A: Bad spam filtering We deployed a change today that should catch these now. For users below certain thresholds which we'd rather not publish for spammers to read here, new posts are checked against existing posts anywhere on the network and blocked if they match. We also block any posting by users below those thre... (more) |

Welcome! I'm glad you found us. I've found the people on this community to be really helpful and I learn a lot by reading the Q&A. I hope it's a good experience for you too. (more) |

How close do the types need to be? Are all numerics lumped together? Is `1 === 1.0` true or false? (more) |

Wow, given that the Parquet format is columnar and the headers describe the structure, it seems kind of wild that this bug exists. (more) |

A: Tag picking when asking a question is broken This is now fixed. Suggested tags are now ordered by length, so an exact match on a short tag like `c` will not be pushed down by fuzzy matches on longer tags like `gcc`. (more) |

Ouch! You've asked `c` questions before, so I assume this is new behavior? (more) |

Thanks for compiling this list. SO has 18 years' worth of data; should we also try to identify the top tags just within the last few years? It's possible that some older languages have dropped in recent priority (Java? PHP?) and that some newer ones are climbing rapidly but haven't overcome SO'... (more) |

A: What questions are we most urgently missing? I've had (and likely will still have) beginner-level problems in learning Ruby and/or Rails. something about... When I've run into problems so far, I didn't have a good-enough understanding to be able to form a proper question, and instead got help from other developers in the project. So ... (more) |

One possibility could be to use a discussions/recommendations/etc category to collect information, and then have a knowledgable person distill it down into a canonical question or article in the Q&A section. The discussion remains available for those who want to keep discussing, and the canonica... (more) |

I've started a [discussion on main Meta inspired by part of this post](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/295174). I'd love to see your and everyone else's feedback on the ideas I suggested there.

Thank you for the detailed feedback! Capturing first impressions is really helpful for those of us who've been here long enough to forget, and you've done a great job in explaining your reactions. Much appreciated! (more) |

A: UI says pending edits when there are none This is a bug, not caching -- we are failing to show pending edits on deleted posts. If you can see deleted posts you should see the pending edits, and if you can't see deleted posts you shouldn't see the dot for them. Thanks for the report. (more) |

A: Renaming a tag to an existing one fails silently Renaming to an existing tag now gives this error message: > Failed to rename the tag. This is at least an error message... The error handler there only knows that it failed, not why, but I think we can check for the already-exists case nearby and produce a better error message. I've filed ... (more) |

I linked to this question on Mastodon, hoping to find someone who can answer, and got [a response](https://masto.deoan.org/@neurovagrant/114535585088751040) saying probably not but you can try `rndc dumpdb -cache`. I don't know enough to evaluate that suggestion or help turn it into an answer if... (more) |

Recommendations for users could also be possible on Power Users, so maybe try a meta discussion there before proposing a new community. (I don't know if they would be interested, but worth asking.) (more) |

This is a good point. I link interesting questions I run into (across the network) on Mastodon sometimes, which isn't the same exposure as HN but probably still helps. Wherever folks are, think about sharing interesting questions in a non-spammy way. (more) |

A: Do we want MathJax? Based on the activity here and discussion in chat, I've enabled MathJax on this community. I don't know Mathjax myself, so as verification, I'm copying some Math I found in this Mathematics post: > In the proof of Theorem 2, we are aligning the $x1$ axis with the vector $\gamma$. That is, $... (more) |

Since leaving that comment, I've set up a local server and confirmed that yes, if there are pending migrations when you start the server, you'll be prompted to run them. Our production deployment script catches that before it gets to starting the server (no prompt, which is good for an automated... (more) |

@#63480 thanks for the Wikipedia info. Their RfA process is the kind of lightweight approach I'd like us to take here. Basically: propose candidates, give the community a chance to weigh in with support or concerns, and then proceed. Unlike on SO, Codidact mods do not have access to any PII, s... (more) |

| Comment | Post #293312 |
This is a good point: we failed to say anything about selection. This decision belongs to the community, not the staff, as much as possible. If we get one nomination and all the votes are upvotes, we'd just appoint that person (uncontroversial). If there are a bunch of nominations or some have... (more) |

Call for moderators (2025) The Software Development community on Codidact recently reached an important milestone. Thank you to everyone who invests in building this community.

Yes, it's too difficult to earn the higher abilities as things are implemented now, and we've wanted to rework this for a while. [This Meta question](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/288363) has a lot of discussion of how we might address this -- more input welcome! With the system we have now, ... (more) |

A milestone for Software Development - congratulations! When we launch a community on our network, it starts in "new community" mode to ease bootstrapping. This means that all users start with the Participate Everywhere ability, which lifts new-user restrictions (mostly rate limits). The Software Development community is doing well -- you have a l...
