Here's the coding in case anybody's curious. Every single moveclip there has this coding.
//start random color code
onClipEvent (load) {
myColor = Math.round(Math.random()*0xFFFFFF);
myColoredObject = new Color(this);
myColoredObject.setRGB(myColor);
}

@ceruleanspark Oh, I get it. The post under coder ponies can only be seen by the guy who made it and staff. It's got that little orange padlock on it.

@thelastgherkin That's a thing?

@scribus Apparently? No idea. I can't see it from this account, whether I've joined !coderponies or not.

Barrel distortion can be precalculated so that you just can look up where the pixels map to, no need for GPU. Figured this a few weeks ago.

@caret7 Let's use precalculated sine tables for all of our trig math instead of invoking that slow-ass processor thing. Kappa

@redenchilada Sadly my laptop has a slow cpu and no gpu, so I have to figure economical ways of doing the math :)

!coderponies On a often-used Mac, I left bash for zsh and installed oh-my-zsh (then left it for prezto) and antigen. ALL HAIL ZSH

@twilisparkle45 Sure! I'll stow all the major assignment due dates into the program's directory, and it will use the 'sendmail' program to e-mail me whenever a due date approaches.
-
@caret7 What kind of command would do that kind of searching (for dates in, say, a txt file)?
-
@twilisparkle45 Each assignment has its own file, with due date on the first line and alert date on the second line. The dates are in seconds since the epoch. <3 sed http://pastebin.com/kJ7xJCP2

@techdisk C is, in fact, the predecessor to both C++ and C#, which are both mostly supersets of C. C++ has access to all of C's functionality via the <c*> headers, but has automated garbage collection and an OOP system. I would argue that idiomatic C++ and C# are higher-level than C, and Java is around the same level as idiomatic C#.

@broniebrown Fortran is like a German Luger. old, reliable, old fashioned, and people look at you kinda funny for trying to bring one to the table.
-
@critialcloudkicker Fortran is for weird people and for those who are way behind. Fortran uses column major matrices, whereas other languages use row major order. Fortran is only used in archaic system environments and surprisingly in high performance computing.
-
@broniebrown If it us used in high performance computing ( whereas you may arguably argue that it could be replaced ( and may work better with ) a "new" age programming language ), if it is still used I see the pro's to learning that language. Hence where we come to the "Luger to the table" analogy. arguably argue ? is that correct english ?

!coderponies Teacher taught us about defining custom Java robots (in this case called "Athletes"). Of course I took this opportunity to define way more commands than he told us to and as a result my main class work was done in like half the amount of code than my classmates.

Paging someone knowledgeable about laptop hardware. My hard drive's showing incredibly long seek times and I think it might need replacing. I have an HP Pavilion dv7 (that I'll probably replace altogether in the long run, but while I'm tight on funds, just a hard drive will do). Would something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA65W22F1455 be what I want?

@critialcloudkicker Battery life isn't that important and I'd like to have something that runs fine without being expensive. An SSD wouldn't provide enough benefit for me on this laptop to justify. My current hard drive is 640GB.
-
@redenchilada I went for a quick stroll on that website and found http://pny.lv/5dyn ... Now it is not OEM, and it might be too expensive, and does not scale to lower RPM speeds ( resulting in faster battery depletion when idling ). But it tells me it is 5 times faster than traditional 5400RPM HDD's ( like the one you have now ) ( probably only the SSD part of the esemble ) which means that windows will be up and ready a hell of a lot faster
-
@critialcloudkicker Boot times aren't a big issue for me on this current laptop, since I'm usually letting it boot as I wake up and having it ready when I get back to it. My current concerns are price and reliability, since if I have to spend too much it'd be better to just get a new laptop and have better hardware elsewhere.

!coderponies Mucking around with Linux Mint and creating a LAMP server. Any ideas for what to do with it?
Sunday, 05-Oct-14 16:14:58 UTC from web-
@vt3c @scriboos @redenchilada @caret7 @techdisk Good ideas, everyone. I would probably do something really cool, were it not for a few things: 1) I'm broke, so I can't pay for hosting 2) As with most of the Linux I muck around with, it wasn't on for very long before I had to turn it off 3) Even if I could keep reasonable uptime, my parents are REALLY stingy about me opening ports on our router (risk of hackers and all that jazz), so that would be possible only if everyone was at my house.
-
@twilisparkle45 Well, why run a LAMP server and then not do anything web-related with it? :V
-
@twilisparkle45 I mean, you could set up a copy of the RDN source on it if you felt like contributing to that, or something of the sort, but otherwise...

Well, guess I misinterpreted my teacher, because we're still working in Scratch. Whatever. !coderponies We worked on creating custom variables today and only after creating four separate blocks for four separate walking directions did I realize that I could have just created a single block and made the character face a different direction with a different keystroke.

@mrmattimation Scratch is OK for simpler stuff. Last year, there was a Science Olympiad trial event (not official event, but to see if it might become one the next year, which it didn't D:) for it where you had to build a game with it onsite with a certain judge-announced theme.
