@Mat'sMug That looks awful.

IKR
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" seems to fix it
yup
and... that was dumb. very very dumb
I'm an idiot
 
@Mat'sMug Does VB.NET have anything like C#'s using Static for enums?
 
Shared?
wait, what's using static?
 
I think this should be migrated to CodeReview — Oriol just now
 
using static System.IO.FileMode;
Then, you can just use the FileMode members like Append instead of FileMode.Append.
 
TIL using static is a thing
if VB.NET is backward-compatible on that, all enums are using static by default
FWIW I think it's an awful idea
 
3:14 AM
I've not seen any indication of that.
 
oh it's C# 6
woot woot
 
Key1?
 
yes. Key2 is hidden for now
 
Oh.
 
because 2-step hotkeys require the LL keyhook, which is still disabled
but hotkeys can be enabled
and, they seem to work :)
 
3:18 AM
After this bug, I just have to adjust the C# tests and write the VB.NET tests.
Then, I have to get ahold of the Roslyn team to discuss the merge conflicts between Master and my branch. I was told to work in Stabilization so I could PR to Master and potentially Stabilization as well.
 
is VSD making a warning to the effect of "'using static' makes it harder to determine where an enum value belongs, and easier to run into naming clashes."?
 
No. You can make an issue if you want, though.
We are desperately behind in VSD.
 
I would suggest you avoid merge conflicts with Roslyn
 
That is my goal. That is why I need to contact them.
Besides, they told me to not bring Master into my branch because they might want me to PR to Stabilization too, and they don't want Master in Stabilization.
 
confirmed: RD hotkeys work. now I just need to make them actually do something

A: Default Implementation of Objective-C Optional Protocol Methods

@CaptainObvious using aysnc code in a ctor makes me feel pretty uneasy...
I don't feel like I have authoritative knowledge to leave an answer though.
 
private void WaitForTargetToBeLoaded()
{
    while (!_target.IsLoaded)
    {
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1);
    }

That should be reason enough to feel uneasy
You can't asynchronously construct new objects
I believe the common solution is to provide a async Task Initialize() method that does the async stuff then
 
@JeroenVannevel Oh snap! I missed that! Ouch!
This is also kind of a wtf.
> IEnumerable<ITerminal> terminals = await terminalFactory.EnumerateTerminals();
terminals.ToList().ForEach(Terminals.Add);
I'm going to iterate the collection so that I can iterate the collection.
 
Yeah, at the very least he's iterating twice
Can't look inside EnumerateTerminals() but it probably doesn't make much sense there either
 
I'm not 100% sure of that. The compiler might be smart enough. Not sure.
 
.ToList().ForEach() will create a list and then iterate a list
 
1:43 PM
Okay, then it does what I thought it did.
 
Not something it can optimize because .ForEach() only works on a list
 
@RubberDuck shouldn't that be just: Terminals.AddAll(terminalFactory.EnumerateTerminals());?
 
@Vogel612 I think to do it lazy it'd be something like
var terminals = await terminalFactory.EnumerateTerminals()
foreach (var term in terminals) { ... }
Or.... actually. Nah. You're right.
 
Terminals.AddAll(await terminalFactory.EnumerateTerminals())

I can't think of a better way of formatting this small block of React JS code, yet I find it ugly to read... anyone got ideas that would make it look better? Or is it fine?
const Todo = ({ onClick, completed, text }) => (
    <li onClick={onClick} style={{textDecoration: completed ? 'line-through' : 'none'}}>
        {text}
    </li>
)
 
@PinCrash I think it looks fine; it looks like an HTML element. What do you find ugly about it? The style part?
 
Yes
 
You could extract that to a variable above it, but that would require you to use an explicit return and to use {}.
 
2:24 PM
IIRC that's simply how it's done in React. I don't like it either.
 
