5:19 AM

@ShadowWizard well....theres a song in Hindi...pretty old one, the one that you call classics. In english it translates to "You called me and I came running" ;)

"Tumne bulaya or hum chale aaye"

@ShadowWizard In Java, it mostly returns either row id of deleted row or something like that. But, in C#, method is void. It won't even return an error if somehow something bad occured

@FOX9000 principled

@DroidDev evil

@FOX9000 me

@DroidDev confess

@FOX9000 never

@DroidDev forsake

6:08 AM

@DroidDev but it already gets the index as parameter, so why return it? The only reason removing might fail is the argument being null or something really bad e.g. out of memory, and C# will throw error on those.

@DroidDev lol, sounds like woman coming to her husband..... :P

@ShadowWizard I don't know answer to "why return it". But, it returns "-1" otherwise. This is from database queries in Java and I use those values to see check if row was deleted right from what method returns. I can also do certain other things based on what value was returned.

@ShadowWizard well....that was a lovers song

well...but right now, I am stuck at converting a date string to local timezone

and then I also need to compare dates

date conversion keep getting to my nerves, be it any language

6:36 AM

wait...I think I found something

these timezone things will finally end today....or I hope they do....

throws timezones at @berserk

7:34 AM

mornings

mornings

mornings

@DroidDev oh, database is whole different thing... pretty sure LINQ To SQL does return indication for those things

I assumed you meant generic lists

@ShadowWizard I am not sure about generic lists, but I think they do some kind of thing too

@DroidDev yup, it's big headache for everyone, even Microsoft has to build special Update each time a country move to Daylight Saving

@ShadowWizard yup, even arraylists return a bool, if you call remove on it in Java

> Returns:
true if this list contained the specified element

7:41 AM

Personally I prefer to convert the date/time to integer (e.g. seconds since 1/1/1970) then convert back to date/time when needed

@ShadowWizard well..I have to convert them to local time, to show to user

and also compare values, to see if certain things are available or not

so, I'll also need to convert to seconds or milliseconds

@DroidDev new Date([amount of milliseconds since 1/1/1970]);

worked for me ^

@ShadowWizard I am also trying something like this. But, its kinda different in xamarin C# I guess... :/

though, I think milliseconds are better than seconds. More accurate

@DroidDev true that :)

    `TimeSpan nowFromCent=DateTime.Now-new DateTime(2000, 01, 01, 01, 01, 0);
    double nowSecondsCent=nowFromCent.TotalMilliseconds;
    TimeSpan localStartTimeFromCent=localStartTime-new DateTime(2000, 01, 01, 01, 01, 0);
    double startSeconds=localStartTimeFromCent.TotalMilliseconds;
    TimeSpan endTimeFromCent=localEndTime-new DateTime(2000, 01, 01, 01, 01, 0);
   double endSeconds=endTimeFromCent.TotalMilliseconds;`

here it is @Shadow

this code works for me

though, I think variables can use better names...but, I am pretty un-imaginative and this was the best, I was able to come up with :P

oh and I am not using 1970 as reference time, because there are complaints of xamarin APIs broken from time comparison with pre 1970 dates and I don't want to take a risk in this

8:12 AM

@DroidDev well, if it works it works... ;)

@Moosebot revive

@ShadowWizard actually, I found it in a question on SO and OP was asking that these methods don't work fine if comparison is done with pre 1970 dates. So, I just removed that part out, because I didn't need it and voila!

@FOX9000 forget

@DroidDev absorbed

Morning!

Morning!

@FOX9000 digest

8:56 AM

@ShadowWizard Explanation added.

@ShadowWizard why did he leave again?

@PraxisAshelin too many insults, as far as I was able to understand

@ShadowWizard well...I threw some timezones at him this morning. He seems to be buried under them ;)

@ShadowWizard may i know who did ?

@ShadowWizard I think it was just a case of misunderstanding

9:00 AM

@DroidDev actually after lots of thinking about it, I am not sure I know why he left. I thought I know, but when reading again what he said here and in the Corner, I might have been wrong. Finally decided to just put a status "no sure, too late, doesn't really matter" and move on. :)

@FOX9000 Big Bang

@ShadowWizard I think I know. But, I am with you on "move on" and won't like to talk about it...so....

@DroidDev exjactly ;D

oops

12:02 PM

@DroidDev the mods there are really bad. This should have been nuked on spot, not just closed.

@ShadowWizard I don't know when it was asked. I just took it from about me section of a guy on SO

yo!

