What do you think of programmers?
Also While I'm at it its not that important but its Canada day today \o/
sorry for mentioning it

Can't access files from Event Files link. It's directing to my own Google disc.

Yeah I think it's really funny this is supposed to be about coding and OP doesn't even realize how personal URL formatting works. xD
Edit: Thanks for finally fixing it. ;]

the cool is commented out-this reply contains nothing
Comment has been collapsed.
Comments contain nothing for the compiler,
If they really contained nothing, we wouldn't comment.
Comments contain your thoughts, hopes for the future, jokes, and compassion for your fellow coder.
...Which is why code is often un-commented.

/*
I am nothing more than a compiler
parseing through code and spitting out an exe
I never comment
send help I can't read the shitty project I was working on a few months ago and I've decided its easier to restart
I'm looking at it and I'm convinced I was complely plastered when I wrote it

For my Electronical Engineering Bachelor Project I programmed an Arduino Mega to do some nifty things, with just a buzzer, LED and a few sensors...if that counts for anything.

Unrelated, but, here's something I made on the antennas/signal modulation topic at one of my classes.
n=3;
r=7000;
f=10^7;
I0=3;
c=310^8;
Z0=120pi;
k0=2pif/c;
step=0.01pi/180;
teta=-pi:step:pi;
E01=(jZ0I0)/(2pir);
E02=cos((2n+1)(pi/2)cos(teta))./sin(teta);
E03=exp(-jk0r);
E04=(jI0)/(2pir);
E0=abs(E01.E02.E03);
Hf=abs(E04.E02.*E03);
polar(teta,E0)
polar(teta,Hf)

i wrote a tool (ok, I didn't wrote all by myself, but a big part) to creatre lists to play warhammer (or as it is dead) the 9th age
see here
if I find some time, i will try the others too
and yes I like programing, like otherwise I wouldn't study computer science

Cool idea. Not gonna get into it because I don't want any of these games, but I appreciate the thought. I actually considered doing a programming puzzle myself, but more of a theoretical one than actually getting people to write code. Didn't even consider an idea like yours, which is pretty neat.
As for opinions on programming - I'm more into the theory than the practice myself. I mean, writing code is nice, and seeing it work is very satisfying, but it's far from the fun part for me. I like thinking up algorithms and data structures, minimizing complexity and all that shit. Actually writing it down afterwards is just a whole lot of relatively-mindless effort and painful debugging.

:3 I'm deeply ashamed they weren't included!
but I'm also too lazy to fix them...
cause I'd have to type it in

This looks fun, gonna try Option 2.
Edit: Got an answer but apparently isn't the right one. :(

I wrote some quick and hideous code, but it works. Thanks for the fun event!

Got what I'm sure is the right XXXXX code but apparently it's not, because isn't working. Are you sure you got the conditions right ?
Comment has been collapsed.
well multiple people got in so I think so?
there should be two correct XXXXX codes one to each
Comment has been collapsed.
did you make sure its the only XXXXX code in the line?
Comment has been collapsed.
I will post the line now with changed characheters/numbers but the same format and tell me why its not correct and because of which condition (1,2 or 3):
? Y > v W ~ Q u : 2 I 1 0 l d q " Z { 8 B ` > [ = j & M < 8 P 2 V H ' i c s ? D
And and got that 8 P 2 V H is the XXXXX code. Checking manually too i think it fits all conditions, please tell me what im doing wrong?
Comment has been collapsed.
izzza bug! \o/
and in all honesty if you got a line like that it should be the correct one
although the first time around 1 of the two correct lines hadn't been changed yet so it might be that line
is the code 3zfgU?
if it is then that was from the old file and theres a new one up
Comment has been collapsed.
If mgbnn (that commented below you) is correct then it is not a bug I didn't understand the condition 3 haha, i will try again.

A bump for solving option two, though see my comment in the Ashes giveaway for the caveats.

What do you think of programmers?
They're people. Most of them.
Really, I have a problem providing stereotyped answers. I can't even do that for lawyers. They're not all bad. :) It will even fail for politicians. Stereotyping tends to fail once you get to know people more deeply.
(BTW, I'm Bryan a programmer and so's my wife.)

Those who use spaces earn a lot more money. As a colleague of mine said when we read about that: "I always use spaces. Sometimes my entire code is whitespace."
Comment has been collapsed.
He must be really cool to use a language like that! :)

Comment has been collapsed.
what about setting my ide to output 4 spaces with a tab?
Comment has been collapsed.
That would definitely do it.
Personally, having worked with both Visual Studio and Xcode, the former sets tabs, the latter sets spaces. I imagine that it's simply that Mac programmers get paid more.
Comment has been collapsed.
To be fair, not everyone has a choice whether to use spaces or tabs. We don't have such choice in Python: Holy Link.
Here's a discussion on this matter. The third answer puts it in clear terms:
Thus spake the Lord: Thou shalt indent with four spaces. No more, no less. Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.

But.... you can't just ignore the Word!
In all seriousness, those are valid reasons to use tabs. There are some reasons to use spaces too. Tabs are highly editor-dependent, while spaces are something that "just works". Maybe it all comes down to personal preferences and habits, for example, whether you stick to one environment, which you have customized perfectly to your needs, or whether you use a lot of various editors and would prefer to avoid spending too much time in their settings.
However, since Python depends on indentation, all these reasons become somewhat irrelevant. You have to have one standard or you'll have to deal with the indentation each time you work with someone else's code.
You must repent! :)

Fineee if you want to be anal about it what do you think of the profession? :3
Comment has been collapsed.
Full of anal retentive people, obviously.
As a profession? It's a good fit for a minority of people, there's a general problem with management not getting programming well, it's pretty unstable as a career path, but it pays pretty well.
Comment has been collapsed.
bump for solving 1. LoL you call that encryption :))
Maybe will try 2 for fun as well.
Comment has been collapsed.
:P I mean its one line of code once you recognize what it is :P
I never claimed it was particularly difficult
Comment has been collapsed.
option 1: done
option 2: done (directly in Sublime Text)
option 3: is template meta programming enough? https://github.com/minirop/bitfield-helpers
(in fact, I already have Sunrider and don't care about Ashes, but I love programming)

Feel free to skip the intro if you like
Alright I have something to admit...I think programmers are pretty cool.
while all the autojoin bots are annoying I can't bring myself to resent the people who made them. I still don't like all the script kiddes who use said scripts/extensions without a care in the world but the amount of work put into writing them impresses me slightly. On a more positive note all the people who go out of thire way to write utility scripts for the convenience of sg users diverse some recognition. And anyone tech savy enough to know how to code anything has my praise.
On to the actual event
I have two GA's running two weeks and a few different ways you can get to them.
no restrictions
Event Files
1 Option 1 Figure out how to decodet the link from the hidden file. Its been encoded in a relatively simple way for those who know what thire doing.
2 Option 2 Write a program/figure out how to parse the text file "SGEvent.txt" using these 3 rules
???abs1a??213? would work but not ???3a3a3a??? or asd11??asd2a
The file has 300 lines each with 40 characters you can use whatever language you want to try and find the correct line and once you do the group of 5 characters you found is the correct code to go in the link /XXXXX/
It would make me happy if someone figured out how to do this option however I'm only 95% sure it will work beacause I'm not as confidint in my own coding skills so while I got it to work I might have been doing something wrong.
A "hello world" program or similar wont cut it. (basically all the people who wrote scripts for SG get a free pass
For the third option you must prove somehow that you wrote it yourself and I'll message you the link.
As for anyone else Id love for you to bump the thread with any computer related gifs/pictures/jokes to spread awareness
and maybe share what you think of coding.
