also flagging me for telling you the rules is not how this works
 
sorry guys I dont know
 
@Vogel612 you could have had a bit more.. tact
@jvchn its okay
Sometimes Vogel just needs a snickers
You may find better luck in other chat rooms like the stackoverflow chat rooms or by asking on S/O itself
 
@ARedHerring I'm actually good right now. and I didn't kick him, you know?
I had awesome lunch :D
 
@Vogel612 No, you didnt, but "I am very tempted to kick you" is still quite rude. No one had told him about it not being an appropriate place.
 
Wonder if I can omit some elements from this XML.
 
3:02 PM
hm. Wonder what made them think this was an appropriate place...
but yea you got a point
 
@jvchn This chat room is mainly for discussing 2nd monitor or idle chat if nothing is going on.. sometimes we answer questions but those almost always offshoot into other chat rooms.
@Vogel612 Well, StackOverflow being very judicious about forwarding people here for one..
@jvchn please see this meta post for information about what goes on in the 2nd monitor. :-)

Q: Silex - Guzzle call to external API

Joshua DalleyI'm at the point where I am happy with the functionality of my code but I dislike how its written. It seems like I can be more modular with it but I can't seem to figure out how to improve on it without changing to much.

Sometimes I wonder if it's jsut me and I'm the problem with VS.
No, neither does SublimeText.
 
That's the problem with using proprietary stuff: not enough people interested to make good open source alternatives.
 
actually there's an OSS alternative to VS..
but... it's still really really buggy
in VBA Rubberducking, 9 mins ago, by Mat's Mug
Complains when it shouldn't, and lets go of actual compiler errors... man you've convinced me to never even try Mono! :-)
it made me break the Rubberduck build
 
@Vogel612 the reason we're using VS is because of TFS
and because half of the front-end code (TypeScript) that is written relies on a quirk of VS to actually compile
 
Thats... complicated. Really, really complicated matter.
 
no. it's dumb and retarded by project management
but alas
 
3:19 PM
@Vogel612 "dumb and retarded" is the mantra of our internal systems, unfortunately.
I had to butt heads with someone who wanted to access my project's DB directly instead of use the well-defined web API we have written
And when I pointed out the architectural issues within the projectI 'm working on and provided solutions on how to fix them, I was accused of throwing my toys of out of the pram and making a fuss out of nothing
They asked me to run my email by my colleague so he could ratify it... the architectural problems were about how the front-end Angular code is handled. My title is "AngularJS developer". My colleague's title is C# developer.
I mean.. it's almost like they hired someone to do AngularJS but doesn't want to listen to his opinion on AngularJS development. Shrug

how many times does google get used on a business day for developerrrrrr

Someone must be using bing
 
3:52 PM
@ARedHerring currently duga only checks for the substring ...
IIRC trivially quirky markdown falls through the gaps
 
I get why it might not be checked, but I was wondering whether or not that was intended behaviour and if not what do
 
My dad said using google for my projects isn't going to get me now where in life
 
@june1992 depends a little...
btw. your age is not relevant and your username is a tell.
 
well I"m 23 I was just trying not to sound like a dweeb
but can someone explain
 
@JacobRaihle I mix it up with Bing sometimes, Google's results are predictable.
 
3:55 PM
There's nothing really much to explain
Yes, programmers use google daily
 
I actually started using duckduckgo.
 
Or QuackQuackGoose.
Unless your dad is a software engineer he is not qualified to tell you what to do or what not to do
My mum spent 6 years in my teenage years berating me for spending too much time on the computer when I was learning programming. In my first job, she asked me for money because I earned more than she did
 
and even then he isn't necessarily qualified anyways
 
So, yeah, your dad probably doesn't have a clue about what to suggest
If you want to learn programming go out and do it.. don't expect strangers on a chat room to hold your hand because your dad said something
(with all due respect)
 
Use google (or whatever alternative you fancy), but if there's time you should practice getting by without it. You are going to run into circumstances when it can't help.
 
3:58 PM
@JacobRaihle And you will come across managers who think using Stackoverflow/Google is a waste of 'valuable employee time' and that you should just know how to do your job without it.
(In fact there was a question on workplace about this ~1 year ago)
 
@ARedHerring when I find someone like that, I'll resign if I can't get somebody higher up to set them straight
 
@Vogel612 If I resigned every time I had an incompetent manager I would never be able to find a job, seriously
In this country there are very few software houses
You have a choice of working under someone who has no idea how tech works or not eating
 
i don't plagiarize
 
BTW.Home (boy was thsi a sucky day)
 
@ARedHerring I am glad I live in Germany...
 
