TIL you can type in some matchers into the search bar on the chrome network tab

status-code:500

only shows requests with a status code of 500

@DanPantry How is that useful?

@Mast When you're developing a website that has requests occuring all the time (polling) and you want to find a specific group of requests

10:15 AM

What happens when you go status-code:404, will it find all pages it can't find?

for example I have a few 500s related to a specific issue

it'll filter the network history to responses with that code, yes

it has other options like showing requests larger than a given number of kilobytes

yeah same

Perhaps I should set aside my dislike for Chrome and try it, so I have any idea what you're talking about.

status 500 means I screwed up

because someone forgot to put two zeros after 1

lol

var percentage = amount / 1;

no - the field in EF was only allowing 1 maximum character

But data in the DB had 100 max characters ( and teh col allowed 100)

so when I tried to update a record it blew up in my face

lol

10:31 AM

mother of obscure bugs, though

We only noticed it because the Swedish data we imported had actually filled out that column. No one else had.

Was the data rejected or pruned to 1 character?

Just flat-out rejected

At least that saved you some trouble.

Otherwise you'd have found out this bugs months later.

Yeah

Well, the thing is

It looks like the stuff I've updated has caused this

So the solution is under al ot of scrutiny right now (which makes me look bad)

Even though a lot of these issues have absolutely nothing to do with the upgrade at all

:(

10:32 AM

For example, some columns were wrapping around when they shouldn't be

That's not my problem, the person who wrote it had only occupied 11 out of 12 columns

SO when I upgraded kendo and it wasn't doing stupid stuff, it properly respected the 11 columns and so was wrapping..

It's like a house of cards

Flip one, flip all.

It's my 1-1 on Thursday, though, so I'll bring it up then..

I imagine the topic will come up anyway

I'm very tempted to make a house of cards right now

I may have stumbled on a Welsh 404, but I'm not sure...

10:37 AM

That's welsh, yes.

@DanPantry Yes, I'm pretty sure about that. I just wasn't sure whether it actually said 404.

And yes that looks like a 404 to me

Turns out it does (thanks Google).

dudalen means page

I think something similar was written on the inside of the One Ring

10:38 AM

LOL

> This is not the Ring you're looking for.

I'm not sure why it is dudalen though

We usually wrote.. and pronounced.. it "tudalen"

Welsh has this weird thing to do with mutations of sounds based on the consonant that precedes it though, so idk

> Welsh has this weird thing

Nuff said.

s/has/is/

"Ymddiheuriadau"

I'm welsh and I don't even know where to begin on pronouncing that.

I suppose spitting in a bucket would be close enough.

10:40 AM

A good question at this point would be why @Mast is browsing Welsh sites incorrectly

"um-thi-ery-ah-deye" is it phonetically

and, as you can see, how it is pronounced has absolutely nothing to do with how it is written.

I'm convinced Welsh was written by a couple of stoners 300 years ago as kind of practical joke against the English

@CaptainObvious Why does no one ever know about promise chaining

10:43 AM

@DanPantry feel free to answer the question

const result = scope.CurrentUser.Surname.length > 0
if (result) {
  return apiService.UniqueEmailCheck(scope.CurrentUser.PersonId, scope.CurrentUser.Email)
    .then(function (response) {
      const data = response.data
      if (!response.data) {
        return null
      }

      return apiService.GetSelectetExistent(scope.CurrentUser.FirstName, scope.CurrentUser.Surname, scope.CurrentUser.DOB)
    })
    .then(function (response) {
      $scope.SelectExistent = response
      return $scope.SelectExistent.length > 0

That's a quick rework already..

> TELL HIM HE IS A PRETTY CAT

I'm still laughing over that image

@Quill Long story.

@DanPantry Isn't that opening the door to all evil?

@Mast Promise chaining isn't, I would argue not chaining promises is more evil as it makes things super complicated.

10:48 AM

@Quill You could even ask on Science Fiction & Fantasy what the original image is.

The following excerpts do the same thing:

I don't recognize the setting.

