Why not google for it by yourself? — derhass 2 hours ago
 
But... but... but... I need someone to google it for me!!
 
@Louis: such comments do not make any sense IMHO. It is not helpful, not friendly. That mentality also hurts the goal of SO IMHO.
 
@LaszloPapp I agree with you.
 
and this thing is somewhat hard to google, or even git blame.
oftentimes I think we should be able to downvote comments.
it is not fair to see such a comment with only upvotes because sadly, there are people like him.
 
Yeah, that specific case is not easily solvable with a google search.
 
"solutation" -> yet another native speaker ...
I am not sure why that question got downvoted, but IMHO, it is interesting data to wonder about, so I gave a +1.

A: How to program with qt

Bowdzone1.: I would only use Qt Creator or MSVS. I don't see any reason for using both, it makes things more complicated I guess. 2.: If you create a dialog from VS using the QtDesigner, ui files are automatically created during the build which you can include in your custom dialog classes. 3.: What ki...

Q: qmake conditional configuration based on OS type (32bit or 64bit)

NejatI want to configure my .pro file in QtCreator in a way that makes it possible to compile on different OS types (32 or 64). For example consider that i want to add the binaries of a library to my project on Windows. For that i install the library through its install wizard and according to Windows...

close vote please.

Q: For Windows - Qt or C# (with .NET, I guess)?

iKiWiXzThat's a question we can read on a lot of forums. But I can't decide which to choose, taking account of my wish to publish only on Windows! I want it to be easy (not too much huh ?) and performant (though, I'm not working at NASA :D). So I'm here to ask you what language you think that will be t...

downvote storm please.
oh, heck, I downvoted three rubbish answers accidentally from the same user. I might be suspended.
 
8:51 PM
Hi everybody!
 
Hi @BlueIce
@hichris123 event starts now...

@rene Hmm, I'll join now for a bit.
 
OK, tnx
That makes 3 of us

A: How to subclass QVector?

cppguyIt's usually ill advised to derive from a container. You almost always want a "Has A" relationship otherwise your class will expose members that users of your class can use which may corrupt the state. Also it looks like you're trying to implement a look up in your class which means perhaps QMap...

such a rubbish answer, and so many upvotes ...
 
@rene Happy hour?
@rene hi! (by the way)
 
@BlueIce Close Vote reviewers.

 SO Close Vote Reviewers

This room is for support and discussion about reviewing and co...
 
@hichris123 only... 300... more... reputation
 
9:14 PM
@BlueIce Hey, the next milestone for me is 10k. Which is 6.5k more rep. ;)
 
heh, unexplained downvote again, yay
 
@hichris123 You can do it! :P
@LaszloPapp I saw that :(
 
that is true I downvoted the other answer, but I gave reasons why.
 
^^ "blablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablabla‌​blablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablabla‌​blablablablablablablablablablabla"
 
9:19 PM
"bla"
comment of the year
 
We (me and my friends) often use it as a shorter version of "pelaamaan", which roughly means "let's play".
 
@3ventic You use "blablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablabla‌​‌​blablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablab‌​la‌​blablablablablablablablablablabla" as a replacement for "pelaamaan"?
Wow.
That's... intense.
 
No, just bla
 
@3ventic well, that is admittedly less intense. :P
so... much... sass
 
heh, two unexplained downvotes.
ok, now, it is really time to take some break... this is getting on my nerve.
 
9:25 PM
@Bart You sound like @TimStone over here.
 
@LaszloPapp ouch. sorry. :( it looks like the downvoters are getting their intended effect, then.
 
this is nonsense to get so many downvotes without explanation, this time for even a working code :)
I am actually close to the feeling what H2CO3 felt... there is no point in contributing to this unprofessional atmosphere.
 
@LaszloPapp No!
@LaszloPapp You can't let a couple downvoters get you down.
That's what they want.
They know that they can mess with you- anonymously and brutally.
And they are winning- whoever they are will get you to leave, just because they are coming out on top in this mind game.
@LaszloPapp You also need to know that you have people here to support you- it's not Laszlo Papp vs. The World, it's Blue Ice and rene and Doorknob and hichris123 and jadarnel28 and 3ventic and everybody else with you.
Don't give in, k?
:)
 
I appreciate your willingness to cheer me up, but SO stopped being fun lately for me, and that is a clear sign to move on.
 
@LaszloPapp wait. hold on just one sec.
@LaszloPapp Look verrrry carefully at all of JXB 's answers.
@LaszloPapp please. I think I know where your downvotes are coming from.

A: is there a method to check if a QJsonObject object contains specific attribute?

