| twayneprice | morning tenc | 13:04 |
| tenc | ^^ morning, happy Friday. | 13:05 |
| tenc | http://toys.usvsth3m.com/binary/ | 13:05 |
| twayneprice | tenc: I made it through the first level. :) | 13:08 |
| tenc | Nice! <g> | 13:08 |
| twayneprice | Level 10 got me pretty quick, though. :) | 13:10 |
| twayneprice | There are only 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary and those who don't. :) | 13:10 |
| tenc | Yeah the whole time I felt like I was playing Russian roulette. Not quite enough time to feel super confident about my answers. | 13:11 |
| tenc | Classic. ^^ | 13:11 |
| twayneprice | Yea I was trying to go by "feel" instead of actually trying to do the math. | 13:12 |
| twayneprice | Woo hoo! Level 100! | 13:15 |
| tenc | Grats! And right? Kind of like Neo in the matrix. :D | 13:22 |
| twayneprice | I thought I saw a woman in a red dress. :) | 13:25 |
| tenc | They made another one for JavaScript that was fun too http://toys.usvsth3m.com/javascript-under-pressure/ | 13:31 |
| tenc | "At Comcast, we recognize that our customers use the Internet for different reasons and have unique data needs. As a reminder, starting October 1, 2013, Comcast will trial a new monthly data plan in this area, which will increase the amount of data included in your XFINITY Internet Service to 300 Gigabytes (GB) and provide more choice and flexibility." | 14:03 |
| tenc | Blergh. | 14:04 |
| twayneprice | tenc: 28 minutes 15 seconds for all 5 levels. :) It says I CAN javascript under pressure. :) | 14:11 |
| twayneprice | tenc: Did you have a data cap before? | 14:12 |
| tenc | No, they tried to introduce one last year but there was so much resistance they scrapped it but now I guess they're bringing it back. | 14:14 |
| twayneprice | So you are being INCREASED from unlimited to 300GB? :) | 14:16 |
| tenc | And nice work on the js! I spent an embarrassing amount of time on #5. Had to reach back to college. | 14:17 |
| tenc | Yeah, EXACTLY, I care about as much for Comcast as I do for Verizon and they both talk like that. | 14:17 |
| tenc | Like I don't understand anything. | 14:17 |
| twayneprice | #5 definitely was a tricky one. And the one with arrays mixed in with the string messed with me too. | 14:19 |
| tenc | Like someone else said: if you're writing functions that have an input domain like that you probably have other problems to address. ;) | 14:21 |
| twayneprice | Exactly! :) | 14:22 |
| tenc | The other thing I thought was interesting in this thread I was reading about it is how many people came up with non-recursive solutions for #5. | 14:24 |
| tenc | Mostly just because I didn't even consider trying something linear. The problem just screams recursion to me. | 14:26 |
| twayneprice | Yea, I not sure how I would do it without recursion unless you just hard coded x number of levels. | 14:28 |
| tenc | The other other thing that surprised me was how many people went straight to regex as soon as strings got involved. | 14:33 |
| twayneprice | "Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems." Jamie Zawinski | 14:37 |
| twayneprice | :) | 14:37 |
| tenc | Love that quote. :D | 14:39 |
| twayneprice | I try to use regex as little as possible. And I ALWAYS have to to look it up on google. :) | 14:41 |
| tenc | Yep! <g> | 14:44 |
| twayneprice | tenc: Are you a programmer? What do you normally use? | 14:47 |
| tenc | twayneprice: Yeah, you? What do you mean? Language-wise? | 14:49 |
| twayneprice | I'm officially the Network Admin but I was a programmer in a previous life. Yea, language-wise. | 14:51 |
| tenc | Our shop uses IBM/Informix in the back, ColdFusion on the web and a mix of Delphi, C# and Java everywhere else. | 14:56 |
| tenc | I've been on every end of that but right now most of my work is web-side. | 14:58 |
| tenc | I know a lot of NAs that started out as programmers. In fact I'm not sure I know any NAs that started out that way, come to think of it. :) | 15:00 |
| twayneprice | Interesting. I used to use Clarion (similar to Delphi). I've dabbled in Java, python, C#, VB, Javascript | 15:17 |
