@TanMath everybody tried to help, and the situation got out of hand. It's since been resolved.
We like to move forward, and thus mistakes replaced with happier things

@Quill you're an ass
@Quill LOL

@DanPantry I think Ismael pulled that trick a while ago with Astley.
@nhgrif Does it look the same?
@nhgrif so many libraries require xcode cli, wouldn't be that much of a jump, right?
Make sure you make it nice black and green, not the white-background Macs use by default.
@Mast I pulled that exact trick yesterday
@TanMath Plenty.
00:14
@nhgrif Close enough.
@Quill The difference for me is that... if I wanted to do this with Objective-C, or C, or C++, I have to first build & compile, then run it. With Swift, it's simple...
$ swift yourSwiftFileName.swift
Hi, @JNat!
@nhgrif Runs interpreted?

@nhgrif That's a damn big screen
MAC BOOK PRO
And it's retina...
your laptop has the same resolution as two of my screens.. lol
yeah, but it's retina
00:22
What size? We have the 15" version, and it doesn't look that big.
the new iPad's screen is nearly the same same as my MacBook Air's screen
If I open that image, it displays larger than the original (by a factor of 2)
It's mid-2015, 15"
Ours is from 2006.
lol
It was our first computer since Windows 98, or something.

Hey @nhgrif! Long time!

So, go figure. I was told I'd have to learn how to develop an iOS app today, then you magically appear. =P
I have a better idea
I politely asked to work on the embedded stuff instead.
Metova always welcomes on new clients.
You want me to build your app?
Yeah. I bet you'd deliver tests...
YUP
Or be fired
00:27
@RubberDuck He'll deliver you the moon, in an iFrame.
meanwhile our employers would laugh at tests
We're not developing from scratch. Somebody else did version 1 and we're taking it from there.
And?
@RubberDuck You can write it with C# in VS 2015. Waits to be jumped on
And there will be no tests.
00:28
That's the sort of project I'm on now... although 2 weeks ago we started a rewrite from scratch.
Whatever you're doing, it's not worse than what I was doing up until 2 weeks ago.
Yeah. Sounds about right.
No tests, at least there will be no failure either.
@Hosch250 Shoo.
Lol. .Net 2.0 wanna bet?
00:28
@Hosch250 or use Xamarin and C#
HTML5.
@Hosch250 I'm actually very interested in that.
@RubberDuck heh... the language I was working in would be what I'd call Procedural-C.
@RubberDuck Shrug I would ask to be on the embedded team too.
00:29
Which is to say... it's Objective-C, but it's not object oriented.
Globals and preprocessor macros.
But @RubberDuck ... since you like embedded, and you're about to possibly be doing some iOS, here's a question I'm looking at that might interest you
@RubberDuck I can create a project and see how it looks. Good luck getting my mom to let me install it on her phone to actually test it...

Q: Reading bytes from packet

MelindaI have a device I connect to on TCP socket. I send it a message with what I want and it sends back all sorts of useful information: Header: +---------------+----------+----------+ | MagicWord | 2 bytes | 0xCAFE | | Version | 1 byte | 0x02 | | Type | 1 byte | Var...

We've got one of those in C#. Thank god it doesn't support a preprocessor.
Ohhh. Shiny. Brb
I'm glad that Swift also doesn't support preprocessor.
@RubberDuck I guess it is a Xamarin project.
@nhgrif Me too. Preprocessor is the nastiest.
00:31
extension UInt32 {
    init?(bytes: [UInt8]) {
        if bytes.count != 4 {
            return nil
        }

        var value: UInt32 = 0
        for byte in bytes {
            value = value << 8
            value = value | UInt32(byte)
        }
        self = value
    }
}

extension UInt16 {
    init?(bytes: [UInt8]) {
        if bytes.count != 2 {
            return nil
        }

