RELOAD!
 
And... napalmed the first reboot entry!
 
I'm sort of working on another C++ zombie, but it may be a skimpy review since I don't quite know what's going on.
 
TicTacToe 'get winner' is in the hot questions list!
 
Napalmed as well.
 
Ugh. Can't wait to get back to my feed reader; hunting down answers to upvote is so much easier with the rss feed!
(still phone posting - I'm at my sister's place, watching the game)
(Is it me or ads kinda suck so far?)
@Jamal not knowing what's going on could be part of the review ;)
 
12:14 AM
@lol.upvote Thats the real reason you watch the game. ;)
 
Ads? Totally!
 
@lol.upvote: I'll post the link as soon as I'm done.
I'm sort of watching the game, or at least the commercials.
 
@Jamal Not bad. How are you?
 
I'm okay. Not doing much today.
 
@Jamal What's the zombie?

Q: Can this function (implementing HTUnEscape) be optimized?

AjithCame across the following piece of code in an UI application I need to maintain. int tool_unhex( char c ) { return( c >= '0' && c <= '9' ? c - '0' : c >= 'A' && c <= 'F' ? c - 'A' + 10 : c - 'a' + 10 ); } void unescape2QString(const char *sOrg, QString & str) { /* * Remove...

 
Clearly not OP's code though.
 
@Jamal I need to re-learn me some c++. and engrish
 
I can definitely see quite a number of things to improve there
 
@lol.upvote: I was thinking that as well, and we can still close it if that appears to be the case.
 
The OP says its code they have to maintain. Seems that they have ownership/permission over it?
 
12:34 AM
I guess we can assume (pretend?) at least some of it is his..
 
/*
 * Remove URL hex escapes from s... done in place.  The basic concept for
 * this routine is borrowed from the WWW library HTUnEscape() routine.
 */
"Borrowed"?
 
They do just say the concept is borrowed
 
Yeah, he'll give it back once he's done with it ;p

Also, QString is definitely not immutable
 
@Yuushi: I might just comment on tool_unhex. I can see redundancy with the if statements in the other function, but I'm not quite sure how to reduce them.
 
12:41 AM
@Jamal Fair enough. tool_unhex can certainly be cleaned up a bit.
Ugh, the more i look at this, the more things I find that really need fixing
 
Here's my skimpy answer. I'm sure someone else can give something better, but at least I woke up the zombie.

A: Can this function (implementing HTUnEscape) be optimized?

Jamal I can't quite tell what tool_unhex() is supposed to do. It looks like it converts a character (presumably a hex value) to a base-10 value (an int in this case). You may need to change the name to reflect on its primary purpose. The ternary is a little confusing. I almost mistook the last two...

Of course, let me know if something is misleading.
@Yuushi: I'm tempted to say that those ifs could be put into a loop, but that may not quite work.
 
I think they just need to be converted to if/else if and have an error condition at the end
oh
the ones in unescape
yeah, definitely
 
12:57 AM
Yeah, in that one. I'm not quite sure about unhex, but I feel there's a better way to do it.
SO users... snicker

1:22 AM
@Jamal Ok, I've added my two cents to the zombie question
 
Looks way more than that. ;-) I'll take a look at it. I think I might've also found an assembly zombie as well.
Looks good. I was hesitant about recommending against ternary there, but I also wouldn't have caught the error conditions.
 
and now I keep seeing errors in what I've written too
hopefully I've squashed all of them...

A: Calculating prime factors in MIPS assembly

JamalProcedures You appear to be doing everything in main while just branching into single-character procedures. Consider renaming them to specify their purpose, while separating them from main. I cannot tell what main should be doing by itself. Comments The side comments here seem redundant: ...

At least, despite getting a D in computer architecture, I've learned something about MIPS. :-)

A: Bubble Sort Algorithm

Winston Ewert for val, item in enumerate(list_): You don't use item, so don't get it. Instead, use xrange(len(list_)) if val == len(list_)-1: val = 0 This rechecks position 0 again. There is no need to do that. Instead, change the loop so it goes one less round.

 
With his new position, he must just be poking around now. :-)

Q: Improvements/suggestions for my CPU emulator

Lee AllanI am trying to emulate a basic CPU (Z80) as close as possible. It currently does not read real assembly code, but that will be implemented.

(if you have not, please do not).
 
@lol.upvote: I don't think it was supposed to be posted as a question anyway. However, if someone can fix the English, and it's otherwise a valid question, then perhaps I can undelete it.

4:33 AM
I'd go for C#
 
Yes, especially for Windows. The Internet is full of resources, and you have Stack Overflow and Code Review at your side.
 
@lol.upvote is it available for windows and ubuntu, both?
 
@user41631 you need to join a club, community group, school class, something. I would actually recommend something like android or HTML5/flash
As a 13 yr. old you should not be asking around like this for advice. There's better ways.
 
^^ good point
 
@rolfl I know how to use html (i am expert) and falsh also (i am expert)
@rolfl how? why i should not be asking?

I'd be nice if the query itself could "analyze" a user's rep slope and find 4 other users with a similar slope, and would graph that.
 
