Aaaaah~
09:12
< Emmy>
that feeling when your code /works/ :D
09:24 * Emmy grars.
09:24
< Emmy>
that feeling when your code does not work.
09:24
< Emmy>
wtf, access, argument not optional? Bitch you got one
09:40
< Emmy>
Question. in Access VBA, how do i return the index of the item i have selected?
09:43 * TheWatcher eyes student
09:45
<@TheWatcher>
There are times where I feel rather frustrated that I'm not allowed to outright say "Put down the compiler. Put down the compiler, step away from the keyboard, and nobody needs to get hurt"
10:10
< Emmy>
Wait, you're not? :P
10:10
< Emmy>
aren't you supposed to be responsible for the safety of your student?
10:12
<@TheWatcher>
I'm supposed to help them understand what they're doing wrong and how to improve

Well yea, but you're supposed to make sure they do that safely.
10:17
< Emmy>
Now, if say, due to their ineptitude, they make unsafe errors, surely you should stop them. :p

to summarize what's happening there:
10:48
< Emmy>
To search and filter through a database of dossiers, the original builder made an intermediate table with the desired fields of EVERYTHING.
10:49
< Emmy>
after which he then deleted the unwanted results.
10:49
< Emmy>
Can you imagine what would happen with a DB containing thousands of dossiers? D:

11:15
<@gnolam>
Which drooling idiot decided that a null string should be represented with a NoneType rather than an empty string? >:E
11:15
< Emmy>
...
11:15
< Emmy>
That sounds annoying
11:40
< Azash>
gnolam: Well I mean
11:40
< Azash>
They are different things
11:41
< Azash>
What with a null string being just an empty reference and an empty string being a reference to ['\0']

<&Derakon>
I have a structure, called a Datastore, that you can put images into.
22:51
<&Derakon>
This structure is intended to be write-once, read-many: that is, once you add an image to it, you should not be able to delete or overwrite that image.
22:51
<&Derakon>
Now I need a variation of Datastore that does allow such operations.
22:51
<&Derakon>
What do I call that variant?
22:51
<&Derakon>
"Mutable" doesn't work because Datastores are mutable, you just can't delete/overwrite.
22:55
<@TheWatcher>
I assume you can't change the original Datastore to be a ConstDatastore and use Datastore for the one that allows delete/overwrite?
22:56
<&Derakon>
No, that'd break backwards-compatibility of the API.
22:56
<&Derakon>
Also, Datastore's behavior should be the default.
22:56
<&Derakon>
Deletion of data is, outside of unusual circumstances, a big no-no.
22:57
<@TheWatcher>
UnsafeDatastore?~
22:57
<&Derakon>
Heh.
22:57
<&Derakon>
Maybe ErasableDatastore?
22:59
<@TheWatcher>
Or ProteanDatastore
