@Zak I'm jealous
codereview.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/56829 --> didn't show that I rejected it once already....
today I was told that I should reduce the number of hours I spend coding from 5 to 4 per day so I can provide support to user tickets..
I will leave it though, because it appears that the user did their research, but I did leave a comment as well
@WhiteHotLoveTiger , wouldn't it be MaxDate instead of CreateDate in the column declaration? — Malachi 8 mins ago

Sometimes I wish there was a Programmers Anonymous, like Alcoholics Anonymous.
additionally, there are so many books i need to read
like this one.. I still need to finish The Clean COder and the books janos got me for christmas
whoever decided to put 24 hours in a day failed to realise that 24 is too few

@DanPantry If there were a downstar, you'd have it.
hey, if you want iced coffee at least you could just put your mug outside for a few minutes
@Zak basically it's becoming very apparent we are suffering resource issues
oh well
Zak
Zak
I guess this is why Facebook added the emoticon things.
@DanPantry As am I.
17:11
I mean the PMO said I can spend 10% of the sprint doing refactoring and stuff.. but 10% of 60 hours isn't enough time to get anything done
Well, 23 views and 0 votes.

@Mast One of the few advantages of being the only IT guy: so long as there is nothing urgent around, I have mostly carte blanche to develop as I see fit.
well, it's 3am... but at least I understand the code finally
@Zak I had that advantage, and then suddenly I got given some 30 tickets in the past 2 weeks
while also being given the most complex feature since our initial release
in the same sprint
Zak
Zak
Yeah, my last 2 months were like that (which explains why I'm a whole day in and still feeling I could spend another entire day refactoring it further).
17:12
To be fair, that's probably because you can never be done refactoring
@Mat'sMug not sure I should have posted that....lol
@Malachi lol
@Zak Tell me what certifications to get and I'll seriously consider it.
it would be weird to hear her call me MaxDate though....
@Malachi it'll get lost in the transcript eventually
17:13
@Malachi Unless your name happens to be Max.
@Mast it's not
wait, you wanted to be called MaxDate?
I starred because I thought you wanted to be called "WhiteHotLoveTiger"
lol no
I was being funny.... but WhiteHotLoveTiger would sound odd coming out of her mouth....
It would sound odd coming out of anyone's mouth.
right?
17:15
Sounds like a quote from a Seth Rogan movie.
@Quill you, understand code?
Zak
Zak
@Mast You seem to be assuming I have any certifications at all...
@Malachi at least this code
Zak
Zak
Believe me, If I were this useful with a spreadsheet and certified to boot, my salary would be double what it is.
@Zak Well, there must be some reason they hired you.

17:16
@Mast Probably because someone with certifications would be double what he is? :p /end quote Zak

@Mast "Smart and gets things done"
@Zak certs are a scam
Zak
Zak
@Mat'sMug Depends on the industry and the cert.
@Mat'sMug A lot of them are, but some of the basic ones are actually quite useful.

That's the total number of questions on each SE site, scaled logarithmically.
@EBrown Why is SO on there twice?
Zak
Zak
Finance is heavily regulated.
Oh, my mistake, SO isn't on there twice.
Zak
Zak
(though you might not believe it)
There's SO and "SO ????????"
17:18
@DanPantry One is the chinese or japanese site or whatever.
@Zak Can confirm: work for a CRA.
Zak
Zak
I cannot, under any circumstances, discuss anything with our clients. Anything.
@EBrown lol. It just seems like an intensely passive aggressive version of SO. More than usual, I mean
Sorry, russian.
@Zak Exactly. So I expected you to have at least something. Except you aren't in finance exactly, just in the IT of a finance department. Of which I have no clue whether it's regulated.
@EBrown You don't have proper Unicode support?

@Zak eh.. get paid or get out. Someone somewhere is willing to pay you what you're worth

@Mast All my stuff is for internal use, so we can do what we like.
@Mast I'm not sure where it disconnects, but it has the same issue in the DB.
Pretty sure I used varchar and not nvarchar, but that's an easy fix.
Yep, that's the problem.

@Mat'sMug For various reasons I have a lot of goodwill towards the guys here and up until pretty recently I wouldn't have had any complaints about my valuation. If I have an entire year like the last 4 months and my salary isn't 30% higher than it is right now, *then* I might seriously start exploring my options.

