Yeah, Start and Action Center and the Search button when not expanded don't work.

And retrying doesn't help.

rolfl

@EthanBierlein You should run when CR officially graduates.

Hosch250

How long would I have to serve if I ran?

If we graduate this fall, I might run, but I'd probably stop in May or so.

rolfl

@Hosch250 Once elected you serve as long as you feel you can. You are elected until you step down, or do something stupid and get the diamond removed involuntarily

Hosch250

I mean, would I be stupid to run if I knew I might not be able to serve a full year?

@nhgrif Nope, but someone feels the question is useful, and that's OK

I took a step back from that question, looked again, and figured it really was not off-topic.... crap, yes, but not off-topic

Rather, on-topic enough to carry the benefit of the doubt

Stack Exchange

Data Explorer is back online, we're working on moving the chat data now - outage will be a bit later.

Tweeted by StackStatus on June 9, 2015 at 12:41 AM

nhgrif

I still don't understand how anyone can consider the question useful in any meaningful way.

The question started as a comparative review, which I already don't like... and was off-topic as unclear (by my judgement) because he was asking which is "better" without specifying what better meant.

Then he clarifies it by specifying he's concerned about which is faster, and somewhere in here, you decide that now it's clear enough (or maybe it was all along it just took two reads).

But to me, it's still a "which is faster?" question, and as far as I'm concerned, those questions at a minimum should be sitting at -3, regardless of whether or not we close them as off-topic.

And I comment "If you have two horses, race them.", hoping to encourage him to just find out on his own in the only sane way... in the only way that anyone could answer the question. What I did not foresee was that he would move that answer to his original question "which is better (faster)" into the question

And now, what he actually wants reviewed is questionable.

rolfl

If you take in to account there is actual code, it works, they're looking for any and all feedback with a focus on performance, then really, I can't call it off-topic.

unclear, but more clear than before.

nhgrif

I'm not arguing for off-topic. I'm not making that case right now.

I'm just curious why anyone would think to upvote it even once, and why more people haven't down voted it.

rolfl

Friends, and visibility?

nhgrif

12:51 AM

His comments are now actually suggesting that he wants me to review the snippets where he actually did the speed test rather than the originally posted code.

Hosch250

Because, Swift?

I vote less when I can't read the language properly.

nhgrif

This question is a massive mess. Whether or not it's on-topic, I haven't decided for myself yet.

Hosch250

Reading now.

rolfl

swift-is-magic - can be on-topic, off-topic, upvoted, and downvoted.

unclear is normal.

so is clear

nhgrif

And it actually really doesn't matter whether or not I think it's on-topic because it was mod-hammered closed and then mod-hammered open after my close vote, which means I don't ever get to vote on the question's scope again.

rolfl

No, you don't, but I also saw it in the reopen review queue.....

Now, I have another question.

Don't we (or SE) have a rule about resolving disputes with co-workers?

nhgrif

12:55 AM

I don't think he's asking his question against the spirit of Code Review.

Hosch250

Half the code isn't his.

Half of it is.

rolfl

he maintains it

nhgrif

He (and his team) maintain all of the code.

Hosch250

OK.

nhgrif

And he's not trying to get his team member fired. He's trying to validate whether or not his team member's approach is worth using.

And using Code Review as their code review tool, rather than reviewing code internally. Which is probably good, because apparently they didn't even know how to answer the question of which is faster, which was seemingly all they wanted to ask.

rolfl

12:57 AM

They actually claim to have an internal review process as well ...

(switch of string is slow)

nhgrif

It's not the switch that's slow. It's string comparison.

Whereas accessing dictionary values is comparing hashes.

You cannot outrun finally unless the VM crashes

Hosch250

I have no idea what was happening, but moving the LoC out of the finally fixed it.

nhgrif

@Hosch250 Perhaps... but if you want to turn off the wait cursor, this is likely something you want to do whether or not you hit an exception... and it's something you want to do even if you early return.

It worked fine in debug, but didn't work out of debug.
