There are article section for Arduino, RasPi and other IoT...
why don't open a forum for that?
According to the lounge the last days, it looks like there would be regulars and competent people interested on it.

You mean a forum in General Programming section?
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah...
Or maybe a new section similar to the articles... an IoT Section and then subforums for Arduino, RasPi... although I think it is easier to start small and see what happens.

agreed. I am actually surprised there is no IoT forum.

Seems that is driven through the tag of AI in the articles. If someone misses tagging AI and just does machinelearning, those posts don't feature in the section.
Believe it should be extended to cover both the tags and thus feature all related to that section. What say?

|
Completely agree. Let me make that change.

I have no idea if reactions are going to give / take rep points (but I know some people will scream if they don't and you remove the "upvote" button) and I can see the "drive by downvoters" hitting the "thumbs down" and "incorrect" buttons, just like they did with the older downvote button.
So ... how about a "voter bank". Each person gets 100 points. If you upvote someone, it costs you a point, and gives them voter points. If you downvote someone, it costs you 5 points, and maybe loses them a point. If you just do drive bys, you will run out pretty quickly ... An incentive to "play nice" perhaps, or to consider if you are being vindictive or realistic?
Just a thought.

If it's not replenished somewhat frequently it will create a black-market in reaction points. Murphy's laws demand that as a result.
Hence my recommendation that we have/maintain a pointless comment system. Until we can determine a cash value for reputation points (you wish !), this serves a similar but more descriptive purpose.
Whether or not they're interchangeable to the degree that one could replace the other - I'm not so sure. Keeping it as a pointless (pun intended!) system is an approach I lean towards, at present.

There are now enough sites with rep points that you'd think some best practices would have evolved and been written up.

This certainly puts a barrier in place to those who treat the system sensible, but for those who want to make a point they just create sock puppets. It limits, but doesn't remove the problem

Idea - down-voting also removes the same points from your own total. If you get below a certain threshold of rep points, a negative action (down-voting) doesn't have any affect on what you're voting for, and the action it's essentially invisible to everybody, and ultimately pointless.
And before you pepper me with "what-ifs", I'm just the idea guy. I leave it up to the CP gods to finger out the particulars of the implementation.

Unfortunately this assumes that downvoting is always bad.

Since you can see who reacted, the origin of those drivebys will be a bit more obvious now.

OK - but you need to address the error: Fourgo.

I think this is a problem not manifested earlier.
The menu item "Latest articles" loads the page Latest Updates. On this page, there is a filter "Minimum score" which cannot be less than 1.0. Therefore, freshly published articles cannot be seen, and the event when a new article becomes published remain virtually unnoticed.
Thank you.

Articles with no votes are included regardless of the filter

Chris,
This is what I thought, but on my recent submissions I cannot see it. That's why I wrote about it.
Okay, let's check up:
Below, there are two of my most recent submissions, one is fresh, another one is update of the previous article. You can check up timing. The update is included, the fresh one is not:
Web Presentation, the Other Way Around (21 December 2020)Web Presentation, an Application in a Single FileCan you see the problem now?
Thank you.

Not sure if this is related or different - I cannot find a trace of my recent publish anywhere other than in my own details.
Quick Look into Machine Learning Workflow
I even marked it updated but it never features on home page like other posts. Ideally it should be in AI category but it's not.

There was a bug, so thanks for reporting. It was an interesting one: There are two paths to getting this data: one via our Lucene text indexing server, the other straight from the database. The database had the correct results, the Lucene did not, so the problem wasn't showing for me while debugging (stepping through was throwing a timeout pushing the execution path over to the database)
There issue is still lingering, but a workaround for now is to select a rating of 1.0 and you'll get all articles no matter what.
cheers

...because 1.0 is not applicable to the articles without votes. The rating for such an article should be NaN, null, undefined, something like that. Anyway, it is not selectable.
I'll appreciate it if you update me if something changes.
Thank you.

Yeah - I noticed that too after my note - I should have updated my note.
We're working on it!

when there was a "reverse" color (one that was always the opposite of the background color) one never even had to give using it to draw/brush in a layer his content a second thought.
