Well as mentioned above..

Had a refactoring session this morning..

there was a LOT of WTF..

Malachi

you know I thought that when people were writing FTW on the internet that it meant "F*** The World" up until about 2 months ago. now I can't figure out if it means "For The Win" or the other thing when people say it.

Vogel612

can someone please have microsoft fix the memory filling of "svchost.exe -netsvc"

@Malachi WTF???

Nobody

@Malachi: you mean FTW?

Malachi

@Nobody I tried to open the link in another window and it still crashed all the tabs....but I just restored....lol

Nobody

I warned you :)

Mat's Mug

I'm not clicking that link

BenVlodgi

@Malachi brackets can organize.... but they can also clutter

Nobody

I find it amazing that such an innocent link can crash the whole browser

and the problem is known for some time

Mat's Mug

@BenVlodgi where do you stand on auto-properties?

Malachi

14:27

@BenVlodgi if brackets clutter than you probably have bigger issues, cough Nesting cough to Cough if Statements cough Or loops

BenVlodgi

@Malachi no... they just take up space... and nested everything is OP

@Mat'sMug I dig em in C#

Nobody

OP?

Malachi

@BenVlodgi and nested everything is OP?

I mean like Nesting 5 deep or more

BenVlodgi

@Mat'sMug depends on if I need to make private changes or not without updating the public, idk

@Malachi @Nobody OP = Over Powered

Nobody

OP=objectionable programming?

BenVlodgi

14:28

=Awesome

@Malachi give me 9 nested pls

Mat's Mug

@BenVlodgi sorry I misphrased that. I meant get-only properties...

BenVlodgi

@Mat'sMug like
int MyProp {get;}

Mat's Mug

public string Foo { get; private set; }

vs

private readonly string _foo;
public string Foo { get { return _foo; } }

Malachi

@BenVlodgi I have learned to only nest when I need to. I don't know if I could

BenVlodgi

thats @Mat'sMug oh... most certainly do an auto property

Vogel612

14:30

@Nobody you know what's behind that link?

Mat's Mug

and in this case too?

BenVlodgi

@Mat'sMug
public string Foo { get; private set; }

Mat's Mug

public Bar Foo { get; private set; }

vs

private readonly Bar _foo;
public Bar Foo { get { return _foo; } }

Q: Clean,efficient and extensible code for querying collections

I recently wrote code that would query a collection of objects and rank them according to a given criteria and then filter based on an object property. I attach the code below. I would like to know if my approach can be improved upon such as made more efficient and extensible. Is there a better a...

Nobody

14:31

@Vogel612: It is a demo page for this Chrome error (it triggers a TLS handshake which crashes Chrome)

Mat's Mug

The more DI I write, the more private readonly fields I'm having, and the fewer I [need to|can] use auto-properties..

Nobody

so probably a custom written script

BenVlodgi

@Mat'sMug aslong as that is valid, which I think it is... readonly can be set in the constructor... so it can't be set by an outside source

Nobody

and not a webserver

BenVlodgi

@Mat'sMug DI, Dependency Injection?

Vogel612

14:32

well you can resolve the ip by commandline

64.145.66.143

works just as well ;)

Mat's Mug

@BenVlodgi that's the idea; a readonly backing field is explicit about it - the dependency is constructor-injected and the property can only have a getter. With a private set property it's not as explicit.

Vogel612

you get a 403 with http though.

Nobody

@Vogel612 yeah but posting IPs looks evil :)

Mat's Mug

yeah DI==Dependency Injection

BenVlodgi

@Mat'sMug ohhh, it does still throw an error

Mat's Mug

14:36

not if you're messing with it within the same class

BenVlodgi

Personally I would just use an auto, because I'm a minimalist. But in this case there is real reason to not. Since they don't result in the same output, you're totally justified in using a backing store.

@Mat'sMug .... it should

wait

darn

No... you can't have readonly properties at all

my mistake

in which case, you must do it your way

out of curiosity, do you need it to be readonly, or could you be using constants

Mat's Mug

Most of the time when I have a field, it's because I have a corresponding constructor parameter - the field is readonly so if I need that exposed I'll put a get-only property. Or I'm writing a ViewModel class (: INotifyPropertyChanged) and will need to have logic in the setter, so autoproperties can't do.

BenVlodgi

@Mat'sMug right... that is one annoying thing about Auto-Properties, is that you can't have them trigger the property changed thing

or have auto Dependency properties.... but I understand why... auto DP would be nuts

thats what snipps are for

Mat's Mug

Yay! ReSharper FTW!

