quick question. what download would I use for elementary os

The AppImage should work on most current distros. But compiling from source will give you a better system integration (mostly using the correct theme from your desktop). The best solution would be to use a package made for your distribution, but I am not aware of any (it does not mean it does not exist).

Perhaps the "Alternative downloads" section could be clarified with another link to the GitHub downloads - my screen is a bit wide, and I didn't immediately notice the "Latest release" link since it was centered.

I rearranged a few paragraphs and links, is that better?

(I see you took out the link to DFFD Win32. Well, you know I'd probably notice that. I know it's (currently) still there. )

[Clément]

I stopped updating it. Windows 32 bits will continue to be available on github. I am only keeping the Windows 64 bits version on DFFD.

Ok thx

Occupation vs profession. I get profession in the game, but in Dwarf Therapist I see mentions of both as if they are distinctly different. I don't see a wiki page on either.

So is there a difference in the game itself, or is this just some Therapist only distinction? Sorting in Therapist, profession sorts how one would expect. But sorting by occupation shows all my little dudes with nothing.

[PatrikLundell]

DF shows your new migrant as a Legendary Cheesemaker until hes sufficiently trained up as a Furnace Operator to switch profession.
Profession is thus based on the highest ranking skill. I think occupation is what the dorf is doing at the moment (eating, sleeping, praying, smithing, ...).

[Clément]

Occupations are positions linked to buildings like tavern keeper or scholar. Profession is the text written next to your dwarf name, it is mostly based on the highest skill (or group of skills), age (baby and child are professions), and military status.

I've been working on this for years.  I had it once and it slipped, but I got it.  I found my marbles.  My strange mood is complete.

I've been moving back and forth the past 2 years. But I finally solved a problem I've been working on for refactoring the way Dwarf Therapist calculates % of attributes so it arrives at .5 mean, is based on median, hones in on 0% and 100%

I was able to modify both sides of the curve ever so slightly around the .5 mean and hone in on a .5 mean without getting too complex

The trick was grabbing the sum of the negative and positive z scores and refactoring them based on the average of the sums.  This modified the values below .5 and above .5 ever so slightly at a proportional value smoothing out the curve!

Now time to code it

Did I get it ? https://github.com/Dwarf-Therapist/Dwarf-Therapist/pull/162/commits/abc79c6331b6fce95dfb073a54590d0486623109

It's a factor not an add

I believe it should be (average factor stuff should be done first)

 double average_factor = (m_factor_low + m_factor_high) / 2.0;
    m_factor_low /= average_factor;
    m_factor_high /= average_factor;

if (z > 0.0)
            z = m_factor_high*z;
        else
            z = m_factor_low*z;

This part is for the sumif + abs in D4, F4 and D7, F7. The factor is applied (what you do in column E) in get_ratings (call to cdf).

[thistleknot]

Ah.  That's good to hear.

I'm compiling it atm so I can't really look at it (I suppose I could with notepad++)

[thistleknot]

Looks like you got it.  I was debating about further modification incorporating the rankecdf into the final equation (column h), but it's not necessary (as .5 mean [as equal to median] is pretty much achieved with a range from 0 to 100).   The reason it's not needed is because both are based on median (including the stratified sdev), just one is a bell curve the other a flat distribution.  I.e. Incorporating ECDF (column h) would merge a bell curve with a flat distribution curve (both using median) and spread the scores out a bit more.

I'm very happy that you were able to code it so quickly.  I'm off to eat breakfast.  I'm not exactly looking at logs atm.  But if you got column f in there, you're good

It's funny because I had a dream about Dwarf Fortress the other night.  Some flying winged creature took away a dwarf.  I was explaining it to an elf that we would be building a fortress soon underground and set cage traps for that winged creature.

[Starver]

Flying winged creature taking a dwarf away..? Yeah, could be a dream.

Talking to an Elf..? Nightmare!
