Q: Enumrating devices

I was thinking about the code I've been writing for a project I've been working on, occasionally I wrote methods in a way where they verified all data they worked on before they did the operation they were supposed to do, even private fields in the class; do you guys usually do that?
Not something like "check every row in a database", more like "is value defined for the enum", etc.
@Quill thanks! damn, time flies!
@arda pro-tem mods usually start an election a couple of miles ahead of the rest of the candidates, so unless @Quill steps down, the odds are totally there ;-)

This really looks like a question that would be better suited to Code Review than Stack Overflow. Since there's nothing actually wrong with your code, and you're looking for some opinions on how to improve it, Code Review would be the place to go. You'll need to delete the question from Stack Overflow, and then post it to Code Review. Make sure not to have it in both places, because cross-posting is strongly discouraged (e.g. bad for you). — Michael Gaskill 6 secs ago

First of all, long time no see. Hope you're doing great :)
2nd I need your GIT knowledge :) I can't interpret this sentence from GitHubs help >> They were opened in a standalone repository, not a fork.
One of my colleagues is contributing to a repo in my github page, however, his name doesn't show up in the contributes list even though he does pull requests which are getting accepted and merged.
The way he is doing it, by forking from my project, doing the changes he does, pushes to his own repo (the forked one) and then issues Pull Requests.
A bit different to how I do it, but I don't know how would you do it according to github help page saying standalone repo, not forked :(
04:55
@Mehrad Likewise :D

@Quill OH you're right. I have never actually read that
what does that mean. why. how :D
@Mehrad No, I'm serious, I'm not a Git pro at all
actually wait, "merge commits" are the actual commits made when you merge not the commits that you are merging. that's weird
I'm just more careful now, after I messed up one repository pretty big time
@Phrancis hahah.. who hasn't. Git = stress when pressing a button.

Programming is an art, and it takes a LONG time to train somebody to be one :D
Monopoly is coming, guys.
Been busy with a lady friend thing.
She's awesome and such.
So I haven't had the usual time I do.
The "Creates class object" comment is a bit redundant, since that's what a constructor does
@EBrown We get it :)
@Phrancis If you ask me the whole thing is redundant but can't break people's heart by putting a big cross over the whole thing as a feedback and say start again :D
@Mehrad Sure you can.
Just be polite about it.

  class Foo {
      /* Creates a Foo class object */
      public Foo() {

@Phrancis That's not technically what a constructor does.
hahaha...
"How are you mate. Good job on that thing you did".
"Thanks. I am proud of it"
"Start over again buddy. This time don't do EVERYTHING you did there" :D
@EBrown Well, in practical terms, it pretty much is, no?
@Phrancis Technically speaking, a constructor is supposed to simply fill an instance of a class that is already created with values.
I really don't see how that's different from a practical standpoint...
05:17
The constructor doesn't create the class.
The class is created by the time the constructor is called.
As much as I am enjoying this conversation guys, I probably need to get back to work. I have a big cross to draw on somebody's project. :)
@Mehrad Okay, see you buddy
@EBrown nobody said it does. I guess @Phrancis forgot the apostrophe after the class. It should've been class' object
@Phrancis I'll try to hang around a bit more and contribute for a change. :) been busy lately.
@Mehrad I've been busy too. This Monopoly entry to the CR community challenge is going to be my first major contribution in months.
@EBrown life gets on the way of life sometimes :)
05:24
@EBrown Monopoly, to be fair, is pretty significant in comparison to other challenges. If I can help, let me know.
@Phrancis You can go to work for me to give me more time to work on it. :P
Uh, no
I'll let you keep my paycheck. ;)
Still a pretty damned long drive
Yeah, ~6 hours.

