Lately i have seen many answers to "trivial" questions being just a block of code, which is, I must admit, most of the times very self-explanatory and obvious, but only to people with a bit  more knowledge than the newly created 10 rep whatever-beginner.  please compare  and revision two. it is not much of a problem to write three lines of explanation, instead of providing a solution, and having OP return for a simple variation of the problem.  Thus I would like to discuss the introduction of a feature:  Dialog-Box with "please consider adding further explanation to you answer", when a submitted answer consists only of a code-block
There have been several discussions regarding code-only answers (answers that contain only code blocks with no textual explanation whatsoever):         Personally, I can't see why the quality filter should let such answers through at all. The main problem I have with code-only answers, especially once they're flagged as not an answer or very low quality, is that we can't determine at a glance whether these answers are:   Genuinely attempting to answer the question  answers Trying to correct an error in the question without actually answering it Random code dumps that may or may not relate to the question even by programming language or keyword(s) in the question   In particular, what exactly is an "informative code-only answer"? Does it mean the code is self-documenting? Does it mean the code substitutes code comments for a proper write-up? This is all very fuzzy. From  to the last question above:     I have never seen a code-only answer that couldn't be made better with the addition of appropriate text. They are of lower-quality than the same answer with some text.   This text makes all the difference, IMO, between an answer and a non-answer. Without it, it's often needlessly difficult to tell.  Existing code-only answers that are good-faith attempts to answer the question should be edited or downvoted, yes. But if the quality filter already tries to block code-only questions, why not block code-only answers too? These answers are often low quality, and (almost) always have ample room for improvement, just like questions.
How does one go about proving that the function $x \sin x$ is not uniformly continuous on the set of real numbers ?  Any method that uses the sequential criterion for discontinuity would be preferred.  Thanks in advance ! There does not exist an entire function which satisfies $f({1\over n})={1\over 2^n}$, what I tried is if possible then define $g(z)=f(z)-{1\over 2^{1\over z}}$ Then $g({1\over n})=0$ and so $g(z)$ is entire and its $0$ set has limit point in it and so $f(z)={1\over 2^{1\over z}}$ which is not analytic at $0$? Please help!  Edit: OOps! the way I defined $g(z)$ that is not entire! could any one give me hint? When I save a file (e.g. Images) to a folder which already exist there, Chrome adds a (N) where N is first available number. This causes I have multiple copies of same file! How can I disable Chrome's auto file renaming?   Thanks How to remove ":" (colon) when displaying field name? I created a custom content type with some text fields. In the view settings of that content type I defined both to appear and as well their titles (names of the fields) to be displayed above the content of the fields respectively.  But how can I remove the trailing colon of the titles? Is there a way of modifying the way field names are display just for certain content types? I do not want this altered site wide (e.g. for all fields of all content types).  PS: I'm already using the "views" module to define a special layout for this custom content type. Probably there is a way to carry out these changes with the help of the "views" module and a custom layout template?  /edit/ I did not create a view (as with the "views" module) to display that content but used Drupal's own content type view configuration (maybe called "display"). I'm working with a localized Drupal and retranslating the different words.  Remark: Using Drupal 7.10 with Views 7.x-3.0-rc3 How to prove that $\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\frac {n^{2}}{2^{n}}=0$ & $\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\frac {n^{2}}{n!}=0$? I just spilt coffee on my laptop, what should I do? On this link (Sentinel1  for a SLC product), the resolution is written as a range from the highest corresponding to low incidence angle, to the lowest resolution corresponding to high incidence angle.  My question is how is the resolution related in general to the incidence angle? And if they are really related, why is the resolution affected by the change in the incidence angle?

When I am in RGB mode, blending transparency seems to be easier as mode such as Screen, Multiply or Overlay looks good naturally.

There was recently another release of , but it is  a pain to have to manually go to their website and download the packages every time there is a new release. Is there a PPA that always has the latest version of LibreOffice? I wish to select areas of a mesh, but it would be much simpler to just select the ones I don't want selected (because they are easier to access), and then inverse the selection.  Is this possible?

What are the correct answers, and what is the reward for getting them correct? Should I get Enlightened badge? Today I've got 10 upvotes for an answer. Answer was a first answer in the question. I got an Nice Answer badge for this, but no Enlightened badge.  Shouldn't I get both?  is my answer :) I have a final exam tomorrow for fluid mechanics and I was just looking over the practice exam questions. They do not provide solutions. But pretty much I have to define pressure at a point and also say why pressure is scalar instead of a vector.  I am thinking pressure at a point is $P=\lim_{\delta A \to 0} \frac{\delta F}{\delta A}$. Please let me know if I am wrong.   But I do not know at all why pressure is a scalar instead of a vector. I know it has something to do with $d \mathbf{F}=-Pd \mathbf{A}$ I was reading a book and this sentence seemed a little odd to me:     At approximately 19.45 hours the two men rose, stretched and yawned. They picked up their gear and stood at the door, ...   What does the first part mean? If it's the exact time, shouldn't it be 19:45? And if it's duration, shouldn't it be "After 19.45 hours"?  (The story here happens at an airbase, if it's of any relevance)    Edit: The book I've quoted is this:   by John Creed.   The author is Irish and the text is set in northern England/Ireland. Do I need a transit visa for a layover in the United Arab Emirates? Do I need a transit visa for a layover via airports in the UAE, such as Dubai International Airport or Abu Dhabi International Airport? If so, what are the requirements for such a visa?
