Q: Costume Attributes in C#

@rolfl: I think we can wait another day to continue retagging. Our edits have taken up about half the front page already.
 
I have to admit, I'm a bit surprised at the number of assembly language questions recently. Had to post an answer: codereview.stackexchange.com/a/48891/489
 
Kinda makes me wonder why I have the top (or second-to-top) assembly tag score. I don't think I really know that much about assembly.
 
@Jamal It's Saturday night .... doing the retagging now, vs. tomorrow will make no difference ...
 
If you think so. I just don't want others to complain about flooding the front page (which really is the only constraint here).
 
@Jamal - for the record, you can't go blaming this on me....
 
12:41 AM
@Jamal I want to complain! Unfortunately, I never look at the front page, so I really can't.
 
@rolfl True
@JerryCoffin lol
If you have a complaint, stick it up your butt write it on a slip of paper and submit it in our complaints box.
 
@Jamal What is this "paper" of which you speak? Is that from some foreign language or something?
 
Well, formulating it as an e-mail requires sticking the laptop up, which is harder.
 
@JerryCoffin I would mention it here, but I'm afraid I could lose my diamond for saying it.
 
@rolfl Hmm...I don't have a laptop right now, and I'm quite certain my tower wouldn't fit.
 
12:46 AM
If you have a desktop, well, that's a problem
@JerryCoffin What is more concerning, is that you think your laptop may, if you had one
 
Jesus... some people really get their panties in a wad when you downvote their bad question.
 
@rolfl I haven't said anything about whether my laptop would, if I had one.
 
Check out the string of comments to this question: stackoverflow.com/questions/23449703/…

Well, that's an exploding bear trap
 
lol
you should have included the second sentence from that comment.
I call a spade a spade, and a bad question a bad question. I downvote bad questions. The only thing you can do to prevent me from downvoting your questions is to improve the quality of your questions. That you don't like my downvotes means that my downvotes are working. I'm helping the community by improving the quality of the question so that it can help someone other than just you. This isn't "HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME!" This is a Q&A site.

Yay for generalizations!

My only reply to his comments like that are "Please, check my profile."
I answer bad questions all the time, including the one THIS VERY PERSON asked just before he asked this one.
 
@nhgrif Even if/when a person really is acting like an idiot, don't expect them to thank you for telling them they're acting like an idiot.
 
lol
I'm not expecting them to thank me.
I'm expecting them to improve their question to answerability or to just ignore me and move on.
It's pretty silly "Your question is unanswerable." is replied with "DON'T BE A JERK JUST BE HELPFUL AND FIX MY VERY SPECIAL PROBLEM!"
 
@nhgrif While that might seem reasonable, it's pretty much ignoring human nature.
 
Not human nature. Idiot nature.
 
12:56 AM
The guy started his question badly but vikingsegundo is needlessly throwing oil on the fire
 
This is not natural human behavior.
 
^^^^^ I think you have a misinderstanding of human nature.
you are completely wrong, and have no idea of how people work
 
I must be thinking of monkey nature, which is apparently more advanced than human nature.
Was my original comment to his original question not sufficient enough to say "Hey, there's some things missing that need to be included before this question can be answered?"
 
Well, your response there was not quite along the way I was expecting.
So much for me being able to troll ;-)

I'm a seasoned WoW veteran. You can't troll me.
I take that back.

Whatever. As long as you keep your negativity to Stack Overflow. =)
 
lol. It may have turned negative.... but I mean... it could've been a lot more encouraging... but is it really negative to read someone's problem then ask two questions for clarity?
 
@200_success I generally vent my negativity in chat, and try to be polite on the main sites.
 
I'll remember this the next time someone asks me about a problem at work, I'll remember that it's not okay to asks questions of clarity for details that they left out of their problem description.
 
Of course, sometimes I fail at the latter, but I never let that prevent me from venting here/in the Lounge anyway! :-)

Q: How to copy files as fast as possible?

WebbyI am running my shell script on machineA which copies the files from machineB and machineC to machineA. If the file is not there in machineB, then it should be there in machineC for sure. So I will try to copy from machineB first, if it is not there in machineB then I will go to machineC to copy...

 
how about implementing some calc III with c++ for practice?
 
That's not going to help with the test. I'm not sure I can even implement calc I in code.
 
I know I can't ;)
actually, I could, if the math came in a NuGet package!
 
I could try something with cross product (one of the only things from calc III I understand), but I don't have time to do that now.

I like paying bounties. It's like giving back a bunch of votes to the community, by turning a zombie into a mini-contest.
 
My bet is on Jerry. He loves rep 'n' badges.

@Jamal ...but not gambling, so no betting.
 
Ah well. I only put 1 rep on the table anyway.
(seriously though, I too don't gamble)
 
I've actually looked at that one before, and been undecided about whether to try to review or not. Code making really basic use of a linked-list isn't the most exciting to review.
 
that's not the message being sent by the 15 upvotes..
 
I suspect there were so many votes because an assembly linked list looks exciting.

It's the voting on the answer that I'm really self-debating.
 
