Matthew FarabaughThe task: Write a method that takes in a number and returns true if it is a power of 2. Otherwise, return false.

@Kaz Wow.
 
Spending my entire morning refactoring code I coupled badly. FML
 
11:00 AM
At least it was your own code
 
Yeah, but the only reason I actually need to refactor it is because it's all HttpClient and Process stuff to interact with Git/Github because no libraries exist for .NET core for those things @Skiwi
 
Moving from Windows specific to cross-platform?
 
No, the project was cross-platform from the outset

11:02 AM
At the same time it makes sense. Original set up was GithubClient.CloneAsync which called GitRepository.CloneAsync (static method). I actually wrote a comment saying "I don't like this, this is coupling"
 
Thanks for information @Vogel612 , i will not ask again.....
 
Kaz
@user5348fh8y5 And hey, once you've got your code working, feel free to make a new question about it over here.
 
Now I've refactored it so that GithubClient has a constructor that takes IGithubProcess, which has the CloneAsync method on it as well as other methods like getting recent authorship information (which was just a private method inside of GitRepository before). I wrote really bad code when I wasn't using tests.
@Kaz +1.
 
@Kaz i am not sure how many years it need to get solution for that, if i get , surely i will do , thanks......
 
@DanPantry What are you making? :o
 
11:04 AM
Keep at it and it'll only take a few days to fix that particular problem, I'm sure. @user5348fh8y5
@skiwi I can't tell you the specifics of the project, but I can tell you that it involves cloning github repositories.
 
I kind of figured that out :P
 
Which means a soup of Process.Start() and HttpClient.SendAsync calls :P
 
Is this for your work at Riot, or personal?
 
Riot, otherwise I'd tell you more
 
Ah okay

@bluefeet that's great, but #PeopleDontRead. The idea is to pop a red in-your-face warning that you can't miss, e.g. when your question title says "Why isn't this code working?" it's 100% guaranteed your question is off-topic. Having yet another page to link to after we've closed their question isn't going to help, if they can post such a question without the system telling them "WAIT! Your question is likely OFF-TOPIC!", then it's too late already. 60% of CR's closures involve broken code, if pointing them to [help/on-topic] isn't enough, I don't see how [ask] is going to change it. — Meta's Mug 2 days ago

@Malachi, I'm not a newbie here :)
 
@Yano I don't doubt that. However proper architecture is not something that you can just ask from someone. If you had an existing solution, you could go to programming.SE or codereview and ask about it, but coming to SO with "Hey, could you guys give me an architecture that uses best practices" is both too broad and primarily opinion based, as the current close votes show. — Kayaman 13 secs ago
 
hey, @Hosch250
 
Hi.
 
@Malachi Nice answer!
 
@Eric: I don't know. I'm answering at the pure python level (note: this belongs more to codereview if you want my opinion, that's really between both sites). — Jean-François Fabre 44 secs ago

Q: Too Many Staff Meetings

MalachiI recently got in really deep on a question to find the overlapping meetings and I rewrote a bit of the code and added some things to the code, and I would just like a general review of my code and what I could do to make it even better, maybe performance wise or whatever. Here is my LINQPad 5 C...

 
@Phrancis thank you
@Olzhas I apologize, I hadn't seen you in here before. I used to be in here all the time
 
@Malachi, np :) when I was here you were always idle, may be that's the reason you didn't notice me much

do anyone know how to exit the application from terminal ubuntu? I couldn't find anything on the web
 
4:56 PM
ctrl + c
 
axe -> terminal
 
@Mat'sMug, tried that one ;) worked perfectly
 
lol
 
@Vogel612, thanks
installed eclipse since got no other options. It was downloading Java longer than any other part
 
I didn't think the JDK was that big of a download...
 
5:00 PM
well the irony here is that I'll be writing C/C++ code, so it sounds rather ridiculous that I need Java ...
 
well you shouldn't be using eclipse then ...
eclipse is a java program ...
 
^
 
You can write C/C++ in VS, but that is a huge download too.
 
VS won't work on Ubuntu
 
NetBeans is just as bad.
 
5:03 PM
And yeah, it's huge
 
Oh, right.
 
@Phrancis, I believe I can use VS code, the code editor part of it. I will try to make it work with clang
 
Is clang a compiler?
 
@Phrancis, yep
 
Maybe one day I'll try C++; C though just seems... very clunky
 
5:06 PM
indeed
 
well ... it's a different level of abstraction ...
 
@Vogel612, and a lot more power. Overwhelming amount of power
 
Well, TTGTW
 
5:22 PM
@Olzhas Ctrl + C like Vogel said, it's technically SIGINT but the result is a SIGTERM, exactly what you want.
 
