Q: What's a Zombie? And what are the many other memes of Code Review?

What is a Zombie? Why are Code Reviewers so violent and talking about killing Zombies all the time? And what ammo are they talking about? What is a TS? What does RSA mean? And what other Code Review-specific memes are there? (As the number of memes grows and grows, and Malachi's wish to vote fo...

You should read that

Dan Pantry

or wait until Memer is finished... if it covers that... @quill

wait, Quill is the one doing memer right?

Ismael Miguel

Yes and no

I'm the one who wrote most of the Javascript

The idea started from me

Let me fetch the question

Dan Pantry

Ah, alright.

Aha, that's what TS stands for...

I misread RSA as RSI though

Q: "The 2nd Monitor" chatroom translator

For those who go to The 2nd Monitor chatroom, you already know how bad I am at remembering everything. And, sometimes, the new visitors will wonder what something means. For that, I've developed a very simple chat translator. ;(function(window, undefined){ 'use strict'; var memes = { ...

Ismael Miguel

There

Dan Pantry

thanks

Ismael Miguel

It started with that question

Quill and Malachi have been helping and adding functionality and more memes to more sites

It isn't finished, yet

But it will be in a close future

Duga

@PranavNath now you have this working I recommend posting it on codereview for feedback. — Andy Brown 30 secs ago

Zak

09:23

is the review notification meant to keep repeating itself at me until I go and look at the 1 thing in the review queue?

Ismael Miguel

No idea

Quill

@DanPantry Memer is basically finished

Malachi hasn't added any memes

Heslacher

@Zak Either this or until the queue is empty

You can also skip items

Quill

@IsmaelMiguel Malachi and I have a few things that we're looking at working on, but nothing major

Ismael Miguel

I had no idea of that

Quill

09:27

We marked them as issues, but I've got immediate commitments and @Malachi's got kids

the next time I've really got free time is two weeks from now, until then, finals and exam season ahead

Zak

@Quill best of luck wit that

Dan Pantry

good luck with your exams @Quill

Q: Regex for finding After Effects files in scene code format

I haven't used regex a lot (or is it regexes?) and I needed to set up a script that can gather a list of file paths that should adhere to a strict formatting convention, so I thought that sounded like a good opportunity to use them. To explain a bit, there's a set of sequence folders inside a r...

python regex

Duga

@user2079303 you might, but the question would have to be completely re-done first. Questions on CodeReview need to be a) already working as intended and b) have the code embedded in the question. In addition, Feature Requests and code explanations are also off-topic. — Zak 28 secs ago

Quill

@DanPantry general high school

Dan Pantry

Ah @Quill. I forget your age sometimes

Quill

Japanese and Biology are the hard ones

Dan Pantry

09:54

You're able to study japanese in your high school?

Quill

yeah

Dan Pantry

Back in my day I had a choice of Welsh or... well, I didn't even have a choice. I live in Wales. We're mandated to learn Welsh.

Quill

I live in the most touristy area of Australia, and subsequently there's a lot of asian tourists, so Japanese is good

At the local uni, the 'advanced' work in the computer science degree is neural networking

Dan Pantry

never mind that less than 500000 people can actually speak, read and write the language... that's 1/120th of the entire UK population BTW

@Quill thats pretty advanced lol

Quill

maybe

SuperBiasedMan

09:56

Yeah we're made to learn Irish in school here, which makes more sense but is also a very inapplicable and poorly taught language.

Quill

most of the work I've either already done or can do

but the language of choice is C

@SuperBiasedMan inapplicable

does welsh have its own character set

Dan Pantry

@Quill no, but we have a weird alphabet

SuperBiasedMan

@Quill Thanks! In time to edit too.

Dan Pantry

d is a letter, as standard, but so is dd.

Zak

@Quill characters? technically, no.

Dan Pantry

09:58

but we don't need your xes or zs.

oh, also, y and u is a vowel. why? because screw you, thats' why

the language seriously makes no sense

dd is pronounced like "th" in the

Zak

but this is a perfectly typical example of a welsh word

Llanfairpwllgwyngyll

Quill

no offense but that looks like when I fall asleep on my keyboard

Dan Pantry

but "th" is a letter on its own and is NOT pronounced liike "th" in "the".

@Quill none taken

it's pronounced (sort of) clan-fire-pool-g-win-g-ill

Quill

what does it mean

Dan Pantry

that's only half of the word by the way.

