If you can better describe what your code does, include more contextual code and have a title that summarizes the purpose of the code, and the code already works as intended, then you can try Code Review. — Mat's Mug 31 secs ago

There are so many ways that this could be achieved. You will need someone to be able to look at your code. There might be an obvious vulnerability (like un-escaped sql queries) or it could be that someone knows your password because you use the same for hosting and your email, they get notified when your hosting has changed. If you still have access to your code, putting it on a share service might help (someone might take the time to review it). Or you could just hire a security expert to do a code review — Luke 10 secs ago

@Vermillion If you were told to go to code review that was incorrect. Sorry that happened. If you did post fully functional code it is understandable that you would be told to go there but the SO community needs to get out of the habit of doing that.

Can you give an exemple of what is cards_18? Note that Code Review is done for this kind of question. — Laurent LAPORTE 42 secs ago
Programming question here (maybe better to ask on SO or SE.SE)
any idea why you would use a usize here instead of u32?
Yes, it's Rust, but it's about types so anyone who knows C++ or C might be able to answer this
usize being unsigned pointer size and u32 being unsigned 32-bit int
@DanPantry Well, on 32-bit computers you can use 2^32 -1 threads and on 64-bit computers you can use 2^64 - 1 threads. /s
11:18
you're.... probably not too far off, actually.
Why didn't I think of that? FML
I don't know how 2^64 - 1 threads looks like for the scheduler though
"oh god please stop"
Better try not to think about it too much
Well, kinda hard not to. Rust doesn't let you implicitly convert between u32 and usize :P
99.999% time spent in scheduling, 0.001% in execution
11:19
So I'd like to understand the reason why
That also explains why the from operation returns Result<usize> rather than just usize. Thanks @skiwi your sarcastic answer helped

Q: What's the difference between `usize` and `u32`?

VaynThe documentation says usize is Operations and constants for pointer-sized unsigned integers. In most cases, I can replace usize with u32 and nothing happens. So I don't understand why we need two types which are so alike.

I think skiwi's right

I think you all can guess my reply...
Kill me
Path.Combine("/foo/bar", "./package.json") -> /foo/bar/./package.json
Path.Combine("/foo/bar", "/package.json") -> /package.json
Path.Combine("/foo/bar", "package.json") -> /foo/barpackage.json
this makes total sense.
Though this probably wouldn't work on windows I guess...
16:12
what about Path.Combine("foo", "bar", "package.json")?
@Mat'sMug not possible, first argument in reality is a uri
hmm wouldn't it want a backslash?
var packageJsonPath = Path.Combine(path.AbsolutePath, "./package.json");
Well, I'm on a Mac, so I'd assume not, but I'm going to try with Path.DirectorySepChar or whatever it is.
oh, Mac problems. all yours!
@DanPantry that sounds like a good idea :)
It gets better.
var packageJsonPath = Path.Combine(path.AbsolutePath, Path.DirectorySeparatorChar.ToString(), "package.json");
gives /package.json.
And of course you can't just use Path.DirectorySeparatorChar because it's a char, not a string.
I must be doing something really silly because this shouldn't be this difficult.

I'm very surprised there's no path resolution baked in frankly
also the Uri class itself is so damn cumbersome to work with
In all fairness, it's .NET Core
it's open sourced, write one
It's not present in .NET either....
.@Mat'sMug I am not that confident in my abilities to manipulate paths cross-platform
I totally get it's a hard task to solve. I am just surprised it hasn't been already
Though devils advocate, it's not present in .NET because .NET/mono utilise windows paths IIRC
Anyone able to answer my casting question earlier, BTW? Was wondering out of curiosity. TLDR, (<dest-type>) <variable> is done at compile time, <variable>.AsEnumerable() is a runtime cast, but is <variable> as <dest-type> done at compile time or runtime?
I would assume runtime but I don't know for sure
Not that it really matters as it's a micro-optimisation, but Rust makes me think about this stuff ._.
(@skiwi this is your fault)
16:27
you can't do foo as int if foo is a value type
@DanPantry IIRC as is runtime, due to the possibility that it may fail the cast.

Mjolka used to be in here a lot, too..
@Vogel612 I'm going to put something together quick, and hopefully we can demonstrate what's going on.
I guess I'm the defense lawyer for Captain Obvious.