@DroidDev oh, lol... still, whatever mod closed it was wrong

ya, true dat

@FOX9000 !delete!

:3572947 so, on what grounds are you gonna ask her? I mean, have you talked to her all week..or is she giving you some hints or something like that...or are you just gonna ask her out?

@berserk you sure about removed ?

@SilentKiller Waiting time set to 500 seconds.

@berserk so why aren't you asking her out today?

what's so special in tomorrow?

do you have her number?

lol investigating ;)

merging profession and personal ?

:3572981 not like that, did you ask her for her number? are you two whatsapping each other or something like that? Do you have her fb id?

12:13 PM

@dro simply ask professional touch or personal :P

@SilentKiller lol... lol?

@SilentKiller haha.. so simple

never read that @berserk

@berserk so answer it xD

@SilentKiller mix :P

mean i am right about this. chat.meta.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3572982#3572982

12:15 PM

Yea, u look expert :P

@berserk i am tooooo innocent ask to @dro ;)

:3572994 don't keep saying that you have her number. And, on what grounds are you gonna ask her out, if you don't even have asked her number yet?

please not, that I only know the amount of information you told me. If you think she'll agree, then sure, go ahead...

you need to build personal relation

In that case...I would strongly recommend against it

@ber you should say : "Would you like to have coffee with me (after office outside of office) ?"

12:17 PM

@DroidDev Why?

@berserk this is not a movie...

lol ^ exjectly

then you can try

I don;t know if that is good.

are we doing this again?

3

how about you just ask her for her number yet...or even better, ask her for her number...then tell her that you already have her number...but didn't find it appropriate to text her without her permission

12:19 PM

lol Pra

nice idea ^

@PraxisAshelin well....that's brocode ;) :P

@ber go with above one. else ask for movie then :P

always push your friend down into the valley of death if he wants to :P

hahaha

12:20 PM

O_O

@SilentKiller I would recommend against that too

just get her number first and start chatting with her

@dro you're always opposite on my innocent ideas. ;)

@SilentKiller trust me, going to movie is never innocent

@berserk well...they have totally different culture...

@ber then you should list down the topics you'd yet not chatted :D

@SilentKiller that'll just make him nervous and he won't be able to talk

12:21 PM

@SilentKiller umm.. what?

@DroidDev i don't know about that sure. ;)

@DroidDev So, that stuff won't work here?

definitely not

@berserk are you kidding?

@berserk ask for number and chat for some more days

12:22 PM

Ofc not!

Actually I was thinking chatting is.. maybe.. a drag :P

1 small question for your intentions

Wait.. lol

just ask for her number. Remember, you have to go to her and then ask her for her number and don't forget to tell her that you already had it, but wanted her permission before texting...so that she don't find it inappropriate

@FOX9000 property

@FOX9000 !delete!

@SilentKiller that's the dumbest suggestion you came up with, in this entire chat...

12:25 PM

@dro you know i have only suggestion not experience :P

so where did you chat @berserk?

@DroidDev I dunno but to me that seems a bit weird

@ber you have only option to with :P

@PraxisAshelin I think same...

lol dro your idea gone

12:26 PM

also would you just walk up to someone and ask for their number without chatting a bit first? gotta make some context u know

@ber the most imp point you are disclosing very late.

@PraxisAshelin they both know each other and of-course...but personaly asking for her number, I meant don't ask her about it on facebook etc...

a build up is necessary

@DroidDev you read that removed ?

@SilentKiller nope

@SilentKiller oh, that one. You just reminded me that I have to punch @berserk in face

he first told us that he is not chatting or something like that

I would prefer to do it like this: Ask how her weekend was, what she likes doing in her free time. Then talk about what you do in your free time, try to find something you'd both enjoy in common. Then ask her "wanna do that after work some time?", if she thinks it's a good idea, ask for her number "I'll text you about it later again ;D"

12:28 PM

1 min ago, by SilentKiller

@ber the most imp point you are disclosing very late.

punches @berserk in face

lols

super fast punches

i'll surely fall from this chair till this convo ends

lol

12:29 PM

@Mooseman kills @berserk

:3573088 it's a good start ^^ but imo you still need a short buildup at the moment before directly asking her personal info

^^

@SilentKiller Not a regular chat :P

well then just "I'll whatsapp you about it later ;D"

We talked thrice in total.. 2-3 messages each, tahts it!

still you cant ask for number if you already and she knows about it

12:31 PM

now, I am feeling like I also got to get a girl...but since there's only one in our company(apart from boss' wife) and I don't like her....I might go jump into a pool full of sharks, while cursing my bad fortune

@berserk then start daily chat. ;)

@SilentKiller that...you just made up for all the bad suggestions you gave earlier

@dro lol

@berserk try to find something very specific that u can do with her after work, something that she'd enjoy too. Then you can text her specifically about those things like "what do you think of this place?"