@Mast it's star trek

@DanPantry Is chaining promises not a maintainability nightmare?

no

10:48 AM

var d = $q.defer()
service.someAsyncCallThatReturnsAPromise().success(function (result) {
  d.resolve(result)
}).error(function (error) {
  d.reject(error)
})
return d

vs

@Mast just the image url

service.someAsyncCallThatReturnsAPromise().then(function (response) {
  ....
}).catch(function (error) {
  ....
})

The fail is strong with me today...

when you chain promises, you use spec compliant behaviour and reduce the creation of new objects (as whenever you add a .then you're creating a new promise handler anyway. .then + defer = two objects + a closure creation

also with defer you lose stack traces

10:50 AM

@DanPantry That's bad.

using a deferred object shows a fundamental lack of understanding of what promises are

A promise is analogous to a Task, not a callback.

would you create lots of Tasks in C#? Nope, you'd use continuations

@DanPantry "dot-location": ["error", "property"]

The only time you wanna use a deferred is if you are wrapping existing code that doesn't use a promise

and even then there is new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {}) for that

@Quill wat

@DanPantry it's the eslint rule to say you should have the dot property calls on the next line

@Quill Ah yeah, you probably should do that I'm just lazy

10:52 AM

@DanPantry Right. Now put that all in an answer, earn free internet points and teach the internet it should stop believing in fallacies.

eslint defaults to having the dots on the same line, but the property names on the newline o_O

@Mast I will at lunch time

Awesome.

@Quill That probably helps in terms of line endings. It's much more obvious you're doing something stupid if you do foo.;something() instead of foo;\r\n.something()

normal people don't care about line endings

10:54 AM

well if you're using a mac you wouldn't ;-;

line endings and character encoding doesn't matter to joe programmer

try using git in both a bash and windows environment

@DanPantry Or, you know, receive data over UART on a terminal.

0xDEADBEEF\r\n0xCAFEBABE\r\n results in.

These kind of questions are actually appropriate for Code Review — Whirlwind 54 secs ago

0xDEADBEEF, which gets cleared, which gets overwritten as 0xCAFEBABE, which gets cleared.

So you only see one line in your terminal.

Just \n will simply put everything right under each other.

Of-course, now we know what \r does here, we can remove the \n

Line endings are important :-)

@Mast Well, we took a much larger accounting ~~workbook~~ pile of monstrous spaghetti, deleted most of it, isolated the balance sheet transactions parts, re-organised those, modified it to our time horizon, then started adding line items, renaming accounts, re-sizing lookup ranges and putting figures in it.

Then we spent an hour figuring out why our balance sheet wasn't balancing

But it's fine. It balances. It's all good. Round 2 tomorrow.

11:25 AM

You want to do what?

@Kaz Balancing sheets in balance are good.

@Kaz So you started with a problem and fixed it within 3 hours. I'd call that a success.

@Donald.McLean I never tried cocaine because I didn't think it could be used correctly...

@Malachi Mine, obviously ^^ Theirs isn't bad, but I dislike relying on values having not been changed and it doesn't provide a structure for handling different kinds of errors in different ways.

12:58 PM

For the record, SQL doesn't have good error handling either, and sometimes it's better to avoid massive try/catch statements by using GOTO

@Malachi I'm sure that there's some obscure and unusual circumstance for which cocaine is the answer. I can't imagine it, myself, but I'm sure it exists.

So, all I need is 1 upvote and 1 downvote ^^

1:13 PM

@Mast heresy :D

I have been editing some of my old jQuery answers here is one with a substantial edit --> codereview.stackexchange.com/a/59941/18427

> VBA only has 3 On Error Statements.
On Error Resume Next (skip over any line that's causing an error).
On Error Goto [Label] (skip over the line and resume execution at [Label]).
On Error Goto 0, reset Error Handling back to standard (what it would be without any On Error modifications).

that last one is actually a version of the second one

so it really only has 2 On Error Statements, right?

@Kaz And what's the [] doing around it?

[On Error Goto 0]

Ah, those were just for emphasis.

1:20 PM

Oooooooh.

So those don't do jack?

~~They wouldn't even compile (I think)~~ It compiles. I've no idea what it compiles to but it does something.

I am, apparently, very ignorant about floating point arithmetic (and off by one errors) @Duga

It's easy to get an error deep in the decimals. So 2 can end up being 1.9999999997. And if you're looking for ==2, it may never happen.
