Hi Eric, you're totally cool and not fat at all.

I've been working on a Team Fortress 2 market analyzer these holidays. The idea was that it would scrape tf2outpost (and later maybe tf2tp and other fora), determine the market price of items and then notify me of advantageous trades.

The scraping works fine, but the non-negative linear least squares solution gives wrong values (compared to tf2spreadsheet), even after trying to adjust for markup. I think the problem is that I have too little data (only ~2 times as many trades as items per day). The problem is parsing the free-form notes, since people often don't exactly offer the trade they put in.

This is the technology I used:
emacs
git
CouchDB
Python 2.7.2
Buildout
html5parser
lxml
scipy.optimize.nnls

Python is shit.

>>11
Lisp is fucking shit.

>>9
Iv seen some shit, but this is WTF!

what have you been working on this year, bros?
ruby

>>12
Lisp is fucking Python, and Python enjoys it.

Why won't people code in Python™ 3. It's much cleaner, and no more legacy obsolete ``backwards compatible'' bullshit is holding back the wonderful Python™ Enterprise Quality Technology.

>>10 neat...

what does the data look like? // can you post a chunk? =)

coding a platformer game.
shit's dank, yo.

SO WHY IS THE /PROG/ MASCOT A SNAKE? ARE YOU ALL PYTHONISTAS OR SOMETHING? THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING.
