Ten Days' Campaign

The Ten Days' Campaign (Dutch: Tiendaagse Veldtocht, French: Campagne des Dix-Jours) was a failed attempt to suppress the Belgian revolution by the Dutch king William I between 2 and 12 August 1831. The Dutch army invaded Belgium on 2 August, and over the course of the next few days defeated Belgian forces several times in battle and advanced deep into Belgian territory. However, on 8 August, the Belgian government appealed to France for support. Faced with an advancing French army, under Étienne Gérard, the Dutch withdrew. == Background == When the Belgian Revolution began in August 1830, the...

About codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/69189/naming-factories

I'm hesitating to post real code, since it's proprietary code that belongs to one of my clients. I could put some make-up on my code snippet, but it wouldn't be my real code...

I was thinking that someone might have a solution to the more general problem of naming factories without needing real code. I trimmed most of the code out in order to bring sample code to its most general form.

Also, I'm curious on why my question gets rejected when a question with Vegetables is accepted: codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/8467/…. We can all agree that this is probably not real code either...

9:23 PM

std::max can take a list of values: std::max({1, 5, 8, 7, 9, 2}) == 9

But it also has an optional parameter: a comparison function object.

Basically, you tell to std::max "you compare two values this way, now give me the greater value of this list taking into account the comparison function I gave you".

It's very scalable.

well. I better get to work then.

I refuse to review though unless I have enough time to do a thorough job. Somewhat limits me in terms of quantity.

Huh.. someone file a bug against JDOM.... i want to close it as: Off-topic, not working code: github.com/hunterhacker/jdom/issues/139

Then I realized I should just migrate it to Stack Overflow.... ;-)

But seriously, my head is so confounded... I am engrossed at work, then move in to Code Review 'head space', and get distracted on tot GitHub issues... too many things to manage.

Q: Tag for code that executes in the interface builder

I don't know whether this sort of thing exists (yet) outside of Xcode/ObjC/Swift... but if it doesn't already, surely it will soon. But with Xcode 6, we can set up classes as "IBDesignable" and give them "IBInspectable" properties. The result is, when we make a element on the interface builder ...

Don't panic. Come chat on the 2nd monitor :)

if you post a gist (so it's less public than CR) I can review for ya

Q: Function to extract bytes as a decimal

You give this function a pointer and how many bytes you want to extract as a decimal and it returns it. long long byte_extract (void * source, size_t bytes) { long long num = 0, m = 1; size_t i; for(i = 0; i != bytes; i++) { num += (((unsigned char*)source)[i]*m); m

janos

what is size_t ?

Morwenn

Sometimes unsigned long.

using size_t = decltype(sizefo(int));

janos

why is it called that way?

Morwenn

10:21 PM

It is the type used to store the result of sizeof.

But it's implementation-defined. It is also used to represent the size of many things in the C++ standard.

janos

doesn't seem a natural choice for "number of bytes to extract"

Morwenn

At least you know that you have to pass an unsigned integer.

Well yeah, it's implementation-defined, but it is required to be a typedef for a built-in unsigned integer type.

janos

so hey, where did you read about the first-two-pages for t-shirt policy?

Morwenn

It's what happened for The Workplace if I recall correctly.

Tiny Mix Tapes also wrote that the band hold this genre palette together "by matching its compositional ambitions with idiosyncratic recording and production techniques."

You have any idea how many compiler errors that would produce? lol

@Morwenn Clicking the links/videos you post here is what it must be like getting Bertie Bott's

Morwenn

@rolfl Actually, I shared the description because I couldn't even picture what it meant.

Alex M.

wait, is cr graduating or sth?

Morwenn

But you're kind of right: I do listen to pretty different things from time to time.

Jamal

@janos I wasn't able to complete it, but that would've taken more time anyway. A majority of the class was having trouble with this one (it's individual work). I think I still got most of it done, and it does compile.

rolfl

@AlexM. We hav e been told that yes, we're graduating, but we have to wait in line for a few things to get organized.

janos

10:59 PM

thanks @Morwenn for the grammar fixes :)

rolfl

@Morwenn My wife says it's more than a little irritating

Morwenn

@janos No problem :)

janos

@Jamal so, do you like Java yet?

Morwenn

@rolfl What is irritating? Listening to genres you're not used to?

janos

what genre would this be?

Jamal

11:01 PM

@janos It's okay, but kinda annoying at times. I've never had to deal with different ends (front and back) and having them interact. That's the biggest part I haven't finished, though.

Alex M.

@rolfl cool

rolfl

@Morwenn Well, no, the sound of this particular 'piece' is just drony.

Alex M.

I wonder how the site's design will look

Morwenn

@janos Ambient.

Alex M.

workplace.se had a graduation that I've seen live

the new design kicks ass

Morwenn

11:02 PM

Well, it could also be "drone", that's right.

In playing around with this, I noticed three things I didn't particularly like: This picture represents the first problem. Setting the background color fills in the entire rectangle, but should probably only fill in the circle. We can fix this as such: Add a private variable to hold the v...

@rolfl Keep in mind that there are still pieces that I feel too strange :)

Q: Tracking Graduation Progress

The following information relates to sites that are in the process of, or recently have, gradudated. Announcement is when the site was notified that graduation was going to happen. DesignMeta ... many times, sites are contacted to say *"Hey, we have started looking at the colors for the site, a...

Note that code Review is about 10th in line, and they graduate about 1 site every 2 months at the moment

There are some assurances that they will increase that rate

Q: Struggling to create an instance (view) given its dependency (view model)

Basically, I have a set of views and view models in my project. There is a one-to-one mapping of views and view models, so each view requires a particular view model. I'd like to instantiate a series of views given a collection of view models. Here's what I've come up with: public class Overlay...

I like to close my eyes and simply listen to it, not trying to think to anything else.