Well, if you upvote the answer, Community won't delete the question (after closure). But it shouldn't be too bad, just as long as it doesn't become a hot question.
200 got it.
I knew I should've closed it before that answer came in.

One more answer away from the C++11 tag badge. I couldn't find another existing question to answer, and my one deleted C++11 answer is obsolete.
 
You just need to give iavr a little education about the subtle details of C++11 and metaprogramming. codereview.stackexchange.com/q/48344/489 :-)
 
If he can write that, then he probably has more educations than me. All I really know about C++11 is that 1.) range-based for-loops, initializer lists, and nullptr are niiiiiiice and 2.) rand is bad mmkay.
 
@Jamal ...and thus the smiley! :-)

But seriously, I still feel I don't know shit about C++11. If they taught that at at school... wait, that would be a bad idea.

Perhaps the new one will be more your cup of tea.
 
I'll take a look at it. For now, I've added a tag.

heya
 
how are you?
 
11:35 AM
I'm fine. Thank you. Just got something to eat. How're you?
 
@kleinfreund It's probably not the English spellings that are confusing. It's all the German, French, and various other languages mixed into English that are confusing.
 
And Bristish/American English isn't really that big of a problem if you're not a native tongue.
 
But if you're not a native tongue, our spellings are ridiculous.
 
I'm fine aswell here :) Still need to lunch :p
 
@nhgrif What do you mean by that?
 
11:39 AM
A Spanish-speaking kindergartener can pronounce every word in any Spanish newspaper. They likely understand very few of the words, but they can pronounce them all.
Because the spellings are easy to understand.
But young English speakers and non-native English speakers have trouble with words like "tough" and "though"
 
Yep, it's a learning process.
 
Or discerning the difference between "forth" and "fourth" which have the same pronunciation but different spellings and different meanings.
In other languages, those two words would have different pronunciations.
 
That was actually just a typo, but right. :p
I bet all languages have these discrepancies.
 
And in my first example, it's confusing how simply adding a letter as the second letter in a 5 letter word changes the pronunciation of the entire word rather than just the pronunciation of the starting sound.
Some do, but most don't.
English is fairly unique in it's confusing spellings/pronunciations.
 
But still English appears to be easier. Atleast if you ask me.
 
11:44 AM
Is it your first language?

Yeah, that's a neighbour. No worries.
 
And the tree, is it an apple tree, or some other fruit tree?
 
Apple tree, right. My mum tells me he's been cut the wrong way, but I like how branches grew.
The bush is a rhododendron.
(Man, that word.)
 
@skiwi It uses some of the internal guarantees of the Java memory model to be able to do thread-safe manipulation in an optimistic mechanism and fallback to a previous thread's work, if the optimisim was wrong
@kleinfreund I recognise the apple tree (I love fruit trees as well - we have a pear tree in our front yard). The rhododendron is not soemthing I would recognize.

    }).start();

A: What is the reason why "final" is not allowed in Java 8 interface methods?

skiwiI wouldn't think it is neccessary to specify final on a convienience interface method, I can agree though that it may be helpful, but seemingly the costs have outweight the benefits. What you are supposed to do, either way, is to write proper javadoc for the default method, showing exactly what ...

Does this seem like a fair answer?
 
I don't understand final any more, so I couldn't tell you.
 
"any more"?
I could understand that you don't understand it, but I can't understand how you would've understood it and now not understand it anymore.
 
12:39 PM
Because I only had a very limited understanding of it to begin with and and it's been a year since I've done any Java really.
I understand the implications of the word "final" and what it does.
I don't understand when/why it should/shouldn't be used completely.
We don't final in Objective-C.
 
@Vogel612 the usb ports should already support booting – to check that look at the boot device selection during startup, or look through your bios settings (assuming you have a bios). However, the physical storage media must also be bootable – simply copying files onto the storage medium is not sufficient. I currently am running a system that boots from an USB 2.0 stick, so I have some limited experience with this.
 
@amon problem is he doesn't even show me the BIOS / POST screen he just "instantboots" to freedos.
 
@Vogel612 (1) are you sure the device has a traditional BIOS? (2) does some manual exist which lists some magic key combinations you have to press during power-up? It is unlikely you can change boot order etc. from within an OS.
It would be interesting to see what happens when you prevent the system from booting FreeDOS, e.g. by wiping the disk. Although I have a feeling I'm dispensing questionable advice here.

Q: CSS Ticker Animation

EasilyBaffledI have never use css animations before, so I just want to know, is this the 'best' way to animate a Ticker? I 'best' in this case encompasses efficient and semantic use of html and css.

Q: Better way to fetch JSON data from a server from iOS app

JoeyI have successfully coded a network request to fetch JSON data from our server. The remote function is written in ColdFusion. However, the code is quite lengthy and involved. I also noticed in the API there are other seemingly very similar ways one can go about making network requests, such as NS...

A: Optimizing multiplication of two polynomials in GF(2^32)

JamalFor the time output in main(): Use std::clock_t as opposed to clock_t in C++. You could have another variable, endTime, for the ending time. The computed time could also have its own variable, elapsedTime, and then printed. Only the clock time needs to be cast to a double, not the macro as well...
