on the crappy templates it doesn't do that on Mobile, but on the good ones it does....ugh!
meeting
 
Cup<T> - nice!
 
I managed to get a decent grade on my OS exam. I was also one of the few in the class who answered the banker's algorithm section perfectly.
 
reads "Cup of T"
not my cup of tea though
 
@Mat'sMug cup it out, Mat.
 
4:04 PM
Also, I'm one-away here (for first Good Question badge).
 
@Lyle'sMug Doesn't really surprise me. Though it might not be enough of a big deal to worry much about; perhaps once you have enough traffic to justify, you can upgrade to one of the better templates.
 
@Jamal Take it
 
:-)
 
I noticed that some assembly code looks like French: je print_fizzbuzz

@sᴉɔuɐɹɥԀ uh-huh..
 
@Duga Nope
 
@Jamal Beat me to it ;p
 
Nomking all
 
Of course. Build comes to London, Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin but Brussels was apparently a little too much. build15.com
Don't they know the extra cost from crossing the border?! Belgians are always disadvantaged
 
@Jamal 666 views!
 
4:12 PM
It's like we're being avoided
 
Now it's 667. :D
 
@Jamal The question is nuked, partially by the OP himself...
 
@JeroenVannevel stop crying ;-)
TTGH
 
Now I just have one more (tough) Unix assignment and then it's just finals. I do hope to do more Unix programming now that I have a suitable virtual machine.
 
Virtual? You didn't dare to dual-boot?
 
4:19 PM
I don't feel the need to. I would only be using it to write a little code. Plus, it's kinda nice to use Vagrant to compile on Fedora while editing on an IDE in Windows.
 
I can imagine. It can be a nuisance to switch back and forth from OS.
On the other hand, it forces me to focus on one thing at a time.
No more 100+ tabs open in Firefox
 
That would kill my laptop. :-) I've only had, like, no more than 30-40 open at once.

Q: Quicksort Algorithm Efficiency

IHazABoneI've just tried my hand at Quicksort, and I seem to have gotten it working (thanks to Stack Overflow). However, is it "true" Quicksort? And is it decently written? public static void sort(List<Integer> arr, int left, int right) { int i = left - 1; int j = right + 1; if (r...

The joy of 8GB RAM, almost infinite tabs
 
@CaptainObvious Why are you asking us, CO? Ask SO.
@Mast I have half of that, but I think merely having it hooked up to a 1920x1080 monitor is enough to heat it up after a while.
 
4:27 PM
@Mast +1. 8 GB RAM is quite nice indeed, that's what I have on my MB laptop too
 
I got my laptop on April Fools's Day (lol) about two or three years ago. I'm one of the lucky ones to have had HP laptops that haven't crapped out within a year.
 
HP... ew...
 
My old rig got kind of toasted and I was in need of a laptop for quite a while. Decided to combine the two and get a decent laptop.
Had an Acer once, pure horror. Now my wife and I both have ASUS, runs without trouble
 
Maybe this question is a good candidate to the CodeReview site: codereview.stackexchange.com ? — JFPicard 1 min ago
 
@Duga Still nope
 
4:32 PM
@Mast I heard Lenovo also make nice laptops, though they're a bit higher price. Guess that should be expected for a better machine.
 
I had a Lenovo once, for a week.
Do I need to continue?
 
Yikes
Lemon? :p
 
Video chip was toast on delivery
Oh well, DoA still happens every now and then, they should test their garbage instead of shipping it
 
Ah. Probably not Lenovo's fault, they didn't manufacture the video chip most likely
 
Still, it was a very obvious error
I think I still got the screenshot somewhere
Might even be a broken cable
Didn't know, didn't care. Darn thing was brand new.
Gimme my money!
 
4:41 PM
@Mast Huh, that's weird looking
 
It's the bottom part of the screen, located on top. Not sure where the top went.
 
Here is a program which computes the decimal expansion of a fraction and detects repeating decimals. It is written in Java, but perhaps you can use the ideas. — Martin R 57 secs ago

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it should be on codereview.stackexchange.com. — Pointy 37 secs ago
 
I have an HP, and @JeroenVannevel uses HP's. I really love my machine.
 
4:53 PM
Never had an HP
 
I've always been suspicious of Lenovo since I found they are run by the Chinese State, and I'm really suspicious of them since Superfish was caught.
I've had my computer for +- 2.5 years.
 
