I have a question related to code review
 
@CodeX what's up?
 
When i post my code for review can i post it with external links?
I read somewhere it was ok
 
5:20 PM
Yes, as additional context. But the code under review must be embedded in the post
 
 
Wtf is that..
 
That's a no-ifs-no-buts rule
 
In celcius.
 
...
 
5:22 PM
So as long as the code to be reviewed is in the post you can link to maybe the full project at git hub?
 
Exactly
 
Thanks, i didnt know that was allowed
@QPaysTaxes I always emitted my links lol

@Seub The use of a layout and setGeometry is exclusive: you can do either one, but never both at the same time. Your code is broken and you must fix it first. "I should create my own layout class inheriting QLayout, but that sounds like a lot of work." The very reason that you've posted this question is that you're making life very hard for yourself already. What you've done so far is a bad hack and I'd never pass it in a code review. It will not work properly, it's not meant to, and you're breaking all sorts of invariants by doing things that way. — Kuba Ober 8 secs ago
 
only got routed back here cus someone had a unity question

Q: Is this question off-topic because of being a possible homework assignment?

JS1For this question: Circular Queue program one of the answers noted that the code in the question appears to be copy/pasted from this homework assignment: http://pastebin.com/QnvHtTr0 Should the question therefore be closed as off-topic?

 
@apieceoffruit That sounds awesome
I've always been interested in VR, but haven't had the chance to professionally develop with it yet
 
it is pretty cool. brings about a tonne of interesting new technical challenged. I spend a lot of my time will all that stuff, in fact i even do a VR podcast each week. its exausting
 
I'm still trying out if and how I can get into game development
 
6:15 PM
@skiwi start writing games!
 
@StackExchange Closed as not his code, possibly?
 
@bazola But whateve rI think about, it gets too big :P
 
We can't tell, the other is posted as a guest.
 
@skiwi write the idea on a piece of paper, code a prototype, iterate!
 
this was our entry:

and yeah, just do it! i hung out on the unity3d subreddit, the oculus subreddit. chatted to some people, made some contacts and thats that

@RubberDuck Got the name validation done.
 
you meet people, get a team going and before you know it you are having a beer with staff from oculus and valve

Q: Reapplying sidebar to S1 Livejournal layout

6:19 PM
I usually manage to complete all the difficult parts and then I lose motivation to do the simple parts
 
Hi, another question related to code review
If someone posts code does it matter where the code came from or what it is being used for?
Ok, so how do we determine that?
Do we question it?
 
Is code included directly in my question? (See Make sure you include your code in your question below.)
Am I an owner or maintainer of the code?
Is it actual code from a project rather than pseudo-code or example code?
Do I want the code to be good code? (i.e. not code-golfing, obfuscation, or similar)
To the best of my knowledge, does the code work as intended?
Do I want feedback about any or all facets of the code?
 
Those are questions the user should ask before they post
My question was.. If someone posts code does it matter where the code came from or what it is being used for?

Guys... ?
 
6:25 PM
@CodeX It has to be code written or maintained by the OP.
 
Yes i know but do we question that?
As someone answering a question on code review
We just review the code right?
 
Answers shouldn't have meta info like that. If someone suspects a question is off-topic, then they shouldn't answer it.
 
@CodeX Only if the user says something. Often there's no way to tell, or enforce that rule.
 
So what if someone thinks the code is part of someones homework? do we not help them?
This guy got slaughtered unfairly i might add

Q: Circular Queue program

tcheggeHow can I make this code more compact by replacing the lines marked inelegant with a more lengthier understandable code? /************************************************************* *CircularQueue.java *Dean & Dean * *This class implements a queue with a circular array. ******************...

He posted some code and asked a simple question
 
it looks like it is copied from someone else's homework and not his.
 
6:29 PM
Downvoted continuously
And?
THat is not your concern
You are not his teacher
This stuff is what makes this site bad for new users
THats specualtion
"it looks like it is copied from someone else's homework and not his."
 
@Malachi VTCd
 
All code looks like that lol
Exactly
 
the site was posted where he got it from and it was originally posted 4 years ago
 
JS1
CodeX I downvoted him
 
I doubt it is his code
 
6:30 PM
You are not his personal carer
 
@JS1 As did I
 
This is a code review site, review the code or don't do anything
Evidence..
 
please compare @CodeX --> pastebin.com/QnvHtTr0
 
No far from a troll
 
JS1
Well I asked in meta about it so you can weigh in there
 
6:31 PM
@CodeX Ban that troll, I'm out of here.
 
I want to clear it up in the appropriate room
 
straying off-topic here guys
 
Its fully on topic
 
@QPaysTaxes stop
 
6:33 PM
Im saying we should take the code on face value
If you feel the code is not on topic don't post anything on it
 
@CodeX it is an exact copy of the code from that pastebin
 
And what does that prove?
 
I am waiting for an answer before I VTC
is this your code? did you write it? — Malachi 19 mins ago

TAKE IT TO META

Its code to be reviewed.. On a code review website
 
@Jamal @rolfl @200_success Could you weigh in on the debate here?
 
Questioning whether it is his own personal code on a hunch is not a rule
@Hosch250 Calling in mods to help you, you should leave this room..
 
@Hosch250 It's already on Meta so it can stay there.
 