OK, guess I'll just get used to it then :)
 
2:37 PM
@PinCrash Not quite.
Let's consider, for simplicity sake... that the field is 4 bits...
The ~ operator is a bit-wise inverse.
So, if it's zero, than ~0000 is 1111 and that's greater than 1, sure.
But what if it's something like...
~1101
(11)
 
Except, the field is literally 1 bit, and can only be 1, 0 or null...
But, I'm following you
 
So that means you need to ask
If I had to guess... it probably was originally a bit mask field
and someone pointed out that you can have single bit width columns
 
I'd certainly be curious to find out
 
2:59 PM
Anyway, the difference is all bits are off versus any bit is off.

I dunno, I might almost consider assembly to be mostly esoteric...
 
4:34 PM
@CaptainObvious The authority problems are strong with this one.
 
@nhgrif In some ways. I was just having the same conversation about FORTH the other day. My argument was that it didn't have to be designed to be an esoteric Lang in order to eventually become one.
 
If you are writing assembly and asked why, aside from "homework for a class", the reasons are going to be mostly similar to why you are writing any other esoteric language most of the time.
> The use of esoteric distinguishes these languages from programming languages that working developers use to write software
That's not to say that no working developers write actual production assembly code.
Just that it's mostly not done...
 
So, I should go write a production system in Whitespace, and it won't be an esoteric language anymore?
 
No
If you are writing in a particular language for any reason besides that it is the best tool for the job, you are at a minimum making an esoteric use of that language (even if it's not an esoteric language)
3
 
And that's kind of how FORTH is. There's still some production code floating around from the bad old days, but you wouldn't write any new code in it.
 
4:48 PM
Like writing an Adroid app in Objective-C would be an esoteric use of that programming language which still has modern uses in production code today... But it's far from the best option for developing an Android app in.
 
5:01 PM
Or, you know, developing anything with VB.
That's it. I'm convinced. VB is an esoteric language.

Is your question basically "this works, but is this the right way to do it?" If so, I think your best bet is CodeReview. If it doesn't work, then can you add to your question what doesn't work (please review what a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example is)? — Barry 1 min ago

Q: IDataConvert::Release() does not return 0

BartIn order to convert a database type DB_NUMERIC to real, I noticed that a call to IDataConvert::Release() does not return 0, which is indicative of some additional pointers to the object dangling somewhere.

Q: Program to find the longest Collatz sequence crashes

SmebI made this program to find the longest Collatz sequence which starts with a positive integer below 1000000. But the program crashes at the same integer (113382) everytime I run it. The weird thing is that when I try to find the sequence length with n = 113382, without the while loop, the program...

Q: Prime Number Calculator with GUI

@ruakh Right, but the hash itself may or may not do a pure hashCode() % reservedSize to determine which hash slot to use.

Q: Merge Sort Implementation Efficiency

JoeI made a merge sort implementation in C++, which I have tested with the values 6, 38, 27, 7, 12, 58, 92, 43, 3, 9, 82, 10, producing the correct output of 3 6 7 9 10 12 27 38 43 58 82 92.

I think nhgrif uses WordPress too, but I'm not sure.
Is it good that Roslyn's tests take so long to run that it is easier to just test things out in real time, then write the test suite?
I catch lots of bugs with my test suite, but I only run it when I'm getting ready to commit.
 
That's the usual moment to test, right?
 
Not in VSD. I run the tests every time I change something in VSD.
Thing is, in Roslyn, I have to run the entire suite from the commandline.
It caches the results for the unchanged projects, but it still takes a long time to run just one suite.
 
Does it take more than 20 minutes?
 
Around there, more/less.
 
11:17 PM
Ouch.
 
Well, probably closer to 10 minutes than 20 if I'm only running one suite (the others are cached).
It takes about an hour the first time I run them.
 
That takes the fun out of it quite rapidly.
 
It takes about 30-sec to 1-min to build if everything is cached.
 
That's not a problem, but 20 minutes for tests is.
 
They've been running for 10 minutes now.
Just finished.
So, 10 minutes like I guessed.
One more test suite to write, and then PR time!
Or rather, commit time, and time to figure out where the merge conflict is.

Anyone think public Task StartServer() => Task.Run(() => { _netServerAdapter.Run(); }); is a little too confusing?