Ah well, they are usually decent machines, but you never know indeed
 
Nope.
If I had a design, I think I'd go into the computer business.
I've thought of software, computers, ISP, server system...
I guess I'm an entrepreneur at heart :)
 
@Duga ... Maybe... I guess it would be on-topic here? Not a very interesting question IMO.
 
Not to derail the conversation, but why are we talking to chat bots? It isn't like they're responding.
 
4:56 PM
Sometimes they do.
 
If the code works as intended, and you are looking for improvements, you are welcome to delete the question here, and post it to Code Review instead. — Phrancis 28 secs ago
 
@Hosch250 If you're going to be suspicious about manufacturers having state involvement then a US-based company is not exactly the best choice
 
@Mast We normally "reply" to chat bots, so others in the room can see which message we are addressing (or "tagging")
 
I guess...
 
@JeroenVannevel Good point
@sᴉɔuɐɹɥԀ Makes sense, I guess

Q: Run the SQL query at the cursor's current position

akappelI wrote this script to save time when running the various SQL queries I create every day. Before this script, if I had multiple queries written in the same window, I would have to manually highlight the one I wanted to run and then press F5. Now, a simple press of F5 with the cursor on any line o...

 
@Mast It didn't end up well
 
5:08 PM
If the drive isn't encrypted, you might be able to fix it with a pendrive
 
We ended up reinstalling it
Mainly Gitlab, Jenkins and Apache were on it so far
The setup was far from ideal, so we may as well fix that right now
 
Looks like the Code Prettify for is broken.
 
We were at the point where sudo lost its permissions
 
@skiwi Ah well, gives you the opportunity to do it right
I lost most of a server last weekend
 
@Mast Is there a story behind it?
 
5:11 PM
rm -rf wrong file
actually, wrong directory
 
Our story was that we were having issues with permissions in Jenkins, more specifically Latex didn't seem to be able to read a .sty package, so we were like, oh well, we just give everyone read access on all files, that must surely solve it!
Been never so wrong.
 
well, actually giving the permissions might not have been such a problem
 
Why are you using the command line to delete instead of the GUI? I've read so many horror stories about that...
 
what's a GUI?
 
It can't be any faster, because you have to type the directory/file path.
Graphical User Interface.
 
5:13 PM
@Hosch250 I type faster than I click
Also, command line can be scripted, so the moment you realize you're doing something repeatedly, you put it in a .sh
 
Then, you have to check the path to make sure you didn't make any mistakes, while with a GUI, you are at the right place if you find the file/directory.
 
That's a matter of ordering wisely, which is never a bad idea
 
I've never had to delete a file so often it would be faster to have a script.
But, I've never used a server.
Or LaTeX.
 
deleting is a bad example, you never do that repeatedly unless it are temporary files from some generator
 
OK.
Now, I have deleted files from the command line myself, just to see it work.
 
5:16 PM
but my current assignment is to communicate from two different laptops with a server which is the client for two different servers
 
I just find it easier to make mistakes that way.
 
it takes some getting used to indeed, and even experts make mistakes every now and then
 
Which version of Linux are you using?
I've been told that Ubuntu has a good GUI.
 
On the moment, Ubuntu 14.04
 
Does it have a good GUI?
 
5:18 PM
Before that it was OpenSuse 12 and 13
 
@Hosch250 what do you hope to accomplish by using Linux?
 
Yea, they all have a decent GUI
 
I want to get a bit of experience with it seeing as a good many places use it.
Maybe practice writing portable C++ too.
 
How are you going to get good Linux experience if your primary deciding factor is "does it have a good gui?"
 
Well, even the command line is a GUI...
I don't want a fuzzy, poorly-rendered one.
 
5:22 PM
That's not what you are asking though
 
Then what am I asking?
 
If you're asking whether most Linux distros can render full-HD nowadays, yes they can
 
OK, thanks.
 
Btw, running command line scripts is faster than UI operations.
 
Maybe, I've not found it that way.
 
5:23 PM
Pipes are awesome as well
You can send the output from one program in a new program in a new program
 
That's because, @Hosch250, you have what counts as no command line experience. You can get some though... Without leaving windows.
 
It probably is if you have them in a file ready to be used.
 
Write some actual powershell scripts.
 
@Hosch250 You don't need files for that
You use the output from one command as the input for the next
 
OK, question is, what should the scripts do?
@Mast @Mast I wasn't talking about the pipes.
 
5:26 PM
Say you want to delete all files older than a certain date in a specific directory.
 
Hmm, no, I don't.
 
Doing this in GUI requires sorting by date and hoping your eyes don't deceive you.
Or delete all files with a certain extension.
 
