I have a number of articles I would like to post related to home automation related software development, but there's just no good place to put them. IoTs isn't home automation, and the sub-categories in there are mostly hardware tinkerer stuff. Home Automation is a much bigger topic that would basically include IoTs. You can call it Smart Home if you want to be more hipper-like.
Maybe sub-sections for hardware and software.

If it helps, I do "regular" post which showcases Home Automation and IoT devices: The Lounge[^]

Doesn't it make sense to have such a section, though? It's an ever-growing area. Or, put a Smart Home sub-section under IoT worst case I guess.

I wanted to open a section on Automation (Programming for PLC, Robots and so on) and I was told, opening a new section is easy. It only has to get some initial staff.
If you write some articles on it I suppose CP will generate the section and maybe check if other articles fit better there.
In my case, I never started writing all what I wanted to... and when I get the time to write it, it will probably be not so relevant anymore

The upvote footnote count for a post that has a single upvote reads "1 upvotes". It should either read "1 upvote(s)" or beter yet, "1 upvote".
Thanks,

This was one of those bugs.
var upvotes = data[i].upvotes;
rating = (upvotes == 1)? '1 upvote' : upvotes.toString() + ' upvotes';
was changed to
var upvotes = data[i].upvotes;
rating = (upvotes == 1)? '1 upvote' : upvotes.toString() + ' upvotes';
and it stopped working. Turns out data[i].votes was a string, not an int, so while "==" works by implicitly matching 1 to "1", "===" does not.
A bit of parseInt action and we're back in business.
cheers

I haven't seen this asked, so...
Is it possible to add a filter to whatever it is that chooses the articles which appear on the home page which strips out Part X, Part Y, Part Z, etc and just leave one of them? Forex: if John Smith writes a 12-part article on Something Very Interesting, and uploads them all at once, we are presented with a page just chock full of Mr Smith's article(s)...and nothing else. Yes, they may be the "latest" submissions, but I think we are all smart enough to follow links within one article to get to the rest of the chapters.
You can't filter on the author's name, of course, since someone might write a handful of articles on different subjects, but maybe something to check the titles to see if they only differ by chapter/part number or something.
Just a thought.

Hi everyone.
I'm afraid I'll be mocked in buzzword bingo but still, I'll raise a question that has popped up inside my head when I've visited discussion boards recently.
There's still a Delphi forum here and looks like nobody cares about it anymore (it celebrated a year with no activity 2 days before).
Still, lots of stuff is going on right now: functional programming (also with the rise of functional-first languages like Scala, F#, Elixir), AI, Golang, Rust, embedded development etc
I don't mean to offend anyone but when I look at the current set of forums it seems to me that Codeproject fails to keep up with the current state of affairs (which is not true if you lurk at the recent articles).
Anyways any opinions would be welcome

To be honest we've focused more on Quick Answers than the discussion forums but you're right: if we're going to provided forums we should at least ensure they are up to date.
From your point of view what would you like to see?
I'm thinking we need to cover:
The core:
C++
.NET (C#, VB, etc)
Web languages / markup such as Javascript, Typescript, CSS, LESS, CASS, ECMAScript
Web Frameworks and libraries (Angular, React, Vue, jQuery, Bootstrap, Semantic, knockout etc)
Functional languages
Database / storage tech (SQL, NoSQL, Redis, Elastic)
Mobile
Hardware / Networking / Microcontrollers / chipsets
Algorithms, Patterns, Optimisation
Game Dev
Broader
AI / Machine Learning / Data Science + language such as R, Python
IoT and automation
DevOps, SysOps, SecOps, NoOps, whateverOps
Monitoring and performance
Hosting and Containers (Docker, Kubernetes etc)
Other
Third party components
Audio / Visual
Anything else?
cheers

Hi Chris, thank you for your response.
The list looks quite exhaustive to me, maybe the only thing that one could add is "languages for web backend i.e. Ruby, Python, PHP" (I'm not sure about the proper name but I hope you get my point)
I'm not a big fan of those, but I suppose they are still relevant. At least I've noticed a Python question in Javascript forums recently

I don't know how long it will remain, reported as "offtopic". Anyways...
On a Rainy Night in Portland[^] contains:
Quote: Editorial Note
This article is an entry in our Microsoft Azure IoT Contest. Articles in this section are not required to be full articles so care should be taken when voting.
1) In my opinion, this blog is not worth to be in the contest. And not sure how it got selected being a fed blog without proper tags.
2) Additionally... (and the main reason of this post) If the contest is finished as said in (Microsoft Azure IoT Contest[^]), how can be still getting "participants"?
As a side note, there are still a lot of wrong "editorial note" tagged articles in the list posted here[^]

When I get this 99% of the time I've just Ctrl-V'd and thus have my hands on the keyboard not the mouse; being able to arrow up/down to select quote or as-is, would be much faster than taking my hand off to grab the mouse.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I've a couple of different ideas of what you may have in mind but aren't sure.
I'm guessing you mean expose the code in the search engine, indexed by namespace, class and method, (etc) names?

It seems that mirroring the code (with correct reference) to a github account will do the trick. It seems hotexamples.com search github...

This is a family friendly site, John, you should know that.
OOOhhhhhhh - you mean like real-time programmer discussions. Silly me. ahem.
Yes, a few times.
Given it's 20 years after we partied like it was 1999 what are your thoughts on live chats these days?
cheers

I'm in favour. I've found talking to the dead deeply unsatisfying. They never hold up their end of the conversation.

In this case the preview image has too big height. As you can see it's generates an incorrect displaying.
I have found this issue here.
Perhaps You should set fixed height and width for preview images. Or set the max height and width.
