Because you're writing VB6?
 
There are 1302 unanswered questions
 
Because there are no try/catch blocks in VB6.
 
There are also no try/catch blocks in Swift.
 
I'm intrigued by Swift, but alas, I have no Mac.
 
Yeah, if swift was possible on windows I'd have taken a look at that instead of Go
@nhgrif's fanboyism pays off
 
12:06 AM
Does it count as fanboyism is you like something because it's the best option?
Okay, back on my computer, so let me demonstrate the proper way of doing methods that don't throw exceptions.
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://somewebsite.com/example.txt"];
    NSError *error;
    NSString *myString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:url encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:&error];
    if (error) {
        // there was an error, do something with it
    } else {
        // else, no problem, do something with myString
    }
@RubberDuck @JeroenVannevel @Hosch250 and anyone else who is interested in this conversation.
 
How does that differ from C#?
 
The method returns what you're actually looking for.
And, whether or not it works isn't a simple bool, but rather an NSError object, which is nil if it did not work, but filled with a useful error if it did not work.
 
Meh, that's no difference with C#. Most people just choose to swap those things
you can return any object you want, not just bool
 
> Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=260 "The file “example.txt” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file." UserInfo=0x100305700 {NSURL=somewebsite.com/example.txt, NSUnderlyingError=0x100308790 "A server with the specified hostname could not be found."}
And, generally (but not always) when there was an error, the method returns nil, so if it doesn't matter whether or not it worked, you can simplify it down to...
 
I'll take any exception over any NSError anytime
 
12:17 AM
oops
    NSString *myString;
    if ((myString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:url encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil])) {
        // do stuff with myString
    }
But most importantly, in Objective-C, there's no null pointer exception, so you might not even care to check whether or not it even returned anything.
    NSString *myString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:url encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
    NSData *data = [myString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
@Mat'sMug Why?
 
Because "returning an error [code|object]" is so 1980 ;)
 
By that, do you mean it has worked for 35 years?
 
But when your language is a contemporary of COBOL I guess it flies...
I'm just messing with you
 
Exceptions are reserved for truly exceptional behavior. Objective-C throws exceptions. Every single exception that Objective-C throws (if it's out of Apple's libraries and not code that idiots wrote) is an exception that is the result of a logic failure.

Q: Scaling the last column in a table (with input) to match the container

rolflI recently ran in to a problem with the presentation of data related to a graph. Each series of data has values that define the 'curve'. There can be a lot of these values, and I decided that there was not enough space in the 'legend' to include all the details for the curve. I decided to have a ...

 
if ((1 as Int + 1 as Int == 2 as Int) as Bool) == true { println("Types where the context makes them obvious just get in the way of readability" as String) as Void }Airspeed Velocity 1 min ago
@Mat'sMug Division by zero is undefined behavior.
 
> You know nothing, John Snow Mug
So i is just assigned undefined trash?
 
int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
    @autoreleasepool {
        NSLog(@"DivByZero? %i", 42/0);
    }
    return 0;
}
That prints "DivByZero? 1"
The behavior is not defined.
If you're not using Objective-C, it works exactly like it would in C.
 
12:44 AM
@nhgrif NSError actually reminds me an awful lot of VB6's global Errobject.
I'm assuming NSError is scoped though?
 
It's just like any other object.
Age 5: defiance... followed by pouting when the adults punish your disobedience.
 
Interesting. Yeah. I wish VB6's behaved a bit more like that, but the concept is very similar really.
Sounds right. =;)-
 
Also, 4-5 year olds don't understand "never" or "always"
Go to the park Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Thursday it's rainy. "Can we go to the park?" "Not today, it's rainy." "We never go to the park. It's always raining."

@200_success I voted to reopen. Code works as intended, OP just needs a little crash course on terminology.

@tal1992 Really friendly: You had many correct answers over multiple questions. The problem is that you can't put the pieces together. What you need is ask help from your TA's/professor or maybe address your question to codereview.stackexchange.com. In either case, you won't find any lack to SO, since it's not a code writing service.

@rolfl Do you use Trello on Android by a chance?
 
@skiwi I do not.
But I know a lot of people who do (i.e. Stack Exchange staff use it almost always).