I see what you mean.
 
Or unzip all .zip files in a directory.
 
Yeah, I just don't do that.
I know.
I'll write a script to auto-install my updates/programs after I reset my computer.
 
5:27 PM
Or turn a directory of directories into a zipped folder per directory.
 
Now, I do that once a semester as I finish classes.
 
And if you want one .zip per class, you have to do it one at a time. A script could do one per class automatically assuming the classes already had their own directories.
 
But seriously, I would probably write a quick C# program instead of a Powershell.
 
Why?
 
@Hosch250 Ever used Python?
 
5:30 PM
Yeah, but at 5 classes a semester, it doesn't take long...
I don't finish them all at the same time anyway.
@Mast Yeah, I have it in right now.
@nhgrif Because I know C# and I don't know Powershell.
 
you are just missing the point...
 
Bash and Python are fairly similar
 
At least, I sort of know C#.
@nhgrif OK, explain the point, and I won't interrupt.
 
I'm on my phone.
 
OK.

Q: Checking in a dynamic SQL if I need to add Where clause

korimaI have a class FindPostsByCriteriaDbCommand which reads on a database the posts I specify by a search criteria encapsulated on PostsSearchCriteria. This class, is a data class like Posts or Author with methods that only do soft works like little validations and set or get properties. class Posts...

 
I need to have lunch anyway, be back shortly.
 
That you don't need these specific examples though doesn't make them real examples.
Err. Doesn't make them non-real
 
I understand that.
 
@CaptainObvious Is this C#, or perhaps LINQ? It certainly doesn't look like SQL. At least, as far as the code goes.
 
I have, for example, written programs to modify all the files in a certain directory.
I wrote one to get the size of all images in a directory.
So, I see where scripts would be useful, but I just use C# instead.
Or C++, or whatever I'm using at the moment.
 
5:34 PM
Right tool for the right job, @Hosch250.
 
Ah well, a sledgehammer is also a hammer
 
If the car won't start, don't call the plumber. Sure, it may be that it's out of gas and the plumber can fill it up... But next time, what if it's something the plumber can't do? Or what if it's something the plumber does in 2 weeks and charges you $1000 but the mechanic would've done in 1hr for $50?

@sᴉɔuɐɹɥԀ it's not PHP or is it? ????? What the....
I didn't know that you could classify classes and functions like that in PHP
 
Git Bash is a good "workaround" for "using" "Linux" "in" Windows though
@Lyle'sMug PHP isn't that bad
 
@skiwi Sure? You can do some pretty awful stuff with PHP.
It's still not Javascript, but hey, what is.
 
5:46 PM
@skiwi it just looks exactly like the user took some C# code and added dollar signs to the variables to make it PHP....
the formatting is all off and I thought that every php file was a class and that you didn't have to specify the class block
 
@Mast Not claiming PHP is anything close to being close to being at least a somewhat decent language though
 
@skiwi Just HTML on steroids
Nothing more, nothing less
 
I dislike mixing languages in the same "format"
Same reason I don't really like server-side templating languages
Writing loops with directives/tags is ugly
 
@skiwi Yea, if a user wants style, he'll have to pay for it with CPU
Not let the server do the dirty work
 
ReactJS (which we're using for the university project) also worries me a bit, as you are returning DOM elements using JavaScript
 
5:50 PM
Currently using NodeJS
It's awful, but since JSON is the name of the game, it's kind of the way to go
 
@Mast HTML/JavaScript Crossing the line between Client and Server
 
AngularJS on the other hand seems to be fine, a HTML-based model with attributes on existing tags to get filled with data, and no mixing of html/javascript/server-side
@Mast Is it really awful? I've considered it, but I think Python 3 is more sane than JavaScript
 
I don't like Angular
 
Any reasons for that? I'm currently probably going to use it for one of my own projects, but haven't started yet
 
Python is better than JS, but for what I'm doing with it, Python might not be the best choice
Angular is from Google, right?
 
5:52 PM
Yeah
 
If we don't trust Lenovo because it's Chinese, well, you get the picture
Google isn't China
But both can't be trusted
 
I don't see how that's relevant in a client-side framework
And I would be screwed anyway with my Lenovo laptop :p
 
My project is to connect stuff to the internet
I'm server side, not client side
Using a Google framework to connect Industrial information to the internet is like giving them your password in my opinion...
 
