This may be an "acceptable" question on Code Review, but in its current form it would not fare very well. Reference How do I ask a good question?.

@Duga but hey, they closed it as POB
 
it's also valid from a SO POV
reviews aren't "definitive answers"
not always at least

Some reviews are definitive... like "You should definitively not use VBA"

my top-voted question is ...
 
@Mat'sMug LOLCODE is called a weirdlang.

@EasterlyIrk actually... there's the brainduck...
soo... we got that covered
 
I liked whitespace more than BF actually.
didn't do much of either, but..
whitespace feels more.. complete.
I blame the heap
 
Now this is an esolang: esolangs.org/wiki/Emmental
 
@EasterlyIrk A fan of his created it.
 
lol
wait that's MS-Word!!
 
Yeah.
Like you said.

I can't tell if you guys are just in awe of Emmental or have no idea what a "meta-circular interpreter" means
Either way it's... delicious

In the esolang world, points are like spoons: there aren't any
 
@AquaTart We don't need the Emmental bug, we already have a much bigger one.
 
I saw that
 
no you didn't
 
FWIW Emmental is named after a kind of cheese

If your code is working, StackOverflow isn't the right place for your question. If you are asking for improvements on your code, you might find Code Review more helpful. — zondo 53 secs ago

@Elkman123 if your code doesn't work (at least what you posted), consider posting one of the parts that does work to Code Review. Just keep in mind that broken/malfunctioning code is off-topic there, but on the other hand if you cannot narrow it down to a more specific problem, Stack Overflow might not be able to help that great either... — Phrancis 18 secs ago

For just starting out I'd recommend getting a working version locally then worrying about deploying to Heroku.

very busy :)
just released at work a custom component and still occupied with new project
so atm no time for reviews at CR
 
lol :P
that's the way it goes with me as well
 
I was just looking at our Hudson, each programmer has a tab
I have 5 projects under mine name
witch is the highest number, along with 1 or 2 people
but that in 2.5 years working is a record I think :)
 
8:33 AM
why are end users so stupid
 
because they don't have our insight
and sometimes you have the "jerks" also. When there is pointed only numbers allowed they will enter letters to see what will happen
 
every report i haev for our software says "it doesn't work"
and no more info
 
just checked, I'm the only one with 5 projects, second in place have 4 projects
@DanPantry not even a link of the page?
 
@chillworld eh, it's a web app, no way to provide a link
 
is every page the same link with you?
I create also webapps but I have different links for different pages
 
8:42 AM
yeah, we do, but this issue is with a modal which does not have a link
 
indeed, modals doesn't have links
close incident with reason, "unable to recreate the issue with the data provided. Please be more detailed with steps to reproduce this issue if issue still present."
It's still nice and you ask for more details next time they make a report
so if this doesn't help keep closing them like that. You are covered because you can point out that you ask for better reports
 
I do have the info I need but only with some digging
 
stacktraces in logging?
 
nah, just from the way the issue was described "I can't do X but Y team can do it"
its basically an issue that a field is being displayed to a user that should not be
 
ah lol :)
that's always a problem
I have also application where a there is a Boolean "restricted" in the model
restriced objects can't be seen if you don't have the permission
but normal users can't see that field if they create the object
so they have no clue it exist
 
8:50 AM
yay. I wrote some code to post for a change :-)
 
but a lot of work in the services to separate normal users with the restricted users for the query

We use a ticket incident system where users email an internal email address with issues
 
May 3rd it is.
 
So someone raised an issue yesterday. I looked at it today and closed it because it is a known issue.
Closing an issue sends an email to the person who raised it
 
Now somebody left a thank-you note instead?
 
So I closed the issue, which sent an email to the person who raised the issue.. which hit an auto-reply because they were out of the office. The auto reply was sent back to the issue system which reopened the ticket because it received a reply.
 
@DanPantry Wouldn't that make it a duplicate instead of a closed issue?

oh SNAP
System.out.println(BaseConverter.changeBase(""+0x7FFF_FFFF_FFFF_FFFFL, 10, 16, true));

In information theory and computer science, the Levenshtein distance is a string metric for measuring the difference between two sequences. Informally, the Levenshtein distance between two words is the minimum number of single-character edits (i.e. insertions, deletions or substitutions) required to change one word into the other. It is named after Vladimir Levenshtein, who considered this distance in 1965. Levenshtein distance may also be referred to as edit distance, although that may also denote a larger family of distance metrics. It is closely related to pairwise string alignments. =...
using that might help

Maybe, but it's probably going to produce a lot of false positives
 
when I was doing data matching with listing counts at the 200000 mark, case insensitive got about 40% and levenshtein got about 60%
2000 isn't that many to manually match anyway
 
Kaz
No, it's not. I could do them all in about 8 hours.
It's just a pain.
 
yeah

maybe the link traveled through facebook to some people in Brazil as well?
@DanPantry I don't recall seeing them in chat...
 
IIRC JNat is as well
There was a location query thing someone made a while ago
 
Kaz
Oh wait, managed to get another 10% gone.
