What's a good generic term for an IEnumerable of chars? It's a parameter for a helper method, so it has no broader meaning. A single char is c.

EBrown

@MichaelBrandonMorris IEnumerable<char>?

enderland

@CaptainObvious that was fast removal

@CaptainObvious this seems confusing

Michael Brandon Morris

@EBrown Yes, the parameter type is IEnumerable<char>

EBrown

6:23 PM

Probably chars or characters.

Michael Brandon Morris

Hits head on desk

Duga

I think it's more the speculative nature than the question itself. It might be better in codereview.stackexchange.com. It's a very, very good question. As soon as you realized that you don't want your class talking to AppSettings directly you were onto something big. When you get the answer to that you'll find that it applies much more broadly. For me personally, dependency injection (I use Windsor) changed everything. Not because DI alone is so great but because it became a catalyst that changed the way I wrote code. It facilitates other best practices like unit testing. — Scott Hannen 40 secs ago

EBrown

@MichaelBrandonMorris Naming things is hard.

Michael Brandon Morris

@EBrown Ok, yeah, that was simple.

syb0rg

@enderland The code or the question?

enderland

6:24 PM

@syb0rg the "what are you trying to do and why" side of it

syb0rg

@enderland Wanna have a go at leaving a comment for the OP?

Mast

@syb0rg Gist updated with -err. -out is empty.

enderland

I also feel pretty crappy right now and my head is sort of spinning. not sure if causation or correlation :)

EBrown

@enderland Dizzification.

enderland

dizzfuzz. kind of like fizzbuzz, but... doing it while your head is spinning

Michael Brandon Morris

6:26 PM

Does this make sense

public static bool Equals(this char c, IEnumerable<char> characters)
{
return characters.Any(c.Equals);
}

EBrown

Bad name.

A char is never equal to an IEnumerable<char>.

syb0rg

@Mast What is build/library-build/src/LibSndFile-stamp/LibSndFile-download-Release?

Michael Brandon Morris

@EBrown EqualsAny?

EBrown

That's an acceptable name.

Also, to format a code block, indent every line by four spaces.

Michael Brandon Morris

@EBrown EqualsAnyOf?

EBrown

6:27 PM

@MichaelBrandonMorris What meaning does Of convey?

Hint: the answer is none. ;)

Just use EqualsAny, that will be fine.

Not sure if this constitutes an answer:

A: How do I write my multithreading code correctly so that it is faster than a single thread?

How did you time your program? I ran a modified version of your program (because you failed to give the code for "mex.h" so I rewrote the parts that needed it). When I ran your program with 1, 2, and 4 threads, I got the following results: 1 thread = 9.38 sec 2 threads = 4.93 sec 4 threads = ...

enderland

CharInList or something

EBrown

@enderland That doesn't make sense for an extension method.

enderland

I also feel pretty crappy right now and my head is sort of spinning. not sure if causation or correlation :)

EBrown

var chars = SomeMethodThatReturnsIEnumerableOfChar();
char c = 'A';

if (c.EqualsAny(chars))
{
    // Do something
}

That's how you're using it, correct @MichaelBrandonMorris?

Michael Brandon Morris

6:30 PM

@EBrown Yeah, that's correct

EBrown

Then EqualsAny is a fine name.

Mast

@syb0rg Updated.

EBrown

But why are you going to such an extreme, @MichaelBrandonMorris?

syb0rg

Odd...

Michael Brandon Morris

@EBrown I already have a primitive extensions library. I was just adding that in there because I found use for it in a project.

syb0rg

6:33 PM

@Mast You created a build folder and went in there to run cmake .., right?

Mast

@syb0rg Of-course.

Why?

EBrown

Why not just us the IEnumerable<T>.Contains(T) method?

Mast

CMake runs. Babbles something about configuration. Make fails.

syb0rg

@Mast But configures without warnings or errors, right?

Mast

-- No build type selected, default to Release
-- Could NOT find sphinxbase (missing:  SPHINXBASE_LIBRARY SPHINXBASE_INCLUDE_DIR)
-- Could NOT find pocketsphinx (missing:  POCKETSPHINX_LIBRARY POCKETSPHINX_INCLUDE_DIR)
-- Could NOT find LibSndFile (missing:  LIBSNDFILE_LIBRARY LIBSNDFILE_INCLUDE_DIR)
-- Any missing dependencies will be downloaded upon running "make"
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done

syb0rg

6:35 PM

Perfect, that's what it should do

Mast

That's what I thought.

