@JeroenVannevel Then you need to ask more CR questions!
 
@QPaysTaxes I remember looking at that "proof" and iirc it was of a fixed size and thus didn't actually prove anything
hm, I saw it on an SO question
hmm, the github it links to requires you to press buttons to trigger all the updates, so it may or may not count
it's definitely interesting how close CSS can get
personally I find CSS transitions to be the really cool thing

Q: "3 questions" in SO comments pointing to CR

PhrancisAn SO user commented this on a question that would possibly be a candidate for Code Review: I think we need a three question quiz before you can post. Of which it was said in chat: That's a distressingly reasonable idea How could we word it so it's short enough for a comment, and frie...

@Mat'sMug @QPaysTaxes^^^
 
@QPaysTaxes in retrospect I think you're actually right about that
lol
well I took a serious theory of computing course back in college and I can't remember anything about the mathematical definition of turing machines that would exclude "needs a button to be pressed every step"
 
But it was a distressingly sensible comment ... ;)
 
lol

@ceejayoz That's a great idea, I brought it up on Meta in case you are interested :) — Phrancis 56 secs ago
 
Woohoo, I just broke 6K today :D

... by reviewing some PHP... ^^"
 
@Phrancis congrats
@Phrancis but nobody said the end justifies the means ;)
 
9:24 PM
Haha true
 
I'd notify all room owners, but I think somebody here knows the answer:
Is it possible to permanently ban a user from a chat room?
If so, can I request one for a certain user?
@QPaysTaxes Not you, you're not that bad (yet)
@QPaysTaxes Throw me an invite
All rooms are public. I'll be there.
 
@zxnet I'd recommend you to create a new question, because comments here are not great for code review. The one problem I see with your code at the moment is that you use angular.module('myappname', ['analytics']) and later you use angular.module('app.home', ['ngRoute']) which would create two separate modules which do not depend on each other. — Haralan Dobrev 55 secs ago
 
@QPaysTaxes - You are currently banned from participating in this room.
 
@Mast there are private rooms, but I think only moderators have the power to create or manage them
 
@Mast yes you can try...
@QPaysTaxes no it's right... there actually is real private rooms
 
9:30 PM
You've been kicked from Discussion about Cactus.

Generally this means that your behavior was not in keeping with the norms established in that room.
 
accessible (and visible) only to invited people
 
Awesome, I've never been kicked before.
 
@Mast meh...
 
I am not being given the option to make a private room
 
I have been. It shouldn't be a nice feeling
 
9:30 PM
I'm pretty sure I've seen people say private rooms exist solely to discuss moderation issues
oh well
 
@Ixrec yes, that's intended
 
@Vogel612 In this case it is, since I'm a test subject.
 
there is no private message feature on SO
 
@QPaysTaxes ah right, galleries
 
there's moderator messages, super-pings, and galleries.
and private rooms..
but private rooms can only be created by mods (and employees)
also they are only accessible on invitation..
 
9:33 PM
diamond mods can also add users to private chats, which sorta kinda serves the purpose of a PM
 
@Ixrec but it's intended only for resolving speicific issues..
 
I know
 
Yep
 
@Vogel612 It's almost never used, at least on CR.
 
@Mast how do you know?
but yes... I didn't see anything in my time here that'd have required a private chat.

Q: Java Script add classes onclick and then remove them onfocus event

user2513846I'm trying to improve the code below. Right now I'm mixing JS and jQuery. I would like to find one unique solution with JS only possibly. How can I organize the code according to best code practices? Another thing I need to add is a check at the beginning of the function. If the classes are t...

 
there was one case of voting fraud that had quite the effect, but.. that was about it
 
@QPaysTaxes I'm thinking of something like a comment "@ OP - You are welcome to post to Code Review if 1- X, 2- Y, 3- Z, if you do so please delete your question here to avoid duplicate questions."
 
@Vogel612 I've had one conversation with a mode in the past which would otherwise would be done in a private room, I think.
 
in general the policy on SE is to handle things in the open, where it can be done
at least from my experience
 
@Vogel612 as is mine.
 
9:39 PM
I agree
 
but as soon as things get dirty it's often sorted out behind closed doors
because a large-scale flamewar / one-sided slaughter is not in the interest of anyone..
fixed it now??
 
@Vogel612 I've never been that bad before, so I wouldn't know.
 
the Ninja Edit is not nearly as ninja when you announce it @QPaysTaxes
 
@QPaysTaxes Propane is overrated. H2 FTW.
@Vogel612 Ninja == stealth.
@QPaysTaxes I suppose you mean Heisenberg, but whatever.

@QPaysTaxes Oh, the Zeppelin bonfire.

Q: Objective C Asynchronous to Synchronous Database Access

This is how my Swift project uses the library. func execute(query: String) { self.client.connect(host + ":" + port, username: user...

Q: Idiomatic iterator implementation

NasserA while back, I asked a question about how to implement an idiomatic iterator in C++. I've recently revisited the code, and I'm bothered by the duplication in the begin and end iterators. The code goes over a collection/iterator over a domain, and lazily produces the range using the iterator. Aft...

