Please see the feedback I gave you on your previous post. You were right to include the code in the question itself rather than as links - links can go out of date. If you look at the formatting help that I linked you to you'll be able to format it correctly. (more) |

A: How to speed up MySQL query? Sounds like you may also have a problem with your database structure. A query that fetches 800 records from a table with only those 800 records in it should not take a full second - it should be milliseconds. Make use of the `EXPLAIN` function to find out what your queries are trying to do and wha... (more) |

A: Merge spreadsheet formula tags into single tag Done. I've merged all these tags together and synonymized them. I've also gone ahead and given you the ability to edit tag wikis - we're in need of people who can curate tags! (more) |

It's not possible to answer this for such a general case - it depends what you're dealing with. We'd need more detail about the case you're asking for to be able to give sensible answers here. (more) |

A: Recursion without a procedure ("function") in JavaScript The typical way to do something like this without involving recursion would be to build an array and iterate through that. However, in this case, recursion is a more appropriate option. With tree structures like HTML where you don't know ahead of time the depth or breadth of the tree, recursion is... (more) |

A: How do I search for "i++"? It looks like the answer is "you don't", unfortunately. Because of how our search system works, the "+" character is always treated as an operator. Not that it matters, because non-word characters aren't actually considered part of the index at all - just the words. While this works for most Q&A ... (more) |

If you're using default Devise settings, it'll prevent that for you - that only becomes possible if you explicitly whitelist the `confirmed_at` field. (more) |

A: How to allow sign-ups without confirmation as an exception using devise confirmable? You should be able to pre-set `confirmedat` when you create the User instance: ```ruby user = User.new(confirmedat: DateTime.now) # plus any other details you want user.save! ``` (more) |

Doesn't make this less of a bug, but remember that you can also merge tags if they have the same meaning. Merging data-archiving into archiving would seem to make sense here. (more) |

A: redirect to "main" code in Ruby using Ctrl My go-to IDEs are VS Code for most things, and RubyMine for Ruby/Rails projects specifically. For that specific line of code you're looking at, I'm using RubyMine, which does enable you to Ctrl-click on the view name and it'll take you there. I can't remember off hand whether VS Code does or not for ... (more) |

@Lundin I think we'll admit defeat here for now. I don't have the time to invest in getting this tuned perfectly, and you're right that it's only going to cause more issues. I've turned most rules off except the absolute essentials - let me know if you still have issues. (more) |

A: Text with many diacritic marks are not displayed correctly in posts The solution here is as for many of these edge cases with weird Unicode: don't do that. The difference here is minor enough that I had trouble picking it out in your screenshots. Given that this isn't exactly real-world usage, I'm marking this [status-declined] - if there are issues with display f... (more) |

Thanks, @dmckee - yep, one was my test, which I deleted, which is why you don't see it. That you got a notification for the other is interesting, because that indicates it got at least some of the way through. (more) |

A: I didn't get notification after user mentioning me in comment It's because of the comma. Our comment-ping notification system isn't particularly smart and gets tripped up fairly easily, including by punctuation, so that ping wouldn't have worked. We've got some improvements to the comments system overall in the works, which will include improvements to how y... (more) |

You can hack it with a zero-width space... not ideal, but it works. We don't have precise control over how Markdown parsing works, since we use libraries for it. (more) |

A: Why do I, a logged in user, have to solve a captcha to post? We don't actually serve any captchas: it's all done by Cloudflare. Cloudflare runs a firewall that scans incoming requests and issues a captcha challenge to any that appear to be automated or malicious. The exact rules it uses to do this aren't public, but we can tweak it some. It seems to trigger mo... (more) |

A: How to properly deal with impersonation in a Web application? (security vs. usefulness for tech support) If you've poked around the mod tools here a bit, you may have noticed that QPixel has an impersonation feature, live on prod. It's there for much the same reasons: so that developers can test and identify issues that only appear for one user with a specific set of circumstances that would be difficul... (more) |

A: min-height for HTML form's submit buttons from a web accessibility standpoint There is no universal accessibility standard for how tall your buttons should be. Consider that when you're using a simple link, users have to click on the text itself to follow the link; as long as your text size isn't ridiculously small there's no problem with that. Don't make your buttons smaller ... (more) |
