| Jun 29, 2015 at 13:31 | comment | added | Name | I think it is perhaps the role of moderators and the users to close or vote to close the inconvenient big-list questions and to keep the good big-list question on. | |
| Jun 18, 2015 at 13:42 | comment | added | Joe Corneli | My point is, they seem to have a valued place in that community. It is useful to think about the collection as a whole as a sort of crowdsourced FAQ. Here are a couple that seem similar to the sorts of question we might ask here: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/553/… tex.stackexchange.com/questions/11/… And here's one that could (in theory) belong on this site directly. tex.stackexchange.com/questions/52179/… | |
| Jun 18, 2015 at 13:30 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @JoeCorneli Which examples are you talking about? I'm not going to review all 85 individually. | |
| Jun 18, 2015 at 13:27 | comment | added | Joe Corneli | But you're still not addressing the actual set of examples that I'm talking about, which is the TeX.SE questions. | |
| Jun 18, 2015 at 12:55 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @JoeCorneli There is a thread, now deleted, on Stack Overflow, asking for the “single most influential book every programmer should read”. It had >700k views and >1.4k upvotes. Answers (running 22 pages) posted multiple times include not only K&R and The Pragmatic Programmer but also Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and the Tao Te Ching. So no, views and votes can definitely be wrong. | |
| Jun 18, 2015 at 10:25 | comment | added | Joe Corneli | Your answer here does not deal with the example of TeX.SE. In the comment above, you say the way TeX is doing it lacks actual benefits other than “we've been doing it that way and it isn't fundamentally broken”. Can you substantiate that opinion? It seems to me that the 100K views and numerous upvotes on the TeX examples can't be entirely wrong. | |
