@Phrancis oh my. That's worse than an outage
 
My sympathies...
Could you kick them off so they run at the same time?
 
@Hosch250 No, Outlook barked at me when I tried to start another archive while it was in the process

Well, my code for the Beehive Management exercise turned out to be significantly different than the solution because I misunderstood the spec >.>
 
1:58 AM
Oh that's no good.
 
That's alright, I'm almost done editing it to their method
 
I'm adding Brazilian Draughts to my game.
It's basically International Draughts rules on an 8x8 board.
Chore time, TTYL!
 
2:37 AM
Looks like it's done, now time for a crossword!
 
 
4 hours later…
6:56 AM
@bruglesco Hitting page 294 and interfaces... I'm excited!
 
Nice. I'm looking forward to them!
I took the night off though to write a review
Man it got late.
 
Sounds like it. Link to review?

A: 2D falling snow animation

bruglescoTween is not a very good name. How about Snowflake? And why is it a struct and exposing all of its implementation details. I would personally place it in a class, initialize its values via constructor, and give it a public function like fall() or something to update it each frame. class Snowflak...

 
@bruglesco Damn pretty thorough. Awesome review.
 
thanks
I thought it was going to be shorter and easier. I kept finding more stuff lol
 
7:11 AM
@bruglesco Kinda funny how people with bad programming teachers keep writing bad code, eh?
 
yeah
 
(disclaimer: I had no programming teachers, all bad code is entirely my fault)
 
CodeReview was my programming teacher. (But I'm not blaming my bad code on them. I still own it.)
 
if (myself.codeSucks()){ blame(myself); }
 
else { giveCredit(); }
 
7:17 AM
@bruglesco I learned so much from CR, it's both humbling and uplifting
 
@Phrancis I can agree with that. And I haven't been here nearly as long as you.
 
@bruglesco I think I've learned the most from , it has shown me how little many understand about SQL (MySQL specifically)
I posted a message^ that just keeps loading :|
 
That's annoying
 
    public bool StartJob(string job, int numberOfShifts)
    {
        if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(currentJob))
            return false;
        if (ApplicableJobs.Contains(job))
        {
            currentJob = job;
            ShiftsToWork = numberOfShifts;
            ShiftsWorked = 0;
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
I'm a bit bothered by this string check (from "solution" code)
This is my improved version (original had a for loop instead of the .Contains check) but it's one typo away from being a bug
 
7:33 AM
negating a null check is a weird way to say:
if (string)
 
Agreed. And also a weird way to represent "nothing" with empty string, which there's null for...
 
well I think some people do that.
 
Yeah, but...
but...
NOTHING IS NOT A STRING DON'T @ ME

A: FizzBuzz in Javascript

MichaelOne of the problems is that the case where you check i % 15 (i.e. i is a multiple of 3 and 5) is unnecessary. You have the concept of 3 and 5 repeated, and the concept of Fizz and Buzz repeated. This is not currently much of a problem but suppose someone asks you to extend your program to print...

ohh but anything can be null
 
Well, JavaScript will gladly hand you undefined if it doesn't know WTF to do with it
(a good thing, IMHO)
 
7:41 AM
hahaha
On that note I need sleep
I gotta be up in 5 hrs.
 
Good night!
 
g'night
 
 
6 hours later…
2:10 PM
@Phrancis It's because strings almost never come from the program itself.
They come from input elements, which often give you the empty string instead of null if there's no input.
Or from deserializing a file, say a JSON or CSV, where no value could be null or "" depending on the deserialization implementation.
 
Moonring
 
 
1 hour later…
3:40 PM
@bruglesco at least you went to bed.
 
@IvenBach You were up all night? :(
 
I did. didn't you?
 
Taking care of a sick child?
 
@Hosch250 unfortunately.
 
4:10 PM
"Document.GetElementByPraying()"
 
Friday Facts #277 - GUI progress update https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-277 #factorio #gamedev
 
4:29 PM
@Hosch250 That would have meant I was being responsible. Took frustration out by gaming all night.
 
Well, sometimes that's a valid solution.
Frustrated about work?
 
