urk... OP really needs a lesson in politeness
@EthanBierlein just don't talk to the troll please
 
Just stop messing with it until a mod gets into it.
 
just back off.. you're not equipped to handle this and you don't need to :)

Yup. No more comments.
 
Let the edit be made, and then flag it as appropriate, and then let a mod deal with it.

I've flagged it already.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO not that damned song wise words
 
@Phrancis the one from Frozen or the one that I know from Eric Clapton?
 
Why is it CV'd as "Too Broad"?
 
5:02 PM
@Vogel612 I was thinking the one from Frozen (which is probably also the one Mug was thinking - he has kids after all)
I need to go check out the Clapton version now
 
@EBrown because it's a chameleon question
 
It doesn't deserve a CV.
 
nope.. it deserves a lock and a small reminder for OP to ... let it go ....
also please don't revenge-downvote

@Vogel612 No kidding. It has 2 DV's which it doesn't deserve either.

I won't revenge downvote, but isn't it illegal for the OP to DV all the answers to try to get them to delete them?
 
Sorry, that was me
 
It's +5/-2 now.
 
+6/-1 now
 
5:07 PM
@Hosch250 yea it is, and if necessary it'll be reverted
 
@Hosch250 IIRC answers cannot be deleted if they have any +'s to where they are >= 0.
 
The OP can delete them.
 
You know what I meant.
 
as well as mods... 20ks can delete answers with score -1 (or lower)

That last sentence is a bit rude.
Probably part of what he's referring to.
 
@Mat'sMug @200_success we could really use your help here :/
 
Plus the fact that the rollbacks were constantly immediately applied rather than waiting for a mod to assist in the situation.
 
Where?

rollback war and insults flying around
 
OK, last comment made. walks away quickly
 
No kidding.
We all need to be a more tactful when dealing with a situation like this.

@Phrancis oh jeebus I didn't even see that.. can someone please undelete the answer, too?
 
@200_success @Vogel612 suggested that it should be undeleted
It's quite a good answer methinks
 
It was probably deleted for a reason.
 
> which was deleted in protest of the OP's attitude.
 
@Mast Perhaps we should leave it that way.
In my opinion, I would be furious if people started undeleting answers of mine that I deleted, regardless of reason.
 
5:33 PM
Depends on how strict you want to enforce policy.
People get furious about all kinds of stuff.
I get itchy when people edit my posts with superfluous edits which don't increase readability. Fixing spelling is ok, re-phrasing something because the editor likes it better that way is a whole different ballpark.
Thing is, as author you can do two things:

1. Walk away.
2. Roll-back.
3. Find middle ground.
 
It wouldn't hurt to ask, though we may never get an answer. Answerer still active on here. One way or the other though, the comments thread on that answer ... ouch
 
But in the end, the policy dictates what sticks.
@Phrancis Comments aren't forever, those can be whiped.
@CommitStrip I don't get it. A BST is a thing in CS land, right?
 
Oh, now he's lashing out in random places.
and fyi, i'm not frustrated, i'm p¡$$ed. this enire community is toxic and i if i could delete from my SE account, i would. I've only ever had one good exchange on this community, the resy have all been answered with smug, know-it-all, keyboard jocks who think because they can voluntarily moderate a site, they suddenly have some great power and deserve more respect than they give. I'll delete this comment in a second, but your the first i've seen to not answer like a jerk. please just help me delete that question or remove me from it. i don't want it associated with my acc anymore. — SpYk3HH 9 mins ago

@Mast Yeah.
 
5:44 PM
@EBrown So where's the joke?
 
@Mast Not sure.
 
@Mast a lot of devs don't ever need to write their own BST
 
The joke on me was that was the only part I didn't understand.
 
let alone perfom the nonsensical part of traversing it the way given in the assignment
 
Ah, so it's a poke at stupid sollicitation questions?

I'm hugely unaware of what devs are supposed to be able to do.
 
5:47 PM
@Mast I'm pretty sure
 
it hugely depends on the employer from my (rather very limited) experience
 
@Duga Off topic here, but not wanting to get into a potential war again.
 
I think "adapt" is probably as close as you can get

@snakecharmerb It's not on-topic for Code Review and I will not comment on whether it is for programmers. Keep in mind that suggestions like those are only useful if you're familiar with the scope of said sites. The gist of it can be found here and here. — Mast 37 secs ago

Well this has been an entire day wasted at the expense of Visual Studio...thanks Microsoft.
 
what did it do?
 
Anyone interested in learning how to conduct home brain surgery?
 
@EBrown sounds about right...
 
@DanLyons I started an update for it at 0300, and it's still running at 1415.
Almost 12 hours already.
 
6:16 PM
ouch
 
Stupid friggin programme.
Microsoft needs to get their stuff together.
 
Update1 didn't go well for me, so for Update 2, I just did a fresh install
 
I'm getting tired of everything from them not working.
This is update 1.
And it's been doing update 1 for a while.
I started it this morning before I went to bed hoping it would be done by the time I got up.
 
I don't remember it taking very long, but it was all kinds of broken for me when it was done
 
So maybe it'll be done before I get home from work.
 
6:17 PM
@EBrown I had to install my copy overnight
 
@Phrancis That basically is my overnight.
 
Oh, right
 
(Work from 1400 to 0230 daily.)
 
