Both. However, I think the tooltips are the quick win because they are shorter and more accessible (I expect that the tooltips are read more often than a particular help page). This would hopefully help the users understand why their questions/answers are getting downvotes. (more) |

| Question | — |
Do we need more specific up/down vote reasons for Software Development community? The help center includes a rather generic (it's the same for all communities) article about voting. Recently a user flagged a question asking why it had received so many downvotes. While flagging is not for this type of issue, this made me wonder if users are aware of how upvote and downvote are s... (more) |

How to generate multi-line completions (code generation) with OpenAI? I have finally received access to a trial account on OpenAI and I took it for a spin. My interest is with code generation, so first tried something simple using the playground: ``` Q: generate a standard model for Foo A: public class Foo { public int Id { get; set; } pu... (more) |

I will try to migrate this to the newly created [Power Users community](https://powerusers.codidact.com/), but I will have to clarify if it is on-topic there. (more) |

@Lundin Please check the "what types of questions can I ask here" on its [help page](https://software.codidact.com/help/on-topic). Of course, it is not set in stone, so yes, it is still open for suggestions. Please use a separate meta question to suggest improvements for it. (more) |

Welcome to Codidact. Unfortunately, the question is not on-topic unless you include a reference to the algorithm used by tradingview (btw - the link is broken for me) to compute the exponential moving average (EMA) indicator. (more) |

Etiquette for posting comments Generally speaking, comments should be helpful feedback and the following are not exhaustive lists. Can include - asking for question clarification. Examples: "what was the output of line X?", "can you include the stack trace?", "can you provide a reference for the second paragraph?" - explain... (more) |

A: Is this a known design pattern: a piece of code is responsible for acting as a central proxy for data distributed in various places? General information As indicated in the comments you are looking for something similar to the Facade pattern. It is still not clear what you are trying to achieve, but the X class seems that it will tackle way too many things. In order to avoid adding a lot of logic in one class (even if it on... (more) |

X class (instance) seems like a [God object](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_object) to me. Why do you need to centralize so much heterogenous functionality in one place? (more) |

This is an interesting question. I am thinking of something like Redux which deals with state management. It would be useful if you can provide a simple example like 3 classes with 3 data types to understand the nature of your application (e.g. is the data related to the state or is it something else...

How to easily support time frame grouping in queries? I had a curiosity about how much the experienced users wait for their questions to be answered on Stack Overflow and had written a query for it: ``` SELECT YEAR(q.CreationDate) 100 + MONTH(q.CreationDate) AS YM, COUNT(1) Cnt INTO #acte FROM Posts AS q INNER JOIN Users qu ON qu.Id = q.Owne...

However, I think that we could minimize conflict by replacing some comments with downvoting (e.g. for no research or effort) or flagging (e.g. for seriously wrong content such as homework dumps). I do not see how endless debates in comments help with removing bad content. (more) |

Yes, I agree that snark is very hard to define. Also, agree that SO policy of being way too welcoming is not beneficial for the advanced users (e.g. in the last two years, I could not get any serious question being answered unless I placed a bounty). (more) |

Etiquette for posting comments This question featured a quite heated discussion in the comments which led to some of them being removed.

Thank you for providing this answer. I will soon ask a question on meta about how to add comments (what is OK and what is not OK) so that the community can reach a consensus about this topic. Anyway, I agree that being digressive is sometimes necessary. (more) |

@meriton However, your second comment mostly deals with the poster's asking style rather than the post itself. I hope that I am clearer now. Normally, I would have moved the comments to a separate chat (comments are not meant for long conversations between users), but this option is not available her... (more) |

@meriton This is not what I have said. What I have said is that feedback (regardless of being negative or not) should be constructive. Your first comment provides such feedback by suggesting in a nice way to check a reference before asking the question, because it seems that the information is easy t... (more) |
