I wonder about separate categories versus tagging. I can see arguments both ways. (more) |

I strongly agree that program design is an important part of programming, especially for beginners but really for everybody because the things we learned when we were beginners might have since been superseded. (more) |

A: Comparing our site scope to Stack Overflow Some relevant history for consideration (not an answer about specific scope boundaries): When we started to discuss a programming or software community, we were concerned about premature fragmentation. We had a lot of discussion, which we ultimately resolved as a single community open to spin-off... (more) |

It looks like the naming convention is currently, err, "mixed". I hope others will weigh in. (more) |

A: I created a tag, now it need edit. Is `stream` the right name, or should it be more specific? If you came across that tag in the wild, would it be obvious that it's Java streams? We also have `filestream`, `node:stream`, `QTxtStream`, `vfs-stream`, and the more general `data-streaming`. A moderator can both rename the tag (if tha... (more) |

Or, I suspect, the asker's thinking is: I'm writing my novel, saving "v37" etc isn't really a good way to manage checkpoints, also I want to be able to easily jump back to a good state from before I added that doomed plotline... how would I use source control to make my life easier?

A: Where should I ask git questions? (Speaking personally, not for the team.) People using `git` are usually using it in a software context, and Software Development's scope is intentionally broad, so they definitely fit here. This is where most of them end up. That's fine. Questions about `git` can be on-topic elsewhere too. C... (more) |

That's a good point. It would be better to default to the current category (by adding it to the query shown on the results page), and then if you meant to search the whole community you could just delete that part.
We wanted to be able to specify categories by name rather than number, like with p... (more) |

Thanks for this feedback. One related idea we want to pursue (haven't gotten very far yet unfortunately) is to make it easier for people to organically add "similar questions" and "possible duplicates" alongside a question ([Meta discussion](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/284169/284517#answer-284517...

A: RSS feeds for tags There are RSS feeds for tags already, linked at the bottom of the tag page. (Yeah, I missed it too; I'll see if we can make that more obvious.) For example, here's the RSS feed for the feature-request tag. screenshot: bottom of tags page with link circled Update 2024-10-02: We've now added th... (more) |

We don't have that now, but since we do have other RSS feeds, I'm trying to find out what it would take to add this one. Thanks for the suggestion. (more) |

That's a subscription for new posts, I think specifically new top-level posts, but it won't tell you about new responses you've received (comments, I think answers, suggested edits). (more) |

A: Enabling 2FA should include some recovery codes Setting up 2FA now produces a recovery code (with instructions to save it). If you later sign in using that recovery code, it disables 2FA until you re-enable it, getting a new code in the process. If you were already using 2FA before we added recovery codes, you'll need to disable and re-enable ... (more) |

A: Allow tagging answers with tools and version numbers I asked a question on Meta about allowing tags for answers a while back. You might find the discussion there helpful. I'd still like to do something to support these use cases; it's not clear what we should do. If we did the smaller thing of supporting `[tag:name]` syntax in posts, so you'd get ... (more) |

Would running the query on a new table -- same DDL but with, say, 10 rows copied into it from the real table -- complete? Would analyzing *that* tell you anything? (The answer probably depends on what that query is doing; if it's some complicated aggregation that only works at all if you've got tho... (more) |

| Question | — |
Should posting on Meta affect reputation? When we launched this community, we did not yet have the ability to set different reputation grants for different categories. We've had this for a while but we failed to follow up before now, sorry. Do you want us to change posts on Meta to not award rep for upvotes or subtract it for downvotes? ... (more) |

Hello! A while back somebody got most of the way to "expand in page" working, ran into some problems, and never got back to it. We still want this, but I think at this point we need to start again and break the work into smaller pieces. We tried to do too much all at once. I'm checking with our d... (more) |
