5:00 PM
@user2296177 any reason for all these extraneous spaces? e.g. foo( bar ) vs foo(bar)
 
No, just call me Kevin Spacey.
3
I just like how it looks, but whenever it causes me to require a new line, I feel bad.
 
LOL
 
@Mat'sMug I don't think you're Neal Young.
 
@Mat'sMug it doesn't fit the line
 
@Vogel612 I know, but... so what? :D
 
5:04 PM
There you go guys, that's my current code so far.
 
@Mat'sMug it makes my inner OCD-Musician twitchey
 
@Vogel612 Check it out if you're interested.
 
it's evil enough to deserve another link
 
5:07 PM
Mat's linked it, DanP linked it, Zak linked it, you linked it, if it makes you feel better, I'll post it as well.
 
evil?
 
I linked it?
@Vogel612 better?
 
much
 
@Mast And I linked it! (Without being 100% sure what it was about, but kinda had a feeling)
 
@Mat'sMug I like that song, by the way.
 
5:17 PM
@Vogel612 Uh, holy smokes.
 
If someone starts hosting an Excel file, we can move The 2nd Monitor to there for added VBA support.
 
I guess you could do that, but I sure don't recommend it...
 
Progress!
 
dont you dare
 
@Mast Sure!
Anyone got enough disk space?
What about CPU performance?
Maybe @SimonForsberg can host it on his server.
 
5:18 PM
What does it require, half a meg per message?
 
I don't know. What are the bandwidth requirements?
 
you'd need an excellent connection to run it
5
 
You've been waiting to make that joke, haven't you?
 
but as long as your messages aren't too wordy, the outlook looks good. just make sure people have access to it
3
also it'll need to be plugged into a powerpoint
 
@Hosch250 Host what?
 
5:21 PM
@SimonForsberg this excel chat room thing :P
 
@SimonForsberg The Excel file to replace the 2nd Monitor.
 
This question could be suitable for Code Review, as long as (a) your code works as intended, (b) your code is real code, rather than example code, and (c) your code is included in the body of the question. If you wish for a peer review to improve all aspects of your code, please post it on Code Review. — Mike McCaughan 42 secs ago
 
@DanPantry Oh, that. Just by your pun I could understand it.
Hell no.
4
 
I have no regrets
 
I don't quite understand how it works over network connections either, but I'm not so sure I want to know...
 
5:23 PM
I bet unicorns are involved.
 
shared folder over ssh? hehe
 
@SimonForsberg I think Excel handles that once you connect the two files.
I'm not sure how to connect the files, although I have a vague idea how it might be done. Ask @Mat'sMug for that.
 
it becomes a bloody mess before you can even spell "chat"
3
 
Details, details.
It's going to work like magic.
 
links to ONE external file are terrible. links to 50 external files.. I don't even..

Q: Rest Client service generator (follow up)

It only assumes one thing: request and response bodies are JSON. Usage Create a public interface and decorate it with SiteAttribute: [Site("ht...

 
it seems that something loads into memory - yup. 7000 combobox items. ...and if you have 7000 items in your combobox, you seriously need to consider other options. A search box, perhaps. — Mat's Mug 1 min ago

SO cracks me up
 
Soooo many open CR tabs of questions I thought I'd read on one day
 
@skiwi fav-star+close, repeat

Q: Inconsistent behavior with extra backslash in chat markdown

Simon ForsbergFor a while I have a Stack Exchange chat bot that does many things, one of the things is to post messages like this \[[**retailcoder/Rubberduck**](https://github.com/retailcoder/Rubberduck)\] 19 commits. 745 additions. 451 deletions. Which is shown in chat as: [retailcoder/Rubberduck] 19 co...

Found an old tab
 
@Mat'sMug you know, I happen to know someone who could help that guy. I know someone who regularly has 7000 things open. and by things i mean tabs. and by someone I mean skiwi.
 
5:33 PM
Not answered yet :(
 
lol
 
june 13?
"old tab"
you've had a tab open for 3 months?
 
