@Malachi aren't those records supposed to be 'sealed' ? :) ?
 
lol
I haven't given anything out
 
@Malachi - I know. Just gave you some homework to do.
 
lol
i will see what I can do on the performance stuff, I was hoping that someone would notice something small I could change in the syntax. I will be back in a little while
 
12:40 AM
@rolfl You work on Watson? Now I suddenly want to work on (ActionBar)Sherlock.
@rolfl Honestly, I'm really impressed that you work on Watson! You must have been doing a great job, considering it's performance in Jeopardy.
 
Yeah, "This paradigm shifting application is taking the machine-learning world by storm, it was worked on by rolfl".... "What is Watson, Alex?"
 
My Job, take "Watson" which is (according to wikipedia) : Watson is composed of a cluster of ninety IBM Power 750 servers, each of which uses a 3.5 GHz POWER7 eight core processor, with four threads per core. In total, the system has 2,880 POWER7 processor cores and is able to store 16 terabytes of RAM
I have to put that on a PC.
(running Linux).
 
@rolfl On one single PC?
 
I am somewhat exagerating.... the timelines on that target are fuzzy..... this will take many uears to get right. By the time we get there the PC is going to be very powerful
 
12:50 AM
@rolfl Yeah, the power of ninety IBM Power 750 servers on one single PC. Sounds very powerful.
 
The PC is not the only thing, but, as I say, timelines are fuzzy, but, at some point the idea is to have watson wherever it is helpful - hospitals, etc. And it has to be affordable enough to do it. It's not there yet.... Right now things like this are happening: ihealthbeat.org/articles/2013/11/15/…
 
@all hello! we got fresh new encouraging figures:

Q: Call of Duty - We're on a mission

retailcoderThis is a direct reply to Grace Note's recent CR review, more precisely the following part: (emphasis mine) Unanswered Tying in to all of the above is one of the most pressing concerns about the site I had in my own review, which is the gigantic pool of unanswered questions. There are, ...

918 Questions with no answers. (-92 | velocity: 18.4/day | incoming: 18.1/day)
1,045 Questions with no upvoted answers. (-192 | velocity: 38.4/day)
See this? We answered 18.4/day and per Area51 we got 18.1/day incoming zombies! We're keeping up guys! Woot-woot!
@Malachi with your last approved edit we now have identical rep scores :)
 
@retailcoder I just saw that update. Nice nice.
 
1:06 AM
@Jamal is there not a way to wikify a meta-question? I couldn't find the CW checkbox when I edited the CoD post.
@rolfl is Watson the new name for Skynet?
 
@retailcoder: Only moderators can CW a question now.
 
it will be called Skynet when it becomes self-aware.
(FWIW, I have already asked Watson how I can make it faster - it told me 'What is an Accelerator, Alex').

@SimonAndréForsberg: I don't see a need for a rollback here. The original code was not modified, and the newer code was added below. I'm assuming that newer question came from that added code from the answers.
 
1:18 AM
@Jamal Ok. It's your choice. Just wanted to flag it to let you make the decision. Good point about the fact that the original code didn't change.
That new Zombie is in the wrong game. (Read: That new question is off-topic)
@Jamal Use your powers to close that new question. It's not working code.
 
1:36 AM
@Jamal That user seems edit-happy. Most of the folks on SO probably saw this revision, in which case it does indeed seem to be better fit for CR.
 
Isn't the "errors" in the title still noticeable, though? I do see all the editing as well, and it could cause some confusion. Let's just see if they will help fix the errors.
 
@SimonAndréForsberg You're talking to the most edit-happy user on CR!! (@Jamal)
 
@retailcoder Good point :)
 
Hey, @svick.
 
One more chat member? We're growing :)
@Jamal That user3019552 and his intense editing is a good reason for why questions shouldn't be edited to invalidate answers. This is just confusing.
 
1:43 AM
@SimonAndréForsberg: Can you solve the OP's problem? If not, I can just keep the post closed until SO helps solve the problem.
 
@Jamal If I would solve his problem it would be only temporary. This guy is too confused. Unfortunately I think there's multiple things he needs to learn before asking a question on CR. I hope he will pay more attention in class and ask his teacher more about things. And, I hope his teacher is a good one (judging by his students, that is doubtful).
 
