Q: How to find tag with particular text with Beautiful Soup?

LA_I have the following html (line breaks marked with \n): ... <tr> <td class="pos">\n "Some text:"\n <br>\n <strong>some value</strong>\n </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="pos">\n "Fixed text:"\n <br>\n <strong>text I am looking for</strong>\n </td> </tr> <tr>

Tried making sense of that one ^
@t3chb0t maybe if you're lucky you can say -user:[yourId]
6:09 PM
OK, time to implement a subset of PDN for my checkers game.
@Vogel612 unfortunatelly you cannot negate this expression, but wait! if I used this with all other user-ids but mine, it should work

Q: Abstracting Haskell types to increase code reuse

LambdaScientistI am updating some code I have. I noticed a lot of repeated code, so I took that as a good sign that some abstraction was needed. I have several functions that transition a State from one to another. The code to execute the transition is identical for every file. This: runOneTest :: Config ->...

wound't it make sense to ignore badges? they seem pretty unimporatat or do they have their own statistics? they waste a lot of space
@t3chb0t Well eventually I want to track how many users get each type of badge over time for more participation information.
I just haven't built those pages yet.
And it's only the named badges. Tag badges are not included.

@EBrown Aren't those all Docs badges?
6:23 PM
Yeah, some are impossible.
@Hosch250 Probably. I have to investigate more.
They are returned by our site's API request, but SE might just do that for all sites.
I looked at our Badge page, and they are all awarded.
I know that some of those are Docs badges.

Q: Inner function to avoid repeated code

mattstThere are 2 versions of the get_startup_folders() method below, both work as expected and are called only once. The 1st version has several minor pieces of repeated code which are removed by the use of an inner function in the 2nd version. I've read several times that the use of inner functions...

@EBrown huh, they make site-specific badges?
Q: what CR-specific badge could we think of?
hrgh. ... and sure it's some random project on GH

6:29 PM
@Vogel612 Isn't that Generalist?
> Provide non-wiki answers of 15 total score in 20 of top 40 tags
yea but top 40 tags is a stupid restriction
@EBrown they're SO badges
@Vogel612 aye, but SE doesn't differenciate and , so top-40 tags encompasses it
If your code works, you may want to post to CodeReviews@StackExchange.com — Thomas Matthews just now
we got 170 language tags. ...
top 40 doesn't even remotely encompass that
@Duga looks like he's telling OP to email their code
@Vogel612 right. should count as one? ;-)
6:35 PM
it's probably classified as one ...
yup ... it is in that count
wait, lolcode is in our top-40 tags?? WTF is wrong with the world?

Q: What is the motivation to spend time doing a code review?

Damien RocheI have only recently started browsing CR and have done 3 so far. I spent about 30 minutes on the first one, and 2 hours each on the others. Sadly, because I am reviewing Ruby code (not as popular as JS, for example), and the site isn't nearly as active as SO, I have received almost no views or ...

If I normalized BadgeStats better I would cut it down to 1/3 the space it takes now.

A: What is the motivation to spend time doing a code review?

Thomas WardPersonally, I think everyone has different motivations. Some of us want to help newer coders review their code and offer pointers for improvement so they learn.

@EBrown Nice.
7:09 PM
@Duga This is the chat message that I saw that led me to that SO comment I pointed out.
@DamienRoche Welcome. :)
Greetings to thee!
@EBrown Zombies are considered questions which haven't received an answer in > 30 days right ? I've tried to answer one here if you want to see it and maybe write an answer too codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/147876/…
@denis Give or take, I usually consider it a zombie immediately. I don't let an arbitrary time value decide for me. ;) I actually just looked at that question earlier today.
i've got at least two zombie questions that have no activity heh
Also, @DamienRoche, I won't lie to you: the length of your answers does seem to have a negative effect. I just read one of them and it was actually very difficult to stay focused and read to the end to decide if it was +1 worthy or not. Perhaps there is a way to give the same information, but with more brevity in the future? (Simply trying to offer helpful advice. :) )
7:18 PM
@EBrown I wrote an obscenely long post once... (link) And it had some nice bold headings for faster summary reading. My style, I know, but I think that helps sometimes?
@ThomasWard It very well could. Generally speaking if you're writing a very long answer like that you should probably give it headings, make the first paragraph beneath the heading a summary, and then detail it.
@denis Regarding this answer: I would just use as alone and not use is in that case.
var aggregateEx = taskEx as AggregateException;
if (aggregateEx != null)
    foreach (var individualEx in aggregateEx.InnerExceptions)
        Console.WriteLine("\t" + individualEx.Message);
That's what I'm saying but there is not use of the as operator too Task.Exception is of type AggregateException anyway
I think I have just seem the dumbest bug in a piece of software ever
7:21 PM
@denis You're not wrong. Lol I read the quote block like it was your code.
var ex = taskEx as AggregateException;
if (ex != null)
    var aggregateEx = ex;
    foreach (var individualEx in aggregateEx.InnerExceptions)
        Console.WriteLine("\t" + individualEx.Message);
There's a client for a WoW addon called TukUI. You need to register to use it (okay, fine). So I register with the username 'aredherring'. I try and log in and it complains my username doesn't exist, and that usernames are case sensitive. As it turns out, the client capitalises the first letter of each word in your username. So I type in 'aredherring' (correct) and it "corrects" it to 'Aredherring', then submits it, and it fails.
Sorry to interrrupt. Just wanted to share my frustration.
Only thing I would do there is make ex named aggregateEx from the beginning.
Yeah that'd probably is a better name
Then you don't need to do var aggregateEx = ex;. ;)
I'm not doing that :D
Take a look at the last snippet
foreach (var task in tasks)
AggregateException taskEx = task.Exception;
if (taskEx != null)
Console.WriteLine($"Oh no. {taskEx.GetType()} thrown: {taskEx.Message}");
foreach (var individualEx in taskEx.InnerExceptions)
Console.WriteLine("\t" + individualEx.Message);
That's the whole method while the first 2 where just chunks of it
7:24 PM
Gah, I need to read the whole thing...lol

