I think you are overthinking it. Or maybe this is just not the right problem for TDD? This seems to be a typical interview / Project Euler (kind of) question. Something that doesn't require more testing than running it several times in console. Why do I say this?--Tests are typically needed whe...

My colleague marked this incident as "triaged" the other day and didn't even look at it. -_-

Is it inappropriate to have a second lunch delivered to work?

Phrancis

You may as well call it dinner

EBrown

Ah damnit, didn't look at the time. They would never be able to get in the building, that door is alarmed. :(

I hate working late on Fridays.

I should go use our Gym...

Phrancis

Good grief, he billed 10 minutes of time of "triaging" as a technician when he didn't even look up to confirm the patient actually existed. -___-

@Phrancis Billing on such small tasks is a waste of effort anyway.

Oh wait, now I see the problem. Agency has multiple databases, but our system was showing the wrong one ;(

Q: Round To Specified int

Accepting values from a user that need to show up in intervals of some number. In this case, we will say intervals of 5. Is there a better way to do this? public static int RoundTo(this int value, int roundTo) { var midPoint = roundTo / 2.0; var remainder = value % roundTo; var resu...

Hey, does anyone here use NuGet?

EBrown

Yeah, what's up?

Ethan Bierlein

Would you recommend using the VS extension, or the plain command line?

EBrown

I like the VS extension, so I'd lean towards it.

@EthanBierlein I think I heard @JeroenVannevel about it

Ethan Bierlein

Does the console do everything that the extension can?

I'd prefer the console, simply because it's more lightweight, but if you can give me good reasons to use the extension, I'd probably go there.

Q: Delete empty tables

I'm coding an game addon, and its settings are saved in a table with a format like this: { ["track"] = "Dark Evangelism", ["duration"] = { }, ["stack"] = { ["minimum"] = { ["enabled"] = 1, ["value"] = 5, ...

Q: Swift example of timer dependent object. Problem is it's not testable

Here's a class that manages state by using a timer to buffer the state change. The use case is a mobile device ranging iBeacons. iBeacon proximity states, which are an enum consisting of values like "Near and Far", flip back and forth at their boundaries. So, I want to change the object's proximi...

The extension helps you with looking at what needs updating though

I swear, I've gone through 2 parsing libraries already. ANTLR4 and C# had better be nice and work for me otherwise I'm just going to stop trying.

Well, the reason I was asking about the NuGet extension is because of the awful ratings on the VS2015 version here: visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/…

Q: How can I DRY up these operator definitions?

I'm writing some code that helps me deal with units better, by having a user defined type for things like Metres, Centimetres and Millimetres. Here is the class declaration for Metres: template <typename StorageType> class Metres : public Unit<StorageType> { public: static Metres fromMetres ...

A non-java answer (for me, that's quite impressive):

A: Compile-Time Wildcard Pattern Matching

I am not most experienced with C++ (java's my best language) but as far as I know, method names are supposed to be camelCase. MatchPattern_Rec should be matchPatternRec. Also, why are you returning a 1 or a 0? Shouldn't you be returning a bool? (Again, correct me if I'm wrong) The chain of ter...

Please note me of any mistakes.

Ethan Bierlein

FYI, C++ doesn't really have an accepted naming style

Or an accepted style in general, really

Mast

@EthanBierlein Many consider the style the STL is written in the standard, lacking anything better.

Q: Checking DnD Traits in an enum

Overall, I'm working on a simulator for a modified DnD 3.5 system. Right now, I'm trying to write an enum class that handles the Classes/Professions, and am currently trying to handle the profession modifiers for saving throws. My issue is everything is extremely boiler-plate, and I can't figure ...

A: String Calculator Kata in Scala

It is nice that you have divided the parsing and the actual calculation over the InputParser and the Calculator. I think your InputParser can be improved at some points : Using a regular expression to extract the separator would reduce the size of you InputParser and the large number of method...

@FelixPalmen - Your words are unnecessarily strong. The purpose of launching a thread is to spin off a small task that can be managed by the OS. If done right, synchronization will take care of itself, Sleep() is just a way to tell the OS this thread has done what it needs to for now, come back in a second or two. Freeing up processor cycles for something else. reference this conversation, although for a different core discussion, makes the point. — ryyker 25 secs ago