BenVlodgi

I am getting list of badCatsNames from webservices, now I have two asp.net bulleted lists here, Bulleted List 1 - Available Cats Belleted List 2 - Purchasing Cats Now I need to check each bad cat name if bad cat is in available cats list, if bad cat name is then take her out of Available Cats...

jquery asp.net

Mat's Mug

^^ missing a verb?

Nobody

the verb is "this"

now make something of it

BenVlodgi

@Mat'sMug thats how I feel about normal intellisense... but, I guess I'll just have to see

Mat's Mug

You can do

foo.Bar();

without having declared or written/implemented "foo", and then later when you do

foo.

you get "Bar()" in the code completion list. You can write an entire method like this, and then right-click "foo" and tell R# "create that class for me"

hold on

BenVlodgi

that is pretty cool

     }
     catch(Exception e){
         log (e);
         return false;
     }
}

Mat's Mug

PITA right?

(the thing no longer compiles, you have to update every single usage manually, etc.)

R# refactor/rename makes it a breeze - and it even suggests names for your types, based on context/usage. And it updates literal strings and comments, too.

Q: Better way to get child

I have the following Code to get ImageColorPicker child: foreach (CustomTabItem customTabItem in SelectedWindowsTabControl.Items) { TabItem ti = tabControl.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(customTabItem) as TabItem; Popup popup = (Helpers.FindVisualChild<Popup>(ti) as Popup); ...

c# wpf xaml

Mat's Mug

ok I'm done with the R# infomercial (sorry about that!) - get the demo :)

@StackExchange lol @title - pill.Forget(); is one pretty good way.

BenVlodgi

@that is actually super awesome about the namespaces

Mat's Mug

and you can Ctrl+Click on any type to go to definition - and it adds a go to implementation shortcut to the context menu, which is awesome when your code is depending on abstractions and "go to definition" just takes you to an interface!

I wonder what he understands under music programming language

one where you program music

or one in which you program using music

Marc-Andre

I would go for : one in which you program using music

Nobody

is music turing complete?

Vogel612

@Nobody given the fact you just need to specify a syntax which is... yea..

you can in fact assume, that either one frequency is one statement, or one note is one statement.

then you can map them to shortened bitwise operations...

and you got something along the lines of golfscript/f/brainfuck

Nobody

which is surely not the language he is dreaming about

Vogel612

15:49

probably yea...

Nobody

I mean it is trivial to map any source of symbols to any other so you could basically use music as "typewriter" for every language out there

the question is: is music itself a (turing complete) language

Vogel612

well you try to parse music, go ahead...

question is more... what is music, and do I need to check every aspect of it?

@skiwi gz, you found another Java8 bug.. premature-release

skiwi

And why does the Scanner class have 2618 source code lines?!

@Vogel612 Nah I doubt... I do want to see what exactly is going on though

This is going to be interesting...

My RPSHumanPlayer has a Scanner, however the scanner.next() is called on different threads every round

Vogel612

Not multithreading-safe then??

You should probably keep an instance of Scanner in every Thread then, shouldn't you?

Appereantly, that aws the issue

Yesterday, I managed to make a Java program self-updating at work. Today I managed to achieve... nothing!

Simon André Forsberg

£@@£{€$!! stupid Batik and WMF format.

Corbin

@vaxquis What happens when 6 months from now someone pulls the input reading into a function, the run time of the program is extended to more than 1 run, and suddenly they have a mysterious memory leak? (A very contrived situation, but the principle is the same--bad habits bite you down the road.) Trade offs between academic purity and real-world concerns are certainly valid, but I believe you should explicitly point out when those trade offs are being made rather than silently putting them into example code. The OP probably isn't as knowledge as you and doesn't know the drawbacks. — Corbin 58 secs ago

Whoops, meant to link the entire comment section. Oh well.

@SimonAndréForsberg You accomplished continuing to have a working Java self-updating program! :p

People still use WMF files? Wow.

Mat's Mug

bothers me when a user with a total history of 1 post makes a comment like this:

btw, @Corbin - the main idea was to provide a puzzle to OP - since he asked "how we can spot the difference in the 'level' of a coder", I've done this one in a couple of ways, firstly and foremostly by providing a version that only fixed his most obvious errors (without changing the actual code's behaviour), and later by creating this one, portable to C++ by only the simplest printf/scanf -> cout/cin substitutions... it was meant to be a puzzle, not a definite answer to the problem (it's not stackoverflow but codereview after all) — vaxquis 6 hours ago

Corbin

I know. My original response was much, much ruder than the one I posted.

