Q: Extablishing a TCP connection with async & await

DaveDevI'm not really super experienced async/await and working with tasks, so I thought I'd ask for some other opinions.

Q: Python wrapper script around `dig` for easier TSIG signing of queries

Thomas WardI wrote this Python script as a utility script for me.

This script, basically, is just designed to take and process whether a specified DNS TSIG keyfil...

@CaptainObvious Is code that works "most of the time" considered working code?
@ThomasWard Why did you prefix your function names with an underscore, out of curiosity?

class CommentListContainer extends React.Component {

  constructor(props) {
    super(props)
    this.state = {
      data: [],
      pollInterval: 2000
    }
Does it make any sense to make pollInterval time as a state of the component object? Should it be a constant instead? Or a normal data member?
Having it as part of the state kind of implies that it is expected to change during the lifecycle of the component
Decisions decisions... @EBrown how would you do it? ^
 
@Phrancis Config parameter of some sort.
 
2:04 AM
So leave that value out of the class altogether and put it somewhere else along with other config thingies?
 
What is doing the polling? The class?
 
Yeah, it's a container that checks an array and updates what is displayed in the browser with new data
 
Then it goes in that classes constructor as a parameter.
 
@EBrown ^^ see
(YES I KNOW IT LOOKS LIKE CRAP I HAVEN'T STYLED IT YET)
 
Then it's a property of the class.
 
2:08 AM
@Phrancis I was just about to tell you to fix the spacing.
 
Yeah now that it's working, I can make it look OK
import React from 'react'
import CommentList from '../components/CommentList'
import comments from '../data/comments'

class CommentListContainer extends React.Component {

  constructor(props) {
    super(props)
    this.state = {
      data: [],
      pollInterval: 2000
    }
    this.loadComments = this.loadComments.bind(this)
    this.startPolling = this.startPolling.bind(this)
    this.poll = this.poll.bind(this)
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    this._timer = setInterval(this.poll, this.state.pollInterval)
 
You have the amounts of space reversed--use the smaller space between the commentor name and comment.
 
That's the class as I have it now^
@Hosch250 Part of the issue is that I used a Header for the commenter name and P for the comments. I'll just make something a bit more custom
It's easy to change and style with React since I only have to change the component's render method in one place
const Comment = (props) => (
  <div className="comment">
    <h4 className="commentAuthor">
      {props.author}
    </h4>
    <span>
      {props.children}
    </span>
  </div>

Tomáš PaulI have windows form application. One button event starts the script via object called ScriptStarter. The status of object is used to pass message and color to UI (toolStripStatusLabel1). I'm not sure if this is good practice. Could you please give me advice or suggestion how to better set up the ...

 
@Phrancis It looks a little like PHP.
@skiwi At the moment, I just need to try to refresh my memory on OpenGL generally. I have something that kinda works but it's ugly.

Q: C++ Tree Object Class

Oliver YasunaI'm writing a class that acts as the base for almost all objects in my project. I know this class technically doesn't represent a tree structure, because it can have more than 2 children. What should I change? Should I be using smart pointers? I'm a self-taught C++ programmer, so I've got much mo...

Thank you for the feedback. I like your ideas and I am going to try to put them into practice in the next edit. — platypus87 1 min ago
Welp, seems like it will soon become worse
 
@MathiasEttinger @Jamal took care of it
 
But this version is broken
At least 4 times
 
We can still close the question for being off-topic
 
But the edit was legit, I mean, it's what we expect poster to do when they post broken code, right? Fix it before we answer.
 
I personally don't think the edit actually invalidates the answer
I have a feeling the OP may become frustrated though, as this is not the way it's supposed to work
@MathiasEttinger OP went ahead and accepted the answer, I think this will be OK, hopefully they learn not to post broken code in the first place for next time
 
10:12 PM
I’m still puzzled at @Jamal 's decision. I mean, considering the 3 VTC, the question will likely be closed as off-topic. And the only way to get it repoen would be to edit it to provide working code. Which means posting the actual code which has nothing to do with the original post… which means… invalidating the answer?
It's quite frustrating, OP had the right move posting it's actual code instead of the broken version. But an answer came seconds before and it feels like a mess…
 
There's not really a "right" fix, unless we deleted the answer, then reapplied the edit and reopened the question... which I think would be worse, as likely it would offend the answer's author
 
I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's better suited to codereview.stackexchange.com (where it will get a drubbing). — ceejayoz 59 secs ago
 
You're right though, it's pretty messy, and may require some mod intervention
Actually, I just read the answer and the edit side by side, and it truly does not invalidate the answer at all... @MathiasEttinger do you agree?
 
