4:00 PM
Star Wars
 
It's official now
 
they've stopped playing fair =/
 
@Vogel612 They don't stand a chance!
2
@Pimgd Just ping @Malachi and problem solved.
 
yeah, we got our secret weapon @Malachi
3
 
I'm going to help here now!
 
4:03 PM
@Pimgd Don't worry, they will cool down.
 
=D
 
@SimonAndréForsberg Everybody is running out of stars.
 
I like star wars...
 
The best tactic is spreading them anyway, stacking stars high doesn't help
 
I just hope that this chat room will still be somewhat on-topic.
 
4:04 PM
Is that even possible?
 
^^ it's always been somewhat on-topic @SimonAndréForsberg
3
 
Discussing the finer points of starring things in a chat room certainly seems on topic for this chat room. ;)
 
Oh, I guess somewhat may be possible.
 
Remember that we haven't even needed to try to be where we are at.
 
what am I supposed to star? TLDR
2
 
4:06 PM
Quick, @bjb568 throw your LQ stream for users to star!!!
 
gears up userscript
 
@Malachi EVERYTHING!
3
 
@Malachi STAR... ALL THE THINGS
2
 
@bjb568 prepares mod-flag cannon
 
grabs popcorn and rock music
 
4:07 PM
And if for some reason there is a low amount of stars around, there is that special word to draw them all:
lol

Dude, I hang out in the 2nd Monitor, the most star happy chat on SE!
in The Garden Shed, 19 mins ago, by RubberDuck
I can't help myself.
 
BTW.Work
 
Hm… Y userscript NO WERK?
 
How do you participate in so many chatrooms and still work on a day
5
I get distracted by 2nd monitor for at least 30 minutes on a daily basis (if not a full hour)
 
4:09 PM
Remember, disperse your stars!
 
@Pimgd ... not at all.. at least for me..
 
@Pimgd of course, when you're already in the 2nd monitor, the 2nd monitor doesn't distract you, ...right?
 
Yeah!!!
 
wut, we've been hijacked?
 
4:10 PM
requesting kick
 
@Pimgd Why do you think I haven't been hanging out in here as much? =;)-
 
(putting on boots)
 
What's the blue flag??
 
What?
 
4:10 PM
@RubberDuck me flagging bjb's message as spam
 
Oh, god.
 
@Pimgd I'm in 13 rooms atm
 
Ban ban ban
 
Ohhhhhhh
 
@Vogel612 Why?
 
4:11 PM
@J.Musser hangs out in Gardening and Landscaping just talking to himself.
 
@bjb568 mind turning that off?
 
@J.Musser And yet my mother keeps insisting she can't be in two places at once.
Technology is truly marvelous.
 
@bjb568 because this room is nowhere near fine with being flooded with LQ requests
2
and neither is the tavern
Hiya @bluefeet
 
@RubberDuck Not my fault, either... :P
2
 
You got called by the surge of flags I guess?
 
4:12 PM
Don't star my messages; I'm not on your side...
 
I know. I need to be more active over there.
 
@Vogel612 yes
 
wow it's getting crowded in here.
 
How come i just got blue flag notifications for this room when i've never even visited?
 
@Scimonster because we just had a big flag surge
 
4:13 PM
@Mat'sMug it's getting deep
 
@Scimonster welcome to The 2nd Monitor then!
 
Welp, I guess the flag system works?
 
@Scimonster were you in chat?
 
and 10k+ users are getting notified network wide..

@RubberDuck me flagging bjb's message as spam
 
4:13 PM
And the userscript too?
 
@bluefeet On a different site.
 
What have we learned today, children?
Don't dick around in production!
3
 
@Scimonster not really. the complete stackexchange is on the same chat system
 
@Scimonster chat flags are connected. If you are in a chatroom and you have privs you'll see flags
 
@Scimonster lrn 2 undrstnd chat rooms.
 
4:14 PM
@Pimgd Don't spam and don't abuse the flag system.
 
the only dedicated systems are stackoverflow chat and meta.se chat
 
@Vogel612 Okay, yeah, but still.
 
@Pimgd always test in production.....
 
@Vogel612 I don't even participate in Code Review, really.
 
@Pimgd never push to prod on friday
4
 
4:14 PM
it's your target environment, stage and test are never the same
 
@Malachi Maybe it's "always test production"
3
 
@Scimonster you're missing out ;)
 
@Scimonster that's beside the point. flags go beyond site borders
 
@Mat'sMug I've tried, but never manage to find anything to review. :(
 
@Pimgd fixed it
 
4:15 PM
@Vogel612 Oh, OK.
 
hey there's loads around ;)
 
@Scimonster maybe you should, participate on Code Review
 
Secretly it's all a plot to get more traffic and thus more stars

@Mat'sMug I've tried, but never manage to find anything to review. :(
 
no! no more stars!

@Scimonster what languages do you know? do a search for it
 
4:16 PM
@Malachi There just are never good JS questions when i check in.
 
