Comment Post #290727 There's some background on bringing content from SE in [an answer on Codidact Meta](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/277998/288937#answer-288937)

Comment Post #289675 > It is rude to alter one's post It is rude to alter the author's intent. The problem is that sometimes the editor does not realise that a small change is in opposition to the author's intent. It is not rude to make small fixes - that is how the site is intended to work. When people edit with good...

Comment Post #289675 > One could argue that change in readability is negligible. If you arrived at this negligibility argument, then your discussion could arrive at less speculative conclusions. For me personally, it is perfectly readable once you have explained that it means the same thing, but without that explanati...

Comment Post #289675 > First, let me formulate what I implied from your answer: the both notations are mathematically correct. I did not say that both notations are mathematically correct.

Answer A: I would like to receive explanations to the edit to my post.
Assuming good intent On Codidact it is standard practice for people to edit each other's posts, and it is intended to be positive and collaborative. The guidance for reviewing edits is as follows: > This edit was suggested by another user. Good edits: > - Improve clarity or fix errors like broke...

Comment Post #287462 Looks like Peter Taylor has now edited that answer to add double back slashes before every dollar sign, which seems to have the intended effect. Looks like there are still issues with this. The edit history of that answer shows 2 new backslashes per dollar sign, but only 1 of them is marked as an ...

Comment Post #288820 Some (most?) implementations of minesweeper do not allow a mine to be hit on the first square that is uncovered. Internally, this may involve recalculating the mine positions if the first square uncovered happens to be a mine, so the player never knows. Can we assume that this applies, so the play...

Answer A: Closed-form expression for sum of Modulo Arithmetic Progression
Assumed question Placement of parentheses Your final paragraph suggests that you would already know how to evaluate the following expression: $$ \Bigl( \sum{i=1}^{N} (a \cdot i) \Bigr) \bmod{M} $$ I will therefore assume that your question concerns the following expression: $$ \sum{i=1}^{N...

Comment Post #288168 It would be useful to have this answered by adding parentheses to the formula so it is immediately clear.

Comment Post #288022 I agree this question should be closed. Analysing a long article seems a better fit for a blog than an answer on this site. As Peter Taylor pointed out, it is possible to profit from some lotteries. However, lotteries close loopholes over time, particularly loopholes that have been made public. It...

Comment Post #287761 I agree a fractional score would be horribly confusing (especially as not all Codidact communities are maths based). An integer percentage might work better but could give the impression of far more voters than there really were. I partly like the idea of the net votes in a big font and the up and...

Comment Post #287761 I share this impression - I raise a lot of issues (some important, some trivial) and see frequent fixes and feature implementations, which encourages me to continue raising whatever I notice. It's really useful to have your first impressions. I hope you'll continue to raise things.

Comment Post #287664 Thank you - makes sense now. I was misinterpreting the quoted equation as part of the question, rather than a suggested answer.

Comment Post #287667 In your experiments, did you try adding more text to the paragraph, perhaps a word or two to push the $x\mapsto f(x,0)$ further to the right? It might be useful to see whether this results in it moving down to the next line, or just moving further right, out of view.

Answer A: Extra "bar" in the post
Probably a scroll bar This appears to be a horizontal scroll bar. You can confirm this by attempting to drag it left and right with the mouse (or finger on touch screen). The paragraph above it should move correspondingly. Affected operating systems and browsers I do not see the bar when viewing...
