I was counting on you watching the chat

So that I could delete the link from the log shortly afterwards

if i were a room owner, i can probably read all the deleted stuff

Oliver Salzburg

@jokerdino I think you have to be a mod to be able to do that

Not that I would be able to do that...

is anyone still here :P

Sathya

@MatthewWong I am, now

Matthew Wong

i don't suppose you're good at math right? (before you ask i already posted in mathematics)

Journeyman Geek

Yes and no, respectively

but y'all know I hate math ;p

Matthew Wong

not really :P

do you still remember remainder theorem in precalculus?

Bob

"precalculus"

o.O

Sathya

04:32

@MatthewWong nope, I suck at it :P

Bob

I've never heard anything called that over here :P

@MatthewWong You mean the polynomial one?

Sathya

@MatthewWong I remember it, but just by name :P

Matthew Wong

@bob yesh

Q: Remainder Theorem with polynomial as divisor

I'm aware that in remainder theorem you take the divisor and make it equal to zero. For the result of that just plug in x into whatever the polynomial dividend is. But its different when the divisor is also a polynomial since it has multiple roots: $$p(x) = \frac{2x^6 - x^4 - 4x^2 - 8}{x^2 + 4x...

Bob

04:34

o.O

has no clue

Matthew Wong

crap....

i have no clue about the newest answer too

soandos

He's explaining synthetic division

step by step

well, its really polynomial long division

Journeyman Geek

whooosh

thats the sound of that going right over my head ;p

soandos

@MatthewWong by the by, polynomial long division and synthetic division are really the same thing

Matthew Wong

but synthetic division is just a quicker way to get it done :)

soandos

04:41

yup

so ans #2 is working it all out in long division form

write it out, and you will see

Matthew Wong

ohhh i get it

but is there no way to use the remainder theorem for this?

soandos

What do you think the remainder theorem is?

Matthew Wong

getting the divisor equal 0 and finding the x for it

then plugging in x into the dividend

oh...

yeah that wouldn't work...

Bob

04:57

That bird looks familiar...

Matthew Wong

linux

or a dummer version

soandos

@MatthewWong div/0 is generally bad

Matthew Wong

its not bad. its impossible

soandos

well you can do limits and things

@slhck Oh, it's a penguin related to a kitten o.O. Ok.

I'll just go with this (warning: tvtropes)

slhck

haha, why does that need a warning?

Matthew Wong

because of spoilers probably

slhck

No, it's rather meta in that regard.

Bob

05:12

@slhck Getting stuck there is rather dangerous :P

slhck

@Bob Oh, that. That!

Well, too late :P

KronoS

@slhck hey whoa!!! it's the old slhck

Matthew Wong

@KronoS he's always been here?

KronoS

@MatthewWong that used to be his gravatar

well the penguin character dude... thingy

Matthew Wong

oh

05:14

Because I like penguins … and keyboards.

KronoS

@Bob @MatthewWong have you been testing out my app at all?

Matthew Wong

i didnt get vs installed

KronoS

@MatthewWong you don't need it!

:P

we figured it out the other day

at least I don't think you do

Matthew Wong

i probably wasn't here the other day

explain?

Bob

@KronoS Ah. That's where :\

@KronoS oh, sure, tell me after I installed it :P

@KronoS I live in Win7 most of the time

KronoS

05:21

@Bob I'm not for sure... you might need it after all

Bob

I can test it whenever you want, but probably not going to use it day-to-day for now

Matthew Wong

ill be the one to use it day to day since i visit su at school

soandos

@KronoS whats your app?

KronoS

@Bob that's fine. just looking for people to test this out as much as they can and give feedback

@MatthewWong cool!

@soandos apptivate.ms/apps/28/metrose

Bob

@MatthewWong Heh, I do that but it's a Win7 laptop - I just use the browser

soandos

05:25

@KronoS silly question: how do I download it?

