Gosh, I need another 325pts day to catch up with @SimonAndréForsberg now!

ola in 10 min I must leave office cause I'm not paid after that hour :)
 
@chillworld I think this one is just not appreciated: codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/48943/… ;)
 
@Mat'sMug That's what happens when you pay bounties.
 
@SimonAndréForsberg it's for the greater good: another 6 votes here and the bounty will have generated 100 additional points on the site ;)
 
@chillworld I've been wanting to take a look at that question for a while. Now I have a reason to, thanks!
@Mat'sMug I feel a bit that I have no idea whether the answer is good or not, but perhaps simply that fact in itself is proof that it is a good answer :)

Q: Compare code with documented algorithm - is this correct?

user961627I'm new at stats and python... I had to implement the algorithm that I pasted and clarified here.

@SimonAndréForsberg I don't review , but OP's code does look very readable - as readable as gets..

@SimonAndréForsberg try to add the reflection for finding the classes per package :D
@all see you this evening or tomorrow
 
@chillworld later!

@SimonAndréForsberg What's your next goal for your Hearthstone implementation once you've got it working?
 
3:34 PM
Wow, I just learned that floor(sqrt(sqrt(sqrt(sqrt(sqrt(((4!)!)))))) == 5.
 
Heya. :)

@chillworld reflection for finding classes per package? where should I add that?
 
Yeah, I like that. :p
Or Imon Sandré Brosger
:~))
 
@skiwi First I'd like to support all the cards. Then, I'd like to make a somewhat intelligent AI for it. ()
Hi @kleinfreund
 
Hi @Imon
<-- Ilipp
 
3:41 PM
@SimonAndréForsberg After supporting all cards it becomes playable first I guess? But exactly how, would I be controlling both players?
 
@all If you're interesting in playing a cool new casual game (probably a well done hack'n'slay), you may watch out for May 20th. They release Transistor on this day. (Same guys who did the phenomenal Bastion)
 
@skiwi It is already playable. At the moment, you are controlling both players. I could easily add a simple stupid AI though (I love my AI-Scorers approach code)

Q: HTML5 / Javascript Tic-Tac-Toe

LasoochAs an exercise, I decided to create a simple tic-tac-toe game. It is Ruby on Rails based, but as for now I'm not using the server side for anything (I intend to build up on it in the future, though). As I'm rather new with JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS, I'd like some feedback regarding what did I do...

 
@CaptainObvious upvoted, obviously.

Q: Lambdas in the classical Operation enum example

skiwiAs many of you may know, there is a classical example of the Operation enum (using Java 8 standard interface now though), that is the following: enum Operation implements DoubleBinaryOperator { PLUS("+") { @Override public double applyAsDouble(final double left, final double ...

 
Tried this as well, but only managed to get acceptable results with 1/8 without a tripod.
 
@SimonAndréForsberg Good, now you can do more useful things ^^
 
4:41 PM
There is a total rep limit? :O
:D
 
More than acceptable. The green moss is very striking.
The water clarity is great.
Where is it? Germany?

Two more bad titles bite the dust. :-)
 
No really, I can recommend the northwestern area of Mallorca, especially the small town Sóller for holliday trips.
 
I read that as "Mount Mordor".
 
4:46 PM
@rolfr Once I manage to go through all my photos I made there, I upload a good bunch to Flickr. (~1.000 photos)
The highest mountain on Mallorca is the Puige Major (1.440m), but it has a military base on top and you can't go there.
 
@kleinfreund Can't go to the mountain or to the military base?
 
Both, the military base is the top of the mountain basically. :p
@rolfl https://www.google.de/maps/@39.758878,2.7474755,172m/data=!3m1!1e3

A: Can you burn a CD using a DVD R

Malachithe layering of a DVD is different than that of a CD One of the first differences between CDs and DVDs to note is in the amount of data storage that is possible with each device. The typical DVD will provide in the range of seven times the capacity that is available on a compact disk. DVDs ma...

 
@CaptainObvious This beginner could really use some tips in proper indentation.
 
4:55 PM
@Malachi That's actually good, straigh-forward question.
 
