@Duga OP designed a backspace key?
 
@AlG Please vote to close as "too broad". "Belongs on Code Review", or anything like that really isn't a valid close reason. — Ethan Bierlein 41 secs ago
 
@200_success SO's tag wiki seems to indicate exactly that
But there's contradictory information all over the place
 
I'm asking if there should be a specific off-topic reason created.
 
Oh

Q: Is this the best way to design Backspace key in C#?

naoufI am new to C#. I have designed a Backspace button (part of a keyboard which I am designing) in windows forms and it works perfect with no errors (the code works very good). This button deletes what is inside the textbox. I just want to see other people's views and what they think about my code, ...

 
Question has been cross-posted on Code Review; should be deleted here on Stack Overflow. — 200_success 10 secs ago
 
@TopinFrassi ah, right. Well that explains a lot.

@EthanBierlein Technically, we are both wrong. Meta states it should be a flag to move, not a vote. — AlG 37 secs ago

If this code really works, then it might be better suited for CodeReview. — Turing85 39 secs ago
agree with @Turing85 CodeReviewgonzo 31 secs ago
 
@200_success great, so there's the priority list! CR design: nowhere.
 
@Mat'sMug (6-8 weeks) * 12?
 
can we be a little more positive??
 
@Mat'sMug Oh, we are probably on the list after that.
After they finished the redesigns.
 
@Vogel612 Yeah. The community rocks. That's positive. :p
 
8:50 PM
Because it's almost Friday:
> “Chris Columbus says Pixels is better than Frozen.”
I happen to agree.
The music is also way, way better.
 
Is Pixels good? I kinda wonder if I want to watch it or not
 
@TopinFrassi I watched it with my wife in the cinema and we thought it was hilarious.
 
@Mast That's funny, I always thought you were kinda young. How old are you? :p (In my young mind, being married implies like... 28>)
Cool I'll probably watch it! I love these kind of movies
 
 
those are voxels

8:59 PM
voxels?
Ah, yes
 
yeah, that pacman
 
3D pixels
Well, all movies can be seen in 3D nowadays
So that may explain it

if this code is working, bring it to Code Review SE, they are better suited for what you want — R Nar 20 secs ago
Thanks, I didn't even know Code review SE was a thin... told you I was new.. — Mr Matt 45 secs ago
 
@Duga 10 to 1 that somebody is going to tell OP about regex

@TopinFrassi lol
 
@Phrancis Talking about that, you used to do.. create digital music or something like that? Is this still something you do?
 
@TopinFrassi Yes
 
Cool! Is there any place we can listen to what you do?
 
9:12 PM
Though I have been working mostly on rock music lately, a local band hired us to write accompaniments for all 9 songs on their upcoming album
 
@TopinFrassi I think I'll rename to Toaster
@TopinFrassi He makes very awesome music. I got Psych-Nein on my traval-music stick.
 
@Phrancis That's really nice!
Do you play an instrument in particular?
@Mast Ahah, your name is getting too close to being closed as duplicate
 
ruffles through old screenshots
 
@Phrancis "Content blocked by my organization" D: I'll listen to it at home. Heck, they even block outlook lol
 
@TopinFrassi Not really, I mostly write it on the computer. I used to play saxophone years ago but have not played in a long long time
 
9:16 PM
@Phrancis It's still quite a feat :p
 
I'd like to get one of those electronic wind controller instruments one day
 
@Phrancis The thing with two antennas that you shake your hands around to make music?

Q: How do I clean this up

Mr MattPardon if this is silly, but I'm pretty new to coding. I have this code, that works, but I feel like it could be tighter than this, I just can't seem to get it to work any other way. The idea is to read a .txt file find incoming e-mail strings and organize the data by frequency of hour sent. Her...

@Mast I'll rename to Mats
Brace yourself, confusion is coming
 
9:19 PM
You wouldn't dare :P
 
@ImmoralWombat: Regarding your flag on moving this question to the correct site, I'm not 100% sure Code Review will be any better than Stack Overflow. See meta.stackexchange.com/questions/129598/…. — Matt ♦ 46 secs ago
 
@Duga Hey, there's Matt
 
@TopinFrassi no lol. It's like a a clarinet but generates MIDI data when you play it, that you send to the computer
 
@Phrancis ooooohhhh :p
 
Like an electronic piano or vdrums but with different controls (including wind pressure sensors that record a signal)
 
9:21 PM
@Mast Ahah, that would make a mess. Though it would be funny for a little while
 
@TopinFrassi I don't think there's anything in the EULA/TOS keeping you from it. Just be aware you can only change your username every 30 days or so.
If there are enough people with a similar name we may be able to force the issue on meta.
gets evil ideas
 
@Mast Yeah I know I could do it. But you know, 30 days long joke is long :p
 
Mat, Matt, Mat's Mug, Mast, Matt's Mug, Mast's Mug, Mat's Mast, how many would we need till people see how hard naming REALLY is?
 
@Mast I think that number is enough. Ahah
 
Oct 30 at 15:31, by Zak
Now I'm thinking I should create accounts called @Mat's Mast and @Mast's Mat
To get really confusing, somebody could name himself Mats

should we throw in d's in the mix?

@Mast I'll rename to Mats
:p
@Vogel612 mad's mug? :D
 
Mad, Mads, Mad's Mug, Mads' Mug, ...
 
mat's mud
 
@Vogel612 That could actually work
 
TTGH, 'night folks!
 
9:30 PM
But if we're exchanging letters, extra M's would be more confusing than switching a t for a d.
Mam's Mug?
 
@Phrancis Wow.
 
The Matt sat on the matte mat.
 
Updated, made it mroe accurate by leaving out the 'mar%' like Martins and such
 
Still 659 left

@Phrancis shouldn't the DisplayName select be Select DisplayName as [User Link]?
 
9:51 PM
@Vogel612 by SQL standard yes, but TSQL allows the alternative syntax
Although, SEDE doesn't recognize it
Ah, it's supposed to be on the ID
lol @ that name
 
@Phrancis The inconsistency is strong with this one.

Jon RobyI am creating a blog using React, MongoDB, Express and Node. I have three components: App, List, and Item.

Q: Am I misunderstanding the basis for Code Review?

Simon ShineI posted a question that seems to have gotten some commentless downvotes. Fetching a set of event IDs from a database based on a set of company IDs Keeping it meta, did I misunderstand something about the intended purpose of Code Review? I suspect having had the word "style" in the question l...

 
@StackExchange Actually interesting. I dont' see anything wrong with his original question, even when it wasn't edited, except maybe the title.
 
Maybe the subject matter was too narrow?
 
10:19 PM
@TheCoffeeCup I'm pretty sure "quoteblocked" codeblocks also trigger it
 
@Phrancis Oh.
 
@DanPantry It's an "A vs. B" question, those don't usually get as well received
 
@Phrancis I just posted a comment about that.
 
@Phrancis We have a tag for it. Perhaps it should be tagged.
But, in my opinion, we should declare that tag out-of-scope.

Q: Clean string method for a recusrion palindrome java program?

Thank you. I had not expected to have learned more about code review by having my code review reviewed, but since code review is already meta, going one level deeper sort of makes sense. :) — Simon Shine 38 mins ago
