Q: How to handle a senior developer diva who seems unaware that his skills are obsolete?

For a few years, the founder was unhappy about the technical skills of the employees, and he recently hired a senior develop...

"He decided to abandon all JavaScript libraries and frameworks except jQuery"
This feels like an elaborate troll
 
But isn't jQuery pretty much the most redundant library now

Hey does anyone know C++ here?

7:37 AM
Kinda
@Qwerp-Derp i halp u
 
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>

int multiply(int a, int b) {
    return a * b;
}

std::string input(std::string str) {
    std::string input_str;

    std::cout << str;
    std::getline(std::cin, input_str);
    return input_str;
}

int main(void) {
    int number;
    int number2;

    std::stringstream(input("Enter a number: ")) >> number;
    std::stringstream(input("Enter another number: ")) >> number2;
    std::cout << multiply(number, number2);
    return 0;
}
How do I condense down std::stringstream(input(string)) into something like input(string)?
@betseg Halp
 
I don't think I understand what this piece of code does
 
@betseg So it gets two inputs like this:
Enter a number: {a}
Enter another number: {b}
{a*b}

Q: Letter-replacement challenge

Is this code terrible?
 
7:45 AM
Yeah why not just use a * b directly
 
Does cout << "input a"; cin >> a; cout << a*b; work
 
@ASCII-only Because reasons
 
@Qwerp-Derp 0/10 unclear
 
@Qwerp-Derp ಠ_ಠ
 
(I'm learning C++ right now)
(And I'm learning about functions and stuff)
@ASCII-only FINE
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>

std::string input(std::string str) {
    std::string input_str;

    std::cout << str;
    std::getline(std::cin, input_str);
    return input_str;
}

int main(void) {
    int number;
    int number2;

    std::stringstream(input("Enter a number: ")) >> number;
    std::stringstream(input("Enter another number: ")) >> number2;
    std::cout << number * number2;
    return 0;
}
Should I do using namespace std; at the top?
Or is that bad
 
7:49 AM
0/10 function adds way too much overhead, just use cin and cout directly for prompt and input
@Qwerp-Derp No never do that
 
lol
No but I want the input to be like this
Enter a number: 10
Not like this
Enter a number:
10
 
4 mins ago, by betseg
Does cout << "input a"; cin >> a; cout << a*b; work
 
(where 10 is the input)
 
@Qwerp-Derp What about it
 
Huh it works
#include <iostream>

int main(void) {
    int number;
    int number2;

    std::cout << "Enter a number: "; std::cin >> number;
    std::cout << "Enter another number: "; std::cin >> number2;
    std::cout << number * number2;
    return 0;
}
 
7:52 AM
std::endl makes newline
 
OK this is buggy for some reason
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

void input(std::string input_str, int n) {
    std::cout << input_str;
    std::cin >> n;
}

int main(void) {
    int number;
    int number2;

    input("Enter a number: ", number);
    input("Enter another number: ", number2);
    std::cout << number * number2;
    return 0;
}
 
Not global variables
 
@Qwerp-Derp Use int &n in the method signature to pass n as a reference so it is changed
 
Wait what
Ah KK
 
BTW IMO templates are cleaner here

Anyone speak C here?
I think this is a correct struct initializer but GCC don't want to compile
 
I think you just write the values, no .str=
 
A struct in the C programming language (and many derivatives) is a complex data type declaration that defines a physically grouped list of variables to be placed under one name in a block of memory, allowing the different variables to be accessed via a single pointer, or the struct declared name which returns the same address. The struct can contain many other complex and simple data types in an association, so is a natural organizing type for records like the mixed data types in lists of directory entries reading a hard drive (file length, name, extension, physical (cylinder, disk, head indexes...
For non contiguous or out of order members list, designated initializer style[4] may be used

/* Define a variable p of type point, and set members using designated  initializers*/
point p = {.y = 2, .x = 1};
 
huh I've never seen that
 
What is make_ast_node()

Some helper function
I am writing a parser for VSL
 
I don't think it can has {}
 
But a thing like
struct my_struct s = {1, .b = 2};
is valid
 
Yes but it isn't an argument to a function
It's direct assignment
 
Ah
Vim says it's a syntax error if I wrap the initializer in parentheses
:/
 
Highlighting is red wtf
 
12:08 PM
Yes... ?
 
