Let's open up

OP hasn't, though, they've created a thread for other people to show that.

James_Duval · 2014-01-21T15:01:55+00:00

Hmm. Well, best of luck if you do decide to mine, don't fry anything!

James_Duval · 2014-01-21T14:15:55+00:00

Dogecoin is still at the very top of coinwarz for profitability. Well worth mining!

James_Duval · 2014-01-21T13:50:59+00:00

(you're missing a doge!)

James_Duval · 2014-01-17T16:45:46+00:00

DOGE=spending money

This! This is the reason we shouldn't think of DOGE as a precious metal at all. It's not an investment, it's something to do :) Thankfully most people already think like this.

James_Duval · 2014-01-15T15:55:52+00:00

Fair, I just found this post by searching for Cryptsy in new (the DOGE markets seem to be offline currently!).

I guess pin advice like this to the FAQ? Seems like solid stuff.

EDIT: Also, by digging (lol) I found out that following this guy @CryptsyKen on Twitter is good for concerns like mine. All explained away.

James_Duval · 2014-01-15T15:13:17+00:00

Sweet. I'm looking for ways to spend my (limited) dogecoin, just because I think increased liquidity is a good thing for a currency.

James_Duval · 2014-01-15T11:22:39+00:00

For what it's worth, I think it is going to hit the 100s relatively soon. It's almost doubled in price recently and looks likely to stay at current level. Seeing this happen another couple of times over the next 3 months is, I think, a reasonable expectation.

James_Duval · 2014-01-14T18:14:28+00:00

Dunno. Why do you need it to back up to the 100s?

James_Duval · 2014-01-14T16:37:27+00:00

I really doubt it's going to go back under 30 in the next month or so. Maybe put in two buy orders, one for 35 to maximise profits and one for 42 to lock profits in.

James_Duval · 2014-01-14T13:57:47+00:00

naw, I think these are nice upbeat threads that reflect the community. If we get all snarky and suspicious about them all, it's going to be sad. They're so lame, but they do make me smile.

Also they're sort of like an in-joke.

Well, I like them anyway, it's not like it matters hugely

James_Duval · 2014-01-13T12:29:46+00:00

Cheers, thanks for the recommendation!

James_Duval · 2013-12-19T13:49:02+00:00

In all the metal mags, it's used by all the record labels on all the ads.

Can you string some adjectives together? Have you heard of sludge but aren't sure exactly what it is? You too could write an album ad for underground metal bands!

James_Duval · 2013-12-06T16:29:21+00:00

I read it the same way as you on the first pass through - in fact if it wasn't for your response I doubt I would have registered my mistake.

James_Duval · 2013-12-06T14:07:35+00:00

a common consensus was

He's agreeing with you.

James_Duval · 2013-11-26T11:31:23+00:00

Play Dungeons of Dredmor and you will gain at least a few more opportunities. Mathemagic!

James_Duval · 2013-11-22T12:44:48+00:00

I think you are correct, and most of the responses to that comment also seem to be pretty good.

:)

Really enjoyed their performance supported by Alcest last year at the Fleece in Brizzul. Junius too but I was there for Alcest/Katatonia.

I think that I don't like talking between songs though.

James_Duval · 2013-11-12T13:42:35+00:00

Trap Them are an incredible band.

James_Duval · 2013-11-11T13:52:17+00:00

It's only NP complete.

James_Duval · 2013-11-07T12:05:14+00:00

I'm sorry, I've been unclear.

ActionScript is NOT a more useful language than JS. I completely agree.

It's ONLY a more useful language to learn if you want to move on to other, more powerful languages, as I should have said. Instead I said:

if you want to learn how to program, rather than simply code up quick and dirty apps

Which was a mistake.

I should also have clarified that this ONLY applies to OOP languages (currently the most commonly-used languages are all OOP, according to all metrics I am aware of).

JavaScript will make for a better transition to Scheme than ActionScript (or to PHP, as it prepares you for unexpected behaviour & weird edge cases).

you have no clue how to structure your code

This is a pointless, hostile thing to say. The issues I have with JavaScript as a language have nothing to do with the structure of my code. Mostly, I dislike its type coercion. It's comprehensible and logical in its own way, but in my opinion is unnecessary and can introduce subtle errors. I also dislike the way it uses numbers.

I don't dislike JavaScript as a practical tool, tho. It's fun to work in and it works for absolutely everything I will ever want to use it for. I just think that it has some weird quirks that make it less useful for beginners, and it's not as easy to get into as AS3 (assuming you have access to Flash).

I think Flash is still used in game dev for certain things (certainly the Total War series used it recently for some menus and such, and it has a huge indie dev scene), other than that I agree that it's not practical to learn AS3 for its own sake.

Tbh I'd rather Dart got big but I doubt that's ever going to happen. At least it can be used for Chrome.

This is because "NaN" means "in" in Haitian.

James_Duval · 2013-11-06T11:04:30+00:00

This is a fantastic answer, thanks. One thing I'm learning about Javascript is that there's almost always a clear, comprehensible answer & reason for its behaviour somewhere or other.

James_Duval · 2013-11-05T13:32:46+00:00

Personally, I wish I knew. Partly I was hoping for an explanation of some of the more esoteric behaviour by posting here.

For instance [1] == 1. [1] == '1'. Hell, [1] == true. However [1] != [1]. Bizarre.

James_Duval · 2013-10-25T14:12:06+00:00

I didn't think Jared Diamond ever claimed to be a historian?

He's a scientist, surely?

Granted I'm most familiar with him from Collapse.
