Q: Good IO library design

nablexA while ago I designed an IO library that tries to bridge the gap between sync & async I/O. The initial impetus was that I wanted to design some utilities that could work both with async and sync I/O and any type of content (bytes, chars,...). However the nio design of Buffer/Channel falls a bit...

Q: Logging using function as decorator in Guava

KoziołekI needed to add a logger into my flow based on FluentIterable from the Guava library. I have a lot of functions and in some cases I would like to add logging when in other cases (for the same function) I would not. Of course the natural solution for this problem is to use the decorator pattern,...

@JeroenVannevel Each rule has to be figured out inside this same method, and they do it in order, so for each rule there is accessing a different part of an XML file to see if certain information exists, so when one of these goes to set a rule to true, I just return instead. eventually I will turn each one into a method that is called from this method. like I said it's ugly spaghetti

A: Logging using function as decorator in Guava

rolflThe concept seems fine to me. The problem is that you will still need to decide whether to decorate, or not decorate the function, and that is done outside the function. That makes it a once-per-create decision, which is OK, but you may still end up with a lot of conditions in your code: Functio...

Unsafe code is less secure than safe alternatives.
 
@rolfl I'm struggling to read that. That is saying "An insecure thing is insecure", right?
 
Maybe it's saying you can get hacked if you have fire hazards

actually
Evil pointer hacking code is not safe.
It can lead to buffer overflows.
This is a security leak.
Safe alternatives are more secure than unsafe code.

There are so many options for doing server-side stuff though, I was going to go for PHP since it is so common and there are tons and tons of resources. It's just a bit ... ugly.
 
@Phrancis The abundance of resources does not mean it's good! There are other options that could be fun to do for back end. But back end for you is like REST Api or deliver static page or something with a templating engine ?
 
I have no idea what that means lol.
I think at first we would deliver static page since it's simpler
 
REST API will "serve" you data like json, that will be then use in a web app (like a JS app)
Static page is where your back end will send you html pages
 
ASP.NET is pretty fun. All the cool kids use it
 
and template engine will add a bit more "dynamic" things in it! (Staitic and template are the "same" thing)
 
7:15 PM
My thought was basically this:
- User supplies values via HTML form;
- POST values get passed to a DB connector;
- DB executes a function and passes it back to the connector;
- Data is displayed
 
you're missing step 1.5
HTML doesn't talk to database
 
@Phrancis It will not exactly be like that
 
that's where you insert your serverside code
- Frontend: user requests page
- Backend: controller returns page
- Frontend: user inputs data in form and sends it
- Backend: controller receives data
- Backend: controller talks to database
- Backend: controller returns page
 
Well yeah that's kind of what I meant by DB connector, perhaps the wrong vernacular!
 
I'm not too sure why that connector is so important in your scenario though - often you'll actually use the database for very little. You'll use an ORM tool like Entity-Framework or Hibernate to translate method calls to db queries

What about JavaScript, is that any good for back-end?
 
Yeah, it's been getting popular. But then again: it's JavaScript.

Otherwise I'm totally open minded
 
@JeroenVannevel Cough
 
JavaScript can be good in good hand
 
Also, there's Python.
 
But you got Ruby on rails too that could be a good option, Scala , etc.
 
@Phrancis I just adore the Microsoft stack, it's that easy. C# is an exquisite language, Visual Studio is by far the best editor and the combination of SQL Server, Azure, ASP.NET MVC/Web Api, Razor, etc all create an unparallelled ecosystem
 
but find what works for you, there are alternatives to everything

Q: Easy bitset IO v2

DanielIn a previous question I posted a method for easy std::bitset IO on a bit-for-bit basis. This question was later followed up in another solution. Both of these solutions had limitations; the interface of my original solution was not pretty, and the second method was limited to 64 bit std::bitsets...

 
Is 4 lines of relevant code worth a review request? Basically I just want to know whether I am taking the right approach in injecting a header in my web api unit tests
 
@JeroenVannevel Doesn't that sound more like a programmers question?

Maintenance is an issue for performance, because if you can't read your code efficiently than you have a decrease in developer performance, or worse more bugs because something was read wrong. — Malachi 6 hours ago

Q: CSMR: Cosine Similarity with MapReduce

IrishDogI'm working on a project for Large-Scale Text Processing, and the code at the link bellow, is a first implementation of the basic idea of CSMR. CSMR is an algorithm that measures the similarity between documents by calculating their cosine in the vector space in parallel manner, using MapReduce m...

in C#, instead of int[,] matrix = new int[dim, dim];, I can simply write var matrix = new int[dim, dim]; right?
 
thanks!
 
Every type at the start of the expression can be substituted with var
And sometimes it's required (like when you create an anonymous type)
unless the variable isn't initialized
string poop; is required, var poop; isn't allowed

@KonradViltersten With the current implementation of Dictionary, I belive that requires removing items from the dictionary. But saying "I don't remove anything, so I should be fine" is relying on undocumented implementation details, and you shouldn't do that. — svick yesterday

Q: Parser for programming language

Q: Django ListView with MySQL query for the queryset

@JeroenVannevel isn't async void meant only for events?
 
@mjolka yep. But it's not necessarily needed from the top calling method
so some people don't do it
which is grounds for execution, really

@JeroenVannevel: Was I wrong about the closure on CR? It just sounds like the OP was asking for some clarification, not a review for improvement.
 
@Jamal To me it reads as if his code works but that he didn't quite knew whether he used methods correctly
 
I think it's a good call. Code works, OP wants to learn. Where better than CR?
 
I was either going to redirect him to a tutorial or to CR
Figured it could be okay here

Hence why I closed as unclear, not off-topic.

@Mat'sMug Something like that, yes ;-)

as far as I know, there are still people on that winning streak... but, it's a bit of a cheat, because they were members before the system was started to count these things.
 
Although I'll have to find a way to make things work during my Argentina trip next summer
 
So, they may have broken records from before that.
 
@rolfl I think my upvote just got him a [badge:guru]

That's what friends are for ;-)
@Mat'sMug Go on, comment there (if you don't, I will... ;-)
 
I'm not sure if I can trust them with something as delicate as this
 
There's always the Dori option you know.
 
@rolfl go ahead ;)
 
I believe this makes you a guru.... ;-) Is the streak still happening? — rolfl 1 min ago
