So, according to my polynomial equation, the population of CR will be 150000 at 378.09 weeks past inception
 
@Quill I take the liberty to contest that.
 
My polynomial equation has a 99.77% accuracy
It has limitations, like any model
 
wrt. the currently available data
 
available data accessible from the last sunday, presented by SEDE
 
11:02 PM
I expect that growth will increase again, when graduation gets through to other sites
 
That's a limitation of the model, of course
 
sure, that's why I'm contesting it :)
3 more candidates until preliminaries
 
@Vogel612 That, it is...
 
well it's not good for much else :D
 
Right.
 
11:04 PM
Use this formula to work out at months the population `P` at `x` months.
`P - 2877.7 = 0.8866(x)^2 + 53.903(x)`
 
Speaking of Swing...

Q: Append user input to a database

PhrancisThis is my first time writing a Swing+Groovy application that successfully inserts data to SQL tables. It may look like example code, but it is more test code, as I will eventually expand this to a much bigger application, and would like to see if I can improve it before expanding it. What it d...

 
@Phrancis seen and upvoted, but no clue how I'd even go about reviewing that
 
Yeah, just rearranged out the plain value
 
I have the lowest Upvote:Downvote ratio of all the current candidates.

A: What would you say is the biggest problem Code Review is facing as a site as of June 2015?

nhgrifNot enough downvotes. The only questions I see with a negative score are questions that are either on hold, closed, deleted, or accumulating close votes on their way to being put on hold. Frequently, I'll find that my downvote is the only downvote on a post. Often times, I feel that a post's s...

 
Markdown choses the worst moments too
 
11:06 PM
@nhgrif some people seem to see this as a not really positive point..
 
The ability to discern the difference between things that do and don't deserve upvotes?
 
@Vogel612 Now that I think about it, validating data before shoving it into a SQL table might be a good idea. If you have any ideas on that, it would certainly make for some useful answer :)
 
the whole "We need more repz" is still a thing, it seems
 
People who post quality posts need more rep, sure.
 
@nhgrif stop. we don't disagree
no point in trying to start an argument over that
 
11:07 PM
But it's impossible to tell the difference between a post that's great, a post that's good, a post that's completely mediocre, and a post that's bad but not technically wrong...
 
@QPaysTaxes you capped out, be quiet....
 
@QPaysTaxes Yes, that's exactly who it should be limited. Or not who so much as what.
Good posts are the only things that should be upvoted.
 
@QPaysTaxes I'm not sure he was talking to you...
nevermind then...
 
dinner time
 
@nhgrif Yeah, it's hard for me to tell how good a Java answer is, and it may be great but have no upvotes
It's a system not without flaws
Also, enjoy dinner
 
11:10 PM
I'll grab a night's sleep now
I'll probably not be around much tomorrow, so until then

Q: Sum of Multiples

Fabián H. jr.A different approach than this question, this time without using arithmetic progression. The README specs both sumOfMultiples and sumOfMultiplesDefault and the code passes the test suit. module SumOfMultiples (sumOfMultiples ,sumOfMultiplesDefault ) where sumOfMultiples :: [Integer] ->

 
@Vogel612 'Night, good work with all the questions for candidates
 
, strange tag
Even stranger website
brb meeting
 
Thanks santas.
Our answer rate is up to 95%!!!

Cortana said we have a severe thunderstorm warning.
 
I don't sorry :P
 
@Hosch250 Thanks for the vote. But I am why to blunt and not diplomatic enough dont take criticism well hate other people too much like trolling and just a bad person, not good traits for a moderator.
 
OK.
 
Also can't spell should be added to that list.
 
@200_success Time to announce whether you are running.

Puzzle: What does this do in C++? [&list](){}();

A: Do we need any more [programming] [practice]?

Hosch250programming - that is what the site is about. Are we going to tag every question with it? practice - we all need practice. On a serious note, I don't see how this tag adds any value to the site either. Perhaps if someone created a tag wiki I would understand it better, but I have a hard time ...

@LokiAstari That looks like something a code golfer would use.
 
@Hosch250 BURN THEM!
 
I was using it to remove the "unused variable" warning.
 
@Donald.McLean Then upvote me!
Supper time, BBL.
 
@LokiAstari I've seen this somewhere in an SO post...
 
11:31 PM
@SirPython Creates an empty lambda then calls it. The variable list is bound by reference and thus is used. So you no longer get the "unused variable" warning.
 
@LokiAstari The only right answer is: Doesn't matter. Don't write stuff like this in production code.
 
@QPaysTaxes You should add an answer here: codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/94901/… so it can be upvoted.
@nhgrif Come up with a portable alternative for slectely removing the "unused variable" warning and I'll think about it.
 
Don't have unused variables?
Also, isn't that potentially a compiler-specific problem?
 
Not always possible. Especially when dealing with template code.
 
#pragma unused(variableName)
 
11:36 PM
That's not portable.
Or should I say. Not universal in removing the warning.
 
#ifdef UNUSED
#elif defined(__GNUC__)
# define UNUSED(x) UNUSED_ ## x __attribute__((unused))
#elif defined(__LCLINT__)
# define UNUSED(x) /*@unused@*/ x
#else
# define UNUSED(x) x
#endif
 
Since I compile my code warning free (as warning are really errors).

A: What is the best way to supress "Unused variable x"-warning

Edward LenoFound an article http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/languages/C/unused.html that explains UNUSED. Interesting that the author also mangles the unused variable name so you can't inadvertently use it in the future. Excerpt: #ifdef UNUSED #elif defined(__GNUC__) # define UNUSED(x) UNUSED_ ## x...

Does that work @LokiAstari?
 
Don't like define UNUSED(x) x as that may not help.
That's an alternative: template<typename T> inline void unused(T const&){}

Q: Set Game State from String

EmzBefore I used reflection to invoke a state based on the string. It looked like this. public void setState (String state) { try { this.state = (State) Class.forName("state"+state).getConstructor().newInstance(); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println ("Tried to set sta...

Q: Getting the average of one value from a list of tuples with PySpark

JasonAizkalnsGiven a list of tuples of the form, (a, b, c), what are some ways of calculating the average of all the c's with pySpark? ds = sc.parallelize([(1,2,3), (4,5,6), (7,8,9)] total = (ds .map(lambda (a,b,c): d) .reduce(lambda x, y: x + y) num = ds.count() average = total / num # in...

Hey, good luck on mod election!
@QPaysTaxes hi
 
@QPaysTaxes No, you're misreading it again!
 
@LokiAstari If you are getting the R# unused variable error, they have a comment you can use to disable it once.
 
Okay, time to sleep. I hope there will be less messages here tomorrow, will make it easier to catch up.
Also, my mom has a birthday tomorrow, so I won't be here that much then.
