HackyHour[3] on 2016-01-27

[iimog]

Discussion is open.

Some suggestions:

• rosalind challenges
• julia vs R
• python basics
• how to set up an own server
• jupyther
• website improvements

[nterhoeven]

perl > python ;-)

[malvikasharan]

I think Jupyter notebook is a good choice :)

[GalacticAC]

I would like to learn how to set up my own server.

[CodingCthulhu]

As I mentioned previously, I'd like to improve my FIJI macro scripts. I'm using Jython right now but it'd be nice to get a little familiarity with JAVA. Also I'm up for PERL if anyone else is interested.
But must warn you, I know absolutely fish-all about PERL.

[WhimiscalHatter]

For me, I'm game for Python basics or PERL

But, any other topic is also fine for me :-)

[GalacticAC]

WebServer! :-D Something to finally make use of my 20TB storage capacity at
home! :-D (Needless to say I want it to have a good security too!)

Alright @GalacticAC, I'm looking forward to discuss setting up a server with you. With a little luck @greatfireball will join us, he has a lot of experience in this area. As far as I see, this topic might not be of broader interest to other participants so we can start with another topic. My suggestion is a general discussion about programming languages, which one to choose, how to get started, pitfalls...
Then we can have a little hands on in python, perl, java or any other language (how about Shakespeare, Whitespace or Brainf**k) 😃

Is anyone unhappy with this solution.

[GalacticAC]

Thx iimog! I am looking forward to this sideproject. Shall we meet maybe before/after or at another day for this and I bring a six-pack of club-mate? (Or beer,...)

Regarding Programing: I would suggest "R" since it is a programing language, I can use it, it is free and it can also do statistics. Otherwise I am happy with anything you can teach us!

[CodingCthulhu]

Cool!!! Could we try Brainf--k? or Ook?!

You seriously wanne program in something like brainfuck? Okay, way not...it looks unnecessarly convoluted, but hey...incrementing one number at a time....sounds like making a pocket calculator in this language is a hell lot harder then in any other language I ever tried!

[GalacticAC]

on the otherhand...i could probably as easily write a program which can add these commands after each other and see if it is viable program! Anyone having a Turing-Oracle at hand? :-D

[GalacticAC]

Hahah....what about this one here: https://esolangs.org/wiki/DNA-Sharp

[iimog]

Nice! Lets see what we can learn from each other. Concerning your server: an extra session with mate or beer sounds also very good.

[iimog]

Nice meeting yesterday, we had

• discussion about setting up a raspberry pi with owncloud
• coding challenge (smallest common multiple), solved in R and perl
• general discussions about programming languages, hacking and quantum computers

[GalacticAC]

For all of you who are interested, I would like to upload my "R" code for this challange and pose another one too. Can I do this somewhere here?

Last time we had to find the smallest commone multiple of numbers within the range of 1 to 9 (spelled 1:9 in "R" :-D). My challange would be two fold:

1. Write a script which will give back the smallest common multiple of any other given list of numbers (like 1:20 or 5:12 or n:m).
2. Write a script which will do what we did last time with reducing requirments: if you have a list like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, you do not actually check 2, 3, 4 and 6 for that matter, because they are already contained in the 8 and 9, since primes are never multiples (zitation needed), you would also need those too. Case in point: if you are give a list like 1:30, 5:20 or n:m, could you find a script which will reduce the list to only those numbers you absolutly need to check? in case of 1:30 for example, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 need to go too!

Edit: Bought my first rasberry pi 2, but couldnt find the rasberry zero...they all sold them or demand 20+ euros for it!

[iimog]

Sure, feel free to upload your file into this directory:
https://github.com/HackyHour/Wuerzburg/tree/master/files/HackyHour_03

You could also edit the README.md file to contain the description of the challenge and your new challenges.

[GalacticAC]

Perfect! Will do so this weekend!

Meanwhile:

[GalacticAC]

The Rasberry Zero is completly sold out....they can not produce them fast enough!

[EzioAuditoredaFirenze]

@GalacticAC That's great! 👍
I just wanted to point out that it looks more like the Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+ than the Pi 2. But I guess that it should be more than enough for our needs. However, if you paid as much as a Pi 2, you might want to check out the listing ;)

I'm really looking forward to the next hackyhour 😀

[GalacticAC]

yes, I saw that for 6 euros more you can gtet the Rasberry Pi 2, but I think the B+ will be enough for our purposes. I also bought 2 new micro SD cards (16gb) of class 10. I noticed that my class 4 is making the OS (Noob) very slugish!

As such, I would recommend that anyone who wants to try out an OS should bring a prepared micro SD, cause the process of setting it up took some time. We might set up a number of them and simply swap cards.

@iimog: could you bring a suitable OS for the OwnCloud server? It can be as small as possible, as long as we can work easily with it. I think the destok surface is causing the system to be very small, so one with a command line interface might be better!

[EzioAuditoredaFirenze]

@GalacticAC Sounds like a great idea. 👍

I would suggest that we continue our discussion in the thread created by @iimog for our next meeting, since this discussion has been tagged as closed and others may not be following it 😉
