@N3buchadnezzar I usually run 100 or 1000, but I can imagine that's not an option in this case.

Q: Cleanest way to implement a Thread Producer-Consumer Pattern

Mast

1:02 AM

Did you overengineer it by chance?

Phrancis

It's useful to the extent I can get the lowest and highest number, but otherwise I don't actually use it for anything

N3buchadnezzar

Is the standard approach.

Mast

@N3buchadnezzar Looks like the short version of what I did here.

Phrancis

Maybe I can just make variables instead for the lowest and highest and call it a day

N3buchadnezzar

@Mast Well it is psudocode :p

Mast

1:04 AM

I don't say it's a bad thing to over-engineer. Not at all. But if you aim to solve a lot of those PE challenges, that will get old very fast.

Phrancis

I can see that

Whenever I write something useful/utilitarian, I extract it to a namespace for utilities so hopefully that will save time on later challenges

N3buchadnezzar

@Mast How long do your code to find the product of two 5 digit numbers?

Here is my naive implementation. However I do have a faster version :p

Mast

@N3buchadnezzar What problem number is that?

For some reason my attempt at PE 6 keeps giving -14. That can't be good...

N3buchadnezzar

@Mast It is the same as PE4 just with the product of two 4 digit numbers instead of 3 digit numbers

Or 5 if you want to be fancy

@Mast About 275 times slower than mine though :p

Phrancis

If I'm not mistaken, don't C# and Python both compile to C++ thing?

Whatever the intermediate language for C++ is

C++ has no intermediate language. Unless you count op-codes.

Python goes to C, but only if you put it in a library IIRC.

It doesn't look very C#-ish I think.

I don't know a thing about C# though, so don't mind me.

@N3buchadnezzar Yea, well, screw that.

    '''The sum of the first natural numbers are
       S[1](n) = 1 + 2 + 3 ... n = n*(n+1)/2
       The sum of the first square numbers are
       S[2](n) = 1^2 + 2^3 + ... n^2 = n*(n+1)*(2*n+1)/6
       By computing the difference of these two numbers one gets
       S[1](n)^2 - S[2](n) = n*(n-1)*(3*n+2)*(n+1)/12'''
    return n*(n-1)*(3*n+2)*(n+1)/12

I fixed that with heavy commenting :p

Phrancis

Looking through your Python PE solutions, my approach is to try and come up with a general solution, rather than one specific to the metrics of that challenge

Those files names in Rosalind/Ruby are pretty bad, did you have a choice in them?

At least, when I've refactored the bunch. Some of the reviewers couldn't appreciate it so far IIUC.

What is your question exactly? Are you looking for a code review? — Jeroen 51 secs ago

Zak

Monking @all

Stewie Griffin

Morning...

Question:
I'm fluent in Matlab, but have some basic knowledge in other languages. Is it OK to review code in languages where I have limited experience, or is this frowned upon? The reason I'm asking is because it _might_ be that there are better ways to do it than what I propose. See for instance [this one](http://codereview.stackexchange.com/q/133360/109032).

Zak

@StewieGriffin Many programming skills/concepts are universal (see: naming). If you think your answer can improve, in any way, on the OP's code, go for it.

CR answers don't have to be the best, just better than what the OP currently has.

Stewie Griffin

@Zak =)

Zak

@StewieGriffin I was reviewing VBA code long before I was any good at it ^^

Stewie Griffin

8:15 AM

@Zak Problems can arise once I/others suggest things that are against common practice. For instance, if someone started to advise people to use eval in Matlab I would call that a bad review (in 99% of the cases), even if it solves a problem seemingly more elegantly than what OP had. (I just proposed using eval in Python).

But I haven't found any sources that advise against it, yet... =)

@Zak and I started answering Matlab questions on SO before I was any good at it :)

Zak

@StewieGriffin If the community feels your answer is bad, they'll downvote and/or comment on it.