AngularJS wouldn't work either way
Using software of big companies may indeed not be optimal there
 
I'd prefer to throw everything in Python and Twisted
 
5:57 PM
@sᴉɔuɐɹɥԀ Sorry. It's PHP. I put SQL as tag because it was a topic about SQL construction. Maybe I selected a wrong tag name. And thanks for your welcome words! :) — korima 20 mins ago
 
So, anyone experience with a low-level framework for low-speed CPU? I'm open for something better than JS
 
Ruby? Python? C?
 
@Mast Why exactly was Python not an option?
 
With JSON as a requirement, NodeJS was a more obvious choice than Python
Besides that, it will have to be modified and maintained by many people and there are more people writing JS than Python
 
@sᴉɔuɐɹɥԀ were you aware of CHECK constraints? Just added one to a table.
 
6:03 PM
So we kind of hoped NodeJS would be our holy grail, but guess what, it isn't
 
@nhgrif I've heard the word before, but never looked into it.
What did you use it for, out of curiosity?
 
@Lyle'sMug @skiwi We tried C#/.NET since it can handle JSON very well and the client side will probably be written in that, but it feels to heavy and is awful to get working on Linux-based systems. I'll probably have to make an overview why what languages have been considered and didn't make it, might as well do it first thing tomorrow.
 
@Mast I'm not so sure, Python should do very well with JSON I think
 
@Mast Visual Studios is now open source, you may be able to run Visual Studios 2015(?) on Linux
 
@skiwi Or you could just use JavaScript!
 
6:11 PM
@Lyle'sMug Why VS?
 
VS will run C++ C VB and C# among other .NET framework languages, including IronPython I think
 
VB deserves to die
My C++ is rusty, but that could actually work with the right framework
 
wipes sweat of forehead, GitLab is back online
 
cheers
 
@Mast how about VBA?
 
6:14 PM
I'm too lazy to figure out the last names of all my group members, so I named them all "Please Update", that will make them update their account info!
2
 
@Mat'sMug Used it a couple of times in Excel, apart from that
 
(I only had the usernames (and actual git repos) as backup somewhere, hence I don't have more than the username lol)
 
I'll have to remember that trick
 
@Mast if you ever need to write solid VBA code, you'll appreciate what Rubberduck can do for you. I hope lives on, just so I can keep working on that project :)
@Mast ha! that ASCII elephant is awesome!
 
Thanks :)
 
6:23 PM
@sᴉɔuɐɹɥԀ you don't want to know... It's a bit hacky... But you can use it to specify something like a columns values must be between 0 and 100
A date must be after now
Date must be before now, etc
 
@nhgrif Input validation
 
OK makes sense
// Which of these is most common/preferable?
var object1 = {
    word: "foo",
    id: 1
};

var object2 = {};
object2.word = "bar";
object2.id = 2;
 
in other words, if you ever feel like implementing business rules and business logic into your database, there's CHECK CONSTRAINT for that. Related: CREATE TRIGGER.
 
Shouldn't such logic be client side?
 
^^ that
 
6:29 PM
@Mast I'd say
But, probably, unless the whole system is very reliant on SQL functions for its logic, which is possible
 
I prefer to write it just once in the client side. There's not much value in verifying things twice and it's more likely to annoy you by becoming outdated
But how else will you keep your DBA busy
4
 
@sᴉɔuɐɹɥԀ Top one, always, is what I would say
 
I agree with skiwi here
2
 
In secure systems I'd write validation on the DB side just to be sure entered data is sane, then I'd have a server-side validation layer to display nice error messages and have a client-side validation that prevents them from entering data (if used by a normal person on a normal browser)
@Mat'sMug Good, we have that on the sidebar now!

Q: General purpose input validation GUI

CaridorcI decided to build a GUI that would seemlessly create user interfaces for validation functions, functions that check if a string satisfies given rules. An example 'hello, world!' usage is: from gui_validation import gui_validation def is_valid_salutation(salutation): """ Salutations to...

 
6:33 PM
It depends on the kind of system you're building ofc, financial systems need multiple layers of security
 
if it's well done, fine. but my experience has been that you have to scan through hundreds of thousands of lines of code, and then scan through hundreds of stored procedures and functions, only to find out that your bug was caused by an undocumented trigger.
 
Oh, yea, you should always document such behaviour
Who expects validation in the DB itself after all
 
I would :o (but I'm a bit biased, admittedly)
 
So give it some !!EXCLAMATION!! marks in your docs
 
nobody reads the docs. predecessor smoked 'em.
3
 
6:44 PM
There are two possibilities here.
1) There are no docs to read because the predecessor smoked them.
2) The predecessor was an iconic failure, and everyone else has taken warning by their example.
 
