return Task.FromResult<object>(null);

This looks about as pointless as it gets

No wait, it does not. It's used to early return from an async method

but surely there must be a sexier way..

Step 3

very, very good tutorial on Identity 2.1, OWIN and OAuth so far

tomorrow when I wake up I'll implement all this fancy stuff

Phrancis

Will this get me punched?

        p = true;
        q = true;
        System.out.print(
				p + "\t" +
				 q + "\t" +
				 (p&q) + "\t" +
				 (p|q) + "\t" +
				 (p^q) + "\t" +
				 (!p)
		);

wtf formatting

mjolka

@JeroenVannevel afaict there is no reason for that method to be of type Task

rolfl

p^q gets you punched ....

Actually, it all gets you punched.

Jeroen Vannevel

03:25

@mjolka You would voluntarily return void from an async method?

rolfl

except !p

Jeroen Vannevel

making it void would 76.89% sure break it

Phrancis

@rolfl Exercises, eh; I almost punched myself

mjolka

@JeroenVannevel no, that's not a proper async method. there's no await. it will run synchronously

Phrancis

Looks alot better in Eclipse though

rolfl

03:27

See: docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/…

Jeroen Vannevel

@mjolka ah I see, good point

still though: it's override

Phrancis

rolfl

The logical operators &, | and ^ are very, very seldom used in Java.

mjolka

@JeroenVannevel good catch with the override

rolfl

Almost always, the operators used are &&, and ||

Jeroen Vannevel

03:28

The method is defined as part of Owin I believe, so you're stuck with it

how.. ugly

Phrancis

Not sure why the book's author is going out of his way to practice all those operators............

Jeroen Vannevel

I do notice that he writes his type parameters in full instead of allowing type inference to handle it

so it could be Task.FromResult(null)

Which is a little better

mjolka

@JeroenVannevel or create just one Task.FromResult<object>(null) and return that everywhere

rolfl

@Phrancis Note that, in each case, the & and | operators can be replaced with the fail-fast version && and ||

Phrancis

Gotcha

rolfl

03:30

@Phrancis The ^ operator can be replaced with !=

Jeroen Vannevel

Ah yes, that too. Although I don't like using an intermediate variable for multiple return statements

Phrancis

Main thing I was worried about getting punched about was the formatting...

        System.out.print(
				p + "\t" +
				q + "\t" +
				(p&q) + "\t" +
				(p|q) + "\t" +
				(p^q) + "\t" +
				(!p)
		);

mjolka

@JeroenVannevel i was thinking a private static readonly field

Phrancis

And DG this chat mangles the formatting so bad

mjolka

not sure if you'll like that either though :)

Jeroen Vannevel

03:31

@mjolka Outside of the method?!

heavy breathing

mjolka

@JeroenVannevel you know you love it

rolfl

@Phrancis - try:

System.out.printf("%b\t%b\t%b\t%b\t%b\t%b\n", p, q, p&q, p|q, p^q, !p);

Jeroen Vannevel

Widening scope is sort of like being in a hostage situation: I'll only comply if there's a gun to my head

Phrancis

@rolfl Result is the same! But the code is harder to read

rolfl

Depends on your background.... ^^^^

Phrancis

03:34

I do like tucking the \t right in there within the string

mjolka

@JeroenVannevel "If you regularly use Task.FromResult with the same value, consider caching the actual task. For example, if you create a Task<int> with a zero result once, then you avoid creating extra instances that will have to be garbage-collected." -- stephen "Tasks await ME" cleary

Phrancis

Not sure what %b is either :\

Jeroen Vannevel

@mjolka Only one instance will be created though, even though there are multiple return statements

And it's only used in the scope of this one method

mjolka

@JeroenVannevel multiple calls to the method

Jeroen Vannevel

ahh like that

hmmpf

I will consider it if I'm in a selfdestructive mood

rolfl

03:38

@Phrancis %b -> Format a boolean value as either "true", or "false"

Jeroen Vannevel

var props = new AuthenticationProperties(new Dictionary<string, string>

Weakly typed crap.. Whyyyyyyyy

rolfl

@Phrancis - Also, if you ask @skiwi to do it, you will get:

boolean p = true;
boolean q = true;
System.out.println(Stream.of(p, q, p&q, p|q, p^q, !p).map(String::valueOf).collect(Collectors.joining("\t")));

See: ideone.com/GtjW7N

Don't let that confound you, though ;p

@JeroenVannevel what's the project you're working on?

