Q: Offering rewards for a trade in

CameronI want the website to be able to offer a gift card or something when someone sends something in. How do I offer gift cards from other stores without the customer having to buy something?

@CaptainObvious Since when did that look on-topic to you?
Isn't CO a bot?
@CaptainObvious What website?
@Gemtastic that doesn't stop us from talking to it
00:04
@Jamal Code Review perhaps? Code Review gift cards. Now that would be something.
@Gemtastic I have seriously no clue what that face is supposed to mean.
@SimonAndréForsberg The image I get of you when you talk to a bot like a person :')
@SimonAndréForsberg Oops. I should've migrated to Meta. :-/
And also, the way I feel when people rather talk to a bot than me :/
We often talk to @CaptainObvious around here whenever we want to comment about a recent question.
I dunno what to say when someone wants to whine about how their question got shredded, and they truly were OffTopic...

I don't need to go to Australia and NZ, met enough of them in England I feel I know them well enough ;-) Mind you, I will have places to stay in each.
Maybe not with the kids though.

Yesterday I rediscvered the joy of using a debugger andd trying to understand assembly.
I did not miss that. Also, I realize that I was used to reading ARM assembly, not x86 assembly.
12:54
Funny how assembly is assembly, until you actually have to do it, and then you realize that you need the actual instruction set and errata for your actual hardware, and that each system is slightly different (or very different).
Slightly different may actually be worse than vry different.
mips, pic, arm, m68k, intel*, etc. What a pain in the derrière,
I kind of like ARM assembly: wanna jump? No problem, we have whateverthenjump instructions all over the place.
Just so long as you don't call jump "GOTO" it's OK, right?

12:57
Haha, I totally not explained what I wanted to explain...
It's not whateverjump, but whateverifcondition.
ahh, like the jump-not-zero, jump-zero, jump >0 jump < 0 ... etc
Yeah, or add if zero, sub if > 0, etc...
It saves writing a lot of jumps.
PIC assembler has this instruction family 'skip*', which skips the next instruction with a number of test conditions....
This is how you encode branch conditions, because you have a negative-test before each of them;-)
So, if you want to go somewhere, you have a call instruction....
but, if you want to make it conditional, you put the negative test in the previous skip....
so, if you want to call when a condition is 0 in the W register:
skipnzw
call subroutine
which will skip the call if the W is not 0
EVerything is encoded as double-negatives.
And that's why BrainF*ck is easy... ;-)

I don't even want to have to deal with that.

14:00
@AlexM. - you're lucky - pascal was my first language.... unfortunately it had the word 'turbo' in front of it, and it was on an amber monitor....
Actually, BASIC was my first, byt my first language in uni was Pascal.
I worked with turbo pascal first too, but way after free pascal became a thing, this because of high school stuff
pascal was my 2nd language, after VB6
while I hated high school programming, I liked the language
@AlexM. star all the VB6 things!
I'm such a masochist.....
I was moved on to dev-pascal and fpc too after a year or so though
school thought it would have been too much work to get turbo pascal to work in dosbox on vista. heh.
I'm mostly a VBA dev, so I'm fairly acquainted with the backwardness of VB6.
Nice answer there, @AlexM.

They've had a some CDN issues recently, could be more of those

old shorts..?
Sold it for about 20% of the official manual's cost at the end of the year.... best manual out there.
yes, old shorts. You need some fiber in the glue to keep it flexible enough and strong enough at the spine.
A @rolfl pro tip. :) I'll add that one to my knowledge base.
What should operator&(uint, gray<uint>) return? An uint or a gray<uint>?
14:16
Someone poing me when the site is usable... thanks ;-)
@Morwenn Why not a void*? ;)
@skiwi One does not simply return void*.
7
Is there an operator&(gray<uint>, gray<uint>)?
There is.
The problem is that uint and gray<uint> represent the same information. But the underlying bits are not the same.
So, I would return the gray<uint> so you can chain together the results in a way that makes sense...
A & B & C
14:19
Well, but operator&(uint, uint) returns an uint.
yes it returns the argument right of the &
but you are not planning on overiding the (uint, uint) are you?
@rolfl Thanks for the comprehensive answer. Probably classic example of reinventing the wheel.
Making bitwise operations between types that are actually well-defined sequences of bits the same size still make sense.
@Erfan You're welcome... and yes, but your script looks 'sincere' not like it is a 'jsut because' thing
14:21
@rolfl I wrote uint, but you can understand unsigned int. Since it's a built-in type, it is not possible to overload the operator&(uint, uint) :p
@Morwenn which is exactly why I was going down that path ;-)
I think that I won't define operator& between uint and gray<uint> since it will be ambiguous. I will let the user do what they want.
I still define gray<T>::operator&=(T) though. In this case, it's obvious that the return type is gray<T>& and not T. I will add a layer of documentation to cover the design choices.
@Morwenn I know, it would be totally unconfusing to anyone using it
@skiwi People would know that they have to be careful.

Q: Major speed issues across the network?

T.J. CrowderStarting about 40 minutes ago (~13:45 GMT 3 November), SO, SE, and MSE at least all seem to be really slow. I'm not seeing issues with non-SE sites (not that that's scientific). Is there some network issue or similar?

14:34
Guys quick question: I've been commenting every line with a simple explanation of what's happening, step by step. This makes it easier for me to read through my code any time and understand quickly what I mean to do, find mistakes, and I imagine it'll help others understand my code easily in group projects. Is this an acceptable practice?
Not EVERY line
The theory is that if you write the code with decent variable names, and logical syntax, that the code is readable without the comments.
self-documenting.
You know the content is good with a URL like that.
Having additional comments over time leads to confusion because when you change the code you have to change the comments too.
I keep them up-to-date, as a general habit
Are you the only developer?
14:37
Well I actually got into the practice more recently when working with other developers
I re-wrote a big script and wanted them to be able to follow it easily
They seemed to pick up the practice. But right now I'm developing alot of code and want to develop good habits while I'm at it
It's difficult to enforce those "standards" of keeping comments up to date as the code is modified. I agree with @rolfl, I would document the parts of the code that are difficult to follow or are complex, and use self-documenting features like verbose naming, and strong unit testing (a good unit test is better than documentation any day of the week).
So rofl, you'd recommed not commenting each function, important section, line, etc?
Also, in general, the comments should describe the intent of the cod,e not what the code does.
6
right, I learned that much here with you guys
There's a fine line between when comments are helpful, and a PITA. I prefer large comment blocks at the top of a function that says: "this function needs to do X, Y, and Z, and these are the constraints and assumptions you need to accomodate...."
Then, the only comments in the rest of the method are pointint back to that 'specification' saying "Do this because of constraint C".
14:41
I gotcha
Ok, I'll follow that suggestion. Thanks
The actual code should be easy to correlate back to the the spec. If it is hard, then either the spec is broken, or the code is not self-documentng enough.
I personally opted for an external documentation where I can group and document the different features as I want.
@Morwenn that would be good.. like GitHub's in-line comments?
I'm thinking the comment / documentations need to stay with the code
@jt0dd Like Sphinx without autodoc.
I still have some doxygen comments in my code though.
But documenting overloads and template specializations in C++ for example is always a mess, whatever the tool you use and full code coverage is sometimes useless.
There are many examples of code where traditional documentation tools are useless and where a hand-written human-comprehensible documentation is better.
In JavaScript comments can stay pretty minimal
I usually do

//what this is intended to do
function doIt(){//code}

but I'l be trying what rofl said, which promotes a more dependency aware documentation.