It's not work. Unwanted bills and life in general dispensing steaming piles of joy when they aren't wanted.
 
:(
 
5:19 PM
 
@Feeds A jackhammer would be pretty cool.
Talking about which, did you ever see drag racing on jackhammers?
 
 
1 hour later…
6:23 PM
hey
 
6:35 PM
hey
 
What's up today?
 
Active Directory issues galore lol
They just restarted an ADFS server hoping it will help. People just getting their user account locked out randomly.
What about you?
 
Sounds great
Weekend started two hours ago for me
 
Bored almost to death here.
Weekend starts in 4hr for me.
 
8 here
 
6:38 PM
@skiwi You do C# dev?
 
@Hosch250 Yes, kinda, maybe
 
This day can not go fast enough for my zombie brain.
 
At least definitely way more C# than Java these days
 
Do you have your machine set up for ASP.NET MVC?
 
At work I touch C# code from time to time and other times I use .NET directly from within our own programming language
@Hosch250 I'm afraid not
 
6:39 PM
OK.
I was going to ask if you could clone https://github.com/Hosch250/CheckersWebsite and make sure the SignalR thing worked.
It 99% wouldn't make a difference since that's just running locally.
 
Is there another way to test?
 
Just curious why my SignalR doesn't work for European's on my Azure site.
No.
Don't worry about it, running locally would almost certainly work fine.
Talking about that, I'm going to redo a significant part of that soon-ish, I hope.
 
Hmm okay
 
@Hosch250 You might try using a VPN to get a European IP
 
Hmm, that could work.
 
6:42 PM
@Phrancis I also reserved at least 15 minutes with a coworker today to get something set up, and it turned out that I only needed to run the installer with an extra checkbox enabled and it already worked
 
The other thing I could do is set my site's location to a European Azure server.
I took my site down because I was paying $5/month for nobody to use it.
It's not much, but...
 
Not much is more than nothing!
 
Agreed.
Listening to various Irish folk/rebel songs. They are pretty hilarious.
 
7:01 PM
Btw, is it bad if I literally put time on my worksheet on closing browser tabs?
 
You might need a new bucket for that.
My work has buckets for time tracking and emails and stuff.
I rarely use them, but if I do a big task in that area, I will.
 
@skiwi Open cmd and taskkill /f /im "chrome.exe"
Problem instantly solved.
 
Actually today it was Notepad++ tabs though, they had gotten out of hand but potentially contained stuff I forgot
@Phrancis Not if it's Firefox :)
 
taskkill /f /im "firefox.exe"
:P
 
@Hosch250 We track time per project or individual incident, but we also have general posts where you may write whatever you want, though they're not supposed to be often used
Like yesterday I wrote 10 minutes on a fire alarm incident
 
7:06 PM
@Phrancis Pretty sure FF would consider that a crash and keep the tabs open.
@skiwi That must've been fun.
 
My work these days is usually: Arrive at work, join standup meeting (~15 minutes), check daily stuff (mails, tickets, attendance list, testcases (run nightly)) which is 5-15 minutes usually and then I actually start to work
 
@Hosch250 It would but I believe you could just tell it not to restore tabs. It least that's how Chrome does it (I don't use Firefox anymore)
 
@Hosch250 The neighbors of our neighbors in the same building had a tosti-related incident ;)
@Phrancis I have an extra extension installed that will save tabs and also has the option to restore them even if Firefox lost them ;-)
 
tosti?
 
Apparently that's Dutch...
A croque monsieur (French pronunciation: ​[kʁɔk məsjø]; French for "mister crunch") is a baked or fried boiled ham and cheese sandwich. The dish originated in French cafés and bars as a quick snack. A croque madame (French for "mistress crunch") is a variant of the dish topped with a fried egg. The name is based on the verb croquer ("to bite, to crunch") and the word monsieur ("mister"). The sandwich's first recorded appearance on a Paris café menu was in 1910. Its earliest mention in literature appears to be in volume two of Proust's In Search of Lost Time in 1918. == Preparation == A croque...
 
7:09 PM
@skiwi You've confessed your addition. We're here to help you. It's ok.
 
There's no English word?
 
