@manasseh apparently your shul has adopted a sefardi custom. it's not the biggest deal either way, of course, since you certainly still fulfill your obligation. (if i had to guess it's due to an influence of chassidim/"sfard" type nusach. artscroll also only prints the sefardi aliya breaks for haazin... (more) |

@rosends that's the "sefardi" understanding. the "ashkenazi" understanding is one is for reading on shvauot and one is for reading the weekly parsha. (I use quotes because that a major simplification of who historically exactly thought what, and probably neither is an original reason) (more) |

@manassehkatz someone can certainly read eikha via zoom, but no one but the reader can fulfill their obligation that way (at least, on the mainstream position; as is now pretty well known R' Moshe Feinstein thought one could be lenient in dire circumstances which this isn't since people can read alon...

Not the answer for why the Spies was worse, but looking at the main punishment of wandering for 40 years to die in a desert is also clearly worse. The different reactions to the crying are also parallel. (more) |

This is such a common phrase to almost be cliche. By that I mean it wouldn't surprise me to find a dozen others learning programs at shuls or online with this title. Mi Yodeya was obscure enough that it was unique. I think we want something more memorable to be an effective brand. (more) |

I think the easiest way to do this is a dedicated meta question, where suggested imports are placed as comments on the post. Then any developer can stop by and just delete any given comment as it's processed. No excessive bumping of the post. (more) |

| Answer | — |
A: Asking questions that have answers on MY? If the same question is already on Mi Yodeya and it hasn't for whatever reason been imported yet, you should request it be imported. This may take a day or two to process for now but it helps keep everything clean and organized. New eyes here can then build on the previous work of others instead of s... (more) |

A: Should imported posts retain their original votes? What distinguishes us from a blog is mostly the scores on the posts. That's one of our main advantages for people seeking quality content: they have a rough measure of the average interested internet user's opinion of the post. We are going to import content. To throw away useful information about... (more) |

I don't know much about DIY/Home Improvement and Retrocomputing at SE, but can you explain what they did that made you feel more welcome there? Could it be that you are simply more of an expert at those subjects? (I don't know you at all to know what you're an expert at.) (more) |

| Comment | Post #276741 |
I'm open to hearing these suggestions, but nothing is going to be different magically because we want it to. If you reward better quality posts, then the people who are better at writing them will get rewarded more. That's how the gamification works. If you want something different you have to change...

Do you imagine here people with enough points would gain an ability to not source since they are indeed considered trustworthy? Or perhaps sourcing should be discouraged as it clogs a post? Or is there going to be a new area of scope that will be on topic that this category of people will be better s... (more) |

I'm going to poke at this to try and get you to refine your idea. This 'middle level' class of users that you feel weren't able to participate at Mi Yodeya but will be able to here, how do you see them participating? Is it questions or answers? If the issue for them on Mi Yodeya was, as you indicate,... (more) |

Are there different initial conditions then? Same rules, same initial conditions, same outcome (I'd expect). I'm willing to see something different on this site; I just haven't seen anyone actually doing anything towards that end. (more) |

Technical question: can imported votes be removed in the future? That is, does the system somewhere remember how many of the votes came from local vs import, or does it just remember the total? I'm guessing it does remember, and turning on and off imported votes takes 5 minutes of coding. (more) |

It would be nice if someone would actually post a vision for how to distinguish this site from MY and a set of rules which serve to accomplish that goal.

Surely the Samoa post on MY had an anomalously high number of votes, but the anomaly didn't cause any harm on MY and I see no reason to think it would here. What's the harm in bringing some votes? (more) |

Having signal is good for many reasons; throwing away signal is bad. That's the affirmative case. What's the negative case?

Not reading aloud in advance seems ridiculous. What if the last sugya is very detailed and you spend two weeks on it? You can't say it out loud lest you lose your chance at a siyum? Clearly not.

Same reason it might not apply to velcro. Or magnets. Or snap buttons. Or glue. Just not the same thing and not similar to tefillin. Why would a tefillin rule apply to magnets? And seriously how do you lock strings? (more) |

I think Mi Yodeya/Judaism is different from the sites you mentioned, where people are more asking about new problems they face as they come up with them. Judaism is, well, old, and the range of "basic" questions about halakha or tanach is significant and mostly already tackled at Mi Yodeya. Redoing a... (more) |
