^^ i.e. use them as static methods :) not sure the Linq methods can be called like that though (still browsing the System.Linq namespace)
 
They should be able to.... Although Microsoft does like to write magic code
 
they are
I'm dumb

I was trying to call a static Enumerable extension from outside a method scope
 
hah. noice
If you're not Jon Skeet, you're dumb
 
or Eric Lippert
 
2:02 PM
@BenVlodgi Now suppose you have both in different packages, and are importing a class via using
To be more clear:
 
same result
I'll demonstrate
 
package (namespace?) test.A having class A and Extensions, same for testB
and then in a new class, you want to use both test.A.A and test.B.B
(You do not care about the Extensions provided in those packages)
 
using can define an alias, too, so you can say using Ext = System.Linq.Enumerable;, and then refer call Enumerable extension methods like this: var isEmpty = !Ext.Any(someArray);
 
I think you would run into somewhat of a trouble if two system packages would provide conflicting extensions.
(or high-class third-party libraries for that matter)
 
@skiwi that would be extremely unlikely
 
2:05 PM
it would be unlikely, but its the same as ever
 
TTGTH
 
in C# there like 3 different Point classes, depending on which libraries you import
 
see you later on maybe and otherwise tomorrow
 
when you are using those libs, you just have to explicitly specify which one you are using
 
later!
System.Drawing.Point point = ...
where are the others?
 
2:07 PM
@BenVlodgi That's why I tend to use more fully qualified names in general.
 
^
@skiwi
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/system.drawing.point.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.point.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg427622.aspx
 
wow
maps
and yeah, System.Windows has its own, too. And Microsoft.Xna has another I think.
 
So the only workaround then is fully qualified names, which seems acceptable.
Now I understand how extension methods are implimented then
Didn't they drop XNA recently?
 
@Mat'sMug I forgot about XNA been a while since I used it
@skiwi they dropped it a while a go
 
2:10 PM
well, .net 2.0 is dropped the same way XNA is, doesn't mean one can't start a project with it today - my employer started a VB6 project in 2007, maybe even later...
 
@Mat'sMug why? Why would anyone do that?
 
Typically $$$
Monking again, all.
 
I can't imagine the logic behind purposely using an outdated paradigm.
 
Discovery!
If you define an extension method in your namespace, then ones imported from other libs will not conflict..... example incoming
 
hey @rolfl
 
2:12 PM
 
That's just bad accounting @rofl. It costs more in the long run.
But you're probably right.
 
@ckuhn203 no idea. they had to interface with a 3rd-party COM API... that came with interop assemblies specifically for that...
 
@BenVlodgi You cheated a bit there though :P
 
@BenVlodgi I'd add a Console.Write in the extension method bodies just to be sure where the calls resolve to ;)
 
By adding the Extensions inner static class in A :p
 
2:14 PM
I'm not finished
 
I think the real reason is, because they didn't know better.
and this is how the cookie crumbles
 
back to work now ;)
 
its own namespace takes precedence, if it is between 2 other outside namespaces, it doesn't know
 
@BenVlodgi I see
Looks logical ^^
 
2:16 PM
is
 
@Mat'sMug to be absolutly sure that it isn't some bug, I ran with Console.Write()
 
@skiwi Truth
 
Yay, finally I can do GUI tests,
public class ConsoleControllerTest extends GuiTest {
    @Override
    protected Parent getRootNode() {
        try {
            return FXMLLoader.load(ConsoleController.class.getResource("console.fxml"));
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            throw new UncheckedIOException(ex);
        }
    }

    @Test
    public void testEmptyTextFieldOnStart() {
        TextField textField = find("#textField");
        assertEquals("", textField.getText());
    }
}
Argh... My mouse moved by 1 pixel and it broke off automated GUI testing because it detected movement

Q: How would you count in the Fibonacci Sequence?

No problem @Mat'sMug. Done.
 
@rolfl Yeah, this is what I'm afraid of, after reading some info on MSO. The bigger we get, the more users we attract, which means the more drama that can happen. But in any case, I'm glad a mod was around in case it got uglier.
 
Bahhh ... seeing some of the things I see go through the SO site, ... this was not ugly ....

A: How is this site different from Stack Overflow?

Mat's MugStack Overflow hates fun. We don't. Proof: We take care of our zombies We take code review as a weekend sport We love hats

 
@rolfl Had a chance to look at my finding max subarray sum implementation (for fun) yet?
I'm unsure whether the code is fully on topic or in a gray area though, as I would never put that code into production. Yet it does qualify the ontopicness constraints of CR.
 