I almost went on a little tirade about how the entire purpose the community is stringest best practices and pedantic correctness, not "Whatever the fuck I feel like writing because omg! I'm experienced!"

But yeah... Figure that would have ended rather poorly.

Corbin

Also, his obsession with "this Java-like program" or "this could be C++ if you used cin/cout instead of printf/scanf" is strange. Replacing the output methods does not make a program C++. Started to go on that rant too, but... I feel like I've already been enough of a dick. I pick far too many CR fights as it is lol.

Vogel612

@Corbin why not pick another??^^

You seem knowledgeable enough to stomp him ...

<-- has not the slightest clue concerning c / c++

Corbin

Because CR arguments are shockingly hard to win/end. He thinks he's right. I think I'm right. How can I prove something to him that he's not willing to believe? Irrefutable sources on code quality/best practices are basically impossible to find :/.

There's a certain awkwardness about new answers', I've found. Their answers and the community's expectations (or at least mine) rarely match up, and I hate that.

Rule #1 of The 2nd Monitor: any message mentioning stars will be stared by at least one fourth of the people present.

rolfl

Unless it is after 12:00 UTC at which point half of the fourth have capped their stars.

Mat's Mug

^^ exception confirming the rule?

Jamal

Oh boy. Highest record for number of stars for a "lol" is happening...

@Corbin I just sent an invite to him to join the 2d Monitor.

Q: Java sort LinkedList of LinkedLists into size order

I'm currently faced with this problem: I have a LinkedList that contains several LinkedLists containing longs, so: LinkedList<LinkedList<Long>>() overalllList = new LinkedList<LinkedList<Long>(); After some code runs, the overall List gets filled with lists of longs of varying sizes. What I ...

@skiwi your point being?

Jamal

Between this and yesterday's meme image... Corbin must've turned 12. :P And 12-year olds shouldn't be on SE.

Corbin

I think his point is sorting a linked list is gross.

@Jamal fair enough hahaha. That was a funny image though!

skiwi

@Vogel612 A linked list of linked lists... The horror

Jamal

17:35

It was, and so damn random. xD

Corbin

Yeah. Especially from Jerry Coffin lol.

Jamal

Here we were talking about x86 assembly, and then... yeah.

skiwi

Does anyone have a minute for Java generics help?

Corbin

Hahahaha

skiwi

I have the following interface with generics:

My Java is incredibly rusty, but I can attempt to help :). (99.9% chance I'll be useless though)

public interface Game<P extends Player<? extends Action, ? extends Result>> {

Is there a way I can refer to ? extends Action as A, and likewise for ? extends Result as R?

rolfl

How to polarize people:

(without introducing more typed parameters)

Oh, the ups and downs of bad code in the workplace :)

public interface Game<A extends Number, R extends Number, P extends Map<A, R>> {

@skiwi ^^^^^

skiwi

@rolfl That's the one I wanted to avoid

As now to inherit from Game you need to define all three

But if that's not possible... then well it's not possible.

@skiwi put yourself in the compiler's shoes...

Q: Just a lowly counter that turned out to be surprisingly complicated

While writing this review, I saw a need for a Counter object similar to Python's. It seemed like it would be easy to write such a class, but it turned out to be surprisingly complicated. Counter.java import java.util.*; public class Counter<T> implements Map<T, Integer>, ...

@Mat'sMug But compilers are smart, you are now implying that I am smart too.

yayy I'm outspoken!

@rolfl I guess it is hard to "raise"

200_success is only 55 rep away from becoming our second 20K user!

Mat's Mug

@skiwi someone that finds a bug in Java can't be a doorknob (no offence to @Doorknob)

@Jamal we're so outrepping PCG!

BenVlodgi

he should be renamed to 20k_success

There might be truth in that @Mat'sMug

w00t

Mat's Mug

17:52

@skiwi that should work

skiwi

I guess it does yes, that is the whole idea when I code @Mat'sMug (Moreover it has no compile errors)

Mat's Mug

...yeah. and as a bonus you can now have a AnotherGame<A extends SomethingElse, R extends AnotherResult, P extends Player<A, R>> implements Game<A,R,P> {

skiwi

And even more!

Mat's Mug

@SimonAndréForsberg would be proud!

skiwi

Now I need to map the RPSGesture to an RPSResult... That's for later