KronoS

in Fake Programmers, yesterday, by KronoS

If you want to test out MetroSE here's the link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hg1juqf4tlgjcb3/dpOxM4YuBU Simply open the folder within, and run the PowerShell script to install. Please leave me feedback here for now. I'll add a bug tracking/feature request system here soon.

MetroSE bugs and feature requests can be sent to here:

@soandos I haven't released it to the main app store just yet

soandos

gotcha

Sathya

@KronoS have you fixed the answers being shown in raw html?

admittedly I tested a while back

KronoS

05:30

@Sathya that's a really tough problem that I'm not sure how to solve completely

so no...

Sathya

@KronoS hm, any specific reason? The question does show html right? No?

KronoS

@Sathya it's a parsed down HTML, but ya some of the tags are still there

I wanted to use a WebView to display the content, but that's not possible

Q: How do I bind HTML to a DataTemplate's WebView?

Possible Duplicate: How to access NavigateToString property of a WebView in a ListView I have a list of items that use a DataTemplate for each items presented. Within this template I have a Webview of static HTML taken from an API call. The DataTemplate is similar to as follows: <...

c# xaml data-binding windows-8

Sathya

@KronoS oh okay

KronoS

I am using this:

msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7c5fyk1k.aspx

but it only gets the characters, and not the tags

so for now, I'm leaving them in there. gonna try to figure out how to fix it later

soandos

@KronoS it just shows the MetroSE screen with white

KronoS

05:34

@soandos you need to add sites

go to the settings and then enable sites

soandos

got it

KronoS

I need to add sites automatically for first time run, but haven't done that yet either

soandos

or at least have some kind of startup dialog thingy

KronoS

@soandos ya I thought about that too...

@soandos can you test out the search and tell me what you think about that?

soandos

I can't get anything to appear once I enable the sites

KronoS

05:35

that's a difficult problem to tackle (searching which site)

that's another bug I need to fix... go to the setting and then press the enable sites and then the back button

soandos

ah, now it works (restarted)

KronoS

or restart it

oh ya.. you figured that out :P

soandos

search is not working

KronoS

how so?

soandos

(from the charms bar)

its bringing me back to the home screen

nvm, its working but fragile

KronoS

05:37

ya... another thing I need to fix is the web request errors

soandos

and clicking on posts seems to close it out

(for SU at least)

and should there be sort functionality on the questions (and answers to a question?)

(do you want me to send all this as bug reports, and if so, one per e-mail, or bunched up?)

KronoS

@soandos one per would be nice, but you can collect them together. also the web requests might be an issue and causing the app to crash

also you can use the gui bug tracking if you wish

Matthew Wong

"A desire to be personally responsible for production-level code (and the willingness to answer 3am phone calls to fix your mistakes)" lol probably not the job for me.

soandos

This guy right?

KronoS

@soandos ya

soandos

05:41

got it

KronoS

@soandos thanks man

soandos

no problem

(ill use the GUI)

Bob

@KronoS Would you find it easier to display RichText?

code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Html-to-RTF-a757fac5

soandos

06:00

@KronoS would the problem step thing be helpful?

(to attach to bug reports)

I wonder if it works for metro now that i think about it

KronoS

@soandos what do you mean?

soandos

The windows step recorder

KronoS

@soandos never heard of it

soandos

For example, gives output like this:

Step 3: User left click on "Search Results (list)" in "MetroSE"
Program: MetroSE, 1.0.0.0, METROSE.EXE -SERVERNAME:APP.APPX564VHRRWDJGAJMD7A3YQDDPF9N40CMZM.MCA, METROSE.EXE
UI Elements: Search Results, GridView, MetroSE, Windows.UI.Core.CoreWindow

in addition to giving screenshots at every mouse click, and the like

KronoS

Ya! whatever info I can get would be nice

@Bob Ya actually

soandos

06:05

(It seems to be saying there is no crash, its a normal quit)

KronoS

:/ what are you doing?

soandos

Trying to open a search result

@KronoS can you see the report I just sent in? like that

KronoS

@soandos it gives me a .zip file with a html rendition of what's going on

It's really nice

soandos

I tell people to use it to send me what it is they are doing all the time

you can pick the number of screenshots as well

KronoS

What I really need to do is create a log, and and also display error to the user.

soandos

06:18

It appears it quit without an error code

and I am decently sure that modern apps can use some renderer for html that is not too bad

@KronoS can't you incorperate HTML5 directly into the app?

