My contribution was to say "sounds neat" when luap42 shared the code for review. :-) (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.

A: Enable text-area for comments to be resized The comment box is now resizable; drag the control in the lower right corner down to make the area bigger. -- Update: With the later introduction of threaded comments, the comment box lost its resizing but is larger than it was. It was status-completed at the time and then overcome by other ch... (more) |

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) |

Posting here is enough to get it into our bug list to look at. If you think a broader audience could help (investigation or workarounds), feel free to post there. (more) |

A: How should we share some content between two otherwise-independent git repositories? I was discussing this problem again with some coworkers, and one of them said "QA has that problem too -- here's what we're doing about it". At its core, having everybody add lots of tests to the test suite in the server repository isn't manageable. In addition to the volume -- and number of file... (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) |

A: Cannot close a question as a duplicate due to "Invalid input for other post" error Codidact doesn't support cross-community duplicates, like closing a question in a per-community meta category as a duplicate of a question on main Meta. However, our messaging there could be, uh, better. We now have a GitHub issue tracking this; thanks for the report. (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) |

Fixed back in mid-November, but I missed it in GitHub and thus didn't status-tag it then. Sorry for the reporting delay. (more) |

[Code Golf here on Codidact](https://codegolf.codidact.com/categories/50) has a sandbox. They have it set up so that you post articles (not questions) in the sandbox, get feedback in comments, edit, get more comments, etc, and when you're done you can cut/paste your challenge in the main "challenges...

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) |

Is the failure happening at the P4 checkout time, or in a cleanup phase at the end? And do you rerun the job in the same directory each time, or do you use a new scratch directory each time? (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. Granted, on Software Dev the odds are decent that people are already on GH. If Alexei doesn't file a GH issue then one of us will do it in one o... (more) |

A: Growing software.codidact Speaking personally (not as a Codidact admin): One low-key way to promote this community there is to cite it in answers. If you see a question there that you want to answer, see if it's here too. Maybe there's already an answer here, or maybe you want to write an answer. You can then write an a... (more) |

@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. Should there be two tags, url-rewriting and iis, both applied to this question but might be used separately in other cont... (more) |

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. I agree that a question like "what source-control system should I use?" with no specific requirements wouldn't fit.... (more) |

@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) |
