8:00 PM

TTGH ..... I am off.... have a good weekend, all.

@rolfl You too! :)

I just realized that the launcher for my VS2015 install says, "Start Experimental Instance of Visual Studio 2015". That's not a warm-fuzzy.

Hosch250

The modern console displays fuzzy on my device, so I still use the legacy one.

@EBrown You should have installed the express version or the community edition.

You need a key to run the Pro version.

EBrown

@Hosch250 It's Enterprise 2015.

@Hosch250 I have one.

Hosch250

OK, start it up.

When you start it, it will prompt you for the key.

Ethan Bierlein

I can't remember, but doesn't the community edition only allow for one hour of build time per day, or something like that?

EBrown

8:04 PM

I think it's because it's the x64 version.

Mast

@rolfl Good weekend to you too!

Hosch250

If it doesn't, you can activate it from one of the menus, Help, or something.

Mast

@EthanBierlein What? That's an awful restriction.

Hosch250

I need to go now - still have to take my dog on a walk and write a paper or two today.

Vogel612

@Mast WHO AWAKENS ME FROM MY SLUMBER?

Hosch250

8:05 PM

@EthanBierlein I don't think so.

Mast

@Vogel612 Hans is back!

EBrown

@EthanBierlein See visualstudio.com/en-us/products/…

I see no such restriction.

Jeroen Vannevel

I like --save-dev

I don't think I can do that with NuGet

which is a shame

EBrown

@JeroenVannevel Which does?

Jeroen Vannevel

Save a dependency for just development

aka: not distribution

EBrown

8:08 PM

Ah. Very nice.

Mast

@Vogel612 Somehow you reminded me of Ctulhu for a moment.

@Mast there was a time I carried the name "Punisher"...

Q: What is the logic behind rejecting the edit?

I have edited this question as the code in it is not bracketed properly. One reviewer accepted it, but the OP rejected it. But what is the logic behind it? I want to draw moderators attention.

Mast

@StackExchange Nailed it:

0

A: What is the logic behind rejecting the edit?

I often reject such edits, albeit with a different reason. The code posted by OP is how OP wrote it. It's the code he wants reviewed. Lacking decent indentation is something often pointed out in a review. This being edited away by somebody else than OP is against his intent and shouldn't happen ...

Vogel612

how the crap did you get 3 sections of transcript into here while I was out with my colleagues for the possibly last time?

EBrown

8:11 PM

@Vogel612 Sorcery.

And the star-wall.

Mast

@Vogel612 Did you miss the mod-fest?

Vogel612

yes I missed the mod fest

EBrown

@Vogel612 Those were fun times.

Vogel612

8:12 PM

@Mat'sMug yea I was very very surprised, too

EBrown

@Mat'sMug That should have been rejected from the beginning.

Vogel612

@EBrown nice setup... </off-topic><site-business>

Mat's Mug

Mast

If my answer is lacking anything important, feel free to point it out.

EBrown

@Vogel612 Thanks. ;)

Mat's Mug

8:13 PM

@Mast you beat me to it, I discarded my draft ;-)

EBrown

@Mat'sMug I had an almost-complete draft I had to discard as well.

Mat's Mug

RubberDuck

@Malachi wtf dude? codereview.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/43364

8:15 PM

@Mast Mod-fest?

Mat's Mug

lol

Morwenn

I have to say: the problem with suggested edits reviews is that it's not obvious at first sight whether we're dealing with a question or an answer.

EBrown

@EthanBierlein We had like, 7 mods in here at once. (At least four of which were from other sites.)

Malachi

@Mat'sMug that edit input a brace that is missing, I am sure that the code wouldn't compile without the missing brace

Mat's Mug

@Morwenn when it says "asked [timestamp]" at the bottom, it's a question ;-)

Malachi

8:16 PM

the indentation wasn't necessary

Morwenn

@Mat'sMug If it has tags, it's a question too.

Ethan Bierlein

@EBrown Oh lol... What happened?

Morwenn

But seriously, I would rather have a big Question or Answer at the top.

Ethan Bierlein

Or was it just coincidence that there were a bunch of mods in here?

EBrown

@EthanBierlein Something got flagged (and wasn't handled, I assume?).

Mast

8:17 PM

@EBrown I'm not sure what the timer is.

EBrown

So the mods descended upon The 2nd Monitor.

Mat's Mug

I think so. unless the flagged post was one of mine?

EBrown

I don't know the rules.

Malachi

I was really on the fence about approving/rejecting that edit

EBrown

It had to do with a flag.

Morwenn

8:17 PM

Did I miss the drama-fest?

