@EthanBierlein you don't have to answer all of them, but most people do, you are trying to convince each person that reads the post that you have what it takes to be their moderator and handle things the way that they think you should.

@Lyle'sMug s/diffuse/defuse/??

Its good to seek out the language features. Python has a lot of cool stuff built in. it would be a better question for codereview as jonrsharpe commented, though. — Dave_750 21 secs ago

@Vogel612 No, he's going spread spectrum.

oh okay then

@Vogel612 I knew it didn't look right. but that would work too. diffuse the smell of the stinky fart with a fan....

4:01 PM

@Lyle'sMug My plan is to answer all of them in the best way I can.

just don't let anything hit it.

@Lyle'sMug or a vacuum

@Vogel612 would probably work better

Three hours, get your clickers ready.

@Hosch250 Clickers?

Q: HTML / JavaScript / jQuery: How to properly include certain JS file on specific HTML page

I am new to JS and programming in general and hope someone can help me with this. I am currently working on building a website where every page has its separate HTML / PHP file. jQuery and my global / general JS functions are included in the footer of all these pages through a separate include...

Q: pattern for creating objects and setting common base and specific derived class properties

I have a scenario to design a class structure that creates different types of derived class objects and set some of their common base class properties. Here is the final pattern I came up with to solve the problem. Can someone please take a look and advise if this a good design or can it be impro...

Mouse, touchpad, stylus...

Got to nominate yourselves, don't you?

ermph...

@Hosch250 No.

I'll not nominate myself and I doubt I'll get nominated by anyone else.

We'll pass that bridge when we get there.

I think I'll nominate you just because of that

@Hosch250 I'm not going to stop you, but I can't say whether I'll accept it or not.

4:06 PM

Elections coming up, anyone?

I think there are much, much better options available.

user image

Go grab a muffin, this is what I come back to ;-)

@rolfl I have a feeling those are my flags.

And they've been around for a while.

Ooh, the JS zombies slowed down!

data.stackexchange.com/codereview/query/172449/…

They actually dipped for a while around when I was killing them to get my badge.

C++ is going down as well.

Slightly.

Most of them appear to have taken a slight dip.

4:11 PM

Wait, how do you access different values of things for different times in the SEDE?

@EthanBierlein Depends.

??

You can have the user input them at the bottom.

My latest question just got it's 5th answer.

Imbalance.

@Mast mine didn't get one yet..

4:19 PM

@Vogel612 I could write you one, but my Java isn't great and my naming isn't either.

try me :)

@rolfl but you do such a good job I only hope that I can live up to such a legend as you when I am elected as the 4th Moderator

The last time Code Review saw double-digit flags, was when Simon was aiming for marshal, or something ;)

@rolfl hey, I don't have that one yet. can I still get it while I am Moderator?

@rolfl That's what I'm doing.

@Lyle'sMug No.

I have a week or two to get it.

4:24 PM

I better get on that then..... everyone else stop flagging stuff..... JK

@Hosch250 I know, and it's OK, as long as your flags are accurate.

I'm trying.

And, no, moderators don't get flags to count, and most flags are unavailable for mods.

That's because mods handle flags.

exactly

4:26 PM

They don't have to flag for a mod to handle something when they can just handle it.

I can't flag a question for a close reason now that I have close votes... Even if I'm all out of close votes

Huh, I just realized that in 2 weeks I can target marshall badge as well ;-) Mods beware;-)

8

Uh oh, I better clean up all the comments now then ;)

Decline all the flags. ;)

@nhgrif no, you can't. Is there a particular question you have in mind?

4:29 PM

No. Just a general comment about a problem I've had in the past on SO.

@Vogel612 Remember, you asked for it.

@nhgrif Try using a custom mod flag.

@Mast about the show and showX... one is for actually making the view visible

and one is for showing the error message

show is complementary to hide()

which doesn't exist in that interface, since hiding that view is equivalent to exiting the application

Just saying it seems off to have a showSpecific and a general show function.

@Hosch250 That's unnecessary. In these cases I just want to make sure it's in the close vote queue. It doesn't require moderator intervention.

4:33 PM

then it wouldn't be ~~void~~ zero-arity, would it?

Moderators should do as little as possible/necessary. And good community members should make the effort to help the moderator in this endeavor.

@Vogel612 Probably.

OK.

Wut, one of my questions got 1000 views in 24h

Q: Creating class method using macro to accept Visitator for each of their fields

I had a lot of classes that used a macro with listed fields. The macro was used to serialization, more like MSGPACK_DEFINE. I need a substitution of this mechanism, but I like to used that also keep names of fields. Here is my code: template< class Visitator> static inline void runVisit(const c...

4:37 PM

First popular question badge :)

I got the silver one for LOLCODE.

My oldest question has half the amount of views in 6 months.

VHDL isn't popular :-(

If that 250LoC Tic-Tac-Toe question stays popular, I'm 4 away from 25 and a silver.

Q: Interface for fixed-size container supporting max, min, sum

I had posted this previously as part of Generic container similar supporting PeekMax, PeekMin, Sum, and PeekNextToMax but I think it was to big a morsel for people to chew on. So I'm splitting it up. As part of another project (involving portfolio optimization) I'm using an algorithm that requir...

@Mast 15 minutes and you get an edit on your answer :D

4:49 PM

Translation error.

I forgot in-consequent isn't standard English. Inconsistent is indeed better, so good for ferada.

Inconsequential is.

@Hosch250 Yes, but that's not what was meant.

Yeah.

Languages are hard.

I should learn a second language some time.

English is actually easier than Dutch.

english is extremely easy..

in comparison to any other language I know ...

4:52 PM

Germany agrees with me, good.

