@Hosch250 I pimped my way to the top, you didn't do much pimping
@Quill-HATMANIAC Oh yes I did.
I pimped all day for Amazing Grace and 007.
I pimped a few other times as well.
Got Amazing Grace before I had any clue why.

Been away from SE for a couple of months. Hats have quite passed me by.
Hi there guys!
I got some hats, but I forgot to take a snap shot of all the hats I had... :(
Can you get the list of all of your hats? And not only the number of hats?
Found it... I could log in, and see them... Cool!

Q: Simple compression reloaded++

ChrisWueAs a follow up to my previous question here is the improved code + algorithm. The compression now works the following way: Each character is followed by a length byte.

It's 4am. I guess I might as well start getting up now.
@Zak Same here. I took a 7 hour nap and woke up at midnight. So far I have dyed my hair blue, done ironing, washing, had two mugs of hot chocolate and had breakfast.

foreach (string s in locations) {
    sb.AppendFormat("{0},", s);

this is why we need code review
@Quill feels kinda weird to have MemberHelper with getUserLocation. Why not just have a User object with their locations on it
also.. is that C#? We use PascalCase not camelCase in c# for methods
Not my code and yeah
I want to change it but I don't want seniors breathing down my neck about 'pointless' changes

I had an hour long conversation about the difference between string.Empty, String.Empty and "" the other day at work
didn't help that I don't really know C#
04:53
@JeroenVannevel Hello, my name is syb0rg and I am a monkaholic
string.Empty and String.Empty refer to the same symbol, @Quill.
actually no
string is a language keyword that is just an alias to the type String
there is a difference
~fetches SO post
I'm 99% sure of this but I'd like to be proven wrong

even jon skeet doesnt use string.Empty
517
A: In C#, should I use string.Empty or String.Empty or ""?

Jon SkeetUse whatever you and your team find the most readable. Other answers have suggested that a new string is created every time you use "". This is not true - due to string interning, it will be created either once per assembly or once per AppDomain (or possibly once for the whole process - not sure...

also I might be wrong
> Use whatever you and your team find the most readable.
string.Empty is the same thing as String.Empty
"" and string.Empty are different though
I think I read something about string being a C thing and String being a C# thing
but like I said, I'm no expert
@Quill it's convention, but they're the same type
I remember reading somewhere (lost link) that they are alias
AFK shower to wash dye off
actually
they're not 100% the same thing
21
A: Why do lowercase and uppercase versions of string exist and which should I use?

Konrad RudolphIn C#, lower-case type names are aliases for the System.xxx type names, e.g. string equals System.String and int equals System.Int32. It's best practice to use these language alieses for the type names instead of their framework equivalent, for the sake of consistency. So you're doing it wrong. ...

04:57
string is an alias for String but they're not 100% exchangable
@JeroenVannevel Well, ye, String requires a namespace
try typeof(string) and typeof(String), for example
But I'm talking about referential equality
That's not equal?
TIL.
you can't use aliases in a typeof() call
so int neither
and all others
I think there are one or two more scenarios where they differ but they don't come to mind right away
@Quill that's def bs though
fair enough

but like I said, I'm no expert
somehow the old developer got into the habit of using a delimiter of ||| instead of something sensible

05:04
@JeroenVannevel Well, thank you for correcting my ignorance
I used an iron for the first time today.
quick question, why does Resharper tell me to use var (built-in types) for all my type declarations? I thought overusing var was evil
@Quill Using var when the type isn't obvious is evil.
That rarely happens.
it just so happens that the majority of people use VS for their C# development and VS' intellisense is actually pretty good
a lot of the time duplicate type declarations is just noise.
looking at you, Java
Zak
Zak
@DanPantry Oh, that's a good point. I have a week's worth of ironing to do.
Of course, I'm only praising VS now because I haven't used it in 2 weeks. Expect me to come in here in about ~6 hours swearing about how annoying VS is.
VS Code is messed up

Gah. Angular2. changed. everything. why
start your own framework, called Diagonal
also we're probably going to swap to typescript at work along with Angular 2
@Quill Good luck, it's a whole other framework to what Angular used to be
I'm not really a fan of TS because it flat-out refuses to work with a lot of npm modules unless they have typings, and there are a surprising amount that don't
I have my doubts about Typescript mainly
It can be handy in collaborative environments, but honestly nothing that could be solved with correct docs and decent testing in the first place
I would love to push for Babel and ES6 but that ain't happening
08:03
@Quill TypeScript (1.9) has a lot of ES6 features
FWIW
Angular2 requires ES6
because it uses annotations - that's probably why you're going to use TypeScript. Angular2 uses typescript in their docs, and it isn't until recently that Babel supported annotations.
I've just consumed a regular coffee, a pro plus and a doubleshot of expresso.
annotations?
@Quill Have you seen the... I forget what they are called in java. attributes? I think
Oh, those
@Serializable
class Foo {

