Mat's Mug

@Jamal I think it's an awesome title for a CR post!

Jamal

@Marc-Andre Ah, you must've flagged it at just the right time. :-)

Marc-Andre

@Jamal Yep I'm not even sure you had time to read it :P

Simon André Forsberg

@Corbin Yes, unfortunately people still use WMF. I think I'm gonna suggest tomorrow that they should convert them using another program to SVG, because the Java program I'm working on can already deal with SVG.

Corbin

Yeah, I didn't know anyone used anything other than SVG. Crazy.

Jamal

@Marc-Andre I didn't even have a chance to read it, but that's fine. I could've still waited, as enough flags on a comment will delete it instantly.

@rolfl my 50 today all comes from yesterday's answers.

BenVlodgi

@Malachi because I know you love nested loops so much

    @Malachi I just wrote this, and figured I might aswell share it

internal static IList<string> BodyToString(IList<IVNode> body)
{
    IList<string> text = new List<string>();
    foreach(var node in body)
        if (node.Type == NodeType.Property)
            text.Add(((VProperty)node).ToVMFString());
        else
            foreach (string s in ((VBlock)node).ToVMFStrings())
                text.Add(s);
    return text;
}

I want tabs to be preserved

Mat's Mug

@BenVlodgi does this ping you?

BenVlodgi

I just hear the new message sound

nothing special

Mat's Mug

(ding!) is special ;)

Malachi

@BenVlodgi that's not bad, it only runs the inner loop when it has to, if the node type doesn't match

I gotta jet for a meeting though

BenVlodgi

@Malachi there are only two values for that enum

it is only doubly nested in loops

but I think it looks pretty without those brackets

Simon André Forsberg

@skiwi Are you sure you want the Result part in there too?

I think perhaps your general game interface doesn't need the Result thing, that could be specific to just RPSLS.

But it'd be helpful to look at all of the code at the same time. Have you GitHubed it by any chance?

@LokiAstari Bye! See you here again sometime.

Jamal

@200_success Unless someone is contributing a majority of their votes to you, I cannot track it myself. If the script does trigger, then that's that. All we can do is to educate users on this.

Marc-Andre

18:37

In my case, I almost always verify the new answers/question of a user I know or feel like "inspecting", so some times many upvote can be awarded, but I've not seen any reversal cause by me at least. I always take good care to not upvote too much in too fast.

konijn

I wonder about that, I've done some serial upvoting from data.stackexchange queries

no rollbacks yet

like upvote all answers that have 9 votes already

Mat's Mug

For my part I have aimed my vote-gun at a specific user more than once, but when I do so I always upvote other valuable competing answers and the question it was posted on as well. So I can aim at a user, but actually shoot at posts.

Simon André Forsberg

@Mat'sMug Does aiming at a user and actually shooting at posts mean that you miss?

Mat's Mug

@SimonAndréForsberg no, it means the serial-vote-reversal script misses... and that I run out of ammo quite fast ;)

Simon André Forsberg

Yeah, running out of ammo that we know of :)

@200_success "I'd like to find some code samples that we can critique. [...] Pointers to some Github repos would be very helpful. Preferably some messy code that has both glaring and subtle flaws." I don't think so. The OP should just browse our questions and answer them, IMHO.

Doorknob

skiwi

Whyyyy is this not working silent rage

Simon André Forsberg

@skiwi Speaking of overriding, in case you didn't know about it, there's the concept of covariant return methods. Very useful.

skiwi

19:53

public interface Player<A extends Action, R extends Result> {
    default public void onPostAction(final Player<A, R> target, final A action, final R result) { }
}

public class RPSHumanPlayer extends RPSPlayer {
    @Override
    public void onPostAction(final RPSPlayer target, final RPSGesture gesture, final RPSResult result) {
}

Simon André Forsberg

@skiwi I'd say I know quite a lot about generics, using it anywhere and everywhere

Mat's Mug

@Doorknob our numbers differ... are you filtering for recently active users?

skiwi

@SimonAndréForsberg I know something about it the convariance, but not much

@SimonAndréForsberg The code I just posted isn't working as the @Override cannot apply as it is apereantly a different method signature

Simon André Forsberg

@skiwi What's a RPSPlayer?

skiwi

Oh also:
abstract public class RPSPlayer extends AbstractPlayer<RPSGesture, RPSResult> { }

Doorknob

19:54

@Mat Well, I meant generically, in the sense that our main problem is voting and rep.

skiwi

That last one might be important :p

And then of course this aswell:

abstract public class AbstractPlayer<A extends Action, R extends Result> implements Player<A, R> { }

Simon André Forsberg

Player<A, R> is not the same as a RPSPlayer. There's your problem.

skiwi

I tried the following aswell:
default public <P extends Player<A, R>> void onPostAction(final P target, final A action, final R result) { }

But that doesn't work either...

Simon André Forsberg

This might work: default public <E extends Player<A, R>> void onPostAction(final E target, final A action, final R result) { }

damn, just was I was going to suggest...