Oh I thought you meant vim says it's ok that way but gives error if it's in parentheses
 
Without the parentheses there is no error, with vim highlight in red

@Dennis ping about getting Charcoal on TIO, for the custom wrapper you should probably disable -r and --repr if you can, and exclude -i <input> if no input is given so multiple testcases can be given as via arguments (not sure if you need to do that because I have no idea how argparse works)

I get that a lot on my challenges.
 
@PhiNotPi idea for Clone: What if it only takes 1 slot, but if one of your clones dies, they both die?
 
hi
I'm not really back, but I'm making a web comic. :)
 
My car's brakes started making a gurgling sound this morning, guess it's time for my first mechanic visit ever.
 
@zyabin101 The past 3 times you've been here you've made it clear that you're not really back
3
 
2:11 PM
@zyabin101 if you "aren't really back", then wtf are you posting vague/pseudo-enigmatic blurbs that nobody here (afaict) is really interested in?
 
@Yodle Gurgling? That's pretty odd for brakes. If you've had brake maintenance recently I'd say it could be from a badly bled system, but other than that I can't think of why they would make any noise that could reasonably be called a "gurgle".
 
@Yodle are you using that xkcd thing of cat -> car?
if so, that that makes a bit more sense
but if not, then take video for science please
 
@NathanMerrill that could also work.
 
It might be more reasonable that something else is gurgling (like coolant) when you brake.
 
@Geobits Grinding maybe, I'm not too sure how to describe it. I had my fluids changed recently, but that's all I've had done. It stopped after I changed transmission from drive -> park -> drive at a stop light thinking maybe that'd help, which it did.
 
2:13 PM
It basically removes the possibility of perpetual cloning, it's difficult/impossible to figure out whether cloning is a viable strategy.
 
cloning would be a high DPS, low defense strategy
it'd be pretty powerful with ranged attacks
 
@Yodle Hmm, well if it's grinding it might just need new pads. That's an easy driveway fix if you have basic tool knowledge :)
 
@zyabin101 Saying "I'm not really back but let me advertise something" is basically the same as bots that post challenges with ads in the body of the question
And you advertise something that doesn't even have any content, which makes it even more "trolly"
 
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Is that cat sitting on itself?
 
2:20 PM
@Fatalize good luck getting any message to him. He's blocked pretty much everyone whose entered the room
 
I know he likes me, so he didn't (jk, I think I'm one of the first people that he thought hated him)
 
@Downgoat If he's blocked almost everyone, why does he come back.
 
@Yodle He's not really back
 
I don't think I've ever said a word to him.
 
@Yodle because he has no where else to advertise his comic
 
2:23 PM
He just likes to advertise things as Fatalize said
 
@Yodle Once you go The Nineteenth Byte, you never go back
 
If all he does is come back to advertise, why do we allow it then :o
 
That's a great question for the RO's/mods
 
We already tried to ban him but bans are only temporary
 
Ah I can see how that would be a problem.
 
2:25 PM
@Poke @Geobits pls halp here
 
This is the first time I've seen him back in some time now (did this happen more this weekend or something?), and it seemed (though a bit spammy) like he was at least somewhat low-key about it. If this is a regular occurence, that's one thing, but if it's just this time, the reaction to it has been more disruptive to "regular chat" than the post was imo.
 
Let's not vent out frustration on Zyabin though. We don't know who he is and what his life is like. He is unwilling to change his behavior for the better unfortunately, but I wouldn't want him to get the impression that we wanted to get rid of him whether he changed or not. I would welcome him back were he to change his attitude based on all the things we said. This is all on him though and seems unfortunately unlikely he will. This is no excuse for advertising wildly things in here, though.

