tl;dr According to the documentation, innerHTML property "gets or sets the HTML or XML markup contained within the element". Basically, "that's all", but let's see it in more detail. It makes...
I'm working on an integration with a proprietary (black box) system. There is some TCP communication that occurs between two microservices. I've managed to sniff the traffic and it's being sent in...
I have console scripts in my virtual environment in \env\Scripts, installed with packages (e.g. black, pytest, coverage). If I try to execute these in Git Bash, the output is not returned to the te...
PS: for small arrays and/or if the function is fast and doesn't cause performance bottlenecks, none of the below is really necessary (see the analysis in the end). That said, let's see how to sol...
I'm using git for LaTeX projects and am in a little dilemma about how to best ignore files. if I add *.pdf to my .gitignore file, I keep forgetting to force add included graphics if I don...
A significant fraction of software developers also needs to make some UI/UX-related decisions. I am wondering if we should such questions in the Software Development community. Based on feedback...
In your situation, the most obvious thing to do is use a for loop over the Iterable or the Iterable.forEach extension method depending on your preference, and directly put floats into the FloatBuff...
How can we use git-send-email(1) to sign patches (emails) with the gpg(1) keyring? I've heard it can be done, but couldn't find anything in the git-send-email(1) documentation nor in a web search.
Because method constness is part of the type signature for the method, and const/non-const methods are completely separate as far as the language is concerned. When you override a method in a deriv...
Your function returns a pointer to a local non-static variable. Such a variable exists only during execution of the function and is removed on return. This means you are left with a so-called dangl...
tl;dr Just use a POST. There's likely literally no reason not to in your situation. REST is not a standard. Being RESTful in and of itself is not a virtue. I strongly suspect that your current...
I'm able to access a, since b is below a on the stack. No, it's not! You have no guarantee in what order the compiler allocates temporary variables on the stack, and even whether it does so at al...
Notice You'll need to backpedal some! Read the answer by @r~~ above, but I expect you need some hints. This reads as either a selfstudy or schooling exercise task, so I'll stick to review + hints...
I have two tables with millions of records. Every so often I need to join them and exclude just a handful of records where a bit(1) column is set to 1 instead of 0. I can do it with either, WHERE ...
Generally, I would say: On-topic How to install, configure, trouble-shoot and use tools specifically meant for software development. Compilers, debuggers, IDEs and so on. Asking questions rega...

I'd like my web front end to be accessible, including to people who use screen readers. I know the basics about labels and alt text for images, but there are some areas where I'm not sure what a s...
Writing to the file on the HD is your massive bottleneck no matter how many threads you throw around. The limit is the physical memory access speed, not processing power. And since it is such a bot...
I've just dived into pygame and written a little game in it, of which I'd like a review (it's my first try of pygame). However I'm not sure if it is a good fit for the site, and if so, how exactly ...
This is both by design. Lundin's example is an answer link, which intentionally puts the selected answer at the top of the answer list. Because we only have two answers here, this isn't as intuiti...
I was searching further why it's not working properly. Then I created a CSS file. Linked that CSS to XML using the following command. <?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="test.css"?> Th...
The main problem with using floating point is that the typical floating point type is binary floating point. But in binary floating point, most decimal fractions cannot be represented exactly. That...