Laszlo PappRight, so in general, Qt uses the API "contains" for such things. If you take a look at the following places, you will see it yourself: QHash: bool QHash::contains(const Key & key) const QMap: bool QMap::contains(const Key & key) const QStringList: bool QStringList::contains(const QString & str...

amazing, another downvote without any explanation.
I think there are 2-3 childish revenge people distributing their downvotes the last 2-3 days.
 
... but I just upvoted that... :(
 
I do not need upvotes. I need professional behavior. :-) We are here to improve posts, not to invisibly start revenge against each other if we get critics, etc. :)
not that I do not appreciate upvotes; do not get me wrong!
 
@LaszloPapp yeah, I put a comment on there.
@ThiefMaster @BenCollins Do either of you have a chance to investigate my mod flag? thanks!
 
I'm sorry, I don't have time at the moment
 
@BenCollins It's cool, thank you :)
@LaszloPapp When have you started getting this behavior?
 
9:48 PM
2-3 days ago, when I also started giving downvotes for poor posts, but with explanation.

Q: How to subclass QVector?

mabgI have a class named Symbol and I would like to create a QVector subclass (Symbols) to add some useful methods. But when I use Symbols from another class A, the compiler gives the error 'Symbols does not name a type'. class Symbols: public QVector<Symbol> { public: Symbols() {}; ...

 
@LaszloPapp Welp, I just had a strange circumstance too:
 
I am leaning towards to just close the question. The OP has not been able to provide the necessary information to solve the issue.
 
-1
A: string as a argument in a function in c

Blue Icevalue will not become created if if (TARGETLINE <= NEWLINE_COUNT) fails. The return statement is outside of the if statement, which means that value may be attempted to be returned even if it is not created.

:(
 
@BlueIce: do not defend me if you do not wanna break your career! :)
 
@LaszloPapp I'm okay with downvotes too, you know :)
 
9:55 PM
yep :)
 
@BlueIce Why aren't you a unicorn on SO? -1! :P
 
@hichris123 Well, I try to be a little professional, soooooo :)
 
@BlueIce: it is sad to see you have the same answer, but with downvote.
I have the same answer like the other, and that is 3 upvotes, mine was -1.
IMHO, there are many emotionally led people on SO, which is not quite the purpose of the site.
 
@LaszloPapp Well, the downvoter explained a little, so I can't complain anymore :)
 
yes, you are lucky.
 
10:00 PM
@LaszloPapp NO, THERE ARE NO EMOTIONAL PEOPLE ON SO AND I AM OFFENDED BY WHAT YOU SAID :((((((
 
that is sad state of affairs though that you have to be lucky to meet a productive contributor :)
heh
 
Thank you for this wonderful answer; it really helped me — Doorknob 50 secs ago
^ lol :D
 
@Doorknob BUTT CHEEKO
 
Brown.
 
@jadarnel27 Exactly.
@jadarnel @Door Laszlo Papp is sad because of revenge downvoting and we need to fix it :(
 
10:10 PM
@BlueIce ?
 
@Doorknob about BUTT CHEEKO?
It's his username :P
The guy w/ the "helpful answer"
 
@BlueIce no, about the revenge downvoting. (hover over my message)
 
@Doorknob oh
... nuff said, i guess
 
@BlueIce The ideal reponse here would be "who cares, ignore it"
Also, for posterity:
 
If Doorknob is in the same boat as me, he doesn't know what you want us to do about it, @BlueIce.
 
10:13 PM
@jadarnel27 Me neither :(
I feel bad for Laszlo Papp, but I don't know how to fix it. Thought that you guys would have some ideas because this is really dragging Laszlo down.
 
1 min ago, by Doorknob
@BlueIce The ideal reponse here would be "who cares, ignore it"
 
What he said. It's understandably frustrating to be downvoted for seemingly no reason. But there's nothing much one can do about it.
You could email the team, if it's not being caught by the algorithm, and you think you're being targeted unfairly.
 
yeah...
:(
 
Seriously, why does it matter so much?
 
You think Anna will be mad at me for pinging her?
 
10:17 PM
@Doorknob He said that he is considering leaving because of this
 
@BlueIce oh my... you fell for it didn't you?
 
@ShadowWizard hmm?
 
@BlueIce Quite the overreaction.
 
I saw Laszlo say it dozens of times
And he's always back
That's just his way to show frustration, nothing to worry about.
 
@ShadowWizard oh. hum.
 
10:18 PM
Ham
Wait, I didn't even see what's all about this time
 
I thought he was serious... ?
 
@ShadowWizard: you are quite wrong, and I took several breaks already
and this time I am considering to delete my account
(after a quick discussion with H2CO3 off-line)
 
@LaszloPapp Why do you care so much? Ignore it.
 
