arperum Is that (literally worse than hitler)² or literally worse than (hitler)²?
There is a difference between (1 + ε)² and 1 + (ε)²
 
@boo Your first option would result in somthing like "literally worse² + 2*literally worse then Hitler + Hitler²" That looks right too me.
 
boo
@Arperum But (1 + ε)² ≈ (1 + ε), so (literally worse than hitler)² ≈ literally worse than hitler (for small values of worse)
 
@boo You are turning your logic around, before Hitler was the ε-part, now worse is the ε-part. That's cheating.
 
boo
@Arperum Hitler is the unit here, + ε refers to 'literally worse than'
Hitler + ε
 
10:06 AM
Also you're making the unfounded assumption that worse than is very small. I'd estimate it to be at least one literal Hitler or 1/3 normal Hitler.

1) write some complete math for your system
2) change your system

oKtosiTeA few days ago I've purchased TrackMania² Stadium on Steam. I'm really enjoying it, even though I'm not that good. After also trying the (free) TrackMania Nations Forever, I've been wondering what the differences are between these two games. The only differences I've found so far: Improved gra...

 
@KevinvanderVelden See, pointer confusion all over the place.
 
But basically your problem is you are saying in `void slope(double[],double[],double[],double[],double[],int,double);
` "Hey, here is a slope that takes 5 arrays of doubles, use this" and then the compiler tries to use it and says "Hey! We only have a slope with 2 arrays and some references!
 
:( but i STUGGLED to make this stackoverflow.com/questions/20214669/…
 
Well, talking only about the slope function (write has the same problems though):
You're being inconsistent with your function declaration which is causing the undefined reference errors (they have to have the same declaration)
 
^^^^^^ no understando
 
11:03 AM
You're saying give me an array of doubles and then giving a pointer to a single double, which will work fine if you use only the first element, but can go horribly wrong if you don't.
@Meraj99 Oke, quick question first, how much do you know about programming in other languages? Then I'll know how technical (and thus how short) I can make the explanation ^^
 
um, well, er, uh
near 0? xD
 
Aah, ok :) - Sidenote: Start with a different language than C++. It is an awesome language but really difficult to understand.
 
any tips? :D
 
Python is pretty neat, java is used in a lot of colleges. IMO stay away from PHP, it has it's uses but it's a really inconsistent and weird language.
 
who said "java is easy"
 
11:08 AM
Not me, it's easier than C++ definitely, but anything other than assembly and intentionally obtuse languages are =p
 
um, lemme reword the last thing i said: who said "minecraft programming is easy"
 
@Meraj99 no idea. With some mods (computercraft notably) it's probably a good way to teach basic programming concepts.
 
@Meraj99 That's like having never even seen a car, and then being throw after the wheel in a racing competition
 
Though that uses Lua and not Java
 
I learned programming in Java. I know of at least one school that teaching basic programming in C++ though.
 
11:11 AM
er, i learnt basics in um... quick basic? xD
 
I do suggest Java for learning.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz You found one of my baby pictures! (re: tortoise + child)
also this pic from that account was fantastic:
 
@Arperum self thaught in visual basic, but PHP was the first language I considered myself proficient in.
 
@Meraj99 bluej.org this is useful for starting out.
 
Java in school which was easy cause I already knew how to program =p
 
11:12 AM
returns to work
 
Also for python if you like learning from videos I've heard this is good: khanacademy.org/science/computer-science-subject/…
 
@KevinvanderVelden same thing: i already knew (the basics of) c++.....
and my friends were struggling to understand what cout does :D
 
@Meraj99 If you mean "programming Minecraft mods" ... it's not trivial, and you'll likely be more lucky with something like Game Maker Studio (I think the Standard Edition is still free for a "limited" time), but it's not overly hard either.
 
@Meraj99 Aah good times, only reason I went to class for java was so I could work on the lab tests on my laptop :)
 
is youtube a good place to learn? xD
 
11:15 AM
@Meraj99 dunno, learned before youtube and I much prefer text based learning.
 
@KevinvanderVelden alright, the youtube idea is cancelled O_O
 
@KevinvanderVelden I learned programming in Java at the university, then after I changed to the hogeschool where the starting packet was with c++ I left exams first or second and got perfect scores.
@Meraj99 Learning requires you to code a crapton yourself, watching things does not work.
 
@Meraj99 this is personal preference, if you're a visual learning then youtube might work out perfectly for you. But I can't give a recommendation about youtube specificallly cause none of it works for me =p
 
@Arperum im probably stuck on that part cause i dont have any ideas.... all i do is make calculators at school :3

@Meraj99 google, and bluej.org because that's what I learned with.
@MartinSojka And this is pretty important too yes.
 
im probably just gonna change to python for now...
 
@Meraj99 probably best to understand at least one language really well before switching to C++. It'll add a ton of new concepts and things to watch out for so portioning the learning in to 2 language might help :)
 
11:26 AM
basically, what is bluej?
 
@KevinvanderVelden Something that has no pointers at the very least.
> BlueJ is an integrated Java environment specifically designed for introductory teaching.
 
@Arperum also automatic memory management, let's not forget that xp.
 
