So @rolfl, do you think one of your kids might be interested in programming some day?
> It would be nice to allow the BIT type for query parameters, and have it render as a Checkbox on the client side.
I tried to convince her to join on parenting ......
@Duga Huh - Didn't know we had a feed for that repo here
@Phrancis Both of them will be... I think. They are looking in to "Javascript for Kids", and both have programmed lego robotics.
There's a few good basics computer programming books about
There was a Humble Bundle with them recently
04:01
I taught Python to my little sister.
The javascript book is nice - pulished this year, and browser based, so good for their various systems they use
Ahhh nice
I cheat with the kids.... their laptops run windows, and are low-spec'd.
the linux computer is a 4 core 16gig accelerated GPU with minecraft ;-)
26-inch monitor.
big speakers.
For all the quirks JavaScript has, I still think it's fun to write
@rolfl woah
04:03
Yeah, the kids love linux.
@Phrancis Fun? What is this fun you speaketh of?
Dynamic typing is all sorts of fun :D
Not when it's done incorrectly.
I see it's now tomorrow for me... gotta work in the morning, night all
Like cough JavaScript cough
04:03
Monknight!
Night @rolfl
Night
We were originally going to use JavaScript to make Cardshifter more moddable/flexible, since JS is pretty versatile, and a lot of people know it
@rolfl yeah, ... I wonder if they'd love linux as much if their windows laptops had over-average specs, and the linux box was a shitty crapbox?
'night!
But Simon found Groovy, and made us a DSL, and we have since abandoned the JS idea
04:06
Why is groovy so good for DSLs?
I've heard all sorts of good things about it for that purpose, but never seen an example, except for cardshifter.
From my understanding, it's been part of the design specs of the language
It has things called closures which I think have a lot to do with it

Q: jQuery - Forms - Checkbox - Check All controller

Paul SchudarIn all honesty, i'm a hobbyist at best when it comes to web development. I've been doing PHP for quite some time but when it comes down to jQuery, I'm an all out newbie! Thanks to the many questions asked on this topic before, I've got a working script. Problem: Wanting to check all checkboxes w...

@CaptainObvious Haven't we seen this before?
Removed the duplicate text too
Yet the only thing that wasn't duplicated was the code.
Very strange
Sorry about that - Really good question. Deleting! — Paul Schudar 1 min ago
Obsolete, I'm outta flags
04:13
    CardDelegate.metaClass.afterPlay << {Closure closure ->
        def eff = new net.zomis.cardshifter.ecs.effects.Effects();
        EffectDelegate effect = new EffectDelegate()
        closure.delegate = effect
        closure.setResolveStrategy(Closure.DELEGATE_FIRST)
        closure.call()
        GameEffect eventConsumer = {Entity ent, ActionPerformEvent event ->
            effect.perform(ent, event)
        } as GameEffect
        addEffect(entity(), new EffectComponent(effect.description.toString(), eventConsumer))
What. No. Don't delete. Must answer. No. No
@EthanBierlein The duplicate text, not the post
@EthanBierlein See above - This defines the afterPlay effect trigger that we use for card effects, for example
Hmm. Cool.
(don't ask me to explain it, 'cause I can't lol)
Gradle is a great example of a program written in Groovy, with its own DSL. So you use a Groovy program to compile your own Groovy
04:17
looking @ the rep league i guess i'll be trading places with @Phrancis unless one of us pulls up to 7.2k ahead :D
Pretty meta, huh!

Q: C++ template "potential failure to compile"

WheeldogI've created a short piece of code to determine whether or not various 2D shapes (circles/lines/rectangles) intersect. It's a job interview question, but given my inability to explain what's wrong with it, I suspect I'm not in the running anymore. As such, I only want a solution to ease my mind, ...

@h.j.k. Hey :D
Must work on PN parser. Must stop getting distracted.

> One does not simply... leave a chat room...
04:24
Wow. It actually got quiet.
Wait... so, the program actually compiles and runs fine as far as you know, but somehow you get a warning about a "potential failure to compile"?? — Phrancis 29 secs ago
Wow. I've already gotten 120 reputation today, and I haven't even answered any questions...
@EthanBierlein Did you ask one?
@Jamal see the edit to that question - IMO I don't think it's off-topic, at least not strictly
04:28
isn't it a "where's my bug?" case?
and seriously , how the heck do you refuse to compile something half the time??
Maybe, maybe not... it seems to be more of a "someone else said there's a bug, but AFAIK it works fine..."
Because it's
I would think it would be all or nothing, not 50%
Not like the computer is going to assemble the same source code into something different each time... right?
Maybe it does...
SO may still not want it since it sounds like a "spot the bug" at this point.
04:32
@Jamal The thing is, "I've been told by the interviewer that this section [...] will cause the program to "fail to compile half the time". I've run it various ways through multiple compilers, and I have yet to experience any failures to compile."
If this question could be reworded to sound less like a "find-the-bug" question and more like a code review request, I'd definitely vote to reopen. — Mat's Mug 6 secs ago

Q: Project Euler Problem 5

Motoko KusanagiI wrote up a small script to calculate the answer to Project Euler peoblem number five. I am curious if this algorithm can be improved or made more efficient: def divisible_by(num, den_set): if not den_set: return True elif not num % den_set.pop(): return divisible_by(num, den_se...

