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) |

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? (more) |

Yikes. Would it be worth sharing what you learned in an answer? Or is it really specific to that particular query? (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) |

Did you write something as a result of this post? With the new attention we're currently getting, I'd like to point people to it if so. (I can of course point people to this post, but if there's something better, let's use that.) (more) |

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. Either approach works; we just want to make sure things are findable. Specific questions might h... (more) |

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.

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... (more) |

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 ... (more) |

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 ... (more) |

A: Closed Question Too Generic, Reason Unhelpful This response is about closure in general, not any specific question. (A moderator has already addressed the specific case.)

Are questions about language design on-topic? I was chatting with somebody who's involved with a proposal on SE for a site about language design and who is interested in other options too. Some sample questions: - What are the tradeoffs between explicit line-end syntax (like semicolons) versus newlines? - How could a parser implement cus... (more) |

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... (more) |

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...

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 ... (more) |

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. Do you have thoughts on a better way to show one-character differences? How could we make... (more) |

A: "Review suggested edit" page doesn't display Markdown source correctly While reviewing older bug reports we discovered that the first problem is now working; the code fences show up in the diff. The second one still shows as one line without a clear diff, but I don't think we've seen a recent case so it's possible that's a one-off data error of some sort. I'm going to... (more) |

Right, articles are intended for jumping straight to "I have information to share", for cases where it doesn't work as well to use an answer (question doesn't exist, question would be too broad, whatever). (more) |

A: Asking and answering FAQ style questions As other answers have said, we have some of these, they're helpful, and they can be hard to write. On Codidact there's another option, should the community want to enable it: articles. An article is another type of top-level post. They're being used in a few different ways around the network: lo... (more) |