@Pimgd You and me both.
The naive implementation of fibonacci recursively has running time 2^n right?
Pokemon Go is already more popular than Tinder, another app where you swipe to find monsters in your area.
2
the naive implementation is O(n)
for recurvisely, it's O(wtf)
@Quill I've caught more Pokémon than I have had matches.
@Zak YOU FKIN WOT
def fibRec(n):
    if n < 2:
        return n
    else:
        return fibRec(n-1) + fibRec(n-2)
09:44
why would you recursively do fibonacci
@Pimgd To prove a point. Dont do it.
2
Okay
What you have is not fibo
It doesn't print.
There is no output, so what you're doing there is "get me the nth number of fibo"
Really do not see the problem here. I just stated the algorithm. Ofcourse I call the function
09:47
because if you add for i in range 1 to 10, print fibRec(i)
or whatever-python-code
then it is total ass
that's why I say the naive recursive implementation is O(wtf)
Right. So the one I posted should be 2^n.
it's gonna take really long, and if you think you've got it, the real naive implementation will take even longer
Then the sum of that is O(wtf).
Yeah, I guess
wait no?
@Zak it is so much faster with the UK app over the NZ one..!
09:51
2 goes in, but it does only 3 calls
3 goes in, and it calcs 2 (3 calls) and 1 (1 call)
4 goes in, and it calcs 3 (5 calls) and 2 (3 calls)
2 = 3, 3 = 5, 4 = 9
5 would be 9 + 5 + 1 = 15
I don't know if it really follows 2^n
@Pimgd Yeah
fibRec(33) makes 11405773 function calls
after that tho, 25 (15+9+1), 41 (25 + 15 + 1), 67 (41+25+1)
fibRec(35) makes 29860703 function calls
@N3buchadnezzar Use @lru_cache(None) and it'll take a lot less
I have a implementation running in logarithmic time :p Using the lucas sequences
09:56
2^33 is 8589934592 (8e9-ish) says google
So fibRec(n) < O(2^n) then. Should be O(a^n) for some a fo-shure.
"11405773" is 1.1e7
which is about 2^23.5
phi^n seems about right. Where phi is the golden ratio 1.6180339... = (1 + sqrt(5) )/ 2
well, whatever

what do you mean stop investing in CR?
Meh. The point about variable names for this question is just an indicator of the root problem
It's a good indicator but not the reason per se
@Malachi I think I've only answered a handful of questions on CR this year and I've stopped with the chatroom for the biggest part
It's all about rules these days
Closing rules I don't agree with and chat messages moved daily
I agree with jeroen on the chat point
Soo... more noise and less message moving?
meh, there's only gonna be a noise problem if the regulars don't say "hey, shut it" when site business arrives

> Flemish (Belgium) buses will announce next stop in 2022 due to IT issue
Belgium... really?
Which doesn't happen properly. Again. I'd have to dig just a bit, but I bet I can find this happening within this week
moving all "non site business" related conversations to the CR Bin is over the top
And it's not happening
Buses have support for announcing the next stop since 2007, despite that the software won't be ready until 2022
The messages don't get moved to the bin, they get moved to the Nth Monitor
@Malachi Nth Monitor is the CR Bin

I'm not going to move my talking to that shitty second room which acts as trashcan
I added Xkcd and Commitstrip to that room....

@Quill I disagree that it's a trashcan. We get some pretty lively discussions in there when people want to.
Ermph. If you are bent on seeing it that way there's not much to say @Quill
@Zak we would previously have them here
If we had wave after wave of "site business" all day, I wouldn't have a problem with Nth Monitor, but we don't
for most of the day, I see a wall of just duga and captain, with a few "monkings" here and there

Are you saying that ROs should only worry about moving messages there if others ask them to?
Moving messages should only need to happen when the topics have dedicated rooms like Rubberduck or Cardshifter
or they're trash for the trashcan

@Quill As much as I would like to have them in here, I appreciate the point that this is the site's primary chat room. And as such, there are certain areas/topics/levels of discussion which should be done elsewhere.

And they would interfere with site business. Also they'd result in Transcript spanning pages which makes it hard to cathch up on what happens in here
Because (let's be honest) not everybody who's a regular and interested in site-business is interested in all the "sideconversations"
Not everyone who's a chat regular is interested in solely site business
There is plenty of non-site and even non-code business in here
11:58
when someone brings up Miley Cyrus and what outfit she is wearing at the MTV awards, and there is no site business, does it still belong in here?
Usually stuff that is moved is conversations that seem like they may keep going on for a while, on topics that don't necessarily interest everyone

Q: What do you think about this implementation of 2 floats comparison functor?

NarekWhat do you think about this implementation of 2 floats comparison functor considering how tolerance is introduced? class Less { private: float m_tolerance; public: Less(const float tolerance) : m_tolerance(tolerance) { } bool operator()(const float f1, const floa...

@Quill I agree that Captain and Duga are taking overhand though, yes
that's part of a chatroom, not everything is always going interest everyone in the room
