Q: No idea whats wrong?

CryptoI'm completely new to Python and tried to write a program where the user and computer have a little battle about who can guess each others number most effectively. I know this uses the Binary search algorithm which i tried to implement to the best of my knowledge but it just doesn't work. Anythin...

Q: multiple many-to-many filter with range using filteriffic

Jon HeckmanI was told that code review would be a better place than standard stack overflow for this question. To start out. I should say that the code I have works. I feel like there has to be a much more efficient way to do it (especially when I just crashed my server with it). First the code I have: R...

I'm almost ready to PR on Roslyn.
Only issue? I wrote the patch in releases/VS2015, and it needs to be in Master.
I can't just merge either...
 
What's the stuff you added?
 
A bug fix.

Q: Improving code quality of angular directive with coffee

user98293989823i'm trying to improve my angular directive, i'm pretty new in coffee, so i think maybe there is inconsistent code Code: 'use strict' class Main extends Directive constructor: (VerifyService) -> return { restrict : 'M' link : (scope) -> scope.watch 'events', -> ...

 
@CaptainObvious Coffee is always good for improving code quality. Would it work for titles, too?

The C# code in Roslyn is just as bad as the VB code.
for loops where foreach would be better.
Unused methods/parameters everywhere.
Hey guys, I have a meme proposal, started by our very own Duga.

Suppose we have a meme "answer invalidated by Jamal"?
Related to Jamalizing.
 
1:22 AM
sure
 
Well, I need more feedback than just one person :P
 
@Hosch250 probably performance-optimized
 
Nope.
I thought that at first, too.
 
Wouldn't a foreach loop be optimized by the compiler anyways?
 
But this file is soley for generating code at re-build time.
@EthanBierlein No.

A: How to Drop Table with Non-Printable Character on its name

Aaron BertrandSince you already know which character is hidden, you can easily construct the current name using a variable, pass that into sp_rename, and then drop the table using the newly acquired name: DECLARE @t NVARCHAR(128) = N'dbo.Table' + NCHAR(31) + N'_Name'; EXEC sys.sp_rename @t, N'NewTableName', N...

 
@Mat'sMug What do you think about the new meme proposal?
Or BTW.Edited, anyway.
 
See, in here is a real story:
> On Friday, embattled HP was hit with a new lawsuit filed by the state of Michigan over a 10-year-old, $49 million project that called for HP to replace a legacy mainframe-based system built in the 1960s. Through the suit filed in Kent County Circuit Court, the state seeks $11 million in damages along with attorney's fees and the funds needed to rebid and re-procure the contract.
The question you have to ask yourself, when reading headlines like that, is:

Q: Using std::chrono to make custom "SI unit" types

user85057std::chrono::duration is a great example of how to create "units" using std::ratio. std::ratio by itself is not very useful for a "units" library, and the two choices are either something like Boost.Unit (which can be very complicated to use) or to write it yourself (why reinvent the wheel?) Ther...

 
Think about that, when the US was putting their first astronauts on the moon, the state of michigan christened a new system..... which is still "bloody impossible" to replace.
 
@Mat'sMug Reminds me of that one other post where the user's last name was literally "Null"
Also reminds me that I hope TSQL silently converts 'NULL' to NULL
 
@Phrancis I would hope that wasn't the case
unexpected type conversion is always, sketchy
like, dark alleyway at night sketchy

Seen a record today with this value ' - - ' (literally)
 
Supposed to be a SSN
Other more experienced guy said the failure happens because the SSN is missing. But it's not missing.
It's there, just with empty spaces
 
If the item doesn't have a value, it should be NULL, not, blah...
 
^^that
 
That would be the excepted behavior
all these fools we talk bout' need to have a talk with sum' CRitters
 
1:56 AM
Everything works as excepted
 
Sure, it works, but is it ideal? I think not
 
Putting empty spaces instead of values is never ideal

@Mat'sMug How old is the movie?
Ah, it came out 6 years before I was even born
but please explain this programming language that should never exist
 
It doesn't exist, there's nothing to explain. Except it would he even worse than Arnie-C

oh, raging are we?
 
@rolfl or notepad
 
or IRC
(which is multiplayer notepad, incidentally)
 
Been lurking all along have ya? ;-)
 
Yeah, just because Java can run pretty much anything... does not make that thing "java"
 
2:28 AM
^^^ Improvement
 
@rolfl Could it at least make it JAVA?
 
All caps, so appealing to say yes, but no.
 
Well, Java now runs Javascript, which blurs the lines....
 
wait...