@SimonAndréForsberg: Possibly. So yeah, I'll keep it closed for now.
 
svick left us again :(
And now I will too. Night folks.

lol
I voted on a couple of things a little bit ago, but I am ok'd for overtime on this deal because it must be done by noon tomorrow.
 
what's that?
you mean you're physically at work?
Long live VPN...
 
yeah I don't have the setup at home that I have at work
I have three huge monitors here at work
 
Sh!t I thought I was cool with 2!
(at home too!)
 
and I have to log into all these fun databases and stuff. it's just much easier being at work. it is quiet here and I can bump my music a little bit.
I have 2 laptops at home and a nice extra monitor for when I get my windows box back up
I don't think that my little laptop can handle all the fun stuff that I do. plus my windows box still has the broken keyboard at the moment.
 
3:33 AM
Minus the one your big boy spilled apple juice on
 
that's my Windows box
 
lol
 
i need to get it back up to, I want to sell really cheap webpages for Christmas letter pages.
if that makes sense
 
I VPN/tunnel to our data center and then I can remote desktop to my office workstation, or any of our virtual machines - my Win8 box doesn't actually have any work to handle..
And I don't get the x-mas cheap webpages...
 
i don't know that my laptop could handle that. and I can do that too. but I prefer being able to use all 3 monitors
check out my Website, hartwebpages.com
i have an idea for cheaper that what I have on there right now. but I would do just about anything right now for the extra cash. that is why I am trying to learn javascript so I can start making my own plugins @retailcoder
 
3:38 AM
ouch! talk about cheap layout!
 
i haven't been working on it in a while. I want to change it up again. I was using some dreamweaver template, yuck
did you see my first version of the cool E-mail form? I need to make that look pretty now that I have it working
 
Oh, just noticed the menu bar!!
where's the email form?
 
yeah I need some cool Javascript and CSS in there bad. I built that like 2 years ago...
on the contact page
 
Well it's better than mine: ______ (none)
 
lol
it's needs work. but I need to learn some PHP and JavaScript for sure. it took me a little bit to find the right code to make that page work the way I wanted and I think it still has some quirks
but it shows a verify page and then redirects back to the home page of my site, which I think is cool
 
3:47 AM
I'd probably [try to] do mine with ASP.NET MVC. 5 years ago I would have done it with MS-Word so I'm coming from a galaxy far, far away!
@Malachi BTW I'm 10 points ahead :p
 
i would do it in ASP.NET MasterPages but ASP seems to cost more for hosting. if I knew more about doing server stuff I would turn one of my extra laptops into a mini webserver until it got too much traffic for it to handle
I will be there this weekend...lol
maybe
I promised little man that we would play some army of two this weekend on the playstation
 
I got that game on xb360
That's so cool, I hope my wife won't throw a fit when the kids are old enough to play video games and I dig up my PS2 with Guitar Hero Metallica...

I am trying to look for that book, probably shouldn't do that at work huh?
 
2:51 PM
Probably shouldn't do that at home either - your lady might take it for something else...
 
maybe it is something else. I couldn't find it right away, so it has to be an obscure book that it didn't come up on google right away when I typed in the Title and the author

@rolfl Agreed

With a score of -3 he could earn a badge for deleting it :)

4:25 PM
@Malachi @rolfl just left my two cents: This is code review, not StackOverflow: CR is much more about the fishing rod than the fish itself. Browse around, look for some nice answers and see for yourself: most of these highly-upvoted answers are about the review, not the code. Also see this meta-answer about writing good code reviews.
@SimonAndréForsberg I'm the top voter this week, month and quarter.. I'm this close to post a asking to lift the daily upvote limit...

put on hold because "it doesn't have working code" but actually I compiled and it does have working code
 
@JohnMerlino Hi there. I will check it.
@JohnMerlino "I think there is a flaw here. What if the first character of the input is a space, that word_index will increment to 1 before setting the total length for the character at index 0." suggests that there is a problem with your code that you want fixed. Fixing problems is what Stack Overflow is for, not Code Review.
@JohnMerlino It is possible that @Jamal made a mistake though. It is a little unclear what you are looking for.
@JohnMerlino The way I see it, you have a problem in your code that you want to have fixed. I think @Jamal did the right choice of closing your question. Try asking on Stack Overflow.

@rolfl Thanks, I was also thinking about what on earth those numbers was. I thought it was some kind of chat userid.

You need a happy-pill there, @retailcoder ?
 
@SimonAndréForsberg there is no problem with code, it runs just fine
all I was asking for was some code review
run that c program, it will compile
 
@JohnMerlino Edit your question and ask for a code review. As Jamal wrote as comment on the question "Yes, the last paragraph implies that you suspect there is a problem. Alongside that, there's no stated review request."
 
@rolfl nah, all is good. I guess there's a limitation on the number of chat messages you can send per second..
 