@EBrown not enough new comers that stick around in The 2nd Monitor, that's what's going on imo
So we should fix that ...
On that note: it's similar with answerers. Sure there's quite some new answerers lately, but none of them are quite as addicted as anyone that I can remember in my head ...
maybe because it's dead boring here?
it is? Why?
about answering... why bother answering when no one is ever voting

I have seen chat rooms where all there is, is bot traffic, not because there aren't occasionally people in there but because there are a lot of questions being run through there....okay because there aren't any people in there.
I don't think that we have a problem with the amount of bot posts, yet. but our chat is busy
and no, I am not reading all the chat right now...just giving my two cents
17:35
yes, busy posting monking monking all day long

COUNTERFRIDAY:
okay now that that's out of the way
@t3chb0t so you're not interested in the room, because there's no perceptible user interaction beyond greetings?
My Kids ask Alexa to play that Rebecca Black song every Friday Morning.....
poor you
17:38
I think I introduced them to it....what was I thinking?
guess what
exactly, nothing but greetings
yesterday was Thursday
@t3chb0t Then bring valuable conversation.
It's not hard.
@Malachi hrn ... kinda somewhat sitebusiness ... just saying
The problem is finding time where everyone can speak.
17:40
I just gotta figure out how to introduce a new Alexa skill so that Alexa tells them No occasionally. that would be hilarious. or even when they ask it something I have configured it not to do.
> I can't do that, Daaaave
AFAIK @Mat'sMug works during the day so has trouble being active, @Malachi works, @Mast, @Vogel612, @Heslacher, @skiwi, @Kaz, @JeroenVannevel are all in European time-zones at the moment, @DanPantry just got a new job and is busy with that and the extracurriculars that company is involved with, @EthanBierlein and @Hosch250 are dealign with school, IIRC, @Donald.McLean works and has a new house thing going on, @arda is from Arqade so isn't around here much, @Phrancis just got a new job.
There's a lot going on in everyone's life at the moment, it's hard for what few regulars we have left to participate.
I have this chat room open all the time... so chances are that if you ping me I will hear it and reply

And it doesn't help that new users are generally scared off fairly quickly due to...overwhelming disagreeability? Not sure what the most appropriate term for it is, but we've been quite rude to new users within the past few months.
17:42
@Phrancis got a new job?
Acting superior and whatnot.
@Malachi ditto

A large portion of conversation here is anti-SO, which isn't very productive.
@EBrown mute them people.... </sarcasm>
@EBrown the european timezone thing isn't that big of a problem. My bedtimes align more with Mug and the rest of the RD team (when they don't pull all-nighters again)
17:44
Let me take a Selfie
@EBrown would that be less if Duga only posted invalidation and the SO-Watchdog thing were in a separate room?
also.. yeah, day job, and then I get home and it's supper time, then kids' bed time, then I usually work on Rubberduck and have 2-3 chat tabs open.. but then these days I'm busy visiting houses, and then soon will be busy packing up and moving, and then settling in. and in-between all that I handle a couple of flags and try to keep up with MSE stuff.
@Vogel612 Possibly, which should be the case anyway, but the fact that a large portion of our conversations (several %) are "SO did a migration wrong" with no call-to-action to fix it, is definitely going to throw new users off.

Can anyone tell I think the OP is an idiot http://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/141817/lexical-analysis-program
Is that productive to new users joining the room?
17:48
no.
@Malachi Obviously I have a tab open for this

Q: Player Permission System

LiamI have coded a fully working permission system for my gaming emulator to determine permissions for users, here it is. What I really want to know is Is my code standard good enough? Is the design of the class good? (Not sure about so many Initialize methods) Is there any parts of the classes t...

Not trying to call that user out specifically, but statements like that are what create a bad attitude of our room.
@EBrown Social Media has ruined us all.
nah, just you lol
17:50
meaning that people are more apt to be rude when correcting people over the internet than in person, and they don't realize that it can be seen by anyone
@Mat'sMug if you open that picture, I am actually wearing my CR shirt today!
saw that :)
> I've asked a few questions on SO, I feel like I'm searching for landmines by stomping on the ground.
Same problem, just generally bashing SO.
@EBrown FWIW I saw that post, and this was my reply:
Sep 19 at 16:46, by Mat's Mug
> I am relatively new to C++, so if there are any common practices that I am missing it would be great to point them out.
but that is generally true if you aren't used to asking questions on SO, granted I think that SO has gotten better about this
too subtle?
17:53
@Mat'sMug Possibly. Unfortunately without a good search API for SE chat messages, it's difficult to find good examples of this happening.
eh, I've done my share of bad-code bashing, too
@t3chb0t if it is a language I review and the question is good, and the answer is readable I vote, and usually often. I used to Vote A LOT
@Mat'sMug We all have, the problem is that none of us have learned from past mistakes.
We need to be actively learning from each other rather than pointing fingers and bashing each other (and other sites, networks, users, etc.).
@Malachi me either, to get the second gold badge :P
