The problem is that there are people who have numerous posts under their belt that still make bad posts.
We don't have that problem here quite so much (although, I've seen it with two different users in my tags, and they got the same downvote without comment treatment).
Most of those problems we don't have here, or we try to alleviate with user awareness, but SO is so vast, that's like filtering cup by cup into the ocean
User's with a long history of good quality posts who have made a miscue will get a comment. I give them the benefit of the doubt that they misunderstood something.
@nhgrif We have close votes for them instead of down-votes. If they fix their question, the question gets reopened. Very obvious to the OP there's something wrong with his question, what's wrong with his question and when it's fixed.
> I no longer refer to this as “multiparadigm” because I find that term encourages many to simply select one “paradigm” rather than using the full strength of the language. Unfortunately, I don’t have a good buzzword for what I do.
I'm a fairly new developer (well, engineer really, but currently working on a software project). In the Android project I'm working on, I read a node representation of a map into my app and interpret the tab-separated information as Node objects (defined below) which are then inserted into a Map<...
Hmm I think it's a code review you're looking for. I took a quick look, there are areas that could use re-writing but it doesn't seem dramatically out of line with Angular style/conventions. — mcranston18just now
A week ago I made an edit which was rejected by the OP. Wrongfully, in my opinion. What's the appropriate reaction on such a thing, should I learn anything from it? Should I meta it? Should I let-it-go?
@lakeoffm If you're asking how to update the UI as the data is received and processed, then in addition to a "completion" block or delegate method, like nhgrif said, you might also have a "progress" block or delegate method, too. See AFNetworking for block-based example. See delegate protocols for NSURLConnection or NSURLSession for examples of delegate-protocol-based example. By the way, you should consider accepting nhgrif's answer. Also, don't ask new questions in comments, but (a) try it; and (b) post new question if needed. — Rob1 min ago
I created a post carousel (it's being used on a wordpress theme initially), but I've adapted it to just HTML/CSS/JS one. All the files are located here

The code bugging me is this:
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
'use strict';

@Mast Yeah, american vs british spelling cases, it's best just to leave that to how it's written, unless you rewrite a section, then you'd use whatever you use.
Here is a trick I used a few weeks back when I ran into the same issue as you are (were?) having. Although I've used grunt-contrib-sass I think the trick should translate quite well to grunt-sass. What I basically did was to define two environment files with the same name and placed them in diffe...
@Quill I've been thinking about compiling a list of frequently used comments for improper migration proposals and people who don't understand the difference between SO and CR.
On Code Review we often encounter questions with the same kind of problem over and over again.
Some of us are using the auto comments script which allows you to maintain a list of comments to post.
What are some useful tin-can comments that can be good to have in your list of comments?
If you ...
Yeah. I just mean as a general rule, I don't think downvotes happen often enough, and questions which ought to be downvoted (in my opinion) will sometimes end up with scores like +5 (a +1 from +3/-2 would be more understandable, etc, but it will get +5/-0)
In C, one can only use setjmp into a condition and only with a fixed set of rules. That means that it is impossible to store the result of setjmp while being standard compliant. Can you believe it? c__c
I have a class that I'm trying to determine a good name for. I don't know if this concept comes up a lot in programming or not, but I'm wondering if I can get some suggestions for a good name for the class.
Basically, this is how the class functions:
The first time its Get() method is called, ...
In my assessment, this answer is a decent answer for the question, but the question is the issue, the question is about how to build/deploy code, rather than the code itself. The question is/was not really looking for a code review, and, as a result, did not get one. — rolfl ♦36 secs ago
I'll start off by addressing the elephant in the room. It's been the better part of a year since the announcement that Code Review was graduating. In all those months, there haven't been any visible indications of change from us on the team. There are a few reasons for that, but they all come dow...
OK then, this is an Enigma Machine Simulator written in Java:

4 seats huh? and 2 are open? that is something to think about. I will have to start getting on CR instead of Netflix after the kids go to bed. much more entertaining anyway, and heck, I could do both at the same time, 2nd monitor FTW
And with no offense to Jamal, I don't see what he does as a moderator that he couldn't do as a regular user (but perhaps this means he's the perfect moderator?).
I have some working code, but it seems a bit clunky.
I need to get data from a service. The service will hold the data in local storage if possible (to make it speedier), but if it's not been accessed before, it will need an http GET to a web server. The example contains only one GET, but there ...
I think I might nominate myself. I like seeing things from everyone's point of view to see what is going on and then figure out what would be the best way to defuse the situation.
