That shouldn't be too hard I guess
I still haven't understood exactly how that badge works though.
 
Comments starred by 10 different users?
 
I believe retailcoder has had 10 stars on one single message for a while but he didn't get the badge until now? Strange
 
It doesn't have to be on the same message. Just 10 different people star some message of yours.

Q: Strange particle behaviour in a simple snake game

alex koukoulasIt's my first question here so tell me if I did anything wrong :) So I'm a beginner to python and pygame and I went on to create a simple snake game. Although I'm still messing around with the movement of the snake there seems to be a little problem when changing directions.. Do you think you ca...

@SimonAndréForsberg Thanks! No clue, it just happened... :/
 
@retailcoder ohhhh..... you're outspoken too?
 
@rolfl yup! :)
 
Out of interest, when you got the badge, had you recently been starred by someone?
When I got my badge it was hours after my last star, and probably days since the last-star-by-someone-new.
I got 11 hours of sleep last night .... still reeling ...
 
@rolfl no idea, I think some badges are awarded personally by the @StackExchange bot.
 
@retailcoder Perhaps you got a theoretical star by the @StackExchange bot?

A: Normalization: is it done well?

Malachi in normal form you shouldn't have the comment Column in your user table. you need to have a unique identifier in all of your tables a Foreign Key is what matches another table's Primary Key you should have a table that looks like this (forgive my blatantly bad syntax) CREATE TABLE FeedBack {...

Headshot! ^^
 
^^^ no, killcam :p
 
dang it I can't edit or delete now either.....
 
@Malachi You could make a theoretical edit.

I like some of Stross' stuff, but not all of it.
 
@rolfl Reminds me about what the TV-series "Person of Interest" is about. After the second season of the show, the whole Snowden-thing started. Person of Interest and the new revealings about the NSA really go hand in hand
(The last half of that video will contain spoilers in case you haven't seen the show)

@Jeffy, that sounds awesome, look forward to reading your reviews
all I need is 49 more rep
 
@Malachi How much did you say you need?
 
Since I posted that answer, I read a couple times in CR answers, that recursion is best avoided most of the times (and I agree) - I sort of wonder, is this a valid use of recursion?

@SimonAndréForsberg your voting schemes have been uncovered

I don't think those were mine actually
 
I still got to keep the badge.
how many times did you vote @SimonAndréForsberg
 
Not 15 at least
 
5-6 is all it takes I think
 
3-5 or so I think
 
(nobody knows)
 
3:15 PM
How much it takes is different. They haven't revealed the real formula, and they probably never will.
 
so do I keep the upvotes on the answers but lose the reputation?
 
I don't think the upvotes is kept either
 
@SimonAndréForsberg what do you think of the recursive solution I proposed? does it make sense? @rolfl I'd like your input as well :)
 
When I checked some of your answers on SO it looked like 5 at first, but then when I clicked to see vote count it was only 4.

Malachithe Question it failed the game/contest because of the time constraint, my thoughts are that this is a review for speed. being that I think it is on-topic, any other thoughts?

@SimonAndréForsberg he fixed the syntax error, and it looks like it works and doesn't have any blatant bugs
 
@retailcoder - is this the part you want reviewed:

`'traverse whole hierarchy and add all items to a collection that you return`
 
@SimonAndréForsberg I upvoted that one because it did look like he acknowledged the bug and addressed it

Malachithe Question it failed the game/contest because of the time constraint, my thoughts are that this is a review for speed. being that I think it is on-topic, any other thoughts?

 
@Malachi But he is not asking for a code review. Both the question and the answers all contain the word "problems" or "issues". Besides, the code was given to him at an interview, he did not write the code.
 
@SimonAndréForsberg oh gotcha. you should point out my ignorance in your answer. I already upvoted it
 
@SimonAndréForsberg - it is his code (and it was a contest, not an interview):
> This is my Java code for the Unfriendly Numbers problem
 
@rolfl Two different questions :) I'm talking about "What are the problems with this method?"
 
@SimonAndréForsberg in each case, problems and issues were related to performance, not functionality.

@retailcoder - you have not been around enough .... ;-)
I particularly like: Printer on fire!
lp0 on fire (aka Printer on Fire) is a semi-obsolete error message generated on some Unix and Unix-like computer operating systems in response to certain types of printer errors. lp0 is the Unix device handle for the first line printer, but the error can be displayed for any printer attached to a Unix/Linux system. The message does not reliably indicate whether the printer in question is actually aflame. History The "on fire" message probably originated in the late 1950s, when high speed computerized printing was still a somewhat experimental field. The first documented fire-starting ...

