I would personally like if we could keep this site (or another in the network) tolerant to subjective but on-topic questions about things like program design, coding style and best practices. These are things that every programmer face, so there should be a place to ask for advice about them, instead... (more) |

Site scope - draft proposal EDIT: This discussion thread is mostly obsolete now that a new draft has been posted on the site. Please take further discussion & proposals to this meta post instead: Community feedback: What type of questions can I ask here?. So it would seem that the scope of this site is yet to be defined....

A: Is it undefined behaviour to just make a pointer point outside boundaries of an array without dereferencing it? Yes, the second line invokes undefined behavior. First of all, according to C17 6.5.2.1 regarding array subscripting, an expression `E1[E2]` is just "syntactic sugar" for `((E1)+(E2)))`. So what applies here is actually the binary + operator. More info regarding why `[]` is actually never used wit... (more) |

Yeah I read it, it's apparently everything vaguely programming related... I very much doubt there will much in the way of quality posts with such a huge scope. And no attention is given to the usual hot potatoes: homework questions, career advise, tool recommendations etc. Are these on-topic or not? ... (more) |

I think it would probably be best that once there's enough participation below a certain tag, try to get a group of veteran users together and decide what would be worth importing? (more) |

If we make a "super site" because we fear low contribution on specialized sites, it might very well have the opposite effect: scaring away technical specialists, whom are absolutely necessary for a programming site to flourish. (more) |

But shouldn't at least some things get narrowed down _before_ launching the site? As it sits now, the scope seems incredibly broad and nobody has a clue what's on-topic - everything vaguely programming-related? I'm not sure what this site is for or how to use it. Nor am I particularly interested in c... (more) |

The issue here is that some purists only consider compiled/interpreted languages to be "programming languages" - they are used to write programs. Whereas SQL for example is only used for the purpose fetch data from a database, HTML is only for describing the layout of a website and so on. A "script" ... (more) |