Mast

@Mat'sMug You can't see what got flagged?

EBrown

Not sure how/why it went to the other mods.

RubberDuck

So, question for you guys.

Phrancis

@Morwenn Was more like an off-topic smalltalk fest :)

Mat's Mug

@Mast not sure if I can see if my own stuff gets flagged.

RubberDuck

8:18 PM

Does it make sense to have a Material and a MaterialDetails object?

EBrown

@RubberDuck Answer for you.

Ethan Bierlein

@RubberDuck Mhm?

EBrown

@RubberDuck I use Entity and EntityProperties.

To help separate boring stuff.

Morwenn

@Phrancis Sounds like drama to me :p

EBrown

Which is about the same thing.

RubberDuck

8:18 PM

@EBrown that.

Mast

@Mat'sMug You're a moderator. I'd assume that gives you those rights.

EBrown

That way, I can use player.Properties.Name rather than just player.Name.

It avoids clutter when you have a lot of them.

Jeroen Vannevel

@RubberDuck why would that be necessary?

Malachi

so I must have been thinking clearly as no one has said otherwise since I explained my approval of the edit?

EBrown

@Mat'sMug Well rolfl can see his own.

RubberDuck

8:19 PM

@JeroenVannevel As a view model.

Mast

@Malachi We don't agree, that's all.

Jeroen Vannevel

oh no

Viewmodels are an entirely separate class than your models

Mast

Only OP is allowed to touch the code.

Mat's Mug

^^ that

Mast

(my opinion anyway)

If it's broken, OP should fix it.

Not somebody else.

Malachi

8:20 PM

well more than one person disagrees including the OP. if the code doesn't work then we should close the question

RubberDuck

@JeroenVannevel So, I should have a business object that has all the appropriate information and a separate view model?

Jeroen Vannevel

yep

It's fine if they both have the exact same properties

It's not a DRY violation

RubberDuck

To clarify...

public class Matierial
{
    public string Id { get; set; }
    public string Description { get; set; }
    public Status Status { get; set; }
    public IList<Measurement> Measurements { get; set; }
}

I don't want to show the measurements on my Index.

Mat's Mug

Ctrl+R,R > "Material"

Jeroen Vannevel

public class MaterialViewModel
{
    public string Id { get; set; }
    public string Description { get; set; }
    public Status Status { get; set; }

done

Mat's Mug

8:21 PM

I'd question the need for Id to reach the UI

RubberDuck

Gotchya. Thanks @JeroenVannevel.

Jeroen Vannevel

if you want to update something

Mat's Mug

RubberDuck

@Mat'sMug It's a meaningful identifier actually.

Mat's Mug

ah

Jeroen Vannevel

8:22 PM

or create URL's that go to /products/ID

Mat's Mug

right, right, okay, fine, Id is fine allright!

EBrown

@Mat'sMug It is a string Id. shrug

EBrown

@Mat'sMug Then my September 2015 Challenge would be done by...August 2017?

Mat's Mug

doesn't matter.

Mast

EBrown

@Mast What about it?

Also, notice the date/time charts.

I'm almost only on CR between 9am/5pm Mon-Fri.

(That being EST, UTC-4.)

Mast

8:30 PM

@EBrown What's the current time there?

EBrown

@Mast Right now it is 1630.

(Or 4:30PM for those of you not acquainted with 24-hour time.)

Mast

The table must be making some weird conversion.

EBrown

Why's that?

Mast

Anyway, only do them if you like it. Feel free to ignore them altogether.

EBrown

12:00 UTC is about 8:00 UTC-4.

Mast

8:34 PM

But it's a great excuse to take up a small project per hobby.

Malachi

@EBrown don't say that in public

EBrown

I honestly don't have the time to do it. I have a full workload of about a dozen projects.

Some of which are professional, some of which are personal.

Some of which are out-right a pain in the rear.

Mast

@EBrown There are still rock-paper-scissors coming in, which was a challenge a long time ago.

Malachi

RubberDuck pinged me around 1900 last night, I got it on my phone and was able to help him out a little bit

EBrown

I might do them when my schedule frees up more after I knock some of these other projects out.

Or if I switch jobs and move to the location I want to, and have less stress from this city.

Mast

8:37 PM

How did your interview (yesterday?) go?

EBrown

They moved it to this evening.

I have a phone call in about 30 minutes.

Mast

Good luck!

EBrown

Thank you. :)

Mat's Mug

@Mast that's RPSLS - the first, original weekend-challenge!

Nov 30 '13 at 0:52, by rolfl

OK, weekend challenge.... we all solve the Rock Paper Scissors Lizzard Spock problem with our 'favourite' language, and we all have to post a question here with our solution to be reviewed.

