btw @Legato I'm working on a review of your older question about palindromic numbers

Legato

6:16 PM

Awesome, @janos I look forward to your insight.

janos

first 4 lines: Santa attack :)

Hosch250

Already?

Oh, that was me.

janos

the rest are a lucky coincidence

Hosch250

I was going through the One Vote Short queue.

It is going to be awful short after the reset.

janos

total effect: massive +80 within 10 minutes, doesn't happen every day (first time for me)

yeay thanks ~~Santa~~ @Hosch250

6:19 PM

I only have 5 votes left :(

Saving them for the review queues.

I have 50 today, but I have a couple new answers:

1

A: C++ text-based RPG

There is a lot to be improved here. Number one is that you have huge blocks of code in super methods that handle entire moves. You should split that up into smaller logical groups for ease of reading, debugging, maintenance, and additions. One example I noticed is that you have this a lot: cout

4

A: Adding two roman-numeral inputs

There are definitely a few things you could improve here. First, you should create a method to convert a Roman numeral to an Arabic numeral and vice-versa: def roman_to_arabic(number): total = 0 for i in number: if i == 'I': total += 1 elif i == 'V': ...

So maybe I'll hit 100, but I won't cap.

janos

it's like Christmas again

thanks @Hosch250, you made my day ;-)

Hosch250

Well, I told you I was going through the One Vote Short queue.

Talking about badges, I'm really close to the one for upvoting competing answers.

janos

I guess you're making many folks happy today then

Legato

Think I'll follow suit.

Hosch250

@Legato I have some tips for you.

Check which badge they are trying to get.

Legato

6:23 PM

I welcome them.

hm?

Hosch250

And don't vote if they already have it so you can clear it better.

So, Nice Answer and Nice Question only need 10,

Enlightened needs 10

Revival needs 2

Necromancer needs 5

Legato

4 badges granted so far. Hehe.

Hosch250

Those are all the ones I just gave.

You just gave @Janos two more.

Save his for tomorrow, or the rep will just go to waste.

janos

yup, lol :)

if I had known this in the morning, I would have answered less today

Hosch250

You should be pretty close to being cleared out.

I think I have all but the ones in for 0 weeks cleared out.

janos

6:27 PM

my post for @Legato is almost done, but now it doesn't make sense to post today, I'll do it after the day turns

Hosch250

There might be a couple in for 1 week still.

Legato

Right, got it.

What's the rep/day cap?

Hosch250

200

Legato

ic

Hosch250

Not counting bounties.

Legato

6:29 PM

How can I check how much someone has already earned?

Hosch250

Yes, just check their profile.

Legato

For that day, I mean.

Hosch250

Check their profile.

Legato

Oooh

I see, thanks.

Hosch250

You've earned 37 today.

Legato

6:31 PM

Are you out of votes?

Hosch250

Almost.

I'm saving them for the review queues.

I will get locked out of some if I run out.

Legato

Ah

This needs 2 votes for silver

A: Which FizzBuzz is better, and why?

I prefer your solution to his. My reasoning is that: yours has constants only in the String manipulation you do not do string concatenation the logic is distinct for each remainder. Both options could be better though. The lack of 'breathing space' (white space between keywords, variables, va...

Hosch250

I'll DVLR by 6 for sure.

Is someone serial voting on me again?

I'm getting votes on old posts that aren't one vote short.

Legato

Not me, I actually checked what I could give you, and everything I checked I already up-voted haha, I just brought you closer.

Hosch250

Lunch time, be back later.

OK.

Legato

6:35 PM

Later.

Hosch250

Thanks, anyway.

janos

@Hosch250 ho-ho-ho... I hope you didn't expect that you can just upvote me and I won't reciprocate ;-)

btw that's about as much as I can help for your rep cap plan today. You wouldn't want to get votes reversed later

rolfl

6:56 PM

Ohhh..... santas... Thanks...

@Hosch250 - for what it's worth, there's often new stuff in the OVS report each week.

janos

^^^ definitely

Hosch250

Yes, but it is labeled by how many weeks it has been in it.

I voted on one post that had been in it for 200 weeks.

janos

@rolfl has 900 answers as of right now, congrats!

rolfl

@Hosch250 Ahhh, no, that Weeks is not a measure of how long it's been there.... it's a measure of how long it has been since the user who made the post, was last seen.

So, 200 weeks means that you awarded a badge to a person who has not been to Code Review for almost 4 years ;-)

let FIZZ_DEFAULT_VALUE = 3
let BUZZ_DEFAULT_VALUE = 5

let FIZZ_DEFAULT_WORD = "Fizz"
let BUZZ_DEFAULT_WORD = "Buzz"

func fizzBuzzify(i: Int, fizzValue: Int = FIZZ_DEFAULT_VALUE, buzzValue: Int = BUZZ_DEFAULT_VALUE, fizzString: String = FIZZ_DEFAULT_WORD, buzzString: String = BUZZ_DEFAULT_WORD) -> String {
    switch (i % fizzValue, i % buzzValue) {

        case (0,_): return fizzString
        case (_,0): return buzzString
        default: return String(i)

Tuples are pretty cool.

Simon André Forsberg

oh, that was a new one

I thought I had already seen all possible permutations of fizzbuzz

nhgrif

Using the tuple was actually posted as an answer to my original Swift fizzbuzzard.

But I forgot about it until just now.

when users with 575 rep post crap like this, SO is really in deep trouble: stackoverflow.com/q/28519807/641955

why is it when i log into chat for the first time in a couple weeks i see a fizzbuzz......

Phrancis

@DanPantry Nature of this place, I guess ;D

janos

sssh! you might evoke a discussion. To kill fizzbuzz, we must not talk about it. Ever. No starring either.

