But SO is not meant for discussions. It is to provide answers (preferably one) to a question.

Anyone can edit any answer (unless it is specifically locked which is uncommon) For new users the edit does have to get approved by 3 other users to give some check on vandalisim. Thus answers are wikis.

Why is everything is a file a file correct? It makes some things easier but it is not the only way - so this does need to be justified.

From the comments on this answer https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/391625/136010 it is suggested and agreed by staff that the chnage in May 2022 was the role out of a proper cookie consent form. If you don"t h

But better more consistent data - which is what I want from SO. However SO Inc wants money and so more users.

Yes - Putting UNIX on a pedestal means that it is basically correct and you just need additions rather than looking at it and saying that UNIX does this badly or even incorrectly and so make incompatabler chnages to improve things.

I agree but sometimes the answer exactly as asked leads to wrong things. So sometimes you don"t provide the answer to the exact question but include the reason why the exact question is not good. This gives the option for the questione

Then SO's reasonms for this policy need to be explained more. The aim of SO is to provide answers to a question. You do not want many questions with the same answer as if you have a new answer or a comment on this duplicate answer you

I don"t see those on google but then again I use a search blocker mainly for those sort of sites.

You don"t need any karma to answer any logged in thing can answer. I say thing as ChatGPT is being used to produce a load or crappy wrong answers now. Thus I don"t understand your issue. This is a XY-problem :) I know enough about

I now only use a smaller sites and you just mark these to be reopened. The issue is that all users are moderators and the newcomers are the ones not reading questions etc. I would flag this sort of thing for a real moderator.
702.
by pasc1878 3y ago
Yes especially if you know you have answered the same thing before. You look for your original. Remember all users are moderators. There are some explicit moderators but they don"t close or downvote often they deal with other problems

This is odd as my view is that documentation was much better pre 2000 and SO was needed because official documentation got so bad.

The answers will stay they are licensed through Creative Commons Attribution licences so anyone can copy them.

by pasc1878 3y ago
Read the T&C. The answers are all licenced under creative commons with attribution so anyone can copy them. They are not owned by SO. This is why sites can copy all of SO to get better Google SEO also this is why ChatGPT etc can build

The bash not sh issue is due to ignorance on the part of the answerers not an XY problem. Also shell can"t do everything - you are in a POSIX environment so use POSIX tools. The Unix environment is an environment of putting together ma

ChatGPT is not in anyway better than SO - no see the current moderation strike. Both sides can identify ChatGPT answers as being wrong. The question is how can they be deleted. The moderators say they can delete a lot by manual inspection.

by pasc1878 3y ago
Yes but the right way should be the answer unless it is explicitly stated why they can't use this. Most readers will be able to use the "right way".

No accepting an answer can ONLY be done by the person asking the question.

Browser in any period is not a good business. I don"t think any business has made money on building and supplying a browser. So they have to get the money back from somewhere. Google from getting you to use other google things and gett

I find lisp much nicer to read than most languages. C/Java etc (which I was a professional in) have too many bits to the syntax - braces and semi-colons and the execution is not necessarily shown by the format. I also like python for s

Ruby is also based on Smalltalk. The author is just showing ignorance of where things come from.

The big problem is that you have to store the information on 1Passwords site. I can't see how any business would allow secrets to be stored on hardware they don't control Earlier versions allowed the store to be on other sites lik

Noone as naturally picked up CLI. You tye characters into a terminal and you first get an error message, how do you know to fix that. How do you know what you can do? How do you know ls is what you get to get a file listing? What is a file?

The risk here is that someone against porn etc will 9and have) sued them for helping bad activities. TYhe cost is too high for the credit card companies. In this case the pressure on a government payment system would be even higher as no po

No that is what a static in a .c file is for. A plain global can be accessed from other compiled units - agreed with no .h entry it is my=uch more error prone e.g. you don't know the type but the variables name is exposed to other obje

You might want to look at the current issues in StackOverflow - both sides of the dispute say that ML is not good enough to detect bad things.

The issue for bash is also the issue for Makefiles. make is not part of the default macOS install - You need to install developer tools - which I suppose if you are a developer is OK. As for bash as it is an old verion on macOS you need to
