Q: Condense these page numbers!

is still up for grabs! The shortest solution is in Ruby, and I'm sure there's at least one golfing language that can do better.

@ThomasKwa there was something about that challenge that made me think s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/70/63/00/…

phase

@AlexA. I've seen it -_-

Alex A.

C++ people: Say I have an "abstract" base class that doesn't define any member anything, e.g. class Whatever {};. Then I have some stuff like class Stuff : Whatever { /*actual things*/ }; and class Dude : Whatever { ... };, where the stuff defined in Stuff and Dude is entirely unrelated.

Is this an example of extremely poor C++ usage?

@phase Pretty horrifying, right?

Pietu1998

No, if you find a really good use for Whatever

That's basically how Serializable currently works in Java

phase

00:32

@AlexA. hedgehog.exposed

Alex A.

@Pietu1998 Well, say I want to make std::vector<Whatever>. Then the stuff in the vector could be instances of Stuff and Dude, right?

Pietu1998

Yes. I have no idea why you'd want them in the same vector, but sure.

Alex A.

I have my reasons.

Adnan

Alex A.

Anyway, thanks for your help, @Pietu, I appreciate it.

El'endia Starman

I am about ready to post this ^^. Does anyone have last minute additions/notes?

Alex A.

@Doorknob冰 Today I used V> to indent.

Doorknob 冰

@AlexA. ^.^

Next time skip the visual mode if you can and get used to using motions by themselves

For example, I frequently use >ip in code golf submissions

Alex A.

I don't know what that means

I just tried it and it indents a block of stuff

Doorknob 冰

ip is a text object

Alex A.

01:22

Why all of the stuff rather than a single line?

Doorknob 冰

i stands for "in(side)" and p stands for "paragraph"

Text objects are amazingly powerful

daw -> delete a word (no matter where your cursor is inside of it)

Alex A.

What does "inside" refer to in this case?

Doorknob 冰

In this case i and a are identical

Alex A.

Why wwdi instead of daw like you mentioned a minute ago?

Doorknob 冰

ww is just to get inside the parens

f( would do it just as well

Alex A.

Is f( like "find ( and move the cursor to it"?

Doorknob 冰

yep

It's a motion too, so it can be used with any "verb"

@grc this is awesome, kudos :D

Alex A.

I saw that. It's the most flawless integration of a hat with an avatar I've seen yet.

@Doorknob冰 So that's a separately installed plugin?

Doorknob 冰

Yes. tpope/vim-surround on Github

It's one of the few plugins I actually have, and it's indispensable

Alex A.

You don't have julia-vim?

Doorknob 冰

01:30

Nope

Alex A.

Doorknob 冰

I do have rust.vim though ;)

llama@llama:~$ ls .vim/bundle
a.vim     ultisnips             vim-fugitive  vim-repeat
rust.vim  vim-colors-solarized  Vim-LaTeX     vim-surround

I've been meaning to install some more useful ones, but this is all I have right now

Alex A.

Syntastic has been annoying me. I think I'm going to disable it.

Doorknob 冰

I used to use Syntastic. I don't anymore.

Alex A.

What was your reasoning for abandoning it?

Doorknob 冰

01:32

I think it was just because I wanted vim to be more like my IDE, but then I realized it was useless because compilers exist

And then I mapped <Leader>m to :make<cr> and all was well

Alex A.

So rather than checking things as you go, you compile often to see what errors?

Doorknob 冰

Pretty much, I guess

Alex A.

Also, this is in my .vimrc and I have no idea what it does: autocmd FileType ruby setlocal re=1 nornu nu

Doorknob 冰

Syntax highlighting helps too, of course

Alex A.

I think I copied that from your .vimrc

Doorknob 冰

01:35

I need that to make vim not slow to a crawl when editing Ruby files

setlocal is like :set but local

re=1 does some black magic with the regex engine; no idea what it is but it helps with performance

nornu == norelativenumber because Ruby syntax highlighting hates relativenumber

and nu turns regular line numbers on

Alex A.

What is it that makes Ruby editing slow without that stuff?

Doorknob 冰

You might try removing it and see if your vim isn't as weird as my vim

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Alex A.

Is there a language-aware way to comment out a line in vim?

Or do I have to know the comment character ahead of time?

Doorknob 冰

There's a plugin

It's probably near the top of vim-awesome

Alex A.

