The Fifth Element wasn't that good of a movie, and is even less so as a question. If there really is a question hiding in there, somewhere.

Isn't it in the title?

Well... I thought, maybe it was. That is until I attempted to digest the attached prose. I sort of got lost in the weeds somewhere around a low correlation (60%, whatever that means). Then I found the pussy willows and bull rushes and knew it was a swamp. Though, it might be a round-about backdoor-style attempt to ask the same question as asked earlier:

I don't think it was the same question. By my reading, my question was, "are there kids who can't", and this question is "what correlates with being able to". But I think that the writing rather obscures that, and I also agree with the closure as too broad.

I'm off to bed for the night. Take care, @GypsySpellweaver!

peasant dreams

I'll have to agree with Gypsy, there's a lot of quick-sand in that swamp :P

too quiet here.

Yes, it is.

Though just a few days ago, there was a lot of activity. It felt like the early days :)

I know. That's why I said it's too quiet

We need HNQs.

and a lot of them

Yeah. And the HNQ formula accepts self-answers, so it isn't so hard to spur them on.

Should I fake a question? It would still be a useful question, and hopefully interesting, but it isn't a real question.

Do you have one in mind?

in other words, should I try to create a HNQ, with the intent of it becoming HNQ?

You can. Sometimes, when I create a question, I also take some extra steps to help propel it onto HNQ. (It depends on the question, and whether I think it would represent the site well.)

If I think it would benefit the site, I announce the question here in advance to give people a chance to start thinking about it, and then let people know when I'm about to post it. Sometimes I'll also have a self-answer or two.

I can think of something. It won't be too difficult. But I don't like the idea, because HNQ generate a lot of low quality.

That depends on the question, no?

@BenI. I'll write a question that has just a hint of opinion, and things most programmers and educators can give their experience.

:D

firstly I need to decide whether I am asking about something to do with some language, or ask about some concept.

I think I'll go with web based languages. Node js. First thing that comes to mind is about the large number of js libraries.

Got it.

It isn't a thing I know anything about, but it sounds like it would be more in @thesecretmaster's camp.

Dealing with the massive number of JS libraries when teaching nodejs. "Which libraries should I use" is without a doubt a question students would ask, in a lesson about these things.

If the goal is HNQ, post it to the sandbox first. That way people can see it and start to mentally compose answers. You'll get a faster turnaround time for responses on the site once it goes live.

good point

@BenI. Hm?

Itamar will be asking a question abotu nodejs