Oh croque monsieur, I like those :D
 
@skiwi Looks pretty good.
 
A pie iron — also called pudgy pie iron, sandwich toaster, jaffle iron, or toastie iron — is a cooking appliance that consists of two hinged concave, round or square, cast iron (or aluminum) plates on long handles. Its "clamshell" design resembles that of a waffle iron, but without that appliance's honeycomb pattern. Pie irons are used to heat, toast and seal a sandwich — sometimes called a "toastie" — consisting of two slices of bread enclosing a filling. == Name == The most common type in most countries are electrically heated counter-top models, and names vary from place to place: in the United...
 
Grilled Ham and cheese is delicious.

7:09 PM
Those things like to cause fire alarms :)
 
I'm partial to a bit of mustard on mine.
 
@IvenBach Don't remind me :(
 
Mmmmmm grilled cheese and tomato soup. I know what I'm having for dinner.
 
@skiwi A panini is about as close an "English" version you'd get, though they are not exactly the same
 
I've not had mustard in ages. My parents are as penny-pinching as me, and mustard is an extra, LOL.
 
7:11 PM
@IvenBach Oh boy
 
@IvenBach Mmmmm, I just had that the other day.
About a week ago.
 
@Hosch250 I disagree that mustard is an extra. I consider it a necessity.
 
LOL.
But really, you can survive without mustard.
 
After my hour and a half walk from 5:30-7 this morning I'll eat good.
@Hosch250 Heresy.
 
LOL.
 
7:12 PM
Iven is not wrong.
 
I've only been ever wrong once in my life.
 
LOL
 
My wife corrected me on it.
 
@IvenBach Which is right now? ;)
 
mumble mumble mother in law mumble not nice mumble mumble refer as air bag mumble.
 
7:14 PM
@IvenBach LOL.
So, I've got a tip for y'all if any of you don't have Spotify Premium.
#1 If you listen heavily for 3-4 years, they actually cut back on the ads they send you.
 
@Hosch250 And this is why I need my sleep. Without it I loose my filters.
 
Used to consistently get 2 minutes of ads every 4 songs or 20 minutes or so (if the tracks are long).
I get about 1 min every 6-8 songs now.
And if you kill the application when the ads start and restart it, it resets the ad counter.
 
[courtroom] JUDGE: do we have a witness? [knock on door] JEHOVAH: don’t answer that
 
7:34 PM
OK maybe that wasn't as funny as I first thought...
 
8:01 PM
aww man I missed the food conversation.
 
8:16 PM
@bruglesco Not too late to continue it :)
 
Well I agree grilled ham and cheese is delishious
I also agree. Panini is probably the closest thing we have here
Mustard is a necessity
And Im making Pot Roast for dinner
 
^^ @Hosch250 3 strikes you’re out!
 
LOL.
Mustard is awesome, but if you value money over taste...
 
hahaha
 
You guys are making me hungry.
2
 
8:20 PM
Mustard, cheddar, lettuce sandwiches on toasted bread. I'm making myself hungry.
Pizza hot from the oven, homemade dough, mozz, fresh onions and green pepper.
Fried eggs with raw yolks, or omelets with fresh onions, green pepper, cheddar, ham dices, and maybe chopped oregano/basil.
Boiled hotdogs on fresh buns. Or roasted over a fire at a distance, so they don't get charred. Grilled hotdogs are usually burned and charcoal-tasting.
What's your favorite meals?
 
Steak
Tomato sauce made from scratch
 
Maybe you can describe it? That's another thing we usually go without.
 
ahh fresh vegetable (lots of garlics) sautéed together in Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Then add fresh tomato and some tomato juice and simmer for hours. add some herbs and spices. (I prefer more garlic, oregano, basil, and black pepper. Salt as needed but tom juice is usually very salty)
A splash of white wine for sweetness
puree
 
Oh, I meant the steak. But that sounds good too.
 
I'm a big fan of lasagna with tomato sauce and a layer of pepperoni under the cheese
 
8:28 PM
ohh. Thick cut NY Strip with light seasoning (salt and pepper) cooked on high heat to Medium Rare
 
Oh, sounds like we do our roast, when we get one.
 