Q: Find the odd occurrences in an array

The DeepWeb proposal just went live btw guys
Out of curiosity, anyone here know anything about the ICCP protocol?
I'll take that as a no haha

I Can Code Programs? sure :)
@Quill the wot
@EBrown :-)
@Quill 10 bucks it will turn into something worse than LH currently is within two months.
not with me as top rep user it won't ;p
This is a better fit for code review, despite your disclaimer to the contrary. And the compilers that do funny things when you don't cast the return value from malloc are C++ compilers. — user3386109 50 secs ago
18:20
@Quill You know that much about it?
I know enough :p
Nothing personal, but the whole problem with deepweb is that everybody thinks that.
meh
there's still downvotes flying... just not in my direction
Downvotes during private beta is good.
Not enough downvotes and the whole place goes belly up.
If you have working code (that works as intended), that you would like to improve in any way, it's probably better to post a nicely-formatted question on Code Review (protip: include the whole procedure, not just the if statement, and give reviewers as much context as possible) than in comments on SO ;-) — Mat's Mug 46 secs ago
18:24
So, what's the difference between Tor and Deepweb? Does Deepweb include say I2P?
Yeah
Deepweb is a genre. TOR is just one of the implemented methods.
My first question got a close vote for that actually...
just one though
2 new users? Welcome!
I need to order a UPS.
@Mast Any recommendations?
18:27
@EBrown You got a thing with electronics right? Try to DIY. Mighty fun.
@Mast A DIY UPS?
Do It Yourself
Right, but is that safe?
If your design is good, yea.
If it ain't, no.

Hey Guys, does this deserve a meta question? should we be giving advice on what to put on a resume? --> codereview.stackexchange.com/q/128597/18427
@EBrown Oh. I'll look it up.
@Malachi No, that's very off-topic.
Perhaps The Workplace likes it, but we don't.
> APC Symmetra PX SY250K500DL-PD 250kVA Tower UPS, $152,000.00
Right.
First things first: power specification and reliability
18:32
@EBrown uh, no
@Mast Somewhere in the range of ~1200-1500W.
@EBrown UPS don't do ranges. You'll want to specify a minimum power.
@Mast I know, 1200W is the minimum I need.
If anyone thinks this should go to the Nth, say Aye, otherwise we'll stick it here. Might be interesting for the rest as well, don't know.
@EBrown That shouldn't be too expensive. How reliable do you need it to be?
Next question will be a price range.
@Mast You mean the amount of time it will power for?
No less than 10 minutes, I would presume.
18:37
@Mast there is reviewable code, code that this poster created, the code could be seen as code that she maintains (as a code sample)
@EBrown No, whether you need military, business or consumer grade.
Consumer.
> Is it good or bad practice to show both versions?
Mighty irrelevant for what we do.
Workplace at best, not CR.
I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because questions asking about improving working code are best answered at Code Review. — Robᵩ 30 secs ago
We can review the code given, but not answer the questions he poses.
@EBrown Right, so a cheap 1200W UPS. How expensive max and what is your threat model (do you need to catch a couple of seconds, a couple of minutes or multiple hours)?
18:40
@Mast No more than $1000 USD, and only a few minutes.
Get a 1.5 kVA for a couple hundred.
Hmmm, wait.
Yes, as long as it's 1.5 output.
Looking at this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16842101400&ignorebbr=1&cm_‌​re=ups-_-42-101-400-_-Product
It's bigger than I need, but it's right in the price range.
You don't need anything fancy, right? No settings, no server, etc.
Nope.
Just a battery that charges when it has power, and powers my stuff when it doesn't.
And with a surge protector as well.
Schneider is good, I was just looking at a different product line they had, but you need 120V.
18:48
Yeah, I need 110/120V.

Q: rspec: method mocks on objects returned by activerecord

jtmarmonIf I have a controller that does this: class FooController def bar foo = Foo.find(id) foo.bar render text: 'done' end end What's the right way to test that that particular foo receives bar? So far I've been doing one of the following two methods, both are hacky ...

