Ah, I only know one of my colleague's account, and he has 300 rep on SO
nowhere near those figures :P
 
@Quill My colleagues are just lurkers, I doubt they even have an account.
 
@nhgrif I actually laughed, wow
 
Well, one of them does. But the other 6 of my direct colleagues probably don't.
 
Me, at almost 20k. The guy who sits next to me has 16.7k, and a guy in the TN office with 13k
 
10:02 PM
@nhgrif They still haven't joined CR?
 
Speaking of, @nhgrif, you running for mod?
 
I will probably at least run. We'll see.
@Mast Maybe they'll join Monday to vote for me...?
 
@nhgrif They'll need 150 rep to vote.
 
Do they have to have it before Monday?
 
No, just before the voting deadline.
 
10:04 PM
@Mast That's really only one good question, (with the cross site rep)
 
They get 100 for free, so they need 50 points.
 
Or one good answer
 
That's doable in a day with a good question.
 
They need 49 points.
 
I'm not sure whether the assoc bonus counts...
 
10:04 PM
I think it does for the 150 rep.
 
If my coworkers are jealous, it would be because of the weekly average rep column, by the way.
One of them started SO in March 2010. The other in August 2010. I started in September 2013...
 
@nhgrif So?
My first two years one SO were as lurker.
 
They had a 3/3.5 year head start, and they're collecting lots of rep on old questions with tons of views.

@Mast 'Night!

2 more hours until I get [badge:fanatic]
 
This question has been around too long, so I put a bounty on it
 
Wow, there are a lot of featured questions lately.
 
Hey @nhgrif, the company I work for has a meeting with contract app devs today, I'm going (don't ask why, because I don't know), is there a #SpecialTrick to these?
 
What?
Your company has another company doing contract development work?
And you're meeting with them?
 
10:15 PM
We're not a contract company, we work on our site
 
@nhgrif Uhh....
Err...
SO Rangers!
 
10:29 PM
Is the following a PHP or jQuery question?

Q: Smarter Boostrap Affix

ThomasReggiThe normal boostrap affix doesn't take the items natural offset top position into account, you have to manually pass it in as an attribute. This takes care of that, and accounts for the offset top changing on window resize. var $attribute = $('[data-smart-affix]'); $attribute.each(function(){ ...

 
@Quill JQuery/JS question
 
Jamal put the PHP tag, but the twitter-bootstrap tag says that it's a front-end framework
@EthanBierlein lol
 
There, I've edited it.
 
I saw
 
I wonder why @Jamal put php there.
 
10:30 PM
Me too
It's edited now, so we're all good
 
He must've been confused with all the $ everywhere
 
PHP developers obviously are the worst paid. That's why they put money every where. Dreamin'.

@nhgrif That's why I do at work, at home (joking, it's cause I fell into this job)

A: Get list from database in 3 layer model

nhgrifWell, you were right to think you are wrong. We shouldn't need to instantiate an object with an empty constructor to something like this. This is exactly what the Shared keyword is for. First, make your getAllPatientsInList function Shared: Public Shared Function GetAllPatients() As List(Of P...

The gist of the answer: Shared is to as static is to almost every other programming language. Also, I can answer questions.
Also, we may have a new site record. This question has been posted for 7 hours and no one has commented about using namespace std; yet (and he even has it in there twice).
 
10:43 PM
> We shouldn't need to do instantiate an object ...
Perhaps, 'We shouldn't need to instantiate an object' instead?
 
Asking for opinion is a basis of closure, though the question does seem interesting. You might want to reconstruct it like "How to reduce verbosity" or something. And I think this question is better fit in CodeReview SE. — Joseph the Dreamer just now

@Duga Of all users... a 7k user on CR?
 
Free flag for opinion based.
 
10:49 PM
@janos, I saw the answer, thanks, give it seven days, and you'll probably get the bounty
 
@nhgrif pffftttt if With blocks aren't magic, idk what is.
 
@RubberDuck They're not. These are just autoreleasepools, basically...
 
Did I forget to use the sarcasm font?
 
Yes.
Actually, they are slightly nicer than auto release pool.
 
Is the on 2nd monitor new?
 
10:52 PM
It's the one feature of the language I have a real love hate relationship with.

A: Prepared statement inside function that then return results

QuillTo begin, your indentation is a little off at places, such as in the while loop in the second code block, or the return statement in the first. It looks like you keep o.checkout as an integers like the = '0' suggests, but use strings, as the '' suggests. If you do measure solely in integers, y...

