And how do you call it if is Not structured nowadays?


Javascript.


spaghetti.


Because the master can even hit the seagull with his Slingshot, that the Corp. H.Q. will not say anything to make him angry and make him think about the others H.Q.s that exist and make him wonder the salary there.


Once I encountered this curious recursion:'

Here sounds infinite loop maybe, but it should finishing calling each other (a calling b that calls a that calls b again...infinite...)

But when there is a Top maximum Parent that is the top of the parent child pyramid (like a html Body "div", I mean, the one that contains all others") It should stop...well

def a

self.insert //something to make it child of the parent, like a html structure maybe

b //call the second method, the b method below

end

def b

self.insert //same here, same logic//

a //call the first method, the a method above

end

thisHtmlDiv.a //crazy example

So the subject on which you call the method will be added in all the hierarchy chain of the parent child pyramid.


This is called mutual recursion. Interpretors rely on it heavily.


Thank you very much , sincerely, jeromebaek. This is the real nice spirit of Hackernwes, and you are one of the heroes who help pass the good Knowledge. Thank you very much, buddy.

Cheers!


So , the maximum you can get from it is the console log text return of the script you paste there. right? Or you can glue your script with anything like webgl or canvas there to do anything?


WASM doesn't provide DOM access so you can't use anything useful on the web unless you callback through a bunch of JS.


I imagine that is some sort of intentional sandboxing? I didn't know about that and find myself surprised. In principal I'm not sure why it wouldn't be able to provide direct DOM access. I'd love to hear more background on this if you know it.



I see thank you very much :) cheers


I love this art of Patience of the Japanese. They love to spend a life time i to making a tiny wood doll or some little flower arrange...

I wonder its because is an Island and one gets inside himself or one just gets bored...

I am a fan of making bamboo and paper little planes , just to thorw them and destroy on the beach...

I found that using Smoking Paper is a good material haha

What I like is the making the fine bamboos longarinas and skeleton of the models. I like boats of bamboo too.


Because a clone is criminal. As long as I know. And is not only against the law, It is morally theft,

some people spent A Lot of money in design for some malicious smartass chinese guy to come and copy and sell by 10 times cheaper....This is Absurd. Some people are loosing their jobs , see , maybe me myself, i am loosing a job because of Falsification...

Besides, Is not really necessary, Come one, people should come out with their Own watch design right?

It should be not so hard to draw a sketch with a New design, right? Its not like painting the Davinci's Monalisa, right...

At least my opinion, like they say in the Good Wife Series.


> Because a clone is criminal. As long as I know. And is not only against the law, It is morally theft,

I just want to respond to this because we see a lot of the same comments in the software industry and I think it dilutes the meaning of the law to speak imprecisely.

If you make a watch and put a brand name on it for which you have no license, that is a trade mark infringement. It is illegal in most countries. It is not theft. Theft is where you take something that belongs to someone else, thereby depriving them of it. Infringement is where you use something that belongs to someone else, often without depriving them of it. They are different things, both legally and morally.

There are design patents, and I suspect that there are probably design patents for watches (although I've never looked). If you copy a design that is patented for which you have no license, you are infringing the patent. This is illegal in most parts of the world (but probably different parts of the world than trademark infringement). It is also infringement, not theft.

Fashion designs can not by copyrighted under most (all?) international treaties. If you make a watch that looks similar to another watch, but that does not infringe the trademark, nor infringe any design patents, then you are not infringing at all. It is neither illegal, nor immoral (IMHO anyway) to do this. However, it may be fraud if you try to pass it off as something it is not, which is illegal, of course.

Karl Lagerfeld, the famous designer had an interesting comment about look-a-like copies. When prompted in an interview (unfortunately I can't remember which programme it was on) for his opinion about people who buy knock bags he replied something to the effect of, "Those people are not my customers. None of my customers would buy those bags. Neither would customers who are happy with a knock off bag want to buy my bags. It makes no difference to me". As much as I realise that not everybody will have such an expansive point of view, I've always thought it to be an incredibly wise position to take in the fashion industry.


Note that trademark infringement can in some cases include the design of the watch (as tested in court with the AP Royal Oak):

If some 'smartass chinese' guy can provide the same thing for 1/10th the price, then clearly the original maker is overcharging.


It's easy to make cheap stuff when somebody else invested in the R&D and you just steal their designs.


LOL. The R&D is an insignificant part of the cost. The margins are just sky-high because it's a luxury market, and suckers will pay anything.


Richemont group has something like 16% margins.


What's the margin of the watch itself (factory, labor, etc vs cost) not their overall operating margins as a company?

And is that 16% margin due to "R&D" eating into them?

Or do they calculate their margins after hefty executive bonuses, lavish corporate offices, and other "expenses"? Not to mention that they also run all kind of boutique shops of their own and venture into various areas outside watches.


Undoubtedly the cost of manufacturing the watch is much less than the retail price. As is the case with most goods.


>Some people are loosing their jobs , see , maybe me myself, i am loosing a job because of Falsification...