@Mast, not really far from axe->terminal for the process
 
Nope.

#ProTip If your address form is going to tell me that the following is not a valid address "10 Downing Street" then bloody tell me how it's invalid.
Also, I suspect the form in question is broken anyway.
 
@Phrancis VS Code will run on Ubuntu
 
@Kaz Perhaps the prime minister wrote the validation form and knows you don't live there.?
 
Kaz
@xDaevax I used my actual address, but I'm not posting that here ^^
 
Xamarin is a paid alternative for Visual Studio on Ubuntu. I can't remember what the other one is that is free
 
Mono?
 
5:39 PM
lol
@xDaevax yes that is the one
not as nice as the new community edition of VS though. at least last time I tried it
 
VS Code is pretty on point
Atom-like, but somehow more streamlined
 
Kaz
Turns out the form was written by americans
 
lol
 
stupid Americans
 
yeah, stupid us...
 
Kaz
5:43 PM
I'm in the UK. My post code is not a 5 digit number, no matter what your form validation thinks.

> there is little point in installing VS on Linux since the applications generated by VS since VS cannot generate executables that run directly on Linux
 
Pffft... Globalization
 
what kind of answer is that?
VS Code for Linux. no Community and from the thread I am reading there is no possibility that they will ever release community for linux
 
@Malachi Until they do
 
5:44 PM
@Kaz I had the same problem at Walmart when I worked in the Auto area, our handheld for entering customers wouldn't accept Canadian addresses, because they use a 6 character zip code which is letters and numbers.
 
When we build the wall to the north, handling Canadian zip codes won't be a problem :x
 
so y'all going to call us wildlings then?
 
we won't see you any more, so clearly, you won't exist
no need for names :P

Is getting homework reviewed before turning it in cheating?

5:50 PM
@Mat'sMug the night is coming?
@xDaevax if you learn nothing, then I would say yes
 
After all, I try to get my code reviewed before installing to production
 
@xDaevax Looks like a Meta question.
 
Kaz
@xDaevax IMO, no. But whether or not something is considered cheating is up to your professor/university so you should ask them.
 
Or a question for Academia with the tag.
2
 
@xDaevax since CR is intended for review of already-working code, I would say no
but asking SO to fix it definitely would be
 
5:53 PM
Agreed
 
@t3chb0t someone showed me that trick yesterday of running code inside LINQPad, they love LINQPad here! and I am starting to like it a lot as well
 
If I wanted to do a lightning talk or open space for a code review topic at an upcoming developer conference, what do you think would be most interesting to go over? How to ask a question, give an answer, review etiquette, etc...?
 
does this make sense?
that query says grab the meetings that start at the same time as this meeting or any meeting in the future and do not grab this current meeting and do not grab meetings that we already checked I can see where you are confused now. I put 2 meetings in there that start at the same time, if there are multiple meetings that start at the same time it keeps the algorithm from checking the 2 meetings against each other in reverse. — Malachi 1 min ago
 
LinqPad is fantastic! I actually paid for it!
 
I haven't paid for it yet, I think I would ask the company (I work for) if they had any licenses before I tried to pay for it...lol
 
5:59 PM
Yeah, I got tired of waiting for companies to approve it (and it's very cheap).

@CaptainObvious very borderline
 
@Mat'sMug not night, winter, winter is coming
 
aye, winter is coming. in April of next year.
 
@Mat'sMug is that when they put the new POTUS into office?

oh

is it a paid gig?
 
If past experience is any indication of future performance
 
@Mat'sMug Yes, but it looks like it would have to violate their terms, so I won't be able to do it freely.
It says it's a 4x10 shift, 11 PM to 10 AM, Thursday night through Monday morning.
 
@Malachi Antarctica has a summer too.
 
6:13 PM
@Hosch250 but it would be colder than most people's winter, right?
 
Not necessarily.
 
Ohio has by far and away the coldest winters. ;)
 
At the pole, yes. Not necessarily along the coast.
 
@xDaevax No.
 
@Jamal extra pay for weekend and night?
 
6:14 PM
@xDaevax you have never been to North Dakota, have you?
 
I've heard the Dakota winters are the worst.
And Nebraska.
 
Michigan's are much worse, I can only imagine what Canada's are.
 
northern Minnesota
 
I've heard a lot of Canada's aren't half bad because of the great lakes.
 
Montana, Wyoming, South and North Dakota

@Kaz Validating addresses across country lines is almost as fruitless as attempting to validate email addresses with regex :)

@Phrancis For most things, sure. But something like a postcode is pretty rigidly defined in the first place. It's not hard.
