I'd recommend doing it in the old-fashioned for-each way.

@skiwi has used some dirty tricks in the past to get past those, but ultimately, I think doing it with a good old for-each is better in this case

janos

interesting

I had no clue about this

Simon André Forsberg

otherwise you'd have to add an additional method that takes some sort of lambda expression and either swallows the exceptions, or rethrows them

janos

wanna earn some easy SO rep?

Simon André Forsberg

sure

Q: Compilation fails due to not declared exception, even though it is declared

This method gives me a compilation and I don't understand why: private void invokeMethods(Object instance, List<Method> methods) throws InvocationTargetException, IllegalAccessException { methods.forEach(method -> method.invoke(instance)); } The error message is: unreported exc...

I was writing it up while waiting

lol that was fast

Simon André Forsberg

I'm always stressed when I'm writing SO answers

stupid FGITW-syndrome

janos

this time, you didn't need to

this was all yours from the start

your fast answer kinda precludes the possibility of a pizza though

oh hey, this gets you Solstice on SO :)

skiwi

Jumping in quickly, my bad there @janos

I'd surely go with a regular for loop in such simple case

janos

no worries

Simon André Forsberg

@janos I don't want an SO-pizza!

janos

10:12 PM

but I do!

Simon André Forsberg

@skiwi I'm ashamed from not discovering that problem in your review.

I guess we're all humans after all.

What's the pizza?

janos

5 answers in less than 30 minutes

Simon André Forsberg

Aha

Instead, maybe I will get 5 up-votes in less than 30 minutes :)

janos

it's alright, this was too simple a question to get many answers

Q: Roughly removing 'duplicate' photos based on filename

I quickly wanted a script that'll go through a lot of photos in a folder and only keep one photo per minute (gotta love burst shots on iPhone). Fortunately, Dropbox names them with a timestamp upon import: I was thus allowed to base this one on the filename (an example filename is '2013-11-06 23...

@janos Are you good with gradle by any chance?

janos

not so good, but I build my android projects with it

Simon André Forsberg

I'm using gradle with my libgdx projects, and I just managed to add some JUnit to it, but I noticed that the task :desktop:dist does not run :core:test, so I'm trying to figure out how I can make it do that...

or if there is perhaps a good reason why it doesn't do that automatically

janos

nicely done answer on SO! I'll accept after a few days, in case the delay helps you get more rep

never seen those names

does :desktop:dist imply packaging like mvn package ?

Simon André Forsberg

yup

it creates a distributable JAR file

but apparently it doesn't run tests...

janos

then you're right to expect running tests

and I can't help you :-/

Simon André Forsberg

10:23 PM

perhaps I'm using the wrong task

janos

gradle ain't easy

Simon André Forsberg

Neither was Maven, until I learned it.

Dear God, don't make me ask a Stack Overflow question....

Morning morning

Simon André Forsberg

Yay, I didn't have to ask a Stack Overflow question!

@janos In case you're interested, I found this in a build.gradle:

task dist(type: Jar) {
    from files(sourceSets.main.output.classesDir)
    from files(sourceSets.main.output.resourcesDir)
    from {configurations.compile.collect {zipTree(it)}}
    from files(project.assetsDir);

    manifest {
        attributes 'Main-Class': project.mainClassName
    }
}

so I could easily modify it to add the task dependency I wanted

using 'dependsOn'

You earned Handegg on Stack Overflow!

Considering the voting on SO, that must be one of the rarest hats.

Q: Reading options from .cfg file

I have a bash script that reads a config file with key/value pairs and uses these values to modify the functioning of other scripts correspondingly. Example .cfg file: layout='true' code_compliance='true' .... .... variablename='false' output='true' The file consists of a very less amount...

bash shell

janos

@SimonAndréForsberg cool, thanks for sharing!

@SimonAndréForsberg both of my SO questions I pimped earned the brave answerers a Handegg ;)

there should be a hat for producing hats

Q: Lock Using `Interlocked` vs lock Statement (`Monitor`)

Considering: Interlocked.CompareExchange generates a memory barrier, Intended to be used with very fast operations (like generating an id), SpinWait starts sleeping in milliseconds after 10 or so spins (and does some other smart stuff), What are characteristics (pros & cons) of this code? pu...