@skiwi You have it on git or something so I can download and play around with it?

Mat's Mug

@Doorknob oddly, WebApps graduated with much, much lower figures than ours both...

Doorknob

19:58

@Mat You think we should mention that to the SE team and see what they think? :-P

Maybe our sites could collaborate to both help each other graduate! (And then go back to being mortal enemies afterwards, of course.)

Simon André Forsberg

You might need interface Player<A extends Action, R extends Result, P extends <Player<A, R, P>> or something like that... but when generics gets recursive like that, it often becomes unbearable (if even compilable!) and you should really ask yourself if you really need it like you are currently using it.

Mat's Mug

IDK... I'm sure SE staff is well aware that our respective communities have been simmering for a while, about to enter heavy boil. At one point the pressure will get too high and they won't have a choice but to graduate us :)

skiwi

@SimonAndréForsberg Don't have it anywhere yet

BenVlodgi

@skiwi why is there an abstract AbstractPlayer and abstract RPSPlayer?

Doorknob

Heh, hopefully that's soon!

Simon André Forsberg

20:00

@skiwi In what way does it help having a Player interface? In what way is a MinesweeperPlayer, UTTTPlayer and a RPSPlayer expected to behave in the same way? Do you really need a general Player interface for all the games?

skiwi

@BenVlodgi Because an AbstractPlayer can still be anything... while an RPSPlayer can only play RPS-like games

BenVlodgi

@skiwi oohh, can players play other games besides RPS?

skiwi

@SimonAndréForsberg I think it helps, to have atleast some things generalized

Leet (or "1337"), also known as eleet or leetspeak, is an alternative alphabet for the English language that is used primarily on the Internet. It uses various combinations of ASCII characters to replace Latinate letters. For example, leet spellings of the word leet include 1337 and l33t; eleet may be spelled 31337 or 3l33t. The term leet is derived from the word elite. The leet alphabet is a specialized form of symbolic writing.

Things you did well Nicely formatted, easy to read. Use of typedef with structures. Things you could improve Preprocessor: Since SDL.h isn't one of your own pre-defined header files, you should be searching for it in directories pre-designated by the compiler (since that is where it should...

Q: Closures in C#, necessary or not

I've written JavaScript for a while, but lately I've been writing a lot of C#. I wanted to write a method that could take the column name of a DataTable and return an average for those values. Having never written closures in C#, but being comfortable with them in JavaScript I came up with: (cr...

Could you post the code here instead of linking to in on another Stack Exchange site? It makes the reviewing process easier for the reviewers, not having to jump back and forth between sites. — syb0rg 17 secs ago

Q: Probably unneeded returns

This is my first "useful" Haskell program. It's invoked with filenames as arguments where the last filename is the destination to which the content of all other files will be concatenated. As far as I can tell it's working but I don't like the two returns in the main function and would like to kn...

@syb0rg Unfortunately, no. You also need 20 non-wiki answers.

Q: Is this C++ program correctly implemented in SSE?

I have to implement that C++ simple program in SSE, and I don't know if I have done it in the right way (it's my first program in SSE). This is the C++ program: double distance (int x1, int x2, int y1, int y2) { double x = abs(x2 - x1); double y = abs(y2 - y1); double dist = sqrt(x...

Welcome, @AlwaysLearningNewStuff!

syb0rg

@AlwaysLearningNewStuff Yeah, I kinda really want Code Review to graduate; I've been putting in a lot of effort to get us there.

One way I did that is by creating a chatbot that posts recent answers to a feed.

@Jamal: Thank you!

That way we can see them as soon as they are posted, and then vote on them.

AlwaysLearningNewStuff

@syb0rg: So what are the ways I can contribute to this site?

syb0rg

21:42

@AlwaysLearningNewStuff #1 thing you can do: vote.

Don't trigger the serial-voting script though :P

But seriously, take a visit to that room ^^^ and vote on some stuff that you think offers good advice.

If you aren't too sure, stick with the languages you know best.

And if you are struggling to find stuff to vote on, taking a look at some profiles in this room never hurts ;)

AlwaysLearningNewStuff

@syb0rg: OK, I need few clarifications regarding voting. You see I am an inexperienced developer, and I am afraid that my vote will be misleading. I can vote up/down post based on my perception of its usability and how well is the question phrased.

@syb0rg: Can this be helpful?

syb0rg

@AlwaysLearningNewStuff For questions, yes. I upvote almost every question that is on-topic.

nhgrif

Upvoting questions is pretty safe as long as its well written and per your understanding, they've included all the necessary information.

AlwaysLearningNewStuff

@syb0rg: OK then. I will give a quick glance right now and see what I can upvote. I just fear that it does not get reversed for chain upvoting.

nhgrif

Upvoting answers requires slightly more of an understanding of the topic being discussed to be certain that the answer is actually correct.

syb0rg

21:47

@AlwaysLearningNewStuff That only happens when you upvote a single user too much.

This appears to be off-topic:

A question that includes "if you want to reproduce it" in regards to a problem is most likely a question that doesn't include functioning code