Serves them right, since most of the "high end watch" industry is selling 10x overpriced items to rich show-offs and overpaying suckers.

I'm not talking one-of-a-kind, manually crafted pieces with valuable materials here. I'm talking even the "low end" 2-10K watches, with BS generic mechanisms, and costing nowhere near that to make.


>Some people are loosing their jobs , see , maybe me myself, i am loosing a job because of Falsification...

Who exactly is losing their job because of fake watches? I do not believe that you will be able to present any convincing evidence that replica watches are actually hurting the sales of genuine watches.

>Lot of money in design for some malicious smartass chinese guy to come and copy and sell by 10 times cheaper

What do you think about homage watches? Most people don't seem to have a problem with those, the guy in the youtube video specifically says homage watches are OK.

If you aren't familiar with homage watches, look at this: http://i56.tinypic.com/k4hug1.jpg


One someones buy a fake watch, he is not buying the real one, so is there a win-win to everybody here? who is the owner of the design?

man...if you were an inventor , and spend time inventing something nice, them you don't make money out of it, would you like that?


>One someones buy a fake watch, he is not buying the real one, so is there a win-win to everybody here?

I would think that this is extremely uncommon. I think the following scenario is more likely:

"X buys fake watch, X likes fake watch, X buys the real watch"

>who is the owner of the design?

The whole fake/not-fake thing usually has very little to do with the actual design of the watch, but the branding.


You're wrong, they infiltrate the supply chain, and catch unsuspecting consumers trying to buy the real thing. There are fakes all over chrono24, fake SARB017's recently found on Amazon, and there are a ton of fake Casio F-91W's.


  "X buys fake watch, X likes fake watch, X buys the real watch"
This explains all those people you see wearing two watches.


These shoes/equips remember me some Genetic Algorithm Simulations of "Kangaroos" , some of them had only 1 leg, some had 2, They were made to fuel prototypes of hardware robots that run like a chicken or jump like a Kangaroo.

These robots were scary Impressive! And run Scary fast. And Jump some mortal loops and flip-flops and stuff.

This was 25 years ago now. 25 years!

Therefore... those bionic Dogs from google or darpa , whoever, were supposed to be a normal thing 20 years ago, If someone back then let himself be taken by the Hype, and by 2020 everyone should be wearing Exo-Skeletons like the iron-man.


a curious bit, if you don't skip the world "online" in the next sentence, quoted from her dissertation:

<< 180 minutes of naturalistic observation, collection of 72 online artifacts >>

She talks about game artifacts. Collected in a game field trip, is a fun idea, I have to say.

Runescape, the online RPG lots of kids play have a complex Economy, if you analise, and interesting phenomenons occur.

(using "s" for latin plural, lets evolve English a bit)

idea for a game: The Charles Darwin of 2099, collect frozen shrimp on Europa, the moon.


>using "s" for latin plural, lets evolve English a bit

...collection of LXXII artifactorum...

Perhaps off topic from the paper but it's clear there is at least one category of game that gives the user a particular world view.

People who have played Civilization have a very distinctive view of world history and social forces generally. I'm sure Sid Meyer was just maximizing fun and it's certainly not propagandist. But maybe it shows that abuse is theoretically possible. (Although it's hard to think historical simulations have audiences big enough worth targeting.)


Oh my god , that was funny man... Don't know why remembered me the good short Lannister. He is a master of humor, I have to say. I imagined him saying "artifactorum"

But maybe I was wrong, phenomenons or phenomena, this probably greek and not latin, but with "s" is easier :D


My brain finally remembered. I preferred to not look search engine , otherwise my brain get used of never remembering things.

But finally remembered. His name is Peter Dinklage, Master of smart intelligent humor. A GrandMaster or even GreatMaster, actually.


Runescape has a pretty old player-base at this point, mostly because the only people who play it any more are people who played it when they were younger


I want until the topic is dead to confess I was too overly old to play already when the player base was all most kids. haha

So, even for today standards, I would be the oldest there. But they banned my acc by mistake and I never cheated so I never will play anymore, i mean, only after I buy the company if I feel inclined and fire whoever the inconpetent who banned my acc.

Really never never cheated...All hand-made sweat Grinding...Its was unfair and very saddening.

But will never write email

will fire :D just joking. but no email.

Cheers, friend!


"light will go red and a machine operator will come an poke it for a bit until it works again"

This was exactly what I remember, and literally the guy will take a tool that is not a hammer, a screw-wrench, and hit the shit out of the machine like it was a hammer, and then loose some screw, and then bang-bang again, and then tighten some other screw...

Even the young, like 26 y.o. guy , from faraway Sichuan Province thats works doing this will receive a respectul title...

... and will be called a "Gong" (engineer) For example, if the guy's name is Zhao, he will be called with respect even by the bilionaire owner of the factory with the name and title: "Zhao Gong".

Some old Eletric/industrial design like 66 years old are making good bucks still kicking, no one is at Key West drinking margheritas...


"began to stop"

This one is indeed lovely. Ceos....
