| 08:18 | < Vorntastic> | I haven't even seen part 2 yet but if it's what I think it is, it'll be annoying either way |
| 08:19 | <&McMartin> | Once I sat down to Do The Math I got a proper solution than I am happy with. |
| 08:19 | <&McMartin> | (It is, indeed, what you almost certainly think it is: "how long do you delay your start so that you will never be caught") |
| 08:20 | < Vorntastic> | (indeed) |
| 08:21 | <&McMartin> | (A brute force attempt on that with my input would require worst-case a half-billion attempts.) |
| 08:21 | <&McMartin> | (I got my Correct program working before it got to the actual answer.) |
| 08:23 | < Vorntastic> | Yeah screw that noise |
| 08:23 | <&McMartin> | Do let me know when you solve it; I thought I knew what I was using to get my answer, but I was wrong |
| 08:24 | < Vorntastic> | That'll be in the morning, since I'm at work. |
| 08:25 | <&McMartin> | That's totally fine |

| 10:36 | < simon_> | gah! in C#/Java I can at least have a bunch of overloaded database get functions with slightly varying parameters. in Perl without overloading I'm facing the combinatorics of all possible inputs, and throwing in some odd combination just seems wrong (since in C# it'd result in a type error when some combination doesn't exist) |
| 10:36 | < simon_> | making all combinations possible is a bit heroic and seems wrong when they're not called anywhere anyway. |
| 10:39 | < simon_> | I've got this local function in my MVC controller that I'd like to factor into the database layer: |
| 10:39 | < simon_> | sub _get_companyprofiles_with_ads ($self, $companyid, $firstdate, $lastdate) { |
| 10:39 | < simon_> | my @ads = JIX::CompanyIndex::Ad->select_company( $companyids, $firstdate, $lastdate ); |
| 10:40 | < simon_> | my @filtered_companyids = uniq( map { $_->companyid } @ads ); |
| 10:40 | < simon_> | my @companyprofiles = JIX::CompanyIndex::Profile->fetch({ |
| 10:40 | < simon_> | companyid => \@filtered_companyids, |
| 10:40 | < simon_> | filter => 'all', |
| 10:40 | < simon_> | }); |
| 10:40 | < simon_> | return \@companyprofiles; |
| 10:40 | < simon_> | } |
| 10:42 | < simon_> | there is actually a function with the right name that has some code overlap, too, called fetch_paid_profiles. ("profiles with ads" and "paid profiles" aren't exactly the same, but it turns out that "paid profiles" has actually become wrong over time, but never mind) |
| 10:43 | < simon_> | the only drawback is that fetch_paid_profiles doesn't accept a $firstdate and $lastdate, but rather a $datetime, and @ads in it becomes the ones where $datetime is in the showing interval defined for those ads. |
| 10:47 | < Vorntastic> | Something something dictionary parameters |
| 10:47 | < simon_> | so if I'm gonna use fetch_paid_profiles, I need to extend it so it supports either $firstdate/$lastdate *or* $datetime. but then there's another parameter called $filter that can be 'active' or 'all' (meaning active+inactive). so I've suddenly got a bunch of combinations, some of which are not in use. (all, companyids, datetime), (active, companyids, datetime), (all, [], datetime), (active, [], datetime) were |
| 10:47 | < simon_> | the ones it already supported. and the one I want to add is (all, companyids, firstdate/lastdate). but I end up with this vast space of combinations that aren't in use, just because I can't overload fetch_paid_profiles to work with particular combinations. |
| 10:48 | < simon_> | Vorntastic, but I'd have this subroutine that throws an exception on unsupported combinations rather than give a warning about wrong types, wouldn't I? |
| 10:48 | < Vorntastic> | Point |
| 10:49 | < simon_> | I don't like it. |
| 10:49 | < Vorntastic> | Mh. How do you use datetime if its just one |
| 10:50 | < simon_> | then it's "ads where this datetime is in the interval of the start/end of the ad" |
| 10:50 | < simon_> | I'm not sure when you'd want that. search boxes always have a start and an end, and only specifying one of them is equivalent to that. |
| 10:50 | < Vorntastic> | Ok and how do you use the first/last when you have both? |
| 10:51 | < simon_> | I actually do the first/last anytime I have either. the datetime thing is used elsewhere in the codebase. |
| 10:52 | < simon_> | changing the rest of the codebase to only have first/last and have datetime simply mean {first => datetime, last => undef} is too much scope creep in my first month of work. :P |
| 10:53 | < Vorntastic> | Okay. Make it so your thing will duplicate the lone date into two if you only get one? So the interface remains the same but a single time works the same as an interval |
| 10:53 | < simon_> | Vorntastic, when I have both of first/last, it means "if the intervals of the ads overlap with the first/last interval". |
| 10:53 | < Vorntastic> | Right, so exactly the same mechanics then |
| 10:53 | < simon_> | Vorntastic, yep, just with matching intervals with intervals, rather than matching a point with an interval. but it's just a generalization. |
| 10:54 | < Vorntastic> | Right. This generalization doesn't change anything with either mechanics so it will work with both without any downstream changes |
| 10:55 | < simon_> | Vorntastic, yeah, that'd reduce handling datetime separately, so one dimension fewer. thanks. |
| 10:57 | | * TheWatcher grumbles at the MediaWiki devs |
| 10:57 | <@TheWatcher> | ... would be nice if they explicitly listed breaking sodding changes... |
| 11:07 | < Vorntastic> | Probably pull out maybe_datetime_to_interval as its own function |
| 11:08 | < Vorntastic> | Don't like that name too much though |