Zak

09:59

That's the name of a town

Dan Pantry

The full word is "llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch"

2

yes, thats one word

(and yes its the name of a town)

Quill

I don't think I'd be able to remember a word that long

Dan Pantry

Llanfairpwllgwyngyll

Llanfairpwllgwyngyll (pronounced [ɬanˌvairpuɬˈɡwɨ̞nɡɨ̞ɬ]) is a large village and community on the island of Anglesey in Wales, situated on the Menai Strait next to the Britannia Bridge and across the strait from Bangor. It is alternatively known as Llanfairpwll, Llanfair PG, or Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. At the 2001 census the population of the community was 3,040, 76% of whom speak Welsh fluently; the highest percentage of speakers is in the 10–14 age group, where 97.1% speak Welsh. By the time of the 2011 Census the population had increased to 3,107 of...

Zak

so yeah, technically welsh uses the same character set as english

but the one bears almost no relation to the other

Dan Pantry

let me remind you we are forced to learn this language in high school... despite under 500,000 people actually being fluent in it

Quill

10:01

Japanese is much more different, with another three sets of characters, including one with a range in the hundreds of thousands

Dan Pantry

@Quill that's because one of the sets of characters are actually whole words, so it's not a good comparsion

Quill

@DanPantry for history sake?

Dan Pantry

You have hiragana and katakana which are, in effect, syllables. Kanji are words 'borrowed' from chinese mandarin

...I might have dabbled in japanese when I was younger

@Quill for patriotism i suppose

Quill

all kanji aren't necessarily borrowed mandarin

Dan Pantry

"DAE English are scum" is still a thing here.. for some reason.. to the point where my welsh step father made a point of spitting on england every time we drove in it

@Quill my mistake. all i ermember from my studies was a majority were from/based on mandarin

Zak

10:05

Q: self alias in closures

I use closures in java code a lot and because of the requirement of the project to include 'this' alias to all instance fields and methods, I used to use 'self' alias to reference the outer scope instance variables in order to escape the ugliness of the code. f.ex.: class SomeStrategyWithLongNam...

SuperBiasedMan

@CaptainObvious This is off topic because they omitted code, right? (multiple parts have the real code replaced with ...)

Dan Pantry

10:12

@SuperBiasedMan yes this is example code

Quill

@Zak wat

Zak

@SuperBiasedMan dead giveaway: "could anyone explain what is wrong with this?"

SuperBiasedMan

@SuperBiasedMan theoretical-> programmers, broken -> so, working -> cr

2

Zak

I'm ambivalent about this one codereview.stackexchange.com/review/close/43493

on the one hand, it's broken. On the other hand, only because it's using too much memory.

Dan Pantry

I agree @Zak

I think that's an issue for SO, though.

Quill

@DanPantry someting like that

and there's always dba.se

Dan Pantry

There's a known issue with the code and OP would be better off asking on SO (ironically because he's almost certainly getting an SO/memory error)

I think if code will only work after a review then it shouldn't be reviewed by us in the first place

Zak

@DanPantry I like that philosophy :)

SuperBiasedMan

10:19

But wouldn't he just get told it's an optimisation problem there? I thought the idea was that it should go to SO if there's a particular specific issue that can be resolved or it's horribly broken?

Zak

there is a specific issue

they need a less memory-intensive implementation

Dan Pantry

@SuperBiasedMan he does have a particular issue

this is not a case of "how can I make this faster?"

Zak

and it's basically a question of which data structure will consume less memory

Dan Pantry

its a case of "this will not work unless I make it faster (or consume less memory)"

Zak

which I think is more on-topic on other sites

than this one

SuperBiasedMan

10:20

I guess I had it backwards, is it not that it's a specific issue with a broad solution? Not on topic here anyway, but might not go that well on SO either.

Zak

could definitely do with some rephrasing

Dan Pantry

> My program is able to give me the correct output but when I run it against different test cases, it gives me a memory error. I

His test cases are his expectations and they are clearly not being met here

Given its wording, I would say SO.

It would also be helpful if OP gave the break point of the code.

(not breakpoint as in debug, but break point as in when it breaks)

Quill

Dan Pantry

I would rather the author RBA after they have had a VTC succeeded

that way they know for sure their question is off-topic

instead of 2-3 people discussing it in comments

off-topic (but since chat is more-or-less dead): anyone got any experience of emigration here? I doubt it, but hey

Quill

Sorry @SimonAndréForsberg, I tried to make it clear on the Welcome to 2nd Monitor post, but my wording left some to be desired

SuperBiasedMan

10:37

The legal process or mental process?

