I know you are an editor but why was my comment deleted? Are you the only one who can make puns? My comment was relevant in that you've edited your answer in response to it. You should have left my comment alone and added your own like "Doh! Fixed. Thx". Instead you've overstepped your editorial bounds. — Rick Davin 1 hour ago

A: Race Track Fuel problem

nhgrifNo. @f'''s answer is excellent, but it makes one assumption: that the car's gas tank has enough capacity to make an entire lap. This answer assumes that the car's tank has a capacity higher than the total amount of fuel it takes to make a lap. If you can't carry enough fuel for the wh...

@SimonAndréForsberg All you did was move the assumption from one place to another.
Now you're assuming the car has cargo capacity for the cans.
 
I've migrated the "code review" part of your question to Code Review, but tried to keep the "it doesn't work" part of your question here (where 027's answer is great). In future, please only ask one question per question :). — Matt ♦ 18 secs ago

Q: Design-Independent Graduation is on for early September!

@Quill Don't we already have some of that?
 
Not exactly
 
Hey, @SirPython I have a strange bug that I can't fix, could you take a look at it in JavaScript libraries
 
Graduation was promissed a long time ago
 
@Quill Sure. I'll join in a second.
 
2:37 PM
thanks :-)
 
@Zak Code Review has already graduated. It has had elections, and so on. What it does not have is a design, and reputation changes. The latest round of design independent progress would have allowed Code Review to also have community ads, migration paths, etc... but, as a community, the consensus was that the most important next steps would be rep changes, and since that is still linked to site design, we were not that enthusiastic about participating in another test run of smaller features
We would rather wait for the important features to be ready, and then go the rest of the way in a single step.
 
Zak
@rolfl Thanks for clearing that up :)
 
Well, that's the nice way of presenting what I think happened.... ;-)

Q: Would you like to test design-independent graduation?

PopsIt's been over a month since the last graduation update and your new mods are settled in. Time for more news! First, a quick recap. As many of you know, we on the SE team approved Code Review for graduation a long time ago, and then tripped up on delivering most of the actual features of graduat...

> Update: based on the reaction below, we are not going to start the trial of design-independent graduation for you today (or at any planned time). For the longer-term future: as usual, you should hear from us here on meta before any major changes occur.
The cynical side of me thinks that we pissed off the community managers, and they are frustrated by the community.
I genuinely think that Code Review has been a real thorn in the side of the SE staff. We have been remarkably successful despite not fitting the model they believe stack exchange follows. We don't "fit the mold". So everything about us is somewhat "exceptional" - we are different.
We have been "fighting" for graduation, and there's technical and process problems that are entirely the fault of the SE "process", and they can't just throw a switch to make it happen, so it's hard to just graduate us when taken in to the context of the priorities of Stack Exchange as a whole
 
I think that's likely @rolfl.
I think they thought we'd be excited about the half assed "graduation" they were proposing.
 
So, some of the CM's, Pops, and others, have been "on our side" for the most part, and trying to give us small parts..... and our "no" answer (it was not actually a "no", it was just a very unenthusiastic "well, if you insist") .... has upset them.
 
2:47 PM
I don't think they expected us to say no.
Yeah. Not blaming Pops. I know he's been fighting for changes for a long time.
 
On the whole, I think it will drop the priority of Code Review's final graduation "a long way", but there's been no communication since then, and I don't expect any.
 
I don't either.

@philn: There's codereview.stackexchange for that sort of thing. But in this case: Make it a static class, make the Stopwatch readonly, use Restart instead of Reset and Start.

Q: I'm seeing stars! (I can see who starred a message and so can you)

DoorknobSo I was making a chatbot in Ruby for SE chat, and I discovered that I could find out the starrer of a message. I'm pretty sure stars, like votes, are supposed to be anonymous.

@Jamal It is, unfortunately, still the internet.

Yet, CR still rarely gets spam. I guess that will change after more visibility from full graduation.

@Jamal probably just a function of us not being very search-engine-friendly :)
 
5:47 PM
@Jamal Flagged.
@Jamal SO will keep taking the brunt of it. Although the amount of feature-requests and other off-topic questions we get will probably rise.
 
@Zak Which is also bad, as that's much needed for all sites. This is also why fixing bad titles are important. No one searches for "how i can improve code" or anything like that.

Q: Making my underscore template code more manageable

stylerI currently have what seems to be a very overly complicated underscore template full of conditionals and as the data grows I'm worried the conditions are going to get more and more extreme. Can anyone advise how I could make this template logic a little easier for my inputs, right now I'm running...

 
Zak
@Jamal True, but even with good titles, I'd argue that the kind of questions we get on CR are not very friendly to search engines by their very nature
 
Right, and SO would take precedence anyway.

@Jamal tbh, this could be a good thing
I'm not sure what it'd do to the nature of the site if we got a large influx of new users who haven't come through other parts of the SE network first.

Zak
@EthanBierlein I think anyone who googles "Review my code" is probably someone we'd be happy to have on the site. I was thinking more along the lines of people searching for programming help who often end up on SO with no idea what the rules are, and go and post simple/duplicate/off-topic questions.
 
@CaptainObvious Broken?
 
