The Whiteboard

@RobertHarvey Yeah. I should do something about that.

anyone into logical problems ?

I think this question is probably more suited for programmers.stackexchange.com or codereview.stackexchange.com — SpaceTrucker 1 min ago

depends on what you mean by logical problems

@Ixrec I am struggling to create a algorithm which will either convert nested JSON to flat structure, or nested tables into flat table

that doesn't match any definition of logical problem I've ever heard, but reshaping Javascript objects is certainly something I can do

the biggest problem is always specifying wtf you actually want, obviously "flatten nested stuff" isn't quite specific enough

Q: Merge Tree of tables into a single flat table

@Ixrec that's what I exactly thought, but difficultly only started when I started making it work

Table Structure (Input) RootTable Level 0 ChildTable 1 Level 1 ChildTable 2 Level 1 ChildTable3 Level 2 ChildTable4 Level 3 ChildTable N Level 1 Example would be <tableclass="defaultResultsFormatting"> <thead> <tr> <

@Ixrec does this question makes any sense to you ?

unfortunately I've never used jQuery so I probably can't just write the code for you

still that doesn't look particularly difficult, have you read the jQuery docs?

@Ixrec I am having more problem writing logic then code itself

I am trying to improve my question, please stay with me

well, that is exactly the part we can't help you with very much

only you can figure out what you want it to do

@Ixrec I figured out what I want, but I am struggling to figure out how to solve the problem :), but give me a moment to explain it better :)

but since you don't appear to be preserving any of the table's existing structure

you can easily separate this into a parsing and a generating step

where the intermediate product is an array of the "child tables" that were in that bizarre nested structure before

of course the real question in all this is who the hell is generating that structure if you need something so wildly different from it

Q: Publishing project to a community

tl;dr I'm about to finish an open-source e-commerce engine based on PHP/Yii2 (yes, yet another one) but I'm shy to give it to the people. I'm not sure to which stackexchange to address this question, guess this is the most relevant. See I have a problem a bit of a psychological nature. Some time...

php5 yii

would this be on topic here ?

@Mathematics Your question is a dupe of an already existing question with a good answer. I closed it as such. Check out the original question and answer here: stackoverflow.com/q/15984257/102937

@Heslacher I'm thinking no.

Heslacher

thanks

I'm almost wondering if you should ask at Open Source, though.

One of their topics is about open source community and culture.

@Heslacher 1) I'm having trouble figuring out what the actual question is, so probably close as unclear right there, 2) it looks like you're after business advice or product selection advice rather than software design advice, so that's off-topic

Thomas appears to have interpreted it very differently, which underscores #1

more broadly, as currently written it's not a single answerable question, but a discussion prompt

I think the first three paragraphs are just fluff?

which makes it appropriate for chat but probably nowhere on SE without significant refinement

Heslacher

Its not my question by the way. I just wanted to ask you before I suggest the op to post it here. Thanks anyway

Jörg W Mittag

First time being called a cunt on SE! Woohoo!

Is there a badge for tha?

I guess Thomas is waiting for him to gather enough downvotes for a question block before nuking his account.

It's funny how many people suddenly care enough to start casting downvotes when the F bomb starts getting thrown around.

there have been a lot of questions way below -3 today

Last time I went away from my computer for 2 days, I ran out of votes, close votes, and delete votes within 20 minutes of catching up with the site. Fun times.

We're trying to fix that.

Heh. domyhomeworkforme.com redirects to paperhelp.org

Kit Z. Fox

@JörgWMittag Is that on a deleted comment? And congratulations!

@RobertHarvey "The URL you attempted to access has been categorized as hosting malware or phishing content" heh

Hm. Chrome just redirects. Firefox doesn't seem to know what to do. What browser are you using?

Jörg W Mittag

@KitZ.Fox Yeah, the comments attacking me and @RobertHarvey were nuked pretty quickly. As Robert said, the reason the mods are keeping the question alive is probably so that the user can be downvoted into being banned automatically without getting the higher-ups involved. Otherwise the question would be long gone, too.

3:58 PM

He's almost certainly already question-banned.

Kit Z. Fox

Oh! I can help with that!

Hmm, my flag weight could use a boost too.

Thanks!

@RobertHarvey What ongoing abuse?

I deleted the question, but I don't see any repeated instances.

Check the deleted comments.

Oh. OK. I missed that. Thanks.

And done.

@RobertHarvey I'm willing to wager he's 15 years old.

an image search of his avatar returns the suggested word "youth" ;D

Must be September.

The front page is a long list of off-topic questions.

This got a good, and immediate response (deletion). Think I'll try it for awhile.

atleast answer the question — user230871 19 mins ago

FFS.

@ThomasOwens: When you get a chance, you might want to do a quick sweep of the front page and two or three pages preceding it. If you want to save some time, you can just delete all of the negatively-voted questions.

David Packer

@RobertHarvey I don't think the user with the NamedStack question is going do to anything about it. Sometimes I admire your patience, Robert.

hi everyone

I don't know if I am a developer or a programmer...I love to code a lot in Java/C++ but I haven't had time to learn any of the frameworks like Spring, or any C++ frameworks.

afaik there's no consensus on what any of the various titles for programming jobs actually mean, so call yourself whatever you want, then get a job, then call yourself whatever your employer thinks you are

Questions that ask "where do I start" are typically too broad and are not a good fit for this site. People have their own method for approaching new technologies and because of this there cannot be a correct answer. Give a good read over Where to Start, then address your post. — Andrew Myers 1 min ago