        var value: UInt16 = 0
        for byte in bytes {
            value = value << 8
            value = value | UInt16(byte)
OK, so essentially VS 2015 has Xamarin built in.
part of my upcoming answer. ;)
What is ~= ??
It allowed for arcane tricks, but preprocessor macros don't fit in the current model of programming paradigms (most anyway).
lol... I had to ask that myself...
00:32
@RubberDuck just about equal to
No, wait, I know that.
Isn't that inversion?
Left argument is a collection, right argument is a value (of that collection type). ~= returns true if the value is in the collection.
@Hosch250 you still have to pay for it
I've never tried it, so I wouldn't know.
~ is usually a NOT operator, that would get confusing very fast.
Uhhh. There should not be operators for somethings.
That's what I thought at first too @Mast. That's why I was confused.
00:35
@Quill Yeah, it asks me to install it first thing.
@nhgrif So it is like C#'s .Contains() method?
sort of
Or Python's in operator?
So, he's got a big bag of bit masked values, why isn't he pulling it out by bit masking?
I don't get it...
@RubberDuck this code will let you actually run it
let bytes: [UInt8] = [
  0xfe, 0xca, 0x02, 0x30,
  0x00, 0x00, 0x0e, 0x00,
  0x4e, 0x5b, 0xa2, 0x56,
  0x12, 0x19, 0x00, 0x00,
  0x22, 0x00, 0x12, 0x19,
  0x07, 0x00
]
let data = NSData(bytes: bytes, length: bytes.count)
Sometimes, you just have to learn a language yourself.
Apr 25 '15 at 21:11, by rolfl
now I know that I can't just ignore jQuery... I have to learn it, but I have enough understanding of why... to know that it is important, and solves real problems that I would not want to have to solve myself, again, and again.
That goes for other languages as well ^^
00:37
And @RubberDuck this at the end will let you see what he pulls out:
for item in location {
  print("\(item.0): \(item.1)\n")
}
Funny @Mast. I recently came to the same conclusion about that @rolfl did.
@RubberDuck they're not bitmasked. It's an array of bytes. It's a payload that needs to be broken into discrete, multi-byte values

@RubberDuck I'm currently learning myself how to do web-dev. Front-end first, Full-stack later.
@RubberDuck hey it's better than YUI
@CaptainObvious overcommenting like an undergrad there

00:40
@Vogel612 Last release is 1.5 years ago, is it still being developed or has it finally ceased to exist?
And yes, that looks horrible.
I have no clue whether it's actually under development, but I had to use it at my old job
I just noticed that @nhgrif. I was confused by the data in the quote blocks.
it was used to provide css for jsp-built tables...
and nothing else...
not the inline editing, not the asynchronous submission of edits, not the client-side sorting, no nothing...
it was just glorified CSS gone awry
and all the stuff you could've pushed into client side was done on the server for god knows which reasons
That sounds... awful
it's beginning to surprise me how I actually held out 6 months there
00:43
I hope I don't have to do any web-dev any-time soon professionally. But for some reason I was suddenly building webservers at my last job, so you never know.
Which was around the time I started yelling at JavaScript.
@Mast if you keep stuff simple webdev is easy as pie
When does stuff ever stay simple ^^
that's the obvious problem
It does when you write-refactor-rerefactor-code review-refactor-R#erize.
Sometimes you have to code review-refactor 2 or 3 times.
@Hosch250 some things are actually impossible to keep simple
but that's a very limited set of problems
00:46
Sometimes. Like writing keyhooks involving 5 files that call managed (or is it unmanaged?) code and cause strange and nefarious exceptions, any one of which causes the whole thing to fail.
There is a reason we haven't cleared that for release yet...
Supper time. BBL.
Zak
Zak
@Quill Sure, though I would argue there was also a separate, distinct problem here of escalation and failure of conflict resolution (regardless of who you think is at fault).
Strange and nefarious exceptions? Sounds like unmanaged to me.
Zak
Zak
That's what I assumed might get Meta'd
01:06
@RubberDuck OK. We are calling into COM interop code and stuff there.
Oh yeah. Calling into unmanaged code from the managed world is fun.
@Zak If you feel you can make an objective post about it, go ahead and see who shows up.
phew, finally finished the code for that question, @RubberDuck... posting answer soon.
I'll keep my eyes on it. =)

A: Reading bytes from packet

nhgrifOne things for certain... an array of tuples which is basically being used as a glorified dictionary is never going to suffice as an acceptable data model. Moreover, an array of bytes isn't really that much useful than what we start with. So what's clear, we need an actual data model. So names...

01:41
@RubberDuck you don't need jquery
I can absolutely promise you that
plain JavaScript is fine
jQuery just makes things easier. it's just not good for small stuff
better to use for animating elements
Hmm.. my SQL is rusty... I want to add a row with averages for column, plus a row with sums, but still see all of the other rows...

FROM ...
Also... I forgot how to leave comments...

What is Abc in that, @Mat'sMug?