Dan Pantry

@SuperBiasedMan legal. looking to emigrate to the US in the next 2 years or so as long as a certain candidate isn't elected

There's no other Pythoners in here, is there?

Zak

10:45

@skiwi I thought you meant to say ensued, then realised that this also makes contextual sense

Dan Pantry

@skiwi @RubberDucks you say

Quill

@SuperBiasedMan eh kinda

skiwi

@DanPantry Yeah, also wet sponges and balls, but the @RubberDucks are important ;)

We can use anything from a simple battery pack to nuclear fuel as power, as long as we can prove that it's safe

SuperBiasedMan

@Quill I'm looking up a nice way to write a file like object directly to a zip, but it seems that ZipFiles generally wants to take just a string or an existing file on the disk. Don't suppose you have any experience with them?

Quill

not with ZipFiles, but somewhat with files in Python

what kind of string, like a location

skiwi

> Some of the casualties (the rubber ducks) will be calling out for help. Some might be hard to reach, because of the fallen debris. It is up to you to decide who you will try to rescue.

SuperBiasedMan

I have a JSON dictionary, and I want to dump it to a zip. But because of how ZipFiles accept parameters it seems the main options I have are either converting it to a string or just write it to a temporary file.

Dan Pantry

JSON is already a string, why is this an issue?

> I have a JSON dictionary
> converting it to a string

SuperBiasedMan

10:53

No I've read it into Python as a dictionary to edit it, so it's no longer a string.

Dan Pantry

Ah.

skiwi

Serialize JSON to file ??? Profit

Dan Pantry

You could use streams although I'm not sure how they work in Py.

skiwi

If that's possible

Dan Pantry

in node we would just pipe the text through a stream (including zipping it in the stream) and then pipe it to a file afterwards

I would presume theres a similar function in python but yes, you will have to serialize it to a string first

SuperBiasedMan

10:55

I found a blogpost about this and it recommends editing the inbuilt ZipFile module if you want to change this behaviour, so I guess I'll just go with the messier but easier options.

Dan Pantry

> recommends editing the inbuilt ZipFile module

> recommends editing the inbuilt module

> editing the inbuilt module

wat

that.... sounds dangerous

SuperBiasedMan

It's actually pretty Pythonic to do something like that, Python invites the danger and says it's on your head if it bites you in the ass.

Dan Pantry

And you wonder why there are so few python users in this chat room

skiwi

Python is easy to code but hard to maintain

Dan Pantry

Then again, I fondly remember a quote but I can't remember who from who said something along the lines of

C is easy to shoot yourself in the foot with; C++ is harder to shoot yourself with, but if you do, you'll take off the entire leg

SuperBiasedMan

10:58

@skiwi It's a lot easier to maintain as a programming team of 1.

Dan Pantry

and there are plenty of C++ programmers, so maybe I'm just a bad judge of character

Some teenage hacker shoots you in the foot with ActiveX. You develop gangrene and die.

this one wins

@Mast haha @SuperBiasedMan mentioned editing an internal package in python which I said was hacky but then mentioned the 3-starred comment

Amelia

@DanPantry should be "you have died of dysentery"

2

Mast

@DanPantry Usually if I have to pull something like that I copy the package and edit whatever I need in there. I'm under no circumstance editing 'original' packages.

Heslacher

Did there happen to be some flags here ??

Morwenn

@DanPantry That's from Bjarne Stroustrup. That one guy who actually created C++.

Dan Pantry

11:04

@Morwenn I knew who it was but I couldn't remember his name @_@

in my defence, its harder to spell and I would have written something like Banana Soupstir

Mast

@DanPantry !w C++ -> right box

problem solved.

SuperBiasedMan

@Mast In this case it's something where the person suggesting it basically thought it was outright better and Python should write it this way anyway. Which is confident at least.

Morwenn

On the other hand, the new versions of the C++ standard make it even harder to shoot yourself in the foot. Provided you use the new features of course.

Mast

@SuperBiasedMan Ah, I usually stick to 2.7.x, where such is blasphemy. Only Python3 is still evolving.

Morwenn

But how we were taught C++ at school is all about how to shoot yourself in the foot.

