I think a big reason so many people find it confusing is that the workings of object context are so different from C++, Java, and C#, and yet all those languages and JavaScript use this as a keyword for a similar, but far from identical, purpose. All the Java programmers I know (including me) found it extremely weird in JavaScript until the point that the terminological similarity just has to be ignored finally sank in. — Pointy 54 secs ago

Using four stars is immediately a problem. Three Star Programmer is not a term of praise, and going for 4 stars — well, let's just say I'm not going to expend any time fixing your code, because where there are 4 stars, there are far too many opportunities for innocent mistakes with experienced programmers, let alone people needing to ask for help. You need to rethink your code so that you are not using as many levels of indirection. — Jonathan Leffler 1 min ago

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it probably belongs on Programmers, but even then it may still not be a good fit without some serious editing. — Jim Garrison 38 secs ago

Thank you! It works fine and solves my problem easily. I could never image a solution like this before, are commercial programmers storing content to their exe files like this as well? Would be interesting. Only disadvantage is the size of the script after pasting the BaseString into it: Picture has ~500 KB, BaseString has ~1500 KB. But I can live with that ;-) — Hamstibamsti 1 min ago

@Hamstibamsti Could you accept the answer please and yes I would image that there are some commercial programmers using similar techniques to store items within scripts. There many well be a other slightly shorter format that you could uses but I'm not aware of one in PowerShell. — Chard 27 secs ago

This is not the right site for this. Maybe Programmers ? — Rohit Gupta 12 secs ago

I do care. But I can tell you from long personal experience at SO that labelling something as "commercial" gets it immediate downvotes. (I find it stunning that some programmers, presumably who get paid to code, object to software that has to be paid for). Otherwise I would have no problem with your advice. — Ira Baxter 58 secs ago

Very interesting paper! I just love it when there's actual scientific studies about things like this, instead of subjective opinions by random programmers. — Lundin 1 min ago

Thanks a lot, just added my final code to OP for future programmers. Good to see StackOverflow was kind to me tonight haha — Blake 1 min ago

@Olaf: yes it doesn't write beyond. But there are implementations like Microsoft's _snprintf wich does not terminates the string with 0 if the buffer isn't big enough, and some programmers doen't know about it — Dave 32 secs ago

@πάνταῥεῖ: i added C++ tag since i was able to find such service for, uhh, ruby or python? But wasn't able to find one which accepted C++ build artifacts. As for 2nd comment - where do you suggest to ask? "Programmers" part of StackExchange? — RippeR 35 secs ago

@RippeR Programmers may be, but be aware to read their policies before asking. I'm not so sure if it's OK, to ask such there. — πάντα ῥεῖ 50 secs ago

@Marco13: It might yet come back, because of the meta effect. Anyway, while I agree that this is a trivial question, that does not make it invalid or useless. Sure, you know that the obvious answer is "use %" and so does any experienced programmer, but there must be millions of beginner Java programmers out there who don't (yet) know that. It's a valid and useful question that (based on a quick Google search) does not appear to have a good answer elsewhere on SO yet; accordingly, I've voted to reopen it. — Ilmari Karonen 43 secs ago

Using the two-part convention, which binding was missing? Also note, that with the two-part convention, you would have bound every IExport twice. For the the first convention you should have excluded all IExports. I'd suggest you create a new question in regards on how to form the question. Maybe another SE platform like codereview or programmers would be better. Suggestion: Why not have a convention for all types ending in Service, and specifically bind all the rest? Furthermore, if there's more specific bindings they can be put into NinjectModules in the specific assemblies. — BatteryBackupUnit 31 secs ago

What about moving this to programmers? It feels more design pattern that pure code. — user877329 48 secs ago

IMHO (and that of others) your question is not answerable in the context of SO. EG the answer to Should a frontend developer really deal with routing and authentications? is philosophical and cannot be answered with a specific software example. The remainder of your questions are of a similar vein. As for other forums, I'd say the closest one that suits your question is programmers.stackexchange.com — Peter M 1 min ago

I did feel that some part I've added was unnecessary and it did cause confusion. Is the discussion of frontend vs backend for modern SPA really opinionated? Just that I'm thinking of rewording the question to be more concise, but if it's truly an opioniated topic, I want this question closed. Thank you very much btw, I might try on programmers SE. — Nelson Yeung 26 secs ago

@NelsonYeung I would recommend against posting this on Programmers. We would also close it as "primarily opinion-based" in its current form. — Ixrec 13 secs ago

@MarkDickinson As Kahan has shown, log1p and expm1 are also easy to emulate. Presumably the point of providing such functions in a library is to provide the fastest and most accurate implementations to programmers who are not particularly knowledgeable about numerical analysis. — njuffa 1 min ago

You can ask, just not that kind of question here. Read Rainer's first comment. This has nothing to do with Lisp, you'd get a similar reaction if it was Java, C#, C++, etc. [stackoverflow.se] is for specific and practical programming questions, even Programmers wouldn't be a good place. — Paulo Madeira 51 secs ago
