Welcome to Software Development on Codidact!
Will you help us build our independent community of developers helping developers? We're small and trying to grow. We welcome questions about all aspects of software development, from design to code to QA and more. Got questions? Got answers? Got code you'd like someone to review? Please join us.

Thanks. We usually do backports by cherry-picking the commit to master (so, merge feature-x to master, then cherry-pick that commit to release-foo). That wouldn't work in this case because feature-A isn't coming to master in its own commit, but we could cherry-pick the last commit on that branch in... (more) |

Thank you! That explanation is very helpful, and I think you've answered my other question. In the future I might need to merge feature-A, without feature-B, into a previous release's branch, so I was looking for a solution that wouldn't pollute that. I think in that case I'd just merge feature-A ... (more) |

Correct. I was going to massage that output to match the feature names in the question, but I didn't want to accidentally remove something important. (more) |

The latest two commits there are on feature-B; the previous two on feature-A; previous ones from master. (more) |

Not sure what I'm looking at; does this help? (Lots of older stuff from master, as expected.) (more) |

This user had created two accounts and asked for a merge. I'm guessing that this post was created by the "other" account, the one that got merged in. (While the post shows a user, the history shows "deleted user" for some entries.) We haven't needed to do a lot of merges and apparently missed a ch... (more) |

That might be the case. We had this problem with a deleted user once before, but I thought we'd fixed the systemic problem and not just that instance. I'll ask the devs to investigate. (more) |

I think the lack of a meaningful error message counts as a bug. While folks on Software Dev might instinctively reach for the console to see what happened, that might not be true on, say, Cooking. We shouldn't make users dig; we just missed a case here. Thanks for the report. (more) |

An alternative approach that avoids Discord would be possible when threaded comments are finished. (I've just been testing the current branch; stuff is happening.) Once comments don't all overwhelm the page but instead are off in collapsable (and collapsed, by default) threads, it doesn't matter as... (more) |

We have a Discord server for our communities, with channel groups for each community. I don't know very much about Discord admin, but if we could figure out a way for people to create new channels under those groups without moderator intervention, then people could take a conversation there if they ...

I realize it's only part of your question, but moderators can create and edit help topics, so if the community wants to work out some better guidance, you can put it in place. (more) |

Oh I see. So we could have also made it `>= 20` to get 8PM. I don't know why I didn't do that instead of changing 20 to 19 there. (more) |

@Lundin the "curate" discussion is ongoing, but meanwhile we don't want to block on getting some help for our single-person mod team here. Scope needs to be decided by the community; moderators don't decide that on their own, and maybe we need to have more "case studies" to discuss to refine the op... (more) |

My own experience in online communities is that the snarkier I'm feeling, the more careful I need to be to review what I'm writing to ask myself "how will this be received by someone who's not in my head?". Usually the same goal can be accomplished more effectively with other words; the snark can ma... (more) |

Regarding close reasons, moderators can customize those -- feel free to raise separately so the community can discuss what y'all want. (more) |

Thank you for starting this discussion. We really want each community to be free to develop its own norms (within the bounds of network policies of course). It's hard for moderators to do their jobs absent that community consensus, which necessarily isn't ready on day 1. (more) |

Reproduced in Chrome (well, I started to edit this post to see it, saw it, and cancelled). There are some differences in how rendering is done in preview vs normal view; I'm not sure what the issues are, but this is probably another of those. (more) |

Starting from the end means dates that are treated as strings sort correctly. Ever find yourself with a directory full of files named (or prefixed/suffixed) with things like "mar-5-2019" or "12-apr-2020"? Not the most convenient results when you sort by name. Whether this is the reason for the yyy... (more) |

I got hit with a captcha when composing (or maybe editing -- don't remember) an answer earlier today, too. I don't think it took me an especially long time; it's not like I walked away from the browser for an hour or something.

Making the height dependent on the text, rather than setting it independently, is also more versatile if somebody increases the text size. Some browsers allow you to set a minimum text size that might be larger than your assumed size, for example. (more) |

On further investigation, apparently they are checking in some large third-party libraries. Oof. But we managed to solve our problem another way (self-answer forthcoming). (more) |

I don't have a solution yet but I want to acknowledge the request. We are tracking this. It'd probably be some sort of user control to expand the space for the comment you're typing; we don't want to make the box universally bigger because of phones. (more) |

It's related to the [abilities update](https://meta.codidact.com/questions/279504); there's some DB reconciliation that still needs to happen. I remember seeing at least one answer there and I think two. It's not lost, just not properly restored yet. Sorry! (more) |

It's fine to report issues on community metas; we don't want to require people to go sign up for GitHub or Discord just to be able to communicate with us.

@Moshi UrlRewrite is an engine but *URL rewriting* is a more general practice. Should the engine have its own tag or is that too specific? I don't know. (I mean, would we have a ClassNotFoundException tag as opposed to "exceptions" and maybe "class-loader"?) (more) |

It sounds like there are two aspects there: URL rewriting, which is general, and IIS, which this question was specifically about and/or does something special with URL rewriting.

My intent with the question was to describe what I want and ask how to get it. I assumed there might be some tool that does that, but I tried to be specific enough that it would work.

@Lundin good question, which I hadn't considered. Questions about tools (like javadoc, git, etc) were on-topic on SO, so I made a logical leap here which might not be warranted. At the core I'm trying to *solve a technical problem* and don't know if a tool exists at all. That feels a little differ... (more) |
