In addition to what Moshi already told you: Among web designers, W3Schools has a somewhat tainted reputation, because it often makes things simpler than they really are. In my experience, this lac...
To start off, here is the complete HTML of a simple example table: <html lang="en-US"> <head> <title>Title</title> <style> table { width: 20em; ...
"Brainfuck" is the name of a programming language; using the full name of the language is perfectly fine. We don't need to bowlderize proper names. As for your other example - foul language in cod...
Summary (TL;DR) Using strcpy directly on non-sanitized user input is bad, otherwise it's fine. strncpy is a dangerous function that should be avoided. Its presence in your source is a muc...
I am interested in knowing how the recent Codidactyl game and its code were created and obfuscated. See the non-announcement. From other posts, it appears that luap42 and Monica Cellio may have wo...
I have a post where I mention a script named dead.sh Ok... now I have two posts like that. But that is not a website. It is a filename, and not one reachable through an URL. How can I inhibit aut...
Method 1: <span> (or other HTML tag) It appears that Markdown isn't detected within HTML tags, so you can wrap the URL-like in a span or other tag and it won't turn into a link. <span>...
First of all, I've added a print in your code to show the dates: if days % 7 == 0 and current_day == 1: print(f'{current_year}-{current_month:>02}-{current_day:>02}') sundays += 1 ...
Use a stack while just scanning your string once from left to right. No need for multiple (performance-wise) expensive string replacements. If implemented right, the stack will only ever contain at...
For debugging running programs I often use whatever is integrated with the IDE I am using. QtDeveloper right now, but also used Eclipse, Netbeans and others. Most of them just use gdb under the hoo...
I just started to see greetings in posts like: "Hello", "Thank you", "Morning" and other types of greetings. Should this greetings be removed from posts or we just keep them? Sometimes I think th...
Caveat When making a decision of such lasting impact, you should conduct your own evaluation according to the criteria that matter to you. This post does not attempt to replace such an evaluation,...
First of all, I realize that this is mostly a library you've implemented while learning programming, for the sake of learning, which is great. So I would rather not put a "wet blanket" over your at...
The warnings just say that you can't pass a string literal with type char[] to a function taking a struct Book* parameter. The function should be declared as: void init_Book_types (const char* tit...
It would seem that the C standard library is a collection of diverse functions that pretty much just ended up in the standard by tradition or "accident", rather than through some careful plan or ra...
How do I delete contents of a specific field, if it matches a pattern, and there is nothing else in the field? I have a several GB tsv file, and I am interested in a specific field (72). If it cont...
As @Quasímodo has shown, the search pattern \(abc.*\)\@<!bird\|bird\(.*xyz\)\@! solves your problem. But, why does it work, and why does your original approach not work? What you want to achi...
Assume this trivial logic puzzle which I have made up: There are three boys, Fred, John and Max. No two of the boys have the same age. Max is older than John. Fred is not the oldest one. Quest...
Given the link where the code comes from (based on your other question), this is just a, let's say, "free-form/pseudo-code/documentation example". It's not a valid JavaScript code. It's more like...
Since accessing the memory allocated by malloc beyond the size given to the call is undefined behaviour (which means that the standard poses no restriction to the behaviour of a program that does t...
By "deeply clone", I assume you mean "also make copies of whatever nested structures the object might have". And for those, I guess libraries like Lodash are more reliable and appropriate if you wa...
There are a few reasons for wanting to move computation closer to data. One is performance, which you've mentioned. Another is security. Databases enforce their own security boundary, and data that...
Co I'm a database/desktop dev venturing into programming web apps using Angular and I've been informed 'functional reactive programming' is something I should be aware of. Some other site has a ge...
Currently, there is no consensus about whether to provide tooltips for the voting buttons (especially the downvote one). However, the community now includes quite a lot of questions that attracted ...
When we launched this community, we did not yet have the ability to set different reputation grants for different categories. We've had this for a while but we failed to follow up before now, sorr...