4:03 PM
@june1992 If you understand what your code means and does, don't worry about using Google. Everyone does it. You're in trouble when you start pasting blocks of code that you then can't understand or you can't write anything without looking it up first.
 
@june1992 Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that... just that (despite what people say) some problems are specific enough, or novel enough, that no one has actually had to solve them before. And that's when you may have to leave your otherwise invaluable search-fu behind and go read some documentation/source code/logs/debug output.
 
@ARedHerring So that rivets thing dropped page load time a lot, and I found the other thing that was really slowing it down as well.
 
I understand
I was just wondering
 
Theoretically I could go by without googling with my Java knowledge, but I usually google for the Java documentation :P
If you know what you are doing then you don't need google, but you want to build up your knowledge first
 
I got emailed by a recruiter about my GitHub
Called them. Said I'd send them a cv tomorrow
Got emailed from same recruiter about my stack overflow
.... Same email. Just swapped GitHub for stack overflow.

Reply to both with the exact same CV, maybe you'll get 2 interviews.
 
Try to get them at the same time so you don't have to travel twice

From what I've heard, they probably just want to contact a bunch of people cause they know a lot say no.

Monking!
 
hi!
 
Monking
 
@ARedHerring It's "cute" that you think there's a real person with that rectruiter's name. My suspicion is that the computer has a name, and that different humans pretend to be that name when someon real calls. When a telemarketer calls you, and say: "Hi, my name is Bonnie".... what do you think the odds are that their name really is Bonnie?
 
@rolfl Where I live it's common thing for telemarketers to give their real names. I don't know why they wouldn't?
 
Anyone has a github.io site and 5 minutes? Hop into the VBA Rubberducking chat room :-)
 
4:49 PM
Did you hear about the telemarketer that's part robot?
 
@rolfl I have no reason to suspect that telemarketers are lying about their names. All recruiters I've been in contact with have existed in real life and seem to have legit linkedin profiles etc... why would you suspect anything else?
 
@JacobRaihle Because I have, in the past, worked with recruiters who did, and was friends with telemarketers who did, too.
it is especially common in call centers too... where the operator has a non-English name.
 
There's a telemarketing company that had their operators using a soundboard instead of actually talking, so they could just choose particular voiceclips to speak for them and the operator never actual said a word.
 
Hi, My name is "James", and really, you can tell from the accent there is no ways.....
 
@rolfl Ooohhhh yeah. Your right on that one
@SuperBiasedMan Seems pretty crazy!
 
4:53 PM
We once had someone apply with a pseudonym but otherwise I've never encountered it. Most telemarketers seem to be open about their foreign names in my experience, but I guess that would vary greatly depending on country.
 
@TopinFrassi Yeah! There was a recorded call where they kept trying to ask "Could you please say 'I am not a robot'?"
 
But literally all the operator could do was dance around it, play "...what?", "There is a real person here" and a laughing clip.
 
monking
@EBrown it shouldn't drop it by 'a lot' - its a small library
 
@ARedHerring There used to be a witless recruiter lurking on the London LUG mailing list. At one point, somebody raised a question about CVS... and he popped up with "I know all about CVs! I can help you write your CV!"

@itsbruce LOL
Funny enough, this position was in London
Maybe its the same guy
 
After that, we all just took to referring to recruiters as pimps. He stopped lurking.

5:56 PM
I've been meaning to ask this for a while. Yesterday, I profiled using a dictionary's TryGetValue(key, out val) method compared to using a switch statement, and the switch was slightly faster.
Like, on the order of 4 ticks per call, sometimes more, some times less, the first call is much more expensive.
 
honestly, that's probably going to be the case in most situations
 
This isn't milliseconds, just the clock ticks, or whatever in C#'s Stopwatch class. Milliseconds were the same.
 
the trade-off is that use of a dictionary can sometimes (often?) be much easier to read than a switch statement
 
I know.
I use dictionaries regularly, but at what point would it be important to consider switching?
 
brute performance optimization against hardcoded values
 
5:58 PM
if you only have a few cases, it's probably just as easy to read with a switch
 
Like, in a time-critical system, where lives are at stake?
 
not so helpful when you actually have a dynamic dictionary
 
Suppose I have 20-30 values?
Fixed.
 
@Hosch250 yea, but usually you get more out of other places
 
Well, I know.
 
6:00 PM
depending on usage, switching the list implementation you use can get you hours in long-running processes
 
if you had a time-critical system, I would expect you to have acceptance criteria for performance, and you'd have to profile one way vs the other to see if it was necessary/useful to go with a switch over a dictionary
 
True, but at less than a millisecond per call, that time gain could be over days/years.
 
correct. but sometimes that's not what matters, but the time until you respond.
 
