right now the votes are +2 and -1, which adds up to +1, but when the error was reported, it was +1 and -1, which adds up to 0, yet the answer showed 1 upvote
that is, that is what I get from the posts there, I can't verify it, my time machine is on the fritz today
could be a byproduct of the caching done, if I were to hazard a guess
@LasseVKarlsen You are correct. Only the front page is cached, and the vote breakdown is also retrieved live. Which is why it has a 1000+ rep requirement if I recall correctly
@balpha I think your right. THe black could work, but the blue feels a bit too light? And red will grab attention. Possibly why it was noticed. It's an idea?
Is there a SE site for GUI thesedays? I think I want to post a question there, @Diago's comment about not many considering this makes me want to ask a few questions.
Thanks, I thought I found a site I could give you a link to that would make the site appear in some way as I see it, but it just made everything grayscale
@LasseVKarlsen OK. I was an iTunes fan. Really. Honestly. Until about 10 seconds ago. Both the Mac and Windows versions looks like it was designed by a 2 year old!!!!!!
@Sekhat This one app still uses Visual Studio 2005/.NET 2.0. The original coder has no clue that floating point type is not ideal for currency. Also has no idea what the Controller pattern is for.
Some controllers are static classes, some aren't. Some "Helper" classes were created that should really be controllers. Some Web forms have more data manipulation in it than the controller it uses. UGH
@devinb I like that point of view
At least I got to introduce jQuery to the codebase. Felt nice deleting tons of crap javascript.
@spoulson same here, except I'm modifying a Web Service and the original coder had no idea what methods or classes were. The file is 3451 lines long...
@devinb No, actually it's fairly large. Includes an MVC website framework system, active record database system, CMS system, ECommerce system, and two specific industry eCommerce solutions. I have a LONG day ahead of me! ;-)
`// for a RESPA loan, set the initial value of the Using Closing Agent flag` `// based on the loan purpose.` `SetUsingClosingAgentFlagByLoanPurpose(appState);`
The method name explains it better than the comment
@Sekhat I checked the source control (I was trying to debug this) and I discovered that the comments were not out of sync. He wrote the comment at the same time that he removed the code.
Much better comments are like: // (Trac #123) I know this isn't really the best place in the code to do this solution // but it would take many additional hours with no real benefit to move it to the // right place. Complaints to: yourmom@noreply.org
@devinb They're a very valuable member of our team :-) If you don't have a sense of humor and enjoy what you do... why do it? As long as it's all harmless fun. If that were in a message displayed to the customer that would be a very different story! ;-)
@devinb Very true. And also, as long as they follow the rules. The yourmom@noreply.org bit was humorous, but he did reference the internal issue tracking system where his work and svn commits were thoroughly documented, so he followed policy, albeit with his own special touch ;-)
@Josh He sounds like a guy I'd love to work with. Unfortunately, all of my code at the moment is client-owned. So I can't put in any jokes. Not to say I don't. Just that I'm not allowed ot.
They had switched source control systems in the mean-time and had not migrated all the projects. Or they had left our project somewhere in the "depracated" column.
For whatever reason, I (a maintenance coder in those days) was told to fix a bug in an application with no source code.
Speaking of the size of this framework I jokingly said I was going to rewrite -- I'm about to ask a question on SO about recommendations on rewriting part of it and when to do so; does anyone know an easy linux/os x way to geta metric which would be helpful in determining the size/scope of the project? I.e the number of lines of code across hundreds of files?
Our direct client (a good guy) ended up going to the basement and found the actual machine that one of our devs had worked on, dusted it off, booted up and took the local copy.
We want to invite a third party for reviewing our code and they want to know a ball park figure of number of lines of code we have in all our applications!
Depending on the coding style of each of developer and depending on the language chosen there can be significant difference by measuring the...
A "drop"shadow is created due to the nature of the sun causing an object to "lose" it's "darkness". The darkness tends to spill out behind the object as if it were dropped.
