RELOAD!

@Loufylouf Everything!

Hosch250

@SimonAndréForsberg OK.

SirPython

@SimonAndréForsberg And nothing.

Hosch250

Didn't realize it was this late.

I DVLR'ed a while ago.

Simon André Forsberg

12:00 AM

Me neither.

I didn't DVLR at all.

I am considering going to bed.

nhgrif

The good thing about being on a Mac (although, right now I'm on my Ubuntu laptop downstairs), is that it's Unix based, so all of the command line stuff is basically the same as Linux.... and there's tons of good info about doing these command line programs.

Hosch250

Getting harder to do, now that I'm through the One Vote Short list.

nhgrif

Not as much good info about using Windows command line based programs. People don't use Windows command line nearly as much.

Simon André Forsberg

I wanted to review @skiwi's question, but that might have to wait until tomorrow (giving @rolfl or others the opportunity to answer...)

Hosch250

@nhgrif Why would I use the command line when I can do most of the stuff with a built-in program?

Simon André Forsberg

12:02 AM

@nhgrif indeed a big advantage.

Hosch250

The only thing I use the command line for is pinging servers and resetting my IP.

nhgrif

I never use the command line either.

Hosch250

Oh, I see.

SirPython

Are pings supposed to make a sound?

Hosch250

I should try Ubuntu some time, but I don't really want to have to use the command line to set the computer up.

Simon André Forsberg

12:03 AM

@Hosch250 Let me help you out there: codereview.stackexchange.com/users/31562/…

Hosch250

@SirPython They can.

nhgrif

Some things are significantly easier on the command line (not many that I've seen though). Some things can only be done via command line that I have found.

SirPython

@Hosch250 Ah, thanks for that. I forgot what they sounded like.

nhgrif

You don't have to use command line on Ubuntu...

Simon André Forsberg

@SirPython if you have the sound enabled (see top right, to the left of "all rooms")

Hosch250

12:04 AM

Oh, it comes with a built-in GUI?

nhgrif

Yes.

Hosch250

I've read that some don't.

nhgrif

Ubuntu does.

Hosch250

OK, that's nice to know.

I'm going to do the French Windows 10 preview first.

Simon André Forsberg

@nhgrif When your computer is in the kitchen and you have no monitor attached to it, you do.

Hosch250

12:05 AM

I want to learn French, so why not get a French OS?

nhgrif

nhgrif

I can do this on Mac/Linux though.

SirPython

@SimonAndréForsberg But how are you supposed to have a 2nd monitor if you can't have a first?

Hosch250

@nhgrif Do you use an anti-malware suite?

nhgrif

12:05 AM

No.

I hardly browse any websites outside of StackExchange.

And almost all of my downloads are through Steam.

Hosch250

I've read that OSX is getting more popular for criminals now.

OK, no trouble there.

I just use Defender.

It comes with Windows, so why not?

Simon André Forsberg

@SirPython I have more computers.

Hosch250

I keep my second monitor in my taskbar as a window.

Really, it is just my VM.

nhgrif

That's the opposite of a second monitor.

That's two desktops on one monitor.

Rather than one desktop on two monitors.

Hosch250

Oh, I see.

Not the opposite, the inverse.

Very different.

Following some great advice here from Simon, I realized that I had over-engineered things, and that the Task builder methods were a horrible Java8 abstraxction.

Simon André Forsberg

@rolfl I just read the latest commit you did on github, I like your solution, even if it leads to some duplicated code.

rolfl

I think I will take this one quite seriously (the UBench....) it has potential.

It is simple, but useful....

Do the whole hog thing, put it in maven, etc.

Anyone doing performance tuning at an iterative level, would love a tool that allows such activities.

A single file you can drop in some code base, or a simple maven dependency....

nhgrif

huh?

Simon André Forsberg

yes!

@rolfl Now I will be torn which one to use though, yours or @janos'

rolfl

Mine has the advantage of being Java8 friendly... ;-)

In fact, Java8 dependent.

Simon André Forsberg

12:16 AM

I believe janos' is too.

but that's okay. For tests and benchmarks and stuff, I use Java 8.

I only use Java 6 for Android... and I am not very interested in benchmarking as much there.

rolfl

Janos's relies on annotations... a different strategy entirely

Simon André Forsberg

indeed

I see many advantages of yours now.

Your tool would be much easier to do "parametrized" benchmarking.

Like when I wanted to benchmark my N-Queens solver.

that wasn't nice to do with @janos' library :/

rolfl

Yup, and I would use it again, and again, and again when answering questions here.

THere's the OP's code, and I want a solution that does things faster ;-)

I want a comparative benchmark.

