Deanonymizing /prog/

Easy really... there's only four people using /prog/ so the only task is to find out who writes what posts.

Start by scraping /prog/, create a 24H timeline and put a marker on every moment there's been a post. You'll see clusters of posts close together, these were made by the same poster. This is because most /pro/grammers tend to write multiple posts every time they load up /prog/.

Now that we have clusters of messages all we really need to do is run a bayesian classifier on them. First train it to recognize messages within the same cluster, then spread it out to include all of them. Done. You can name clusters and new messages can be tagged with that name (or none if none match (yet)).

So yeah, anonimity is dead.

BTW this took me two hours in Haskell + another couple hours to write the userscript that tags posts. I'd like to see the low level primates barge in here and say GC sucks: fuck off and go write me a device driver so I can do the *actual* work you fucking plumbers.

The actual work of writing a flashgames for an iPhone, no doubt. Any monkey can write a high-level program after the elements have been laid for them.
Signed, your electrical engineer.

So whats the results>

The program tells us you are FrozenVoid! Remarkable!!!

Now write a program to identify the ethnicity of each poster. We'll get rid of those Jews once and for all.

Back to /newpol/, please.

A program that doesn't have PAY button, that doesn't earn money directly from the consumer, is not the end product.

Everything that is done before the consumer pays is easily categorized as either laying the groundwork, learning or procrastinating. It is only after these things are done, that a true man can stand up and write a program that earns him money. A program that provides him and his wife/children the means to survive.

If you can't understand that you should go and ask your BOSS about it.

You don't say anything that goes against what I stated. Just know that those little pieces of firmware you write are incredibly simple, and that the engineers had done the actual thinking beforehands.

match this: fuck you faggot.

I think this is an interesting idea.  The results would be dubious, though.

I've done the same thing in the past, manually, just by scrolling down and looking at the post times.

You should use training data from other forum sites where everyone has a user account and where all of the threads from years ago are all saved, and download a ton of them over a period of time. It is a pretty large labeled, and free data set. You may be able to identify posters by a simple word frequency table. People tend to use certain words a lot I think.

>>1  is eerily silent on his results.
He saw something he didn't like i assume..

Denanomyzing an anonymous message board is immoral, and possibly blasphemous.
And you won't get accurate results like that.