@Jamal I'd review that code if I would be paid for it... Sure it'll give me a nice amount of rep, but I rather spend my efforts somewhere else :p
(Seeing I don't have too much spare time)
 
@kleinfreund whether or not to whore my answer? or the question that I am answering?
the layering is the reason a CD player can't read a DVD with the same exact data
and the depth of the pitting
 
and the pit density
 
Getting rep on SO? Easy. Have a good answer get enough attention to gain some upvotes and wait for the magic to happen. Maybe improve your answer a bit.

That's how on of my answers got 24 upvotes and I think SO works a lot like this.^^
 
If I wouldn't have been rep-capped already, I'd review that new Java question.
 
4:57 PM
@rolfl but if they were trying to write cd Data onto a DVD it wouldn't write as deep anyway
 
@kleinfreund - I am on that bubble at the moment on SU.
 
@kleinfreund It really depends on a case per case basis I'd say
 
if that makes sense
 
This answer is getting much more attention than it deserves :( superuser.com/questions/749702/…
 
@SimonAndréForsberg Well... I might make an attempt later today if it's still open then, don't know if I should go all in depth into Java 8 stuff yet, or keep it very basic
 
4:58 PM
@Malachi I don't know. Why would you?
 
15 rep from @Max on SU..... very odd.
 
@rolfl Are you serious? It has handdrawn stuff on it. Autovote.

@Malachi I'm surprised no one has edited out the noise (and fixed the grammar), but I've just submitted a suggested edit.
 
@rolfl Want us to downvote it for you?
 
Well, it's embarassing .... it's not that good of an answer .... and I thought you had all upvoted it already .... but apparently you hadn't, so it got 2 upvotes, so @max.

@rolfl I also know another way of how you get high upvoted answers on SO

A: What are the differences between abstract classes and interfaces in Java 8?

skiwiInterfaces cannot have state associated with them. Abstract classes can have state associated with them. Furthermore, default methods in interfaces need not be implemented. So in this way, it will not break already existing code, as while the interface does receive an update, the implementing c...

 
@kleinfreund I am saying the only reason it can't be read is because of the Layering. if you were to write CD Data onto a DVD Disc, the Writer would Write CD data which isn't as deep pitted.
 
@SimonAndréForsberg Your best SO answer is quite impressive for its simplicity
 
Yeah.. I had that in our classes. Same goes for Bluray. Their pits and lands are not as deep as both the ones from CD's and DVD's.
 
And .... that SU question is now "Hot".
(the cable).
 
5:03 PM
My best answer has many upvotes, but my questions don't. Would prefer the other way round actually. But they don't deserve it.
 
@skiwi I know! That is a typical example of a question + answers that has received way more than they deserve!
 
@rolfl Glad we could help. :p
 
@rolfl If it makes you feel any better, I still haven't voted on your SU answer.
 
hehehe ..... @Max-for-real on SU.... go ahead, it won't make a difference.
 
@rolfl Your cable went hot, congrats

Yeah, it needed to be grounded ;-)

A: Should I install Internet Explorer updates although I disabled it?

Malachiother things use Internet Explorer that you may not be aware of, so if there are security updates for IE you should install them. Other applications uses scripts and pieces of the IE application. I don't know exactly how it works, but yes you should install the IE updates.

Badges galore.
@Jamal I am hoping for constable before yearling.
 
6:06 PM
If we really are the first beta site to earn Generalist, then maybe we'll graduate automatically. ;-)
 
We wish :)
 
@Jamal I have manually scanned all sites. We are.
None of the graduated sites ever awarded the generalist before the first elections.
 
Or as rolfl said: someone needs to earn Reviewer for the reopen queue on Meta.
 
Hey, I made a start ;-)
 
Or... maybe there's some riddle we must solve.
 
6:10 PM
There are currently two cards in Hearthstone that I'm absolutely just not sure how to implement. Auchenai Soulpriest and Prophet Velen. Suggestions, anyone?
 
19 graduated sites have more generalists than us.
25 have fewer.
Of those 25, 22 have none.
I see the badges are listed in order of ID.... so, the long-term members are near the bottom.
Makes sense.
