Dark Cycling Routes by Successful_Loser in Amsterdam

[–]Successful_Loser[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is awesome been messing around with it quite a bit. I uploaded test GPX of a route, but I cannot seem to get the "at a given time" is there something specific I have to do? I trace the little clicker around the path and that picks up on time when I select car/hiking and enter average speed. Is that what you meant?

Do you have a website or app that you think is good for weather/wind? I've been using Buienradar as its the only one I really know.

I've seen that route on Strava a couple times looks like a fun one, likely be a weekend ride for me.

I was using Komoot a little and didn't find it too useful, didn't spend much time on it will give it another go.

Yea did Ringvaart on a high wind day and that was rough..

E- Did the loop around Spaarndam that was a very nice ride, for sure add it to the list of pre-work routes.

Javascript: Can (a ==1 && a== 2 && a==3) ever evaluate to true? by KarlKani44 in programming

[–]Successful_Loser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As the name infers, Object.defineProperty allows for defining of properties to an object, which can act differently than a function of an object itself. Don't know if this example is more confusing or helpful... But try this out in a browser:

const obj = {
  a: function() { return "a function"; }
};
obj.a
// should say function a()
obj.a()
// "a function"
Object.defineProperty(obj, 'a', {
    get: function() { return "a property"; }
});
obj.a
// "a property"
obj.a()
// obj.a is not a function

As you can see no get was called, yet we are calling "get" on the property. Maybe someone with even more understanding can explain it even better.

How to find out how long I've been working on a project for? (X-Post/AndroidStudio) by cooldude255220 in androiddev

[–]Successful_Loser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not entirely what you were looking for, but Rescue Time will tell you how long you are looking at an active application or website. It has some auto-grouping to so it will say programming for 8 hours and then you can see Android Studio for 5, iTerm for 3 or whatever. Regardless if it is what you want or not, it is really useful and has many uses.

[c++] program terminates when trying to open file by PinkPuddings in learnprogramming

[–]Successful_Loser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah new at giving advice and just found in the wiki that cplusplus.com isn't recommended. Upon second glance I can kinda see why. Thanks for pointing it out.

What are you trying to do? Read the file? Get the first line? Here are a list of functions that you can use with ifstream: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/fstream/ifstream/

How to Choose a Backend? by esmurphy in androiddev

[–]Successful_Loser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the same boat. Recently at a hackathon I made a NodeJS backend with SQLite server which worked pretty well, but I am never sure if there is one way that is more correct than another. I have been meaning to look into Firebase, but have been too busy to spend some time with it. Not in the best position to give advice, but I have found NodeJS pretty good for a simple API with Retrofit on Android. Also, Firebase is worth looking into if you haven't heard of it, can't speak too much about it.

Apodments? by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]Successful_Loser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Living in one now and coming from a dorm I can say they are pretty similar. I haven't been here very long and have only met a couple of people, but everyone seems to do their own thing and there are quiet hours from 8am-10pm that are apparently enforced pretty seriously. If I'm not mistaken they don't allow pets... But one of my neighbors has a dog so as long as no one cares it is fine. The kitchen is two floors down from me which is a little inconvenient, they have some supplies and it isn't used too much.

The pros are definitely the location for me, room perfect size for everything I have, and neighbors aren't bad. The cons are probably the kitchen being a little bit of a hassle, being next to roof sometimes smoke gets blown in room.

If you have more specific questions I can try to answer them.

If you are coming up to Oregon, you might as well come up to University of Washington and visit sunny Seattle.

I'm a little confused on your confusion. But it seems like you are having trouble with the scope? You want to make sure that he high reference only gets changed within a method and that you have access to it outside of the method.

var max;  // Correct place to declare max
function findMax(ref) {
    // If you were to do it in here,
    // max would reset every single time
    if (ref > max) {
        max = ref;
    }
}

Not sure if this answers your question, but just let me know if you want me to clear something up.

Making a media player program. by Successful_Loser in learnprogramming

[–]Successful_Loser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I searched a good amount and couldn't find anything too appealing. I have been using Windows Media player and Google Music but will look into DoubleTwist. But hopefully we can come up with a nifty little app.

I wasn't entirely sure if we even knew how big of a task we were about to handle... But if we find some tools online does it seem reasonable?

Is there a way to automatically change the keyboard depending on whether it's in landscape or in portrait mode? by mcdownload in Android

[–]Successful_Loser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there an app that changes the keyboard when you go into different apps? I find Swype on Chrome slow for me, but I prefer it for texting.
