Yes, it's valid for the three basic operations. Not for division.

Fine. Now maybe someone else writes it. ;)

Phrancis

I deleted Eclipse by accident. FML.

Quill

@Phrancis But was it really by accident?

Phrancis

I was doing cleanup because disk was getting full, and it must have went along with Netbeans and MySQL

Quill

Ouch, how much disk space do you have total?

Phrancis

Actually, no, MySQL is still there, but NetBeans is gone

Quill

3:04 AM

I find that Macs often have a lot less space than most other computers, it's a shame

Phrancis

Quill

I have 120gb on my Macbook

Try AVG Cleaner on the Mac App Store

Free and handy

maaartinus

@QPaysTaxes "long versions of add and sub" - but how?

return add(mod(x), mod(y));

does 3 modulus operations, which is surely one or two too many. I'd like something more efficient.

Phrancis

Oh, well. Guess I'll have to install Tomcat on IntelliJ so I can edit my website

Quill

also AVG anti-virus for mac is completely free too

Phrancis

3:07 AM

IntelliJ so far has been superior in every possible regards, except that it doesn't have Tomcat. So I think it's a pretty easy problem to solve.

maaartinus

@QPaysTaxes The problem is overflow. You can find a simple test for it in

Q: Saturated arithmetic

For project Euler, I need quite often to test things like is x*y*z < 1e18. Since BigInteger is usually too slow, long overflows, and double may return incorrect result due to rounding, I wanted to use long with appropriate checks. As Guava's LongMath.checkedMultiply throws, it can't be used as ex...

@QPaysTaxes Mac, Windows or Linux?

@QPaysTaxes Lol, not Xcode

Windows Users: 0, Mac Users: 1

:P

Phrancis

Mac Users: 2

Quill

@QPaysTaxes :P

At least you didn't type infiltrate instead of inflate

That would've deserved a lol

Phrancis

I think Apple prices are actually right where they should be. You can buy POS Windows-ran computers for the same prices and have twice the problems

Quill

3:12 AM

It's funny how when you walk into a university library these days, basically everyone's on a Macbook, but schools and libraries you have so many windows clones

Phrancis

@QPaysTaxes Maybe you can. But John Q. User can't.

Quill

@Phrancis, Are you going to get El Capitan?

Phrancis

Eh, this MacBook is about 8 years old and still works like a charm

Paid 900$ for it

I have an Apple G4 tower, still works good (though very slow with today's software)

Phrancis

@QPaysTaxes Maybe add "begins 2015-06-29 19:00Z"

Ethan Bierlein

@QPaysTaxes You can ask a mod to edit it.

Just flag it

Mat's Mug

don't

Ethan Bierlein

A: Virtual machine management with decorated selfies

You code looks great, and I only have just a few tips on style. Although, to be completely honest, I'm really not familiar with some of the libraries/modules/frameworks being used here, but, I'm going to try for the best answer possible. Disclaimer: A few of these tips are borrowed from @Quill's ...

Jamal

Yes, I could change that.

Quill

@EthanBierlein My answer is deleted lol, take the disclaimer away if you like

Mat's Mug

@QPaysTaxes there's no ", etc." yet ;-)

Quill

Janos shot down basically every tip I gave so I deleted it

Ethan Bierlein

@Quill Nah, even if the answer is deleted, it's still your tip, so I'll give attribution

SORRY

Mat's Mug

3:25 AM

@QPaysTaxes nope. Duga doesn't have mod privs

Ethan Bierlein

I keep accidentally hitting "enter"

Mat's Mug

...unless @Duga is nominated?

Ethan Bierlein

@Mat'sMug Duga can't be nominated. She doesn't have the required 300+ rep.

Quill

@QPaysTaxes The mods really should only be bothered if it's serious

That kind of feature is really unnecessary

Ethan Bierlein

Duga shouldn't be a mod.

Oh, okay.

There you go :)

Quill

3:27 AM

Yeah, we'll also add a Duga feature that goes along the lines of:

Youtube autoplay came up with this, and I love it.

Quill

3:30 AM

@QPaysTaxes Remind me to do that sometime

The script part, not the terrorism joke part

How much rep does it require to see deleted answers?

Mat's Mug

until graduation is in full effect, 2K. after that, 10K

Ethan Bierlein

@QPaysTaxes And I have 12

And 6 necromancer

Mat's Mug

> After 7 days, the top 30 nominees, ordered by reputation, advance to the primary phase. However, if there are 10 or fewer candidates, we skip directly to the election phase.

so, we need at least 11 candidates

Ethan Bierlein

Now if some santas could vote on this answer, I could get a seventh necromancer.

@Mat'sMug What if there are only 10 or less, but more than 4?

Mat's Mug

but... we want to have a preliminary phase!

Ethan Bierlein

3:34 AM

Yes ^^

Quill

Hey, a STV script/program might be a fun waste of time for those without a job to currently do for the next 14+ hours

Ethan Bierlein

I'm working on the beginnings of my Python preprocesser right now.

It'll only include the until statement.

@QPaysTaxes Explain

Cool. I'll add that as well.

Quill

If somebody wants something to answer, try my query to find some easyish questions, also feedback is welcome

Ethan Bierlein

Or that ^^

Quill

@QPaysTaxes I wrote one based on post length

Ethan Bierlein

3:39 AM

@QPaysTaxes You already show it off in your profile.

Duga

Thanks @TonyD, I am usually on top of my undefined behaviours, but I didn't realise this was one. Now I'm paranoid about production code I may have written in the past containing that style, and I will add it to my mental list of red-flags for code reviews. I will remove that bit from my answer. — paddy 57 secs ago

@QPaysTaxes Surround ruby with single quotes.

Quill

same as @EthanBierlein's dilemma : 'ruby'

Bug? No, accidental feature

Ethan Bierlein

Yup. The SEDE is vulnerable to SQL injection.

For example, instead of just typing 'ruby', I could type 'ruby'; SELECT * FROM Posts; --

Quill

Fun things those

Mat's Mug

3:45 AM

@EthanBierlein the SEDE has SQL injection as its ...primary feature...

Ethan Bierlein

wat

Mat's Mug

well, you enter arbitrary SQL in a textbox, and it runs it

Ethan Bierlein

@Mat'sMug Oh, I was talking to myself about something else.

Ethan Bierlein

Facebook arguments about the bible are gold.

Phrancis

Aren't they?

Ethan Bierlein

Yup

Quill

I remember reading a section of A Brief History of Time where Stephen Hawking says that he went to a meeting where the church and the pope asked a bunch of physicists whether a certain scientific belief (big bang theory) went against the Bible's beliefs, and based on that meeting the church could either accept or deject the theory.

Ethan Bierlein

sure

Quill

3:54 AM

@QPaysTaxes First result given by my query ;-)

Ethan Bierlein

Guys, I finished the initial version of my Python preprocesser.

Quill

@QPaysTaxes Fine, an update is in order

Ethan Bierlein

It can read an execute code like this without any errors:

iterator = 10

until iterator == 0:
	print(iterator)
	iterator -= 1


unless iterator != 0:
	print("iterator == 0")

Thanks. It's really small right now, but I plan on making it a lot larger, and better designed.

For now, I'm going to put it up for review.

It'll be up in about 10 minutes, and then I gotta go to bed shortly after.

Doesn't factor have native graphics?

Then here's a (large) challenge: write a simple physics program that only simulates forces.