Q: Need help in my lab test thank you

What I may do is create a set of Menus that are basically Lists of MenuItems.

Then, I can have a List of Menus.

Phrancis

Hosch250

I can populate my value with the first item in each Menu, and load the contents of the menu, but that still has the problem of being easily breakable.

Phrancis

Hosch250

Not as easily breakable as what I have now, though, because I have every single page (probably about 100+) in a single collection.

@Phrancis Outliving The Great Variable Shortage

rolfl

@Phrancis Your code?

(please say no .... ;-) )

Phrancis

@rolfl shakes head... Yes

rolfl

Does it compile?

Phrancis

No, but it does with my new fixes (moar variables)

rolfl

05:05

(related: do you know what static does?)

Phrancis

Static... shocks?

rolfl

(also related: you know primitives cannot be null....?)

private static boolean first;
private static boolean second;

^^^ static

Phrancis

Guess adding static to avoid compile errors is probably not the right approach

rolfl

nope.

static means that every instance of your class shares the same variable.

which means, each time you create a new LogicalOperationsTable you overwrite all the previous versions of it's first and second variables.

See: docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/classvars.html

Phrancis

> On your own, try modifying the program so that it uses and displays 1s and 0s rather than true or false. This may involve a bit more effort than you might at first think

Probably trying too hard, converting the values instead of the logic

rolfl

05:11

How about this:

If (first) {
    System.out.print("1");
} else {
    System.out.print("0");
}

That just changes the output, though, admittedly

Phrancis

I have big enough hands to where basically all my forehead will fit in a facepalm

So...

<--- this

rolfl

Simplified down, it would be:

System.out.println(first ? "1" : "0");

Phrancis

Not a big fan of the ternary(?) operations...

rolfl

That will change, it's OK.

Phrancis

I was hoping for some different response, but I guess it will be OK.

I was instinctively thinking if output has to be 1 or 0, I need to convert the bool to int.

Guess humans can't really tell much difference between 1 and "1" after it's been put into the console

rolfl

05:24

Nope. And, it's bed time for me.

(for real).

mjolka

@Phrancis here's a hint, let's implement not

static int not(int a)
{
    // ??
}

Phrancis

Good night, count ~~sheep~~ bananas :)

@mjolka Go on, trying to follow but not there yet

mjolka

@Phrancis ok, so we're assuming a is either 1 or 0

if a is 1, we want not to return 0, and vice versa

Phrancis

Sure

mjolka

so how would you do that?

Phrancis

05:29

if not.a == 0 {return 1;} else {return 0;}

?

Pseudocode is probably all sorts of wrong

mjolka

@Phrancis that's fine, i think you mean if (a == 0) { return 1; } else { return 0; } ?

Phrancis

Probably

mjolka

ok, anything you're not sure about?

Phrancis

Myself, mostly :)

mjolka

:) ok just ask any questions you have, let me know if i'm not being clear

Phrancis

05:32

By any means, please don't feel pressured that you have to teach me, either

mjolka

@Phrancis no pressure at all

so let's just check that we're happy with this implementation of not

static int not(int a)
{
    if (a == 0) { return 1; } else { return 0; }
}

Phrancis

So we have a problem, if a is not either 0 or 1

mjolka

@Phrancis true! but we're just going to assume for now that all inputs will be either 1 or 0

Phrancis

Ok

mjolka

so -- code looks good?

Phrancis

05:35

Looks OK to this.beginner, for sure

mjolka

great, looks good to me too :)

so now let's try to do it without using if

the code should look like

static int not(int a)
{
    return (some arithmetic expression involving a);
}

Phrancis

Alright let me think for a sec

Hm. Brain fart. Sounds like this should be simple, like FizzBuzz using a modulus...