Point 1. 3. and 4. applies to both versions
Point 2. is irrelevant for the edit
since there is no function named guessLoop anymore.
@Phrancis I think I’ll let the night pass and see how things went tomorow morning.
Thanks for the support

That may be best. I was thinking of reverting back to version 6, but for this one I'd rather a moderator assist ...
Found JavaScript documentation on MSDN... strange
 
@Phrancis That's JScript to you
Microsoft couldn't have it be named JavaScript. That sounds too open source!
/s
 
If yours is working code, you should better ask your question on codereview.stackexchange.comphaberest 19 secs ago
 
If it's JScript why do they call it JavaScript...??
 
> /s
 
OH. lol.
 
10:33 PM
They used to call it JScript because they had proprietary extensions to it
like extensions that allowed you to use the windows script host which was never going to be a bad idea. /s
 
Why would you ever want to do that
BTW @DanPantry do you feel that it's acceptable to have a date formatting function inside of a "dumb" React component?
(since date formatting is related to displaying/rendering, rather than handling the data)
 
@Phrancis I'd say that should be fine
it would just be implementation detail of teh component
 
There is a code review stack exchange, but on Stackoverflow your post is off-topic. — a3f 49 secs ago
I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it belongs on another site in the Stack Exchange network, namely Code Review — if it belongs anywhere. Even then, a link to GitHub is probably not an acceptable way of presenting the question. You need to read the About and How to Ask pages before posting more questions. — Jonathan Leffler 42 secs ago
 
const Comment = (props) => {

@DanPantry ^^ thoughts?
 
10:50 PM
Looks fine, although you may not be able to TDD that
I would put the formatTimestamp format in a different file
at least that way you can test it in isolation
 
Uh yeah it's broken
> TypeError: timestamp.toLocaleTimeString is not a function
 
props.timestamp is a Date right?
 
Yeah
 
weird
 
Well, here's the weird thing
It works fine initially loading my pre-loaded data and formatting it correctly, it's when I enter a new comment and submit it that I get that error
 
10:58 PM
pretty sure then that timestamp.toLocaleTimeString is not a date
er, timestamp even.
Is this on GH?
 
I just moved that function into the utils directory, the rest above is in components/Comment.js
And the Date value that's passed as a prop originates in containers/CommentForm.js
 
okay, i'll take a look now

Q: C# OOP pong game in WinForms - looking to make well written code

Jam0131I want to learn C#, I have started off with making simple Pong game, I would like to ask you whether the approach I took is corrrect, as in it is readable and fits the conventions/standards.

kinda confused, where do you pass the timestamp to the Comment component..>?
 
It's pretty confusing
 
11:06 PM
CommentContainer component, I mean
 
The timestamp goes like this: CommentFormContainer -> data/comments.js -> CommentListContainer -> CommentContainer -> Comment
 
hm. I'm not sure, sorry
that is a weird one
I'd definitely make sure that you are indeed passing a Date instance, bu that's all I can think of
 
Yeah... that would at least make a bit of sense from that error
 
You should try getting the react chrome addon
It might help track down data flow bugs like this

Q: Data structure (Map-like implementation) in C++

J. DoeI wrote this code to implement a data structure in C++. It works perfectly, however, I am looking to improve its efficiency. Also, I'm just getting started in C++ so using code to explain your suggestions would be incredibly helpful. Here is the class that implements the data structure: class k...

 
11:16 PM
I found the problem
  handleSubmit(event) {
    event.preventDefault()
    var author = this.state.author
    var comment = this.state.comment
    var timestamp = Date.now()
    if (!author || !comment) {
      return
    }
    comments.push({
      id: 42,
      author: this.state.author,
      text: this.state.comment,
      timestamp: timestamp
    })
    this.setState({
      author: '',
      comment: '',
      charsLeft: CHARACTER_LIMIT
    })
  }
var timestamp = Date.now() returns a number, not a Date object
 
Of course it does.
Because JavaScript.
Even I missed that, sorry.
Yeah, Date.now() returns the number of milliseconds since january 1970
Because you know, why the heck not.
 
And, fixed

Q: Red Black Tree in Java

Andi GuI wrote a red-black tree in Java, having it inherit from a generic binary search tree I wrote. I was wondering how the structure of my inheritance, along with the code's quality (disregarding actual logic) looks to more experienced developers. I'm looking for suggestions on conventions, code read...

 
Code review item: your variable names don't follow Java Naming Conventions which makes your code more difficult to read. Please name variables starting with lowercase so that they don't appear to be class names. — D.B. 16 secs ago