}
Okay well they look like that
Essentially the annotation syntax takes a function (Serializable) and applies it to a class (or method/parameter)
Angular2 utilises this feature heavily
@Component({
  template: `<h1>Hello, World</h1>`
})
class HelloWorldComponent {
}
Crazy how Java-like JavaScript looks now. Maybe we can start saying they are related :-)
I'm not sure how well that'll turn out for us
meh
08:07
Just remember that Angular2 is currently in beta and things are subject to change
But the annotation syntax and so forth isn't going away (it's in ES.Future/ES7) so you might as well get used to it
The annotation syntax itself is incredibly powerful and can be applied to classes, methods, functions and parameters
function MyService(@Inject('$log') log) {

}
just when I'm like 'oh finally getting the hang of this constructor and prototype chain business'
ES6 and 7 come along and drop me back on my head
thanks, progress!
Nearly all of the features in ES6/7 are syntactical sugar (maybe with the exception of Reflect).
So all of this stuff was possible before, there's just now a standard on it.
I know, even Babel's sugar was a little bit too salty for me
08:12
oh, yeah, I should mention that babel currently doesn't support parameter annotations. That's a Typescript thing.
I should probably do some work. BTW.Work.

@Zak yes, RoboSanta posts at 9UTC and 21UTC now, as explained on his profile (see also this meta discussion: meta.codereview.stackexchange.com/a/6393/12390)
@Quill Why?
It changes the indentation on a question
and not just adding four globally
like fixing it
It's an obvious copy-paste error, I've seen mods fix things like that.
I think @Mat'sMug is even a fan of fixing indentation.
09:07
It's not a copy paste error or the function header would've been outside the code block
it doesn't matter much either way

Doesnt' look like a copy-paste error to me either - look at the existing indentation

it didn't change anything else besides adding backticks around the language name

@Mast Yes. It's still all in Excel.
Once I'm satisfied nothing broke over the holidays, my job for the next month(s) is moving everything into Access.
@Zak It's not all that bad. Half of my company is propped up on an old Excel spreadsheet. :-)
@Zak That just sounds like you're going from bad to worse.

@DanPantry Eh, for data that should be in a database, Access > Excel

I don't see why you would use Access over a traditional DB
Maybe avaliability, I guess. Most people who have Excel will have Access.

Because everyone around here knows and understands MS Office
@Zak That's a fair point actually.
But it's still only the first step of improvement.
Zak
Zak
@Mast Sure, but it's a step all the same.
I'd definitely go to management and say "Hey, since we're going to move to a different system anyway, let's do it right in one go instead of having to move again in a couple of years"
@Zak Yup.
At least there's progress.
That's good.
Zak
Zak
It was hard enough to persuade them to move out of Excel (I had to go through an external database guy one of the directors knows)
10:10
As I recall, Access can be a front-end to a proper db. But I guess that's not how Zak's being allowed to use it.
Even then, it's hardly a great front-end, ofc.
Zak
Zak
@itsbruce I'll cross that bridge when I come to it :)
@Zak Good. Means you did what you could and got at least something to show for it.
Did I mention such a feat looks great on your curriculum?
You get things done.
You know what the right tool for the job is.
And, you're not too pushy for wanting to go all the way when you know this is the best available for the moment.
If I'd be a manager, I'd hire you.
@Zak If you keep the db design clean, transitioning to an Access front-end and sql server back-end shouldn't be hard - if it ever comes to it.
On an unrelated note, could one of the C# guys take a quick look at this so we'll have at least an indication whether it's broken or not? I'd love to take OP's word for it, but he isn't sure either.
Zak
Zak
@itsbruce Put it this way, I plan to do a lot of asking you guys "How should I design a database for future growth" before / during transition
Once it's in a database, it should be much easier to argue for moving to a different database as and when necessary (probably once we get to a point where a web front-end would make sense)

@Elyasin: CodeReview is for working codes only. Unless I'm misunderstanding "but nothing to testcase-2" (I'm assuming this means that testcase-2 doesn't provide the right answer), OP's code is not working at the moment. — R_Kapp 50 secs ago
