Q: Why is following python code executing slowly?

Ach113I am trying to solve a needle in haystack using Rabin-Karp algorithm, but for large inputs my code takes way too long time. Here is the part which apparently is too slow: char_map = dict(zip(list("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"), list(range(1, 29)))) def hash_function(s): hash = 0 n = len(s...

Q: Are Advent Of Code questions on topic once we receive no points for them?

Gaurang TandonI'm trying to learn Rust via Advent of Code 2021, and am obviously hitting various roadblocks and solving them via Google. It would be great if someone could review my code to see how to make it fit idiomatic Rust standards. According to AoC FAQ once you receive no points for the solution - which...

There's not enough information. It's unclear if the whole app or its part doesn't work. It's unknown what exactly happens when it does not work. It's unknown what the project looks like, including the setup. See stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask . Depending on your case, you may need to provide stackoverflow.com/help/mcve , regardless of whether you need code review or not. — Estus Flask just now

So are you saying that each double is really just 4 bytes (32-bit) of colour in ARGB format that have been stored as a double? Before reading your reply I guessed it might be heightmap information (which would lead to a grayscale image). This is why such information is key to making your question understandable. You should also show your attempt, though if it's only optimisation you seek (and it 100%) works then it's probably better suited to the Code Review Stack Exchange site. — Llama 33 secs ago

@Duga OP added sample output - no new code. I've added the "none" language to its code fence so that it's not prettified as Java.
 
@Goion: the question needs work before it's suited to Code Review. You should have pointed the asker at A guide to Code Review for Stack Overflow users, as some things are done differently over there - e.g. we need a good description of the purpose of the code to give context, and question titles should simply say what the code does (the question is always, "How can I improve this?"). It's important that the code works correctly; include the unit tests if possible. — Toby Speight 8 secs ago

"so far i'm really enjoying this project" <-- good, keep this up, it makes learning easier :) . I don't think this is the place for these kinds of questions though. Normally, an SO question is very short and concise with a clear answer. You are more likely asking for a general code review of things you made so far. I think you'd be better of finding a senior software engineer/programmer to review your code and functionality. — JustLudo 55 secs ago

Q: Serve rescaled jpg images on demand with myphoto!500.jpg syntax (here 500px-width rescaled)

BasjOn web pages, obviously we cannot serve 4000x4000px photos and just let CSS do the resizing: it would be too slow for end users and too bandwidth-consuming for the server. So it's important to rescale photos to the desired size that will be actually used on the website. For this reason I usually ...

 
If your code works correctly (to the best of your knowledge) and you are looking for a review and improvements, then codereview.stackexchange.com/questions is a better place to ask. They have dedicated programming-challenge and time-limit-exceeded tags. – Before you post there I suggest to run more test cases. Unless I am mistaken, the output of (e.g.) minWindowSlidingWindow("ABCYAYBYCY", "ABC") is wrong. — Martin R 42 secs ago

To be fair, I have not been in a team yet that want to be able to do this, they say they need to be able to keep everyone's work separate for purposes of doing peer code reviews on pull requests. Therefore, they need to be able to see only the code that was changed by a specific person on a specific branch - and this cannot be done through filtering on git/bitbucket itself. So everyone is wondering whether you can absorb commits without merging — marcz2007 46 secs ago

Q: I wrote a script that produces a list of every 1st, 3rd, and 5th Friday of each month in a date range

@SᴀᴍOnᴇᴌᴀ Are you sure it was duplicate code. It's been there 2 months.
 
@pacmaninbw yes - the only difference is indentation; I almost missed the repeated text above the code - i.e. There is a function that draws triangles on the canvas area in each lines:

This is more suitable for codereview. Anyway - don't check that file exists - it is prone to race condition, just try to work with it and handle the error if the file is missing. Explicitly return None is also questionable. — buran 2 mins ago

Q: How can I optimise my recursive backtracking sudoku algorithm?

I've heard of constraint satisfaction...

 
What exactly do you think could be improved? readability, performance, coverage of edge cases, ...? On the surface it seems fine, though I can think of other ways to do it that might be better depending on your goals. If you don't have anything specific, it might be better to ask on Code Review instead, but first read their How to Ask page since they work differently to SO; to start you'd need to provide context. — wjandrea 41 secs ago

Based on your question text, it looks like you already have a workable solution and are looking for ways to improve your code. It seems to me this question is more suited to be asked in the Code Review Forum. Code Review is a question and answer site for peer programmer code reviews. Please read the relevant guidance related to how to properly ask questions on this site before posting your question. — itprorh66 43 secs ago
