@CaptainObvious not sure if I'd vote as code not written yet, I tested the code at the link and it appears to be working... I voted as UWYA and left a comment though
Case-sensitivity of file paths/file names in a Windows environment is implementation-specific right?
 
2:45 PM
AFAIK yes
well
I mean, AFAIK C:\FOO is the same as C:\Foo
 
Strange, I have a client using our desktop application to export a certain file to save a copy locally, when they type the path by hand or browse to it it works fine, but the application seems to save an ALLCAPS version in a certain setting and that one doesn't work when it auto-populates
 
if you try to name one file "File" and another "file" it won't let you they are the same.
NMI
 
The client will enter/browse to S:\FINANCE\claims which will work fine, but the setting saves S:\FINANCE\CLAIMS and for some reason that won't work... could also be Citrix though or some other thing in the application
 
is CLAIMS a folder?
 
Yes
 
2:58 PM
have you checked what permissions are being given to the folder?
 
Yeah it's not permissions, already checked that
The one on the left is the saved setting that's purportedly not working
Oh well I'm just triaging and saw that, was hoping there'd be an easy fix, but I'll let a specialist look into it
 
what if the user creates the directory ahead of time?
@Phrancis oh gotcha
 
@Malachi The directory already exists, it's trying to save a file into it
 
The application isn't accessing the foldeR?
 
Maybe
The one on the right is supposed to auto-populate based on the setting on the left
 
3:03 PM
if that is the case then it has to do with the matching of path.
change the folder name to caps, and I bet it works. on the user machine
the regex for finding the directory should be case insensitive, but seems that it is case sensitive..... REGEX FTW
 
Regex for finding directories? What kind of sorcery is that ;p
 
if I saw the code I could probably fix it.
probably not regex
but string matching
there is probably an option on something to make it case insensitive somewhere.

What your code does is central to a peer review. Walk reviewers through your code, tell us what it's doing - put some effort into your post, be it only because reviewers are going to be spending anywhere between 30 minutes and two hours of their lives improving your code. Yes, what your code does matters. Very much. See How to Ask and Simon's guide for posting a good Code Review question for more information. — Mat's Mug ♦ 9 secs ago

5:11 PM
@Mat'sMug To be fair, I think it's unrealistic to expect someone to review code with no context at all besides "Here is a part of my code inside the controller"
Certainly, a controller is not just a generic thing, all controllers do something specific don't they?
 
a controller is an architecture/pattern artifact. might as well say "here is part of my code inside the repository"
 
@Mat'sMug "Here's a function I wrote."

I'm pretty sure "you shouldn't write this code to begin with" is a lousy review.

A: Rate limiter utility class

Kevin WrightI'm going to go, maybe, slightly off topic for the site and review the need for this code to be written in the first place... before you go too far down this particular rabbit hole :) Given your use-case of sending messages to other systems, have you first considered existing solutions? In part...

 
@Donald.McLean "I'm going to review your code by not reviewing your code and suggesting a library instead"
 
@DanPantry I just wrote some nasty JS code. ;)

That UNION in the nested subquery can't be good for performance... but agreed with @JuanCarlosOropeza either here or on Code Review we would want to see the execution plan and such. — Phrancis 50 secs ago

Q: Server connection handler in python

user103318I am working on a project of a server for a smart house. This part of code is responsible for communication with client (separate application), sending requested data and ensuring everything is safe. I've decided to use multithreaded version of python socketserver in order to avoid bottlenecks (I...

 
I'd recommend posting your actual code in its full glorious context over at Code Review, with a title that tells reviewers what your code is doing (i.e. not "shorten nested ifs"), and then walking readers through your code and the problem it's solving. I bet you'll like the answers you get. — Mat's Mug 43 secs ago
Yes, making code better, more readable and maintainable is exactly what the scope of Code Review is about. — Mat's Mug 9 secs ago
 
@Mats Mug. This is not a competition. I do not want to show other people how smart I am. This is an honest endeavor by a programmer who continuously wants to write better, readable, maintainable code. And in that endeavor it seeks the help of much smarter minds on this forum. Please try to understand that. — PeterJ 2 mins ago
wtf, a "competition"???
 
uh
That's a strange way to look at it

> I'm not posting on CR because I don't want people to think I'm showing off
eh, whatever
 
okie...
Seems like more often than not it's more of a walk of shame than "showing off" ;D
 
@Mat'sMug So post it on Stack Overflow which is clearly the site with lower traffic.
 
(at least, in my case)

So whats your question? This isn't a code review site — redFIVE 38 secs ago
 
If you're using any half-decent IDE your compiler should help you answer your own question. Look at your build output. — Mat's Mug 8 secs ago
 
To be honest, this question would be better suited on codereview.stackexchange.com - answers are going to be subjective and therefore this question is not a good fit for this site. — Matthew Watson 8 secs ago

Ripe zombie; open question with answers, at least one answer having score 0, no answer having score > 0: Script to redo a rails migration easily
 
8:11 PM
@MatthewWatson not even. It's just a poor question, phrased in an opinion-seeking way that's off-topic just about everywhere on the network. It would be on-topic on Code Review if OP included their actual, real code, some surrounding context, and explanation of what problem the code is solving, and interest in feedback on any & all facets of the code rather than merely being focused on gotophobia (although gotophobia is a valid concern to express in a good CR post). — Mat's Mug 38 secs ago

Q: Python script to identify audio using Gracenote

Thomas BarrettThis script records audio from the computer's output and passes it to a C program that fingerprints it and queries the Gracenote database. If it identifies the audio then it offers options to look it up on Discogs. I made this because I wanted a way to identify tracks in DJ mixes that didn't invo...

 
8:46 PM
@CaptainObvious pretty cool question/code IMO
Of course me being a sucker for anything audio has me biased
 
Wait... is it OOP?! There's only like one class?
 
I removed it. They probably used it because the question asks if it would be better to be more OOP
 
Should probably have read the text. No wonder I was missing something
 
Certainly not all things call for OOP, but that there is a lot of code for Python, IMO
That main method is huge
 
Yeah, it could definitely do with more functions. Kinda reminds me of a question I saw that had a 200/300 line main, :/

Oh, no it was ~360 lines!

I don't know why you'd let it get that long.

It looks mostly fine to me. You should probably only take in a single starting node instead of a list. And in Python don't use camelCase, write add_child. Also ask this kind of question on codereview.stackexchange.comAlex Hall 7 secs ago

Q: Customized streambuffer for C++ istream

Well, I wrote the most abstracted CSV serializer out there, I think.
You can literally serialize any List<T> to a CSV/TSV/_SV file with anything as the row and column delimiters.

Q: Serializing properties to delimited files