@DanPantry I've only got 108 tabs open shared over 3 windows right now
 
in most cultures that's called hoarding
4
 
@DanPantry This is a newer one, the oldest one was April I believe
It's like on the left side there's CR/SE-related tabs or things I've opened via chat, and then from the right side there's stuff I open myself
 
5:35 PM
i can't get more than 10 tabs open without having to Close All Tabs To The Right
I imagine closing all the tabs you have open would end up looking like winning Solitaire on Windows XP

I spent my whole afternoon closing tabs from 800 to 100

Q: 2d game enemy entities factories, probably in need of refactoring

topleftSo I'm making a 2d shoot'em up game as a way of learning canvas, and larger-scale programming than what I'm accustomed to. I'm a purely front-end web dev, I can't say I'm very experienced in this. Anyway the way I spawn my enemies is like this : at xyz gameTime, a spawner object is pushed into t...

 
yep, that needs refactoring alright
 
@DanPantry Out of votes :(
@DanPantry I'm tempted to make an extension that opens 500 random SE tabs and then closes them all in a similar way
 
5:39 PM
...wow, aside from not being very DRY and not using strict mode, @CaptainObvious that's not a dumpster fire for once
 
@DanPantry Uh, wow.
I prefer the fireworks in the modern version.
 
I find 4-suit Spider Solitaire much more rewarding
 
@DanPantry There's hope left!
 
@Mat'sMug Have you ever won that?
 
once if at all
 
5:44 PM
I've played almost 100 games and have never won.
 
If you have a more focused question feel free to post it here but other than that we're not a "code review" site. — alfasin 26 secs ago
Is there a question here ? if you want a code review post it at codereview.stackexchange.comcorn3lius 24 secs ago
you should really post this at codereview.stackechange.com, but just some quick thoughts: use logical variable names, use functions for the heavy lifting, and use less 'while' loops that will always evaluate to true and then breaking out of them — n1c9 just now
OK, I understand, thank you. I just posted it on Code Review. — John M. 11 secs ago
I'm voting to close this question as off-topic and it may be better suited for Code Review SE! — Am_I_Helpful 1 min ago

Q: ionic example and making it more bullet proof

@Hosch250 You never played the old solitaire?
 
@Mast Only time I've used XP is at the library.
I got my computer just after Windows 8 came out. My mom had a Mac before that.
 
@Vogel612 I posted it here as a Q&A SO question at the moment, since it's not ready for review, but it contains some explanations.

Before that, we had a computer with Windows 95 that we got rid of some time around the Y2K scare.

Q: Check if strings from a list in a text and return first longest match

StonecoldI'm trying to design an application that binds a phrase or word to some item, for example image, and saves phrase-item pair in the database. Then it receives a text, and if it contains binded substring, corresponding item should be returned. It should return only one item (first match), and phra...

Q: General Retry Strategy #3 with TryResult

t3chb0tI wanted to use the Try helper from @DmitryNogin's General Retry Strategy #2 but each attempt to implement it revealed another thing that is missing.

Q: ionic example and making it more bullet proof

If they click a number then click an operator then click another number then click the equals sign everything works fine. If they click two e...

Asking change the validation behaviour.
 
@Malachi an MSDN article about the const keyword is nothing but an article showing how to use the const keyword. if you're looking for naming conventions, refer to the MSDN article about naming conventions.
 
Doesn't work as intended, in my opinion.
 
7:49 PM
sounds like it should be a more specific question asking something like how do I validate user input? or how do I avoid crashing when user plays smartypants?
 
Do you really format your code like that? Every statement on one line? That's totally unreadable, and I would neither trust, nor want to code review, code written like that. Please clean up your question, and make sure it adheres to the guidelines set up How to Ask. — yshavit 45 secs ago
@MikeMcCaughan The Code Review cross-post has been put on hold. — 200_success 44 secs ago
 
I think that MSDN purposely does not address the issue
 
MSDN examples are notoriously bad at depicting anything other than the specific topic they're posted on IMO
 
^
 
if the topic is about the const keyword, the example is going to be depicting the const keyword in action - not naming conventions for constants

9:15 PM
I just skipped this first post in the review queue. It looks like a good enough answer, if it's true. A second look from someone with recent HTML experience couldn't hurt.
 
@Mast Yeah, feeling alright
 
feeling light-headed I guess
 
@Mast reviewed it and upvoted; it's true
Sucks that web designers/programmers still have to jump through hoops to make sure sites are compatible with the worst browser ever made
