@rolfl is there any point making UI control disable and then hiding it ? Isn't just one enough ?

rolfl

@JaDogg That is an 'it depends' answer.

Technically, you should disable the functionality, and the control should respond accordingly.

JaDogg

It's JavaFX, and I see no point of hiding it again.

rolfl

And, the 'accordingly' depends on the features you want to do... like 'disable' the print button if there is no printer, but hide the 'security' button if you are not an administrator.

@DanPantry Considering the comment you wrote on Mat's question (the UoW), do you think your workload would have been bigger to : a) switch your code from EF to SQL or b) code an UoW that supports switching from one to the other without too many problems? (No irony or anything, just trying to start a conversation!)

@Kaan I am pleased you are, by the way, I have seen your avatar, and.... it is significant to me.

Dan Pantry

@TopinFrassi I switched from EF to SQL while being tightly bound to EF - new Context() everywhere.

I figure my workload would have been lighter if I wasn't a prat a year ago when I wrote the code.

Dan Pantry

You don't necessarily need to write a light-weight UoW solution, you need to simply create non-generic repository interfaces

rolfl

I built HAL9000..... once.

Dan Pantry

Then all that's left is to create implementations for each ORM - so, new MyRepository(context) or new MyRepository(dbConnection)

Unfortunately, I did not do this and paid the price. it took me a good day of refactoring and head-bashing to get it working again.

php design-patterns classes

TopinFrassi

Though having a generic repository can have its upsides too, there's less code to write, but you're bound to do sssooo many generics that if you ever have to switch, you might start as well start all over. Why did you have to switch to SQL? Did you have problems with EF?

Dan Pantry

@TopinFrassi I found better performance in SQL than I was goign to achieve in EF. In the app, EF performance was bottle-necking.

Plus, EF doesn't make it very clean to use stored procedures

bazola

3:18 PM

@rolfl what makes it an odd interpretation of the future?

rolfl

Seen it?

bazola

of course

TopinFrassi

Yeah query performances using EF can be pretty terrible.. And you need to have a DatabaseFirst schema to make the better use of SP, so it's a pain

Dan Pantry

Generic repositories are fine until you want to start adding more 'defined' functionality to your repositories. Then you either end up with TRepository : ITRepository, IRepository<T> (which looks messy) - or you end up with giving everyone the 'defined' methods who implements IRepository<T>

When it got to that point it just made more sense to create the six interfaces I needed rather than bugger about with IoC and all the head-achy mess I was creating

rolfl

The monolith, the social scenes on the space stations (not the actual voyage ship), the artsy concept of the evolution of man, the final destinations... all very bizarre.

TopinFrassi

3:21 PM

I've never faced a scenario where using the generic add/remove etc wasn't enough

But yeah, once you realize your code has no reason to be generic, un-generify it!

bazola

i would call that a layer of "fantasy" on top of the actual interpretation of the future, which is a hard scifi picture of slow moving, dangerous, long voyages to places as "close" as jupiter

Dan Pantry

@TopinFrassi stored procedures and working on complex data sets

@TopinFrassi we had your standard entities that just held relationship info but some of those entities had computations run on their children that needed to be encapsulated somehow.

rolfl

@bazola I would agree with you, and I would say it is more then just 'worth watching', but, I also find things funny with it now that it's.... 40 years old?

45 years old.

bazola

its hard to watch because of how long it is, and how slow the pace is

but lots of its ideas have been expanded on repeatedly, such as dangerous and deadly AIs

TopinFrassi

Where I work, we ended up building an abstract querying layer over our generic repository to deal with complex queries (probably a month of work, but well.. It was sort of worth it). But for store procs, we had a repository on the side that was used to run sp's (that was a terrible idea)

rolfl

3:25 PM

@bazola - you seem to be misinterpreting my statements a fair amount... I was asked: "Never seen Space Odyssey... is it serious or humorous?"

Dan Pantry

@TopinFrassi Repository specific for StoredProcedures seems to be very.. encapsulation-violating :(

But, hey, if it works, it works,r ight?

rolfl

I answered, that it was serious at the time, but now I find parts humourous.

Dan Pantry

Some of our data sets were well into the millions of records, so when it gets to that point it makes sense to use SQL :p

bazola

not trying to put you on the spot or anything. the comment that it was an odd interpretation of the future just piqued my curiousity

TopinFrassi

@DanPantry That's why I'm saying it was terrible. But, it worked

Perhaps the funny parts for me were the fakiness of the ape scenes, etc.... but, it's like watching the initial episodes of Star Trek... damn, it's funny.

I understand that, SQL is ultimately more performant than EF

@Donald.McLean Little house on the prairie?

Simon André Forsberg

It's nuts, I've barely managed to contain myself the past four months! And now when it's finally starting again, I have to wait for a few more days!!

skiwi

I've got no clue about which show you are talking about :P

Donald.McLean

@SimonAndréForsberg I still have the outline for the game system.

@skiwi Person of Interest

Simon André Forsberg

@skiwi Person of Interest!