Doorknob 冰

01:37

(btw, vim-awesome is pretty... well, awesome: vimawesome.com)

er, that

Oh, tpope has commentary.vim

Generally, any tpope plugin is a really good plugin

@Doorknob冰 I have absolutely no idea what that does

Well, I know what it does

I have no idea how it works

Doorknob 冰

-maxdepth 1: max depth of 1 (duh)

-I{}: replace the {} in the following command with the arguments from stdin

git: git

-C {}: run on that directory

Alex A.

@Doorknob冰 What are these "xargs"?

@Dennis Probably. I really need to improve my Bash-fu.

But seriously, who thought it was a good idea to make () [] {} (()) $() $(()) $[] [[]] ${} ALL different things? -___-

I don't know what half of those mean, and I'm not even sure that's all the weird bracket combinations

Alex A.

Is it possible to pipe the results of a command into a variable in Bash?

Doorknob 冰

var="$(command)"

Alex A.

And are variables by default local to the script they're in?

Doorknob 冰

02:25

yes

Unless you export them

Alex A.

Is var = "$(command)" okay? (Note the spacing)

Doorknob 冰

nope

Alex A.

Okay

So it's like Windows Batch in that regard

Dennis

[] isn't Bash syntax. $[] is a shorthand for $(()).

Doorknob 冰

Bash hates you if you misplace even a single space

BlockCoder1392

02:26

really

Doorknob 冰

@Dennis It isn't? I thought it was a builtin, just like test.

Dennis

@AlexA. That cannot possibly work. If it did, there would be no way to pass the argument = to a script.

Alex A.

@Dennis Okay

@Doorknob冰 It's a built-in, but not syntax. [ 1 > 2 ] pipes output to 2, for example.

@AlexA. Well, I consider "ethnic food" to mean any sort of food that comes from or is especially popular within a particular culture. So hamburgers and pizzas, for example, don't really count in my view. Aside from that, I eat near-exclusively very simple dishes. I can't smell, so texture matters a lot more to me than to most, and I don't mind eating the same things over and over again.

Does anyone have a good quality bluetooth speaker? Is it normal for the sound to jitter and fade when your phone is 20 or so feet away? (possibly with a wall between)

Also, considering that the USA's states are basically the size of European countries, there isn't an overall "American ethnic food", but rather regional ethnic foods.

@Calvin'sHobbies 6.096 meters indoors? Yeah, that's pretty normal.

It's not just the speaker, but whatever device you're connecting to it.

My phone seems to cover longer distances than my wife's.

The biggest difference between low- and high-end speakers seems to be the sounds quality. My wife's Bose is simply amazing.

@El'endiaStarman If I did that, I'd have nightmares for weeks. Plus I have to find the offsets for the rest of the animations.

Just popping in and back out to say Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, 'Tis the Season, or whatever is appropriate this time of year. See ya later! :D

@Dennis Oh this is perfect, thank you! It looks like the problem I'm having is that it runs in the base directory before it goes into the subdirectories.

@Geobits Hello I miss you please have good holidays or whatever <#

Oops

El'endia Starman

Not sure if on purpose.

Geobits

Less than hash

> capital 3

Alex A.

Uppercase 3, if you please

Dennis

@AlexA. Add -mindepth 1. Or just use a for loop.

for d in ~/.vim/bundle/*; do
    git -C "$d" pull
done

Alex A.

Why "$d"? Specifically, why the quotes?

Doorknob 冰

@AlexA. Spaces in filenames and other shenanigans

Dennis

Probably not a problem with git repos, but a good habit.

Mmmmmmhmm

Doorknob 冰

It's always a good idea to use "$var" instead of $var when you expect one argument every time

Alex A.

Okay

Doorknob 冰

@Dennis yes this

Dennis

@Doorknob冰 Which is also why vanilla find | xargs usually isn't a good idea.

Alex A.

@Dennis Will this not try to get into . and ..?

Doorknob 冰

@Dennis >.<

I never did get the hang of -print0 etc.

@AlexA. No, those are hidden (begin with .)

Dennis

@AlexA. Nope, glob expansion ignores hidden directory entries.

Alex A.

Gotcha

Thank you both so much for all of your Bash help this evening. :)

Doorknob 冰

Glad to help!

Dennis

No problem. That's pretty much the only language I use in real life. :)