Porterhouse steak cooked rare
 
@Phrancis Lasagna is awesome. Especially with homemade noodles.
 
@Hosch250 Never had homemade noodles, sound good though
 
@Hosch250 similar approach
Oh I love fresh pasta
so easy to do too.
 
8:30 PM
Also, let it be known that that white sauce lasagna is heresy
 
I don't know the exact recipe, but it's a heavy, oily dough that you roll out, cut up, and boil.
@bruglesco Not when it's whole-wheat.
We went full whole-wheat for "health" for a while (it's not that healthy...).
 
I've never tried to make whole wheat
 
Everything is scratchy and bitter.
 
Sounds like a waste fo time to me
 
We milled our own grain, made our tacos, pasta, etc.
 
8:31 PM
I'll stick with semolina
 
LOL.
 
wow that's a lot of effort
 
@Hosch250 Uh, that's a lot of work for little benefit
 
Yeah, my mom is a nut job about health.
And she didn't work, so...
That was basically her job, and my older sisters raised the kids.
 
@Hosch250 My girlfriend kind of is too, vegan and she has all kinds of herbal supplements (that most likely work via placebo effect)
 
8:42 PM
I'm not a fan of going overboard with herbal supplements, but they do have affects on the body.
Sometimes, it's because they have high quantities of vitamins, like orange juice and Vitamin C.
Then, of course, there are those that can induce psychotic effects, like marijuana making people mellow.
Basically, most (all?) plant-based matter affects your body slightly, and a good balance can help, but you have to have more than that to be healthy.
For example, too much spinach can damage your thyroid because it's high in a certain vitamin. Kales and cabbages have the same effect.
I refuse to take supplements except vitamin C, which I take more/less regularly to help against viruses going through the office.
OTOH, a lot of commercial supplements were first discovered through plants, and they just concentrate it higher than herbal supplements to treat certain things.
Like how opoids were discovered from poppies.
 
9:00 PM
I think the supplements industry is very much over-hyped, heard recently it's a $30+ billion industry in the US alone, which is ridiculous
 
I completely agree.
I don't know whether to think it's people fighting aging too hard, or if it's side-effects of a life on fast-food and no exercise giving people extra problems?
 
The latter sounds more likely
Also this lol
Remember, the most secure password reset systems on earth are impenetrable to non pet owners.
 
I do know that my muscles are in regular-ish pain because it's hard to find time to walk, so they get knotted, and my family is proposing I take calcium to help. I know the solution--it's just almost impossible to do it.
@Phrancis LOL.
 
People have been hawking snake oil from the dawn of time
 
@bruglesco Read The Gentle Grafter?
It's a series of O'Henry stories about grafters, and it's hilarious.
 
9:05 PM
Nope. Definitely look into it though.
 
My family had a book with a bunch of his collections. I like Heart of the West best besides the Gentle Grafter.
 
My code works and I don't know why
5
 
@skiwi That should be pinned.
 
@Hosch250 lol
 
@skiwi copy pasta from SO much? :p
That nap did me good perfect temp in the car for it.
 
9:17 PM
@IvenBach Nope, with Blender I can script and visually confirm that it works
 
@Hosch250 done
 
+1
 
9:55 PM
I'm getting somewhere slowly...
Only I'm fighting against why in the bottom picture (with only the backplate) the edges are so badly visible, I have a feeling the lighting is off or something
I increased the thickness and now it looks a lot better ^^
Apart from WTF went on to the far left
 
#FridayAfternoon
 
Looks a lot better now imo
But end of spam for today :D
 
10:10 PM
@Phrancis Just got that for 'Be done by Monday morning'?
 
10:36 PM
@IvenBach Right lol. They couldn't just call us a few days sooner
 
Getting hardware, software, and everything else set up properly takes time.
 
11:11 PM
Life progression :-)
Too real^^ @IvenBach can relate? X)
 
11:23 PM
Yep.
 
11:45 PM
Mathieu Guindon vs. Simon Forsberg: 12020 diff. Year: +10. Quarter: +10. Month: +10. Week: -5. Day: +10.

Hey I'm still alive :) I hope everyone is ok :)