@MotokoKusanagi About 5'8" and you? ;)
Hey @Heslacher :)
about 6' 1'' lol
hey @Phrancis
@MotokoKusanagi Hoping that the warmth get out of my office ( 31.7 C )
oh wow
we usally get triple digits in Fahrenheit around here

so it stays somewhere around 40 degrees centigrade
Come on Gradle, please please please compile!
i've been living here for almost ten years and i am still becoming acclimated to this desert here
@Phrancis what are you building?
Cardshifter
> BUILD SUCCESSFUL
04:45
WHEEEEE
I just modified some of the cards and stuff today and been antsy to try them!
idk what that is
google isn't helping
Open-source trading card game some of us have been working on for close to a year now
hehe that's snazzy
are you building for the repository, or for personal use?
it's one of the two big OSS projects that were born on this site
the other one is <~ click me
04:48
*stars project
anyone wants to chime in on that one?
Can you please comment on some of the thing's I've explicitly asked to be reviewed? I'd like some feedback on those items before awarding the bounty. — rookie 4 hours ago
you're the second highest contributor :P
Is cardshifter.com supposed to redirect to stats.zomis.net/io-web?
@EthanBierlein That's Simon's site
Yeah. I know

my jaw hurts after chewing all this nicotine gum... at least i'm quitting smoking

keep it up!
yeah i will because i don't want to die like that
kind of a lame way to die
@MotokoKusanagi lol I meant to point to the tag wiki codereview.stackexchange.com/tags/rubberduck/info
@Mat'sMug aha!
@Phrancis Quick reminder that registering a domain publicly releases your details
You know that, right?
04:52
@Quill What details specifically?
I like how I was told just a couple of months ago, that implementing a rename refactoring à la Visual Studio was't possible
well, I did it
I have at least 1-2 other domains in my name already, so meh

@Quill like this? rubberduck-vba.com
what info can you get from just that url?
@Quill Oh, well.
04:54
who.is ~ domain
@Mat'sMug You paid for info block, right?
If someone is bored enough to call me from looking up my domain name, I'll talk to them sure!
Wow, we get primaries for moderator election. 12 candidates !
@MotokoKusanagi Did you see above screenshot?
Well it was harder to read @SimonAndréForsberg's info than @Phrancis
04:56
@Quill ah so that's what private registration stands for!
@Mat'sMug I just put in fake details when I got a domain
@Phrancis yeah but it's kind of greek to me
@Phrancis sweet screen resolution, tho
Understandable
unless everything is scaled down, then you must be using a laptop

@MotokoKusanagi This is what a game looks like while being played^
Night @Mat'sMug
@Phrancis did anyone tell Simon not to use Cyan in UI's?
05:01
Simon really doesn't like making UIs lol
@Phrancis Who does ?
Actually, I forgot to change that one when I re-colored everything else
I have some jobs for you @Mat'sMug ;-)
@Phrancis that looks quite fascinating
05:02
^^ that
It's pretty fun to play, although it's kind of rough looking right now
how easy is it to build? i may take the dive and try it
@MotokoKusanagi We actually have a release you can play, let me dig the link out
i've never used gradle outside of android
if i were to use it i would want to contribute...
Just get the Zip. Then start the server file via terminal. Then start the FX file (disregard the console one, it's for debugging)
Oh, I forgot I even wrote that documentation, thanks @Quill ;)
hmm security manager warning. never seen that before
05:07
It's safe, just hit Y
Simon did that also for debugging I think
@MotokoKusanagi If you like the game, we'd love contributors. Any question about the game, ping me in this chat room: chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/16134/tcg-creation
Oh, but RD is more useful ;)
that's how it's supposed to look, right?
05:09
Actually, we just have a bit of friendly competition, no?
@MotokoKusanagi Yes, if you choose the Mythos mod
ok cool. i'll need to read the "how to play" link above
@Phrancis I'm about 5'8 too - now I don't have to feel like I'm a shrimp.
Cyborg-Chronicles and Mythos have different cards and different rules. And we will add more in the future.
it'll be best if i play the game plenty before i start hacking at it
05:10
Night, guys, see you later.
Later
@MotokoKusanagi Come in here
Aaaahgg. Parsers are so difficult.
Night @Hosch250
Since your title specifies file reading it seemed like that was what you were interested in. Do your strings cross the boundaries of the blocks you are reading? You might be able to speed up the searching with multiple threads, but you might also be able to speed up the algorithm you're using to search. Hard to say really without knowing how your code works. You might consider asking on Code Review if you're willing to post your working code. — Retired Ninja 54 secs ago
05:26
Hmm.... It's a little quiet....
I my god. I just got how PN works.
Except I don't know how to parse it with parentheses.
Bah.
Hmm. A little idle in here.
05:34
Hmm. My TV just lost signal.
Bah.
Oh. Now the signal's back.
Yay.

