Does Linq.Distinct operates per element or on the whole list?

Feeds

4:04 AM

If you study graphs in which edges can link more than two nodes, you're more properly called a hyperedgelord.

Goooood wayTooEarlyMoooorniiing CeeeeShaaaarp! Have you encountered any interesting coding constructs lately?

Also @milleniumbug why would they kick you out of uni?

´GoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOd Mornin' neglecterinos!

cubesnyc

I have a service that has users that connect to it. I would like to loop through all the connected users, and if they have a message, process the message.

what is hte best way to continuously loop through a collection that is mutable?

Avner Shahar-Kashtan

Good morning.

Roel van Uden

Good morning sharperinos.

ohayou

is it bad if i continuously decline social events at my company?

Roel van Uden

6:16 AM

Not necessarily. Depends.

Avner Shahar-Kashtan

Define "bad". It will mark you as someone outside the company's social circles. It will have social consequences. Whether these are bad or not depends on what your goals are.

Proxy

i know, but i do not plan to stick here for that long time

and there is not much room for an advancement even if you want to.

and we usually get invite for it 2 days before the event, like now i got an invite for a dinner at friday.

Squirrelkiller

Don't worry, there' always people who dont go to social events in a company. We even have a guy...he is like a meme of a programmer. He doesn't really talk. You never hear him greet anyone. He's a bit fat. Not a good posture. Usually looks towards the ground.
I like him.

Also he doesnt attend social events.

Also this is in germany so your social norms may be different.

Avner Shahar-Kashtan

@Squirrelkiller That doesn't necessarily imply that his behavior is smart or beneficial. He might be regularly passed over for promotions, or interesting projects, because of his less than sociable manner.

Proxy

that is true. I guess in the end it depends what you want to do

and how you want to be perceived.

Squirrelkiller

6:28 AM

1) The "interesting projects" in our company are very limited. Very.
2) Promotion also is difficult here, since there isn't much fluctuation. Still not sure how that works in other companies tbh. Also he doesn't really look as if he wanted a career change.

Dude's nice being around. No thinking of what to say. No thinking of whether I already greeted him. No pointless talking for the sake of getting your head away from work for a moment.

Avner Shahar-Kashtan

That brings us back to my original point. What are your goals in the company?

cubesnyc

is there a good pattern for upgrading a particular class

Squirrelkiller

That massively depends on context I think

cubesnyc

like lets say i get a raw string command that i store in a command class

and i want to parse it and upgrade it to a particular command like LoginCommand

Avner Shahar-Kashtan

@cubesnyc Usually you have to grind to get the best gear, then upgrade the relevant skill trees to match the gear you have.

Squirrelkiller

6:30 AM

We have really old code that is kinda...dangerous to touch. So many upgrades here are using the onion.pattern. Isn't good, but works without breaking stuff.

Avner Shahar-Kashtan

@Squirrelkiller An Adapter pattern? As in, the first step is to wrap the existing class in a wrapper/adapter, and once that works, replace the inner class to a new implementation?

Squirrelkiller

@Avner why not upgrade the skill tree first towards what you're trying ot be, and then aim for gear accordingly?

cubesnyc

what does that even mean

Squirrelkiller

What do you mean replace? Hell no I'm not touching that.

Avner Shahar-Kashtan

@Squirrelkiller Because gear drops are random. Unless you're willing to grind until you have exactly the gear you want (I rarely am), it's best to optimize for what you've got.

Squirrelkiller

6:32 AM

Ima extend that shit and add like 5 methods and an interface.

Avner Shahar-Kashtan

Then again, I rarely optimize any characters I play.

In any game.

Squirrelkiller

@Avner that's...pretty good advice actually. What does remind me of?

Roel van Uden

@AvnerShahar-Kashtan You don't min/max? What kind of gamer are you... seriously.

Squirrelkiller

Yeah I also usually go for "make skills towards what is fun and switch gear by g1.stats>g2.stats?g1:g2;

Roel van Uden

I min/max'ed the shit out of most of my characters. My Dark Souls III char just tanks bosses without issues, hah.

Avner Shahar-Kashtan

6:34 AM

@RoelvanUden In tabletop RPGs I focus on the narrative and character interactions. In video games, I focus on the story and experience, rarely on winning.

I played WoW for a couple of years with a build that caused serious raiders to choke up, laughing. Had fun with it.

Roel van Uden

I find that it greatly depends on the type of game you play. Story-heavy games, yes, I agree.

Combat-heavy games? Optimize the shit.

Squirrelkiller

YAWNI. Plan for the present. Some latin phrase.

That's what you reminded me of.

Avner Shahar-Kashtan

@RoelvanUden Define "combat heavy". Mass Effect has a lot of combat, but it lets you dial down the difficulty so that you can have fun with combat without having to be optimized. Smart devs.
