@Jamal - raised a flag... is that the sort of thing obsolete is about?
 
Yes, that sort of thing.

It's fine. Since CR is quite low-traffic, I can take the time to decide if more comments should be removed.

Q: Reversing the digits of an integer

Hi, I have downvoted your question. Please see our help center to see what we're all about. You could edit the question to include working code that you want peer reviewed; a golfed one-liner isn't going to get you much of a useful code review ;) — Mat's Mug 44 secs ago

Hm... ungolfing some code. Interesting. As long as it's not the other way around, it could be okay.
Reminds me when my computer security professor had the class un-obfuscate some C code. That was pretty fun.
 
Well sometimes golfing is a good! With JavaScript you always want to have the simplest mignified and optimized script! But the source should be readable and blabla.

Is that for your entire answer, or parts of it? If you think it needs more work, you can always delete it and work on it secretly.
 
No I was talknig about the code of the OP, by inlining everything, I've misread it and though there was a bug.

2:44 AM
I've written it as a comment
 
You could always vote to reopen.
 
I did
(although I was not first)
 
How is that a code review?
 
I have this code, it works, it does not do things as well as I think it could.
What's the problem?
I think you all understood the question wrong.
He's not looking to remove code after the '?', but the content of the URL after the '?'
 
The query string
 
2:47 AM
Yes
 
I still don't think it's a good Code Review question.
 
He wants to make 3 lines of code shorter... He don't want a review....
 
@Marc-Andre no...
 
Technically it's a one-liner...
 
We wants to avoid having to parse a string twice.
 
2:49 AM
The OP ask : Can I make this any shorter?
 
yes, and that's all there is to it. There's one possible answer to this question, and it holds in a comment.
 
No, there are many answers.
 
I don't like these one-liner questions. IMHO if CR starts getting a bunch of those, overall Q&A quality on the site will take a dip.

We also can't expect every answerer to put in a review. This could attract single-line code-only answers.
 
^^ that's the best reason to avoid these questions
 
2:55 AM
And I doubt putting a post notice at the top will solve this problem.
Now, if the OP has more code to post, rather than one conditional, then it could be worth something.
 
I want a "too narrow" close reason.
 
OK, it is not a great question, but it is even more not about 'code golfing'.... I feel the first comment is misleading.
Also, not great questions are dealt with by down-voting, not by closing.
It is more than on-topic.
@Marc-Andre Change the word 'shorter' to 'shorter runtime'... and give the guy with the non-english sounding name a little slack.
 
But this not about the Op really. If this would become the main typoe of question here on Code Review, we will have difficulty having "expert" or quality here.
 
Would this be best-suited for Meta? It might help set a standard for these types of questions.
 
@Jamal I agree, we need to sort this out ASAP. We can't afford fuzzy rules, not at this point.
 
3:03 AM
@Marc-Andre point out to me the item in the help center for on-topic questions where this one is wrong? codereview.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic
 
@rolfl I agree that "golfing" was a little far-fetched.
 
Well there is nothing actually in there I agree, but there should be. But at this point it's probably my opinion and we should ask a meta question about it.
 
Reviewers may comment on any part of the code. would be applicable if it's too narrowed down on a specific issue.
 
meh, trying to apply that logic is a losing proposition... everything has grey areas... just so long as every user submits their code with an affadavit that it is their code. ....
 
@rolfl ok you win. I've voted for reopening. But I'm writing a meta post about one-liner reviews.
 
3:08 AM
We want, in fact, we ask users to submit the code they are worried about....:
> If you want a code review, you must post the relevant snippets of code in your question.
He has concerns about a small amount of code, and he posted the relevant snippets.
I know, I drive a hard argument ;-)
@Jamal - Same user editing as asking? codereview.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/17866
 
Yes, it'd be nice to get a Meta post on this. Since the question isn't being swamped with policy disputes, I probably don't need to lock it. But if it gets reopened, I'm applying a post notice and watching for code-only answers.
@rolfl: I'll check.

Fine, you get the meta-checkmark, and I'll skip close-voting these ones.
 
It has to meet all the other conditions... like working, etc.
It is my (opinion apparently shared by others), that short questions can still be on topic. That's the only consensus.
We recently had the same debate about answers.....
 