Finds what's missing and tells make how to fix it.

Except, make doesn't fix it.

syb0rg

@Mast Wanna clean everything out of the build folder and run it again?

Sometimes it just fails the build for me on Windows

Mast

-- The C compiler identification is GNU 5.3.1
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 5.3.1
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc -- works

syb0rg

And then I do nothing but just start up the build again and it works just fine

Mast

That's fresh.

syb0rg

6:37 PM

I wonder if me setting the build type to "Release" automatically somehow screwed with it... it shouldn't?

CMake output looks good

Michael Brandon Morris

@EBrown Good point.

EBrown

@MichaelBrandonMorris Yours may make sense in a given context, but IEnumerable<T>.Contains(T) is a more generic and reusable version.

You're over-LINQing it.

Mast

@syb0rg Where does LibSndFile download from?

Perhaps the server is just FUBAR today.

syb0rg

@Mast github.com/syb0rg/Khronos/blob/master/cmake/…

That should've been updated to the github repo tho... I thought I already did that

@EBrown But there's no such thing! xD

syb0rg

@Legato Not mine, but someone I know: petervaro.com

@syb0rg Awesome, very fitting.

@syb0rg neat!

@Legato Not necessarily updated, but here's tritium's website: syb0rg.github.io/tritium.io

@janos has a fancy site as well.

syb0rg

6:56 PM

@Mast Right now I'm having some issues running cmake .. since it's such an old Ubuntu OS

I'm working on fixing them, then hopefully I can replicate the issue you're having

Mast

8 is old, I'm not sure why you're running that.

Anything older than 12 shouldn't be in use anymore.

syb0rg

@Mast I'm not, I temporarily put it on a build machine at my job

And I can't really upgrade it or anything :(

mine is to only ever use this when I need to pass this around, e.g. in a builder pattern. I never use it as a qualifier, proper unambiguous naming makes the this qualifier redundant.

N3buchadnezzar

Is the tag reinventing-the-wheel just used for kicks and laughs?

Phrancis

@N3buchadnezzar Nope it's legit

Mat's Mug

7:36 PM

not really. it tells people "look, I know I could use a library for this, but I'm making my own because I'M MAD LEAVE ME ALONE"

Phrancis

For when you decide to roll your own instead of using pre-built stuff

N3buchadnezzar

Ah, so it is used for things that have a builtin. Not just overly simple questions.

Phrancis

Correct

N3buchadnezzar

I was wondering if the 100000000000000000000 FizzBuzz question should be tagged. But now I know otherwise.

Michael Brandon Morris

7:39 PM

@Mat'sMug Or rather, I had a homework assignment to implement something that someone else did so I can understand it better.

N3buchadnezzar

@MichaelBrandonMorris Or rather, I had a homework assignment to implement something that someone else already did so I came here so you guyz can GIVE ME TEH CODEZ

Michael Brandon Morris

@N3buchadnezzar It's CR, not SO. I was being serious, as I have done what I mentioned before.

Mat's Mug

@MichaelBrandonMorris you'd be surprised

Phrancis

@MichaelBrandonMorris That actually sounds like a really good exercise

N3buchadnezzar

@MichaelBrandonMorris I have done that as well. However not everyone are like us. looks around suspiciously

Phrancis

7:42 PM

I do think by this point CR has a large enough collection of Q&A that you can probably find really good (and really bad) solutions to most programming problems

Michael Brandon Morris

@Phrancis It is for the first time around. By the time you implement a list in multiple C-style languages though, it gets boring.

N3buchadnezzar

I have used CR to check for PE solutions a few times (after I already have solved it).

Really helpful

Phrancis

@MichaelBrandonMorris I suppose. We have so many implementations of LinkedList on here it's dizzying

N3buchadnezzar

Or rather it made me addicted to this site, so my productivity has fallen dramatically...