Huh
They finally put a carpet in that car?!

oh man
 
I totally have that MK theme song playing right now
 
^^right, KTHX
 
that reminds me of a joke about antivirus software
a bad joke
Actually, I think it's an XKCD strip
 
@Mat'sMug To reduce confusion, Java calls Javascript-in-Java "Nashorn", or "Rhino" - because Rhino was first, and calling it Rhino in German makes it different

@Phrancis they called it coffeescript, no?
 
2:33 AM
But then Java also runs on everything
Java is so meta.

look ma! there's a little gradient in the selection box! :)
makes me happy
 
@Mat'sMug hey nice!
 
shiny
<Style x:Key="ShinyTreeView"
 
So XAML is good at making gradient selection boxes? :)
 
XAML is good at a lot of things, many of which I'm sure @Mat'sMug can explain
 
well.. yeah.
XAML is good at removing the need to code. Lazy coders like XAML.

OK, I need to step away and wrestle a TV (not flatscreen) into this place, so back soon (maybe)
 
haha! reminds me of one of my friends' kids. they grew up with a "slap-to-turn-on" TV. you had to watch them turn on a 60-inch flatscreen...
(not my flatscreen, luckily)

slap? slam? whack? hit? tomato-tomahto

You wretch.

What were you doing in that branch?!
 
huh? my [next] branch?

That thing is cursed.
 
well it wouldn't be much of a problem if I lost everything... but since only some types are missing, now my fork won't build.
 
Found it.
 
heck, I'll just copy the code from GitHub
 
That's what I meant.
Pretty interesting having one conversation in two chatrooms.

Is that dependency injection right there @Mat'sMug that some work my friend
Are you using a dependency pattern
 
well it's the RubberduckMenu class, which is now obsolete
 
I meant good
beyond good
 
            //_kernel.Bind<ICommand>().To<NavigateCommand>().InSingletonScope();
            _kernel.Bind<IDeclarationNavigator>().To<NavigateAllImplementations>().WhenTargetHas<FindImplementationsAttribute>().InSingletonScope();
            _kernel.Bind<IDeclarationNavigator>().To<NavigateAllReferences>().WhenTargetHas<FindReferencesAttribute>().InSingletonScope();

            var types = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetTypes()
                .Where(type => type.Namespace != null && type.Namespace.StartsWith(typeof(CommandBase).Namespace ?? string.Empty))
it's basically replaced by these IoC bindings :)
 
Is that what good code looks like
 
3:40 AM
not sure. but it makes the rest of the code looking pretty damn good :)
 
I mean design pattern wise
I know the Decorator Pattern and Command pattern kind of atm
 
there's not really a design pattern in that code. it's just naming conventions driving IoC container bindings
 
Trying to make this happen below
interface IApplicationWidget
{
void MakeWidget();
void AddWidget();
void RemoveWidget();
}
 
too much Widget imo
seems redundant
interface IApplicationWidget
{
    void Make();
    void Add();
    void Remove();
}
 
trying make a calendar map that gives out different widgets and every time the page loads it creates new widgets maybe the decorator
can two interfaces be implemented from a same class
 
3:44 AM
yes!
that's the major advantage of interfaces over abstract classes: you can implement as many interfaces as you want, but you can only ever derive from a single base class
 
Is that some type of abstraction class
*sort of
Like a decorator class ??
 
eh, too many buzzwords
 
That's the one I'm learning right now
The decorator pattern
 
I guess you've seen this:

A: Decorator for cars

Mat's MugComposition vs. Inheritance, interface vs. abstract class You are mixing up concepts here - there's too much inheritance going on, and this pattern is completely about composition. I'm sure you've seen this before: Favor composition over inheritance. You have an abstract base class with ei...

 
Merry Xmas
 
3:47 AM
wait, that was you question!
lol
 
Yes i supposed I haven't fully quite got it yet to in extent :)
 
I've actually exhausted the subject in that answer. I don't know what else I could say about the decorator pattern..
 
oh haha
its okay
 
the thing about design patterns, is that they're a trap: you don't implement a design pattern - you implement your functionality, refactor, clean up, and the design pattern emerges
they're just communication tools; names we put on common ways to solve programming problems
 
oh
 
3:57 AM
you've probably used a factory method before, without even knowing it
 
no
 
..or not ;-)
 
probly///
mayb
e
 
public Foo CreateFoo(Bar bar)
{
    return new Foo(bar, _baz);
}
simple as that
not very useful though, IMO
abstract factory is a better tool
public interface IFooFactory
{
    IFoo Create();
}
with an IoC container like Ninject, you don't even need to actually implement it
 
In this case, I guess that it will be ok if I open a new question on Code review section in order to someone have a good look on my received code; being a noob, even if I didn't receive any error in the browser console, the code could be alterated as you explained. Thank you, — typo_78 1 min ago
