Ah, an early-season variety, nice.

Josh Darnell replying to i-one

Awesome :D I am looking forward to it!

i-one replying to Josh Darnell

Hi, Josh! Yes, autumn is coming, the harvest time :). Some posts are planned. I hope to finish one early September.

Josh Darnell

I hope all of this styling commentary means that we'll see a new blog post from @i-one soon ;)

i-one

Not sure it can be addressed easily...

^^^  
But here it is not, and so it would be nice to shrink space between paragraph and list only, but not between list and next paragraph.

^^^  
Here list breaks paragraph, and so it would be nice if both spaces were shrunk.

For example...

i-one

Oh, it seems more complicated than I thought, because of list can break paragraph.

i-one

Let me suggest to reduce space between paragraph and beginning of the list (by half, I think). Compare it to space we have between paragraph and image.

Used Paul's link

Yeah that is strange. Working again for me also.

Jack Douglas replying to Paul White

Thanks, I had the same issue but it went away half way through debugging. I've left some debug code in place to try and catch it again.

@Jack Same just happened to me. See message above (link was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canterbury_of_New_Zealand)

Jack Douglas replying to samcarter

if only :)

samcarter

You seem to have the same magic powers as one of the admins at my work: all problems seem to vanish magically when he is close by - the running joke is to wait until he walks by in the hallway if one needs to compile anything complicate :)

samcarter replying to Jack Douglas

Thanks for testing, it now works fine for me as well. Maybe it just needs your presence in the chat room :)

Jack Douglas replying to samcarter

it seems to work for me, are you just pasting the raw link on its own?

It is the equivalent of prosody stress in speech."

FoggyFinder

I thought to add `completed` tag to a Q but with no success

samcarter

Does anybody know why the oneboxing of this wikipedia link `https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emphasis_%28typography%29` fails? It just results in an empty chat messages which contains `&nbsp;`

Monica

Yup.

samcarter

This brand new "Articles" thingy on SO sounds very much like our beloved "Blog Post" ....

Jack Douglas

That is the underlining problem though :)

Andriy M replying to samcarter

They'll be lucky, because they won't be confused

samcarter

Is https://topanswers.xyz/meta?q=1829 what happens if the developers live next door to Greenwich? :)

samcarter replying to kus

:) although I had to improvise a bit because I did not know the name of the font from the codidact logo, so the `u` and the `k` are a bit too thin...

Monica replying to kus

I think that was the idea. :-)

kus replying to samcarter

codiduck reminds me of codidact

Pax replying to FoggyFinder

Absolutely. I think that's where patience and empathy come in for answerers --- to have the patience to guide the questioner to a better question.

FoggyFinder

nice article. Sometimes it's hard to ask Q properly when you have no idea where to start though

Pax

This is a good page about asking good questions https://www.mikeash.com/getting_answers.html

(just some silly doddle, I hope it makes you smile)

Monica replying to samcarter

That too. Neither able nor willing to report accurately, then.

samcarter replying to Monica

Given their statistical expertise shown with the 0.015%, I wouldn't be so sure they are even able to report the data correctly :)

Monica replying to samcarter

Presumably they *allow* anything, but would filter out anything they don't like into "other", even if any particular item had more responses than some things they didn't treat that way.  I no longer assume they'll report data honestly.

samcarter

It is surprising they still allow freeform answers in their survey for questions like   
> Please name up to 5 other online developer communities you belong to

:)

There's now an answer about this part of their new policy: https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/364763