How do you post a link here ?
@denis You got the () and [] backwards. [title](url)

dang it
Thank you @EBrown ^^
No problem. :)

I should review more haskell ...
Also I'm incredibly lucky I don't have to fully understand how things work to review code
there's no problem with me being slightly silly every once in a while on a meta comment, is there?
('cause I found it a little funny xD)
No, OP was silly on that same one as well. ;)
7:33 PM
I think @Jamal started that actually
@ThomasWard I'm really puzzled about that lack of confidence there...
How would I filter questions by how much answers they currently have ?
@denis answers:n
@Vogel612 Because on Ask Ubuntu nobody can really say "No" to some funnyness. Here I can get sniped :)
7:34 PM
Yeah I tried that but with a space ..
answers : n
@denis Nope, no spaces. :)
@denis advanced search is terribly underadvertised IMO
7:36 PM
You can also isaccepted:yes or isaccepted:no.
Or hasaccepted:yes or hasaccepted:no.
Can I ignore tags :? like [asp.net] ?
You can also -something to detract that from search.
Yes, -[asp.net]. :)
-* <-- detract everything *shot*
@EBrown note that those carry is:a and is:q implicitly
@denis you can even use wildcards
-[*.js] // exclude all the badly named js frameworks
@denis -[asp*]
7:38 PM
That's even better
Excludes all questions related to asp or asp.net, but also (accidentally) .
So a better query might be: -[asp.*] -[asp-*].
And than there are those people that have ASP.net question but haven't included a tag for it .. haha

7:40 PM
@EBrown I can run benchmarks now, still need to setup the columns etc but it looks very nice, @denis the expression without the getter-delegate seems to be a little bit faster... although I have no idea how and what I have just measured :-]
@Mat'sMug meh. multi-paradigm
                 Method |       Mean |    StdErr |    StdDev |
 ExpressionWithDelegate | 11.0642 ns | 0.1261 ns | 0.4367 ns |
   ExpressionWithGetter | 10.8951 ns | 0.0995 ns | 0.3722 ns |
What's that ? @t3chb0t
it's about the getter expression for the typeaccessor
benchmarks :P
7:41 PM
for .1 nanoseconds I'd call the difference utterly insignificant and say code it whichever way feels most comfortable... no?
.1 nanoseconds??? That is all that matters!
@N3buchadnezzar no, that's not truth.
Imagine if you could save .1 nanosecond every second
@Mat'sMug I run the default setup, I bearly understand what it does yet, I need to read the docs
7:42 PM
0.001 is that threshold. :P
@Mat'sMug If you take the error and deviation into account, neither is demonstrated to be better.
@ThomasWard One of us, one of us :)
@t3chb0t would you still reject the compile-time typesafety for that .1 ns ?
ffs cache time out ....
@Mat'sMug I think we had that discussion before
@denis it's the type-safe version
7:44 PM
(The hat)
oh mb

                    this PropertyInfo propertyInfo,

            var getMethod = propertyInfo.GetGetMethod(includeNonPublic);
            var instance = Expression.Parameter(typeof(TSource), "instance");
            var value = Expression.Call(instance, getMethod);

            return Expression.Lambda<Func<TSource, TProperty>>(
@denis these two methods
@Vogel612 yeah

@DanPantry No, I thought hey it might be cool, then I saw the price and ran away as far as I could

Q: Attempting to write jQuery Ajax method that posts contact form data to a PHP email script

JoshCan anyone review my code please and tell me why the email is not sending? I'm attempting to write a jQuery Ajax method that posts contact form data to a PHP email script. Here is the body of the contact form page: <body> <?php require 'Includes/Header.php' ?> <div id="container1"> <h1>...

@skiwi The other option is to pick a phone based on the lack of bad reviews.
@skiwi Given that a contract phone ends up costing £800 over 2 years, a €700 (?) phone that actually has removable SIM cards and is android with decent hardware isn't that bad.
my iPhone 5c cost me the equivalent of €1200 over 2 years (if you account for the currency conversion BEFORE Brexit).
Especially as I'll be travelling quite a bit a decent phone is important
I wonder if @EBrown has a better way of constructing this list?

