@Pimgd Are you sure? Where? I've not run into a single problem with that.

Pimgd

does your IDE auto-correct that?

RubberDuck

No. It wouldn't auto correct that.

Pimgd

then problems

RubberDuck

But this is all exactly why I need to get those methods shoved back into some place where I can test them...

It's way to important not to be unit testing it.

There are many excellent answers on SO too.

RubberDuck

@Morwenn has a point. They get lost in the noise.

TheFailure

@Morwenn Maybe, but they are lost under the mountain of garbage.... noise ;)

Morwenn

@TheFailure That's true, but I think that there are at least as many good answers over there than here. Statistically, it's another problem though.

Q: Should answers to questions be in the same language?

This is in regards to Solving the Lazy Hobo Riddle. Is it acceptable to have answers that have code written in a different language than the OP's? The OP has since accepted an answer, but others are posting their own in Java and Haskell. Some answers are mostly just code, but others offer explan...

Does this mean use of pseudocode is no longer allowed?

rolfl

No, it does not mean that.

Pimgd

can I transform my illegal language code into pseudo code then?

rolfl

Context? There were two issues with the specific example cited in the meta question....

The first problem was that it was code in another language. The second problem is that it was not a review, just a code dump.

TheFailure

no posting in Brainfuck?

Pimgd

12:27 PM

Purely hypotetical...

I was a bit worried about the answers, you see.

I prefer stealing concepts from languages

rolfl

If you answer is a review, and some code helps to flesh out the review, then I am not particularly fussed about what language is used.

If the code is a code dump, then it needs to be turned in to a review, and I will give some 'leniency' if the dump is at least in the same language as the OP.... but will still downvote, etc.

2

Jamal's answer has it essentially right:

TheFailure

Hmmmmmm

rolfl

> As for that specific answer at least, it was also about showing off another piece of code, with no regards to the original code whatsoever. When you see an answer like this, and it's in the same language, then you can ask the answerer to explain how it relates to the original code. In the meantime, or just after a while, you can flag it as NAA, as we do not consider such answers valid code reviews.

TheFailure

@rolfl So if you go over each part and how it is improved and changed into your code dump that is fine?

rolfl

Answers are not the place to (only) show how much smarter you are than the OP. Answers are the place to give the OP a direction on how to take their skills to the next level.

Hi @Vogel612. It is code I'm using, though I have changed the names, put in placeholders for the method bodies and put it all into one object with an entry point. I have to keep the revised names, but I could replace the omitted parts with comments instead of place-holders, and remove the entry point I added. Would that be preferable? — Lucas 23 mins ago

Pimgd

replace code with comments?

no

remove code?

... no?

rolfl

A code dump saying: "this is how I would do it", without any explanation of why that way is better, then it is not reviewing anyones code.

Pimgd

@Vogel612 It's basically saying "what if my comments were more descriptive and I removed some code"?

rolfl

12:41 PM

Hey @Lucas welcome to the 2nd

Lucas

rolfl hi

Vogel612

aside from the fact, that the question is closed, nothing should hold you from answering ....

Pimgd

@TheFailure I recall reading something about a contest of sorts

There was some code, and the challenge was to make it run as fast as possible on a given machine.

rolfl

@Lucas There's been some concerns raised about your question.... but I don't know Scala, and there's maybe something I am missing

Pimgd

So there were some people who came with algorithmic improvements...

skiwi

12:43 PM

You are aware I hope that saying Scala will summon someone, right?

Pimgd

and then some with line-level optimizations, and voila, it was 10x faster

But then someone built it a different programming language and it was even 5x faster

rolfl

I have to say though, that in general, when we see classes called A, AA, AAA and B and so on, it raises eyebrows.

4

Pimgd

improvements were added on that for a bonus factor...

Vogel612

@skiwi Usually he should come around now..

Pimgd

Then someone rewrote the thing in assembly

Lucas

12:44 PM

yeah, I can understand why that is

Pimgd

and later for the specific chipset

rolfl

There's also the concern that the code does not do what it's supposed to do.

Pimgd

And in total they got it to like 1000x faster.

rolfl

Based on what I can see in your description, you're saying: The code works, using a hack, but there must be a better way?

Pimgd

@TheFailure You can't require yourself to provide an answer that makes it 1000x faster.

Lucas

12:45 PM

that's right

Pimgd

What you can do is the boy scout rule:

Leave it cleaner than you found it.

rolfl

@Lucas OK, I see that the community ha closed your question...

Pimgd

Find some improvement and post that as an answer.

rolfl

But, not all is lost.

The issue with the A, AA... type classes is that often meaning behind those names are more important than the classes themselves.

Even if you have to 'sanitize' the code so that it's not giving away information from work, or whatever, you should use names and concepts that are similar to what you need.

Lucas

ok, yes

that's why the names are changed

I chose A and B for simplicity

but yes, I could do it differently

TheFailure

12:48 PM

@Pimgd Okay, I will try. It's worth seeing my achievement tab green :)

Pimgd

I posted a comment once about why context was some important but I can seem to find it so I'll have to reformulate it again

rolfl

@Lucas As it stands, if I were to review that code, I would start off by saying: "Code should be self-documenting, names like A, AA, AAA are not helpful". Then people would upvote my answer, and you would get no benefit.

Pimgd

But basically: By providing context, you give us the power to give you a third option.

rolfl

Back in 50 minutes, TTGTW

Lucas

When you said "
There's also the concern that the code does not do what it's supposed to do." - who was saying that? I would like to know what they thought was wrong, as the reason for posting it was that I'm suspicious about whether it does the right thing

rolfl

12:53 PM

^^^ that, in part, is me. We consider working code to be code that accomplishes the design objectives.....

Vogel612

ohhh we're deep in gray area now...

rolfl

> The compiler does not recognise this, perhaps because I'm wrong about this and perhaps because it is not something it can deduce. To get around this I have told it to convert this to an S using asInstance, which is a faux-pas which I would like to avoid

Not without making a lot of assumptions.
Yet that's the exact answer you want.
At least I want those kinds of answers.
The ones where people present you with a new idea, not just pick one from a list you thought up before... because you had trouble picking between them in the first place, so anyone who picks an item on your list is gonna be met with "but won't that XYZ?"

12:56 PM

Donald toys around with some small systems measured in things like Astronomical Units, parsecs, light years, and dopler shifts. Petabytes, and so on... all in the Scala context.

Vogel612

@Pimgd well especially because that's a PoB poll question

"small systems" <-\-> light years, Petabytes

I sense a small discord in the force

Lucas

you can measure small things in big units

Pimgd

@Lucas That's just begging for a dirty joke.

@Aditya No problem :)

aliteralmind

@Vogel612 the value parameter is initially a string. intval is the value after casting it to an int. Just to distinguish it.