@ShadowWizard ^^
 
I really have no idea why you're reacting this way
 
10:20 PM
!
 
@LaszloPapp because @BlueIce posted same answer as other user?
 
@Doorknob: when you will work with professional people and come to this repeating mess, you lose your motivation to be part of this mess.
 
@Shadow No, it's revenge downvoting on him
@Shadow It's not about me
 
Oh, I saw your latest conversation with him
 
@Doorknob: H2CO3 faced the same issue, shitload of unexplained downvotes all of a sudden, and we lost a super useful guy for the community who has put enormous effort into this site.
 
10:22 PM
@jasonC Haaaaaaaaaaaaalp
 
and all why? Because of some stupid revengy people.
 
@LaszloPapp If a few absolute strangers can force you to delete your account, especially a few absolute strangers on the Internet, well...
 
you are forming a community with those few "absolute strangers" FFS.
 
I've discovered an amazing fact: people are people. You can't let some random guy bother you so much. Seriously, it's the Internet.
 
@LaszloPapp I agree that having constant downvotes which are obvious revenge is irritating, like a constant itching
 
10:23 PM
@LaszloPapp Last time I checked, SO has more than 2 or 3 users
 
@Doorknob Hey now. Just because it may not seem like a big incident to you doesn't mean it's not a big deal for him.
 
But still, having thick skin to resist this itching is a good practice.
 
@BlueIce: he does not understand that, nor does he want.
 
The point is, we are here to help, not to critique.
 
@BlueIce: nah critic is fine, but shitload of unexplained downvote is not a critic.
it is just what it sounds ... a shitload of mess.
 
10:25 PM
@LaszloPapp so to sum it up, I would be happy to see you develop thick skin and stay, and sad to see you leave, but understand your point of view.
 
@BlueIce Yeah, but why is it a big deal? That's what I'm trying to find out
 
@LaszloPapp I was referring to @Doorknob's comment
@LaszloPapp No, the unexplained downvotes are not helpful in the slightest
 
@BlueIce Uh, when did I critique anyone in this discussion?
 
@ShadowWizard: why would I tolerate messy crap if I can move away and find better communities?
 
Okay, I have to go to a piano lesson
 
10:26 PM
It is not like life sucks so much that you have to spend your leisure time with such people.
 
@LaszloPapp because you can still contribute? Because by leaving you let those stupid users who downvote win? and more.
 
@Doorknob It's that @LaszloPapp needs support here, not sarcasm. I understand that you are trying to be constructive, but you may be hurting him with your sarcasm.
 
I am not here to win or lose, that may be your mentality, but definitely not mine. It is not a competition for me. It is leisure time for me, about fun, not a childish revenge who has bigger d**k.
 
@Doorknob You might just want to tone it down a little, that's all.
 
@LaszloPapp OK, like I said I'll be sad to see you go. You see, there is place for emotions. :)
 
10:31 PM
I have just recounted, I got 11 unexplained downvotes today.
and I am not even counting yesterday or the day before that...
ah anyway, who cares, bye
 
...
shit
 
@BlueIce I still think he'll be back in a few but anyway, that's part of life
Users come and users go
We did all we could do, no point lingering on it. So, cheer up! :)
 
@ShadowWizard I... just can't bring myself to justify that sort of attitude. Look, I want to make as much of a positive impact as possible, and to me this just feels like a big loss. I just don't know. :(
 
Try saying "brown" out loud a couple of times. It always makes me feel better.
Maybe several times.
 
@BlueIce yep, you probably feel like you failed to keep him around but I'm pretty sure it was a lost cause to begin with. His mind was set before he came here. So, don't let it affect you too much. :)
@jadarnel27 too much brown (at least for me) brings to mind something very brown and very unpleasant. Maybe because I have a baby. ;-)
 
11:20 PM
If I ping people in here, even if they've never been to the chat room before, will they be notified?
@BlueIce Lol. After briefly glancing at the surrounding conversation, I closed the tab and went back to watching cat videos on YouTube.
@Doorknob Dude, I still can't deal with your weird 3's.
@PML Why'd you delete your question? I just spotted the problem and was typing an answer, lol.
^ Wonder if that worked.
 
who's pml?
@JasonC no
unless you invite them
 
The only way I've invited someone to a chat room was with the automatic prompt that SO gives when you're having a discussion through comments. Is there another way to invite someone?
 
if they have a chat account, you can invite them
 
11:45 PM
@BlueIce As opposed to Laszlo here? :/
@JasonC Heh, blame the font
checks It's Helvetica size 13px
