Comment Post #290885 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).

Answer 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 ...

Answer 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 ...

Comment Post #289928 Did you mean to add a footnote? I see `[1]` but no referent. Maybe you meant to add something about how to use `git log` to find the right commit?

Comment Post #289737 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?

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? ...

Comment Post #285894 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...

Comment Post #288330 Or we might be able to use (multiple) specific troubleshooting questions to feed into a general troubleshooting article or canonical question or something, and then point all the specific cases to that.

Comment Post #288330 If we end up with clusters of highly-related questions -- different symptoms, same root cause, none yet has that kind of great comprehensive answer -- then another option is to create a trouble-shooting topic that tackles those commonalities.

Comment Post #288282 Welcome! I understand that starting over on a new site is frustrating when you've built up a body of work elsewhere. A few mitigations: 1. Reputation on Codidact is actually just a number; it doesn't gate access to abilities like editing. A track record of successful suggested edits leads to ed...

Answer A: Should we allow answers generated by ChatGPT?
I want to let you know that today we (Codidact team) posted our default Gen-AI policy. As far as this community is concerned I think it's consistent with what you're already doing and nothing surprising, but I want to make sure folks are aware. What we posted is not a deviation from what we were ...

Comment Post #285035 Welcome @#60490 ! We are much smaller than SO, even early SO which had the benefit of Joel's and Jeff's blogs for jump-starting, so the questions won't come as quickly. But that does mean new questions don't disappear off the front page in 1.7 seconds, so there's that silver lining. I hope you'll ...

Question Are questions about language design on-topic?

Comment Post #287454 It was a comedy of errors. At the root of it, it just required changing one number in some CSS. But the design framework (co-design) is a separate piece from the main code, so we had to make the change there and then update the external reference from the main repo (qpixel). But there was, uh, som...

Answer A: The size of the code format window is much too small.
I apologize for the long delay in getting such a small change made and deployed. Someday I would like the blocks to be resizable, but in the meantime, a code block now shows 40 lines before the scrollbar kicks in: ```text 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 2...

Answer A: Should asking about book recommendations directly connected to software development be on-topic?
Are we talking about questions asking for book recommendations, or for a way to share/compile book recommendations? A question doesn't have to be the vehicle for the latter. A question like "what are the best C++ books?" is likely to yield results that are haphazard and hard to manage. It would ...

Comment Post #286994 The strikethrough on 'd'? Yeah, that's hard to see, though fortunately, the diff highlights the line that changed so it's not as bad as when the highlighting didn't show up and you had to scan the whole diff.