Ah ok, I signed up using my Google account, but it won't let me log in using my Google account on Android
 
IBM has this thing about storing plans on competitor services .... ;-)
 
It doesn't do that? ;)
 
@SimonAndréForsberg yes, I did... I am saying it's listed under the close reasons
also it can (and possibly should) contribute to closing a question
but as "only" reason to close a question it doesn't have a raison d'étre
 
@Vogel612 it's listed there, yes, but it doesn't actually close questions, it migrates them. And CR doesn't have that option for anything other than CR-Meta, and SO doesn't have CR as an option there either.
 
which is a technical limitation
then again migrated posts are still available on the origin site for the next 30 days
 
11:44 AM
I am not convinced SO will have CR later either as a target site.
 
also they show up in the question list with [migrated] added to their title
which is more similar to [on hold] than you and nhgrif seem to want to admit
 
@nhgrif and I are against the fact that SO users uses Close -> Off Topic -> Other -> "This is off topic because it belongs on Code Review".
You should vote to close with a custom reason because it is off-topic on the current site, not because there is a site it might fit "better"
 
and that's completely true... but -.-
SO users being SO users
and watchdog-like scope guardsmanship
and "We only want questions that absolutely fit our definition"...
and "Better move the crap we don't want somewhere else" aren't helping all that much
 
That's the exactly the wrong attitude that closing as belonging elsewhere encourages though.
 
So when @Jamal says "If you feel that it still belongs on a different site, feel free to vote to close." (about the question from SO that ended up on CR) I cannot do anything other than disagree.
 
11:49 AM
It should be on or off topic based purely on SO's own help center and should be closed for reasons defined there.
 
@rolfl Is there a place on chat where they hide?
 
There is, the "Teacher's Lounge" ... ;-)
 
If it is on topic here and a good question, it should be migrated, and voting to close it as a migration candidate fails both of these.
No where in SO's help center are Code Reviews ruled explicitly off-topic (but you can generally make a case for unclear or too broad).
And no where in any SE's site are questions which might be on-topic elsewhere defined as being necessarily off-topic where they are. There is overlap.

Migration and closing are pretty different, even if they have some similarities and are both under the closing menu.
"I'm voting to close this because it belongs on..." Shouldn't even be allowed as a custom close reason.
 
hmm...
 
Maybe I should open a MSE to that effect...
 
@nhgrif I think that's a good idea. That custom close reason just goes against the spirit of SE IMO.

6pm-9pm is annoying for dinner, that's biggest argument :D Yeah, it's nothing life-threatening, I know
 
9pm? That's past my bedtime. No way I'd offer my time to proctor an exam for you.
 
I have a feeling the examinators are not happy with this change either

@rolfl Not as much as I would like to know.
Oh, you mean the twitter account? I thought you meant the subject of text data mining itself...
 
I meant the account, yeah... no-one I know is related to that, as far as I know anyway

A: Is it too easy to post your code for review?

RubberDuckTo answer the surface question, "Is it too easy to post your code for review?", the answer is an emphatic No. It certainly is not too easy to post code for review. I don't think it could be too easy. In fact, it should be as easy as possible to come to our community and ask a question in my opini...

Q: java Backend code

Dmitry KudriavcevI study JavaEE and make my project for experience. And i need help in a small code-review. I want to understand how best to write from the point of view of architecture and use of relevant technologies. It is particularly interesting to hear about the implementation of REST-layer. The purpose o...

 
@rolfl If you're high enough, you can always see the sun.
 
^^^ personal record, I think.... asked&closed in 20 seconds or so..... I know, I know, closing things should not be a competition.

@RubberDuck You got mail comment
 
Then downvote more. =;)- — RubberDuck 20 secs ago
 
And comment
Downvotes without comments would only turn us into Stack Overflow
 
Oh. Yes. Agreed.
 
@rolfl If editing is a competition (@Jamal), then why not also closing?
 
@SimonAndréForsberg because mods have an unfair advantage when it comes to closing. =)
 
1:54 PM
There is no competition when it comes to editing.
I mean, who could compete?

true that ^^
 
Hmmm relevant to that meta me thinks.
 
As a site, we have 3 active mods. It's not apparent to most users on most sites, but our mod-participation is generally much higher than other sites.
 
Greetings, Programs. It's F R I D A Y !!!!!!!!!
 
1:56 PM
Also, what's not apparent to regular users, is that there's a mod dashboard....
 
Thank you, @RubberDuck
 
=;)-
 
which lists the activities of the mods as a table, with statistics..... including things like comments, posts, etc. and deletes, closes, etc.
I am always the loser on the dashboard, with fewer votes, edits, comments, closes than either Jamal or 200....
 
@rolfl Yeah, like the fact that I'm the only active mod left on Astronomy.
 
I am your worst-performing mod.
 
1:58 PM
You perform a different function.
 
But, compared to other sites, my bad performance is spectacular ;)
 
I wish more people looked at this though. codereview.stackexchange.com/tools

@rolfl I'm the top mod on Astronomy in many categories, but I've only handled 233 flags.
 
1.1K, and a mod for 1 year
