This is what is so great about stackoverflow. If you ask a question about how do something someone usually comments back and says what have you tried. If you show them what you've tried someone else says it's a code review. — DCR 6 secs ago

@DavidWilson Please read A guide to Code Review for Stack Overflow users and use caution when closing questions or making referrals. This question says: Now I only want to get "Test1" as Result once. I got it working so far, but I get "Test1" 3 times, because there are 3 folders. — which means that the code is not working correctly, and thus off-topic for Code Review. — 200_success 10 secs ago
@LexLi You've got it completely backwards. Code Review is not a bug-fixing service. See A guide to Code Review for Stack Overflow users. — 200_success 47 secs ago
 
@Mast Part of it may be that I used to close and nuke a lot of questions when I was a moderator. Now I need 4 other voters to help me close a question.

It's just a suggestion. This is your answer, it's up to you to provide a solution :) Codexer suggested to post it on CodeReview for a reason. But, since you answered, maybe you could try a more flexible way. Something that the possible future views might enjoy finding. — Jimi 22 secs ago
 
6:49 AM
it would be nice to have some sort of notice in chat if the queues get very high
something i ran into was not knowing for some questions in the cv queue whether the code functions or not, and not having helpful comments (describing how something is busted) to back up deciding whether to cv or not
thus skipping and forfeiting potential assistance
 
@Quill well, the queues are user specific so for some users the queue-count may be high for others they will be empty
 
good point.....
 
7:04 AM
@Quill SE tried that by adding a red dot to the queues if one of them got high. It doesn't work, since that particular dot isn't user specific.
So if there's 12 items in a queue but I've reviewed all 12 of them already, the dot will still be there.
@200_success Yes, I recall. The community should have taken over, but there have been some shifts lately.
If we just get more people to regularly review the new questions posted by Captain and enter the queues every so often, the problem would just about disappear.
@Heslacher A potential solution to this would be a userscript keeping an eye on the numbers here. Now I think about it, we used to have something like that. This is one of them. Does that help @Quill ?
If you're only interested in the queue the moment the amount goes over some number, I'd guess that can't be too hard a modification to make.
You actually reviewed that one @Quill

I might be missing a button or something obvious.
 
@Mast Like the edit button?
 
@MathiasEttinger That's what drops down whatever is already in sight.
So, no, not that button.
 
I can create a new user for that, but ...
 
I don't have access to feeds management, but isn't there an option before to select which user will be serving the feed?
 
bleh
no there isn't. mods can create new users and edit these users, but...
 
10:44 AM
Captain is user -263
 
Right. So how do I migrate the Feed back to that user?
It's not exactly explained in the RO FAQ.
 
@Peilonrayz Why an edit instead of a self-answer?
 
lemme try work dev-tools magic for a bit
 
@MathiasEttinger Because to me it seems like a hack, I've looked into it more, and the reason I need the cast like syntax is because A 'isn't' a GetableEndpoint or a GetableEndpoint[T]. And so it's not really statically typed.
 
ugh... doesn't work
okay so I can make a new Captain O
but I can't make the old one take over the feed.
which is... annoying
 
11:09 AM
@Vogel612 Can you remove the feed and trick the old CO into picking a new feed up on it's old user?
If that makes sense...
 
yea no...
would be great if I could,but... no

Aloha. Question about posting questions pertaining to coding challenges, specifically codility challenges ... am I in the right place?
 
@user3.1415927 that depends - as long as you post your actual working code with enough context for reviewers to understand the input and output then it should be fine - if you haven't already, take the tour and read How do I ask a good question?
 
Yes, I have working code. (Results: Task Score = 66% Correctness = 100% Performance = 40%)
 
I'm hoping to learn how to improve my performance - it's been my achilles heel in these coding puzzles/challenges for months..
@SᴀᴍOnᴇᴌᴀ Ah yes, I need to go back and review that actually...
 
@user3.1415927 ++
I mean... += 1

@SᴀᴍOnᴇᴌᴀ :lol:
Is there an issue with posting the challenge, my answer, or the results? I ask because of this gem at the bottom of their pages... ` Copyright 2009–2018 by Codility Limited. All Rights Reserved. Unauthorized copying, publication or disclosure prohibited. ` ... and although I'm very not a fan of overused copyrighting/protection, I still want to make sure we're okay with it here on SE.
 
@user3.1415927 relevant: this post
 
My question is about this exact challenge
@SᴀᴍOnᴇᴌᴀ Yup. My first languages were Pascal and Java, so I still catch myself from time to time with ++.
 
@user3.1415927 hmm... this might require we post on CR meta
 
@SᴀᴍOnᴇᴌᴀ Perfect, and exactly what I was hoping to avoid ... but at the same time, I wondered if it would come up. I'll make a post.
@SᴀᴍOnᴇᴌᴀ Should I cite this chat? (I'm fine just putting all the info in the post.)
 
@user3.1415927 you can if you really want... but if it was me, I would mostly point out the existing post, as well as cite the copyright notice (using markdown formatting: > Copyright 2009–2018 by Codility Limited. All Rights Reserved. Unauthorized copying, publication or disclosure prohibited.)
> Copyright 2009–2018 by Codility Limited. All Rights Reserved. Unauthorized copying, publication or disclosure prohibited.
in a post it should show up with a different background (i.e. grey on meta)

Unauthorized copying, publication or disclosure prohibited. I also see 63 posts on CR.SE as of the writing of this question. I'm not a fan of the overreach a...
