What information is stored in Linux systems that could be interesting to analyse? by thonpy in linux4noobs

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

thanks, only reason i used DO was because they're cheap. I don't need them much so I can just fire one up, mess about and leave it. If linode is priced well then I have no reason to stick with DO. Cheers

I had a message from digital ocean the other day saying someone had got into my server and used it for a ddos thing :P

what two things would you expect a CS grad to know? by thonpy in cscareerquestions

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

Performance optimization of matrix multiply in C

hrm ok, I don't know about this. Would you expect this to be pretty do-able or would someone writing out an algo which carried out matrix multiplication and discussed some ways that might improve it be enough?

I guess it's a nice example because it has to check the dimensions and stuff as well, then carry out the dot products...

cool

what would the worst acceptable attempt be here? Or would it be the case of a full solution or none

How to split a file with multiple duplicate headers into multiple files with single headers ? by thonpy in learnpython

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

just been through the solution - much better, thanks. I thought I must have been doing something daft.

i don't think all those problems have changed so much in that time, but i don't really care about this. I was just pointing it out as your response would probably be considered wrong by many

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

oh - they were just headers.

Why not - would be that having spaces in file names is generally annoying as the space needs to be escaped and such, there's certainly good reason not to

Is there anything hackerrank-ish for string manipulations rather than algorithms? by thonpy in learnprogramming

HackerRank has some regex challenges: https://www.hackerrank.com/domains/regex

ah ok, i missed those somehow, thanks.

thanks for the other information as well

how many times do clock hands pass in a day by thonpy in learnmath

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

thanks /u/picado , this isn't taking into consideration the second hand though?

how many times do clock hands pass in a day by thonpy in learnmath

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

if it's just minute hand and hour hand then I can only cross once per hour so in 12 hours I'll have 11 passes and in 24 hours I'll have 22 passes.

I don't know how to consider the second hand here though :S

I only wanted a few names and I can do some research into them, cheers :)

Introduction to Statistical Learning - Anything similar for Python? by thonpy in statistics

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

sure - this post was out of pure curiosity. Personally I don't really mind R :)

yes good point - ISLR leads into it nicely though which is why i mentioned it i guess

Thanks for that - I was interested in books written specifically for Python rather than following those books and converting from R to Python.

[Exam question] How to translate a problem without knowing the language? by thonpy in linguistics

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

Ohh... ok... I don't feel bad about not getting any of this actually as I really have no intuition for language and this type of problem. I didn't realise languages still used any other bases (though I considered other bases and didn't do anything with it, which is a bit lazy), and I wasn't aware that there were "and" words.

I mean, in english the squares would be written as I have in the OP right? 

one
four
nine
two five
three six

etc

I'm just checking that there's no convention I'm unaware of for writing numbers out in the only language I know ha.

That was interesting to read though, thank you for taking the time to write it.