@JohnMerlino However, since you are aware of a possible flaw, you might want to attempt to fix that flaw.
 
6:37 PM
@SimonAndréForsberg I think there's a difference between non-working code and code that is suspected to have issues - peer review is also for finding code issues that haven't been identified by the OP.
 
@retailcoder I agree, but I'm not sure if it's off topic or not since he seems to be aware that there might be a flaw?
 
@SimonAndréForsberg @retailcoder - anyone who has 100% confidence in their code is wrong.
3
Thus, CodeReview is for 'nobody'.
 
@rolfl You have a point there.
@retailcoder @rolfl So should we vote to reopen or what?
 
Haven't seen the post, but I think we're shooting ourselves in the foot if we close every post where the OP thinks there might be an issue...

@Malachi: Your answer here was flagged because someone believed it was too similar to the referenced answer and didn't add anything else. Do you agree or disagree with this?
 
@Jamal oddly it seems @Malachi's answer was posted 1 hour prior to the other one...
You mean too similar to the other answer on the same question right?
 
@retailcoder: Yes. The flagger states that Malachi's answer adds nothing else from the other answer, while the other answer has code.
 
9:16 PM
@Jamal the flagger should have just downvoted @Malachi's answer, it was posted before the other one, he couldn't have known in advance that another poster was going to restate his answer and make it better.
 
@retailcoder: Ah, you're correct. By further inspection, Malachi's answer was posted some minutes in advance was referencing the comment.
 
@Jamal, @retailcoder, sorry I was AFK let me catch up quick
 
@Malachi: Alright. I haven't acted on the flag yet.
 
I commented that ratchetfreak add his comment as an answer, and then I went and answered. his answer is better than mine, but I don't think it is the same
my answer gives a little more review to the answer, his answer puts it into practice, but doesn't actually explain why.
@Jamal if he had added the explanation in his answer I would have removed my answer
@Jamal, @retailcoder I up voted his answer as well
 
9:31 PM
@Malachi I think you should remove your answer then, last I checked your answer said 6 hours ago and rachetfreak's answer said 5 hours ago.
Looking more closely there's like 10 minutes between the answers.
 
@Malachi: I suppose you could remove it, then. But it's up to you.
 
maybe I will suggest that he uses my answer, then I will wait a day and if he does I will remove mine
 
Let me upvote your answer so you can get a badge when you remove it .... ;-)

I need like 2 more up votes though
I left a comment on his answer.

A: Improve speed of linq question

ratchet freakFirst lets split up the query so we can read it: var alertList = from alerts in _db.Alerts.AsNoTracking() where alerts.AlertID >= Id.AlertID && alerts.DataWystapienia >Id.DataWystapienia select new MyAlerts { AlertID = alerts.AlertID, DataWystapienia = alerts.Data...

 
Sure we can make that work, right @retailcoder ?
 
9:36 PM
@Malachi the thing is it's not clear that your answer is referring to the comment, I understand why it was flagged. If I had mod goggles I'd remove it, it's a useful flag :p
@rolfl I need to reload first!
vote again in 2 hours
 
@retailcoder, read the answer I gave again, I said that ratchet freak was right in what he said.
 
@retailcoder: Yes, it is a useful flag. Mods are not required to deem a flag helpful if the flagger's exact requests were fulfilled. Rejection would only be needed if the accusation was absolutely false.
 
@Jamal so you can deem the flag useful and not do anything with it?
 
@Jamal @Malachi it will be auto-useful when you delete your answer
 
@Malachi: Yes. Basically, rejection is best if you've "wasted the mod's time," such as if someone flagged an actual answer as spam.
 
9:40 PM
Rejecting that flag wouldn't be fair to the flagger.
 
Also, if it was flagged as NAA (Not An Answer), it would be rejected.
 
you all have time to upvote my answer, I am going to at least wait for him to see my comments and stuff. so I won't be removing my answer until later
I would just edit his question, adding my answer to his, but that would sort of be abusing my editing powers
 
10:01 PM
i almost ran out of flags on Superuser, I have 5 active right now...lol I hope they don't shut me down....lol
 
10:17 PM
@Jamal 8 hours without editing this question? I am impressed. Now I just had to do it.

Q: Improve speed of LINQ query

ArkinghorHow can I improve speed of this LINQ query? using (var txn = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required, new TransactionOptions { IsolationLevel = IsolationLevel.ReadUncommitted })) { var myAlertsList = (from alerts in _db.Alerts.AsNoTracking() whe...

 
@SimonAndréForsberg: I must've somehow missed that one. :P No worries, though. I already have enough edits under my belt anyway.
 