Wtf?
I got the Outspoken badge!
Who starred my message with the link to the PHP question with the horrible comments?
 
Me ? (I just did it now.... it was just one star before).
 
@SimonAndréForsberg had to be @Malachi
 
well who did it before you? :P
I'm actually guessing it was @amon, and that that was the first time he starred any of my messages.
 
well that was express badge delivery then!
 
5:03 PM
@retailcoder wasn't me that time
 
^^ Yeah, right :p
 
@amon ... was it you? ..... huh?
 
I will star it now
 
I starred it too :)

FYI, the definition of a Sudoku puzzle includes the constraint that "there must be one and only one solution". If it doesn't meet that, it's not a valid Sudoku puzzle. — John Deters 2 mins ago
 
@retailcoder he's right, but, well, I have seen grids advertised as Sudoku's having ambiguous solutions, and, sometimes it's nice to know it's solvable (after you've been beating your head against it for hours)
I had better vote for the sudoku solver, right?>
 
@rolfl
@JohnDeters I believe the Sudoku puzzle definition itself doesn't specify whether or not one and only one solution must exist, see Wikipedia article (which says "The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid, which typically has a unique solution.") and this blog postSimon André Forsberg 55 secs ago
AFAIK, there is no official constraint about the number of solutions for them. Just because nearly all of the ones that are published only have one doesn't mean that it's a requirement.

Q: Should I use bindValue() or execute(array()) to avoid SQL injection here?

@SimonAndréForsberg we should be more active there too maybe, get our close/deletion votes in everyday.
there is a flag in the queue that I cannot see.
 
@Malachi Just posted an answer to a question over there, within seconds I had two comments telling me I was wrong, while I was currently working on editing my answer. I ended up with 5 upvotes and 2 downvotes. Seems like that question generated a whole lot of comments.

A: Does the <li> tag in HTML have an ending tag?

Simon André ForsbergThere is a difference here between HTML and XHTML. XHTML are more strict. While old regular HTML does not enforce it for all tags, all tags in XHTML must have an ending tag** to validate. Even <br> and <img> is often written as <br /> or <img ... /> to specifically give them ending tags. XHTML ...

 
seriously? does it need an ending tag?
 
It's normally optional in HTML but in XHTML it needs one
I always prefer XHTML
My answer isn't probably the most correct one with regards to the question, but still...
There's no harm in using </li>, I'd say that it makes the code better and cleaner. But maybe I've spent too much time here...
Suddenly got another +2 votes on that SO answer, that was you, @Malachi?
 
6:57 PM
@SimonAndréForsberg guilty!
 
@retailcoder Thx :)
 
@SimonAndréForsberg You can do all kinds of awesome stuff when using the XML-compatible syntax for HTML. For example: avoiding the tag soup reordering for when you really have to use an <aside> inside a paragraph.
 
@SimonAndréForsberg - SO will punish you for extending the answer to unasked areas ....
 
@SimonAndréForsberg you have a closure issue, don't you?
 
The question was about HTML, you answered that he should be using XHTML ...
 
6:58 PM
 
@SimonAndréForsberg - I am with you, why anyone uses HTML (instead of xhtml)....
 
@rolfl Thanks :) I guess I'm too used with the way we do it around here, that a review can be about any part of the question.
 
I had a conversation with one of the interns here at work, about a Job interview... I said I had minimum standards for hiring people...... and one of them was whether they used xhtml by default, or HTML.
HTML is used by pwople with unstructured minds ... ;-) Whic is good for certain things, for sure, but not for the stuff most programmers need.
 
@SimonAndréForsberg yes it was

A: Does the <li> tag in HTML have an ending tag?

MalachiIt is not good coding practice to leave out the end tags. I learned XHTML and if you always write the end tags in you will never have an issue if you need to change from HTML to XHTML you will always know where the end of the element is it's cleaner and easier to read. all tags have a Begin...

Q: Decrypting Text Effect

Maximilian Fuchswould someone so nice and improve this code? Because it looks a little beat heavy for me ;) http://i-code.co.uk/javascript/decryptingtext.php Faster on fiddle? Yes!

