Q: Do we really need this [framework]?

RubberDuckI'm questioning the usefulness of the framework tag. There are only 20 questions at the moment and they don't appear to have much in common. Seems like some kind of catch all tag to me. Should we burn it?

 
12:01 AM
@RubberDuck I agree with Simon's comment.
@Hosch250 Done.
0
A: Do we really need this [framework]?

MastNot every framework needs it's own tag. If a specific tag is available, use that. If not, use framework. It explicitly states there is no vanilla situation, which is valuable.

Kept it short, want more?

Ok. Sounds like a good enough tag I guess. I'll take a look at cleaning it up if I get a minute.

Q: How are we going to handle questions / answers becoming outdated?

DoorknobThis was brought up on Area 51, but I don't think it was sufficiently addressed. Taking into consideration the following: The primary goal of a Stack Exchange site is not to simply provide an answer only to the user who has asked the question—the "mission statement" of all Stack Exchange sites...

@EthanBierlein CG?
 
I still have the top voted meta post on that site.
@Mast Computer Graphics
Wow

Q: Should we have MathJax support?

Ethan BierleinAs of now, I haven't seen any questions that neccesarily need MathJax formatting, but I'm sure that at some point it'll be needed. Should we have MathJax support?

 
@EthanBierlein Don't all SE sites have it by default?
 
Nope
If the site doesn't need MathJax, then there's no need to lose performance for something that isn't used.
CG, on the other hand is absolutely packed with math.

I suppose when the accepted answer's recommendation is no longer actively sold on the 'market' (obscure eBay sellers, not counted) the question could be marked with not-on-market or something similar. — Quill 8 secs ago
 
@EthanBierlein I'd say so.
@Quill That's not solving the problem, that's introducing
 
Yes. Computer graphics has boat-loads of linear algebra. We're going to run into answers (and probably some questions) with the need to show equations. — Qix Aug 4 at 19:16

@CaptainObvious a bit suspicious in my books
 
12:37 AM
@Quill Indeed, that cleans things up.
 
oh thanks Santas
 
You're welcome. ;-)
 
@Quill Why?
Not the best question, but there may even be a gem hidden inside.
@CaptainObvious @EthanBierlein You could've removed the fluff on that one yourself. No I needed to finish it for you ;)
 
seems more like an algo review rather than code
 
@Mast Oh, sorry. I was focusing more on the top. Didn't notice the fluff on the bottom.

Anyone interested in trying a Java app ... mandelbrot FTW - live navigation, panning, zooming, etc. Here on github
 
@syb0rg Alright, here is a pedant: SET ( in some places and SET( in others.
 
1:38 AM
Considering that my project is apparently 42.3% CMake files, I figured it was worth it haha
@Hosch250 Put it in a review!
 
It isn't worth it.
 
@Hosch250 Find more and put it in a review!
 
Hey, I don't know CMake, but this might be worth a review comment: SET(GCC_CXX_WARNING_FLAGS "-Wctor-dtor-privacy") on both your if else and your else.
Also, what about that empty-looking if?
 
I didn't know how to do a logical NOT in CMake... probably should've looked that up
 
Hmmm, GitHub makes releases easy: github.com/rolfl/mandelbrot/releases/tag/0.0.1
Copy down the Mandy.jar file, trust me, and double-click it.
 
1:43 AM
@rolfl I don't have Java, or I would.
I'm busy playing whack-a-mole anyway.
 
@rolfl trust me
Famous last silence of the trustee
 
Well, yeah.... I would generally not recommend that people just double-click downloaded jars...... but, trust me, it's OK.
 
Virus boots
 
^^^ What runs.....
Heh, no feedback, not sure whether to be impressed, or disappointed ;-)
 
@rolfl That is a badass image... got a video?
Or should I get the jar?
 
1:52 AM
Hmmm... I recommend you get the jar anyway, it's really cool dragging and wheeling your way in to the brot.
But I am investigating where to find a window-to-video thing anyway
 
Does it just run with regular Java [8]? (i.e., not need to fire up the IDE or install stuff)
 
It will b default run with the default java, just by double-clicking the jar....
(it needs Java 8).
 
Oh boy
That was actually pretty fun
 
Long review, any critique is welcome: codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/104285/…
