Q: JavaScript program to count lines of Java code

I've implemented a small program in JavaScript to count the number of lines of a string of java source code. This was done for one of the Code Kata exercise: http://codekata.com/kata/kata13-counting-code-lines/ Overall, the goal of this exercise is summarised as follow: The mixture of line-...

Q: Fastest way to change the HSV value of all pixels in a bitmap

I want to change all the pixels in an image to have the same value, in terms of the HSV colour space. At the moment I'm running the following code: private Bitmap changeVForAllPixels(Bitmap bitmap, float newV) { int width = bitmap.getWidth(); int height = bitmap.getHeight(); int[] ...

Any Java guru want to answer that?

The O.P. accepted my answer, but I believe it deserves a better insight

Duga

You should have added that in your question instead of posting an answer ... anyway, 1. why don't you use extern funcs just as the other declarations ? 2. IMO I would throw an exception and handle it above in the application instead of showing a message box. 3. you should ask for a code review at codereview.stackexchange.com since it's exactly what this site is for :D — Aybe 39 secs ago

Ismael Miguel

@Vogel612 The question deserves more love, and I'm not the right person to give it.

Vogel612

15:18

I figure anything beyond your answer is already going into Bitmap intrinsics and referring to that as byte[] to not go through the abstraction

Ismael Miguel

But my answer isn't great

It is borderline "reasonable"

Mast

@IsmaelMiguel If you want a question to attract more attention, you could always give it a bounty.

Vogel612

@IsmaelMiguel but it's a good answer

and that's enough for it

Mast

good is the enemy of best

But I see your point.

Ismael Miguel

@Mast No. I promised I'll never do that again. Last time I gave a bounty of 100 and it was completely wasted. So, no, no more bounties from me

In order to learn Prolog, I have implemented the cat command in Prolog. I want to know if the code is idiomatic and what could be improved. main(Argv) :- withFilesOrUserInput(catStream, Argv). catStream(Stream) :- copy_stream_data(Stream, user_output), flush_output(user_output). withFi...

@IsmaelMiguel Why do you always stick your head in the sand after bad situations?

One event doesn't say everything.

Ismael Miguel

So I don't fall from a greater height

That's why

I'm not going to waste another 100

Mast

I recently put a bounty on one of bazola's questions and it attracted very valuable answers.

@IsmaelMiguel Start with 50...

Ismael Miguel

If 100 is wasted, 50 will be as well

Mast

How was it wasted?

Ismael Miguel

15:29

8 days without an answer

The only answers I had were almost 9 months after asking the question

I waited 1 week, activated a bounty and watched it go to waste

Mast

Perhaps the question didn't deserve a better answer?

Ismael Miguel

Then why, as soon as I asked if it was ok to self-answer saying that there was nothing to improve, the answers showed up?

If it didn't deserve before, it wouldn't deserve after

Mast

What question are we talking about anyway?

Q: UIntArray class in PHP (part 2)

Mast

Both answers showed up slightly after each other. That was after the bounty expired?

I wouldn't bounty a follow-up question anyway, but hey...

Ismael Miguel

15:34

Yes, months after

The question was asked on 17th November 2014

Mast

@IsmaelMiguel Yea, I can read. But when was the bounty placed?

Ismael Miguel

Before December

EBrown

This video is hilarious.

Mast

@IsmaelMiguel May have been too soon.

I don't know.

EBrown

There it is.

Mast

EBrown

If you clicked it when it said "Image not found" it worked.

Malachi

I haven't gotten the Github links down yet....lol

Ismael Miguel

@EBrown It worked after refreshing

Malachi

I changed the link, that is why it worked after the refresh

Mast

@IsmaelMiguel May have been coincidence, after the edit it worked here too.

Malachi

15:39

you have to post the Raw link for it to show the picture

Ismael Miguel

@Mast Probably

@Malachi That's how it works.

Otherwise, it won't be valid content

Mast

@Malachi Is the notifier working as expected yet?

Malachi

for the most part.

I only have two major things that I want to change, and I posted them in the issues

Q: Refactoring code for UI error display window with task async in WPF

@IsmaelMiguel It's usually BTW instead of WTB.

