Yes, I can understand, but can you be more clear, what did you not understood ?

I, honestly, cannot improve this article because it's the maximum I can explain, and I think I explain all the aspect around this project.

If you know what is missing or something is not clear, please tell me.

You think it's clickbait ? well no it's not, if you think so, how can I prove you that it's not.

Which article? Can you give us a link to it so we know which one it is?
Remember, we moderate dozens of articles a day, sometimes many more than that.

When you submit an article, it goes to a moderation queue where it is checked for suitability, and the community of moderators - all of whom are article authors themselves - and let through or not. It would appear that five moderators (including myself) have closed it as "unclear". That's not saying "it's clickbait": it it was clickbait, we would have used a different reporting mechanism and your account would have been closed as well, we don't like spam here! Laugh | :laugh:

What it means is that we didn't think it was clear and useful enough for publication in it's present form - that's not the same as saying "this is garbage" or "this is spam" - we have specific reports for those - it's saying that it isn't obvious to the moderators that the article is unready for publication, or that the subject is relevant. We moderators aren't here to make your life difficult, or to be nasty - quite the reverse, we protect the site from not-ready articles, and authors from the derision and downvotes that poorer articles can receive. And to be a moderator, you have to write articles, so we know what it feels like when you slave away on something and Joe Moron from Stupidity High School, Kansas finds out it's not what he needs to hand in as his homework ... Laugh | :laugh:

If we let this though as it stands, it would in our opinion - at best - be ignored, and more likely downvoted into oblivion. We'd like to save you that pain!

But without knowing which article it is, we can't be at all specific as to why we felt that way.

Ye, I used the word clickbait, because I asked what think the programmers on IIRC, and one told me that it was clickbait hehe

But at the end, he was agree and told me my program was like Infinite monkey theorem - Wikipedia[^]

Better link: How to Generate Every Texts/Images/Sounds Possibilities[^] (It shows the text)

Yes, I remember this one - it appeared several times with no noticable changes.

What is it for? What actual use is it? It doesn't start well - it just seems to be about creating "every possible combination of characters" or "videos", or "sounds" - which isn't possible in a finite amount of time or space!

OK, you then "deconstruct" nested loops to do the same number of iterations within a single loop. That does nothing really useful as there is no performance improvement - in fact it may be slower because you are doing more tests.
Then you try to parallelize it - and that's the point at which I give up reading, because that doesn't speed things up either - in fact it can significantly slow it down unless you have an infinite number of cores as the Threading itself adds a significant overhead and the task you are parallelizing is trivial.

So by now, you're doing the same for videos, and then talk about sound. Why? You aren't going to get any useful movies out of it, you won't generate "Bohemian Rhapsody" any time soon, and your text generated isn't going to be the complete works of Terry Pratchett (including the next five books he would have written if he hadn't sadly died).

So what have I just read? Is it clear why it's here? Is it useful and ready for publication?

I have to say "no, I don't think it is all those things" - and that's why I voted "unclear or incomplete" each time I saw it in moderation. Because if I (and four other moderators) let it through it would be lambasted, downvoted, and / or ignored - and that's very dispiriting, much worse than a "it's not ready" rejection.

Does that make sense?

Ok, thanks to be giving more detail to why it was refused.

What is for ? generating all possibilities
What actual use is it ? two uses:
- To be able to generate all possibilities giving a space limitation inside SlotNumber
- To have a more powerful algorithm than nested loops

You are defining the possibilities as unlimited amount of time or space.
But we as developers, have all signed a contract, when starting learning programming.
It's to do our job with a limited speed power imposed by the PC hardware elements.
Video games has known about that and they are doing video games, despite the lack of infinite performance

Performance improvement ? no it's impossible since like video games, are limited to the hardware speed.

As I said, we need to run this program on a supercomputer to have something usable, but it's better than nothing to try this program on regular computer, don't you think ?

It's not my purpose anymore to generate stuff that I can sell, it was, when I was a teenager at high school, as mentioned in the introduction

Here's end, for my defense Big Grin | :-D

Hi
I have made another approach of this project and it's to focus on the nested loop algorithm alternative.

Nested Loop Alternative[^]

I hope it's all good now, that I don't have the pretentious to make possibilities generator Smile | :)

I may not see the tree in the forest here.

My latest article Microfrontends - From Zero to Hero was (to my eye) correctly released (in the web section). However, I do not see it on the homepage (not in All, nor in Following or "Web").

Maybe I am missing something? Thanks! Rose | [Rose]

Update: The article was also not in The Daily Build. I am quite confused.

Urgent help needed:

My website size is 12GB approved. On the cpanel > Web Disk it shows that although the public_html folder is GB but "Other Usage" is freaking 34GB.

I have absolutely no idea what this additional 34GB is. Due to this, my hosting is not accepting to upload any file as the limit is 40 GB only. Currently total usage is approx 47GB. Here is the image for your reference:

Kindly help with "other usage" as unable to upload any file via either FTP or WordPress or directly from Hosting as well.

You're in the wrong forum. This forum is for discussions about writing articles for CodeProject.

And quite frankly, you're on the wrong site too. The only people who can help you are your hosting provider's support team.

Nobody here has access to the servers hosting your site; nobody here can tell you what that extra data is; and nobody here can resolve the problem for you.

How big can a project actually be?

When you're in the article editor, it says that ZIP files have to be < 10MB--yet, I've downloaded project ZIP files from here that are clearly over 10 MB. What gives? Is there a limit to how large a project folder can be and make it onto CodeProject?

While we do need to update that number, ZIP files about 10 MB get iffy. I've had plenty of ZIP uploads fail on me when they get bigger than 10 MB. When they get too big, we use an alternative download location (in some cases you will see that as well).

What do I do when my project folder, when ZIPped, gets over 10MB? How do I make the "alternative download location" visible to users? With me, the original upload doesn't seem to fail, but when I download my project back to a sample folder, sometimes the extracted project doesn't work right--even when I use Windows Explorer's "Extract All" to manually extract the ZIP rather than letting AOL do it for me.

I just put it in the regular class download then link to an outside source (you have my permission). Sometimes I use dropbox, some people use Google Drive. If you want me to upload it, please send me a link. Otherwise it's just:

<ul class="download">
<li><a href="dropboxfileURL">Download source code - 40 MB</li>
</ul>