Simon André Forsberg

12:22 AM

although that would be possible with janos' library as well, I find that your library would be even easier to use for that.

rolfl

And you get snarky users saying things like:

I'd love to see you discuss the drawbacks of reading the whole file directly into memory when you propose such a heavy change in the way content is processed. Also these regexes look like you're overly complicating the initial problem :( — Vogel612 Feb 18 at 23:30

Simon André Forsberg

lol, yeah that @Vogel612 can be snarky ;) (JK, Vogel!)

rolfl

I have to run.... kid duty. I am very interested in feedback, again... ;-) Part of the problem is my limited experience with Java8, and missing the 'idiomatic' approach... I think your suggestions lead down the correct path, though

@nhgrif Really?

Phrancis

@DJanssens Anything I can try to help with?

nhgrif

It's more like base-512 really. You can't reference discrete bits individually. You can't access anything more specific than a byte.

DJanssens

let me try somethings more first @Phrancis

Phrancis

12:54 AM

Ok

Hosch250

Well, that is on the hardware side.

nhgrif

Not entirely.

200_success

Maybe, if it doesn't make the help center page too long-winded.

Hosch250

In our languages, we use base-10.

A boolean is base-2.

nhgrif

Because we have 10 fingers.

Hosch250

12:55 AM

Sort of, that is.

nhgrif

A boolean has two states, two possible values.

It's not base-2 though.

Hosch250

Yeah.

nhgrif

A boolean isn't a number. It's not something you can count by.

Hosch250

I think that for computers to really become sentient, they need to have true/maybe/false.

Mehrad

@nhgrif toes are accessible the same amount. Why not 20? I bet when they started this, people didn't wear closed in shoes !

nhgrif

12:56 AM

Why?

mjolka

@Hosch250 you might enjoy this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qubit

nhgrif

You think bits need 3 possible values?

Hosch250

People don't think in true/false.

nhgrif

@Mehrad Counting on your toes is difficult and probably not very socially acceptable.

Hosch250

They think in true/maybe/false.

nhgrif

12:56 AM

I repeat my question: why does the computer need to have bits that think like people.

Hosch250

@mjolka Bookmarked.

I didn't say they have too - they obviously don't have to.

I said to become sentient, they do have to.

Mehrad

@nhgrif since we never did it makes it => difficult & socially unacceptable (to a degree)

200_success

I'll bet that the way individual neurons are activated is very different from the nature of thought.

nhgrif

The only advantage you would gain if an individual bit could hold 3 states is that you might get more available memory...

Hosch250

Personally, I would be scared of a sentient computer.

nhgrif

12:58 AM

But you can use two bits to represent yes/no/indeterminate.

Hosch250

@200_success Well, true.

@nhgrif Well, yes.

nhgrif

One bit represents determined or undetermined, the other represents true/false. The true/false bit only matters if the determined bit is on.

mjolka

@Hosch250 also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-valued_logic

Mehrad

@nhgrif 1/null/0 ?

nhgrif

And plenty of languages like Swift, and VB have "optional" values which are exactly 3-state. True/False/No value.

And SQL bit columns can allow NULL value.

So that's 3-state as well.

Hosch250

12:59 AM

You can set null in every language.

Mehrad

@nhgrif Oh 2 bits... don't need to explain anymore

nhgrif

You can't set null in every language...

And setting null is not the same as an optional variable.

Hosch250

Really?

nhgrif

Well, not exactly.

Hosch250

Well, LOLCODE doesn't let you.

But, you don't consider that a language.

nhgrif

1:00 AM

C doesn't have a bool. But in most languages, bool and other primitives are actually primitive data types.

Hosch250

@nhgrif Yes it does.

nhgrif

That means that the actual value is right there in stack memory.

Mehrad

You can have null-able Boolean in C as well bool? Foo = null

nhgrif

No it doesn't.

Hosch250

Recent versions of C have a bool.

You need to include it in a header file, though.

nhgrif

1:01 AM

Perhaps, but nonetheless.

The real point is primitive data types can't be null in a lot of programming languages.

Hosch250

Not sure about bool, but every other primitive type can be in C++/C# as far as I know.

Mehrad

So does the WPF checkbox has 3 states :)

nhgrif

Except that null is essentially the same as 0... but 0 and null aren't the same thing.

SirPython

@Hosch250 What qualifies something as a programming language, then?

nhgrif

You can't set primitives to NULL in C++.

Hosch250

1:02 AM

@Mehrad Not quite.

nhgrif

The only way is if the language supports optional variables.

Hosch250

null == non existent in a Checkbox.

Mehrad

@Hosch250 check it yourself

@Hosch250 isn't that the 3rd state?

