TROPHY CASE

Does reddit know a gateway website that lets me go to any website on any device using a style sheet hosted on the gateway? by SeanJMin webdev

[–]Samus_ 0 points1 point ago

it doesn't work on some devices? you mean those that do not have Firefox/Chrome or a case where those two do not work with it?

Recreation of that animated gif with the concentric spinning squares in a canvas element. by Duovariousin webdev

[–]Samus_ -5 points-4 points ago

if you have to ask you're already insane.

listen guys it's funny and as sgenius says "impressive" but totally impractical, tedious and utterly pointless (and I'm not even mentioning the semantics).

doing it with divs is just a toy, I work with this shit so I'm not interested.

canvas vs raphael.js would be more interesting, doing that with divs is insane if at all possible.

Buffer list vs arguments list? by cyberdouchein vim

[–]Samus_ 0 points1 point ago

you can modify it that's true but the argslist is inconsistent with the actual open files, that's why I recommend to always use buffers.

How to make a site really freaking fast by sidcool1234in programming

[–]Samus_ 6 points7 points ago

for a CEO you're pretty knowledgeable, I bet it's pretty nice to work with you.

having the people who make decisions willing and able to understand what you're saying makes a whole lot of difference.

Buffer list vs arguments list? by cyberdouchein vim

[–]Samus_ 0 points1 point ago

I used to use the arguments before I understood the buffers, the argument list is just the files that were passed on the commandline, the buffers are the open files (even unsaved).

use buffers always.

you'll probably discard a lot of things but not as much as you say here, the Eiffel Tower is a decoration and a decoration is inherently aesthetic, it is meant to be pleasing, it does not have any other function (there's few exceptions of "functional decorations" which are decorations you can use but the use is secondary since they're suboptimal because they favor form over function).

what you claim is that the definition comes from consensus, there's few things that actually work that way remarkably: language (which has some very laughable entities who soppsedly "regulate its use, but in the end people just tasks the way they fucking want and redefine the language regardless of these people).

I'd like to quote this from your previous mesasge "Art isn't an ends to a means, it's an aesthetic facilitator for intellectual and emotional rumination. You don't have to agree, it's subjective, there's a matter of preference" this contradicts your idea of an interpretation based on a secred code from the artist (thus invalidating OP's claims) what this phrase means is "art is for me whatever it makes me feel" which is what I've been saying, you're making up stuff by doing those elaborate "interpretations" based on invalid symbolism (the Eiffel tower isn't a phallic symbol, that is plain bullshit, it doesn't reseble nor is associated with a phallus in any way).

if you want agreement based on consensus then you need common sense which is definitely not that contrived reading OP did, the video is hot because the girl is hot and does movements that (literally) resemble sex, that's all there;s it to it and that's all you'll get to agree on given a sufficiently large crowd, thus that is the intepretation, the one everyone gets.

[–]Samus_ 0 points1 point ago

there's no underlying meaning and that's the point, if you call yourself an artist and you produce things that are encoded in a secret or even an arbitrary language you're just making riddles, I stand by my original definition "art is a way to communicate emotion" everything else is not art.

that is another interesting point, by using those "arbitrary interpretations" the art critique allows himself to determine what is art and what is not but it does on his own and that's faulty too, if I can't reach the same conclusion without you telling me then you don't have a definition.

not having a definition is what allows "troll artists" who just expose random things and even admit they're random but given their fame and support, are assumed to be "art" also those deliberate interpretations aren't objective, I could come up with a completely different interpretation other than OP's for the linked video and it would still match that's because there's no code, there's no "language of the artist" you guys are making things up.

google "pokemon psychology" and you'll see a very good example of arbitrary interpretation, many in fact.

well I don't agree with the established norm, that doesn't make it false.

I could explain my posture but you'll probably think it's nonsense, people who adhere to the norm are unable to see for themselves.

I'm just going to say that any "system" that isn't able to determinisitically decide whether something is true or false isn't right, no matter how many adherents it has.

art is a way to communicate emotion, if you have to explain it you failed.

Kis-js, a small, simple javascript library by timw4mailin javascript

[–]Samus_ 2 points3 points ago

list everything, then let people know they don't need to include all.

otherwise it's a waste of time even checking it.

What does "==- " means? by carbamazepinein PHP

[–]Samus_ -1 points0 points ago

you don't know that and you can't assume just because in this particular language it is allowed, that's what I mean.

(by "bug" I assume you understand "bug in the code" not in PHP itself).

What does "==- " means? by carbamazepinein PHP

[–]Samus_ -1 points0 points ago

the fact that it works doesn't mean it's not a bug, it's particularily suspicious since it's being applied to a string.

nonetheless it could be intentional, it's PHP after all.

Randomly Interleave 2 Arrays In Python by josefonsecain Python

it is random but not uniformily distributed (which I think wasn't a requirement maybe I missed that).

was that required? missed that.

how about:

from random import randint

def interleave(*args):
    while args:
        chosen = args[randint(0, len(args)-1)]
        yield chosen.pop(0)
        args = [arg for arg in args if arg]

We Who Value Simplicity Have Built Incomprehensible Machines by SimonLeemanin programming

[–]Samus_ 4 points5 points ago

that's what major versions are for, major version should screw users always, they should be forced to do that even when unnecessary just to get people used to it.

a major version change should be considered a totally new software.

google isn't a good source for bash, too much noise.

that site is pretty good, it shows your solution as the first choice but makes some remarks regarding performance which I think are relevant.