@IsmaelMiguel It's not broken, it's just... void of content and/or context? The snippet works (if you open in full screen mode). I voted as "Unclear"

Pimping SO answer to that question (which was originally on CR).
 
Since when is the 0 in 1.01 not considered a signifcant number?
 
@JeroenVannevel It is.
Where do you get that idea from?
 
> What you are referring to is significant figures
But he is referring to signifcant numbers while excluding the '0' significant numbers
 
He's excluding preceeding 0's.
 
Which are significant..
So we're not just talking about significant numbers
 
7:19 PM
No, they are not.
 
This is something I don't know what it is
I'm surprised the C++ implementation works like that in the first place
 
@JeroenVannevel We are talking about significant digits.
Or significant figures.
 
I know. But when you write 0.003 with setPrecision(5) then I expect it to return 0.00300, not 0.0030000
I know what they are
 
You've confused me.
My implementation formats it as significant figures.
 
Look at his example input/output for C++:
test = 0.00012345678906;  out << test << '\n'; // 0.0001234567891
 
7:22 PM
Right.
 
the C++ implementation doesn't consider the 0.000 as part of the significant number
it starts counting after that
That's a precision of 10 with 13 significant numbers
 
It's not part of it...lol
 
it just doesn't make sense
yes it is
 
No, it's 10 significant numbers.
 
0.0001 is 4 significant numbers
 
7:23 PM
Leading 0's are never significant.
Read that Wikipedia article.
 
It's not a leading 0 if it's behind the comma
 
Yes it is.
Because it would properly be written as an exponent.
Or scientific notation, I should say.
 
hmm. I guess I was under the wrong impression about this all my life
 
Heh, it happens.
Also, I used the C#6.0 $ string interpolation in that code, and I absolutely love it.
 
oh yeah, it's sexy

Occasionally I am inspired to change my system defaults when something convincing is suggested to me.

Well, i have already reduced (by 1) the font-size of my default terminal font, so I now have more info on screen, and it's still just as readabl.e
 
I was doing a conference call with a guy who was sharing his screen, and his code was showing in fixedsys font. It was yucky.
I didn't even know they still bundled that font with Windows...
 
Oh god!
 
Hmmm... interesting, I thought I would compare screenshots of three fonts, Hack, Mono, and Droid.... but it appears that Hack has a different "Y" size for a given font size.
 
That looks good on a terminal
 
When I change the font to hack, I get fewer lines in my terminal.... for the same font size. I don't understand.
 
7:48 PM
Maybe it has less height?
 
Could have different line spacing, you might also be able to adjust that
 
That too
 
Well, I get more lines if I reduce the font size by 1, which is what I had done... so I guess it is how you look at things.

@Jamal IT seems like a legitimate style question.
 
@Jamal It seems like a question of "Should I do this?" instead of a request to review code.

That doesn't seem to be the full code, but does also seem to be enough code
So, I'm divided
Maybe it is both?
 
Zak
@IsmaelMiguel I'd say it's enough code to review what the OP wants reviewed
 
And what does the O.P. want reviewed?
 
Zak
@IsmaelMiguel I'd say it's a style/readability question. Admittedly, a very focused one, but legitimate nonetheless.
 
8:33 PM
Yes, it is
But there's another side-question
> Should I remove redundant units, or should I disable this warning?
Basically, this question is a race for someone to say: "Yes, it's ok like that"
Or "No, units are required"

I'd say it's definitely a borderline question, but I'd be inclined to let it stand.

Oh, there's a bug or two with the ignore code.
When you have multiple computers, and ignore in one, you don't ignore in the others until you refresh.
Also, the icons on the right get a "break" in them when you ignore someone... let me screen-shot.

Q: Ignoring somebody screws up the avatar list

elyseWhen I ignore a user, the avatar list looks weird. The blank line beneath the row with the avatar of the ignoree is quite annoying. I use Google Chrome on OS X. There was a question tagged status-completed but it still looks weird.

Id for first object is configured by user and second id is received at some point during runtime. Example code: http://repl.it/BE5N Is there smarter way to load/save second ids from/to a f...

Q: Why would my male cat's nipple fall off?

Katie HurleyI have a 10 year old slightly obese indoor cat. Recently I was petting his stomach and thought I found what may have been a scab. I scrapped it gently with my finger nail before I had the hair completely clear from the space (to get a better look) and it fell right off. When I was able to clea...

hot network question right there

@Quill If I had a cat and something that potentially serious happened to it, I don't think I would wait a week to take it to the vet.

Q: Reverse engineering Darkstone game archives

The bulk of the game's data is stored in archive files with the .MTF extension (not related to the Microsoft Tape Format). A partial description for this file format can...

@Quill Especially on male cats...
 
Still need to find the off-by-one error. Tip: all your indices are wrong. Just look at your equation on top. More importantly: never ask a question "for a verification". Stackoverflow is mostly for helping you with precise, well-defined problems in your programs. As in "this is supposed to print "3" but instead it paints the Mona Lisa". If you are looking for someone to take a look at your code and tell you what they think, go to codereview.SE, as paddy suggested in the first comment. — Andras Deak 5 secs ago
This is not a code review site. You need to do as reinierpost suggested and read this help article, How to create a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example and repost your question. — JeffC 24 secs ago