KronoS

@soandos yes you can... BUT you can't when using a data template

c# xaml data-binding windows-8

@soandos you familiar with xaml at all?

soandos

Yeah, but not that well

Bob

@KronoS But can you do RTF/does that HTML to RTF thing work?

KronoS

the bold text is throwing me off

@Bob That's what I'm working on

Bob

..bold text? o.O

KronoS

06:27

What's bolded is throwing me off

no sure how to make that work

soandos

Very strange. I would have thought they would have made it more natural

(though the hack in the answer does not seem too bad)

KronoS

@soandos I actually like @Bob's suggestion as RTF is more controllable

soandos

Is it flexible enough?

KronoS

As soon as I figure out how to connect it lol

Bob

I have no clue with XAML, sorry :P

need to learn it sometime

KronoS

06:32

man just when I thought I was cruising a long, I realize I know nothing again :P

Bob

@soandos should be enough for SE Q&A bodies

might have some treouble with SO's prettified code

soandos

RTF supports highlighting

Bob

and the TeX on a few sites

soandos

mathjax is going to be murder

Bob

urgh

that stuff might have to be implemented manually

soandos

06:34

but if you solve the HTML/JS thing, then its not that bad

just can just dump in the content, and not worry about it

Bob

make the appropriate fetches of images and insert them? :P

@soandos that's best case

soandos

(mathkax is JS)

I think the JS support in win 8 (that is built in that is) is pretty fast

Bob

@soandos Ah, I was thinking more along the lines of those LaTeX renderers that just grab the appropriate image

soandos

sounds like more work ;)

Bob

Actually, quite simple

https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=tx&chl=<urlmathcode>

soandos

06:36

if you can just get JS working, everything else is done

(looking)

what is that?

Bob

https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=tx&chl=$\frac{5}{4}$

soandos

gotcha

Bob

returns a rendered image of LaTeX

soandos

as an image though, right?

Bob

yea

soandos

06:38

h'm

Bob

so if it's too hard to get JS working, it's always possible to extract the TeX portions and retrieve & embed the images

though of course getting JS working is the best thing to do

soandos

I just find it hard to believe that JS is so hard to get working

but I really just need to do more research on how to do that

Q: Reuse javascript code across multiple Metro-style apps

SOLVED! See my self-answer below. I'm building two Metro-style apps using Javascript and HTML, which will have different presentation layers but a lot of similar functionality under the hood. Thanks to the ability to call C# methods from Javascript, I can factor a lot of the "common" functio...

c# javascript windows-8 windows-runtime

he did it the opposite of what @KronoS is doing. Wrote it in JS, and then called C#

Bob

@soandos OH LAWD NO

nhinkle

that sounds like the painful way to do things, ultimately

soandos

Right, but it should be possible to go in reverse

the JS JITter is still around

as is the renderer etc

KronoS

06:43

<phone:WebBrowser cxi: WebBrowserHelper.Html="{Binding Question.Body}" />

same thing for the one below?

17 mins ago, by KronoS

soandos

I most certainly have no idea

Bob

@soandos but there's a difference between running JS code in the context of a C# app and running JS code in the context of a browser/DOM

soandos

c# can't create the broswer object?

(Or just the DOM really)

Bob

I believe that's what @KronoS was having trouble with.

soandos

ah

Bob

06:45

So, C# can do it but not in this specific case (without a little bit of hacking)

soandos

got it

KronoS

lol... that's quite nested

Bob

KEEP GOING :D

KronoS

It's almost as bad as this: lmgtfy.com/?q=cache%3Almgtfy.com

Does the onebox + quote break if the quote margin hits the right side?