OK how about this

Awkward silence... still thinking

mjolka

np, take your time

i'm gonna pop out for a smoke

Phrancis

I might do that do, maths make my brain hurt

if (a / a == 0) {return 1;} else {return 0;} // this any better?

mjolka

05:52

ok, so we're trying not to use if at all

Phrancis

Oh. No clue then. I did think just now above could throw arithmetic exception... but I'm all ears!

mjolka

let's try to visualise it

if a == 0, we want 1. if a == 1, we want 0

so something like

Phrancis

OK

Still not getting it though, I really suck at math

I could think of a case statement to handle this, but I have a feeling that's not what you have in mind

mjolka

yeah, we're trying not to use case either

Phrancis

Give me a hint maybe?

mjolka

06:04

sure -- so the answer will look like return *expression* where expression consists of a, one constant, and exactly one of the following: +, -, *, /

Phrancis

return { a * 1 } // works?

Wait, no that's only half the operation...

mjolka

well if a == 1, that will return 1, but we want it to return 0 in that case

Phrancis

return{Math.abs(a - 1)}

mjolka

that works!

one last step -- can we remove Math.abs?

Phrancis

Probably, ... ... somehow

mjolka

06:20

you're so close :)

Phrancis

Good dogs this is difficult

:)

mjolka

yeah but imagine the satisfaction when you crack it

Phrancis

I'm picturing it

mjolka

so here's what Math.abs(a - 1) looks like

Phrancis

That's exactly the same graph you posted earlier, aside from the right part...

Guess there is a clue to be gathered

mjolka

06:28

here's one last hint: your constant, 1, was correct. your operator, -, was also correct :)

Phrancis

@mjolka And we're not relying on a technicality like unsigned integers?

mjolka

@Phrancis nope, just some arrangement of a, -, and 1

@Phrancis Are we implementing logical operators?

public static int not(int a) {
    return (~a) & 1;
}

public static int and(int a, int b) {
    return (a & b) & 1;
}

public static int or(int a, int b) {
    return (a | b) & 1;
}

public static int xor(int a, int b) {
    return (a ^ b) & 1;
}

And actually, that first one isn't quite right. It'll return 0 for any odd number and 1 for any even number probably.

return (~(a%2)) & 1; // maybe?

Or:

return (~(a & 1)) & 1;

nhgrif

11:17

Hmm, those don't work either.

Simon André Forsberg

Are we implementing bitwise integer operators or boolean logical operators?

@nhgrif - out of interest, you get a notification for:

Thanks for your code NHGrif! question: Where do you place the part of code after this sentence? "As one final note, rather than putting all of this code in our view controller, I'd probably abstract this into a stop watch struct. Something like this:" — Tjalling Dijkstra 44 mins ago

You should put post this code in the codereview section. Otherwise, could you tell us exactly where your code needs to be fixed? — logic 53 secs ago

@SimonAndréForsberg ntp is a daemon that should run independently of ntpdate.

@nhgrif ah, right...

@rolfl hmm... I'll check that out...

@simon -> `ps auxwww | grep ntp'

there should be a line like:

ntp       3402  0.0  0.0  39836  1528 ?        Ss   Feb26   1:31 /usr/sbin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -g -c /var/lib/ntp/ntp.conf.dhcp -u 119:127

We only accept working code. If a code needs fixing it does not belong on CodeReview. Go straight to Jail, do not pass Go, do not collect $200 — Dan Pantry 2 mins ago

@logic No, this does not belong on Code Review. Please read Be careful when recommending Code Review to askers — Simon André Forsberg 1 min ago

@rolfl yes, I kneww that, but wwith one or three w's?

rolfl

three

the w option adds more width to the output

you get more width with 3 w's than 1, or 0

Simon André Forsberg

aha

rolfl

although, it is a short command, and none is enough....

Simon André Forsberg

nope, not running

isn't crontab enough? Or is it 'better practice' to use ntpd?

rolfl

12:37

OK, then :

apt-get install ntp

crontab with ntpdate will correct the time on regular occasions.

ntpd will measure the drift and jitter of your clock, relative to other accurate time sources, and will keep the time "groomed" on your system and it will never then go out of time by more than a millisecond.

with ntpd running, you can be almost as accurate, all the time, as an atomic clock.

Also, with a drift like yours, and odd timing, you could end up doing various odd things, like creating files in the future, which is a PITA.

okay, thanks @rolfl

Q: Array to Tuple in Swift

I am burdened with the requirement of interacting with a C based library, which has a bunch of constant sized arrays (e.g. char[17]). When trying to assign or read those properties from swift, they are represented as a Tuple type of that size.. As far as I know, you can't access tuples with su...