Hullo @Gemtastic
What's reviewin' today?
Not much, right now.
06:11
If you're looking for a best practice and your code is working as is, maybe you should consider posting a question at CodeReview? — Gemtastic 25 secs ago
I'm trying to build a (Reverse) Polish Notation Compiler/Parser
Interesting
This question could be suitable for Code Review, as long as (a) your code works as intended, (b) your code is real code, rather than example code, and (c) your code is included in the body of the question. If you wish for a peer review to improve all aspects of your code, please post it on Code Review and delete your question here on Stack Overflow. — Phrancis 53 secs ago

WHEEEEEEEE MOD ELECTIONS
Yes! Exciting no?
cough I mean, I am quite anxious and excited for the moderator elections to start.
Indeed! I can't wait for CR to be completely out of beta!
Wow, 12 candidates, I'm gonna be the one guy who didn't make it, awesome!
06:16
@Quill there is one thing sure, I'll never be mod ^^
@Quill I feel ya. I hope people read my goals and at least consider voting for me.
Rather than just saying, "meh, low rep, low candidate score, bad candidate, no vote."
^^ Indeed, don't forget the age thing too
TBH guys, this is (to me) less about who wins, and more about, who do we as community feel can best bear the burden (which it is) of being moderator
That is why I'll never be mod :)

No, do not delete the question here! Deleting too many questions as a new user will get you in trouble and count towards a site ban. The question is on-topic for SO. Just keep the code review site in mind next time you have a similar question. — Lundin 55 secs ago

At least, that's my opinion

@KierenPearson Code Review
Who is CaptainObvious?
A feed, that posts automatically some new questions
and @Mast isnt that what the whole side is about
You write a question, it shows here
ohhh ok
Ive got a question with no answers currently, it must be way back in the chat
08:57
This is the main chat for the site.
You can always post the question here
Just don't beg for answers
I can understand you must get alot of that and how it can be anoying
here is the link to my question codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/95932/….
If you dont feel like you want to answer (dont feel obliged) could you tell me how I could make the question better?
Like if its to much code? needs more description @Is
@IsmaelMiguel
I don't program in c++
@KierenPearson for one you got 3 blocks of code. the last one simply is huge
additionally the problem you solve is not trivial
Next time, paste the question link on it's own, without any text.
09:01
I was told to add description of what I was trying to achieve
Also 5 hours is actually not that much for a question of that size.
and you did well
oh sorry i misunderstood
yea ok sorry
btw. the orthography in the description is rather mediocre..
I did the best I could
should i go in depth into what each function is doing?
no no. sit back and drink a cup of tea for now.

again 5 hours isn't all that much for a question that size and complexity
09:03
;)
@KierenPearson You should add a link to Wikipedia, describing what is the Barnes-Hut algorithm
Also, you don't mention what kind of review you want and if you want a review in the whole code or just a portion.
It is important to keep your methods small and they should only do one single task. I am not sure why you used the constructor as you did, but IMHO you should not do buisness logic in a constructor. If you want to initialize your object at construction you may think about using factory methods. The book "effective java" may give you good hints on this part . The guys on codeReview may help you with refactoring your code. — Rhayene 17 secs ago
Which constructor are you talking about?
This one?
Node::Node(unsigned int pDepth)
{
HasChildren = false;
Depth = pDepth;

@KierenPearson I'm currently editing your question. It has a few mistaked on it. Usually it isn't a good idea to say "here's my code". Can you help me re-writting the sentence "Here is my code for a n-body simulator I have made[...]"?
yea im sure it does
be my guest to edit it
I gtg, i might be on later
How can I re-write that sentence?
gonna watch game of thrones

Oh, alright.
yea ill re write it
I came up with "I've written an n-body simulator[...]"

do you want me to edit it or are you doing it?
