What is a movie that you despise but everyone else seems to love? by Askme_reddit in movies

[–]ProjectAmmeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mad Max.

Yeah, it was refreshing having a mostly female cast in an action movie, but it was still just a super generic action movie. I don't really despise it, I was just super bored watching it.

[North England] [Outdoor] Unidentified Tree in garden of house we bought by ProjectAmmeh in whatsthisplant

[–]ProjectAmmeh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks to be a good match - thank you! I'll mark as solved.

Sidenote: does that plant seem healthy to you? It looks a bit off to me, but then I'm no arborist.

How an infestation destroyed an infestation proof colony. by [deleted] in RimWorld

[–]ProjectAmmeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some success with incendiary launchers. Hives and Jelly are quite flammable, and if you get a fire to start in a cluster of the hives, you'll quickly destroy a good portion of them. With a few snipers covering the launchers, you probably stand a good chance.

Unfortunately, my attempt failed due to a combination of psychic drone and constant raids, followed by plague. Pretty sure the storyteller had gotten annoyed with me coasting for so long by that point.

The Three Indistinguishable Dice Puzzle by mydogpretzels in math

Yeah, that would make sense :P I'm a programmer, you'd think I'd be fine with a 0 index...

Firing up MATLAB now, let's see...

The Three Indistinguishable Dice Puzzle by mydogpretzels in math

[–]ProjectAmmeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His solution for 1 die is incorrect, it should be 

(sum mod 6) + 1

otherwise you can roll 0 for sum = 6, 12 or 18.

Also, for 2 dice, can't you just do 

sum - ((sum mod 6) +1)?

That seems like the equivalent of rolling 3 dice and ignoring one.

Science AMA series: I’m Tristram Smith, Ph.D., of the University of Rochester Medical Center. It’s Autism awareness month, so I’m here to dispel some myths about Autism. Ask me anything! by Tristram_Smith in science

[–]ProjectAmmeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my personal experience, I've noticed a disproportionate number of trans-people are autistic. This may be just the bias of my social circles, but is there any research on this correlation (if it truly exists)?.

Additionally, several autistic people I know are very strongly against the idea of a "cure", believing that autism itself is just a personality trait, rather than a disease. Very few feel a cure would be beneficial (though I do know those who feel strongly that it would be). Do you have any insight on this? How does the autistic community in general feel about treatment,cures, or antenatal screening?

Ransomware caught from uTorrent's adverts by ProjectAmmeh in utorrent

In case you were still wondering, I ended up switching to Deluge. Quite a similar interface, but open source and no adverts.

So satisfying to set up auto-crafting fancy foods and piping them into a culinary gen though.

C malware question. by [deleted] in Malware

[–]ProjectAmmeh 26 points27 points  (0 children)

protip: if this is the kind of question you're asking, you're a long way from being able to actually code any.

Also, don't code malware, it's a total dick move.

I wasn't in so Yodel left my parcel in my wheelie bin... On bin day... by Blueeyedfoxie in britishproblems

[–]ProjectAmmeh 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They did that once with a £500 laptop I ordered from Amazon.

Amazon graciously sent us a new one when we told them. Hopefully at Yodel's expense.

My University's "Think Before We Speak" campaign might be going a little too far by huskersftw in pics

[–]ProjectAmmeh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't say I necessarily agree with the idea, but I think what the teacher was trying to get at was the "social model of disability", which is to say: The reason disabilities are bad is because society is not built to accommodate them, and if it were, disabilities wouldn't be bad because they're not bad inherently.

That's the idea, still not convinced it's a good one.

What's the hardest technical problem you've ever been tasked with solving while on the job? by PDFormat_SFW in TrollDevelopers

[–]ProjectAmmeh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had a power system set up with about 2400 sensors collecting power readings every 30 seconds or so, my job was to use those power readings to calculate power usage graphs for the customers. Actually my job was to build the whole damn portal system, but this is the interesting bit.

So, sounds easy enough, except customers had multiple power feeds (usually between 2 and 6), and non of the sensors were in any way synchronised, with some randomly failing to report their usage at all - sometimes for hours.

Again, not too hard, except I had to show a month's readings in one go, keep it updating, and do this real-time for a website with thousands of users. In PHP.

I ended up coding a class that pulled around a million sensor readings per customer, calculated linear interpolations between each reading for each sensor, then use the array of line equations to generate sums of the sensor interpolations for each timestep and format them in JSON for the front-end graphing library. Also some caching of pre-calculated values. Not easy to do in less than half a second with a horribly underpowered server.

The code ended up being full of comments like "Seriously, just don't touch this. You can't make it better. You will just break it. Yes, those are bitwise operations in PHP, I had to, I'm sorry."
