Also, my gist example is about UDP, but for TCP all things are the same. Just look at any HTTP client library on GitHub. There is no smart API. There is no simple code. Apple and Google wants you to use that IP which they give you! Strange conspiracy theory, right? (On Android, they should make a special Java call to ConnectivityManager to set mobile priority! WHAT?!!) So, things go poorer year to year all because of bad lazy programmers around us. — avesus 40 secs ago

@chi: The users are C/C++ or (gasp) assembler language programmers passing a parameter to a callable API. It is not the main function of the API, but one of my users is calling from a situation in which he is running as part of the kernel (more or less) and cannot use I/O functions, so I have implemented a way for him or others to output error and status messages on my log. They can pass up to four variables and a "printf() style" text message. They are skilled programmers but stuff happens. The doc emphasizes that stuff should happen in test, not production. — Charles 16 secs ago

"If you are looking for speed, you're using the wrong language" - that's wrong, actually, many Java programmers care about speed and they get it. "inefficiencies like getters and setters" - wrong, getters and setters cost exactly zero after JIT does its job. — maaartinus 1 min ago

@Mathias Muller Please clarify what isn't clear, instead of vaguely designating the help center. As it stands, according to your logic, any time anyone asks a question here it can be legitimately closed because maybe the questioner is asking how to use the software they are programming. In fact, what I'm asking seems to fit very well with the scope defined in the help center: It relates to "software tools commonly used by programmers; and is a practical, answerable problem that is unique to software development." Even in Excel this is not an intuitively known action. — Sirudol 38 secs ago

because this is community to help fellow programmers; probably half of new stackoverflow questions are already present. While users should not directly post questions blindly, if you are taking effort to answer a question, you need to trust that seeker and simply answer if you know it else skip. You are not supposed to push them away with comments like next time try google. And I have not looked at your reply, just wanted to let you know why I downvoted your reply. — user1242321 1 min ago

@FranMercaes PHP has been procedural in those days and today you can decide whether to continue writing procedural code or to switch to object oriented programming. That means there are some keywords like global which are not necessary anymore and I would not recommend to learn that old stuff. global always means global/static context which means no isolation of components which is bad practice for OOP programmers. But now to your problem: try to set your error_reporting to E_ALL. Maybe newer PHP versions have global marked deprecated or it's just a typo in your code? — Aitch 57 secs ago

This type of problem is studied in the part of mathematics known as design theory. Originally it was used to design experiments. I suggest asking on math.stackexchange.com (general mathematical question), or if you don't get responses there in a few days, then MathOverflow.net (research mathematics). Few programmers would be familiar with the tools developed in design theory for this type of problem. — Douglas Zare 46 secs ago

@Jongware: TBH, I don't know what it needs... I only recently discovered that this new sub-site of SO now exists, and I think it is a very good thing. There IS obviously a strong need for this type of questions, even from seasoned programmers, as soon as they encounter a field of technology they hadn't touched before. I've in the past been very reluctant to put up any flags or votes to close questions -- but now with this new site I'll have no problems to weigh in with my own votes to move such questions to softwarerecsSE. — Kurt Pfeifle 30 secs ago

I don't think is any typo. I copy/paste the code from the manual. My error_reporting is set to E_ALL in php.ini. I'm just curious why this happens I never used $GLOBAL or global because just like you said " is bad practice for OOP programmers" but in PHP Certification Study Guide Book they keep talking about global statement. Maybe is failing because the .phtml file where I was trying is part of ZF2 View. I really don't know. Just speculating. — FranMercaes 52 secs ago

Thank you for the explanation Aevitas! I reviewed your link....We feel the best Stack Overflow questions have a bit of source code in them, but if your question generally covers… a specific programming problem, or a software algorithm, or software tools commonly used by programmers; and is a practical, answerable problem that is unique to software development … then you’re in the right place to ask your question! — Mark 13 secs ago

@IraBaxter It's not me who's insistent. My boss wants output. I want to do more research and design, but it's "Try the most obvious attack schemes, even if they aren't great nor clear, and see what hits immediately. If it doesn't work, we move on to something else, although we're going to have to go back to this problem later." Trust me when I say I'd like to take a more systematic approach to the problem. You have over 45 years in the game -- maybe this is more a programmers.stackexchange problem, considering my 'plunging' isn't particularly an incompetency issue, but more a cultural one. ha — Mr_Spock 21 secs ago

@T.C.: I think careful tuning will always beat "static" compilers. There are many situations where programmers will know things compilers cannot and vice versa, especially with regard to how often various pieces of code will run when used in expected fashion. Perhaps a more useful "directive" would be to let compilers know which pieces of code will be executed super-often versus rarely, rather than whether or not to inline, but I think compilers will always need some "help" to get optimal results. — supercat 50 secs ago

What I am looking for does not seem to be a widespread practice. It is mostly some people looking at some specific selectors. What I want to do would be monitor all selector, test many pages and see if any selector is suspect. Of course all programmers should know about jQuery selectors and do efforts but you never know what you can find... Maybe some innocent looking selector is worse than you expected, maybe some external lib has a terrible selector in it... — Christophe Roussy 1 min ago
