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...
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...
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 ...
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 ...
There is a well know trade-off between a site aiming for questions/answers that are of a high quality and useful for people who arrive from Google and a site being nice to new users who often only ...
This is intended to be a canonical post for this problem which is pretty common. Especially among beginners. I've heard that I should avoid using floating point variables for representing curren...
For some tasks, I find git show-branch easier to follow than git log. For example, inspecting the history on someone's PR before merging it. git show-branch master topic stops at the first common ...
I've just started playing around with pygame and have written a small game in it, of which I'd like a review. Note that I'm not only a complete beginner in pygame, but I also have very little exper...
The size of the "primitive data types" int, float etc is not defined by the standard. In practice, int is either 16 or 32 bits on all known systems. Because of the unspecified size leading to poor...
I'm rather new to using git, so I'm not sure about the best practices regarding it. I have a feature branch branched off, and periodically when the feature needs to be updated I will add some commi...
The problem Given a string s containing just the characters '(', ')', '{', '}', '[' and ']', determine if the input string is valid. An input string is valid if: Open brackets are closed by ...
You should know I am not a bot by now ;-)
Context Our team has begun migrating a pretty old internal application and one aspect that got my attention is the impersonation. This is implemented as follows: only administrators are allowed...
We have a bunch of dead branches in our git repository, and I'd like to clean them up. Ones that were merged (but not deleted at the time) are easy; we can see those in the branch list on Bitbucke...
From the command line, the following command will give you a list of all authors who have made local-only commits to a branch some-branch: git log some-branch --not --remotes --format="%an" And...
This behaviour is documented here: "... an ambiguous timestamp that could fall on either side of a jump-back transition is assigned the UTC offset that prevailed just after the transition." S...
On 25th October 2020 in Europe/Berlin clocks where set back from 03:00 AM to 02:00 AM to change from summer time (CEDT) to winter time (CET). Which means there is a 1 hour separation between 02:30...
