Yet another popular, relevant and useful topic locked on StackOverflow.
What a surprise....not.
There seems to be a pedantic core of people on SO that go around locking topics, rather than contributing in their own area of expertise.
- pc86 13y agoThere's a decent chance that's because they have no area of expertise.
- gtz58 13y agoHaha, yeah it can be aggravating. In general though, I think it's good that there are people who care about the content so much.
- wslh 13y agoSadly neither StackOverflow nor Wikipedia have found the "PageRank of Edition".
- wging 13y agoAnd now (a) it's preserved because it has 'historical significance', yet (b) the bits are rotting as new books are released and old books' information becomes out of date
- regularfry 13y agoThe first link I clicked on in the list was dead. Admittedly I found the pdf with a trivial bit of googling, but still annoying.
- NoodleIncident 13y agoVim Recipes is a dead link. There's still a pdf and a github out there, though.
- mwfunk 13y agoSO is neither a wiki nor a forum. If the maintainers have a different vision for it, they're hardly being pedantic by not letting it turn into one of those things. The Internet isn't suffering from a shortage of wikis or forums, so maybe someone should put this page's contents in one of them?
