Hey Grace, nice of you to tell us, but from what I can see the community veterans including me really dislike this way of graduating "half-assed"-ly. I'm not sure as to what your plan is, but is it really that long until you decoupled the reputation from the design? I'd like to hear your and other CM's opinion on this, preferrably in a dialog. What do you think about creating a AMA in Code Review Chat? — Vogel612 2 mins ago

Ethan Bierlein

Jeroen Vannevel

CEO tells me they're working with AngularJS. I learn AngularJS. I look at their project documentation: it's jQuery.

why

Vogel612

This is, in most parts, a template announcement - "several months" is mostly a safety term and it may be less time. 9 sites were in the bundle of our "launch party" for design independent graduation. I quite remember the decision to turn down joining in the test with Magento last month. In this case, it's becoming official process and not giving you guys these things won't make the work on the design, or decoupling from it, any faster. I'll look into the potential for a chat event and who can partake in it. — Grace Note ♦ 57 secs ago

@JeroenVannevel don't trust the CEO.

I like this idea of "design independent graduation", but Code Review has waited much too long for a real graduation. I'm sick and tired of these lame attempts.

I think we'll be waiting a while for rep threshold increases.

Mat's Mug

so be it then

EBrown

Mostly because there are only 13 users who would then have the "Trusted User" rep level.

Five of which are mods.

Simon Forsberg

@itsbruce I think "I am the maintainer of this legacy code, I'm not entirely sure how to clean it up" would also work.

EBrown

I think they'll wait until more users qualify for it.

Simon Forsberg

@Mat'sMug Well Said, Mug.

Zak

@Mat'sMug Quick style question. What's a good set of prefixes to distinguish between a variable that contains a column number, and a variable that contains a collection?

Mat's Mug

@EBrown nope, that's irrelevant.

EBrown

@Mat'sMug I sincerely doubt that.

Mat's Mug

@Zak got examples?

Zak

I have "colPostcode as long" and "colDesiredPostcodes as collection"

drop the Hungarian "col" prefix that means "collection"; pluralization should be enough to mean "bunch of things"

@Vogel612 There's nothing wrong with XML.

Vogel612

oh wait... EXCEL is lots of XML under the hood...

Zak

Incidentally though, manipulating Databases is right at the top of my list of "Skills to learn next"

Vogel612

@EBrown it's just a dumb format to transmit data of a prespecified shape

EBrown

@Zak What type of file is it? CSV? XLSX? XLS?

Vogel612

13:37

if you want to emulate database-like behaviour use CSV,

Zak

It's CSV

EBrown

@Vogel612 I would not quite call it a "dumb format".

Mat's Mug

oh gawd

EBrown

@Zak You can import that to Access.

Vogel612

if you want to transmit object-like behaviour, use JSON.

EBrown

If you have Access.

@Vogel612 By comparison to Excel, even considering how bad of a database Access is, it will crunch data a heck of a lot faster

@Phrancis Access is a very good DBMS for situations like this.

TopinFrassi

@Vogel612 I'm so with you on that one

Zak

13:45

@Phrancis Office may be rather limited compared to "proper" programming. But it has the huge advantage of being almost a universal constant in every company in the world.

Phrancis

Yeah, importing CSVs/spreadsheets works good with Access, and from there it's not too difficult to get it to do "simple things"

EBrown

@Phrancis It does pretty complex things as well.

Vogel612

but as soon as you want to do cool stuff, Access becomes madness...

Phrancis

@EBrown Guess it depends on your definition of complex

EBrown

I had it reporting regularly to another server to send weekly data reports so that we could build a proper payroll integration system.

EBrown

Instead of having to input the payroll data twice (once to the payroll API, once to the database) at the end of the week, there was a routine in the Access database that would input the payroll data to the payroll API.

Phrancis

Access SQL is a true PITA, but... at least it's fast enough

If you have to use particularly complex SQL statements in Access, you have chosen the wrong tool for the job.

Zak

@Mat'sMug ah, klkl :)

@Mat'sMug I think at that point, I'd have to talk to our actual IT contractor.

Vogel612

@EBrown have you tried setting up an AccessDB as a remote database, where you can connect to with a proper adapter (aka. not ADODB)?

Mat's Mug

@Zak nah, just get me on-site :)

@Mat'sMug They're the ones who handle the server, updates, security, backups etc.

@Vogel612 ADODB is the proper adapter.

Vogel612

but a Database should be able to accept requests from systems without bleeding the required OS onto the client

EBrown

13:53

@Mat'sMug There's no MS Office for Mac anymore.

Mat's Mug

damn, I missed another memo

EBrown

@Vogel612 Access is not built to be a large-scale DBMS.

I think that's what your issue is.

You've been using the wrong tool for the job.

Access was designed for small groups.

Mat's Mug

Access is a desktop database, not a database server

EBrown

@Mat'sMug Precisely.

Phrancis

Important distinction!

Vogel612

13:55

@EBrown BI on the scale I saw is nothing that can be managed by a desktop database....

Mat's Mug

it's something you can put on a USB key for your sales reps to take on the road and collect data that can get imported into the real actual DB server when they're back at the office.

EBrown

@Vogel612 Then don't choose a Desktop Database programme...lol

Vogel612

and that was for a measly 200 people company

oh we didn't have Access as RDBMS

EBrown

@Mat'sMug Precisely, that's the point of Access: a portable small-form-factor database software.

