Simon André Forsberg

DatLumberZach

OMG GET ON IT >:(

rolfl

Now bugger off and leave us alone !

DatLumberZach

rolfl codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/51454/… I fixed this btw

rolfl

@Jamal - yes, it is invalidating.

You want to roll-=back, or me?

DatLumberZach

after 2 brain anurisms and 1 stroke trying to find my error I added an else statement xD

Isn't that what I said yesterday? ;-)

Q: misleading "How To Format" guide styling

The "How To Format" guide on the right side of the screen is misleading, it Uses "►" for each item in the list. Usually this "►" means that the list item is expandable, but it is not an expandable list. I believe that a round or square bullet would be better suited to this list. Does anyo...

shush you

it took me since yesterday evening to get it to work :P

Jamal

11:12 PM

@rolfl You may do it.

DatLumberZach

thou hath been blessed

Jamal did you have a look at the code to see if I can add more functionality?

Jamal

I'm about to.

DatLumberZach

no hurries just asking :)

Q: Download url from clipboard

This is a python script i made to download a URL from the clipboard. When a new URL is copied to a clipboard it adds the URL to a download queue, then on a separate thread it downloads the URL to a file. I am new to multithreading, Is my script properly using multithreading? It needs to downlo...

hey 200 could you review this code? I used a lot of your suggestions codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/51454/…

link it here pls Jamal?

Q: Hangman game with hard-coded word or phrase

I feel that this implementation can still be simplified. I've tried to keep variable scopes low and have used as much of the standard library as I could. It currently works with a hard-coded word or phrase, but I eventually plan on having it work with random words or phrases from a file. My ma...

@CaptainObvious That was fast? Were you afraid of me? :P

@DatLumberZach I'll look at it now, but I'm not sure what I'll be able to recommend.

DatLumberZach

it isn't that hard to decipher it :P

it is all pretty straight forward, but I need to DRY it

Jamal

Probably not, but I don't want to think I know what could be done, only to find out that it's not possible in JS.

DatLumberZach

11:25 PM

try me, I will see if it can be done

I am welcoming all input

Jamal

Alright. I've taken a downvote on a Java answer, so I can take one here. Probably not from you, but anyone else.

DatLumberZach

post it in chat

if you don't want a downvote

Jamal

For the first prompts, it seems weird to convert them on the same line. Could they be done separately, or is that common in JS?

DatLumberZach

that just removes unneccesary code

Jamal

Okay

DatLumberZach

11:28 PM

I agree it does look weird though

Jamal

Yeah, DRYing would be the main thing, but I cannot provide relevant code for that.

DatLumberZach

most of my code is like this, like a run on sentence

I am working on fixing it

My main problem was converting an NP Hard problem into a few lines of JS xD

thanks for looking at it though :)

Jamal

> Sees notification for new question
> Sees that it's just an edit by the monkey

rolfl

hehehehe

DatLumberZach

Story of my knowing Jamal :P

I try to be friendly in my questions and you edit them to be just like all of the other ones out there xD

200 what edits did you make?

hey mat

11:41 PM

hi!

DatLumberZach

I fixed that damn mess I wrote last night

turns out rolfl was actually right and I was just dumb :P

Mat's Mug

lol saw that (caught up on the transcript with phone) ;)

DatLumberZach

;)

I had one of those "are you srs?!" moments

rolfl

@DatLumberZach doubt the monkey, and struggle you will!

Mat's Mug

@DatLumberZach I have no idea what you're referring to. (cough) No idea. (cough)

DatLumberZach

11:44 PM

Me either (cough) not at all...

Mat's Mug

well, well done! :)

DatLumberZach

aha maybe my math teacher will give me a better mark if I showed her this :P

Mat's Mug

TBH NP-Anything scares the shit out of me

DatLumberZach

told her I solved an NP Hard problem xD

same

Mat's Mug

the face must have been worth $100

DatLumberZach

11:46 PM

when I learned I needed to solve an NP-Hard problem in JS to do what I wanted to I almost died

she didn't believe me xD

Mat's Mug

DatLumberZach

my 76% in the class said otherwise

aha I saw this last night :)

made my night

I liked imagining the cooks in the back with calculators, trying to figure it out

Mat's Mug

(closes calc.exe)

DatLumberZach

(knows it's still open)

Mat's Mug

(no it's not ;)

DatLumberZach

11:51 PM

(fine.)

Mat what is your knowledge of JS?

Mat's Mug

that it quacks like a duck

DatLumberZach

ok, so we are on the same page ;)

Mat's Mug

lol

rolfl

@Mat'sMug It does? I never knew JS was duck-typed.

Mat's Mug

isn't it?

DatLumberZach

11:53 PM

yes, and of the mallard variety

you just havent looked close enough

A: Duck Typing in Javascript

The second link gives an example of a duck-typing-like pattern in js. Not saying I recommend doing this, but... well, you asked for it. ;) In computer programming with object-oriented programming languages, duck typing is a style of dynamic typing in which an object's current set of m...

@DatLumberZach - (... putting mod hat on ....) for the most part, we don't normally do 'support' in chat, and it's off-topic on the main site. Just be careful you don't push things too far.... people on Code Review tend to help on an as-they-can basis, not on an on-demand basis.

DatLumberZach

I was just asking if he could

no guns are being held to his head ;)