Phrancis

Oh and php-mysql

N3buchadnezzar

7:44 PM

Also php-oop

Michael Brandon Morris

@Phrancis Right. I was referring to the exercise, not necessarily posting on here.

syb0rg

Well, my work's Linux build machine is a bust

Too old

Phrancis

You would think by now that the PHP people who know how to do a database query, but surprisingly, we get those practically every day

Michael Brandon Morris

But if a student does post their own implementation of something, it shows that they put forth effort to learn it and write their own code, not copy someone else.

Phrancis

I think LinkedList are cool, I wish I got to use them more often

N3buchadnezzar

7:46 PM

@syb0rg too old

syb0rg

@Phrancis I don't think they're practical when optimizing applications tho

Michael Brandon Morris

@Phrancis I never could find a good use case for them where something else wasn't better.

syb0rg

They have a lot of complexity stuff tied with them

Michael Brandon Morris

If you want a FIFO ordering, then a queue works.

Circular FIFO? Push after you pop.

Phrancis

@MichaelBrandonMorris I suppose lists where you need to add or remove stuff a lot, I don't think that use case is so common though

syb0rg

7:47 PM

However that could be the few years of having LinkedLists shoved down my throat by my uni speaking

Michael Brandon Morris

@Phrancis Nevermind, that did not make sense.

Phrancis

Ok, I guess LinkedList are cool in theory but not necessarily in practice

For some reason the build fails. Is it possible this version of LibSndFile is slightly different from the other one?

Take a look at this answer about sql injection: stackoverflow.com/a/60496/3595565. Then rework your code and post it under codereview as Jamie pointed out — Philipp 1 min ago

@Mast Why would that matter?

@Pimgd When did you get s many points this week?

Mast

It shouldn't, I guess.

Anyway, I'm off to bed. If you got any more things you want to try, you know where to find me. If anything pops up I can take another shot at it tomorrow morning before I leave for a meeting.

@Mast 'night!

syb0rg

@Mast I'll do some more work on it, I'll probably have you download a clean slate tomorrow

Cya!

I'm crying

this code sucks

so much repeated code

@arda copy-pasta code huh?

arda

@Phrancis the project is based on two pages, which do similar jobs and communicate in very hackish methods.

I'm trying to remove the repeated parts and improve the communication between the pages

Might end up combining the two pages

Phrancis

What language(s)?

arda

C#

What's that? The web can have nice features.... and be performant....Well how about that

I was afraid you were going to say PHP :)

arda

@Phrancis oh I have some PHP work after this

I'm just preparing myself for the worst by going through bad code, so I won't be as mad at PHP.

Phrancis

lol ok

Is there something inherently wrong with using var in C# instead of an actual explicit type?

(e.g. can it lead to unexpected/undefined behavior, etc.?)

Vogel612

nope.

why would there be anything wrong with it?

Phrancis

I'm not sure, that's why I'm asking :D

Ah, I was worried about changing the type of a var after it is declared, but I see the compiler doesn't allow it, good

Mat's Mug

@Phrancis var is not dynamic. var is statically typed.

Phrancis

Good stuff, I thought it was like JavaScript's var at first which is why I guess I was concerned about it

Mat's Mug

it simply makes the code less ~~Javaesque~~ annoyingly redundant. e.g. var foo = new Something(); instead of Something foo = new Something();

if you hover the var keyword VS will tell you its type

Phrancis

9:52 PM

So var can be used for basically any type/object?

yes

Nice, good to know

well, not for fields

monking

var is type inference

Quill

9:54 PM

JS var is similar to C# var, in that they both have types, but JS obviously doesn't have type specific params

I can't remember the BNF for var either ;-;

Phrancis

BNF?

Mat's Mug

JS var is more like Dim foo [As Variant] in VBA

or just Dim foo in VBScript

Quill

Backus–Naur Form

In computer science, BNF (Backus Normal Form or Backus–Naur Form) is one of the two main notation techniques for context-free grammars, often used to describe the syntax of languages used in computing, such as computer programming languages, document formats, instruction sets and communication protocols; the other main technique for writing context-free grammars is the van Wijngaarden form. They are applied wherever exact descriptions of languages are needed: for instance, in official language specifications, in manuals, and in textbooks on programming language theory. Many extensions and variants...

@Quill would EBNF work?

Phrancis

9:59 PM

Hm, BNF is very meta

Mat's Mug

actually, var probably wouldn't even be explicitly defined in a parser grammar, since it fills the type spot in a declaration.