8 mins ago, by berserk

Actually I was thinking chatting is.. maybe.. a drag :P

12:31 PM

@berserk start with daily chat

@PraxisAshelin She loves hookah xD

@DroidDev yay!

@berserk ask her if she finds it ok, that if you message her

@berserk lol what else ?

@berserk water pipe?

12:32 PM

if you want i have 3 at home ;) (still i never tried it once)

@berserk In that case...she is way more advanced that you....I might also go on to say...out of your league...

but don't let that stop you....

sometimes, I am just brutally honest

Ofc, I won't!

@berserk lol you don't know about hukkah ?

@DroidDev are you ? :P

@SilentKiller look who is talking

@berserk well then, look up right now for some places where u can uhh...do hookah? and then text her "Hey, you like hookah right? I heard there's a place nearby where you can do that. Wanna check it out sometime / Wanna go together?"

12:33 PM

neither did i drink nor i see beer or any alcohol @ber

but some of ma frnds drink beer as well as hukkah so i know details :P

@SilentKiller same for me

@berserk I'm serious, it's a good way to get things started

and then, like I said, once you start chatting, do WAG. Associate topics and talk about things that remind you of that topic

@SilentKiller No

then you won't like hukkah

@berserk look up some places first. There must be like a café or whatever, somethnig fun

@SilentKiller I don't smoke either, but did hukkah sometimes while drunk. It was okay

12:36 PM

i must say poor @ber

fun to play with smoke

@PraxisAshelin but, I don't think that's of help if @berserk don't do any hukaah. She doing it alone will just be an awkward situation

@DroidDev he could tell her "I actually never tried it, but I'm kinda curious. Maybe I won't like it but at least I'll have tried it"

are you willing to try it @berserk?

@berserk you don't actually need to inhale the smoke btw

12:38 PM

@PraxisAshelin haha, every startup in smoking actually do that. They later learn how to inhale

(inhaling usually makes you cough if you're not used to smoking)

@berserk then go for it :D

do you need a first hand experience on it before you go out with her @berserk?

Its so hard for me to ask some girl to go out like that :^(

I just need balls.

@DroidDev lol.. umm..

You can do it berserk!!!!

if you already whatsapp her, then you should start from there

I think

unless she's sitting in a 20m radius from you right now, because then u should just ask her in person

12:42 PM

lol, she is not :P

best case scenario: berserk tells her he's interested in hookah and wants to try it, she invites him over to her place to try it

@PraxisAshelin not gonna happen, because of lots of reasons, plus Indian culture

@FOX9000 !delete!

great! Now, we lost last word

>>time 0

@DroidDev Waiting time set to 0 seconds.

@FOX9000 attribute

@DroidDev ignorance

12:46 PM

looks at everyone around him getting committed...and I am just sitting here...playing swarm simulator, a game good for nothing

but...then again....apart from every law of gravity, physics etc etc....there a law above all and that is, "Things can always go worse"

that's why I never think I am in bad condition

> ~ In an even more depressed state than before

@DroidDev stop whining and do something u lazy butt

@PraxisAshelin I'd definitely had done something, if there was a single girl around me who I like...

though, an Idea just came to my mind

@DroidDev lol dat culture thing

hey @berserk, my brother from another mother, my true friend, can you introduce me to her friend?

@DroidDev making a robot isn't a valid commitment option

12:50 PM

lol dat...

@PraxisAshelin ._.

@berserk I might look like I am joking, but I am actually not

I am dead serious

I know you aren't joking... :P (Accidently pressed buttons on one right column)

I am

Oh, so u were joking :P

Ok then :P :P

you betrayed me

12:56 PM

anyone here see/play Danganronpa?

ofcourse not, you're all still anime plebs

plebs.. lol

is that some mmorpg?

no

it's a game but they made an anime from it

quite interesting, batshit crazy freaky

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpEE_CworkQ
watch only the first part to avoid too many spoilers

never read those removed messages @berserk

room owners can see deleted messages... I miss that

I never had that

12:59 PM

I will play if it is a mmorpg(with auction house, animal drops, non-flash non-browser game)

Ah :/
