GrumpyDoctor posted:"I have a doubt" is a bad translation of "I have a question," which, if I'm not mistaken, would use "pregunta" instead of "duda." I've only seen "I have a doubt" from Indians. The reason it's weird isn't connotation, it's the fact that using "doubt" as a singular noun in English is extremely uncommon. It's both. "I have some doubts" is more grammatical but still conveys the wrong meaning. "I have a question" just says that you're not certain about something and you'd would like more information about it. You generally follow this up by, well, asking a question. For example, "I have a question about PHP's foreign function interface. Do you know anyone who's successfully hooked it up to a functional language like Haskell?" Sometimes the question itself will strongly imply that you think there's a serious problem, but "I have a question" doesn't convey that information itself. "I have some doubts" (or just "I have doubts") says that you understand what's being said but aren't convinced that it's true; moreover, it usually implies that you think that the claim isn't true, because if you were just uncertain you'd probably just ask a question. You generally follow this up by making an argument, sometimes couched as a question. For example, "I have some doubts about trying to implement this subsystem in Haskell. Won't frequent use of the foreign function interface introduce a lot of marshaling and locking overhead on both sides?" The statement "I have some doubts" carries a lot of skepticism itself.

FeloniousDrunk posted:"Sure, I'll just dig in there and find out why searches aren't working like they should in this goddamn software we pay way too much money for!" Probably placeholder logic (plus a comment to remember why it's there) for a future advanced search feature that was never implemented so both codepaths just do the simple search. Though why it's been done at all I have no idea. It's not like it won't require an update anyway if advanced searches ever show up.

This is at the top of the file: php:<? function deleteFile( $file ) { if( file_exists($file)) { @unlink($file); // debug only // $foo = "Deleted ($file)\n"; // $debugLog = '/logs/delete.txt'; // file_put_contents( $debugLog , $foo ); } //fclose was failing in IIS so we're checking first to see if $fp is a valid resource if(is_resource($fp)){ fclose($fp); } } ?>

rjmccall posted:It's both. "I have some doubts" is more grammatical but still conveys the wrong meaning. Yeah this is what I meant about it having a negative connotation in English. I just want to restate that in Spanish we use I have a doubt almost interchangeably with I have a question, usually if it's something that needs to be clarified while a question is something out of the blue.

I, too, have some doubts about a PHP / Haskell function foreign interface. Many, actually.

rjmccall posted:It's both. "I have some doubts" is more grammatical but still conveys the wrong meaning. Yes, but I've never seen "I have some doubts" as a poor stand-in for "I have a question." It's always been my opinion that "I have a doubt" is so weird on its face that its connotation never even factors into its interpretation, but I guess that's not something universal.

We have case insensitive versions of wcscmp() and wcsncmp() which call a function on both inputs that allocates a buffer to store an uppercase copy of the string, and returns -1 if one of the allocations fail. There's also this:code:
Fortunately a quick grep says nothing anywhere uses these functions, so I have permission to just axe all of it. Edit: never mind, the usage is obscured by macros. zergstain fucked around with this message at 19:43 on May 17, 2013 |

Dark themes are seriously cool, when you're spending your whole day staring at a screen you really don't want it to have a glaring bright background. Also Hammerite is there a trailing space on every single one of your lines, or is your theme just misleading like that?

My only problem is when I copy out code and paste it in lync, to ask a question, the font colors come, but the dark background doesn't.

A programmer I work with is extremely sensitive to light - his background is muddy gray and his text is black. He can't look at a normal monitor with normal themes without visibly flinching though, it must suck to have to develop and be really sensitive to light from computer monitors.

The dissassembly for the 2ms delay library function for Microchip's C Hi-Tech Compiler:code:
From the compiler documentation: code:
Apparently a 6 or 10ms delay does not reset the wdt! First, thanks for the super ambiguous wording. Second, thanks for making using a watchdog useless for code with 2ms delays!

Volmarias posted:Naturally, there's no goddamned documentation. Who needs documentation with abstractions that clear? I once did an enterprise Hello World in Rails (it may actually be further back in this thread) where there was a model for each character, each phrase, and then a join table between them. The readme file didn't give away that it was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek, so I made sure to delete it from my public Github before a recent job interview because the last thing I wanted was someone finding my GH account and getting the wrong idea.