Hosch250

Non-existent is not a state.

nhgrif

Checkboxes commonly support indeterminate. In Windows apps, usually it's empty/checkmark/box

Where the box means in-determinate (neither checked nor unchecked state)

Hosch250

1:03 AM

@nhgrif The only time I've seen the box used is when you choose only some suboptions.

That does not imply non-determinate.

nhgrif

@Hosch250 Just stop. Okay.

Hosch250

It only means partial true, partial false.

nhgrif

You can set up a checkbox to allow 3 states.

Mehrad

"IsThreeState
Three

The CheckBox optionally supports three states."

Three-valued logic

In logic, a three-valued logic (also trivalent, ternary, trinary logic, or trilean, sometimes abbreviated 3VL) is any of several many-valued logic systems in which there are three truth values indicating true, false and some indeterminate third value. This is contrasted with the more commonly known bivalent logics (such as classical sentential or Boolean logic) which provide only for true and false. Conceptual form and basic ideas were initially created by Jan Łukasiewicz and C. I. Lewis. These were then re-formulated by Grigore Moisil in an axiomatic algebraic form, and also extended to n-valued...

200_success

1:08 AM

Yes, it's working. The issue is whether it's code review or code understanding.

nhgrif

var hasTwoStates: Bool = true
var hasThreeStates: Bool? = nil

The first variable can only be true or false. You cannot set it to nil. The second can have true, false, or nil.

Mehrad

**Concede**: admit or agree that something is **true** after first denying or resisting it.
I would when you find a word which agrees to Maybe ;)

Hosch250

Feature request:

Don't ping me when a message is edited.

nhgrif

In C++:

std::optional<bool> hasThreeStates;

Phrancis

@Hosch250 That would be nice indeed

Hosch250

1:10 AM

Sure would.

I knew you would ping me twice.

nhgrif

But in C++, bool b = false; can't have 3 states. It can only be either true or false.

Mehrad

@nhgrif bool? b

Phrancis

Seriously though Hosch maybe you should request it on Meta.SE, I feel sure you're not the first one to ~~get annoyed by~~ notice it

nhgrif

The syntax is std::optional<bool> b as far as I know.

But I'm not a C++ programmer.

Hosch250

@Phrancis Later.

nhgrif

1:12 AM

In Swift, it'd be: var b: Bool?

Mehrad

@Phrancis I'd say there is an intention behind it. You are getting pinged for some new message literately which might not carry the same meaning.

Hosch250

@Mehrad I've never seen the message change substantially.

Phrancis

That might indeed be by-design

Hosch250

It gets really old when you get pinged 4 times for one message.

It isn't by design.

nhgrif

Just turn the sound off?

Hosch250

1:14 AM

Mehrad

Hosch250

Then I won't get the ping when I'm not watching the tab.

I don't have a 2nd monitor, you know...

nhgrif

There's a difference between int? i = null; and int i = null; I don't know if the latter is legal in C# (to assign an int to null but you can do something similar in VB.NET, I believe).

Mehrad

You got he point @Hosch250. I type fast and I do edits a lot. and lots of them aren't that big of a difference in the overall meaning. but sometimes they can be

nhgrif

Arguably, a non-optional should never be null.

And actually, Swift enforces this. Only optional types (even reference types (classes)) can be assigned to nil.

Mehrad

1:18 AM

@nhgrif Cannot convert null to 'int' because it is a non-nullable value type if you do the second one.

Hosch250

I don't even see how this is relevant to answering a question:

> Saying “thanks” is appreciated, but it doesn’t answer the question. Instead, vote up the answers that helped you the most! If these answers were helpful to you, please consider saying thank you in a more constructive way – by contributing your own answers to questions your peers have asked here.

Hosch250

This is very SO-ish:

Help us find a solution by researching the problem, then contribute the results of your research and anything additional you’ve tried as a partial answer. That way, even if we can’t figure it out, the next person has more to go on. You can also vote up the question or set a bounty on it so the question gets more attention.

Mehrad

@nhgrif afaik, you can null the instance in initiation if it's a reference type not a value type. and if value type you gotta go with the null-able version with ? mark

Hosch250

And this:

> Read the question carefully. What, specifically, is the question asking for? Make sure your answer provides that – or a viable alternative. The answer can be “don’t do that”, but it should also include “try this instead”. Any answer that gets the asker going in the right direction is helpful, but do try to mention any limitations, assumptions or simplifications in your answer. Brevity is acceptable, but fuller explanations are better.

nhgrif

1:20 AM

Comparitively, Swift would disallow: var object: MyClass = nil <-- object is of type MyClass, not MyClass?. It's not an optional type, so it can't be nil.

Even though MyClass is a class and object is a reference type.
