Writing code reviews on Stack Overflow. While it does help the OP, it feels wrong somewhere.

Ethan Bierlein

I would really be happy if the question was migrated to Code Review.

Mast

If it would be migrated, I'd probably modify this answer a bit to suit his needs:

A: n number of x on the y

I would take @Josay's suggestion one step further, and use more self-descriptive template parameters: template = '''\ {num} {things} on the {where} {num} {things} Take one down, pass it around {remaining} {things} on the {where} ''' And command line argument validation can be really easy using...

Or the one above that

A: n number of x on the y

Your code is simple and just works. For that reason, you can be happy and there is not much comment to give. However, being very picky just for the sake of learning, one could say various things. print statements You are using print without parenthesis. This is the one and only reason why your ...

.format is a cleaner way of what he's doing.

Ethan Bierlein

I'm going to mention that.

Mast

Have at it.

It will probably get migrated anyway. It should.

Ethan Bierlein

I flagged it for migration

It's still pending

No point in waiting with the answer till they've handled it :-)

Yea, flags on SO take a while sometimes.

Ethan Bierlein

I'm already writing it

Mast

Some go relatively fast, but I've seen many flags expire there.

Ethan Bierlein

It's already longer than some of my questions here.

Damn

Mast

Too long?

Ethan Bierlein

I saw the little (1) on the newest questions tab and I thought it was the Python one.

SO needs way more moderators then they currently have.

I swear, if they had 100 moderators, everything would be so much faster and smoother.

Mast

How many do they have? I thought they already had quite some few.

Not enough, obviously, but still.

Q: An ASP.NET MVC application architecture- is there a better way?

I'm building up my resume and thought it may be good to include how I like to structure new ASP.NET websites on my github profile. I like to think that this is onion architecture, but I'm not entirely sure. Can you guys take a look and give me some feedback? https://github.com/jdylanmc/Sample-...

Ethan Bierlein

They only have 18

Which is not enough really.

Mast

Well, it's a bit of a size problem. There's a practical max to the amount of moderators you can have on one community.

Zak

indeed. At some point, to keep having more, you'd have to have a way f determining which mods are actually around at any one time and actively portion flags etc. up between them

otherwise you end up getting mod overlap and duplication

Ethan Bierlein

Yeah, but if you have a flag that's been pending for half an hour, and there are at least 6 moderators currently active, then that might be a sign that you need a few more.

@Zak Not just that, communication will grind to a halt.

Ethan Bierlein

Whew

A: Is there a simpler, better, alternative way of coding this quadratic equation solver? [Python]

Repeating code infinitely Right now, in order to have QuadSolver repeat forever, you're calling it recursively, by calling QuadSolver again inside of itself. Unlike functional languages, which are optimized for tail-call recursion, Python isn't. Once you've recursed in the same function 1000 tim...
