Thanks @Quill!

btw, I was hoping to tick one for you, but I was expecting a bit more

That's okay, after I wrote it, it got shot to holes, so I didn't bother improving it,

Ethan's answer is pretty good though

I don't think so

Hmm, perhaps you're right

Feel free to give it to yourself, then

I cannot :)

actually I'm really curious what will happen there

@Quill Your answer is pretty good, just clean it up a bit and see what happens.

10:26 PM

I'll try and improve my answer, then

@Hosch250 Thanks, man, will do!

ok I'll check it tomorrow morning before the bounty expires

anyway, TTGTB

see you all tomorrow

See you.

night

This question is off topic for Stack Overflow and should be moved to codereview.stackexchange.com — uʍopǝpısdn just now

hmm. I also need sleep now.

@Duga Posting twice?

I'm surprised the system let you.

He says the code is working.

He isn't sure if it is production quality.

This might be more suited for codereview.stackexchange.com ? — NightShadeQueen 11 secs ago

This question could be suitable for Code Review, as long as (a) your code works as intended, (b) your code is real code, rather than example code, and (c) your code is included in the body of the question. If you wish for a peer review to improve all aspects of your code, please post it on Code Review and delete your question here on Stack Overflow. — Phrancis 48 secs ago

@Duga Fix yourself

Two different posts ;p

It's my handy copy-paste "3 questions" response

Oh.

Feel free to bookmark it ;)

I've seen poke before.

Should this question have all those tags?

10:49 PM

No

Looks like Ruby to me, but I'm no expert. It's certainly not Java nor JavaScript

I took away the tags, and they put them right back.

They didn't put them back, it's just their edit overrode yours

Q: Most Common Letter in string

Problem: Write a method that takes in a string. Your method should return the most common letter in the array, and a count of how many times it appears. Note: I solved it with Ruby, but the solution will be almost the same with Java, C++, C#, Javascript, Python, Perl or any other OOP language wh...

beginner strings ruby

Oh, I see.

@CaptainObvious There, now that looks good :)

10:55 PM

@SirPython - Actually, its language agnostic. For me, the algorithm is more important than the language used. — stack1 1 min ago

The problem I personally see with Ruby is the syntax is so cryptic that you almost need comments to explain how the code works

@Phrancis try BF

Sure, but BF doesn't parade as a production language ;)

Try ABAP then

o.O

11:03 PM

ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming, originally Allgemeiner Berichts-Aufbereitungs-Prozessor, German for "general report creation processor") is a high-level programming language created by the German software company SAP. It is currently positioned, alongside Java, as the language for programming the SAP Application Server, which is part of the NetWeaver platform for building business applications. == Introduction == ABAP is one of the many application-specific fourth-generation languages (4GLs) first developed in the 1980s. It was originally the report language for SAP R/2, a platform...

Hello, @EthanBierlein

@SirPython Wow.

@Phrancis I could turn it into a production language ;-)

In contrast to most other programming languages, spaces in the source code are highly relevant:

x = a+b(c).
assigns to variable x the substring of the variable a, starting from b with the length defined by the variable c.

x = a + b( c ).
assigns to variable x the sum of the variable a and the result of the call to method b with the parameter c.

11:07 PM

ABAP actually looks pretty interesting...

@EthanBierlein it is.

Especially if you understand German

So, what is it actually commercially used for?

Anywhere they run SAP

SAP? Please explain.

It's an ERP. High end, best I've seen.

11:10 PM

ERP? Plea- Never mind.

Highly customizable, works best in industrial production companies

ERP = enterprise resource programming?

Almost

@SirPython Enterprise Resource Planning

You know what, forget this Polish Notation nonsense. I'm gonna go make Brainfuck a legitimate language.

11:11 PM

@EthanBierlein ... it is a legitimate language

A legitimate joke

Legitimate as in, on-topic for CR

Nah, I'm gonna get rid of all those weird symbols, turn them into readable commands. Implement "procedures" of sorts, and variables.

@Mat'sMug How many lolcode questions do we have again, :P

@Quill not enough

@EthanBierlein That's the joke, :P lol

Huh? I thought I only had 2

@Phrancis Thanks!

Oh right Euler #1

11:14 PM

@Phrancis Or was that /sarcasm?

@Phrancis Google translate isn't cooperating

lol. I will do it though, just because it seems like it could be an interesting project.

@Mat'sMug It spells "Good luck!"

@Mat'sMug Google translate never cooperates.

11:16 PM

@Phrancis but of course! sarcastic-facepalm

@Phrancis I dare you to find something to BF-ize that can fit a Tweet

Q: Reusable, generic save method

This is my first post here, but I've been lurking for awhile. I am developing a Python script that will process large amounts of data from an experiment. Files are read in, calculations are made, images are plotted and saved as .pngs, and calculated parameters are outputted to a .txt file. When...

@CaptainObvious One more convert from SO!

I have a question about the review queue:

fire away!

11:26 PM

user image

What is that 3 in the top right corner?

Oooooo hand-drawn squiggles!

@SirPython caching and a global for all usrs, not just you.

@SirPython I have that too.

if you've skipped anything, then it will over-count in the status bar.

also, it is cached, and it is not personalized for you, but for everyone.

Ah, that makes sense. Although, it's a little bothersome. I find myself clicking it all day, waiting for the numbers to go away.

11:28 PM

fiunally, it only shows minimum 3.... if there's less than 3 it will be blank... so, even if the icon is not orange, there may be one or two things to review.

a number of bugs about this have been filed on various meta's ;-)

Best to clear it up here to avoid another meta post, then

A: Review Count - Fix It or Lose It

I really think it is important to have that number broadly accessible to the most trusted users on the site. If it's hanging there for too long, there is a problem. That said, I agree that there are issues with how it's displayed right now. I recommend the following: Maintain a "last viewed" ...

seems about the right place to start ^^^

If you want, you may find this suggestion useful too:

30

A: What privilege should 30k users get?

Realtime and smarter feeds Many processes in Stack Exchange are cached, or have delays, that enable the higher performance of the site. I propose that these caches are selectively removed for 30K users, and that feeds become personalized and more "real time". For example: Review Queue "icon...

Yeesh. 30k is a lot.

Not for @JonSkeet

Who?

;-)

11:39 PM

@rolfl Run before he finds you

@EthanBierlein I was just looking through is past reputation feed, and it looks like he's capped almost everyday for the past 5 years.

@SirPython He does not need to answer to cap.

What... How.... Wat wat awt twa head implodes

He just gets upvotes?

mhm

11:41 PM

If you have almost 32K answers on the site..... all you need is 0.032% of them to be upvoted each day....

On June 28, he answered 1 question. It got 2 votes. He got 200 rep, and then another 40 or more votes that were capped.

Does he get all those votes because he is so well known across SO and other SE sites?

Yup

Not really.

People don't just serial upvote him.

It is a lot of people just coming and his answer solves their problem - it's happened to me a few times.

Plus, he still is active, so I'm sure that helps somewhat.
