I've tried 3 things...
* Burger patty - it smell and taste like chicken sausage... I hate that so I will skip it next time
* Kebab - it was good, but nothing special... However as vegetarian I will probably buy it more to make my food intake more diverse
* 'Meat'balls - far the best - I already made it several times, as my carnivore wife and kids like it very much too...

I do not understand the concept. Either you eat meat, or you don't, but eating things without meat that have to look and taste like meat, what's the point ??

Because the taste and texture is pleasing but some people don't want to actually eat animals. Seems obvious to me.

When you do not want to eat animals, then eat something else. But do not try to rebuild artificially something you do not want to eat.

So I do not want to eat chocolate cake, but like the taste. And I like apples. Should I mix apples with other stuff, that needs to be done in a factory, needs transportation, and is anything but natural, but tastes like chocolate cake, or should I simply eat apples ?

Eat whatever you want. Even if it seems nonsensical to someone else. If there's a market for it, go for it and make some money.

Apples that taste like chocolate cake? Oh heck ya! Sign me up. All the great flavor of chocolate cake without the negative side effects? Yep!

I tried an Impossible Whopper a month ago and was underwhelmed. It tasted beefy more or less; but in a subtlety not quite right way like a low quality patty with cheaper additives/filler. Texture was a bigger fail, it was way too smooth and homogeneous.
Big Mac < Impossible Whopper < Other Fast Food Chain Burgers < Good Sit Down Restaurant/Home Cooked Burgers
or on a separate axis
Bad Garden Burgers < Impossible Whopper < Good Veggie Burgers

Sometimes you find yourself writing a stupidly long line of code, in my case:
OutputImage(file, allFaces.Where(f => f.Proportion > double.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["LowerBound"].ToString()) && f.Proportion < double.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["UpperBound"].ToString())).ToList().OrderBy(f => f.Proportion).ThenByDescending(f => f.Rectangle.Height).FirstOrDefault());
That will auto-wrap on here but you get the idea.
Well, obviously I can shorten that line (but lengthen the code slightly) by splitting out the config setting retrievals:
double lowerBound = double.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["LowerBound"].ToString());
double upperBound = double.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["UpperBound"].ToString());
reducing the "offending" line to:
OutputImage(file, allFaces.Where(f => f.Proportion > lowerBound && f.Proportion < upperBound).ToList().OrderBy(f => f.Proportion).ThenByDescending(f => f.Rectangle.Height).FirstOrDefault());
But given that I'm not using those settings more than once, should I really be doing that? Two short-lived variables aren't going to make too much difference but I'm still doing it for cosmetic reasons and that can't be good ...
Either way, it's easy enough to split a method call where there are half a ton of arguments over several lines of text but what about when it's just one of the arguments that's causing the thing to scroll for miles? (Lambdas being a common cause of this).
Hardly a matter of life and death but I'd be interested to hear the thoughts of others on this.

I'd split it as you have done to improve readability and not worry about short-lived variables, the compiler optimisation will take care of that and in-line your code for you.
|
|
|
|

Yes, I'd agree with that.

Exactly that.

Strange. Much of my code looks like this:
Quote:
SEX R6
BN4 LOOP
INP 04
OUT 04
B4 LOOP
LDA R6
SDI 0F
BNE LOOP
NOP
The lines don't get too long, even if I use the old 64 x 64 pixel screen resolution.

Just setting the X register to a new value. This means that the value in register 6 is now the new stack pointer.

My personal style (which I suspect will not agree with anyone else's ideas) is ...
OutputImage(
file,
allFaces
.Where(
f =>
f.Proportion > double.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["LowerBound"].ToString())
&& f.Proportion < double.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["UpperBound"].ToString())
)
.List()
.OrderBy(f => f.Proportion)
.ThenByDescending(f => f.Rectangle.Height)
.FirstOrDefault()
);

My style too. Sometimes it gets a bit too indented, but it is far preferable to side-scrolling to make sense of what you are doing with LINQ extensions and Lambda expressions.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, I quite like that - definitely prefer the dot on the left to the right.
Subconsciously, that maybe just because it reflects my SQL style where I always put the comma to the left, but for some reason it is more readable than having it the other way round.

I dislike the deep indents ... but your code is immediately understandable, without having to figure out what each parameter is. IMO the winner is readability for the next person who has to mess with the code. [or for myself 3-12 months from now, wondering whutinthuheck I was doing]

I'd just throw some newlines in there:
OutputImage(file,
allFaces.Where(f => f.Proportion > lowerBound &&
f.Proportion < upperBound).
ToList().
OrderBy(f => f.Proportion).
ThenByDescending(f => f.Rectangle.Height).
FirstOrDefault());
|
|
|
|
|
That's the one I'd go with too.
Except I'd put the dots on the new line:
OutputImage(file,
allFaces.Where(f => f.Proportion > lowerBound &&
f.Proportion < upperBound)
.ToList()
.OrderBy(f => f.Proportion)
.ThenByDescending(f => f.Rectangle.Height)
.FirstOrDefault());

That's the way I do it. Except I move the && (or ||) to the start of the next line instead of leaving it trailing - it often helps when I want to comment out an option or two temporarily while testing.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

That's my preference as well, unless I'm still debugging the code, and I want to verify the output of one of the chained calls. Otherwise setting a breakpoint, say, on line 6 sets a breakpoint on the entire thing. But once I'm confident I won't have to revisit it, it all goes back to a single statement split among multiple lines.