@Donald.McLean Nice! Been doing any more work on it since last time?

skiwi

Still doesn't ring a single bell, sorry to let you down :(

Person of Interest (TV series)

Person of Interest is an American crime drama television series created by Jonathan Nolan that premiered on September 22, 2011, on CBS. The series revolves around John Reese (Jim Caviezel), a former CIA officer recruited by Harold Finch (Michael Emerson), a mysterious billionaire to prevent violent crimes in New York City. The series has been renewed for a fourth season, which will premiere on September 23, 2014. == Plot == In the beginning, John Reese, a former Green Beret and CIA operative, is living as a vagrant in New York City after the death of the woman he loves, and is presumed dead. He...

Malachi

like 80% of the newest questions are Downvoted on Programmers, programmers.stackexchange.com/questions , would love to run that fun SEDE query about owned rep on that site

Phrancis

Then... do it @Malachi

Simon André Forsberg

@Donald.McLean SPOILER ALERT!

oh I like that one

6:26 PM

@SimonAndréForsberg I need to figure out how to represent game properties for characters and organizations.

Malachi

3 people have destroyed 150k worth of rep on Programmers....

data.stackexchange.com/programmers/query/194591/…

Phrancis

Holy crap

Simon André Forsberg

@Donald.McLean Implementation-wise? That shouldn't be a problem I think. How about using an Entity Component System? (if you've heard about it, that is)

skiwi

@Malachi 100K destroyed...

Simon André Forsberg

@janos The TV show or @Malachi's query?

janos

6:28 PM

now both :)

earlier I meant the TV show

Malachi

gnat is a downvoting fool

Donald.McLean

@SimonAndréForsberg Does not ring a bell.

Malachi

it's actually @Vogel612 's query I think

1 person = 100k in destroyed rep

Phrancis

Simon André Forsberg

@Donald.McLean it treats all game objects as entities, an entity consists of any number of components. Then there's systems that does work on the components of an entity, and can add or remove components from the entity as well. It's commonly used in game programming (although more in real-time games than turn-based games, I have started to use it even for turn-based though).

This question on gamedev explains it quite well:

Q: Role of systems in entity systems architecture

I've been reading a lot about entity components and systems and have thought that the idea of an entity just being an ID is quite interesting. However I don't know how this completely works with the components aspect or the systems aspect. A component is just a data object managed by some relev...

@janos the TV show is the best :)

in The Whiteboard, 23 secs ago, by Malachi

3 users have an estimated total rep destruction of about 150k. you might want to keep an eye on one of them...

rolfl

^^^ You like playing with fire?

Malachi

@Phrancis is that the top 20?

@rolfl right?

rolfl

That query is only top 20 creators, not destroyers.

Malachi

and Gnat is #4 at creation...

rolfl

Here it is as the top 20 destroyers: data.stackexchange.com/programmers/query/227160/…

Simon André Forsberg

6:36 PM

@Jamal is the top destroyer on CR, should we keep an eye on him too?

With me at second place.

And oh, look at that, @Malachi at third.

I believe gnat has a reason for each and every one of those downvotes.

Mat's Mug

monking!

@TopinFrassi woah you put a 100pts bounty on that question?!!

Phrancis

It does seem a bit disproportionate compared to some of the other sites... DBA - SO

@Mat'sMug MONKING!

Marc-Andre

Maybe 80% of the questions are not worth upvoting. And I see a lot of questions here with no votes but with answer. So... I guess it's not a perfect world !

Phrancis

But I don't know that it's that great of an idea to meddle in how they manage their sites

TopinFrassi

@Mat'sMug Yeah, I'm really interested in seeing how this little repository could be perfect, if it isn't already.

+ I wanted a reason to set a bounty on something for the badge.. :p

@RubberDuck remember that Excel app I built with MVP/Uow+Repository patterns in VBA? Well I just finished migrating it to SQL Server - I hereby confirm that my VBA UnitOfWork works with transactions! :)

Marc-Andre

stackoverflow.com/users/341571/heidelbergensis -> wow that downvote stats !

Mat's Mug

@TopinFrassi ah, fair enough :)

TopinFrassi

Monkternoon, by the way!

Marc-Andre

@Phrancis We should not, we should focus on our site!

(isn't the badge only awarded if the bounty gets manually awarded though?)

I...don't...know.. ahah

Simon André Forsberg

@Mat'sMug two separate badges (and monking)

Mat's Mug

ah, don't remember, got those a year ago or so :)

@Phrancis I wasn't fair with the MySQL server... I mean, yeah, the SQL Server stuff is faster, but so is the server the instance it's running on, so I don't have comparable environments... which is a good thing - I'd rather not have a shitty database environment for my SQL Server instance!

Phrancis

Makes sense

Mat's Mug

still, MySQL ETL ran in 50 minutes; according to logs the SQL Server ETL ran in 30-some minutes, including moving the whole data source to the Staging database, and creating all needed indexes... MySQL takes about 25 minutes just to create one of the indexes I'm using!

@Malachi The query does not account for free question downvotes though... so it shouldn't actually be 3, but ...whatever

Actually I think I got the bounty badges during winterbash - and got a hat for it ;)