Vogel612

still, running analysis at 5GB RAM for 2.5 hours straight is nothing that access could ever dream of handling properly.

@Vogel612 Again, the things you are talking about are not what access was designed for...

Mat's Mug

Access is for basic CRUD stuff, and it lets you create simple UI with VBA

and if you need simple reporting, it can handle it

e.g. printing an invoice

EBrown

Access is very good at simple operations, certain, basic concepts.

And it does them very well.

Mat's Mug

New release for those wanting to have some fun. Download the Mandy.jar file and double-click (needs Java 8 installed).

EBrown

> overly concerned with minute details or formalisms, especially in teaching.

@rolfl I don't have Java.

At least, Java 8.

I have Java 7, though.

Quill

@Duga I got it, faster than you too

rolfl

@EBrown Your loss, but that's OK. Java has auto-updates...... it should have updated itself to Java8 already.

EBrown

@rolfl I have that shut off.

We have a secure programme we use with one of our websites that only works on 7.17.

And, unfortunately, one of my jobs is to support this programme (as per government requirements) so I have 7.17.

@rolfl is it that "Java update available" annoying thingy that I dismiss everytime I boot my laptop?

rolfl

Well, that does suck. Governments get special consideration for using out-of-support products (probably because they buy additional support).

EBrown

@rolfl Well this isn't a product from the government.

rolfl

Anyway, Java7 is end-of-life in April 2015.....

Quill

Or you just get the beta versions of Java and they never bug you about updating

EBrown

This is made by a third party company.

But we have to use it to comply with certain government requirements.

I'm pretty bummed that nobody has tried the tool.... I lost hours to it last night exploring the fractals.... they are super cool.....

Ismael Miguel

@EBrown Oh. I had looked at it before, but the results were different. Thanks

EBrown

@rolfl I can try it on my home PC.

rolfl

Drag, zoom, and so on.

EBrown

But I don't have the link there.

rolfl

Just remember Mandy

EBrown

14:44

You can email it to me, though.

Java says I have this version '1.8.0_51' which looks like version 1 or something, but when I google it, it says 8

EBrown

@Quill Java considers the second number the actual version.

I.e. yours is 8 update 51.

Or 8.51.

Quill

what's the point of that

EBrown

@Quill Oracle/Sun.

I need to speed this jQuery up.

Ismael Miguel

@EBrown Need help?

Phrancis

@rolfl i JUST WATCHED THE yOUtUBE DEMO, IT'S PRETTY INCREDIBLE. CAN'T WAIT TO ACTUALLY TRY THE APP

Whoops... writing-sql

Ismael Miguel

@rolfl That thing looks cool. And it is quite trippy

rolfl

It now has this really really nifty export feature .... you find a section you like, then export it as a PNG....

Phrancis

Oh wow that's quite cool too

EBrown

@IsmaelMiguel Unless you're actually only going to worry about my document manipulation (instead of like last time where you only cared about my use of eq(0)) then yes. But if you're not going to focus on my actual problem, then no.

It's got to be my manipulation of the actual DOM.

Quill

14:49

move it to JavaScript libraries and I'll also give you a hand

Ismael Miguel

If you use $('#id').eq(0), then any optimization in speed will be nearly useless

But if you want help, ping me from the Javascript room

Phrancis

Turns out, the data aggregated from this first condition is not particularly useful... most of them are non-matches because of common names like "SMITH" and "JOHNSON"

WHERE (
        "episodes".epi_lastname LIKE '%'+ "exceptions".THVSPI_PATIENTNAMELAST +'%'
        OR "exceptions".THVSPI_PATIENTNAMELAST LIKE '%'+ "episodes".epi_lastname +'%'
    )
    AND "exceptions".THVSPI_INSERTDATE BETWEEN
        "episodes".epi_StartOfEpisode AND "episodes".epi_EndOfEpisode
    AND "exceptions".[New THVSMH_PROCESSED] IS NULL
    AND "exceptions".THVSMH_PROCESSED = @NotProcessed;

I used to have a windows-registry hack that just turned the caps lock key in to another shift key.

I hate caps lock key, almost as much as I hate ALL_CAPS!

Hi Curt, I'm not really sure what you are asking, but it sounds like something I should do..(???) I googled "what does it mean to profile code?" and didn't really find anything that useful. Sorry for all of the newbie questions! — yaegermenjensen 4 mins ago

someone wants to show the user the light?

rolfl

light, as in white? You want to profile the code based on color? Like, this code was pulled over for CWD (Coding With DarkTheme)?

Ismael Miguel

What do you mean with "show the user the light"?

Mat's Mug

@SimonForsberg needs google-fu training more than a flashlight

Quill

@IsmaelMiguel just look at the flowers, lizzie

plist=[2]  #Initialize a running list of primes.
pfpairs=[] #Initialize a list to store (prime factor, multiplicity) pairs.
removed=[] #Initialize a list to store removed prime multiples.

Ismael Miguel

@Quill I get the reference, I still don't get the meaning

Quill

it's a common phrase to mean dying

Phrancis

Just use better names dude, if you need to explain each variable for what it's supposed to be

Quill

the light obviously being heaven or something like that