@skiwi Honestly, .... ? yes
I just skipped it though and looked at an android one ;-)
 
^^ Good choice :P
I had it as readable three-liner first, but it was less readable as it is now, but I think it looks way more scary now.

X11? Isn't X11 specifically for Linux?
 
I wonder what the average time to answer figure looks like by now..
 
2:41 PM
Travis CI runs on Linux...
 
@Mat'sMug There's a query for that somewhere, isn't it?
 
the one I linked to gives the best idea, the actual query is the one @GraceNote is referring to in How is Code Review doing right now?
 
@SimonAndréForsberg docs.travis-ci.com/user/gui-and-headless-browsers I thought it was possible, maybe I should actually read the documentation now.
 
> Jon Ericson, another Community Manager, ran some numbers on the site and discovered that the average time it takes for a question to receive its first answer is actually several hours (averaging somewhere between 8 and 10 hours). This seemed pretty high, but a quick browse of the questions is pretty enlightening - things are huge here. A lot of questions comprise of gigantic blocks of code that have little guidance as to what should be reviewed.
 
@skiwi I might be wrong though. It's just that the only times I see X11 is when it's in Linux
 
@SimonAndréForsberg I'm not familiar with Linux at all unfortunately
 
> For all that engagement, though, the site itself isn’t keeping people. User retention is less than ideal - there’s almost a thousand users listed as “avid” on Area 51, but according to our traffic metrics less than a hundred of them visit on a regular basis, and less than two hundred were even seen in the last month. These aren’t happy numbers. They are in fact unhappy numbers. Very unhappy numbers.

salut @Morwenn!
 
Why doesn't the SEDE use Flot for the charts!?
 
@Mat'sMug Coucou :)
 
2:47 PM
Even I know how to use Flot. And those of you who know me well probably know what I think about JavaScript...
 
@SimonAndréForsberg I actually don't know what you think about javascript
 
looks nice
 
@skiwi My opinion about JavaScript is that I think there is a reason for why it covers 25% of the "YourLanguageSucks" page.
3
 
@SimonAndréForsberg Ah... I didn't have a deep thought right now. I think (on the surface) that javascript is cool
but if you dive into it, it becomes a horror
 
@skiwi One thing to ask yourself when you do JavaScript is: "In this context, what is this?" and then you often figure out that you have absolutely no clue what this is.
(At least that's how I feel)
But Flot makes things, well... Flot (for those of you who know danish...)
 
2:54 PM
if (typeof x !== 'undefined') { //do stuff } says enough
@SimonAndréForsberg Without looking it up in a dictionary, I'd translate it to "Vlot", which is roughly equal to "Snel", both Dutch, which in English is "Fast", or rather "Quick"/"Quickly"
Does it make sense?
 
I don't know Danish
 
@skiwi Actually, it more means "Beautiful"/"Pretty"
> What's with the name?

First: it's pronounced with a short o, like "plot". Not like "flawed".

So "Flot" rhymes with "plot".

And if you look up "flot" in a Danish-to-English dictionary, some of the words that come up are "good-looking", "attractive", "stylish", "smart", "impressive", "extravagant". One of the main goals with Flot is pretty looks.
 
@SimonAndréForsberg Then it's different meaning as I thought :P
Hmm, I guess I have progress?
 
@Mat'sMug Danish girls, being Scandinavian, are of course hot.

@SimonAndréForsberg have you played with the ExtJS library? It's pretty flot as well ;)
 
"Support for (headless) CI server testing of JavaFX is not available until JavaFX 8." <- But this is where we are right now!
 
the day I want to start doing web UI with JS, I'll do ExtJS
 
@Mat'sMug Never seen that before. It does look flot. I suppose it's 100% JS? (Or is there any C# behind that?)
 
JS, no C#
works nicely with ASP.NET MVC / AJAX
there's a .net wrapper too, but I haven't used it.
I like the way it supports data binding, somewhat similar to WPF
 
Great, I'm getting a one-time offer... I can convert my JavaSE project to a JavaFX project automatically... However I can not automatically convert it back ;)

@skiwi backup and proceed?
 
@Mat'sMug Pretty much
 
@BenVlodgi about the NHibernate question... if the mappings aren't correct, then the code doesn't work as intended, ...I find it's a very borderline question, holding back on close vote for now...
 
wheres that?
 
Great question, with lots of relevant info! Welcome to Code Review. — BenVlodgi 3 hours ago
and that code makes me love Entity Framework even more!
 
@Mat'sMug yes
 
3:12 PM
can't NHibernate work off conventions?
 
