so i want to create an idiot spare time project that will end up being a database of questions and answers. the tricky part will be entering all the data, i was thinking i could process the data out of the files but they are all word docs with wildly different formats.

couple of questions for you smart folks... what is my best option for the database? i was thinking postgres just because it is free and seems the most stable of the open source databases.

second other than hand processing the question/answer files manually what do you think my best option is here? i could tag the questions and answers perhaps and then process them but that is almost the same as just doing it manually. would something like nlp possibly be able to solve this? separate questions from answers?

maybe i should post this in the terrible programmer safe zone, hmm.

well you raelly need to clarify where the questions and answers are coming from. you keep mentioning files but i have no idea what the files are or how they're formatted

if you just want a database then any old sql thing will work. postgres is the 'best' open source free sql but if it's just a dumb free time project sqllite or mysql3 will be fine.

what do you want to be able to do with the data once it's in the database? like a question is going to be a string which is going to make it pretty hard to search for, if you're trying to get the answer to a question but you dont necessarily have the question. if you want to be able to easily search questions, look at elasticsearch.

i wanted to try out d3js, but then found c3js and got sidetracked. i have at the minute a script that scrapes the data i need, sends it to my web server to store it, the github page then retrieves it and plugs it into the visualisatio http://valeyard.github.io/ ,ive got a few things to do before im done messing around with that

so at the moment i just need to hit 1 button to refresh the stats, which is good

im gonna change the chart so it shows all the main forums, and then when you click each slice of the pie it opens up a secondary chart with the stats for that forum. so click on gbs and it brings up a new chart showing the distribution of people in gbs/front page discussion/EN

i'm not really sure waht this graph is showing since it isnt labeled but i'm pretty sure that i can infer from it that games is the 1st largest forum and dandd is the 4th.

i'm not sure which one i find more distrubing

wait where the heck is yospos??

visit the site again (do a ctrl+f5 refresh just in case) and then click on any of the slices

the numbers are messed up and not properly representative at the moment

the first main pie shows just the viewers in each of the top level forums

then you click each one and it shows a comparison of, for example, the users in SHSC vs YOSPOS vs Tech Support vs COBOL (although COBOL is hosed up because its the only subforum that has another subforum of its own)

well ithink it isvery hosed up that klavern of cobol is listed as its own forum!!!

Do the markov chain one but also include the entire song of Ice and fire

Ok here's my idiot spare time project:

1. Use ffmpeg or learn some image processing and automate the creation of new "it's free real estate" gifs with proper bottom text that doesn't look crappy
2. Register "itsafree.house"
3. Turn it into a web service and puts ads on it
4. Spread the word.

I'm going to wait until I finish step 1 before doing step 2 because step 2 costs $30 dollars. Nobody steal that domain please.

FFmpeg isn't all that difficult to code with for simple stuff--I wrote something to put googly eyes onto videos with it and that took like an afternoon. FFmpeg isn't exactly great for generating gifs, though so I just didn't bother with that.

yeah i've actually worked with it quite a bit on the command line -- i got started with programming when i worked in a tv post house and automated a lot of stuff with ffmpeg. it's pretty cool. adding the text wont be hard.

will probably use something else to make the gif tho.

Command line was my first notion, but stringing together all the options into a big ugly monster of flags and pipes and all that pokes at what little aesthetic sense I have so I just threw something together in Qt.

Yeah I'm really tempted to import it as a library and do it right. Make the whole thing in rust or c++.

But also trying not to overengineer my meme generator.

e: otoh i could stupid overengineer it and put it in my portfolio.

libav (ffmpeg’s core library) is like 100% undocumented. it’s taken an entire day of reading the ffmpeg source to piece together something that takes my source mp4 and outputs a broken gif.

im the guy that made the original "its free software" gif

i made it real quickly which is why it kinda looked like poo poo and i never expected it would catch on in anyway or i would have done it a bit better

anyway i like your project

nice! you wouldn't happen to know if a high quality version of the original is out there, do you? I just ripped it from youtube and it's not great but also it's tim and eric so it's supposed to be a little bad.

any idea what font you used?


I'm gonna stick this on my resume so I'm optimizing the poo poo out of it:
- it's a rust 'microservice' running tokio that listens on a socket and takes an input payload from the basically static frontend.
- added the missing push/pull encoding interface to the rust libav (ffmpeg) library and wrapped it in futures
- since my input is always the same, in theory i should be able to load it once and share the underlying data buffer between encoding workers, but the libav constructs are very stateful and might not allow this.
currently each worker reads in the input once upon initialization and seeks back to the beginning at the start of an encode, which is honestly good enough so I'll likely leave it there.


it's going to be the fastest and most efficient meme generator ever.
