questions like this posted by users with linked Math.SE accounts make me wonder if it makes sense to establish Duga tracking for "programmers" comments at Math.SE...
This "exchange" is the undergraduate while "overflow" is the graduate level may because of the idea for Math vs MathOverflow and Physics vs PhysicsOverflow (not SE related) leaking into other domains. While I don't believe that that naming distinction needs to be fixed (nor can we do anything about it), being able to more promptly close (and delete) the debugging and blatantly off topic questions with a minimum of additional community moderation needed. — MichaelTSep 20 at 19:59
...if memory serves I even once checked Math.SE meta for maybe there are posts misleading folks to post garbage at Programmers, but there was none. Maybe these under/graduate theories are spreading over there in comments
@Ixrec there is probably a trend, I noticed long ago that many extremely low quality questions are from folks with linked Math accounts (that's when I checked their meta for misleading guidance (and found nothing)). I only couldn't imagine that they've got a "theory" for that, I thought it's the routine way: dump garbage at SO -> hit the question block -> try next site
I'd rather recommend you to post your question on (programmers.stackexchange.com) since this question is too specific to be solved on stackoverflow. Post-fix the URL with help/on-topic to show you a short description what kind of questions are appropriate on this stackexchange subdomain. — isi44 secs ago
I happen to be in an environment where a genuine deep compare method is already available and using it is a one-liner, so...I'm biased towards don't use regex
before we had that routine we had a different utility function that sorted an object's keys to ensure the stringifications were consistent, and that's a really easy one to write if you have nothing better available