Jeroen Vannevel

@DanPantry I knew enough to have passed my exam a few weeks back

Dan Pantry

8:47 PM

@JeroenVannevel exam? 0.o

Jeroen Vannevel

Yeah, exam. I might come across as a senior software developer, in reality I'm still a student

Dan Pantry

I was more confused about the exam on angular.

:p

Jeroen Vannevel

fine then :(

but yes, angular. WebApplications course and our teacher has a "super exciting startup"

naturally they use angular

Dan Pantry

interesting

a company im going to be working with is using typescript + gulp, been struggling to put together a gulp workflow for it

and i was wondering how you would go about doing it with typescript's ability to add requirejs to it's compilation files

Jeroen Vannevel

javascript frameworks have the worst names

Dan Pantry

8:49 PM

i agree

Duga

Would be better in Code Review? — Soner Gönül just now

Dan Pantry

I wouldnt even try and use typescript in my home project, but

if i'm going to be using it for the foreseeable future i might as well get used to it

Jeroen Vannevel

Can't really help with that stuff. But if you need an explanation on how $scope works, I can help

that's the extent of my knowledge

Dan Pantry

hah :P

love angular i can just never put a project together with it

rolfl

This the GitHub support room? ;-)

Ahh, this is the RubberDuck room. My problem is resolved.

Except that part.

8:59 PM

At the given state of this question, it is not a good Code Review question. Questions on Code Review should provide a sufficient description for what the code does. Add a good description for the code and it can be posted on CR. — Simon André Forsberg 1 min ago

Simon André Forsberg

What's the problem, @rolfl?

rolfl

Well, technically it is PICNIC.... I committed with "Fixes #148 ...." and then when I looked at the issue, it was not back-referenced to the commit.

Turns out that It should have been "Fixes #143 ..." (s/148/143/ ... my eyes are getting old).

Now I don't know whether I should try to backfix it, but I fear it is too late.

github.com/hunterhacker/jdom/commit/… <-- commit and issue --> github.com/hunterhacker/jdom/issues/143

#148 does not exist... yet

So, @Simon - what would you do (other than not make the wrong reference to start with...)?

Simon André Forsberg

@rolfl been there, done that :)

I would add a comment on the issue saying that you were wrong

alternatively, as it is unlikely that anyone else has pulled the repository, I would amend the latest commit and fix the message

and then git push --force

rolfl

I could do that.... I think.

Simon André Forsberg

I gotta say though, @rolfl. It is quite impressive to fix an issue that hasn't even been opened yet!

janos

9:07 PM

it's the latest commit in your branch. It's easy to do now

Simon André Forsberg

git commit --amend -m"actual commit message"

rolfl

Fixed: github.com/hunterhacker/jdom/issues/143

Now when the commit gets picked in to master it will close it there too.

I am sure I am using git a little wrong in this respect....

Hosch250

@rolfl Boooo!

Well, at least it is out of there, and they can enjoy it if and when they come back.

Simon André Forsberg

I even manage to create an issue in the wrong repository ~~once~~ twice

Dan Pantry

Yeah, I added the Weeks column when the query was new, and I had limited votes... I would tend to favour people who were recently there.

Dan Pantry

Hosch250

I was saving those for last!

Because I thought they were the newer posts and were more likely to get it without my help.

Simon André Forsberg

@DanPantry WTF!?

Dan Pantry

janos

@rolfl not sure what you meant there

rolfl

9:11 PM

I am maintaining two branches in git... both of them are somewhat active.

Simon André Forsberg

@DanPantry it was the latest commit and was discovered very quickly, I see nothing wrong with git push --force in that case

Dan Pantry

@SimonAndréForsberg fair enough, I onyl saw the words "do a git push force" ;-;

rolfl

I fix bugs to the JDOM 2.0.x branch, and the master branch then cherry-picks the issues that are to ba applied to the upcoiming 2.1 release (master).

Hosch250

@rolfl Is there a way to see which posts are the oldest?

rolfl

@Hosch250 - yes. All posts have an ID and a Create date. Depending on how you look at things one or the other represents the oldest posts.

Hosch250

9:12 PM

Well, I mean without going to the post.

rolfl

ID represents the sequence they were added to Code Review.

Hosch250

I don't know SQL, or I would right my own.

OK.

So, do the ones with a large "Seq" value?

rolfl

Create date represents when the post was created, whcih, if it is a migrated post, may be before Code Review started.

@Hosch250 - what do you want to find? The first questions posted on Code Review?

Hosch250

No, the one vote short's that are old.

data.stackexchange.com/codereview/query/169776/one-vote-short

Phrancis

@Hosch250 Just add ORDER BY Posts.ID ASC or something along those lines at the end. Or I think you can even just click the column header to sort it

Hosch250

9:14 PM

Yes, you can click the header.

rolfl

@Hosch250 I edited my version: data.stackexchange.com/codereview/query/169776/…

Hosch250

OK, thanks.

Legato

Where do you check recent badges awarded for the site?

Hosch250

The Badges tab.

Check the sidebar: codereview.stackexchange.com/help/badges

Gave out quite a few today. :D

Have an upvote to spare?

Nope.

A: ASCII table in Brainfuck

Congratulations. This was pretty readable code, by brainfuck standards. I was able to follow it. As noted in the comments, @Bobby agrees. By initializing your max cell to 256, you've made your code portable to work on non-wrapping brainfuck interpreters as well. If you just wanted it to work...

Needs 2 for silver.

Hosch250

I have one more, and I'm saving it for the queues.

OK, favorited it.

Viruses so far have been really disappointing on the 'disable the internet' front, and time is running out. When Linux/Mac win in a decade or so the game will be over.

If I wrote a virus, I'd first make it an anti-virus.

Then, once it cleaned everything out, it would take over.

It would have everything to itself.
