    That's one option. Would still be nice to be able to turn off features :-)

    Ability to easily unsubscribe from THIS thread. I have posted my feature request and now I'm getting emails every time somebody adds to this discussion, even if it is not releated to my request.
    If it's already possible then please tell me how. Thank you in advance.

    Could require intermediate results maybe?

    Take some of the math interpreter katas. These would be no fun at all, if "eval" (or "Function") was an accepted solution. Sometimes some particular feature is not allowed by the kata and is/should be turned off.

    Sorting based on concision or performance would be awesome. Upvoting your own solution is okay if the community can self-moderate (which for now could work). With laoris there would need to be creativity. Though I don't consider rectangular boxes of code as particularly creative, other people have different opinions.

    Awesome, thanks!

    Yep. Thats a good idea. I was just thinking about that the other day. Its a quick add so we will try to get it out soon.

    What did you have in mind?

  • Custom User Avatar

    I'm of two minds about this.

    The thing about Reddit is that everyone gets the upvote, so it has no real effect. Upvoting your own solution (and I have done it, I will admit) makes a difference because it makes your solution more visible than others. And there has been plenty of studies proving that people tend to "follow the herd" when it comes to adding to existing upvotes.

    Rather than allowing one to upvote their own solution, it might be nice to have the ability to either

    1. Auto-sort based on some criteria beyond random, or
    2. Provide sorting capability on character length, sloc, complexity, etc. Then someone could more easily find the solutions that interest them the most and provide upvotes.

    I prefer solution #2, myself.

    Hello other Jake. So yea, that's not particularly enough. I could implement something better if you don't have time.

    Disabling language features sounds antithetical in my opinion (unless there's a performance issue, in which case there could be a workaround).

  • Default User Avatar

    That sounds a bit trivial from my perspective. E.g. Reddit gives you an auto-upvote for your posts which you can change.

    Personally, I upvote my own kata only if I like my solution somewhat more than other solutions I've looked at.

    Some people might always upvote their solution, but I don't see how that would detract from others.

    Hitting backspace when textarea is not focussed makes browser go history(-1);

    It would be very nice to catch unintended backspaces.
    Twice now I attempted my solution, spotted the error right where my cursor was, hit backspace and ended up browsing to the previous page because the textarea was no longer focussed.

    This is pretty frustrating when you have been working for a considerable amount of time to write a nice piece of code! If you go back to the page you will get a new random kata.

    Possible solutions:

    • Disable backspace is textarea != focussed
    • Track started kata's to finish them later
    • ...?