From the BlueJ website.
 
@Arperum Meraj99 is requesting translation to English.
 
@KevinvanderVelden That's conveinient too yes.
@Meraj99 Some tool/programming enviroment designed for learning to program object oriented programming in java.
 
11:29 AM
@Arperum .... object oriented programming?
 
@Arperum manual memory management is the best. Also really really the worst
 
brain explosion
brain repaired
 
@Meraj99 Good, since you'll need your brain for any programming at all.
 
Heh, another reason I'm a fan of python for learning, you can use OO programming, you just don't need to
In java you'll always have OO in the way if you don't want to use it and simply want to make something simple
 
@KevinvanderVelden I really should learn python one day.
@KevinvanderVelden Make everything static and throw it in one class, not much difference from functional programming.
 
11:34 AM
@Arperum Oh yes it is, not much difference from procedural programming I'll grant you =p
But functional is quite different.
 
er, indentation is basically whitespace right?
 
And I'm still working on learning python, just know the basic syntax (and C api! also boost Python)
 
@Meraj99 Not in Python, no.
 
@Meraj99 indentation is the whitespace at the start of the sentence.
 
@MartinSojka good job at bursting my bubble >.>
 
11:35 AM
@KevinvanderVelden Blurblrg.
 
@KevinvanderVelden thats basically what i said O_O
 
@MartinSojka yeah, it's just not ignored in python. It's still the whitespace
@Meraj99 slightly more specific. What you said + at the start of the sentence. I'm a programmer for a living. Long live specificity
Also pedantism :)
 
@KevinvanderVelden Explain "What I said + Not at the start of a sentence"
 
@KevinvanderVelden For Python, only some specific whitespace.
 
:12450364
              bla           +                  bla
^ indentation,  ^ whitespace ^
...
DAMNIT MARKUP STOP REMOVING SPACES
 
11:38 AM
@KevinvanderVelden LOLOLOLOL
 
Close enough
All the spaces and tabs and what not is whitespace. It's only indentation if it's the start of a line.
So indentation is a special type of whitespace
 
would you ever have to use 'not-at-beginning' whitespace?
 
@Meraj99 Yes, as a word separation mark in most Latin scripts, for example.
 
@Meraj99 have to no. But it can make the code look neater
 
@MartinSojka This: Forget I asked
@KevinvanderVelden This: Epic
 
11:40 AM
@Meraj99 @MartinSojka is just being annoying. A single space is also whitespace and used to mark different words >.>
 
@KevinvanderVelden ... and derived from it in most programming languages, to mark different tokens.
Though there are languages which will happily allow you to have tokens with whitespace in them, for example Inform7.
 
@MartinSojka Jup, also in brainfuck to make programmers want to kill themselves
 
i think i found a good site (not youtube, on your recommendation) to learn python learnpython.org
 
@MartinSojka SQL as well, if you use special markup to tell it to. The PHP $$variable construct might be able to use it as well, not sure
 
"A Bridge user is a kind of person." <- Valid Inform7 statement defining a new class (named "Bridge user") as a subclass of the (built-in) class "person".
 
11:43 AM
@Meraj99 seems like a good place to learn. Though I'll say it again. I was talking about myself being bad at learning from youtube, not about youtube being bad at teaching =p
@MartinSojka ooh that looks like an interesting thing.
 
great, i accidentally closed the chat tab >.>
IM TERRIBLE XD
2
 
@Meraj99 oh nohs, now you will forever be banished and unable to return... or something
@boo Lo miniature giant space hamster
 
@KevinvanderVelden NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
"Meraj99 is a Birdge user. He's terrible." <- Creating an instance of that class and giving it (dynamically) the property "terrible".
 
boo
@KevinvanderVelden *squeak!*
 
11:47 AM
@boo is this your other account or something kevin? XD
 
boo
@Meraj99 I am @KevinvanderVelden's sock puppet hamster
 
@Meraj99 no way, if I had a sockpuppet it would not have more rep than me
 
boo
@Meraj99 xd
@KevinvanderVelden The sockpuppet has become self-aware
 
@KevinvanderVelden :D
 
@boo well, at least the self aware sockpuppet is a space hamster and not a porkchop
 
11:49 AM
"Python is completely object oriented, and not "statically typed". You do not need to declare variables before using them, or declare their type. Every variable in Python is an object."
^^^^ im in love with python :D
 
boo
@Meraj99 Python is the best
Try Django, fall in love
 
@boo no, first learn the language (and programming in general) then try django =p
 
boo
@KevinvanderVelden Oh yes
 
any trusted, excellent, (you know what i mean) python compilers? :3
 
@Meraj99 best thing about python: interpreted
So just grab the python interpreter and you're done
 
11:57 AM
@KevinvanderVelden python interpreter? xD
 
You aren't going to need anything high performance or crazy like that for a while anyway =p
Also the site you linked has an interpreter on the website to try it in the same page
 
nvm about that
@KevinvanderVelden which one of these do i get O_O
 
@Meraj99 latest version (3.3), for your os (probably windows?), for 32 bit (cause who cares) python.org/ftp/python/3.3.3/python-3.3.3.msi
 
um, no 64 bit? xD