@Scimonster @konijn answers most of those....lol
 
@Malachi And also, while i do fine programming and answering SO questions, reviewing just isn't my thing.
 
@Scimonster I'll tell you a secret.
 
We always need questions too. =;)-

4:18 PM
Today I answered a js question. But I have not the slightest clue of the inner workings of javascript..
2
 
lol already???
 
How do you send a blank message lol
 
yeah... shit happens
 
@Vogel612 Oh, that's not my problem. I just don't do a good job reviewing.
 
4:20 PM
 
@Pimgd zero-width joiner: ‍
 
ok BTW.Work
 
@J.Musser busted
 
@Pimgd Same way I get around the 30 char limit for this:

A: what to do with obsolete comments

J. MusserYes.‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

 
But it looks like even without any CR activity, i'll get a Talkative badge here. :P
 
4:21 PM
lol
<!-- test -->
 
@J.Musser Best answer ever.
 
o_O
 
Marzipan chocolate is awesome *-*
 
@Mat'sMug ?
 
ok, now anybody that ran out of stars, now go run out of votes
 
4:24 PM
but... my work?
 
@J.Musser no idea how you did it
 
@Pimgd irrelevant ;)
just like my finals project
 
@Mat'sMug copy paste
 
private boolean iForgotWhatIWasDoing
 
r
&zwj
 
4:26 PM
(‍) <-- Copy that and paste it into your message, then remove the () from each side... and you have a blank message.
 
do I even need another boolean?...
 
hmm
 
&zwj;
 
@J.Musser doesn't work
 
Hey peeps. :)
 
4:27 PM
 
yeeeah it's @kleinfreund
 
document.getElementById('input').value = "\0"
 
 
\0
 
@Unihedron Works for me...
 
4:27 PM
@Unihedron cheater
 
we're programmers, how is that cheating?
5
 
@Mat'sMug I figure there's some javascript in the chat-master.js that prevents this..
you can drop the room name, btw..
 
hello
 
and you need to use /chats/{id}/messages/new..
 
hallo
 
4:30 PM
I'm going home, worrying I missed a boolean =/
 
 boolean missed = true;

Q: UIntArray class in PHP (part 2)

Ismael MiguelThis question is the follow up of the question UIntArray class in PHP @Brythan provided a really nice review and I have improved my class. You can check it here: UIntArray class in PHP I have addressed almost all the issues he pointed out (the only one I didn't do anything was about the UIntArr...

There's a lot of new faces to me in here
Hmmm
 
@syb0rg you should visit more often..
 
4:56 PM
@Vogel612 Being sick in college takes it's toll :P
For all those interested, I think I might try to tag along with this journey: handmadehero.org
Its first live stream is tonight, 8 PM PST
 
How're you doing, guys?
 
@kleinfreund Better! You?
 
Fine.
Somewhat tired, but that's okay.
 
Good good
 
feeling like it's Monday
 
5:00 PM
^^ that
 
Yeah, typical Monday stuff going on over here as well.
 
Got some snow today. Panic ensues.
 
@syb0rg I assume the sessions are recorded, too??
 
@Vogel612 Yes, and will be posted to YouTube as well I believe
 
@syb0rg phew... 8PM PST is somewhat.. late for me..
 
5:03 PM
@Phrancis A Russian friend told me today that it feels more cold outside than it does in Siberia
@Vogel612 Yeah, it's even kinda late for my schedule as well...
I'm still gonna try and make it though
I wonder why this bounty was given early... codereview.stackexchange.com/a/69990/27623
I never really get why people give their bounties early actually
 
I'll pimp this answer, just edited today and two away from Necromancer.
 
@Mat'sMug Do you know why SSRS does this wonky column merging (and reduces row 2 size to 0) when exporting a report to Excel?
 
@Phrancis it's a table layout?
 
just for good measure...
 
5:18 PM
@Mat'sMug I guess so. I didn't make the thing, it just gets emailed to me each Monday. It's annoying to have to fix the layout each time before importing it into Access to manipulate the data...
 
@Phrancis wait, so you have an SQL Server database feeding a SSRS report, ...feeding an Access database???
 
Don't ask :)
 
you can't get the permissions on the SQL Server database instead?
oh, too late :)
you could ask for a little stored procedure though, ...no?
"just gimme access to that"
 
No it's just some data from clients gets loaded but sometimes for some reason the product description does not get recognized, and so defaults to "Unknown Product". I get these emailed so I can fix that using a simple switch in Access SQL, and request an update of this field to the proper field which is obtained by referencing the SKU product type. It's a PITA.
 
sounds like
 
5:23 PM
But yeah, I've asked them to make it a SP and they said no... so... here I go :|
 
wow
 
@Phrancis I'm so, so sorry.
 
IT to the service of business IT.

TS^
 
Damn @ducky already ?
 
