after god came programmers

This post is in protest of all the people who think programmers are a bunch of idiots.

A computer was invented for the sole reason of eliminating the redundance of human tasks. It is a machine that imitates the human mind and action. In a way, it can be considered to be a mirror of the human mind. Yes i agree that in certain ways, all objects man-made are reflections of the human mind, but only the computer comes close to imitating it in such totality, without complying with the natural laws of nature.

It is a presentation instrument; where thoughts are brought into reality. If a train of thoughts can be traced precisely, outlined concisely. It can be made into a program. It will do only that work, until taught to do something else, but will do it at a fraction of the cost and with near 100% accuracy. Also no allowances, strikes, overtime and productivity issues. Just a little bit of dusting and maintaining the flow of raw materials and electricity.

This means that all, and i mean all, professionals in all fields of mass production are expendable.

So next time, remember, programmers are a serious lot because programming is very, very serious business.

Wicktionary Bookmarklet

A bookmarklet is defined by Wictionary as "A small piece of JavaScript code stored as a URL within a bookmark". I have been using bookmarklets to make my life easier from a long time. Some that I use regularly are [Read Now] : This makes it really easy for me to read pages which are unreadable. [Google Translate] : Translates pages [Mobilise This] : Formats the page for mobile viewing by Google. [Acronym lookup] : This helps me find the meanings for abbreviations. The links in [] brackets are bookmarklets. Just drag them to your bookmark bar. I picked these up from these two pages. There is also a whole website dedicated to them bookmarklets. As a developer, what i like about bookmarklets is that they are coded in JavaScript and i can meddle with them till my heart's content, without worrying about breaking anything. However, i wanted a bookmarklet that would allow me to look up meaning of words. Wiktionary was my open dictionary of choice. They d...

When you say........

......you don't believe in god, you admit there is a god to believe in This is the meme post that started this train of thought in my mind. I have heard one of my classmates say a long time ago, if women truly believed that they were equal to men, then they would not fight for it. While I never accepted it, i didn't know how to speak against it either. but it was there, somewhere in my mind. I think i made some sense out of it, at last. This is stupidity. This is like saying 'If we Indians seriously believed that freedom was ours, we would never have had to fight for it'. The fight for independance was a fight to make the other party understand and/or accept your viewpoint. The first resonable method might be to consider the other person's viewpoint. And using that as a base point,then work, with suitable proof and arguments, raise, alter, or reconstruct their viewpoint to match ours. This method follows the logic that people can and will be fair in an...

Markov chain in JavaScript

I made a small Markov Chain joke generator during my coffee break sometime last week. This is in continuation to the last post, where we did a similar thing. I did this specifically to see how well it could be extended in a language which I have typically not used before for ML/NLP. Let me run you guys through it. First of all, the Markhov Chains need a bunch of data to tell it how exactly you want your sentences constructed. str_arr=[sentence1, sentence2,...] Next, we create a dictionary of all trigrams present across the sentences. To do this, we use all bigrams as keys, and the succeeding word as the corresponding values. The key-value pairs thus form a trigram. As an example, consider the sentence : “The man had a dog.” The dictionary for this sentence will have : [ {[The, man] : [had]}, {[man, had] : [a]}, {[had, a] : [dog]} ] Next up, using the dictionary that we just made to create sentences. Here we provide the first two words, and let the function work...
