They did change it. Emails out no longer contain the hawking footer.

Anything outside the box belongs on another site. They have a format that works for them and rules to follow. We're not being forced to use only Stack Exchange sites for our non-HN posts.

This discussion wasn't even on Stack Overflow.

On top of that it's been closed since 2011 and nobody saw it fit to be re-opened. Not to mention having 100+ answers. How that's constructive is a wild guess.

But at least it's made some smile or catch them offguard.

If it doesn't fit what the site is structured for, why should it stick around? Aren't there plenty of other sites that can host it? Or is Stack Overflow the only place to host code snips?

Do you have any example 400+ upvoted questions you can point to that aren't of the type "everybody bring out all the snippets you've been saving, this time we're putting on a show"?

Might be thinking of OpenLeaks which should be at openleaks.at

Their profile says yes.

MarkdownPad http://markdownpad.com/ is neat and does the preview thing, split screening your editing. (requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile, which it comes with and installs if you don't already have it. Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8.)

That's a Pro feature. You couldn't get stats on the free plan. And it seems, you can't get stats on their new replacement plans either. So far it looks like if you want stats, hope you're grandfathered in as a Pro user and keep on renewing.

It was up until last week, but http://www.tsa.gov/tsa-pre✓™ was the canonical version. Now it redirects to the version you don't need to know the ALT keyboard jockeying with.

It was originally posted six months ago. So if you wanted to see what the Streisand is all about, Google cache to the rescue:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:FYBbAFU...

Every little droplet of code helps. Or something like that.

What's so special? It just redirects to Bitbucket.

Those tags you have, (design, content, management, etc.) make them clickable and group all those jobs under it. It at least looked like it would be that way.

You'll have to create an audience draw for it as well. Say, promise them the site won't be overrun by endless discussions about which Aeron chair is the best to sit on a treadmill.

Then when you have the audience who were drawn in by the high signal focus on a topic of expertise, sucker punch them by closing down all such questions and cite some lame excuse of following the charter of purity. In the name of site quality they'll say.

They recently linked to it. But the article itself has been around for as long as they've had help articles on how to use Git and GitHub.

Yes?

Seems only Chrome exists as a browser. All others need not apply.

And these are all laid out in front in their footer, the FAQ and About page.

You know what you're getting into when you post on a Stack Exchange site. If you don't like it, then you're okay to not use it.

Not like when you post on Quora. Do they tell you that your answers will be blurred and hidden behind a login-wall?

But really, the best programming joke hidden in source code is nothing more than noise. There are other places for that. When you want to cram that into Stack Overflow, then you'll have problems with its moderation.

It's boilerplate art installation talk. The more profound sounding the higher the chances of getting someone to exhibit the work.

It at least definitely leads to polling. Everyone and their capuchin being able to just throw in theirs as a legit answer. When there is no chance for a canonical answer at all, that's a bad question.

Your username seems familiar. Are you also the same linker3000 who was outside of the shipping district for some of Jeff Atwood's personal free stuff he happened to use Super User to give away to? http://meta.superuser.com/questions/3720/three-free-video-ca... You left shortly after that. Were those the rules you're talking about?

You should Tumblr that.

Someone editing your post and moderation are two separate things.

What aspect of the moderation is gone wild? Noting a difference between those with diamonds (moderators) next to their names and those with a high board score (high rep users).

Sunsetting can also mean no longer having to support it via bugfixes and the such. Time costs plenty when you could spend it building and working on other things.

The HTML5Boilerplate.com project has a big fat button on their site that is a link to a download on their GitHub repo.
