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) |

| Answer | — |
A: Why is this client code getting the wrong date for a few hours a day? There are two issues here. The first is that this code isn't rolling over at 8PM as expected: if (now.getHours() > 20) { now.setDate(now.getDate() + 1); } This change happens at 9PM as explained in this answer. The second increment is the one that's coming from this code, not... (more) |

| Question | — |
Why is this client code getting the wrong date for a few hours a day? Our web site has a widget that displays some date-based information that we retrieve from some JSON-formatted data (one object per date). We get the current date from the environment, possibly adjust it (see below), look up the right entry in the JSON, and display it. Most of the time this works ri... (more) |

@Lundin are questions about office suites so different from questions about other applications that tags aren't sufficient? (Question for Power Users meta, presumably.) (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) |

| Question | — |
We'd like to add another moderator -- who? Several months ago we asked for temporary moderators for this community and two people stepped up. One of them later had to step back, leaving Alexei as a sole moderator. Alexei is doing a great job, but we think things run smoothly when there are at least two moderators -- it gives mods someone to... (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) |

| Question | — |
How can I test my front end for accessibility to the blind? I'd like my web front end to be accessible, including to people who use screen readers. I know the basics about labels and alt text for images, but there are some areas where I'm not sure what a screen reader will do and I'd like to find out and catch it if we're doing it badly. I don't want to act... (more) |

A: Editing tags failed? This is weird: I tried to edit the tags on your post to see if I could reproduce it, and the editor showed the C++ tag there even though the post did not show it. I deleted and re-added it and saved the post and it shows up now. I don't know why that happened. I'll pass it along to the dev team. ... (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) |

How can I find git branches where all branch-local commits are from specific people? []()We have a bunch of dead branches in our git repository, and I'd like to clean them up. Ones that were merged (but not deleted at the time) are easy; we can see those in the branch list on Bitbucket. But a lot were abandoned and not deleted, some by people who no longer work here. I want to fin... (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) |

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) |
