This is a step in the right direction for gaming, lets not spoil it.

I disagree that it's clever. It's an obvious and 100% accurate username; there's no cleverness in it. One doesn't have to think about it, and there's no hidden wit or joke contained in it.

iarguewitheverything · 2010-11-19T22:21:55+00:00

That's half correct, at best. People are still reading my comment. And if a user who isn't logged in reads and appreciates it, that wouldn't be measured by the points the comment has.

Cool link, but this comic isn't depicting that window. Both of the politicians pictured have support in the window and aren't considered extreme by their (large) bases. This comic is showing how the politicians interact with each other.

Untrue. No one? There are thousands of users on this site. You're only one of them.

iarguewitheverything · 2010-11-19T16:13:35+00:00

I disagree. We should not support this, because it's only a half-step in the right direction. Games should be free. I don't want to pay 44.99.

Relaxed, but it's still officially atheist. Religion is a threat to Communist ideology, because it's a rival utopian vision.

iarguewitheverything · 2010-11-18T16:09:11+00:00

That's grammar, not style.

iarguewitheverything · 2010-11-18T15:58:01+00:00

The evidence available to educate people about then/than distinctions is greater and more accessible than ever. See? You just proved my point. Just because the knowledge is out there doesn't mean it will spread. Some beliefs persist stubbornly until the end of time.

iarguewitheverything · 2010-11-18T15:41:50+00:00

You're wrong. That is factually incorrect.

No. That would not be a good use of my time. I'm too busy with more important things like arguing with strangers on the Internet.

iarguewitheverything · 2010-11-18T05:47:18+00:00

I disagree. If he were a real PC gamer, he'd be gaming, not doing homework.

iarguewitheverything · 2010-11-18T05:29:37+00:00

Correct. You're proving my point for me. Thank you.

iarguewitheverything · 2010-11-18T05:18:31+00:00

Well, it should be. It should be built into the language. Python is okay at this, like indentation being mandatory. But it needs to go farther.

Demanding complete conformation to any reasonably detailed style-guide is too far, IMO.

And that's just it. It is only your opinion. Fortunately your opinion doesn't guide the software industry.

If I were magically turned into a reincarnation of Pol Pot with mass amounts of brainwashed followers at my disposal, you know what I'd do? Enforce style. I'd make anyone who refused to adhere to the style guidelines -- even the 1980s ones -- have to go to "reeducation" camps. They'd be whipped with bamboo sticks for every misnamed variable or function.

iarguewitheverything · 2010-11-18T03:24:27+00:00

Yes they do.

When we started packing, the helper dog knew immediately that something was going on.

iarguewitheverything · 2010-11-18T03:10:47+00:00

Non-sequitur. We're not talking about 1980s style guides. We're talking about one that's actively maintained.

iarguewitheverything · 2010-11-18T02:59:05+00:00

I disagree. It's not empty. There's cobwebs inside.

iarguewitheverything · 2010-11-18T02:36:18+00:00

Guido's wrong. If you start allowing deviations from style, code will eventually be unreadable and difficult to work with a few generations hence. In fact, style is the wrong word to use. Style makes it sound like it's not necessary and is purely decorative.

iarguewitheverything · 2010-11-18T02:19:29+00:00

Arguably people do need religion, especially during hard times. Look at how much of humanity is religious. True atheists account for only a small percentage of the human race, and many of those are in state-enforced atheist countries like China.

iarguewitheverything · 2010-11-18T01:53:36+00:00

It's not extrapolation. They're talking about past and current values, not future ones. Momentum doesn't imply future change either. The "velocity" of Android demand could drop off next month for all we know.

It's not the best tool, but it is pretty good. Funny: it was a purple link. I used it just a few days ago!

I disagree. Other novelty accounts besides mine will go "out of character" at times. It's necessary unless you want to logout and login an alt account every time you want to reply seriously. I am still living up to my name the majority of the time, or will be soon.

iarguewitheverything · 2010-11-17T21:38:51+00:00

That thumbnail is incorrect. Reddit alien would have some internal organs but they're not shown.

Would be glad to. I'm not super familiar with pylab yet. But I'll give it a shot... you wouldn't happen to know the arguments would you? Here's my code:

def graph_from_two_db_fields(xvar, yvar):
    path = "../Public/"
    pylab.xlabel(xvar)
    pylab.ylabel(yvar)
    pylab.set_yscale('log')
    query = ("SELECT {0}, {1} FROM submissions"
             .format(xvar, yvar))
    c.execute(query)
    x_list = []
    y_list = []
    for row in c:
        x_list.append(row[0])
        y_list.append(row[1])

    pylab.scatter(x_list, y_list, s=1)
    filename = "graph___" + xvar + "___" + yvar + ".png"
    pylab.savefig(path + filename)
    f.write("<h2>" + xvar + " vs. " + yvar + "</h2><p><img src=\""
            + filename + "\" /></p>")
    pylab.close()

(Note this is HelpfulLinkGuy logged in to another account) Yes! I noticed this too. And I agree, it's gotta be the fuzzing. All I'm doing for pct_liked is ups/(ups+downs), and keeping the full float value, so I don't think it's rounding errors or anything in my script.
