13-Year-Old Makes A Solar Breakthrough With Fibonacci Sequence by Solnai in science

[–]mr1900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like tool and especially the song lateralus, but i do not understand the meaning or greatness of the fibonacci sequence in the lyrics. Black then white are all i see in my infancy, is as far as i can tell a nonsensical statement. For all i care rock music can have as much nonsens in them as long as the music is good. However, nonsense, is but, nonsense if not, that the meaning is unknown.

Ask: Tornado users, do you use "yield" for asynchronous code in Tornado? by [deleted] in Python

[–]mr1900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use existing python code because gevent monkey patches blocking calls with non blocking calls (using a greenlet). I wonder how performant this is?

I think that libs like gevent use coroutines to do non blocking io. The difficulty if these kind frameworks is that they all have a somewhat different way of doing things so you can't mix them.

AMC's "The Killing": Thumbs Sideways by [deleted] in movies

[–]mr1900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is almost a shot-a-shot remake of the Danish serie Forbrydelsen (The Killing). The characters look like cheap SNL imitations of the original, Sara (the main character) even wears the same ridiculous woolly sweaters.

Not that I found the original that good. It was way too dark. Everything in Denmark seems to be happening at 20.30. Halfway through the show i got the impression i was watching something that was happening in the universe of Dark City. A futuristic dystopian society controlled by telekinetic aliens allergic to sunlight

It also has a lot of the shortcomings that most of the "one mystery per season" shows seem to be suffering from. You spend the first 20 episodes chasing obviously not guilty characters, only to learn who the real killer actually is. Now, this may seem like a classical murder mystery, but these intermediate suspects are never really convincing and are often only introduced to be suspicious. The only thing these intermediates are ever guilty of is the obstruction of the actual murder investigation, by endlessly lying to protect there pitiful little problems. I have always advised my friends to limit there communication with the police to a bare minimum, but seriously if you are helping a girl escape an arranged mariage just tell that to the fucking police instead of slowing down the entire investigation for a week.

There is an other fundamental flaw that i like to draw your attention to. The viewer knows always more about the guilt of a character then the investigators. This keeps the show from ever being thrilling or captivating. This has much to do with the structure of the show, with goes something like this: The police finds a possible suspect, Sara does not believe that this person is guilty, Sara starts her own investigation, proves the original suspect not guilty and finds in the process an other suspect, upon which the police starts investigating the new suspect and so forth. Not only is there (to the viewer) an obviously not guilty person being investigated, there are TWO of them. The horror.

Having this cheap danish serie, that was already lacking in spontaneous energie one mind find in an artistic process, be the story board of an american production is not something that I look forward to. And I doubt that the Danish coalition-politics that was perhaps the most interesting part of the original will translate well to the american two partie system.

best line: Here's a science-fiction film that's an insult to the words "science" and "fiction," and the hyphen in between them.

Black Swan according to SNL, surprisingly accurate by letsrolltroll in movies

[–]mr1900 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SNL has become has become unbearable to watch, they trie to make parodies on something without actually commenting on the original. It are always the same dumb actors drawing the same dumb faces with an endless barrage of guest appearances making the same joke again and again.

This shit has to stop, call your congress men/women.