Personally I don't mind the ads that much since they mostly take up 1-2 lines (unless they do the expanded message, not sure how SE chat handles that). I was just wondering why if others don't like that kind of stuff why he hadn't been reprimanded more heavily for it (I read through some of the past temp bans).
 
its all about frequency
 
2:34 PM
— Nyquist, 1900 something
 
@NathanMerrill Right, and that's what I was asking about. This is the first time I've seen an outright ad from him. Neither of the linked posts Poke gave are ads.
 
Anyone use Apache Wicket
 
Attention grabbing, yes. But not ads, which seemed to be what the current complaint was.
 
Oct 12 at 18:23, by zyabin101
@Poke Ooh, that's one thing I will hate to experience again. Suspensions don't seem to teach (their claimed purpose), but rather drive the user away from the site and have them choose a competitor.
Huh
 
(I was afraid no one would notice my wits, sigh of relief)
 
2:37 PM
@Fatalize I almost didn't star it, but it does deserve at least one :)
 
Well a star from Geobits, that's like the Nobel prize of TNB

@TheveryevilROFLcopter A more appropriate first question might be "Question: Does anybody here know anything at all about Bison or Flex?" Repeating an obscure question via quote after a few minutes doesn't usually work.
 
2:54 PM
@zyabin101 Just to be clear: We don't have a problem with you, just with the behavior you were displaying in chat. The constant "X hates me", "I'll ignore Y now", and getting worked up over nothing and not letting go (memes thread, TIO ad, etc.) is annoying and creates unneccesary friction. A suspension doesn't mean that we don't want you here, but that you should stop acting like this before coming back.
14
 
Quick question, what does TIO stand for.
 
try it online
 
Try it online
 
Ah right, thanks.
 
2:56 PM
I can't visit it at work :(
 
really?
 
@Yodle do they only have certain sites whitelisted?
 
I'd have to request to get it added, not sure if I can as an intern.
 
oh gg
they probably wouldn't approve it anyway
 
@NathanMerrill Most that I try to visit work, including stuff like reddit (although some subs were blocked when I was first here a year ago, now almost everything works), but if it's not a commonly visited place it's usually blocked.
 
2:58 PM
ah, likely a porn blocker then :)
if you don't recognize the url, its clearly NSFW
 
Oh wait, I just had to do a captcha first to view TIO, maybe they added it after seeing me try a few weeks ago.

@wizzwizz4 Hehe.
 
@J843136028 Hello!
:-)
We've been discussing C, and how to break it.
 
4:33 PM
I don't know any C, but I expect there's something like an exec('...') function like in Python. I think that they make it really easy to break a language.
 
@J843136028 There isn't.
 
'eval(...)'?
 
It's compiled, so you'd need to compile a C compiler with the compiled code to implement one.
However, C has lots and lots of undefined behaviour.
 
Do that. That would be an easy way to break it (with lots of code). Are you trying to do it in the shortest code?
 
And the #define statement is a little like find+replace.
@J843136028 No, but there's a challenge for that somewhere...
Give me a sec.

4:43 PM
@J843136028 We aren't that strict.
 
Ooh, nice idea, @TheveryevilROFLcopter.
 
Most of the time...
 
Idea to break C: Send a SIGSEGV to itself
 
I only just found that.
What actually is a SIGSEGV?
 
@J843136028 It's a signal. Gimme a sec...
 
4:44 PM

Signals are a limited form of inter-process communication used in Unix, Unix-like, and other POSIX-compliant operating systems. A signal is an asynchronous notification sent to a process or to a specific thread within the same process in order to notify it of an event that occurred. Signals originated in 1970s Bell Labs Unix and have been more recently specified in the POSIX standard. When a signal is sent, the operating system interrupts the target process' normal flow of execution to deliver the signal. Execution can be interrupted during any non-atomic instruction. If the process has previously...
 
@wizzwizz4 Ninja'd by TheveryevilROFLcopter, it seems!!
 
Thanks.

Also knows JavaScript and Scratch, I believe.
 
And brainf branflakes.
Oh, <s> doesn't work.
 