I mean, the time difference was really only noticeable for the first call - in ticks. Even the first call was well under a millisecond.

wow that flag was handled quickly

also for whatever reason I just got logged out..
 
@Hosch250 it's really unfortuante that any solution they come up with has to be bolted-on :(
 
C# builds on a broken foundation, everything mutable.
The libraries are even worse I guess.
 
6:44 PM
@JohanLarsson That's... not broken. It's just a different way of looking at things.
 
Add default null then.
Illegal state default instead of unrepresentable.
 
null is evil and I wish it would go away :|
 
Personally, I'd rather work with a language where things are mutable, rather than immutable. It's just a little easier.
 
Sure but be explicit about it
 
While it is easier to work with, I do agree that immutability is pretty awesome.
 
6:48 PM
amusingly, F# has different syntax categories for mutable variables - I changed the color settings so all mutable variables are colored red :)
 
nice
I do like it that F# has that feature

Thanks for the link, @SimonForsberg. I've read that now, but it hasn't really changed my viewpoint. "Insufficient context" is a subjective call.

Maybe it can be improved into a better Codereview question, but it's still a Codereview question. Better for it to get downvoted and criticized in the appropriate community that over on StackOverflow, where it's been unhelpfully closed as a "Duplicate".
 
except, migration rule #1: don't migrate crap ;-)
at the end of the day, the best thing that could happened, happened: OP reposted on the appropriate site, and complied with CR's rulebook.
as far as SO is concerned, I think OP should just delete it
 
I understand that spirit of it, but crap is always going to be subjective. At worst I would call the original question "Should be improved", and the community that can actually help improve it is this one.
 
of course; I was just referring to migration guidelines. in this case "crap" stands for "would most probably get downvoted and closed on target site if posted as-is", not "unsalvageable broken code" ;-)

Q: Find sum of K largest elements in an array

antonis_wrxThis is my code: public class Solution { public int getKthSum(int[] a, int k) { int kthIdx = getKthLargestIndex(a, k); int sum = 0; for (int i = 0; i <= kthIdx; i ++) { sum += a[i]; } return sum; } private int getKthLargestIndex(...

This isn't CodeReview.StackExchange, but do yourself (and us) a favor and use variable names that mean something. x,k,c,j,o? — Gray 34 secs ago

A: Dynamic building of URLs

jwilnerBy in large, I think this approach makes sense and has a fine grasp of Python idiom. Nonetheless, if I'm going to go straight CR on this (maybe this should be at http://codereview.stackexchange.com/), I think there is a short list of things that're a little funky. Local variables don't need to ...

 
@Gray This is incomplete/broken code. It would be closed as off-topic on Code Review. — Ethan Bierlein 23 secs ago
@EthanBierlein I wasn't suggesting to put it on CodeReview, I was just throwing a disclaimer that I know that's not what they were asking about - I just thought I'd give some free advice (or complaining - depending how you take it, ha!) — Gray 18 secs ago
 
@Duga hey, let's rename this site "Code Complaints"
 
Very nice, @rolfl, but it looks like the poster will be excited to know if his implementation is "more efficient" than sorting the entire collection first.
 
@EthanBierlein are we a little trigger-happy?

yeah, and.. ?
 
"This isn't CodeReview.StackExchange, but do yourself (and us) a favor and use variable names that mean something. x,k,c,j,o?" is in no way shape or form suggesting OP to repost/migrate on/to CR ;-)

What are you asking? If you want code review go here. If you're asking how to solve a specific problem (you haven't) you're trying to complete, please make it clearer. — yuvi 5 secs ago
 
@Duga memory error. could be on-topic here. "works for small data sets but blows up with a memory error with the real multi-million records deal"
 
Maybe more suited for CodeReview? — Zsw 41 secs ago

is LinkedIn in a good way to find a job just in theory
 
Don't know. I just started, and rolfl started not long ago.
I haven't got a job, and rolfl already had one.
(But, I'm not looking, yet.)
 
rolfl ?

He works at IBM.
 
It can't hurt, @june1992. Personally I've been contacted by some recruiters via my LinkedIn profile. Mostly recruitment agencies, actually, but that's better than nothing.
 
oh its a screen name aha my mistake
 
If I was on a job hunt in the tech industry, I would definitely look up local recruitment agencies. They're free, and if you don't have connections, you may as well use them in addition to hunting on your own.
 
where would local recruitment agencies be aat
just in theory
 
just Google "<your city> recruitment or employment agencies" and something may come up, depending on <your city>

Ah, I see the reference now. I thought it was one of those moments where you type/say something that you are thinking about, even though it's not part of the sentence.
