This was posted here before, to me. I've finally watched it. Everyone must watch it. The only thing I disagree with is the statement that it doesn't work the way it's taught in universities. I can't speak for all universities, but I have one counterexample.

A: Aren't new users throttled asking questions anymore?

Shog9Sorry about that. I'd hoped the other rate-limits we'd built in over the past couple of years would pick up the slack here, but... That didn't quite happen. Here's a handy graph of users who hit the new-user asking limit per week, by week: And here's a corresponding graph of users who hit th...

> The new-user ask limit is now one question every 40 minutes, network-wide. That means only 1 question every 40 minutes on Stack Overflow, but also means you'd need to wait 40 minutes after asking a question on, say, Woodworking to ask a related question on Crafting or Home Improvement. And yes, gnat, it also means you'd need to wait 40 minutes after asking a question on Stack Overflow before asking a question on Programmers.
> Rolling rate-limits kick in faster. Like, immediately. If your first question is downvoted and you try to ask another one 40 minutes later, you'll be forced to wa

I see that this question was marked duplicate. Based on your edit I am not sure it is, but I did not vote to reopen as the question you ask does not appear to be in scope for this site . Maybe it fits on Programmers SE or on superuser. — Dennis Jaheruddin 10 secs ago

That's probably too general a question for this forum. You could ask for a specific recursive algorithm/procedure that you have "how to make it recursive". Or you could ask over at programmers.stackexchange.com where they answer more general questions like this. — RBarryYoung 34 secs ago

Droopy is an animated cartoon character: an anthropomorphic dog with a droopy face, hence the name Droopy. He was created in 1943 by Tex Avery for theatrical cartoon shorts produced by the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio. Essentially the polar opposite of Avery's other famous MGM character, the loud and wacky Screwy Squirrel, Droopy moves slowly and lethargically, speaks in a jowly monotone voice, and—though hardly an imposing character—is shrewd enough to outwit his enemies. When finally roused to anger, often by a bad guy laughing heartily at him, Droopy is capable of beating adversaries many...

@StackExchange Kinda weird. Nick Craver giving Nick Craver permission to publish an article written by Nick Craver on the Stack Exchange blog. Except that it's not the actual article; it's a small introductory excerpt with a link to the actual article.
 
@RobertHarvey Yo dawg, I heard you like Nick Craver so I put a Nick Craver post in a Nick Craver post so you can read Nick Craver before reading Nick Craver?

A: What is the best way to implement nested dictionaries in Python?

paint canJust because I haven't seen one this small, here's a dict that gets as nested as you like, no sweat: # yo dawg, i heard you liked dicts def yodict(): return defaultdict(yodict)

funny but lame
 
@AaronHall It's interesting what people find interesting. That post has 55K views.

A: Saving changes is not permitted in SQL Server

Robert HarveyFrom Save (Not Permitted) Dialog Box on MSDN : The Save (Not Permitted) dialog box warns you that saving changes is not permitted because the changes you have made require the listed tables to be dropped and re-created. The following actions might require a table to be re-created: ...

And it's pretty much a parroting of what Microsoft says about the problem.

@RobertHarvey This both made me laugh and kinda horrified me :P (Also how many people would then be like "can you fix my internet the router is in the toilet now")

@RobertHarvey lol. When I was in university I always carried a notepad with me to write down my ideas. I distinctly remember writing something down something to the effect off "'Log out'... find a way to turn that into a poo joke." Thanks for reminding me. I need to find that notepad and cross that off.

Code Review suggested I go to Programmers. If Programmers suggests I go to SO, it will create an infinite loop referrals. Code Review is a much smaller community and in the past my questions just hang there without answer. If I do get an answer, days or weeks later, I typically have longed moved on and answers are of no much use to me. I much prefer SO or Programmers, for I get my questions answered there. Code Review is a place my question go to die. — Dennis 1 min ago

Your question isn't a bad one (they are making a quite outrageous claim after all) but it doesn't belong here. Perhaps programmers.se might be more appropriate. — Jeroen Vannevel 19 secs ago

Would you rather have confidence in the requirements, or confidence that you aren't violating Agile's lofty principles? To put it another way, which is more important: the product or the process? If you had to choose one or the other, which one would you chuck out the window? — Robert Harvey 2 mins ago
