Pretty much the same idea behind fixed-width arrays on embedded systems.

Zak

I find it amusing that SciFi & Fantasy and Movies & TV both refer to each other as "The Other Site"

Mast

Ah yes, rivalry between SE sites.

Zak

@Mast As I understand it, this is a huge reasons why Arrays (in general) are so much faster. Yes, they're being read straight from memory, but more so, an array is laid out in fixed intervals. So you know instantly where an element is stored in memory simply by knowing which indexes you're trying to access.

Q: Best practices for being a StackOverflow jerk?

I'm new to StackOverflow and have been told by my colleagues that the users of this site are "mean" and "jerks", especially to new users. Since I would like to properly integrate myself into this community, what are some good practices to correctly be a jerk on StackOverflow?

Mast

Yup, if you want the 24th element, you know each element is 8 big and the first element is at location X, it's easy to see where the start and end of your target element is.

@Phrancis Is this why anything over 8k characters gets a pointer in SQL? Because it's too big for a memory block.

IMO, you're better off fixing the current thing than starting a new mess.

Hello @Sherlock9

syb0rg

@Mast Yes, but it's like patching a ship with a bunch of holes. Only with duct tape. While on the water.

At what point do you dock the ship and just start building a new one?

Mast

I've seen ships made out of duct-tape float through heavy weather.

Make it work first, make it pretty later.

syb0rg

@Sherlock9 Hello

Mast

There's no holes in your ship. You just need an experienced, patient captain or it won't go anywhere.

The ship itself is good.

Now make it easier to handle.

Hosch250

@Mat'sMug I emailed you the evaluation report.

@Mast I'm just worried that the "making it work for now" will be left as a permanent solution later

Phrancis

@Sherlock9 That sounds pretty nifty, I would definitively listen to it

syb0rg

19:23

@Sherlock9 Interesting...

Mast

@Sherlock9 What are the topics going to be?

mınxomaτ

> The topics must all be related to developing, implementing or organizing code or coding-related projects. These topics can be questions or statements (even quotes) that are discussed, but can also include "tales" (akin to TDWTF or CFH).

Mast

@syb0rg I realize that. But 'making it work for now' is better than 'perhaps making it work in the far future'.

You're almost done with the base. Once it works as intended, it's going to be much easier to debug the workings and the installation.

@mınxomaτ Broad.

Sherlock9

That's what we're still deciding. There's also the matter of who might be on. If any of you can help by contributing topics or joining in, that would be great

syb0rg

@Mast The Windows build is still very much in need of work, seen by you trying to build it just today

Mast

19:27

@syb0rg You had it working correctly on Mac though, right?

syb0rg

@Mast Yup

mınxomaτ

@Sherlock9 The more specific topics are defined by the pool of people left after eliminating unqualified "applicants" (i.e. people who'd like to join).

Mast

And the reason it doesn't work on Windows is because of linking problems and/or environment variables/registry.

The core is sound.

Phrancis

Can someone with enough SO rep take a screenshot of Best practices for being a StackOverflow jerk?

Mast

On top of that, who's to say you're not going to encounter the same problems with other cores?

Sherlock9

19:28

I figured we'd look for people who might have interesting coding projects, stories, or other paraphernalia to talk about, and go from there

syb0rg

Perhaps it's my instructions that need improving, rather than code for the Windows side of things

Phrancis

The idea that new code is better than old is patently absurd. Old code has been used. It has been tested. Lots of bugs have been found, and they've been fixed. There's nothing wrong with it. It doesn't acquire bugs just by sitting around on your hard drive.

Bernard Meurer

@Pimgd Long time no see! Did you see the link? Though of you when I saw that

Pimgd

Oh because chess

I'm currently raging at overuse of functional-style code in Java =/

muddyfish

poor you

Bernard Meurer

@Pimgd SCALA

Pimgd

I mean, it's fun and all, a function that has a single return and a one liner

but when your one liner is ... really long...

return c.getStance().mobile(getSelf()) && getSelf().canAct() && getSelf().has(Item.Gloves)
                || getSelf().hasHands() && getSelf().body.getRandomHands().moddedPartCountsAs(getSelf(), HandsPart.claws)
                                && getSelf().getStamina().get() >= 10 && !c.getStance().prone(getSelf());

Bernard Meurer

Mother of god

Dan Pantry

that's not really a problem with functional style

Ethan Bierlein

@Pimgd good grief

Dan Pantry

that's a problem with stupid people

hooray i am the starwall

Pimgd

there's a bug in it

Dan Pantry

is the bug "completely unreadable"?

Pimgd

no

it's ||

Dan Pantry

Code being completely unreadable should be treated as code being bugged

muddyfish

21:49

I LOVE completely unreadable code

Dan Pantry

@muddyfish go back to codegolf :(

Pimgd

the first checks are if you can actually take an action

muddyfish

I even wrote my own language to help me build it :O

Pimgd

and half way through we check for a special case that uses body parts instead of items

... bypassing the whole "can you act"
