Just pulled the two from the universities archery society webpage. Hopefully one will be suitable for you

You can run other browsers on Android, Apple I think has blocked other browsers.

I need help with a Java lego project I need to do. We need to create an AI to navigate a grid after a couple months of coding experience. Help. by teh_gamezin java

[–]CorrosiveMonkey 0 points1 point ago

Are you using lego mindstorms with lejos? Could you just have a variable which keeps track of the number of degrees turned from the starting position. Lejos has some function along the lines of turn(X) I believe so you could just have direction=direction+X.

How to reduce color variation? by Kanosin java

If you want to try and do it automatically you could take a look at javacv which is a java wrapping for opencv.

You could use a threshold, either set manually or learned, and then compare the pixel value against the threshold and then then set it to pure red (or whatever colour) if its in that threshold.

What if Oracle wins the case, and are able to patent Java. by ElTerreeblayin java

"What if Oracle wins the case, and are able to patent Java." and in Europe it has recently been ruled that you cannot copyright a programming language

[–]CorrosiveMonkey -1 points0 points ago

I don't think oracle will be able to patent the language. I would keep on learning java, once you've got a good grasp of it other OO languages will be easy to pick up.

What college courses should I take if I want to focus on AI? by sun-and-starsin artificial

[–]CorrosiveMonkey 1 point2 points ago

I've done courses in machine learning, agent systems (the most interesting course I've taken at uni), cognitive science, if they offer any courses to do with reasoning and planning they would be good as well.

Modify list in prolog by prologhelpin prolog

[–]CorrosiveMonkey 0 points1 point ago

Can't test it on my current machine, but looking at wikibooks there seems to be a predicate atom_concat/3 http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Prolog/Built-in_predicates#Atom_processing I think you could probably just concat the head of each list every time

Hey guys, I have been admitted into the university and I was wondering... by speedzfin UoE

[–]CorrosiveMonkey 0 points1 point ago

That'll be easy. If you're going to be in first year then there's all the university accommodation close by. Or a non university flat (there's thousands near by).

I'm also an undergrad informatics student (will be in my 4th year next year). See you in september!

Sports and societies wise we have a ridiculous amount, >200 'social' societies and >50 sports societies so there is a lot to choose from there, and they are a great way to meet people. And if there's something you like which there isn't one for then you can really easily start your own.

There are lots of foreign students, and lots of them have their own societies i.e. korean society or bulgarian society.

Can I ask what course you're doing? There are two main campuses if its a science course (apart from compsci) then you're going to be about 30-40 minutes walk from the city centre, but there is a free bus or its a nice cycle. Most other courses are around the central campus which is pretty much right in the centre of the city so its easy to get to anywhere.

I don't know the details of the financial aid stuff, there is some certainly available. There is a hardship fund which I think is an interest free loan that you pay back when you graduate, and its there if you need money for basically anything. But there are staff who can talk you through what is available.

It makes it harder for companies to detect if it is one of their videos automatically. It is still breaking copyright, just harder for the owner to detect

beer(0).
beer(X) :- write(X), write(' bottles of beer on the wall, '),write(X),write(' bottles of beer. Take one down and pass it around '),Y is X-1,write(Y),write(' bottles of beers on the wall. '),beer(Y).

Prolog. Doesn't handle the pluralisation correctly.

format :- write('What is your name? '), read(X), write('How old are you? '), read(Y), write('What is your username? '), read(Z), write('Your name is '), write(X), write(', you are '), write(Y), write(' years old, And your username is '), write(Z).

Prolog:

Very dirty I think. Was having trouble getting it to append nicely so I just use a lot of writes.

Its a lot less gloopy and artificial looking. My mate loves the aubergine they serve.

To all of the redditors who were not born in the US: What myths/urban legends of the United States you held were shattered after you moved here/were taught otherwise? by subsequentin AskReddit

Yeh it is definitely a lot cheaper than the US. I think I read somewhere the average will be about £7500 a year. A lot of the anger about the tuition fee rise is because of the Lib Dems going back on one of their key pledges in the campaign which was to abolish fees.