@wizzwizz4 I meant that you were ninja'd by The, i.e. The said it faster than you.
@J843136028 Use ---...--- instead of <s>...</s>.
 
Thanks.
Hang on, it did work.
 
@J843136028 I edited it. ;-p
 
@J843136028 Brain-Flak is a language
 
4:47 PM
Oh, yeah, you can edit comments.
 
You see that blue on my username? That means I'm a chat mod.
 
Is that the original?
 
@J843136028 It's an interpreter that conforms to the specifications.
 
@J843136028 Yep, it's the original Brain-Flak interpreter
 
4:48 PM
The de-facto original is on esolangs.org
 
So it isn't a language? I've seen people calling it that on codegolf.
 
@J843136028 Yes, it is a language.
 
It's a language
An esoteric language to be exact
 
@J843136028 It's as much of a language as Brainf*** is.
 
@wizzwizz4 But worse than that.
 
4:49 PM
The interpreter's written in Ruby, if that confused you.
@EriktheGolfer Oh yes. Much, much worse.
 
Just looked at the GitHub. I see.
 
But it's actually easier to do big numbers in Brain-Flak than in Br**nfuck
 
Oh, can you do numbers above two hundred and fifty-six in each 'byte', then?
 
A bit can only handle 0 or 1
 
facepalm I meant byte.
 
4:51 PM
Ruby integers are bigints
And a byte is always 8 bit (So can only handle maximum 255)
 
Also you can't do characters.
 
I know -- but in Brain-Flak, could you do, say, '+' 257 times without breaking it?
 
@J843136028 + is invalid :P
But yes, cells are unbounded
 
@J843136028 Yes, I think you can go up to bigint's bounds.
Theoretically unbounded.
 
If you want you can put Graham's number in a cell without borking the interpreter
 
4:53 PM
Yes, there is a stack, not a tape. But, + is invalid. You have to do (()()()...()()()), using 257 ()s instead. Or... a much shorter solution.
 
@TheveryevilROFLcopter ... Wow.
 
(But you will probably run out of memory)
 
@TheveryevilROFLcopter Oh, I have infinite memory.
 
This code pops and adds two numbers: ({}{})
 
4:54 PM
Whenever I need more I just overwrite one of the infinite problems I generated with a regular expression.
 
This code pops and subtracts two numbers: ({}[{}]).
 
Multi-line messages don't support markdown for some strange reason... -.(o.o).-
 
Is this chatroom specifically for talking about breaking C? We should probably get back on topic. Brain-Flak is so much more useful than brainf***!
 
@J843136028 No, it's not.
It's about EVERYTHING! :-)
 
@wizzwizz4 I know, I did it by mistake. Also, you probably have a slow connection, huh?
 
4:55 PM
@EriktheGolfer Yes, but I wrote that for others' benefit after seeing you correct it.
 
*others'
 
I was very confused until you corrected it.
@J843136028 *sigh* Yes, thank you @J843136028!
 
@J843136028 You can talk about cats on this room nobody will say you to stop if you don't 'overwrite' a conversation
 
Oh, and people get cross if you star everything, but stars are anonymous so they won't know who it is! >:-)
 
Yeah, TNB is the place for general conversation. If one topic continues for a while, it may be better to move it into a dedicated room for it (and we have many such rooms)‌​.
@wizzwizz4 It's usually not terribly hard to figure out who it is. :P
 
4:58 PM
@wizzwizz4 Common misconception. For instance, this room has never (yet) talked about the effect of the Mad Waffle King's misguided invasion of the Land of Milk and Honey on today's economy.
 
And chat mods can clear stars anyway.
 
@Geobits Actually, we just have.
@El'endiaStarman But usually don't.
 
(yet)
 
Except (occasionally!) to troll, or if somebody's being really stupid.
 
@wizzwizz4 Because stars are usually not abused.
 
4:59 PM
What do you think of this challenge? meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/2140/…
 
Umm... you know there is a Brain-Flak room, right?
 
So don't you dare encourage star abuse.
 
@El'endiaStarman I won't.
Don't abuse stars, people!
 
What are stars in this context?