EBrown

I probably won't take this job, because it's still in this city (right down the road from where I work now) but it's good practice for my interview.

Mat's Mug

8:40 PM

what does it matter that it's in the same city?

EBrown

@Mat'sMug I don't like this city...lol

@JeroenVannevel After hearing more about it, I might actually want to take it now. D:

:23745329 Yeah, he asked me four SQL and four C#/.NET questions.

All four were quite easy.

Jeroen Vannevel

what were they?

Malachi

I had a phone interview yesterday and it was almost an hour.

I broke my headphones :'(

I don't know if I have enough clear tape....

EBrown

9:20 PM

SQL ones were: 1. Difference between Inner/Outer join, 2. Difference between Where/Having, 3. Examples of good/bad PK's, 4. is an SSN a good PK.

C#/.NET ones were: 1. Does C# support multiple inheritance (more than one base class directly), 2. Does C# support multiple interface inheritance, 3. Difference between base class and interface, and I can't remember the fourth...let me think here.

Mast

I never got programming questions. They usually cut to the chase and ask for opinions about current projects or projects they're about to start. To measure state of mind and more of those words.

EBrown

Anyway, I have to head out. Catch you all later! :)

Hey look, I just wrote a query to fix in the neighborhood of 10K exceptions that up to this point had been done by hand. Other guy had been working on this on-and-off for over a year and had not made a dent.

Hosch250

Can I say that given data in one field of a record in a database, the DBMS should automatically calculate data for a few other cells?

Phrancis

@Hosch250 You can, but you could be wrong.

Hosch250

This is SQL Server to be specific.

The issue is this:

I have a bunch of data redundancy in two tables.

Jeroen Vannevel

@Hosch250 that should happen when retrieving or inserting, typically with a trigger I'd say

Hosch250

I have a Customer table and a Realtor table. The Customer table has three cells which use data from the Realtor table - R_ID, R_NAME, and R_PHONE.

Jeroen Vannevel

10:10 PM

or updating

Phrancis

@Hosch250 Sure, I see the redundancy

Hosch250

Because they are redundant, they are all messed up with data anomalies.

Jeroen Vannevel

Normalization would simply remove R_NAME and R_PHONE

Hosch250

I am supposed to address the situation, and I wanted to know if I could have the Customer table take and validate R_NAME, and pull the other values from Realtor.

@JeroenVannevel I discuss that too.

I'll recommend that, of course.

Phrancis

@Hosch250 Very easily, just need to write a little UPDATE query. And then triggers to automate it, if you must keep those redundant fields in Customer table.

Jeroen Vannevel

10:12 PM

I'll leave it up to @Phrancis, he's the expert on that.

Hosch250

The trouble is, it is the R_ID value that has anomalies.

At least there are only 10 customers and 3 realtors...

Jeroen Vannevel

why is that strange?

Phrancis

Do you know that one field from Realtor at least has no anomalies?

Hosch250

The Realtor table is good (at least, I'm assuming so).

It is the Customer table that has the same ID assigned to multiple realtor names.

Phrancis

I mean, the redundant fields

Hosch250

10:14 PM

The name/phone numbers are mapped correctly in Customer.

I'm assuming the data in the Realtor table is correct.

Phrancis

So Customer.R_NAME and Customer.R_PHONE are good, but Customer.R_ID are wrong?

Hosch250

Yes.

Phrancis

OK hold on

Hosch250

I can post pictures of the data if you wish.

(PS, I don't really need a query, I just want to validate it for the essay.)

My book referred to something like this, and I wanted to make sure I read it right, basically.

Phrancis

update "cust"
    set "c".R_ID = "r".R_ID
from Customer as "c"
inner join Realtor as "r"
    on "c".R_PHONE = "r".R_PHONE
    and "c".R_NAME = "r".R_NAME
where "c".R_ID <> "r".R_ID

Well, there ya go anyways

Hosch250

10:17 PM

Thanks.

I would run it, but I don't want to mess my data up for the assignment :(

Phrancis

Hah, you don't know the trick eh

Hosch250

Let's just say that I don't know how to update, create, rollback, or do anything really interesting with SQL.

Phrancis

So you're asking hypothetically, or, are you remarking that you "don't know how to update, create, rollback, or do anything really interesting with SQL" but wouldn't mind learning?

Hosch250

Yeah, I don't know, but I definitely wouldn't mind learning.

I have created the following program based on an exercise challenge in a book, and have used Resharper to fix certain things; however, I still feel my novice knowledge of C# is preventing me from creating...
