Comment Post #283412 I have added the GitHub issue as a reference (if I understood correctly the missing dependency is installed using a different package manager, but it is the same package).

Comment Post #283198 It works for me, but I am a mod. Tried with a regular user on the development environment and it indeed does not work as expected: https://a.dev.codidact.org/posts/186/187#answer-187

Answer A: Unfair accusation in a comment and consequent loss of *actual* reputation
Thanks for raising this on meta. Indeed the comment author admitted to making a mistake by accusing of copy-pasting from Wikipedia and I have removed all the comments. > However, now my answer is at -3 votes, apparently because of that false accusation. Your answer now has 4 - 2 (only two dow...

Comment Post #282828 I had to remove the comments that are clearly not helpful / not relevant to the question. Please use comments to provide constructive criticism related to the question. I have temporarily locked this thread for cooldown.

Comment Post #282828 As written, this question is quite unclear and very general as it asks about concepts that are used in many programming languages. We expect questions to be more focused.

Question Using Software Codidact as a private community within a company
Short version As you probably know SO offers Stack Overflow for Teams as a product for a knowledge management tool for private use (private teams). I am wondering if it is possible for Codidact to also offer something similar in the medium term. Long version Several years ago along with ...

Comment Post #282708 (2 / 2) Also, a question about best practices without "best" criteria being provided or it appears that it cannot be answered using references or expertise consensus. By its own it is offtopic, but a good answer is possible (makes some assumptions, most likely requiring a question edit to make the qu...

Comment Post #282708 (1 / 2) I think there is a gray area here. As an example, a question being off-topic because "asking for implementing a certain feature (or homework). You should include your (partially working) trials in the post" can receive a good answer. This does not make the answer "off-topic".

Answer A: How much research effort is expected from the asker by the community?
There are multiple questions/aspects in your posts, so I will go one by one: > Stack Overflow which answers many questions While this is true, for many questions SO has an important drawback. If the question is old enough it might have a lot of outdated answers. By outdated I mean anything that...

Answer A: Is it correct to downvote answers to bad questions?
I think there are two aspects here: What to do about offtopic questions? Being offtopic should trigger a close/flagging action. I see voting mostly related to the post quality (useful, shows some research effort) which is relatively independent of being on-topic/offtopic. What to do about go...

Answer A: Should "Hello", "Thank you", "Morning" and similar greetings be removed from posts?
Note: this is mostly a personal preference that I use when moderating the posts Generally, no While "Hello" and "Thank you" are noise (overhead) for the questions and answers, they are also part of how we actually interact with each other as human beings. So, I would let them be. If the "tha...

Comment Post #282573 I have checked the code and your idea worked as expected. I have also included the code that showed me meaningful target frameworks for most of my assemblies. Indeed some Microsoft.* assemblies are targeting 3.0 or 3.1. I am wondering if .NET Standard 2.0 as a target is an issue here (as opposed to 2...

Comment Post #282581 It might be relevant to mention the application type. I guess you are not using a Single Application Page with client-side routing and each stage means a full page refresh, right? (server-side rendering)

Question Sometimes entered tag information seems to get lost
From time to time, I am filling in some information for the Software Codidact tags and I realized that for some tags I filled the information twice. An example would be winforms which I almost certainly edited a couple of weeks ago and today I found it without the description. I added it again...

Comment Post #282044 I am trying to write the usage information about the libxml tag and it is not clear if libxml or libxml2 should be used. A quick search suggests libxml2 much more often used and this also seems to be the main tag on SO (libxml is a synonym).