5:26 PM
there was a earlier :)
 
I don't get why this works in C++:
 
Technically that code could be applied across the business instead of just for this client, and this problem would be fixed forever; but, there is too much more stuff to fix and too little people to do it.
 
int i = 42;
const int &r1 = i;
Because r1 is a reference to const, but i isn't const, but it still works without error...
Or even warning
 
So essentially the process flow for this is SSIS -> SQL -> SSRS -> Excel -> Access -> Excel -> Jira -> SQL @Mat'sMug @RubberDuck it's very efficient.
 
@Phrancis nutz!
does IT know about this process?
put it on a flowchart and up their nose!
 
5:31 PM
Right?
 
Do they know? They came up with it!
 
no shit
 
shove it up some stakeholders' nose then and suggest an improvement
 
you could write an Excel VBA macro to automate some of it
and then write unit tests for it with Rubberduck :)

Q: Design Pattern Implementation from begining

AjmeraInfoI have great experience with asp.net web form application with 3-tier design. Looking for moving to MVC with domain driven architecture. FYI: I never make any testing application with project and mostly all pattern says that all benefits is regard to testing. Is it true? I did so many research ...

Q: Will refactored method function identically?

Antarr ByrdI'm trying to refactor a method. It seem to be working but I wanted to get a second opinion on whether it function as the previous implementation. In the refactored version I use the AS type casting to be access the field properties and assign them. Will this alway return the type passed in or do...

 
@CaptainObvious now?
 
@Mat'sMug It'll be gone in several hours. ;-)
 
@Phrancis that was 6k tickets ago..
 
@Jamal so when is it that privs get upped and 150 rep users can't create new tags anymore?
 
11 more upvotes. I guess I may end up reaching my goal three months in advance.
@Mat'sMug Not until the design takes effect. After that, everything else will change.
 
5:42 PM
oh
6-8 months
after that shit hit the fan everything will change

Ohh I am so sorry. I am new to this community. When I ask to stack overflow they people say. you should asked about design pattern related questions here. So... :( — AjmeraInfo 1 min ago

Welp, time to find this user.
 
Hello @Morwenn
 
@syb0rg Hey :)
 
@Jamal Not finding it
I'm thinking it was deleted
 
@Jamal Can I offer you a pitchfork?
 
5:45 PM
@Morwenn Guess what? My CS1 class finally learned about pointers!
About time, am I right?
 
@syb0rg How many survivors?
 
Well, he took two weeks to explain them when really he only needed two days...
Even I didn't really survive his lectures without sleeping, so I'm assuming none
 
lol
 
Had one of my best lectures today: An intro to using the Unity engine
 
So far going through this CS1 course, I honestly think that I could teach this class
@skiwi That sounds fun!
 
5:49 PM
It's hard to make gifs from PC... so a screenshot will have to do
 
@skiwi Please do
 
Had a bit too much fun with cloth
 
Well, I did Hello World in Java yesterday. ._.
 
That's about as far as I got with Java lol.

The direction of the nearest bathroom ;)
I think they strategically placed them near the dining center
Smart move

Q: Karp-Rabin with bitwise hash

rolflAs a Rags-to-Riches re-implementation of the Karp-Rabin question here, from @tsleyson, I thought it would be interesting to understand the algorithm better, and to use bitwise-shifting instead of prime multiplication, to compute the rolling hash.

Welcome to CR! Not my downvote (I don't normally review PHP), but the best Code Review questions tend to give reviewers a bit of context, explain what's going on in the code and why, and what specific concerns there are with the code as it is written, if any (in this case I'm guessing it would be security). — Mat's Mug 1 min ago
@Jamal keep an eye on that one, OP might be heating up

I was blissfully ignorant about what I didn't know once, then CR happened.

WTF. This is the second question that I'm unable to edit for some reason.
 
could the close vote be sort-of-blocking it?
nah

Which quesiton?
 
6:52 PM
WTF how did OP manage to delete their post with @konijn's answer there?
 
Which was just deleted.
 
Which may explain things.
 
I guess it was just a help vampire.
 
Agreed
 
@konijn I was about to post the comment of why I voted to close but you were faster than me. And I was about to post this comment but the OP deleted his question : @konijn I didn't add the time to post my explanation comment since I didn't where to begin with. Love_PHP I don't doubt your code is working, just add a bit more explanation about what your code do.

but.. we need moar questions!
 
Minus the caps. ;-)
 
yeah, minus the caps :)

Q: How can this before/after jQuery hilighter be smaller?

SupuhstarI have a webpage that shows shorthand code on the left, and its long form on the right.

It's probably better it's removed anyway. He had posted what appeared to be the actual username and password, and hostname for his db server...
 
a hilighter?
 
6:56 PM
Which ironically is not secure
 
@xDaevax I can confirm he did post user/password, but it seems to be for a test environment.
 
@Marc-Andre still needs to be redacted by Moderators, err.... maybe community manager
I flagged it
 
I propose a SE site for question reviews, where we review your question before it gets posted. :)
 
@xDaevax lol TS
