Fastly had some issues earlier, so some of our script and css files were not being served, and the result is what you were seeing.
They seem to have resolve the problem and the site looks good(ish) again.
Also, I am getting notifications from the Cloudflare sales gremlins about switching to a 'better' service, despite being told several times their quotes were 2-3 orders of magnitude to large.

There are several boards out there that are popular that aren't arduino based.
The ESP32 is a popular board, and has the ESP-IDF framework that goes with it.
The STM32 is another popular series of boards, and they have several frameworks associated with them, none of which are Arduino compatible.
I've been marking my ESP32 projects as Arduino and IoT to get them to show up in the right place on the site, but it feels like a bit of a bait and switch when I do it because my project has nothing to do with Arduinos.
It would be really nice if we had categories for at least the ESP32 SoC and ESP-IDF framework that goes with it. I'm not the only one writing articles here for it.

@OriginalGriff sponsored a category too...
it was his "Crappy IoT of the Week"

I had to stop doing that one. It wasn't a lack of damn stupid ideas, it was just too depressing realizing how many of them there were ...

The best way to do this is post articles that have the tag (you have enough rep to add tags to articles and have them be auto-created). Send us a note and we will mark them as part of the IoT hierarchy

I didn't realize I could just add arbitrary tags. Cool. Thanks!

Big thanks to all editors who constantly fix grammar, spelling, and other mistakes for the articles we publish.

how do you turn off mark-down to describe an error in rendering ?
"
" will result in [_b__] ... not
// in Form1
add a space before the open angle-b-close-angle and it renders bold properly, and does not show a spurious "C#"

Easiest way is just to type in exactly what was entered but not within a PRE block (special processing happens inside those bad boys)
I'm trying to replicate what you're describing but failing so far.

Hi Chris,
The anomaly happens when there is no space between the closed angle bracket of the pre and the open angle bracket of a style block, like bold.
some code add a space after the closed angle bracket of the pre:
some code
well, now it's happening with a space added

Hi everyone.
One of my projects was getting a lot of views and downloads. So I tried to renew another project the same way and the idea was good because now the renewed project is going even better than the other one.
What went wrong is that now, the first project (the project I used as the master for the renewed project) is not receiving visits or downloads.
Is it a policy of this site to only take one project at a time on top? Or did I miss some configuration?
Cheers
Vincenzo

No policy I am aware of - but have you considered that everyone who is interested in the first project has now read it?
The home page is limited in how many articles it can show: and that is spread across all contributions to the site by any of the 15,000,000 members. New articles spend time on the "front page" as is was, but are replaced fairly rapidly by newer ones as part of a "natural cycle".
That's probably why you got an increase in views, then a decline as it became "less visible".
It'll still be easily found by anyone searching for it or for the tags you set.

Additionally to OG's answer with the explanation...
if you start re-editing a lot your projects / articles to be in the first page and gain visibility on purpose... be aware that that might be considered abuse and bring an account ban or a project deletion.

OK. I got the message.
I'm normally used to continually reviewing my work (re-editing). Now, how can I understand that I'm 're-editing' a little too much? (from the point of view of CodeProject.)
|
|
|
|

If it is a legitime edit... there is no problem. We can follow the changes.
I remember a guy did that one edit a week, just to change a letter, add a coma or similar really small things... that's more in the way I meant.
If you really want to improve your content and the changes are needed... that's not that bad.
On the other hand... if your project is not that mature yet that need continous editing... would it not be better to finish it and then publish when you say "now is good"?

Some authors are like this, which is fine. Just make sure you're making significant changes to the article each time. If you can't state in a sentence what changes you've made to the article, then you haven't changed enough and it might be best to combine updates.
Thanks,

First, awesome that your project is getting attention! Nice one.
Second, no, no policy. It's just the ebb and flow of content.

Hi Chris
I know you are one of the big bosses
(I like the fact a big boss spends his time talking with users)
I wish to write an article about functional programming. It will be a controversial article (I love functional programming but I think there are excesses)
Years ago, I did such a thing about using "GoTo": a religious war started right away and I lost a lot of points.
Is there, here on CodeProject, a way to constructively criticize a common opinion without being burned in the public square?
Thanks for your time
Vincenzo S.

Vincenzo,
I would love to see an article like this. I spend a lot of my time questioning the team on why we do certain things and when the answer is "we've always done it this way" I start scratching a little to find the real reason. Good habits are good but it's important to question assumptions.
We could do a couple of things
- Disable voting. I'm not a fan of this but it's an option
- Disable the forum attached to the article, or a softer version is make it so only high rep members can post. Not great, but not terrible
- We help you edit the article, ensuring the introduction makes it clear that the topic is an opinion piece, it's exploratory, and it's intended to generate sensible, constructive debate. We could even ask a couple of the high rep members to keep tabs on it to ensure the tone stays civil.
My preference is #3.
With languages changing so quickly, and our need to switch to potentially unconformable languages becoming more of a thing, it's important we accept different philosophies and styles because sometimes we don't get to code in the manner we'd like to. Sometimes we have to compromise or bend over backwards a little.
cheers
Chris Maunder

Hi Chris
What do you think about a mix between #3 + #1?
Number 3 should be the right way to go, but I'm sorry to say that not all people know what respect is.
The article will cover functional programming in javascript.
During a "stage de professionalization" for a company in Luxembourg, I discovered that the main application was written forcing javascript to behave as if it were a functional programming language like HASKELL.
Javascript is a multi-paradigm language. In my opinion, forcing it to behave like something it is not, is an aberration.
Who wrote that code is a highly skilled developer that wrote very interesting stuff. I think it would be interesting to involve him in the discussion. (as long as he wants to participate)
Cheers

I'm sure we can work out a way to disable voting if that's what's needed.

Hi Chris
The matter is not about enabling/disabling votes.
A vote is always important because there is always a reason behind any vote. What matters is to understand what the reason is.
There is something in my article that triggers 'downvotes', but how votes are managed by CodeProject doesn't allow me to understand such reasons, and, even worse, downvotes cost me 'reputation points'.
I think, how the 'voting system' is configurated, pushes writers, to write only 'demagogical' articles, and let me say this, in my opinion, is highly detrimental for everybody, CodeProject included.
Since you are one of the big bosses, let me take please the opportunity to express my opinion also about how 'reputation points' are managed. People write free articles in exchange for 'reputation points'. 'Reputation points are like a currency and thus CodeProject' in somehow is like a Bank (when it manages 'reputation points')
I had many 'issues' with my 'reputation points' and that (at the end) was the other reason I left 'CodeProject'.
Regards
Vincenzo Stramaglia

If you write articles purely to get reputation points then this isn't the site for you.
We, collectively, write articles to share what we know, freely. To help each other. To say thanks to all the other developers who in turn have shared their code and knowledge.
We used to force comments on downvoting specifically to address the issue you raised. Read about why we ditched that.
cheers
Chris Maunder
