This is a pipe. (Something dear to me.)
- mildweed 17y agoIts good to know there are more typography geeks out there reading HN.
- mncaudill 17y agoI'd say it has to do more with the use of the pipe character on the command line than the typography angle of it, but I could be wrong.
- borism 17y agoUnix pipe was my first thought.
- lsternlicht 17y ago^ mildweed is behind Tiny Sauce
- mildweed 17y agoIndeed. And proud of it.
- brk 17y agoI love it, but I'm not a "T-Shirt" kinda guy. I wish they would do something other than just T's.
- wmeredith 17y agoI can send you a High Quality PDF of the 11x17 poster mentioned in the post if you'd like to print it out. Just shoot me an email at wade |at| 200nipples |dot| com.
- chrischen 17y agoDoes anyone ever buy the $100 shirt?
- jey 17y agoIf I could get it cheaper, I'd buy one.
- igrekel 17y agommh... something is wrong tough. I always thought of a unix pipe as a conduct. The word "pipe" in french is correct for the smoking item (and also to describe a sexual act) but it does not refer to a conduct. The conduct you call a pipe in english is a "tuyau" in french.
- jodrellblank 17y agoconduct Conductor or conduit?
- igrekel 17y agoI meant conduit, thanks for pointing out
- jcdreads 17y agoRight. To pipe something is to use it as a conduit. A pipe is a tube for piping fluids. A pipe is also a typographic character: | The pipe character is used to indicate that the output of process A is piped to process B. I guess it's a pun. My apologies for horribly overexplaining.
- jsm386 17y agoin a similar vein, i have a print of http://www.threadless.com/product/543/This_is_not_a_Pipe http://www.threadless.com/product/543/This_is_not_a_Pipe hanging on my wall, over my wii & xbox. feels very appropriate
- cturner 17y agoFabulous post, wmeredith - thanks.
- jriddycuz 17y agoI'm a programmer, so I have a tendency to sit on my ass and snack. Why would I want a shirt that draws attention to my waistline?
- colbyolson 17y agoI hate to look really amateurish, and please correct me if this is irrelevant to the thread, but would the following python code equal to the amount of money received if each shirt was sold for one design? (It's python, and I'm very new to programming. Criticism is welcome.) a,b = 1,1 while a <= 100: a = a + 1 b = b + a print(b)
- unwind 17y agoNope, that ends up with $100 too much. The proper way is documented here: <http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_sum_of_the_first_100_positive_integers> http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_sum_of_the_first_100_p.... One way of computing it in Python, using a loop approach like you did, is like so: sum = 0 for p in xrange(101): sum += p print (sum) This uses better variable names, and a simpler looping construct. The reason for the 101 is because it starts at 0.
- colbyolson 17y agoVery neat, thank you for your reply. I knew of the shortcut to increment a variable, but I had no idea you didn't have to declare one for a loop. I also didn't not know of xrange, I will have to look that one up.
- jacquesm 17y agoShouldn't that be print ((n-1)*n)/2
- jeroen 17y agoThat's not entirely right. It should be: print ((n+1)*n)/2 (fold the sequence in half, which gives you 100 + 1 on one end and 50 + 51 on the other.)
- jacquesm 17y agoAh right, sure. I took the 'n' to be the 100, not the 101. A little too quick on the submit there, I should have run it :) But anyway, that seems to be a damn sight faster than to run a loop to add a bunch of numbers in a fixed interval. Especially for large 'n'.
- anonjon 17y agoThat is a T-Shirt with ink on it..
- dschobel 17y agoWhat's that snarky quote, modern art is 90% justification? Not sure why that popped into my head whilst reading seven paragraphs about his t-shirt with a vertical bar...