3) all of the above. except the "everyone else has taken warning" part
 
4) The predecessor was high and didn't write docs
 
To make it a good quiz:
5) None of the above.
 
6) Some of the above
(not all)
 
7) No clue.
 
6:46 PM
@Mast Invalid answer for a quiz, it should be "Both A and B"
 
8) 42.
 
Problem is, you're going to have to double check things anyway.
 
@skiwi Automatic class failure.
 
Oh well
 
@Mast There were docs originally.
 
6:47 PM
@Hosch250 nobody knows
 
9) Trick question, answer unknown.
 
Like, I open a form to edit a record... No matter how many times I check the db to verify no one else has modified it for something, they always could have modified it between client sending and db receiving
 
There's only the idea of documentation.
 
I'm taking my doggie on a walk, see you.
 
@nhgrif isn't this what record locks are for?
 
6:49 PM
10) am I missing some sort of number-fest?
2
 
11    GoTo 10
 
12) A dinosaur passes by
 
^^ code is heuristically unreacheable
 
@Mat'sMug this is more like "I can't modify rows in table a with a foreign key to table b if their exists a specific type of row in table c with a foreign key to table b also.
Before A gets inserts/updates, it must check C.
 
I'd put that under data integrity rules -> belongs in the db

These aren't the tables you're looking for.

My Twitter feed is swamped by all the .NET devs talking about Build 2015
I'm so envious right now..
Next year I'm beating my employer with a wrench until he sponsors me to go there
 
Why?

Why?
 
Because it looks really interesting
 
7:38 PM
Why does Build 2015 look interesting?
 
@JeroenVannevel I sense a smell of disagreement
 
I'm completely missing why everyone is so fanatic about it, so I'm hoping you can explain
It's not a matter of disagreement, it's about not getting it
 
Well, I'm looking forward towards seeing Windows 10 apps
And I expect a lot of information on ASP.NET 5
 
@Mast I think it's a Microsoft fanboy thing ;)
 
I'm looking forward to Win8.1 being replaced, does that count?
 
7:41 PM
I will certainly watch WWDC, but I don't feel any need to actually be there.
 
and Cross Platform .NET -- I want to see that too
 
It already exists, it's just a pain in the behind to get working
 
I'm not talking about Mono
 
Isn't that the base of Mono and Xamarin?
 
.NET itself is going cross platform
 
7:43 PM
Cross as in multiple or as in everything?
 
In the past few weeks I've seen reports that they got basic .NET apps working on Mac and FreeBSD
Very little chance that Visual Studio becomes cross platform though, that stinks

I would never want to use visual studio on a Mac if I didn't have to
Visual studio just doesn't hold its own against Xcode.
 
Is Xcode that good?
 
I mean, it has its problems--all IDEs do. But it's better than VS.
 
7:47 PM
Never programmed on a Mac
 
I have less crashes in Xcode than VS, by far.
 
Eclipse seems pretty powerful too. Not sure if you could do anything .NET or Mac-specific with it, though.
 
Can't get used to eclipse for some reason
 
Eclipse is a distant third to both VS and Xcode.
 
If you want to train for code reviews, you can always become a code reviewer on Code Review - that site isn't about fixing code issues though, it's about taking working code and making it better, more maintainable, secure, performant, etc. Try it, it's a pleasantly different experience ;) — Mat's Mug 15 secs ago

@Mat'sMug Take a shitload of upvotes
 
I've never had to change the directory my Xcode project was in to get Xcode to open it without crashing. I can't say the same for Visual Studio.
 
That sounds like a weird issue - I've never had it.
 
And Xcode lets me set symbolic break points, which I can't do with Visual Studio.
 
VS never crashed here...
 
VS mainly crashes for me when I drag files into the solution explorer and have VS put it in the directory.

I'm working on a 1.7 million LoC ERP project.
 
@nhgrif What's a symbolic break point? A break point which is there only as a gesture of good faith?
 
It breaks based on a "symbol"
 
Yeah, I'm working on a what is probably couple hundred-1K line Universal app.
 
I can break any time a method called fooBarMethod is called on any object...
 
Wouldn't putting a breakpoint on the first line of that function do the same?

It could be different methods.
If I have two unrelated classes with the same method name, for example.
And I can break it one step earlier. Before the method enters.
 
Ah, so you could throw break points on all constructors at once for example?
 
Yes
And I can break on a method that's in a library which I don't have the source for
 
Like when you call a third party API?
I could see some use for that when developing client applications
