Answer A: How should we handle incorrect answers?
Do nothing It's wrong but well intentioned. The best we can do is leave a comment saying why its wrong.

Answer A: How should we handle incorrect answers?
Lock it Locking a post disallows edits, comments and votes. I am not sure if it allows the original poster to edit or not, but this would be one way to preserve the answer while preventing interaction with it, possibly allowing it to be fixed in the future.

Question How should we handle incorrect answers?
Recently a flag came to my attention on this post: https://codegolf.codidact.com/posts/280372/281943#answer-281943 It is a well-intentioned answer to the challenge, but unfortunately it is wrong, and despite being notified, the user who posted the answer has not fixed it. What should we do in ...

Answer A: Under which condition is a function that takes arguments other than those specified by the challenge by itself a valid solution to a challenge?
What you said > a function is a valid solution to a challenge if and only if it can be called with no more than the specified input of the task This sounds reasonable to me. If you want to make your function take in specific parameters, code in defaults, or write a program instead.

Answer A: New solution to same challenge in same language: Change existing answer or add new one?
Make a new post If they are completely different solutions, I would say they should be judged separately.

Comment Post #284705 Agree for the most part - Works for me is gone, outdated has been changed to invalid, but maybe dangerous could stay - it doesn't necessarily mean bad coding practices, but maybe instead actual malicious code, for example a reverse shell... sometimes the code is so obfuscated it might be hard to tell...

Answer A: Tips for golfing in Java
Use higher versions of Java Seriously, it's crazy what sort of features have been added since Java 8. I hardly recognize the language anymore... Examples: Constructing Lists Before, you had to do something like `Arrays.asList(new String[]{"a", "b", "c"})`, but in Java 9+ you have `List.of...

Comment Post #284493 Yeah, I wasn't so sure about Interesting/Cool/Wow either. But I do feel like "works for me" falls under the same category as "what votes are for", I don't really see a difference

Answer A: Reactions on Code Golf Codidact
Interesting! / Cool! / Wow! Any of these names would work, I think. This would be the dark green reaction in place of "works for me". Intended to be used for answers that are extra unique/impressive in some way, even if they aren't the golfiest, or just for answers that you think deserve more than...

Question Reactions on Code Golf Codidact
Reactions were just released! See the main meta post here for the details. Currently, the default reactions look like this: Reactions panel Now, I would argue that none of these fit for Code Golf - so what reactions do you think the community should have?

Comment Post #283995 Seems too loosely defined. Is recursion a loop? Is mapping a loop? are builtins that give you a range a loop? This feels either too easy or too hard, and if you restrict everything I’m not sure anyone can do better than literally printing out the whole string

Answer A: Default Rules: Code Golf I/O
You may modify the input in-place If a function takes an input `a`, it is acceptable that `a` contains the intended output after executing instead of other forms of output. Note that this means `a` must be mutable to begin with and the function must actually mutate `a`. Example
