Meme: hello / hi / hey there
Originator: Bored Code Reviewers

Background: Core Reviewers like to greet each other in chat, and most of the time it's just a casual "Hello" then "Hi @someone". But on days of high activity, some unusual things can happen...

I have the following PHP code but I'm unsure, based on the many things I've read, whether or not this is actually safe from an SQL injection attack.
$mysqli = new mysqli("address.address.address", "username", "password", "database");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
prin...

I'll soon begin teaching a beginners' programming class. It's voluntary, so I thought I'd make it interesting by teaching Python programming and then introduce the kids to Pygame, so that they can make their own games. To try out Pygame (I've never used it before) and to see exactly how easy it i...

Now I am having some trouble decoupling my tests from implementation details and am kindly asking for some help.
The relative portion of the repository that I am testing loo...
I am working with a mesh of points (in 3d, although I doubt it makes a difference). The mesh is given as list of lists, each list containing the three vertices of a triangle in said mesh:
for example:
0 2 6
0 12 15
2 66 10234
I want to find the neighbours of each point, i.e. to have an array ...
Motivation
Although I love coding in C++, I sometimes yearn for the syntactic sugar of python. C++11 has somewhat eased the pain by such beautiful analogies like this:
# python
for i in [1, 5, 7]:
// C++11
for(auto i: {1, 5, 7})
Unfortunately, C++ puts an end to this as soon as you want to d...
I've created a MiniStack to assist in removing recursion from routines using a manual stack.
Obviously if the stack is an object it lives on the heap and its creation and destruction takes a significant amount of time.
Therefore any heap based option is out for loops that create and destroy the T...
