Rolfl is right. This room has gotten a lot more quiet.

I don't see this as a bad thing either

having multiple active chatrooms might work too

I've been more active in VBA Rubberducking than The 2nd Monitor for quite a while

I blame rubberduck-vba though

Mat's Mug

12:38 AM

ah crap, I found a way to write compilable VBA code that breaks the Rubberduck resolver.

I swear, this compiles:

Sub Foo()
    Dim Foo As New Foo
    With Foo
        With .Foo
            .Foo = 42
        End With
        Bar .Foo.Foo
    End With
End Sub

still not ready for review

oh damn

wasn't running the 1.4.1 build. it works!

I am currently working on an implementation of SoundCloud for a 3rd party iOS app, and as there is no SDK anymore I am doing all my calls via Alamofire. This is what SC expects you to send in your body params: { "playlist": {"tracks":[ {"id":"__"}, {"id":"__"}, {"...

Q: C++ Gdiplus Image Wrapper

I have been having major problems lately with pointers (not this part, couldn't even test it,) So I was wondering is this an alright design? Anywhere a bitmap pointer is needed I just use the get. I would normally not ask this, but if I swap an old bitmap with a new, it crashes, could that be a r...

Donald.McLean

What bragging rights?

Ethan Bierlein

The fact that we have enough users willing/able to become moderators.

Mat's Mug

to be fair, preliminaries would only be cherry on top.

it's the vote count we're really after

Q: What are the best practices for Various ways to achieve the same result using LINQ with my code example

This code works as intended, however, I am sure that there is a way to condense the xmldataLoad() method.

@CaptainObvious Remove most of those usings!

@Mat'sMug Other than clean code, does not having unnecessary usings reduce processing/linking time?

I assume the compile removes the unneeded ones?

yeah

if I change Sub for Function here, all Foo's resolve as references to the function.

I blame VBA

because assigning a function's return value is done by assigning the identifier of the function

When in doubt, blame caching or VBA.

If you have working code and want to improve it, Code Review is usually a good place to go. Also, when you do var sumAlert = sumSupport = sumCashout = sumPhone = 0, you're (unintentionally?) declaring the last 3 variables globally. — Stryner 1 min ago

I could always insert a clock that ticks backwards if I want to make things more interesting for future maintainers

That's evil.

Although there is probably a use case for it, somewhere.

Still evil.

How many issues would it create? :D

Nobody will suspect a clock ticking the wrong way.

May be a nice tactic for an obfuscation contest though, it's not an often used trick I can imagine.