 
@SimonAndréForsberg yes ....
 
@SimonAndréForsberg lol
 
Well then at least I have learned something new today
 
@SimonAndréForsberg - my favourite 'catch' was someone who, for performance reasons, declared:

private static final IllegalArgumentException IAE = IllegalArgumentException("Illegal Arguments");

and then just `throw IAE` when he needed one.....
 
lol. Same in C# - throw null; gives you a NullReferenceException - obviously because throw wants an instance of an Exception-derived class.
 
7:17 PM
He then wondered why the stack traces were not helpful.
2
 
@rolfl Quite useful actually I would say, unless you want access to the stacktrace.
 
^^ wtf?
throw uselessException;
 
@SimonAndréForsberg - If I admit it, I will tell you about a story about someone (*cough* monkey *cough*) who had a helper-method to determine the message for an exception, and had the following code:

} catch (Type1Exception t1e) {
throw buildException(mycomplexdata, t1e);
} catch (Type2Exception t2e) {
throw buildException(mycomplexdata, t2e):
} ..... and so on ....

but, under some conditions, the buildException(...) method returned null....

It took me hours to figure out where the *brains* the NPE was coming from

^^ good reason to have an ExceptionFactory class, tested to never return null, no?
Arg. Pulled another @Malachi - out of stars already!
 
@retailcoder nice
that should be one of our memes @retailcoder
 
7:30 PM
@rolfl Lol. I like monkey stories
 
@SimonAndréForsberg (I just didn't want to come accross as too flippant on the throw null thing ... I have cried over that before!)
 
@rolfl I'm glad I asked myself the question about whether it would work or not before having it occur to me and not understanding why
 
7:53 PM
The decrypting text effects question could be re-opened, if someone has a vote to spare.
(or apparently Jamal says it can't)
 
@amon It should continue to be closed because it's not his code
 
I voted leave closed.
Anyway, when code was tested against IE6 and FF1, it's too old to be wrong.
(like me).
 
when monkeys are tested against IE6, that is animal cruelty.

Hi Sara (Jabir?), unfortunately (I mean it) I'm afraid we can't help you much here on Code Review - only working code can be reviewed per our Help Center. If you need help with solving a specific error you're getting, you're probably better off posting a narrowed-down version of your code (just what's relevant to the error) on StackOverflow instead, and then come back here with your working code :) - Best of luck! — retailcoder 26 secs ago

Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?
 
@Jamal I don't kiss my mom. There is a metal helmet over my head.
It's physically impossible.
 
OMG it speaks English!!!

@syb0rg It's almost christmas! (Actually, my evil plan was to keep you at 499, but somebody crossed my plans and upvoted another answer)
 
@amon I saw that I was at 499, and I considered going through a bunch of questions and editing them :)
 
@Jamal Compare this SO question with this CR question. Also read the comments of the SO one.
 
Why are the questions the same and the users different?
 
@syb0rg Because the user is the same as well. See earlier discussions here in chat
 
@SimonAndréForsberg Is that allowed on SE sites?
 
10:03 PM
@syb0rg I doubt that. I believe @Jamal has the situation under control.
What I wanted to show is that someone suggested the OP to post at CR instead. Which was not a good suggestion in this case.
 
@SimonAndréForsberg: I like how that SO commenter justified his/her reason for recommending CR. /sarcasm
 
@Jamal "too much code" you mean?
I'm planning on writing a MSO question one day as an attempt to make it more clear for those over at SO when to redirect to CR and when not to.
I just need to make it clear for myself though when those moments is :P
YAY! My total rep on SE is now > 10k!
 
I see that ... congrats.
 
Thanks. I'm not so far behind you, @rolfl
 
@SimonAndréForsberg Nice!
 
10:08 PM
@SimonAndréForsberg: More like criticisms, and then a recommendation. No reason as to why it belongs on CR.
 
@SimonAndréForsberg no, you're not .... and I'm about to slow down for a bit ;-)
 
@syb0rg: And now you can cast close/reopen votes. :-)
 
@Jamal I know! I'm so happy!
 
@rolfl If you don't slow down I'll never catch up with you.
 
@SimonAndréForsberg: There's no bother trying. We may very well be getting our own Jon Skeet...
 
10:12 PM
@Jamal I'm not sure if I want to become a Simon Skeet either.
It's enough with a Rolf Skeet