Dutch has to many vocals, you agree?

Dutch has too many exceptions on just about every rule.

Lol, that's what I always hear about English.

Are you just kidding me?

no we aren't, trust me

it's childs play when compared to things like japanese, french or latin

@Vogel612 German is the language in which an umlaut on everything is allowed and produces a new vocal, so how does Dutch have less vocals than German?

4:55 PM

I started learning French and Spanish in HS.

@Vogel612 French is easier than Dutch.

@Mast how did you get that impression?

you Dutch people duplicate vocals everywhere

guuden daag

@Vogel612 That's actually 'goede dag', no duplication.

göde dag ... wat

Pronunciation is weird in Dutch, yes.

@Vogel612 Goede, where 'oe' is like the English 'oo' in good.

5:01 PM

do comment flags count toward the marshal badge?

@Lyle'sMug Looks like it.

Awesome. I still need 300.....

TFL

392 to go.

But I'm at 1109 votes.

Perhaps I should stop voting and start flagging again.

That can't be right...

You guys sound like PPCG when they were figuring out the Stack Egg.

TTQW

5:11 PM

Just watched the last episode of POI. Darn that's a cliffhanger...

If my questions get way more votes than my answers, does that indicate I should stick to posting questions instead of answering them?

@Mast Not necessarily, because answer votes are worth more.

5:28 PM

@nhgrif Yes, I still do lots of things behind closed doors (otherwise the other mods and the Powers That Be would already be disappointed with me). I do always check flags and Meta before editing. If you do get elected, you'll find out what all it entails. ;-)

@Hosch250 Yea well, my questions never go without votes. One of my answers is about a month old and is without.

Regardless of worth, it would seem people like my questions better than my answers.

And we're all for good content, right?

Questions get more visibility because of the Captain.

An answer feed, that would be a good one for @Duga.

Something with more regular input too, not something like every 5 to 50 minutes

I've got a pun for my nomination/question answers/whatever I have to write for the people to see.

@Hosch250 Can't be worse than the puns we've been seeing from @rolfl, so let's have it.

5:32 PM

not one pun in ten was good

Slice assignment is a standard technique you can use to speed up the inner loop of setting multiples to false. I was going to type up an answer, but a simple google search yields results better than I could have --- for example, codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/42420/… — sykora 20 secs ago

> I'm reading a book on anti-gravity. I can't put it down!

@rolfl That pun

Generally, all puns are bad. Except that the worse the pun, the funnier it is.

We're back to 95% answered! :D

5:35 PM

@Jamal Should we celebrate it by asking a question?

2

@Mast You've got to wait and read it on my post.

I'm just drumming up views.

I might as well post another answer anyway. I'm still only 14 c++11 upvotes from the silver.

Q: Tables with same columns in Relational Database

I need to know if its a good practice to make tables with the same columns on the database. I have a situation where i have 4 kinds of documents wich each one of them have a correct format (something like a xsd). So ill get lots of files from a source (ftp for example) and compare the structure...

oop design-patterns data-structures

@Jamal Considering the meta effect, that's probably less now.

Thanks, Santa. :-) Maybe I'll find another question to answer before 20:00Z.

5:44 PM

I just flagged something and it still recorded a vote. How am I supposed to reach Marshal if it won't let me flag...

You have to flag comments.

I've been flagging "Thank you" comments (targeting the ones with bad grammar).

And "off topic" comments on reopened questions.

And "migrate to CR" comments on migrated questions.

And, I'm at 188 helpful flags.

And I have over 30 flags now.

If I want to search for questions, I can use is:question. For answers, is:answer.

But is:comment doesn't appear to work.

Reject.

I'd go for defacing I guess. It's not up to editors to change the code.

@Mast It is, if the code is an answer, and not a question.

Often, those are new editors, and a simple explanatory comment fixes things.

Oh, wait.

5:53 PM

@QPaysTaxes Yes, i see that, and that Answer has broken code, which was fixed by the edit, with a decent comment: Added Application.ScreenUpdating = False as first line of code in CommandButton1_Click and changed the name of the const from rootDir to rootFolder to match the name used in the code.

Q, you forgot to read the comments.

Thanks @ChipsLetten. It took a bit to write this. Im away from my machine atm. Would you mind suggesting an edit? – RubberDuck 1 hour ago

Can't say I tested it @ChipsLetten, but there shouldn't be any issues. It's getting a fresh file path at the beginning of each do while. – RubberDuck 1 hour ago

Edit suggested. – ChipsLetten 56 mins ago

@QPaysTaxes No, you can click the darn link.

@QPaysTaxes No, it looked like it was fixing some problems in the answer.

The title links to the answer.

@QPaysTaxes Not going to say it

@QPaysTaxes codereview.stackexchange.com/users/62850/…

you have no rejected suggestions....

You only have 6 suggested edits?

5:57 PM

In this case, he had Duck's permission.

Usually, I would reject those too, but since he had the OP's permission...

@Hosch250 Yes, so by the comments alone it should have been approved. Without the comments, it should have been thrown in my opinion.

That's why we need to read the comments for suggested edits.

But perhaps SuperMonkey has a solid argument to do otherwise.

(I think I need to work on this too).

As a general note, when the post is a question, code edits are almost always an outright "reject" unless the fix is for an obvious markdown fubar.

5:59 PM

@Hosch250 Yes, wasn't there a meta somewhere suggesting the comments should be visible by default?

When the post is an answer, though, code edits are normally really clever, and astute. I tend to have to think about them carefully, and, often, I skip them

@rolfl As a general rule, I leave a comment telling them to notify the OP.

Leave them for the answerer to deal with (they are inbox-notified).

Oh, duh.