8:07 PM
F# uses semicolons to delineate array elements?
Those are List elements.
It creates an FSharpList.
isn't a List just a functional version of an array?
Not really.
It has a head and a tail.
Arrays are just arrays.
The aren't like C# arrays or like C# lists.
It's a new species altogether.
I don't really understand, I mean, an array has a head and a tail too.
Not in C#.
8:09 PM
but does it have feet?
@JeroenVannevel No, it's like a snake.
Anyway, each list is like [head = first item; [tail = rest of items]]
And each tail has its head and a tail.
So, it is actually like a unary tree :/

I could do it if it wasn't for the alternating values at each nested list.

@denis some feedback on that
You start off by saying:
> You shouldn't call .Close() or .Dispose() manually the using statement is usually preferred and in your case it will even remove the finally block :
But your final point addresses using null propagation on fs.Close- which you just told OP not to use
I originally had a few words there were I explained that those are just general advises, but I removed them. @DanPantry
Boy, his ReadFiles method is a mess
8:29 PM
Huge mess but tried to improve it a bit..
I will clarify that
@Dex'ter It misses the rewrite phase
Throw all your broken code away, rewrite it, and it suddenly works again.
Or it might still be as broken as it was before
@Vogel612 Looks fine, I guess? To be honest, that question is beyond my Haskell capabilities.
tell him to use robocopy
@denis another thing I would mention is that the way he's written everything means he has to process everything serially
@200_success you're our top haskell answerer...
8:31 PM
@Vogel612 is there an advanced search guide somewhere?
It might be easier for him to use async/await to process all of the files and then put everything inside the internal buffer, if that's possible at all...
@Phrancis [help/searching]
The approach seems rather ok to me, not the best but it will do the job, maybe you have something else in mind that I haven't mentioned ? Why don't you post an answer instead ? @DanPantry.

@EBrown sure. FWIW my answer stemmed from OP's "why spend an hour in an answer on CR and get no votes when I can spend 30 seconds on SO and get more rep out of it" - implying that SO answers were more valuable in some kind of way, and that voting on SO was so much better. Truth is, voting on SO is just as broken as everywhere else on SE, it just depends where you look.

@Duga careful here
there was a mess of comments on that one earlier
@Mat'sMug I do agree with that. Voting on CR and SO are entirely different and neither are ideal.
IMO it's a fine edit. Answers that commented on the absence of that code should have focused on the code that was in the post. OP was specifically asked to include the omitted code. Upvoted.

Thing is, if you want to motivate people to answer in your tags, IMO it goes without saying that you have to upvote the answers in that tag.
And then people getting upvotes are reminded that the voting buttons exist, and happiness ensues
I just want to say I fully agree with everything you've said here, and you've touched on exactly what made me post CRs in the first place. The reputation doesn't mean much to me, anyway. Who cares if I have 150 or 150k. Is that going to help pay off a mortgage? It has zero value to me in the real world. I was just wondering, as I had lost some motivation due to the inactivity, if others had felt the same and what their opinion was. Happy to have found lots of balanced opinions here and a new sense of responsibility as a user of SE. — Damien Roche 1 min ago

"Any suggestions ..." is not the type of problem we solve on this site; it falls under the "too broad" category. "Speed up the code" is something you would take to CodeReview.StackExchange.com — Prune 57 secs ago

Q: java class program

foofWrite a program that has a class List. The list has two numbers as attributes (x and y). The x is the beginning of the list, and y is the end of the list. e.g. if list1 has x=4 and y=7, then list1 elements are (4,5,6,7), and list1 size=4 if list2 has x=12 and y=18, then list2 elements are (12,13...

@DamienRoche The point is that github review tooling is made with a specific ideal in mind. It's made for line-by-line checking of things and it does that really well. What it's not made for is broadly applied critique on all aspects of code and it's also not made for contextual representation of code. It's hard to review design on github. But it's harder to do that than it is to do that on code review. github also has the disadvantage of allowing no other context than what you can find in the repo. on CR the OP can explain what their code is doing.

Huh, I accidentally made my checkers game resign when it can't win.
accidentally ... how??
That's what I want to know.
I'll check it after dinner.
It isn't supposed to resign :(
How can I paste a code snippet here (properly)
4-spaces indented
some extensions allow pressing Ctrl+K like on the main site to switch into code-entering mode

@Hosch250 Can you think of a situation where this wont crash ?

object valueToSearch
if(Client.Name == (string) valueToSearch || Client.Phone == (string) valueToSearch ||
Client.Type == (Types) valueToSearch || Client.Email == (string) valueToSearch){}
Dang it didn't work
yea it needs to be in a separate message
because chat
faq should have a section on it
object valueToSearch
Now it works
I'm looking at this question
Seems broken to me
Q: check if two rectangles are overlap
