I've got an idea for the election stats page - since I'm retrieving the actions of all candidates, I can use the number of items returned by that route to show how many 'actions' have been taken by that user on each of the sites
Oh, wait, I can't - the number currently is an aggregate, because I'm retrieving for all candidates at the same time
Wow, I can't believe it. 16 pages and apparently no mention of Wes Dyer's classic:
Make it correct,
make it clear,
make it concise,
make it fast.
In that order.

That aside, it's a great quote and I'm astonished it's not more widely known. I'm not even sure it's made in Wes, but I've not seen it anywhere else. And he should blog more often :(
@YiJiang, minor tweak ideas for elections, link gravatar to user profile, and link site icon to elections page... I've intuitively tried both in the past
I asked a question recently, looking for examples of an online tool. Per the FAQ, I answered my own question with a few examples that I had already found. I did this so that these examples would be included in the answers, along with the rest.
The question has received only down votes and insult...
Sometimes you spend a day or more to solve a technical problem and when you finally solve it, you may want to post it on your blog (if you have one) to share with the community.
However, most developers doesn't have a lot of time to update their blogs, and that is why personal blogs are not rank...
> You might consider hanging out occasionally on meta.stackoverflow.com, as lots of this stuff has already been debated there. And if you're ever in any doubt about the 'official' line, you can do worse than popping in to The Tavern, where you will generally find knowledgeable "meta-heads" 24/24.
@alexandrui is wrong even by StackOverflow standards. Search meta for 'linkrot'
As for @greg, his theories about question quality may be derived from StackOverflow, but his attitude certainly isn't. Be nice (or don't be a jerk) applies everywhere...

@Moshe Yes, he doesn't understand relational databases at all. I taught him how to insert rows in one table and use the identifier as a key in another table yesterday. And this seems to be a college thesis project. I hope not for a CS degree.
Question 1# (3 marks total)
Modularization is an important concept in programming. Make sure you start your program automatically from a main method (2 marks). Print "Welcome to the program" to the console or terminal (depending on your development environment) (1 mark).

Hi,
I'm getting a string back from my page and I want to make sure it's a date. This is what I have so far (it works) and I just want to know if this is the "best" way to do it. I'm using .net 4
int TheMonth =0;
int TheDay = 0;
int TheYear = 0;
DateTime NewDate;

Updated my StackFlair™ and updated my jQuery on jsLint series. I ran jsLint on jQuery 1.5. Plus, I've unchecked strict white space and checked assume a browser to remove stupid errors.

@TheRenamedException wanna swap for the drivers I just installed that required Mozilla family or IE browsers to install the VPN so I can connect to a client site? Yeah, that's right, because you can only trust Mozilla or IE on the web nowadays. WTF? WHO CHECKS THAT SHIT ANYMORE? You gotta trust the reported capability of the browser insofar as it does the thing you need, but you don't trust me to download and run an EXE (which is what it amounted to, trying to force the install for me)
I thought “you took the words out of my mouth” (Meaning: you've said exactly what I wanted to say – or something like that) was a Hungarian proverb, but I've recently seen someone using it on MSO. :P
The HR/Payroll system at my old job only worked in IE. I despised it because I'd always load it in Chrome, and it didn't yell at you until after you logged in. Setting up IETab with an auto-detect on the url was fantabulous.
for starters, I didn't think you could travel to the same burrough day after day
I thought you always had to goto another one
#2 I thought that they put the bank and the loan shark on the same burrough
#3 I thought that there was a menu to access each of those when you were in the appropriate burrough, not just "visit when you get there or not at all", which necessitates leaving and returning, which kills two days
#4 I liked the twist of spoiling fish, but thought it was a bit much. Still chewing on that one, so to speak
@Moshe I know the strategy he used, but I need more than one run through the game to study your mechanics and to make mental notes of what does what when. Also remembering what neighborhood I'm in so I don't revisit myself helps (see #1) and not having a 9 yo underfoot may help too.
Are you recording these bugs anywhere? You should setup a semi-bugtracker on your website ;)

Ok, that title is going to be a little bit confusing. Let me try to explain it a little bit better. I am building a logging program. The program will have 3 main states:
Write to a round-robin buffer file, keeping only the last 10 minutes of data.
Write to a buffer file, ignoring the time ...
@ircmaxell shy of building a specialty datastream that specifically wraps around on reaching the end of the file automagically (like a linked list with the end node linking back to the starting node) I don't think you can pull this off with less than a custom app
However, what I would resuggest is to log all your traffic to a database and dump traffic older than 30 minutes every hour (so at most you have 90 minutes of data, at least 30 minutes), then have a function that grabs the data and chunks it out to another table with a tag on calling a function. But that's how I would do this if it were my problem. That may not be tenable for you.
@ircmaxell ah, then in this case you can't do anything more than either the one that's upvoted (but with n+x where x is greater than 1) or the db solution (naturally variable growth)
How is a database not a clean or elegant solution? The most that it requires is a pretty much constantly open connection, and you should be able to make it stay in memory
I presume you're wanting to actually get something up and working, and not hack a kludge
You know what you need is you need @DanGrossman to peek in here
I bet he knows something about how to get to the bottom of your problem quickly
or did he already respond to this?
Oh I remember what happened on Wednesday now! So do I bill those 5 hours to the client or to the company for the boss sending me on a task and then telling me to NOT do that thing :\

the tags are appropriate in my mind for the question until a link to the actual site surfaces. I can't know for sure from the question which is the better way to go.

There are 245 questions tagged wildcard, but only 53 with wildcards. I suggest the latter to be the main tag, and the former to be a synonym.