Dan Pantry

@StewieGriffin reviewing languages that you are familiar with, but don't know very well, is a great way to learn them

it's not frowned upon, and yes, as @Zak said, if you do give out some misinformation the community will correct it

just be sure to take any criticism in stride

Zak

Like I said, so long as your answer is better than the OP's (even if that means it's merely less-terrible) it's worth doing.

After reading a bit about CSS3-text-shadows and seeing a few advanced examples I had the idea for a "neon light"-banner. Next idea was to animate it. Finally it has become a mixture between a Sass-mixins and a bit of JavaScript. One more thing I should mention: It's a fun-thing. I'm not intend...

@DanPantry I keep writing nice modules that I wouldn't mind putting on npm, but someone's always already done it ;-;

I might have to get a job like that if the startup I'm working for goes bellyup

Dan Pantry

@Quill What's the likelihood of that so far?

Quill

I don't know, we're majorly behind release schedules and the product is a pretty shitty angular app. The startup is a inhouse project of another (established) company with an even worse codebase.

Dan Pantry

never hurts to have a polished resume

@Quill Sounds like a cool on-the-side opportunity

Quill

Hmmm, I don't have a beach house though...

Vogel612

@Quill why does no java company have openings like that?

Dan Pantry

@Vogel612 how many java libraries do you know hold most of their Q/A through SO?

Vogel612

itextpdf for one

and that's huge.

lots of Apache POI runs on SO, too

Broken Code, but could be salvaged if OP agrees to limit their question to the version of the code which actually works:

code is broken, because excel 2013 does not implement 64 bit worksheetfunction.Transpose Code would work for 65000 rows of data

poor guy . you going to kick him back to SO then

so where are those rules again

@Zak it wouldn't matter if c were long. It's the worksheetfunction.Transpose that doesn't work. Microsoft didn't bother to reimplement in excel 2013

ah, but you saw that.

Q: A small generic array in C

The generic arrays in C I found on the net used either of these methods: the preprocesser with #define and #include (a lot of repitition and different names, but type-safe) void *-pointers (no type safety) void *-pointers and callbacks that fetch specific datatypes from the pointers (troublesom...

Seems like there's no escape from the horror of creating GUIs

I already forgot why I am using WPF with C# over JavaFX 8, but can't hurt to know more technologies

Also when designing new applications: Why to do with all the free space?

Q: Runtime error while reading from file and initializing global variables

I have a simple code that reads from input files and stores the data in a struct. I use global variables to store input data (I know it is bad practice but suppose that I must do it in this way). I have 42 input files and read them using a loop. When I do so, the program crashes. However, if I ...

I'm using an es2016 codebase that I convert to normal js before running, but it can't find my views because of pathing reasons. how do fix

I have a table of groups, and a table of members. Each member belongs to one group. This is how it looks (more groups then 2 are possible): groups id | name | year | ------------------ 1 | Nice | 1966 | 2 | Hard | 2012 | member id | name | idGroup | ---------------------- 1 | Bernd | 1 ...

@DanPantry but the jsx view won't exist after the webpack build

Dan Pantry

@Quill oh, i misunderstood the problem. not sure, then, do you have a gh repo?

Quill

I do, but it's private <_< you'll have to be hush hush about it

Dan Pantry

@Quill your secret is safe with me :) we can continue this converastion on an issue on there or something

Vogel612

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 not really. they just don't necessarily land that well

@zʏᴀʙiɴ101 I actually have no idea what it means.

Dan Pantry

11:45 AM

@N3buchadnezzar "Kappa" is a twitch meme.

Many people in this room are not necessarily Twitch users

I stream on Twitch, but I'm not all that much a fan of Twitch memes either... they don't add to the conversation

this is CR.SE, not arqade.SE or /r/gaming

N3buchadnezzar

Oh, I meant I have no idea what Kappa means. I fully understood @zʏᴀʙiɴ101 comment.

Q: What do you do when code review is just too hard?

OK so a lot of code review is fairly routine. But occasionally there are changes that broadly impact existing complex, fragile code. In this situation, the amount of time it would take to verify the safety of the changes, absence of regression, etc. is excessive. Perhaps even exceeding the time i...
