RE: Ignorance in science

I also want to add that I refuse to use the imaginary numbers -- because they simply don't exist! They are imaginary, aren't they? So all the differential equations, complex functions and all others are just bunch of crap!

RE: RE: Code Generation?

hmm my explanation is not very clear so I posted more info with some example on Artima: http://www.artima.com/forums/flat.jsp?forum=106&thread=152273#197859 See it rephrazed. You have DataMapper code which does the job. Now some data...

RE: Zopa

I guess it's something like Polish http://www.arse.pl. But what you actually think of is not зопа, it's жопа, isn't it? :-P By the way, I don't really know Russian. I was taught Russian in the elementary school, but I've never...

Long Thread or Short Message

This point is interesting. I may change presentation algorithm in a future. But what I'm thinking about more is - discussion groups (tag groups) and message bookmarking. Actually Blogoforum can change presentation algo based on what...

Which design you would like?

Thanks Automatthias for talking about this. Please point on some designs you liked. But anyway, there is still a lot of work for art designer and smart HTML composer.

RE: Optimize Gamer PC Performance

For AMD 64 you may wish to get a 64-bit Linux distribution! And if you're crazy, you can try Gentoo and compile everything optimized right for your processor.

RE: Edit and Long Thread Problem

I'll be the devil's advocate here, OK? :-) You can look at it as a matter of grouping messages. You can group messages into large groups -- long threads. Or you can make only short groups of 3-5 messages, just like now in Blogoforum. So...

RE: Blogoforum is looking for UI / Web Designer

Why don't you take an open-source, readily available design from OSWD? I've recently browsed the gallery and some of them are breathtaking.

RE: To JSF Or Not To JSF

I find it interesting that you don't use any framework here, as the frameworks can save a LOT of time. And if you write your own software from scratch, if you do it properly, you end up with something similar to a framework anyway.

Tag Cloud Makeup Thanks to Automatthias

Now that was valuable! I slightly modified the formula to take in account min of values like int((pmax - pmin) * (log(x - vmin)) / (log(vmax - vmin)) + pmin) and filter out situations like log(0) and log(1) . Take a look at...

RE: Tag Cloud Makeup Continued

I have to write it for you, because I haven't read it anywhere, I just constructed the equation myself. Here you go: Let's say you want your your tags in sizes from 1 to 10, according to their counts. I'll use pseudocode here. You...

Tag Cloud Makeup

Some people complained the home page tag cloud became unmanageable big. I gave it small make up and now home page cloud shows only popular tags. All tags cloud is also available.

RE: Code Generation?

I think you might be missing the point of code generation. You don't write a code generator to get a job done... you write it to get a job done MANY TIMES. If you are able to write code that does something and does it well, why not write...

RE: Tag Cloud Makeup

What I dislike about current tagclouds is that there is ONE HUGE TAG, and 90% of the remainig tags are very small. It looks like the cloud is 90% trash. I suggest: - Filtering out the least frequent tags - Applying a logarightm...