Honestly, looks good. I'm having trouble finding anyone supplying to the States with 120V, I'm not used to that voltage range :P
I got 75 minutes for ~$230 a few months ago, I used up a whole 15 seconds so far
That's true, the one he linked will power for much longer.
18:53
but you shouldn't need much longer though. not for a home desktop at least.
I have a desktop, Mac and laptop to power.
Yea, but do you need to cover all 3 of those?
Your laptop already has a UPS.
Not this laptop.
No battery in it.
and the mac can fry
Right, that makes it a desktop IMO, but that's semantics.
18:56
@Mast Or a brick
With the one you linked, you'll be powering 1.5 kW for over an hour.
That should be plenty.
@syb0rg nah, my batteryless laptop is useful for rubberducking on a business trip
If the problem isn't solved in 10 minutes, you should go power-saving mode anyway, powering off all non-essentials.
Yeah, I just need them to power long enough to shutdown.
So, 10 minutes max.
18:58
@Mat'sMug I have a CR rubber duck for that
@Mat'sMug I put them to use as servers.
@EBrown In fairness, if I got the money, I'd go for a long-term one. Especially since those things degrade over time so this one will keep you good for over 15 years or so.
But you could do with a smaller/cheaper one.
I'd like to get one that will last for a while.
Anyway, off to hit on the woman at the Subway shoppe, then to work.
Good luck ^^
It looks like I'm never actually going to ask her out, but oh well.
19:15
my laptop is essentially a battery-less laptop, but that sucks because the second something moves and tugs the cord in the RV my computer dies, so I save often and try to shut down on the regular
@EBrown just do it
@EBrown reminds me of that song, "Donnez-moi des roses"... the guy keeps going to the flower shop to ask the girl to give her a rose "because he's got a date and she likes them". at the end of the song the flower shop girl tells the guy she's getting married, the guy says "there never was a date, I was only coming here to see you" -- if you don't jump on the train, you might miss it.

Q: How to remove the boilerplate Promise code from ES6 and "co" code to write code without callback

joyI was trying to use the ES6 Promise with "co" module to write the async code without callback. Though actual async call is neat and clean however still I have to add wrapper method to return "Promise" object which made it little bulky. Any feedback to improve this code quality will be appreciated...

And one other thing I just noticed on the code review side, your public method is returning the cfcatch of your database call. Log your error inside your system, but don't return much more than "Uh oh." An error dump gives a whole bunch of information to people who don't need it. — Shawn 16 secs ago

@JoeWallis If you type OSU!, it will actually re-direct you exactly to that page, no questions asked.
Unless Firefox does that, I never know which one of them takes it.
Got DDG as default on FF.
I'd search for my friend and, it'd go for beatmaps, D:
So say I'd search osu! friend it'd search not for my friend but beatmaps... so I always had to go osu friend
I have no experience with searches in which the bangs are mid query.
@Mast That's pretty impressive. They can't have such a short bang for everything.
@Morwenn No, there's way too many SE networks to cover them all.
On the other hand, it does sense a lot of things.
If I ddg for regex cheatsheet, it gives me exactly what I want BEFORE the results.

Q: Seeking Advice and Criticism For this masking Code

SomeStudentSo this code was originally written in C++, but as I am trying to teach myself C# I decided that I will rewrite the code for practice.

VBA is a hack. Proof:
IOW, careful what you name things, it might come and haunt you two decades later hahaha
@Mat'sMug You needed proof on that?
Looks like a mess.
no, but seeing that Microsoft itself has struggled implementing the VBE is kind of soothing
For some values of soothing.
I'd call it disturbing.
Quick question: what does super do in Java (or, IIUC, base in C#)? Does it call the "parent" class's constructor and add it's properties/methods to the new object being created?
Heck should I know, what does the spec say?
It has something to do with a parent, but I never understood exactly what.
20:59
I don't know how I would find the spec.
I'd think it's just a qualifier to access the base members, no?
A qualifier?
[this].Foo = 42
[base].Foo = 42
[qualifier].Foo = 42

@SirPython what the mug said. Also there's the super-constructor
The super constructor?
super();
That's what I was referring to above.
Does that do the same thing as C#'s base?
in a different way, but yes, somewhat
Different in how it's written, right?
23:23
You have to write it inside the Constructor body to chain constructors
instead of in the method signature
and it works as a qualifier (just like in C#)