Ismael Miguel

@IsmaelMiguel you had to look at the actual tweet

Ismael Miguel

Now I get it

A little...

EBrown

Oh man what am I even doing.

Mat's Mug

EBrown

This is horrible.

@Mat'sMug Using an XNA game to test out my Forms seems like a really bad idea now...lol

Ismael Miguel

Question: If I make an interpreter, a writting style guide and the specification of a language, even if the interpreter is half-way completed, is it on-topic to ask questions on said language?

Mat's Mug

16:10

wouldn't it be a little bit premature?

Ismael Miguel

Depends

Malachi

@EBrown XNA and Forms don't really go together. what pieces were you hoping to use together?

EBrown

@Malachi I built my own XNA Forms.

Ismael Miguel

If the interpreter has enough functionality to run the code

Mat's Mug

@Malachi he's making a ^^^ that

EBrown

16:10

And I need to test it, thoroughly.

And the only way to do so...is to create an XNA game and start dumping forms in it.

Malachi

what did you need from XNA in the forms though? I am a little confused

EBrown

They are forms to be used in XNA games.

Mat's Mug

@EBrown ...or to write a truckload of unit tests?

EBrown

I.e. a literal TextBox control.

@Mat'sMug I'll be having those as well.

But I can't rely specifically on Unit Tests.

I don't think.

Duga

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is asking for a review of existing code and should therefore be asked here: codereview.stackexchange.com — David Heffernan 40 secs ago

Mat's Mug

16:12

@Malachi how many XNA projects need a concept of a "window"?

Malachi

@EBrown oh. I put a textbox into mine to gather the player name. talk about a PITA

EBrown

Yeah, I have the TextBox control designed.

And the main Form controls designed.

Mat's Mug

and you can theme/customize them?

EBrown

You can drag forms around, like normal Windows Forms.

@Mat'sMug Yep.

That part works.

Because I was testing it in a different project.

Zak

@Duga should we come up with a canned response about how working code is not automatically off-topic for SO?

EBrown

16:13

Forms can even be semi-transparent.

Malachi

I think the way I did it, was that I actually created the object, used it and then disposed of it after it passed the information

I will have to look at the code tonight, it is one of those things that I want to "fix"

Mat's Mug

@Zak click the user's profile

EBrown

I wonder if I should build a designer, first?

Mat's Mug

@EBrown YES!

..maybe not first

but yes, a designer would be amazing I think

EBrown

Actually, I need to get this test project around so that I can start getting the more complex controls together.

@Mat'sMug I actually have an issue for it. ;)

Mat's Mug

16:15

nice

EBrown

@Mat'sMug One question about Unit Tests: should I make one Unit Tests project for the entire solution, or one Unit Tests project per implementation project?

Mat's Mug

you need some "scrollviewer" that can scroll the text in a window. I'm thinking of the windows that pop up when you talk to people in Diablo II

EBrown

@Mat'sMug ScrollableControl: github.com/EBrown8534/Framework/blob/master/…

Mat's Mug

I'd just make one, and break it down into decent namespaces

@SimonAndréForsberg except that user knows his shit

he's the GhostBuster icon in the "THANK YOU!" box. 2nd row, 3rd from left

EBrown

Oh man I suck at Unit Tests.

Malachi

I actually wanted to build the textbox into the title screen of my game so that I didn't have to spawn a new window (form) just to gather the information. but I was so new to coding at the time that the way I did it was the easiest way to do it, not the best way though....

@Zak So, your code stops working on many different computers running office and they want you to pay $500 for it to work?

Depends

You can try SuperUser

it stopped working on every computer on my network

And outside it?

in the exact same way

don't know, will have to check when I get home

Then do that

And try a VM

VM?

@Mat'sMug Shameless TS

@Mast Right...

Zak

A problem specific to my computer has a whole diferent set of probable causes to one that affected an enitre corporate network

Mat's Mug

@Zak is it the same workbook accessed by x computers?

Zak

16:46

which is probably why it took me 2 hours before I even realised the full extent of the problem

@Mat'sMug it is every workbook on every computer (most are stored on a central server)