6:38 PM
@CodeX if you take a look at our meta site, we have questions pertaining to questions like these. please peruse Meta a little bit. you as well @QPaysTaxes. take a break from chat
 
@Jamal That's what @QPaysTaxes is saying.
And @Malachi.
 
Is that what i said? can you quote me..
 
@CodeX It's probably better if you take some things for granted, there is no point in discussing every single thing
 
@skiwi I asked a simple question, it couldn't be answered so the insults came thick and fast.. same ol really
 
@CodeX There haven't been any insults
 
6:42 PM
It was a general observation about Code Review i wanted to clean up
The "kick-the-trolls" wasnt aimed at me then?
"You're saying that we shouldn't care about it" - QPaysTaxes I didn't say that
 
@QPaysTaxes as a normal user you have the luxury to ignore users that misbehave
 
I'm giving the excessive flagger a break for a bit.
 
Add to this happily mixing signed and unsigned and different types (ssize_t, size_t, etc). This is getting more like a code review. — Olaf 1 min ago

A: Is this question off-topic because of being a copy/paste of another homework assignment?

Hosch250Homework questions are not off topic in and of themselves. However, when reviewing homework assignments, there are certain guidelines to be followed - mainly, not giving the solution directly. Given the clarification, questions with code not written or maintained by the asker are off topic, and...

 
This discussion room for code review is pointless then..
 
one for temporary post hiding and one for general muting across rooms
 
OK, that's my answer to the meta question.
 
I come here to discuss your telling me to go to meta
LOL make up your mind
I was asking for clarification
 
6:46 PM
As for everyone else: please keep it down. Discuss the question on Meta where it belongs. While extended discussion is okay here, all the bickering isn't needed.
4
 
"bickering".. pfft heated discussion you mean
 
We aren't here to define the English language.
 
@QPaysTaxes stop feeding the troll
 
This room has no hope if it starts to get regular new users
 
If you wish to discuss the English language, I believe ELU.se and ELL.se have chat rooms for that.
 
6:48 PM
interesting that I can actually see which of my messages are being flagged
 
click -> ignore
 
@Vogel612 I think all 10k+ users can.
 
np
 
click on the name and select "ignore" from the popup
 
I don't ignore people because I'm more mature :)
 
6:49 PM
I guess this wasn't clear enough: Only flag a chat message as spam/offensive if it's spam or offensive and should be removed. This isn't the designated "get the troll" flag. If you believe someone should be dealt with, use a custom message and explain your reasoning. Or if there's already a mod around, ping one.
6
 
All of them.
I had @rolfl talk to me just yesterday.
 
Yes. If there are multiple comments and they should all be removed, you may flag the question itself.
 
@Hosch250 I was told that for the chatty flags, to only flag one and not all of them.
 
@Malachi what?
 
I'd say depends. if the whole thread can be nuked a single "other" on the parent post also helps
 
6:51 PM
Hi, everyone.
 
@rolfl I think it's more what @Jamal just said
 
hmm... we've got one excess mod here...
 
@Malachi if there are multiple comments that should be removed (too chatty, obsolete, whatever), then flag each comment. If that ends up being all the comments, then just flag the post.
 
@rolfl gotcha.
 
If you flag one comment, though, then please go through all the comments and make sure that all the necessary comments are flagged.
 
6:53 PM
@rolfl I won't have to worry about it much longer though :)
 
Thanks for all your help guys, if i deem the post off topic i won't post on it and i should not question the user who posts, is it yours? is it homework? etc
 
otherwise a mod has to go through and make sure that the right things are sorted, deleted, etc.
You can save the mod a chunk of time by doing the hard work for them
 
@CodeX No, we have these rules for legal and moral purposes, and we need everyone to uphold them.
 
@Hosch250 Did i say anything about rules?
 
@CodeX Right here, you said you just wouldn't interact with the off topic posts.
 
6:54 PM
I am going to take a break and actually do some work now....
BTW.Work
 
I was encouraging you to help keep the site clean and healthy.
 
@Hosch250 Is that a rule?
 
@QPaysTaxes This past week, 362 flags have been raised, that's about 50 per day, mostly comment flags, at about 2 minutes per flag, that's 2 hours of mod time per day.
 
It is not a rule, but it helps keep the site healthy for everyone.
 
@Hosch250 Now your not making any sense
 
6:56 PM
@rolfl I've been raising 30+ per day.
 
I don't want to discourage people from raising flags.
 
@CodeX Here, I'll try to explain a little better.
 
I want people to clean things up, but, it helps the mods if you clean things sensibly.
 
It is off topic for people to post code that isn't their own.
It is our job as site members to enforce these rules.
 
@Hosch250 spare me the bullshit
@Hosch250 I know all that
 
6:57 PM
You don't have to, but it helps the site if you do.
 
@Hosch250 It is not our "job"
@Hosch250 I didnt say anything about rules
@Hosch250 Your being pedantic
 
@CodeX Here you did.
 
Show me..
 
3 mins ago, by CodeX
@Hosch250 Is that a rule?
 
@Hosch250 I said if it seemed off topic i wouldn't post on it
Thats my prerogative
 
6:59 PM
That is fine. However, you could flag it for moderator attention - you get badges for accurate flags and it does help keep the site clean.
 
Thats not why im here
 
Why are you here?
 
OK, that is fine.
