Doing something like Intellisense in the general case for Python technically requires you to solve the halting problem
00:31
<&McMartin>
I suspect you can get Close Enough with very little effort though.
00:31
<&McMartin>
Effort I'm unaware of anyone of yet doing.

It always struck me as a jenga sculpture - impressive to behold, all too easy to knock down, and a passion in the ass to fix when it does~

... pain. Stupid predictive.

XCode is pretty good, as I recall. Eclipse is okay for Java at least.

"a passion in the ass" sounds like a euphemism for "a fuck in the ass"

It squeaks by just about making sense, too.

15:25
< ErikMesoy>
How about just a little worry of automation, like the story about the guy who set his home and work emails to CC one another on what each received? :)

Fire them through a pane of stained glass; fire the pane of stained glass onto them; I'm happy either way.

Anyone here familiar with Windows Batch coding?
15:33
< ErikMesoy>
Ah-ha, was watching Task Manager and found a source of the CPU spikes I reported a while back. GPU-Z is occasionally grabbing an entire core for itself.
15:35
< ErikMesoy>
Not sure what's grabbing the others though. Would one core grab result in other processes shifting over to other cores and causing spikes there?

<&ToxicFrog>
mac: I've done enough of it to hate it.
16:30
<&ToxicFrog>
Why?
16:35
< mac>
I need to turn the following (very brief) pseudo-code into batch script:
16:35
< mac>
if (process 'x.exe' exists):
16:35
< mac>
taskkill /im 'x.exe'
16:35
< mac>
for (unsigned int i = 0; i < 10; i++):
16:35
< mac>
if !(process 'x.exe' exists):
16:35
< mac>
break
16:35
< mac>
sleep 1 second
16:35
< mac>
if (process 'x.exe' exists):
16:35
< mac>
taskkill /im 'x.exe' /F
16:39
<&ToxicFrog>
Oh boy.
16:39
<&ToxicFrog>
Good luck.
16:41
<&Derakon>
For when you really need to make sure a task dies, eh?
16:42
< celticminstrel>
Wouldn't it be easier to figure out why it's being relaunched and stop that?
16:42
< celticminstrel>
Assuming that's indeed the reason for this...
16:47
< mac>
Well, what I'm trying to do is kill a task. However, I want to give it the chance to shut down gracefully (via taskkill) before I kill it forcefully (via taskkill /F). Furthermore, I want to give it a good 10 seconds to exit, since not all programs can stop instantly, but I don't want to wait unnessisarily long if it does exit.
16:48
<@Shiz>
this would've been so easy in bourne shell scripts...
16:48 * Shiz whistles
16:49
<&ToxicFrog>
celticminstrel: what he's after here is the equivalent of sending SIGTERM, waiting for the task to shut down gracefully, and then sending SIGKILL if it doesn't, a la the standard linux shutdown process.
16:49
<&ToxicFrog>
I have no idea what the windows equivalent of pgrep is, though.
16:49
<&ToxicFrog>
Or even if it has one.
16:50
< celticminstrel>
Ah, I see.
16:50
< celticminstrel>
Not quite what I thought he wanted, then.
16:50
<@Shiz>
ToxicFrog: tasklist.
16:50
<@Shiz>
tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq myapp.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "myapp.exe">NUL

Shiz: No C compiler installed. I could do it in Python, but the whole idea of this script is to kill off a process that is causeing my machine to grind practically to a halt, so I want as little overhead as possible.
19:35
<~Vornicus>
it's not like python is that much overhead
19:37
< mac>
Vornicus: Not actualy runtime or memory overhead, but it's an additional layer that has to go through. And when it takes several seconds to open an application, that's significant.

(For example, rather than slapping the batch script into a file, I plan to type it directly into the shortcut's target field.)
