| Mar 24, 2019 at 14:11 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | @harrymc So after much prompting you have finally read the help pages? ;) | |
| Mar 24, 2019 at 14:09 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | @harrymc Mods may start the ball rolling by writing a meta question, but at the end of the day it is a community decision. | |
| Mar 24, 2019 at 14:07 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | @harrymc Moderators do not decide site policy. That is done by the community. All we do is provide guidance and advice. If the community wants to decide that a particular area of technology should now be on topic they should should write a meta question with reasons why and let the community vote. | |

| Mar 21, 2019 at 18:35 | comment | added | Tim_Stewart | @Harrymc, slightly disagree with that statement, the fundamentals of computer science have not changed since I was in school (+15 years ago). Maybe a review accounting for Moore's law is in order every 18-24 months? Other than starting this discussion, how do we go about getting attention from moderators to get meaningful change? | |
| Mar 21, 2019 at 17:38 | comment | added | harrymc | Technology is evolving too fast to be set in stone. I think the moderators need to start a project here for improving the rules. | |
| Mar 21, 2019 at 17:34 | comment | added | Tim_Stewart | Agreed that the rules may be outdated. I do not wish to have the "rules changed", rather I would like them to be set in stone. This is an attempt to get new users asking questions, and new users contributing along with long standing members to all be on the same page. Nothing more... | |

| Mar 21, 2019 at 17:25 | comment | added | Ramhound | @harrymc - Your question was closed as a duplicate. It is not deleted. There is a huge difference. | |
| Mar 21, 2019 at 17:19 | comment | added | harrymc | @Tim_Stewart: You are trying to define new rules. I think that this is impossible since the technology is too vast and cannot be listed. I rather prefer that the moderators will spell out their criteria and put them up for discussion. The rules are really outdated and need being refreshed. | |

| Mar 21, 2019 at 17:13 | comment | added | Tim_Stewart | There is definitely gray areas, (1) I agree, the argument could be made that any consumer product that has a microcontroller is technically a computer because: it has a cpu, clock, ram, storage space, and accepts digital inputs/outputs. This is exactly why I started this discussion. | |