01:54
@nhgrif what's up?
@nhgrif hey that's pretty cool! internal competition? you own them all! haha!
I want to see a sum and average row at the bottom of that query.
But my sql is too rusty
@Mat'sMug I was trying to encourage a competition...
We do have this though stackoverflow.com/teams/68/metova
so that's cool
huh, I never got the email saying teams was up
02:07
It's beta still.
And I got a beta invite.
I really suck at SQL, but I get what you're wanting to do
you want the sum + average of all records?
you need to union with a separate query that does it
Or maybe a case
Yeah... I was afraid that might be the case.
There are 29 rows now, right
I want row 30 to be sum of those rows
and row 31 to be average (of 1 through 29, not including the sum row, obviously)
ew religious chat flags
02:12
@nhgrif Ah. Then union sounds like it will be your solution, unfortunately
You could also do those things in Excel, but... Excel
@nhgrif that's what Excel is for...
Honestly, I'd return the "pure" dataset, and then perform your final calculations client side, or return multiple datasets from the sproc.
Eww. I feel dirty even suggesting that.
The returning multiple datasets thing.
@RubberDuck lol, I wanted to say that
Yeah... It's clever... I hate clever.

From a management point of view, "I can't change the existing couts" does not gel with "I can change what the existing couts do". Do you not have any semblance of stability control in your codebase?

Hey @Caridorc!
@Quill I have been quite inactive lately, but now here I am
I also have a doubt: In your opinion should I answer a question about a programming challange just suggesting a faster algorithm? It just seems to spoil the challange
13:11
A lot of opinion based questions will get voted down or marked as off topic for this forum. The idea is that they attract a lot of spam and unrelated comments to this forum. You might try the code review forum within the stack exchange website family. You might also asked something more specific like so you will attract more quality answers. An example would be will this method be more secure and/or faster than the other.

paul23Well considering the following function: def test_func(all_copies, checker): bad_copies = set(c[0] for c in itertools.permutations(all_copies, 2) if not checker(*c)) all_copies = [c for c in all_copies if c not in bad_copies] return all_copies This function basically checks (and re...

Sebastian Jennings AlmnesCurrently I have an app that have many stores. Each store can have several products. Whom again can have many product attributes assigned to them. For instance a shirt is a product, and size and color would be an attribute. What this method does is add that product with it attributes to the cart...

@Rubberduck203 Thx for that bounty. Hadn't had a bounty from someone else on a (non-meta) question of mine before. Makes for a great day :-)

Hey @nhgrif. Is there any sensible way to try out Xamarin without running out and spending an amount of money that my wife would murder me over?
I don't have a Mac...
16:17
@RubberDuck Persuade the boss to get it for you?
@RubberDuck It looks like you can get it for free: xamarin.com/platform
I'm not sure if that is everything you need, but it looks like it might be.
@Hosch250 The Mac or Xamarin?
Xamarin.
I'm installing it right now. I'll let you know how it goes.

Q: Making record of students and their grades

RachI am trying to write the following code which enables the user to enter a student's details (username, firstname, surname) as well their grades (there can be one grade or several). The code can also show the students entered and their marks. This is what I have so far but I am having issues with...

Yeah. It's worthless without a Mac to connect to over the network as far as I can tell @Hosch250. Waiting for the install to finish.
We have a Mac in the budget, but don't have it yet. I was hoping to evaluate Xamarin a bit before then.
I just got an email. It appears this is just an evaluation.
We have two apps. We're taking over one, and building the other from scratch.
There's talk about Android too though, so Xamarin seems like a nice option.
Any Windows expert around? Trying to help someone troubleshoot an issue with a monitor where the firmware may have become corrupted... would I need to be in BIOS to access something like that or would the Windows shell work OK?
I won't be a help vampire, I promise, I just need to figure out where to start :)
send it back for repairs
It's too old to be worth repairing really
16:37
Then it's just in time to be replaced
But an OEM firmware update seems to have failed without completing and now it's borked
I've never even heard about corrupted monitor firmware
who updates their monitor?!
I didn't know about that either, but evidently it's possible. But it was updating via VGA port, which is really slow, and I imagine not very reliable
@Phrancis Uninstall the monitor driver from the driver manager, then reinstall it.
That might help, but probably not.
It sounds like you need access to the monitor's BIOS somehow.
OK we'll try the drivers first, and go to BIOS. We may end up junking it but I hate to just throw away something that might be fixable
