GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 1987

[Omni]

I like how Hall of the Mountain King made it to #6 with the fewest number of people voting for it. An album for those of exclusively good taste.

I thought about ranking it higher, but I figured that more people would have voted for it so it seemed pretty secure. I'm fine with its placement in the end.

i mean, i'm just using a random integer generator anyone could use. but sure

What is this magic you speak of?

generate 1 random integer, value between 1980 and 2014, voila. if it picks one we've already done, click 'again!'.

eventually you're going to be clicking a lot

I know programming if you want a random sequence of the remaining years I can generate it all at once

This and thousands of other sites already do that. No need to program what already exists.

Alternatively, just list the years we haven't done in a spreadsheet and number them from 1 up. Then if there's 17 we haven't done yet, generate a number between 1 and 17.

Alternatively, we could just look to the stars for guidance.

it's one line of code

it's one line of code

Again, why is this necessary when it is already available without you having to make it? What part of this is hard for you?

The amount of coding required has nothing to do with the fact that it's already been done by like a billion people. Please stop trying to win in situations where other people beat you to the punch.

one line my ass..

People seem all upset about my offer to help

Why?

 

[Baroque]

Yeah in R. It took her longer to rant about it than it would take me to code it

Observe the magical code in R:

sample(1982:2015,34)

faster than googling and bitching about it

2006 1991 1996 2005 2010 1984 1992 1985 2007 1986 2011 2000 2001 1994 1988 2015 1993 2004 1989 1995 2003 2012 1987 2014 1990 2009 1998 1982 1999 1997 2002 1983 2008 2013

just ignore the years we've already done and the nice friendly people of this forum

 

[rms]

haha I was thinking in C oriented code and wouldnt be that short since you'd have to make a check to make sure its not a duplicate from before

 

[Sirjack]

write them out on small pieces of paper, then we all pick from a magic hat

 

[no country for old wainds]

the site i linked has a list randomizer too, easy enough to use that as an alternative. either way is pretty quick tho

he'll fucking fly at you bruv if you're not careful

You can do this with a simple Excel formula
