/prog/ - Daily Programming Exercise/Challenge

Name: Anonymous 2012-02-12 7:23

Write a program that takes any thread on 4chan as the first argument. Make the program return the number of replies in the thread, the number of image replies in the thread, the number of sage replies in the thread, and the top 10 most popular words in the thread.

Extra credit: Return the average time between posts in the thread and the age of the thread as well.

Extra credit #2: Intelligently let the user know if the thread became inactive for a period but then was revived, and for how long and when.

Boring. With ideas like those you won't amount to much.

age of the thread
That's the easiest part to do, since the time it was made is in the URL.

the number of image replies in the thread

This is coming from someone who doesn't have the mental capacity to even work as a computer programmer as a living. Ya know, it's one thing to call people names. It's an entirely different thing to be able to sit down and write code. Now shut up and go serve another customer you damn idiot.

By the way, I'm still not granting your sorry ass the first interview. Go away.

Shouldn't be too hard to do with a Scrapy script and some python. The hard part is getting the data out of the raw HTML.

NEW PROGRAMMING CHALLENGE:

MAKE A TROLL BOT THAT DYNAMICALLY RESPONDS TO PEOPLE WHO REPLY TO IT WITH A RELATED ARGUEMENT

-1.)MUST MEASURE THE ANGER OF THE RESPONSE AND USE ALPHA-BETA PRUNING TO ELIMINATE

-2.) MUST BE ABLE TO PARSE REPLIES AND DETERMINE IF IT IS BEING TROLLED, IF IT IS IT SHOULD EVALUATE TROLL VALUE AND PLACE IT IN TROLL TREE ACCORDINGLY

You know... that's not a bad idea. If the imageboards didn't have captcha we could deploy on them to troll them 24/7

trolling might be easy, in that it usually consists of short responses that nudge the reader to higher levels of anger, but to do it effectively requires some intelligence, and some knowledge about what will be offensive, and to whom.

lets see:

user post history -> inferred information about target user -> statements that are highly offensive to users with such information -> short one liner generator.

The sad thing is you wear the fact that you can code as proof that you're somehow intelligent. The truth being: coding is easy. Anyone can do it, the term "code monkey" comes from this fact.

In reality this profession or hobby is picked up by people who are idiots. They suck at almost everything including socializing. So whenever they try explain programming to someone else, simple though it may be, it comes off as sounding complicated. Thus further propagating the myth that programming is somehow hard and you need to be very smart to do it.

Additionally, due to people like you pretending it is hard, this further reinforces the myth. Perhaps you do so because your perceived intelligence is all you have. Too bad programming is even more trivial than mathematics and could be taught to a 12 year old.

So you are saying that going out and killing 6 million Jews is better than fantasising about writing a useful program in Lisp some day?

No. It's just the idea holds weight. There's nothing said about being better.

No, that was one of the first things that was scrapped mechanically. Once you unlock a class you can grind it for as long as you want.
