We had a saying here in the past: "Spare the rod, spoil the child".
I don't agree with physical abuse, but it's important for kids to have rules, discipline, motivation and support in life. Miss out any of those and you're just heading for trouble.
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

And if you miss several of them (as we are doing nowadays) doom is unavoidable

Fear of failure is a nightmare. My parents attributed most. Gradually started to realize the need for validation is heavily caused by lack of mental support by my parents. May be...
I do not fear of failure. I fear of giving up out of frustration.

That was horrible - the kid is so stressed out, she's borderline neurotic towards the end of the video.

I can see it particularly more prevalent in a developing country such as India, because there is more at stake. I assume there is no government pension; so it is expected that the children will finance and take care of the parents when they are elders. And being elderly might begin around 50 years old for those parents. Unfortunately, many times children end up like their parents. One of the reasons is hereditary and the other is that children learn the most from their parents. I can see a parent getting upset teaching their child as they themselves where not academically successful. Have you ever noticed that most doctors have parents that were doctors? It is hard going from parents of street vendors to successful academics.

Children should be encouraged to get an education, and uneducated should not be coddled and then held up as a "good" example. That's PRECISELY what's wrong with the world today. Children are less educated today than they were when I got out of high school.

In more ways than one.

Heck, my sister's kid must've missed at least 10 full days worth of schooling last winter because, nowadays, if there's as much of a single snowflake in the weather forecast, buses don't run--and more often than not, it turned out the forecast was completely wrong and we didn't anything at all.
Did they extend the school year to make up for it? Hell no. In the end, something has to be skipped.

Yesterday, I was trying to help with a problem in QA where the OP can't get his code to do anything except show: "The program has exited with code 0 (0x0)". I'm assuming he has messed up VS, or done something stupid in a constructor, and needs to locate exactly where it's failing.
Today, he posts his entire code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello World";
return 0;
}
It's getting harder and harder to deal with some of these people politely without banging my head on the desk repeatedly...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

May be the IDE or some other program staying always on Top & not letting the output console to show up? And the OP was just trying to see a "Hello World" ?

Yet another reason why students should not be allowed near Visual Studio (or any other IDE) until they have at least learnt the basics.

No. The console window will open and immediately close again when the program exists. If you blink at that short moment, you will not even notice it.
The user can't update the up: we update it for them (Choice in the CP poll)

Good catch. In vc run with f5 cause the console to disappear. Haha

I know many here aren't keen on it, but I still think there should be a minimum standard for questions that should be applied. Not quite StackOverflow's insane level, but just something to keep the QA section useful and usable (and give us a fighting chance of answering questions rather than asking the OP to post his code every time).

May be add multiple yes no box on submit.
Have you add your code?
On yes
Are you sure you picked the right part?
On yes
How about error messages?
You get tge idea...

Could work, but my guess is everyone would just automatically check them.
Maybe a "in review" queue where questions can be rejected and sent back to the OP for improvement before they're published to the wider community? Or even an "in review" list which is visible and that we can look at, accept or reject (with comments) but not answer? So the question has to be accepted before it can be answered..

My suggestion was a joke, but your suggestion make sense. But if an op has issue with language and some butt hurt refuse to let the op pass, would be very much discouraging

Language improvements could be part of the suggestions made back to the OP - people reading the question have to be able to understand what's being asked.
I've seen quite a few questions where it's impossible to tell what's being asked, and often they never get any kind of answer - what's the use of content like that on any site? What does anyone learn from it?

Well don't be so down on yourself,
seems to me like you actually got one of the smarter posters with a tad more skill than others...
these days most when asked to show their code post pictures of it (and yes, often taken with a mobile phone.)
At least this guy figured out how to paste the actual text.
signature upgrading ... please wait.
