#7 CPU without Ivy Bridge similar to Intel i7-3770? in Hardware
Screwballbleghfarec If it's not compatible with Ivy Bridge, then it sure as hell isn't going to be compatible with Sandy Bridge,Not necessarily. A lot of cheap shitty motherboards and OEM PCs never got a bios update to support it.

Or even if they did get a BIOS update, you could still buy stock which didn't support IB...

#13 Elo Hell in Esports
CitricSetsulCompletely random system gets you 50% winrate.Correct me if I'm mistaken, but is this really true? Take this example:

you are put in a match with 11 other players of truly random skill, and you are the worst player to ever play the game. Now, there are 6 players on the other team who could be any skill level and there are 5 players who on your team who could be any skill level, plus one who is guaranteed to be terrible.
With a big enough sample size, aren't you at a statistical disadvantage? Every time you go into a game, there is a higher likelihood of being the worse team than there is of being the better team, due to your own individual skill level. This would (again with a large enough sample size) mean you're likely to win fewer than 50% of your games.

And the opposite would be true for the best player in the history of the game.

I think he means to say that the expected winrate is 50%. You wouldn't believe that to actually be the true winrate for every player, especially over a "small" number of games.

#60 help me with my coding hw in Off Topic

I don't know C++, but here's a sketch of a pushdown automaton which accepts the language {xnx | x in English dictionary and 0 < n <= 26}

(it is a bona fide PDA since dictionaries are finite)

joshuawnYe11owSimKudos to anyone who can identify this language without googling it.

Delphi, right? Or Object Pascal, same thing. Never learn this language, kids. It's horrible.

close, but i'm pretty sure it's a modern variant of ALGOL due to its use of the mathematical arrow operator & the "if-fi" and "do-od" blocks which are indicative of Dijkstra's guarded commands. i don't believe OO variants of Pascal are written around GCL.

i've never tried coding with a language that supports guarded commands though; i just know it from my principles of programming course.

EDIT: haha, was doing some more research on CAS's for a pedagogical project & i came across GAP which shares the same syntax as this. is it GAP?

Well done, it is GAP.

technosexSimKudos to anyone who can identify this language without googling it.
lol if you search "ConvertToStringRep" this thread is on the front page of results

It can't be an obscure language, it's one of the syntax highlighting styles in gedit!

Please, my life is a Maple-free zone.

Kudos to anyone who can identify this language without googling it.

hangman := function()
  local answer, badguesses, guess, i, nrguesses, secret, stream;

  secret := "recitative";
  answer := List([1 .. Length(secret)], x -> '*');
  ConvertToStringRep(answer);
  nrguesses := 7;
  badguesses := 0;
  stream := InputTextUser();

  while badguesses < nrguesses do
    Print("Guess a letter: \c");
    guess := ReadLine(stream)[1];

    if guess in secret then
      Print("Good guess \n");
      for i in PositionsProperty(secret, x -> x = guess) do
        answer[i] := guess;
      od;

    else 
      Print("Bad guess \n");
      badguesses := badguesses + 1;
    fi;

    Print(answer, "\n");
    if answer = secret then
      Print("You win!");
      return;
    fi;
  od;

  Print("You failed miserably. The word was ", secret, ".");
  return;

#12 College Essays in Off Topic

Needs improvement, but not as much as I thought before you added the prompt. I don't fully understand the role of admission essays in the US, so I'll leave matters of content to others.

My main pieces of advice (not all prompted by your essays - don't take them too harshly) are:

  • Read your essay aloud to yourself. If at any point you sound like a pretentious asshole, get snipping. If at any point you run out of breath, rethink your punctuation.
  • Never use a thesaurus.
  • Don't fucking waffle. Nobody wants to read waffle.
  • Get a proofreader to point out bad style in your writing. It's very difficult to spot it yourself.

#8 Olympics Discussion Thread in Off Topic

I quite enjoy watching the Judo/Diving/Gymnastics, I'll probably try to tune into some of that. Badminton and tennis too if I'm not doing something else.