Afk / driving
 
@retailcoder, they don't let you Stack and Drive in Canada, eh?

10:42 PM
Lol Stack n Drive - starred as soon as I get back to my keyboard!!!!!

11:01 PM
@SimonAndréForsberg it's not how long that question stood un-Jamalized for: it's how long since @Jamal's last edit!!
@SimonAndréForsberg just realized how painful it is to ping you from a smartphone :p
 
11:22 PM
If I look at meta.codereview.stackexchange.com in a box on the right it says there are 121 people chatting.... how can that be right? Are there chat forums I can't see? Is it SE-wide?
 
@rolfl I think so
 
@retailcoder Yeah, I've also started thinking about that. Whenever I ping you guys, I always use your full usernames. If you do the same for me, well... poor you :P
starting to wonder if there are any shortcuts to write usernames, @retailcoder ... Ah! The TAB button works!
 
@SimonAndréForsberg Well from a computer I do @+s+i+m+<kbd>Tab</kbd>
LOL! HE JUST NOTICED!!
 
@retailcoder yeah just figured that out. And on a phone you have to write the full name?
 
I guess I could've just said @simon but it would have been less funny
(did that work?)
 
11:30 PM
@ret yeah, you don't have to write full names. I wonder what the smallest possible you have to write is?
 
I thought it was 5 characters, apparently 3 is enough!
 
And also, can I ping myself? @SimonAndréForsberg
 
@retailcoder.. I doubt so
lol
 
@retailcoder yeah, that didn't work :( sad (and if I edit a previous one, I ping again!)
 
yup
 
11:32 PM
@retailcoder Could you try just @S or @Si?
 
@s
@si
@saf
 
@retailcoder nope
 
@sim
 
@retailcoder yup, three letters works
 
(@saf was kinda hoping SE Chat autocomplete had a built-in ReSharper-like code completion)
well that's good to know!
 
11:34 PM
@retailcoder saf as in S(imon)A(ndré)F(orsberg) I presume? Naah, StackExchange is smart but it's not that smart.
 
lol exactly
 
Hey Guys don't forget me in 20 Minutes. you will probably get these votes back if he merges his answer

A: Improve speed of LINQ query

Malachiit's so bunched together I can barely make out what is what. but Ratchet freak is right, you only need the Order BY on the Outside Query, it's the same in SQL, the inside queries aren't doing anything that needs them to be in order for any reason, you just need the final result to be in orde...

 
@Malachi I still haven't used up all the ammo for today!
 
What is it with all these people trying to do MVVM with WinForms?

Q: Automatic Databinding of controls to Model

Aseem GautamI have developed a prototype framework (MVVM) where control on the form is bound to a model property using a naming convention and its UI behavior is controlled using custom attributes. As of now the control name is divided into two parts - 3 part prefix and then the Name of the property in mod...

 
@Malachi And also, we will get new ammo in 20 minutes

(2 questions with no answers in )
Svick is getting a [badge:nice-answer] in 20 minutes - forgot to get back to my question yesterday (and that one is 1 vote short of being my first [badge:nice-question])!
 
@retailcoder lol
@SimonAndréForsberg, I need those votes, and I hope that he merges my answer with his.
I am outta here for at least a couple of hours.
 
@Malachi Goodnight then to you :)
 
oh yeah I just ran out of ammo on Super User too!!!
 
@Malachi I guess @retailcoder's behavior is contagious.
 
lol
I almost ran out of flags. only one declined so far because you can't migrate a question older than 60 days I guess
BBL
 
11:47 PM
@Malachi SU doesn't have any zombies... right?
@Sim what behavior?
 
@retailcoder voting as much as possible :)
 
like, shooting at every single zombie out there as if my life depended on it?
 
@retailcoder Yes, exactly.
 
@retailcoder: Does that question warrant the code-smell tag?
 
I'll put it in, I just edited it
@Jamal done
@Jamal uh you're talking about [Multiple return statements smells like what?] right?
 
11:52 PM
@retailcoder: Yes.
(and I was hoping for some snarky comments to that specific question...)

Q: Optimize random number generator

Sionnach733I have a method that generates a 10 digit random number where each digit occurs only once. eg: 0123456789 3645720918 Is there any way this method could be optimized/improved? private static String randomize(){ Random r = new Random(); List<Integer> digits= new ArrayList<...

 
@Jamal the not-so-funny part is that it was actually non-working code... see "mea culpa" edit...
@SimonAndréForsberg dude, 1163 in 21 days! @rolfl 1045 in 23 days! ...talk about velocity!
