@Mast me neither, I looked for quite a while trying to find that out for a side project I was working on, I eventually just decided to disable Big Endian byte ordering until I ran across a computer that actually used that, it's a risk but I'm honestly curious to see if anybody's still using it
I have programmed a Gaming Emulator in C# and I have a class to handle all the connection side of things for the player, here we continuously listen for packets (each packet has a ID like a number, from 1 - 300), I just wondered is there any way I could speed it up or make it better performance w...

@kevinlockard Well, your question has a negative rating because all the code mentioned in it works as expected - questions on Stack Overflow should be about specific bugs or programming problems you can't fix. Better take a look at our sister site Code Review. — dorukayhan51 secs ago
My goal is to read from standard input, break up the input into words (Unicode letters and apostrophes), case-insensitively, and produce a report to standard output, where each line is a word followed by a space followed by its count. The output should be sorted by words.
This is my code:

we are currently using Microsoft TypeScript in our project. I came to know that Microsoft TypeScript is following ECMAScript 6 standards. So when ECMASCript 6 is finalized and released and browsers natively supports javascript based off of ECMAScript 6, do we need Microsoft TypeScript?

@JonathanLeffler Yes you are right, I read the T & C of Code Review, and felt that asking this question in similar manner would be bounced back to StackOverflow! If you feel thats the right place, then you can migrate it. And why its required to store in the client code when I want the info from Client after it gets connected rather than Server? — Kyle Reese52 secs ago

I can see that you are a beginner and that is totally fine! Some of the points I will be making might, sound a bit harsh and go over your head. If they do try to improve the parts of the code you do understand, and instead post a follow up question.

@Dex'ter Monking! How is the work in the laboratory going?
I created this code and it works fine, but I think it's ugly. Could you show me a better way to create a list of three different random numbers from 1 to 9?

self.count = 0
self.random_number_list = [0, 0, 0]

You said you had the code working. If you don't, then (a) it doesn't belong on Code Review, and (b) here on SO we need a description of what is and is not working, and how you know, and what you typed and what you got and so on. I don't see a particular need for a data structure per se; I do see a need to know how much data the client received back from the server, because you most certainly shouldn't print any more data than that. — Jonathan Leffler51 secs ago
Could be because of Masts comment 'I've requested an account merge for you. We prefer not to deal with sockpuppets.' Some people just don't like the idea of sockpuppets
I created a pivot table with percentage which goes like this:
in rows I got a specific task and in columns I got regions where the task was performed, plus each column is divided into successful and failed part, so it looks like this

I have a to write a simple utility function that given a time in CST and a date in PST, tells if the date is today and if the current time is less than the cutoff (post converting cutoff to PST).
This is my attempt (highly childish but I seriously don't get java date-time at all). If anyone coul...

I have a program which finds, well, a magic square of squares. The problem is, it's quite slow - it processes around 50 numbers in half a second when the number range is above 40,000.
Is there any way to improve this code?

listin2 = listin[1:]

so much wording issues in these arguments eventually
"unnecessarily" - okay, so it could be better, and there is no good reason for it to not be better at the moment?

For a company that is supposed to think of everything a normal person might want to do in Excel, I struggle to understand why Microsoft never built a date format for "1st, 2nd, 3rd etc.".
@Mast There's no such thing as "Too Localised" for Microsoft. They're supposed to support everything. And it's not exactly some fringe, uncommon, formatting.
@Pimgd Most of the time I can split things up really nicely. Proper tables and lookups and indexing and refactoring and SRP. But here, I just needed today's date with ordinals in a single cell.
@Mast I'm a strong believer that, where possible, things should be done in functions. That way you don't have to get a VBA expert to come in and fix it when it goes wrong/needs changing. Assuming the end user even knows that VBA is involved there.
@Mast I just made a mistake writing. My intentions was to point out that it is strange when someone writes an answers to a well proposed question. But does not upvote the question.
However I also see your point. If I do like the other questions I do upvote them. However more often than not, I tend to write answers where the other answers either have gotten something wrong or if I am feeling like a jaded old fart.
This is a well-known CR problem. We, as a general community, just don't vote anywhere near as much as we should. I'm as guilty as anyone else. only 3 votes/day on average this year.
I vote mostly on python, I mostly vote on places with answers on questions with my answers. But I've been tired lately, and have not really been on CR as much as I'd like lately, ):
@Mast Is that not the same? People have different thresholds for voting. If I do not vote for an entire month, it might be my expectations are Too damn high.
Easy way to cash in that rep. On the serious side I have looked at the question. But without memoization or recursion, there is not really much that can be done to speed it up.
I've created a little hangman game. It's pretty simple, and not to exciting but I want to know if there's a way I could turn this little game into something more extravagant and more exciting. How can I take this delicate piece of crap machinery into something a little more fun and a bit more com...
Questions which explain more about the underlying design or the thoughts behind them or why they do what they did are a lot better than "I made X, X does blah, code dump"
@SimonForsberg Spent ages writing a long review for that one. Think that it was too long to deserve any upgoats though =/ Will try to write them more succinct in the future.
@DanPantry The link to the gif is in the title of that section. Had some problems figuring out how to link it properly. And thanks for the nice words =)
@SimonForsberg I wasn't recommending blindly-upvoting anything and everything. I was recommending a little psychological push to go and actively seek out things worth upvoting.
@SimonForsberg There was a time a while back when I actively went through the vba archive reading everything and upvoting everything I thought was useful. I might revive that habit.
Someone downvoted a good question I wrote. Time to call FBI, CIA, KGB, The Triads and my mom to figure out who did this. The revenge will be swift and downvotelly
