8/18 Hey dim why did you switch your motd edit command? Do you actually
think you can hide from editting motd? I can read OS logs ya know.
\_ Who are you? I'm wondering who would sorry someone
for reading the logs to figure out who "anonymous" comments
were written by. --PeterM
\_ The issue is that this cowardly fuck has a process which
automatically deletes anything I write using motdedit. It's
not about reading the logs, but about censorship and
harassment. This isn't some running feud, but a moron who is
obsessed with me. --dim
\_ tell us about the stars dim!
\_ I agree that having a process which automatically deletes
someone else's motd posts is squishable. --PeterM
\_ unless that someone is a complete moronic troller
\_ No, you still can't auto edit a troller. Don't be
a twink.
\- ethics aside, why can't a motd terrorist
terrorize motd? what method do we have to
reliabily detect an act of terrorism, and
what can we do about it? how is deleting troll
worse than adding trolls? who are you to judge
troll or content? these questions beg deeper
discussions that has yet to begun.
\_ I thought current policy disallowed auto-
posters as well as auto-deleters?
\_ The politburo currently does not posses
much awareness of the motd, but all users
on soda have consented to abide by don't be
a hozer guidelines. Should anyone step
far enough outside the hozing boundaries
I will lobby them for the ability to squish.

\_ Auto-deletion directly denies access
to the motd and thus prevents the free
exchange of ideas that is necessary for
a "marketplace of ideas" to function.
Auto-posting doesn't directly deny access,
and while it may drive people away from
the motd, the motd still remains accessible.
Thus, I think that auto-deletion, in which
you don't know what you lost, is a much
worse form of terrorist, than auto-posting,
which only makes it harder to find things.
Personally, I think both auto-posting and
auto-deletion need to be controlled for
the motd to function effectively.
\_ Fuck off. You are dangerously close to getting sorried.
\_ how are you determining if dim is editing the motd? I edit the motd
ALL THE TIME and no one has picked up my username(yet)
\_ That's what I want to know. Why is this some secret? Are these
OS logs world-readable? Please educate us in the name of Computer
Science.

same with your other political trolls

8/18 so i have a bunch of tabs open in one firefox window. i have a bunch
of tabs open in another firefox window. how do i combine them all
into one window ?
\_ Why would anyone use tabs? I don't use tabs, and I don't
understand why anyone else would either. -dim #1 fan
\_ Install the Duplicate Tab plugin, and hit Ctrl-Shift-M.

8/18 How long has the command "seq" been around? I just saw it in
one of my coworkers shell scripts and wish I had known about it
years ago...
\_ what does it do? - bash fan #1
\_ It prints out a sequence of numbers from FIRST to LAST in
a specified increment.
\_ in bash (taken from ksh, I believe), that's
for ((i=0;i<10;i++)); do echo $i ; done
\_ soda:~% seq --version
seq (GNU coreutils) 5.97

\_ seq shreads. I use the -w option for naming nodes in a script
for a linux cluster: for i in $(seq -w 1 200); do echo n$i; done
will give you node001-node200 |

8/17 now i know how to cure a snakebitee with enormous breasts
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0lKpX_Htbc
\_ That was lame. Of course you get them to the hospital ASAP,
I thought the question was, "if you can't get them to a hospital
soon?" |

8/18 I have a buddy who figures he's gonna put togther the next big thing
in Web 2.0. He's particularly interested in rating algorithms based
on user input/voting. In other words, if users 1 and 2 both rate
a giving movie highly, does user 1's opinion on a different movie
mean to user 2? (Just an example, I don't think he's interested in
movies.) Can anyone point to any literature on the subject, or would
anyone like to chat with him about it? (Or even work with him on it,
if you have time. I don't.) Thanks. -jrleek
\- some of this turns on whether you are doing "revealed
preference" [say what you actually buy from AMAZONG or rent
from Nflix] or if it is a voting system, in which case one
must look at the great arrow impossibility theorem. the first
is more of a pure stat problem, and the second depends on a
lot of details about incentives, the exact design of the
system etc. you know, somebody sends me a question like this
every 2-3yrs for the past 10yrs at least. another approach is
not no use generic statistical correlation techniques but to
do a domain-speific analysis/modelling ... which is what i
believe those pandora people do. |