I'll stick to closing questions that are idiot-proof off-topic. My point wasn't about question length, it's about the scope of the review. Perhaps I haven't made it clear enough.
I even got a meta-downvote on that question.
 
Not from me ;-)
 
Maybe it was too short.

Don't think I agree with keeping these narrow-scoped questions open. I'm just going with what the meta-votes say. And the query should exclude locked posts, too.
Some of the posts you're pointing as reference have this notice: "This question exists because it has historical significance, but it is not considered a good, on-topic question for this site, so please do not use it as evidence that you can ask similar questions here."

See? I'd be slamming a close vote on that one. I'll hold it back and keep my close votes for the close queue, when I'm the 4th or 5th to vote.
 
@Mat'sMug - you may be right, there may need to be a policy change, but I cannot think of a way to express it that makes it fair, and enforceable.
 
^^^^ Questions like this one are poison for this site, in my own humble useless opinion.
 
That question reveals a subtle difference in the best way to use regular expressions, whether to split, or to match. In some contexts (and I am not sure whether CR is the right context), that question is brilliant.
I am happy to answer questions like that from enquiring minds who have done their homework.

That may be true.... so, does that help you refine the Meta question?
At the moment, I view that question as 'working, has code, has question, looks good'.
A good review for either part of that question would consider the other alternative (as well as any other alternatives there may be).
 
I'm going to sleep on it I think.
actually that regex one, is really a better fit for Programmers.SE because:
1. It's comparing A vs B
2. It's narrowed-down code for a very, very specific problem
3. Invites short answers being either A, B, or C (should be reworded to also ask *why*).
4. The best answer will probably inform the OP about the inner workings of the regex engine being used, and explain how A|B is more efficient than B|A because of XYZ. This is very informative, but it's not a code review.
 
That's a valid thought... but, anything with code in it is good for review. I think you are right that the question would have value on Programmers, but, it also has value here.
 
Perhaps it would more on-topic if the separate review request was retained, while removing the part about choosing which to use.

5:24 AM
@syb0rg Question is whether reopening it would accomplish anything useful. IOW, is there really anything to be added that hasn't already been said? Granted, it's not for me to say that's necessarily the case, but I'm not convinced there's enough to be added to justify a reopen vote either.

for (auto i = 1; ... is equivalent to for (int i = 1; ... since the type of the 1 literal would be int

Off like a prom dress ....
 
@Jamal You could get auto to do the job, but it's not a very natural fit. For example, if you iterated through the container backwards, you could use auto pos = container.size();.
 
Ah, okay.
@Corbin: Understood. I somehow thought that auto would take up the type of the sentinel (from size()), not from the starting value. Jerry's explanation clarifies that as well.

Vogel612Well then, here's my first question on this site. I was assigned the task of copying some subsums from a given EXCEL-Sheet into the executing EXCEL-Sheet. This had to be done with an EXCEL-Macro, so non-programmers can easily use it. There was the need to compare the final sum of copied values ...

feedback on my first code-review question appreciated ;)

Q: How do I solve the database lock issue on execution the query?

haseebCan anyone tell me what the issue is with my query? When I execute, it locks the database for 5 to 10 minutes. Please help me optimize this query. SELECT u.username, u.email, u.created_at, p.firstname, p.lastname, p.address, p.address_2, p.city, p.c...

Thank you Santa's ;) A very nice surprise at the end of my vacation ;)
 
@konijn now you have work to do... still zombies!
Actually, @konijn ... in your absence I thought I would tackle a JavaScript question... which I may have gotten completely wrong ... your review-of-the-review would be appreciated.... codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/43274/…

@skiwi no2 is... flag as OT ;)
 
What do you mean exactly? :p
The love of Java 8:
public boolean isVisible(final Matrix4f viewMatrix, final Matrix4f projectionMatrix) {
    Matrix4f mvpMatrix = new Matrix4f().identity()
            .multiply(modelMatrix)
            .multiply(viewMatrix)
            .multiply(projectionMatrix);
    return maximalAABB.getBoundingVectors().stream()
            .map(vector -> new Vector3f(vector).multiplyWith(mvpMatrix))
            .anyMatch(Vector3f::isInScreenSpace);
}

Q: What datatype should I use to complete this task

CodeSlingerI want to be able to allow a user to not put the leading ZERO on any decimal number in a textbox in C# ( like .1 ). I then want to convert this to a decimal or float or any datatype that will represent the decimal number correctly in an SQL table. Why does the test below not show 0.1 as the resul...

