My one and only issue with SO is how aggressive we are in closing questions. Take this one - I found it via a Google search, it's highly upvoted, and has an excellent and well-maintained accepted answer that was extremely helpful to me, a developer. Why close it then? This question has not proven to solicit debates, argument, polling or extended discussion. If it is closed, we reduce the body of knowledge that programmers have access to, which is the opposite of the spirit and intent of SO, IMHO. — Ryan Shripat 1 min ago

@GiannosAntoniou: That's wonderful, but Stack Overflow is not a software engineering Q&A site. It's a programming Q&A site. If you can be a little more specific (i.e. "we're thinking of doing X, is that a good idea?" instead of "what are some good ideas?"), this might be a good question for Programmers.SE. — Kevin 59 secs ago

Upgrade to Yosemite, which is directly to involve programming tools including webstorm, virtual box, eclipse... ok... this is why I dislike stack overflow, too many NO practical experienced programmers here to waste their time to earn reputation points to make their CV looking good, and never have time to think about real valuable answers. — Ben P.P. Tung 13 secs ago

Hi...stackoverflow, You don't need to put my question on hod. I won't change my question, or ... Please kill my account and all my answers here. You are just a site for some programmers to earn reputation points to get good job. I don't need good job. I just need to work productivity to make my life better. If You believe the question is not programming involved directly, please kill my account and all my answers. I can find my answers in Google and other communities ( virtual box, webstorm, eclipse..etc ) Good bye. — Ben P.P. Tung 1 min ago

But anyway you go against the SO rules. For any programmers, if there is nothing that directly fits your requirements, build it. Not to mention you can find many wrapper already for Core Audio APIs, netcoreaudio.codeplex.com — Lex Li 2 mins ago

There's also the third possibility: sleeping even though you're not busy waiting, which is marginally evil. Some new programmers will do print("processing..."); sleep(3) so it makes it look like their program is thinking really hard ;-) — Kevin 1 min ago

NullReferenceException is a common situation for beginner programmers. The link provided should help you understand the problem. Then use the debugger to find what/where/when you have a variable that is null. — Soner Gönül 1 min ago

@TanmayPatil: I was being a little bit sarcastic here. My point was that programmers just love to claim things about code performance without ever measuring execution speed, or without measuring it under realistic circumstances. — Christian Hackl 46 secs ago

@AlexanderSolonik You know that's what programmers do :D — Rizier123 26 secs ago

@rckoenes - to be clear, this wouldn't be on topic for Programmers either. Programmers is a lot more about conceptual design issues than it is about advice. — GlenH7 2 mins ago

OTOH, some people caution against super, especially for new Python programmers (e.g., Lutz). I avoid it. — neuronet 14 secs ago

Depends what you mean by legitimate. Is it possible some programmers may choose to do it one way or the other? Yeah. Is it necessary for them to do that? No. In terms of implementation, though, it is necessary for the iterator to do the mapping between the underlying storage order and the order it presents. That's its job. Your insistence that the column-major iterator has the same set of indices as a row-major iterator is making your mapping ambiguous. And that makes it unusable, since it will prevent iterating over all array elements. — Rob 2 mins ago

@David, It seems like generally questions about problems with IDEs in general and problems with Xcode specifically get accepted here. According to the Help, questions about "software tools commonly used by programmers" are on topic. — BSMP 36 secs ago
