@Mat'sMug I almost post a comment like: WELCOME TO CODE REVIEW PLEASE DON'T POST IN ALL CAPS But decided it would just be "raging" more than helping...

Jamal

@Malachi I'll show it to a CM.

Malachi

@Jamal thanks

@Jamal I flagged it to.

@rolfl Off by ~~one~~ R bug?

String input = "abcdefghijklmnopquestuvwxyz";

skiwi

Does C# not have diamond inference at all?

Q: Easier way to handle a Console Theme System

I'm just curious is there an easier way to handle console colors rather than just doing something like the code below. The problem is the code bloat I'm experiencing when writing a theming system for my console application. It contains almost 200 lines of code, just to handle the chat theme syst...

lol

@Phrancis What am I missing?

Mat's Mug

@skiwi what is?

@rolfl the R

rolfl

So I am .... ;-)

xDaevax

7:12 PM

@skiwi It depends.

Phrancis

@rolfl didn't know if you mistyped E instead of R or purposefully did that

Mat's Mug

actually "quest"

rolfl

But now it's nice round 25's s, 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200.

Nope, that's typos al thw way though. (intentional typos hee too)

Jamal

@skiwi Woohoo!

kleinfreund

Why you be like this, CSS?!

Intetional typoes FTW @monkye

@Jamal, there's +50 available here for you: codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/68443/… if you want the about-to-expire bounty....

xDaevax

@skiwi What are you trying to accomplish with Generics?

Jamal

@rolfl I'm ~~in Java class now~~ being lazy, and I may not come up with something better. That answer is still eligible for +25.

rolfl

@Jamal Don't believe so. The auto-award of the bounty only happens on answers posted after the bounty was posted.

Jamal

Oh yeah

skiwi

7:19 PM

@xDaevax Nothing in particular, was just wondering

Jamal

Well, I still have 16 hours.

skiwi

As example:

			foreach (InteractiveCloth interactiveCloth in GameObject.FindObjectsOfType<InteractiveCloth>()) {
				interactiveCloth.AttachToCollider(newSphere.collider, true, true);
			}

LOL, where is this??

In a few minutes, I think that I will leave you all to shower in the dark. One of the best things I have in a boring day.

skiwi

@Morwenn Are there any "mystery guests" around in your house?

Morwenn

@skiwi What.

Jamal

7:27 PM

That awkward moment when you leave multiple main page tabs open and think that someone has posted duplicate questions.

skiwi

@Jamal You're supposed to close your tabs!

Jamal

I only have four open now. D:

skiwi

Do you want to end up like me?!

Mat's Mug

@skiwi look who's talking!

skiwi

I've only got 194 open now. D:

Jamal

7:29 PM

My laptop would probably die before I even reach 25 open tabs.

skiwi

Browser only crashes at 2000+ tabs anyway.

xDaevax

@skiwi In that sense, no C# doesn't support the diamond operator (inference) because C# generates new code to handle the generic list when it is compiled. In Java (about which my understanding is far from masterful), the compiler erases the generic type and wraps those calls with a cast so that it is compatible with older versions of the JVM that did not know about Generics (An ArrayList<String> becomes ArrayList with cast operators from object -> String).

In .NET you essentially get a new class (ArrayStringList) which is not backwards compatible with .NET 1.

Morwenn

I don't recall having more than 20/30 tabs open at once. It's generally between 2~3 and 15.

skiwi

@xDaevax Would adding diamond inference then break things in C#?

xDaevax

Can you provide an example of what you would want to do with it, just to make sure we're on the same page?

Q: concatenating 2 array variable names to create a new variable name PHP

I'm developing a room booking system using PHP for a school project. I'm trying to create a variable name by concatenating values from two arrays together. here are the two arrays: $day = array('Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri'); $B = array('P1B', 'P2B', 'P3B', 'P4B', 'P5B', 'P6B'); and then...

php array

skiwi

@xDaevax foreach (InteractiveCloth interactiveCloth in GameObject.FindObjectsOfType<>()) { as example

xDaevax

@skiwi I see. No, the compiler will not infer from the type in the loop that the generic you are looking for is of type InteractiveCloth. You could write something like this however:

Morwenn

Off to take a shower, see you later :)

xDaevax

GameObject.FindObjectsOfType<InteractiveCloth>().ForEach((x) => {...stuff to do on each one...});

and it will infer the type of x based on the Generic type argument given

skiwi

@xDaevax Okay, I decided to not yet burn my hands on lambdas being unfamiliar with # so far, but they seem pretty straight forward in C#

xDaevax

7:37 PM

If you prefer, you can write it out longhand without the aid of the lambda like so:

void ItemOperation(InteractiveCloth item) {
    ... method body...
};

GameObject.FindObjectsOfType<InteractiveCloth>().ForEach(ItemOperation);

skiwi

Yea, that would work as well yep

RubberDuck

hEY @Phrancis do you know off the top of your head..... will LIKE '%SOMETHING' return records where the first word is SOMETHING along with records where it's the last word?

Phrancis

It would be other way around, LIKE 'SOMETHING%'

xDaevax

@RubberDuck I'm not a GURU in T-SQL (assuming) but I'm pretty sure that will do just the last word since there is no wildcard after the SOMETHING.

Phrancis

For records that begin with SOMETHING

RubberDuck

7:44 PM

hmmm let me rephrase.

How do I query for something that could be either

xDaevax

but, not in the middle I assume
