Hello fellow J programmer. In statistic you can estimate the population size by coloring fishes that you put in a lake and some time later you fish in that lake, the proportion of colored fishes allow you to estimate the size of the population. Four month ago I posted some J identities [1] and you were the only one which commented, that means that in this capture I only got one fish and it was the colored fish. This imply that there must be very few J programmers HN, or more precisely, very few of them that post J related material. The parent's comment (also mine) has a style that was designed not to scare non J programmers. One should also consider that some people dislike J code so downvotes are the usual result except when the post provides some additional insight. Finally, thank you for this small J lesson, is a pleasure to find here fellow J programmers. | ||