Dan Pantry

!SE searches StackExchange, !w grabs the wiki

Dan Pantry

I use neither of these, I use chrome and google

Morwenn

@DanPantry I've been taught "C89" and "C++03" at school and most of the teachers didn't know about the standards anyway.

Dan Pantry

I welcome our glorious google overlords

all hail the googletoad

Mast

@DanPantry Oh poor limited one.

Dan Pantry

@Mast to be fair google chrome's dev tools are leagues better than firebugs (imo)

and I'm a web developer, so I use them a lot

Mast

11:08

@Morwenn Yea, we learned C89 and had to learn all the good stuff ourselves.

Morwenn

It was all about "well, let's not use C99 because, y'know, not every compiler supports it, but let's use tons of non-standard compiler extensions, that's way better!".

Mast

@DanPantry Those arguments are only valid if you're a web-developer indeed. Ah well, I like my tools.

@Morwenn We didn't do that either ^^

Vanilla C and C++ all the way.

Morwenn

@DanPantry I use DuckDuckGo for the shortcuts, but when I actually need a search engine, I type !g to that it searches with Google.

Mast

To be honest, there are plenty of vanilla includes to choose from.

@Morwenn I take offence to that. Duck is a fine search engine.

Doesn't filter bubble you either.

Doesn't give about localization by default but allows you to turn it back on if you're so inclined.

That's the order it should work in IMHO, not the other way around.

Dan Pantry

Every time someone is mentioning DDG all I'm seeing is this

Morwenn

11:10

@Mast I've not found what I was looking for way more times that I would have liked to.

Dan Pantry

Mast

@DanPantry That's @RubberDuck

2

Dan Pantry

There are a surprising number of images of inflatable ducks in piers on Google images

@Morwenn just-education-things

it could be worse, until very recently, programming languages weren't touched upon at all in UK schools

the only way you could study literally anything to do with computers that wasn't Word/Excel, you had to go to university

or a few select colleges

Mast

@Morwenn They both have their moments. Google usually provides me with more results than relevant and DDG sometimes leaves relevant results out. I can find everything I need with it though.

Dan Pantry

how would you know a result is missing unless you already knew it was missing?

skiwi

11:15

@DanPantry They didn't specify the dimensions of the ducks we need to save, they better not be that big!

Dan Pantry

unless you mean ones removed via DCMA request

Mast

@DanPantry cross-validation

Dan Pantry

@Mast I get that, but I mean, why would I cross-validate my search results

:S

Mast

@DanPantry To see which search engine performs better, of-course

Dan Pantry

Maybe you guys, given you use a language that is older than the internet itself, need that sort of deep searching ;-)

Or that too.. @Mast

Mast

11:16

@DanPantry Often, yes ^^

While StackOverflow definitely made things easy

Programming now or 5 years ago is not the same.

Dan Pantry

Definitely agree

no idea how I wrote eluna without SO

Mast

I learned Pascal by reading one document alone. Since that was the only document I had.

Now, there's an abundance of examples, tutorials and other helpful documents around.

Dan Pantry

And everyone should get off your lawn

Dan Pantry

The rubber duck in the background.... "I made these"

Zak

wasn't there a shipping container full of rubber ducks that fell off a ship and released them in the middle of an ocean? Or was that just a commercial I saw? I can't remember.

Mast

@DanPantry I'm not that old.

@Zak It's the Rubberduck derby

Basically, you get a couple of thousand rubberducks, number them all and the one who picked the number of the fastest rubberduck wins.

Dan Pantry

@Mast well, that's going on my bucket list

if @RubberDuck doesn't compete in at least one of those as well I will be disappointed

Zak

this is what I was thinking of

Friendly Floatees

Friendly Floatees are plastic bath toys marketed by The First Years, Inc. and made famous by the work of Curtis Ebbesmeyer, an oceanographer who models ocean currents on the basis of flotsam movements including those of a consignment of Friendly Floatees, containing 29,000 plastic yellow ducks, red beavers, blue turtles and green frogs, washed into the Pacific Ocean in 1992. Some of the toys landed along Pacific Ocean shores, like Hawaii. Others traveled over 17,000 miles, floating over the site where the Titanic sank, and spent years frozen in Arctic ice to reach British and Irish shores 15 years...

SuperBiasedMan

Maybe it could be a community challenge to make a rubber duck derby game.
