11:39 aditsu so I'm kinda disappointed with ODF toolkit, I might write my own library instead (and open-source it)
11:40 aditsu I actually started coding something about that in ~2009-2012, but didn't get very far
11:41 aditsu well, unless I find something better
12:08 aditsu is there an efficient way to add a given number of nulls to an ArrayList?
12:11 aditsu addAll (presumably with nCopies) does toArray and arraycopy; ensureCapacity and add in a loop increments the modcount a lot of times..
12:15 aditsu I guess I'll do the latter
12:43 pdurbin So far I've had the luxury of not having to worry much about efficiency. I just trust that toArray or whatever is fast enough until I hear about performance problems.
12:47 aditsu yeah I was probably overthinking it
12:48 pdurbin I guess I'd measure it first.
12:48 pdurbin Make sure it's a problem.
12:49 aditsu I chose the 2nd way because it doesn't create extra objects, should be fine
12:52 pdurbin cool
13:02 pdurbin aditsu: did you open source the thing from 2009-2012?
13:03 aditsu nope, it's barely usable.. also, I have 2 different projects that I should combine
13:07 pdurbin I like how how open source useful stuff. I just throw stuff over the wall whether it's useful to anyone or not. :)
13:08 aditsu I'm actually working on a library that provides a common API for spreadsheets and table-like things.. the odf thing is for the OpenDocument spreadsheet part (ods files)
13:10 pdurbin Hmm, interesting. I'm finding myself making a lot of spreadsheets these days.
13:12 aditsu also, when that's done, I will build a depeche provider for that, so that you can query any sheet or table; I previously built integrations for POI and csv files, but I'd like something more robust and generic
13:12 pdurbin I'm still not quite sure where I'm going with https://github.com/pdurbin/feedcritic but the main value it has for me is helping me keep my spreadsheet of podcasts organized. This: http://wiki.greptilian.com/podcasts/podcasts.tsv
13:13 pdurbin aditsu: I assume you'd support tsv as wel. Usually you get that almost for free when you support csv.
13:14 aditsu sure, I'm using OpenCSV which has lots of options
14:04 pdurbin cool
