You should be able to alias the string to something short. For example, I have git config --global alias.a 'add .' git config --global alias.ci commit and so instead of git add . git commi...
In HTML, style information is applied to elements; it can't be applied to individual characters in a text node. Therefore, if you want to style the * differently, it needs a dedicated element. You...
I wish to fill an array with strings, using Bash scripting. The strings are in a file, one per line. Here is what I've tried: declare -a my_array=() while read line; do my_array+=( "$line"...
Yes, it is in practice always a character type and you can safely assume as much, both in terms of (g)lvalue access and in terms of strict pointer aliasing. If not, the compiler would soon render i...
If you want to be more Linq-like without creating a ForEach method: vehicles = vehicles .Select( v => new Vehicle { Make = v.Make, ...
As @ArtOfCode mentioned, it is not fully clear what you are trying to match. From the first line in your post, you are trying to extract THIS. THAT. out of THIS. THAT..OTHER . The following regex ...
I'm trying to parse lines like "THIS. THAT..OTHER " so that "THIS. THAT." is found. There can be more than one <word><dot> separated by a space except no space after the last one. ...
Matching a valid email address can be as complicated as you want it to be. If you want to be compliant with RFC 5322, the regex will be a monster (see below). But if you want a subset of it, with...
Whenever I search in google why a specific language is interpreted language, I get differences between compiled languages and interpreted languages but nowhere the benefit for being interpreted rat...
Interpreters are easier to write than compilers. For this reason esoteric and toy languages are often implemented by interpretation. But the dichotomy between interpreted and compiled languages is...
I rent a shared-hosting environment with CentOS-Bash, Apache, PHP, MySQL and a web-based IMAP email client (Roundcube) and some more tools, on which I host my personal website; I don't have Cpanel...
Yes, it's correct. An object's methods aren't things that exist in memory with the object. They're in a completely separate section of memory, and a method exists exactly once regardless of whethe...
Codidact doesn't support cross-community duplicates, like closing a question in a per-community meta category as a duplicate of a question on main Meta. However, our messaging there could be, uh, ...
When reading about various operators used by programming languages, the term "short circuit behavior" is often used. For example in this C code: int a = 0; a && b++ Someone explained t...
It looks like your vertexSizeBytes stride variable doesn't include uvSize. To figure things like this out, use this kind of logic: The shape of the image isn't a square, so something is wrong wit...
What specific algorithm makes it possible to scramble data into an unrecoverable form, yet still be usable for its intended purpose? It isn't any one specific algorithm. There are many differe...
They are tools for different audiences. pipx does not replace pip. In some more detail, pip answers the question "As a Python developer, how can I install Python packages and their dependencies" w...
No, you can't use and for this. In Python, a and b always, always, always means b if a else a. It cannot be overridden and cannot mean anything else. Likewise not, and any other boolean keywords, ...
Among other things, a URL consists of a host and a path: I was wondering (and couldn't find anything) if there's a name for the combination of host and path. Is there a name for these: examp...
I want to write one or more self-answered Q&As on the topic of text encoding in Python, to serve as canonicals and preempt future lower-quality questions. I can think of the following things th...
Import modules rather than names first to avoid a circular reference in the import statements; then use forward declarations, as before, to avoid a circular reference in the type annotations - like...
This feature has not yet been implemented. However, there is a feature request on Codidact Meta that requests it for all communities. You (and anyone else who would like to see this) can add your ...
I don't actually know the answer to this, but I'll post a provisional one while we wait for someone wiser than me to chime in. I think this is a small subset of the real answer. Don't forget the...
Is software system design on topic for the software development site? For what I mean by system design, consider the "system design interview" commonly held these days when recruiting software eng...
No. Terms like "too generic", "unclear", "too broad", "off topic" are absolutely not euphemisms for "stupid question, go away". They mean what they say; and when they are used Somewhere Else, mult...
