If your code runs correctly, your question may be more adapted to the code review stack exchange. — m.raynal 24 secs ago
You can't do much on the server aside from only include trusted third party libraries that don't try to do weird stuff with your code. Also, code review any submissions to the code base to make sure code is doing only what it needs to. However, that's really standard for any programming language, not only JS. — VLAZ 5 secs ago

Questions about working code can be interesting, but they are a better fit at Code Review rather than Stack Overflow — Nino Filiu 1 min ago
 
@SimonForsberg I down-voted because we don't know anything about the format of the csv input, nor are there any tests to verify his spec. Both LCC and UWYA for me.

@dfhwze Ah, I see. Thanks for the comment.
 
we don't really do code reviews here (there's a separate site for that called "Code Review StackExchange"), but as a general principle, most people tend to avoid the use of Gotos these days.

@Peilonrayz Most of the votes on your answer there was before the "Update"
@Peilonrayz Only has one answer, with a -1 in score.
 
@SimonForsberg Yeah? And if you look at how the close reason is being used it didn't do anything to change it
 
@Peilonrayz Just because people half ignore it doesn't make it right though, does it?
 
We can say whatever we want on meta, but at the end of the day if no-one follows it it means moot
 
12:21 PM
@Peilonrayz Then what's the point of meta?
 
What is the point of meta in this case?
it's done nothing
 
My experience is that it's just a handful of users who, in my opinion, uses the close reasons incorrectly. Unfortunately, a handful is also exactly what it requires to close a question.
 
@SimonForsberg Right, and me complaining on meta fixes that how?
I've tried telling users in chat, linking to my answer pre update, and get ignored
It's now just the way it is, it seems
 
@Peilonrayz Honestly, unsure. It did bring it to attention though. The fact that everyone doesn't follow doesn't mean that the "right way" shouldn't be encouraged.
 
if everyone drives too fast, the speed limit might be too low ... it's not a straightforward right or wrong I'm afraid
 
12:26 PM
@dfhwze I don't think that analogy applies here.
@SimonForsberg When did I say anything about not encouraging the right way?
 
@dfhwze Try to convince the police of that.
5
 
It applies imo because ppl try make logical and intiutive decisions
 
@Peilonrayz The update to your meta-answer, the one I just un-upvoted.
 
@SimonForsberg It equally encourages both? What do you mean I discourage 'the right way'?
 
@Peilonrayz I didn't say that you discouraged the right way, I just meant that in that answer both ways are encouraged. Not only the "right way".
 
12:30 PM
Whatever then.
 
12:43 PM
@SimonForsberg Fun fact: a significant number of speed limit zones in the U.S. use the "85%" rule -- set the limit somewhere 85% of drivers follow it. If more than 15% are speeding, increase it.
It's completely ridiculous but it's also, unfortunately, how things here work.

Often it's not even the speed that's dangerous, but the lack of distance between cars at that speed.

100 mp/h is fine if you're going in a straight line and the nearest car is 5 miles behind you.
Assuming car is in a condition to warrant that and all such caveats, but speed alone doesn't kill.
It's not the acceleration that kills you, it's the sudden deceleration :-)

@Mast A very long time ago when I was in Drivers Education we learned that at 60 miles an hour it takes about 360 feet to stop. The suggested distance between cars for that was 6 car lengths. Also don't watch the car in front of you but the car in front of that.
@Donald.McLean In California there is a safe speed law, but it generally decreases the posted speed based on the conditions.