Q: Minimal theme. Feedback

Vasil ShotarovIntro Recently I decided to get into web design and web dev and I started from the basics - HTML, CSS, JS and PHP. Seeing that WP is such a big part of the web I want to be familiar with the processes involved in creating a theme, so naturally I navigated to the WordPress codex. Initial idea A...

 
@CaptainObvious No code
 
10:04 PM
oops, he left out the link
 
@QPaysTaxes Neither do I on SO.
I don't link SO.
 
@Ixrec It's off-topic with or without a link.
 
TTQW
 
the comments from earlier said it would be on topic if he edited in the code from the link
somehow he dropped even the link when reposting...
 
@Ixrec If the code itself is in the question, it could potentially be on-topic.
But simply linking to the code is not sufficient. The code itself must be in the question.
 
10:07 PM
I left the link in a comment in case anyone wants to bother making the edit (obviously I don't have the rep or the experience here to do it properly)
 
Making that edit wouldn't be acceptable.
Licensing issues.
 
ah
oh cool OP did it
 
Do it as a community wiki answer.
 
@nhgrif that's optional btw..
as to my knowledge it's not against the rules per se..
just.. "bad style"..
 
Right, and best practice recommends community wiki
And if you do a community wiki, feel free to mark as accepted.
Ultimately, mostly do whatever you want...
But if your answer is mostly just an aggregation of the other answers and it's not a community wiki, I'd probably down vote it.

Q: Using an Adapter with Parse query in Android

RicardoI'm an iOS developer new to Android. I'm creating my first Android app and I have several questions. My app uses Android Studio, gradle, and it's based on Parse (the backend). Basically, takes messages from the backend and shows them. User has the possibility to delete them, or click them and see...

 
10:30 PM
@CaptainObvious Minimal title. Feedback
 
10:47 PM
Back
@QPaysTaxes I like to do that myself, at least if the code in the question changed a lot as a result of the reviews, so that I have for myself (and for others possibly) a before/after picture
 
Evening all!
 
Hey @DJanssens!
 
Oh boy, that new series Sense8 is pretty epic! Just finished it :D

Q: Decrypting a substitution cipher using n-gram frequency analysis

Gareth ReesThis is a solution for the June 2015 Community Challenge: a program that decrypts a monoalphabetic substitution cipher. It's written in Python 3, but should be portable to Python 2 if you use from __future__ import division. Please review! Is the technique clear and the code easy to follow? Does...

 
@heinst No. If the author doesn't understand how to implement DFS recursively, then there is a specific programming question, and it's on-topic for Stack Overflow. We can't review a recursive DFS implementation that doesn't exist yet, so it's off-topic for Code Review. — 200_success 17 secs ago

A: "3 questions" in SO comments pointing to CR

PhrancisTaking a stab at it: This question could be suitable for Code Review, as long as (a) your code works as intended, (b) your code is real code, rather than example code, and (c) your code is included in the body of the question. If you wish for a peer review to improve all aspects your code, pl...

I saw that :o
OK gotcha :)
It's funny how it appears you get access to the SE moderation privileges almost exactly when you're ready to be trusted with them, I'm sure the good folks at SE spent a lot of time debating that!
> This might be a bit too wordy for a comment though, I'd appreciate feedback.
I'll sit on this for a while until the community gets to vote on answers, we shall see how it unfolds.
@QPaysTaxes You may not have been pinged by it (because I deleted it shortly afterwards), but I commented on your answer that we should delete comments related to CW, as they distract away from the post
Sorry, I should have just posted that here instead
Cool. @QPaysTaxes I think you're doing really good here, I'm glad you found a new addiction home :)
We know, we just largely deny it ;)
We could shorten yours a bit by removing "asking what's on topic" link, and do like I did with mine and just have the Code Review link send them to the help center, that would shave probably 20-ish characters
 
11:31 PM
@heinst I wasn't aware of code review. Thank you very much for pointing it out — samol 50 secs ago
 
Hmm, let's try something
 
This question looks like it might be a pretty good fit for Code Review.SE, provided that (a) you want a full review, (b) your code is already working, and (c) you're asking for a review of concrete, real code, not abstract design (whether or not it's expressed as code). If you agree with all of those, please read about what's on topic, and, if your question fits that, delete it here and repost it on CR. — Phrancis 25 secs ago
 
Whoops, already have answers, I removed the "delete it" part
 
11:44 PM
@GarethRees - got a sec?
 
Actually, the recursive code is not working. That's why I am asking how to get it to work — samol 8 mins ago
@QPaysTaxes ^^
 
Would love to chat about this question in the 2nd monitor - especially regarding the corpus — rolfl ♦ 12 secs ago
 
@RubberDuck ^^
He's on, AFAIK, he just posted in VBA room
 
@QPaysTaxes you may find help in the VBA Room..
 
Depends if you want it reviewed again or not
I'd say if you're happy with it, just post CW answer. If you think it needs further improvement, post a new question.

“for the first time feeling like I get close to being competent” — after my seventh time of feeling like that, I learned to distrust the sensation. — Paul D. Waite 11 hours ago

In 4 minutes you can give it a real one. =;)-
Seriously though. Never trust the feeling of competency!
Oh. Hi @Phrancis! Funny thing is, I didn't even get pinged yet.
What's up @QPaysTaxes you had a question for the Rubberduck?
 
RELOAD!
 
I saw. =)
