Q: Homework assignment - trigger syntax issues

Otherwise, I think I've got the substance (assuming syntax errors don't necessitate a change to the guts).

Q: Scrabble Scorer in Python

pythonier500I made this Scrabble with care since it will be mainly used by family that will not understand the error codes so that is why I catch basically every possible error, to make it user friendly.

@CaptainObvious Setting __name__ = "end" in an attempt to escape infinite recursion; that's one hell of a hack, sheesh.

Q: Elm spa structure

James SchinnerThis code is a working example of an Elm application (0.19.1) that is spread over two files. The idea is to have a file for each page of the app and have the Main.elm file import and connect the pages (exactly the same idea as the elm spa example) This is a bare bones example, that I intend to b...

@Mast Oh my!
 
@Mast Evidently I've not read it yet, but my view is that there's two groups; the meta people that think one way, and the closers that think another. At the end of the day the closers have the power, not me. I'll read over it now to see if that's taken into account :)
 
@Peilonrayz If you mean there's stubborn people out there voting with the wrong reason, yes, I think I mentioned that.

This place isnt meant for extensive code reviews. As said: it is best that you find real humans willing to sit down with you. Alternatively, see codereview.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic ... and then write up a question that fits that community, to ask for feedback on specific aspects of your code. — GhostCat says Reinstate Monica 7 secs ago
 
@pacmaninbw Clarified the question based on your comment. Better?
If not, I'll make more edits.
 
Code review questions should normally be considered off-topic on stackoverflow. The main goal of SO is to be an archive of solved problems that programmers are likely to encounter. Most code review questions are only useful to the original asker, and will likely never be useful to anyone else. — James Reinstate Monica Polk 58 secs ago

@pacmaninbw Specification is about the task, description about the code.

@Kaz VBA?

@pacmaninbw Very much so.
I try really hard not to develop anything these days, but I had a spare couple of hours, and there's a manually intensive client-based spreadsheet report that takes up a significant amount of the admin team's time, so I figured I'd throw something together.

Qt uses C++ as it's language. Also, what is your question specifically? I see a bunch of code in front of me but I am not sure what you are specifically stuck on. If you want us to review your code you're on the wrong forum. There is a code review stack. — Sailanarmo 59 secs ago

7:50 PM
@Mast thanks for writing this up, been discussing LCC among moderators lately. One problem is the LCC-happy close-voters. The other problem is close queue reviewers rubberstamping LCC close votes that should have never been cast in the first place.
 
@MathieuGuindon Please pardon my ignorance. How are they not the same problem?
 
one particular LCC-happy close voter does not do close queue reviews
but they're very often the first one to cast a LCC vote
 
Ah that makes sense :)
 
LCC-happy close voters wouldn't be a problem without rubberstamping going on in the review queues
recently there was a bunch of posts from 2013-2015 in the close queue, answered questions voted LCC and comments asking for clarifications 6 years later, on an answered question.
makes us look like a bunch of stuck-up elitist clowns

@Amy FYI Code Review will have a very hard time working with code that has // ... comments all over the place, and routinely closes this kind of post within minutes. It would be a better fit on CR if OP was interested in feedback on any/all aspects of the code - this is just an out-of-context snippet with nested conditional logic, stripped to a bare illustrative minimum. As it stands this is absolutely NOT a better fit for CR. — Mathieu Guindon 48 secs ago