 
11:14 PM
@Quill I believe I just said "You might want to reconstruct it like 'How to reduce verbosity'", and given code (which I believe he has, but didn't post yet), if he did that on CodeReview, that would be perfectly fine. — Joseph the Dreamer 43 secs ago
 
I wrote 4 answers today. That's my new record.
 
I'm on 9 atm
 
@JosephtheDreamer You said "And I think this question is better fit in CodeReview SE." It's not a fit for Code Review at all, and cannot even begin to approach a fit until it actually contains concrete implemented, real, non-example code. As for this questions' fit for Stack Overflow? I've voted to close as primarily opinion based. — nhgrif 28 secs ago
 
Thanks @nhgrif
 
@Demyanov By the way, in the future, questions like these should probably be asked on Code Review if the code already works beforehand (after reading the help center guidelines, of course). — Anonymous 28 secs ago
@Anonymous, OP is asking for feature implementation, which is strictly off-topic on Code Review, see How-To Ask for more information. — Quill just now
 
11:25 PM
@Duga That was speedy quick fast
 
@Quill Given that the user already linked to the Code Review help center, I might reword your last bit of your comment...
It seems somewhere between copy-pasta-spam and "I didn't read all of your comment."
 
@nhgrif Sure
 
When people at least link to the help center, I tend to cut them some slack on their comment.
 
I believe that this post is off-topic. I played around with the stack snippet and the code always printed undefined for the values I passed into the form.
 
Hello @Phrancis
 
11:29 PM
@SirPython Do you know enough about JavaScript to know whether it's the code that's broken or if it's just the stack snippet? (I wouldn't be able to tell the difference).
 
@nhgrif Looking at the code, I see a few places where it is broken.
 
@Anonymous, Currently, OP is asking for feature implementation, which is strictly off-topic on Code Review, however, with some working code as you've pointed out, It'd be on-topic. — Quill 4 mins ago
 
The biggest one is, when he calls his main function, he isn't passing any arguments to it, even though it requires arguments.
 
Hey @EthanBierlein, want something to do?
 
Doesn't he have entirely working code? The problem isn't with the code, but rather with the plain-English feature request?
 
11:30 PM
@Quill Hmm, interesting.
 
@Quill Maybe I misunderstood? I read the "I wonder whether there is a simpler version of the implementation of this algorithm." part specifically and thought that it would make more sense there since it seems to be a problem of code optimization. In the on-topic section, it seems to say that "Best practices and design pattern usage" are on-topic "for feedback on a specific working piece of code from your project". Clearly, you would know better than me what is off-topic, but I just don't understand why you believe so. — Anonymous 57 secs ago
 
@SirPython You're welcome to vote to close.
 
@EthanBierlein HELLO
 
@Phrancis HELLO
 
@Phrancis HELLO
 
11:34 PM
You'd be correct, it seems, thank for you reading the on-topic section, and help center guidelines. OP, feel free to take this to Code Review if you please. — Quill 47 secs ago
 
Remind me not to have anything to do with @Duga's SO content again
 
Don't have anything to do with @Duga's content.
Responding to @Duga requires a pretty decent working knowledge of both SO and CR, to be honest.
 
@nhgrif And a pretty large patience buffer

A: Efficient Strip Special Characters

QuillRegex101.com seems to think you can simply combine \s{2,} and [\t\n] into \s{2,}[\t\n] and it should have the same effect: $string = preg_replace(array('/\s{2,}/', '/[\t\n]/'), ' ', $string); into: $string = preg_replace('/\s{2,}[\t\n]/', ' ', $string); You should add whitespace between...

 
in Discussion between Trappar and nhgrif on Stack Overflow Chat, 1 min ago, by Trappar
Haha, this is a pointless discussion. If my question isn't right for stack overflow it is purely because of people like you who are so caught up in the meta of this site that they can't see the plain english sitting in front of their face.
 
11:40 PM
This post is off-topic for broken code.
 
I pinged you once today. Once
 
Lol
 
You don't have to respond to the pings.
 
I didn't realize that you'd left.
 
@QPaysTaxes I think that was me, actually
 
11:42 PM
No, no I didn't.
 
Knock it off...?
 
Feel free to post the chat post here
 
Knock if off?

@rolfl ?
 
D'aw?
 
Ah, forget it. Sorry.
 
11:43 PM
Ban hammer incoming
Ughh, my project's namespace isn't found
gotta love fresh installed machines ;-P
 
@QPaysTaxes I'm gonna past the update soon. Not much better, I'm afraid.
 
@QPaysTaxes please chill out... Whatever is frustrating you, leave it out of here
 
Adding onto what nhgrif said, Or even open a temporary room, or the cactus room (nobody visits often, and you're a room owner)
 
Please VTC this post because it is off-topic for broken code.