.... but his code does work
 
Who needs conventions, when you have programmers that (think they are) the best of the world?!
3
 
A point you could make is that, you shouldn't write code that fails if the mappings failed, because someone made a minor change in the DB to the tables your are trying to map to
 
I'd stuff the configuration in NHibernate XML mapping files. Fluent NHibernate is scary.
 
lets say this, his CODE works.... it may fail with out the perfect environment, which is bad
but his question is good, contains relevant information, and his code does work as intended
 
3:14 PM
EF code-first [think later] FTW!
 
(I'm not defending his code)
just his question
 
I just wonder how many ways there are to map a foreign key.....
like, if it's working code, then the mappings are correct. If it blows up, something's not right.
oh wait, the NHibernate model won't blow up until you run a query that uses a bad mapping is that so?
 
I didn't think that was the case
I thought his stuff was working
 
I assume his stuff is working, too.
 
Then what is the problem
 
3:18 PM
I don't see what could be said about mapping code, nor what could be improved with mapping code that maps correctly.. but then again, I'm not a fan of NHibernate, I may be missing something.
perhaps some formatting and styling tips could be given I guess
commented-out code should be deleted
 
@Mat'sMug Then you could point out that he should something besides NHibernate... and say that his code is fine as far as mapping code works, and point out the problems that could come up
those comments may be useful later, if those values still exist in the DB
 
then when they become useful, fetch the version of the code in your source control, the one just before the commit log that says "removed commented-out foreign key mappings in PatientInfo" ;)
no?
Or maybe it's just because I'm putting up with 80-some of such blocks in the code I'm working on right now:
oops nevermind
I didn't mean to identify any poor-coding companies
there's a whole chapter dedicated to comments in Robert C. Martin's Clean Code, and a section about commented-out code. The recommendation is: delete them. They're rotting code that doesn't belong there and only serves to confuse the reader.
 
NHibernate is like Hibernate for C#?
 
for .net actually, yeah
is it code that's meant to be there? is it code that was commented-out for debugging purposes, and then forgotten? is it code that's not meant to be there? commented-out code is bad. With a date it's even worse.
source control tells the code's history, not the code itself ;)
and when the underlying tables change column names, the commented-out code wasn't updated with the new names, and now you have a bug waiting to be uncommented!

The link you posted there is not exactly about getting data from the dialog to the calling code, it's more about getting the data from the calling code (the dialog fragment) to the activity hosting the fragment.

I have experience with a headless IT department, I don't know about headless servers.

@skiwi I think the whole point of the headless server is that ther is no GUI running on them.
Also, the headless part only allows a subset of things to work.
 
@rolfl What's wrong about it? What did I miss?
 
That whole page is about building, opening, and getting responses from dialogs.
 
@rolfl I have read though that it is relatively easy to emulate by just using a bunch of physical RAM, the only missing thing is an actual screen then.
 
The part I linked to, is specifically about passing the dialog data back to the calling program.
which is exactly what the OP is wanting to do....

(I added in the +extension RANDR)
 
@rolfl The part you linked to assumes that there's a DialogFragment in there, i.e. Activity -> DialogFragment -> Dialog. And the part you linked to seemed to mainly be about passing data DialogFragment -> Activity. The OP's code is Activity -> Dialog.
But as I said though, many things still apply.

@sim I take the deleting of a closed post as a "well f**k you and have a nice day"... but that might be (hopefully) just my own interpretation.

Q: Feedback for a mostly auto-generated generic data layer

Matt SiekerI'm trying to make a reusable data layer that is mostly generated from a database via T4 templates. On top of this data layer, I'd like to have WebAPI endpoints for each repository, with most of the basic CRUD operations generated/from a base class. The generics are somewhat getting out of hand, ...

Doesn't seem like much code + Explicit question to how to design? ^
 
@Mat'sMug I was thinking the same thing (about the upvotes)
 
@skiwi I'd first think of why would this question be on-topic, and if I can't find anything, then I'd look for why would this question be off-topic. I think it's ok, but I'd like the truncated bits to be part of the post.

Just had a not-so-obscure thought ..... I mean seriously, people come here to be criticized ... and then complain when they are .... huh! ;-)
 
Are you using an ORM? It would be nice to see some implementations, and the truncated bits too (including the class bodies). — Mat's Mug 10 secs ago
@skiwi hmm the more I look at it, the more I wonder what makes it on-topic... but somehow I still believe it is.
 
It's a good question for a newer user. How are up votes interpreted here? I would think it's by "this is worth taking the time to review". Maybe a meta post is in order?
 
Why do we upvote questions?