Maybe you should try Java, IntelliJ installed in a matter of minutes ;)
/s
 
I'll pass on that.
I'll just let Update 1 run, then tomorrow I'll get to work on what I needed to work on.
Then I'll do Update 2 when Update 3 comes out.
 
6:19 PM
it may be quicker to download the ISO that gives you a fresh install with Update 1 and run that
 
Meh, I have no idea what I'll do.

Oh well, I'll just start the download for Arma 3 when I go to work. Hopefully that will be done when Visual Studio finishes.
 
@EBrown Arma 3 is big, takes a while. Visual Studio is slow, could take even longer.
 
6:23 PM
@Mast Yep. Hopefully one of them will be done by the time I get home.
Unless my PC reboots because Microsoft Windows.
 
Or the whole thing freezing up.
Or another 100 reasons.
 
Yep.
 
Hey, I know one reason that will almost certainly happen.
Your PC will probably go to sleep 15 minutes after leave it.
 
Nope. I put an end to that.
 
You need to set it to not go to sleep, but to let the screen turn off.
 
6:25 PM
The screen is set to turn off after 1 minute.
But never does.
#SettingFail
 
Cool. I use that, and mine does.
 
#GoMicrosoft
Mine doesn't. I lock my PC when I go to work, and when I get home the screens are all still on.
My Mac does everything fine though, weird how that works.
/shrug
 
Perhaps a background process is keeping it active?
 
Huh. Check your settings again. There are a few that need to be adjusted when you do that.
 
@EBrown eh, hardly surprised; I have about the same experience to report
 
6:26 PM
I have no idea. At this point I just shut the display off on my own.
I'm going to get a switch mounted so I can shut all my displays off with the flick of one switch.
 
You need to go into the advanced power settings.
 
I did.
 
OK.
 
At this point, I don't even care.
 
declare _years cursor for /*here be dragons*/
Cursors are #Fun
 
6:30 PM
Yeah they are.
 
I read that as "Cursors are. Fun." (They exist.)
Makes it sound like you are happy they exist.
 
@Mast Arma 3 is only an 11GB download (takes 15GB of space).
 
@Hosch250 I am happy they exists, for when I need them :)
 
Hi, @RonakAgrawal.
 
hi
i am looking for some OOP inputs when designing a cricket game,(not the actualy game, just identify classes, and identify the system as a whole)
is this the right forum to ask?
hi @Hosch250
 
6:33 PM
codereview is definitely not the right "forum" to ask on @RonakAgrawal
 
Sounds like it maybe should be for Programmers.
 
Code Review is for when you already implemented your Cricket game and it fully works
 
oh. Okay, thanks for redirection
 
Or at least, some parts of it work, which you'd like reviewed for improvements
 
Just be sure to ask them first because they have an unpredictable scope.
 
6:34 PM
I almost wonder if we shouldn't have a "Programme Architecture" or something SE site for questions like that. Because I'm pretty sure Programmers will shoot it down.
 
@EBrown I'd follow that site. That is where I need the most work just now.
 
people wouldn't find it. they'd go looking for "Program Architecture" instead
 
I might write up an Area51 proposal for it.
 
I am kind of having conflicts with SOLID OOP principle implementation, so I am not sure which 'category' this falls in
 
@EBrown I'm on it.
 
6:36 PM
do we have a 'design review' as a forum on this network?
 
@Hosch250 Don't worry, I'm working on it.
@Mat'sMug >.>
 
Oh, OK.
 
@RonakAgrawal nope not really..
 
@Mat'sMug @Hosch250 "Software Design"
 
it's kind of falling between the chairs
 
6:36 PM
@RonakAgrawal We are creating a proposal for it.
 
oh. okay, great. that would definitely help. so currently, i think 'programmers' is the way
thanks. have a good day
 
You as well
 
Currently searching through all existing proposals to see if there's a similar enough one.
 
My thing for Roslyn is getting revised.
They said it was too heavy-handed, so they split it into three analyzers (really, one with three options), and we found a bug of sorts.
It currently ignores cast integers, but they are going to make it find the values that it supports through the cast and add the others.
 
The problem I see is that the scope could very heavily overlap with Programmers and Code Review.
 
6:39 PM
Not CR. CR reviews the code, but won't accept design reviews.
 
@EBrown meh... not if it's outlined to fill the cracks in between
 
It will comment on the design review only if it is secondary to the question.
We have to have full, working code; this site won't--in fact, this site will prefer just class outlines and such.
We don't want the full code, mainly just the API.
 
Are there enough people to meet the five followers requirements within 3 days here?
 
I will follow it.
 
@Vogel612 @Hosch250 @Mat'sMug @Phrancis?
There's one.
 
6:41 PM
I'll follow it.
 
There's two.
 
I won't
 
@RonakAgrawal Would you follow it?
 
it doesn't strike me as interesting :/
 
@Vogel612 That's fine, I completely understand.
I mean, if @Hosch250 and @EthanBierlein are willing to follow it, I'll get the proposal created and hopefully others will follow it as well.

Q: Are Design Review questions on-topic?

They have a meta about it.
 
I'll look more into it when I get back from work.

Would you prefer using...

why?
 
It feels more expressive and I don't have to mentally parse the expression to see what is being asserted
 
There's also these two options