Yeah, that would be nice, but it would have to analyze every user.... there has to be a way to reduce the users to start with.
(analyze is the key word there).
 
only look at users in the same ballpark?
 
which ballpark.... same rep growth or same rep value?
 
rep value
 
I was thinking of letting it project the (avg last month's) growth to a target rep... and 'projecting' the growth rate to see who hits the target first.

Hey, so I have a question that I think you guys/gals are the best people to ask, but I think it is offtopic for a post. I want to know what libraries are available for C/C++ to interpret piped input and use it to update state/variables in a program, preferably using some sort of event system.
also if there is a term which refers to this type of thing so I can actually run better searches for solutions.
 
@ConfusedStack I think that's indeed off-topic on any SE site; is that Google-searchable?
oh, right
no clue, sorry :(
 
@lol.upvote Any ideas where it wouldn't be off-topic and the community might know more?
 
@lol.upvote , @SimonAndréForsberg - the reprace graph is now adjusted to end at the user's current rep... the trends will be self-explanatory
@ConfusedStack programmers is what comes to mind first, but even there this would be off-topic.
 
Maybe I can ask in their chat too.
 
2:01 PM
Sounds like a plan ;)
 
I wish there was a SE that this stuff would be on-topic, because a single place on the web for this kind of stuff would be reallllllllly useful, especially if it was maintained with the same quality of normal SE.
 
@ConfusedStack - typically questions like yours do not fit the Q&A Style of SE... too opinion-based
 
@rolfl I'm not looking for "best" because that is opinion, rather just existence.
 
@ConfusedStack There is a "software recommendations" proposal that will probably be launched soon, it would be on-topic there.

The downside, is that if I'm able to do this, any other code can do this as well. - I think it can still deadlock. But at least I control when the lock gets acquired.

Whoever just gave me 5 extra revival badges, thanks ;)
 
@konijn who has the most Revivals and Necromancers?
 
@SimonAndréForsberg it's the reason why I have to look when someone dings me....gives me anxiety if I don't

That's OCD....
It helps if you do two things: Disable the ding!, and I don't think you get the red Pending message unless you're subscribed to the chat.
 
I'm starting to get an OCD of starring all "lol" messages I see...

@konijn: You can thank Santa. ;-)
 
@rolfl I am not subscribed but I see the number and occasionally the (*) on the tab in my browser that chat is on
 
woah, you're so way freakin' ahead!!

Time to leave work, cya!
 
soon....
 
@rolfl, what is this?
select se.ApprovalDate as tstamp, 'edit' as action, 2 as rep
2 as rep ????
 
Maybe we should stop answering questions so fast, let them stay for a couple of months, so that we can get more revival-badges!
 
;]
 
@Malachi selects 3 columns, one is the SuggestedEdit approval Date/Time, the second is the string 'edit', and the third is the amount of rep you get for an approved suggested edit (2)
Got a 1hr meeting... gotta concentrate.
 
4:00 PM
ok
@rolfl later
 
Oh, meeting moved ... late notice.
 
@rolfl, I don't know much about Cursors or UNIONS, I haven't tried to use them at all, but it looks pretty sound. I might add a few more comments to the code
 
@Malachi what you may find more interesting is: this is how databases were designed to work. back in the 80's it was always really, really expensive to get the data off the database, and in to the program logic. Nowdays people have overkill select statements, and then process the results (discarding much of it) in the client application. In those days, you went to great lengths to return just the data that was needed, and processed in the best possible way.
Any time you had logic that could not be resolved in a single select statement, you would go through the data 1-record at a time, and process it as needed.
The code in that question would be 'normal' 25 years ago..... that is what SQL Developers did. Now that job description does not really exist anymore.
SEDE makes life interesting because you cannot get the data off the server easily, so the practices of the 80's is useful all over again.

Q: Could use some help debugging a set of messy code

ZakI have searched through this code for days and can't seem to find the issue causing the glitch onmouseover of navbar. It should ease in, but instead it, and the rest of the divs on my page sort of twitch onmouseover. Anyone willing to proofread? Sample Link

 
@lol.upvote I can't afford to race unfortunately: I would have to neglect my work too much.

I'll be on-and-off quite a lot today, so don't ping me too much.
 
there are 728 unanswered questions, 738 questions with no upvoted answers - there are 10 targets left!!
 
@syb0rg what's wrong with ping?
 
@rolfl lol. I used to have a colleague named "Ping". EVERYTHING was wrong with that one.
 
@rolfl Nothing, I just won't be able to respond very fast.
 
@syb0rg it's ok, we're getting used to robots being slow.

I guess I should have said don't expect a quick response to pinging me.
 
Maybe he should try a clean install.

Q: Was this use of <img> tags in this HTML over background images better?

JGallardoI saw this UI for a mobile app, but I reverse engineered it for the web. This is how it looks in my CodePen This would be either a favorites or featured list locations to travel to. I decided to go with a <ul> with class of "locations" HTML <ul class="locations"> <li> <a href="#"> <!-...
