Actually, it’s 5 4 10 12 2 9 8 11 6 7 3 1 for me, but too lazy to edit the image
5 4 10 2 12 9 6 7 8 11 3 1
Thanks, i hate it :)
I recently found out that javascript’s .sort() function, when called without arguments on an array of numbers, converts them all to strings and sorts them alphabetically 🤡
I’m a C programmer. My first time writing Javascript and ran into some sort of bug involving a === sign or something. Javascript is a silly language.
console.log("10"+1); // "101" console.log("10"-1); // 9The epitomy of irony is a JavaScript developer insisting that some other language is “a fractal of bad design” without immediately acknowledging that JS is weird as hell.
Javascript lets you compare unlike types without extra steps using ==. If you want strict comparison where “2” isn’t 2, use === and !==. Personally, I find that easier than having to parseint or cast every damn thing or whatever c does (strtol?). That said, I have build tools set up to enforce strict comparison because I don’t trust myself or others.
Truish and falsish and nullish are all concepts made up by madmen. JavaScript is the language of the damned.
Which language provides the most random alphabetically sorted sequence?

Plot with Pearson Score
Code
gnuplot -p -e ' set xlabel "Base Sequence"; set ylabel "Alphabetic"; set xtics 1,1,12; set ytics 1,1,12; set title "Alphabetic Number Plot with Correlation Score"; set key outside left; set size ratio 0.45; stats "alphabetic.tab" using 1:2 name "E"; stats "" using 1:3 name "D"; stats "" using 1:4 name "G"; stats "" using 1:5 name "T"; stats "" using 1:6 name "L"; plot "" using 1:2 with lines title sprintf("%s (%.3f)", columnhead(2), E_correlation), "" using 1:3 with lines title sprintf("%s (%.3f)", columnhead(3), D_correlation), "" using 1:4 with lines title sprintf("%s (%.3f)", columnhead(4), G_correlation), "" using 1:5 with lines title sprintf("%s (%.3f)", columnhead(5), T_correlation), "" using 1:6 with lines title sprintf("%s (%.3f)", columnhead(6), L_correlation) '
It looks like the most random language is Dutch (closest to zero), and Turkish appears to be the least random (probably the 10,11,12 sequence skewed it).
Although Lexicographic also appears to have a near zero score, despite being the most ordered. I think Pearson is a bad measure here, and maybe a Serial Correlation test might be better.
You put a lot of work into this.
This is the second comment I’ve seen like this from you.
Please never stop.
Thank you for doing and sharing this
I didn’t expect soneone to put that much effort into it.
Thanks! This is awesome!

Interestingly it would be right twice a day
I’d think four times: 4:20, 4:35, 7:20, 7:35
I’m stupid and read the clock wrong and didn’t check even a little.
You’ll fit in here just fine!
Acht, drie, een, elf, negen, tien, twaalf, twee, vier, vijf, zes, zeven.
8, 3, 1, 11, 9, 10, 12, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7
I don’t even know 100% that this is Dutch, but Dutch so often reads and sounds like someone German who doesn’t know English trying to speak English and I love the language because of it ❤️
Dutch is an Anglo-Saxon language so that makes sense.
Standard Dutch is not Anglo-Saxon but some other Dutch dialects/languages like Frisian are.
Acht, drei, eins, elf, fünf, neun, sechs, sieben, vier, zehn, zwei, zwölf
8, 3, 1, 11, 5, 9, 6, 7, 4, 10, 2, 12
Ah there it is. The real language, not the one a confused toddler trying to learn German speaks

I still don’t understand how acht=12
acht=12
Gesundheit.
Ah no I started at one. You can transpose my list by one and set zeven as 12.
Okay, here’s the challenge: Make it always tell the correct time 8:30 should point to the 8 with the little hand and the 6 with the big hand. And 8:35 shoudl point to the 7 with the big hand.
Was thinking the same thing. This has to be possible, within reason of course
I could get it done with a couple stepper motors, an Arduino, probably a couple hall effect sensors.
In that case, I am officially challenging you. But if you do end up doing it. My instance is shutting down on Monday, so you won’t be able to tag me :(
Make an account elsewhere and comment on this post.
Challenge accepted.
I both love and hate this
Ah yes its nearly 8:03 o’clock
Or nearly 56 minutes to 11:08
If a mechanical clock or watch was like that it would be one hell of a fascinating movement

It’s 9 o’clock somewhere!
What time is it?
It’s Beer O’clock!I hate this so much