 
1:12 PM
and that was just the most confusing statement you ever said, which I was still able to perfectly understand
 
see, that's exactly what I mean..
also... it's not.
 
I'm just sooo done with those complex for-loops, etc. That's so Java7

6 hurts
Have never actually coded in it... though we gotta make some android app for uni and I'm stuck with 6 then actually
 
It's not like I have to do overly complicated stuff.. provide some lists and CRUD operations for Database stuff... Some PF-Views. and that's about it.
not even calculating anything really.

@Vogel612 Some of the code I work with at work is old Java 5 code, a lot of it doesn't even use generics!
 
@Simon You got generics?? I envy you...
I had proposed a refactoring of ~10 classes to implement a generic interface, and it got turned down: "We got enough work to do for now."
 
dump all old code out of the window!
oh wait, then stuff doesn't work anymore
 
oh well it's not that hard to see that the duplication of CRUD-Operations for Entities should be made into a generic infused interface....
but making that happen with ~10 classes
 
2:13 PM
@Vogel612 Yes, and I also got some special principles here: ask don't tell, multi responsible principle, and a whole lot of other not so nice code :)
 
Oh well it's better than the legacy asp-classic application I had to work with before this here...
Imagine you have Trainees write a webapplication
and change the teamroster every year
write in asp-classic, without the slightest sign of coding-standards.
and then examine the result........
 
Do you have a webapplication after that?

My head... it hurts
 
why??
 
All I ask this little nice drawable object is: Are you visible on the screen?
With my eyes I clearly see it is, the object still dares to reply NO...
 
maybe you have some overlay shadowing the object?
and.. it's worse when it's the other way round..
you don't see it and it still replies YES
 
I'm doing a simple vector * matrix multiplication in both shader and CPU
shader is all easy and trivial
getting the same result on cpu is not

@SimonAndréForsberg - re-reading this, it is not as clear as it should be:
huge difference... That would return all users who have answered more than 1 answer on any questions, and the ID of the first question the user answered — rolfl 3 hours ago
With the min, and no post.Id group by, the query would select all users who have posted at least two answers, and the returned question would be for the question they answered with the smallest ID.
In other words, if User A answers one answer each to questions x, y, and z... it will return A, x, 3

<-- hrngh... AGADJASASFDAG
 
COBOL is one of the oldest programming languages, primarily designed by Grace Hopper from 1959 onwards. Its name is an acronym for COmmon Business-Oriented Language, defining its primary domain in business, finance, and administrative systems for companies and governments. The COBOL 2002 standard includes support for object-oriented programming and other modern language features. History and specification COBOL (original) The COBOL specification was created by a committee of researchers from private industry, universities, and government during the second half of 1959.

@rolfl I think this answer perfectly represents my concerns with the site's scope being damaged - the massive votes are sending the wrong message (i.e. it's okay to skip the review part of your answer); I don't think the voting on "short questions" means anything, especially on the old ones.

A: Why is my C# program slower than my Python program?

perhaps all "please review my code" questions should be on topic here - that's the point: the question I'm referring to, is not asking for a review, rather how to further simplify/golf a one-liner. Some of the "cherry-picked" questions (and more, returned by the same query) are asking to compare A versus B comfort the OP in saying why A is better than B or vice-versa. That's not how I see a good "code review" question. Again it's not about the length of the question, it's about the scope of the review. I strongly disagree that this is the direction we need to be taking. — Mat's Mug 14 mins ago

(just probing, trying to find the line in your mind between what is OK, and what is not...)
 
fine by me; the code is reviewable, in an open-ended way.
 
@rolfl But I mean using MIN(answer.postedbyuserId) and still using GROUP BY question.id, but avoiding group by answer.postedbyuserId
