I would say yes.
1. People who hate recs can avoid them by not going into that section.
2. People with PTSD from Stack's moderation can clearly see that yes, recs are okay.
3. Outdoors already set the precedent.
That is, assuming it's not a lot of work to add a section. If it requires changes... (more) |

How are software recommendations handled? How are software recommendations handled on https://software.codidact.com/ ? https://outdoors.codidact.com/ has a "gear recommendations" section, so it seems like Codidact is open to the idea. I saw https://software.codidact.com/posts/287107 but it's about books specifically. What about questio... (more) |

I agree with this, but I think it will be unhelpful down the line to characterize UI/UX as "choosing fonts and colors". UI design and UX design are design disciplines with a lot of depth beyond that. Using that phrasing risks alienating a lot of actual design experts and also perpetuates an unhelpful... (more) |

A: Should I post a link to the Github repo for code reviews? If it's so large that you must link the repo rather than reposting code, I think it is too large to reasonably expect anyone to review. Bored people will read a couple dozen lines, and point out a thing or two. But nobody (?) is bored enough to audit 1k+ LoC just for the asking. I personally would... (more) |

I think he means he's a noob of the site, not a noob of Python. (more) |

A: Questions easily answered by studying a beginner-level book Beginner questions are not a "huge problem" for StackOverflow. They are the main reason SO got big at all. During what I would call its "peak", the joke going around was that the best documentation for any software is its SO tag. SO responded to this by creating a whole site feature around it, and ma...

How to prevent Visual Studio Code from opening an extra blank window? When I run `code .` in a directory, Visual Studio Code opens two windows. The first is empty, the second shows directory I was in as expected. I checked `/.config/VSCode/Workspaces` and there is only one in there for a different folder, so that can't be it. I found a bug about this https://gith... (more) |

How to migrate after SQLalchemy schema changes? When I set up my object mappings with SQLalchemy, everything works well enough. It even creates the tables for me if they don't exist. However, if I decide to add/remove columns (aka fields) from an object, it starts erroring out with my old test data because it's got the old column set. Obviously... (more) |

It seems like the question can be rephrased as: "Why doesn't Python have the same syntax as Javascript?" Well, why would it? Obviously different languages have different syntax and it makes no sense to expect otherwise. If they had the same syntax they would be the same language. (more) |

That command looks confusing and difficult to type/edit to me, which is why I used the form that I did. The temp files are not a problem if you put them in /tmp/, they'll get cleaned up automatically at next boot. (more) |

A: grep AND search for multiple words in files Between-lines relations are not easy to look for with grep, which is a line filter. You could use a regex that spans lines, but I find this annoying because of all the flags you have to set. Grep has a switch for printing the filenames instead of matching lines. You can put each in a file. Once yo... (more) |
