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 If the question is old enough it might have a lot of outdated answers. By outdated I mean anything that...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 #282599 I tried changing the title to a more suggestive one. Since this is the first time I ever heard about Nannou, I hope I managed to catch the nature of the issue in the post.

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).

Comment Post #282541 For testing, I guess [Cucumber](https://cucumber.io/) or similar would be a good choice since the rules are written in a way compatible with the examples provided in the post.

Comment Post #282558 Most if not all examples seem to be general purpose languages, rather than fit to manage business rules. When I saw the question, I thought about Cucumber, but I do not have any experience with it and I cannot understand if it can be used to process business rules or only to check them (for testing)....

Comment Post #282536 Yes, I have already performed several tag-merges so far and this is one of those cases. However, it happened once that I renamed a tag and it did not work. If I remember correctly, several months ago it was actually possible to rename a tag to an existing name, thus getting duplicate tag names.

Answer A: Is it correct to ask customer service-related questions?
Asking customer service-related questions is generally offtopic unless there is a connection to the software development process.

Not a direct answer, but it should clarify some things. > It redirects me to where the variable was declared Yes, this is called "go to definition/declaration" and it works out of the box in many IDEs for variables, function names etc. This is due to the fact that the IDE understands what the ...
