Note: This is not an official Codidact staff answer; this is my personal opinion. Let's try to build up a bit of an original base before we work on imports. Based on other sites where content was ...
A cancellation token doesn't inherently do anything. It's up to the code which does the work to call ThrowIfCancellationRequested. If the token isn't passed on and isn't explicitly checked then the...
I've come to realize that tags began changing pretty rapidly recently. In the past 3 days alone, these happened: [urlrewrite] was changed to a more generic [url-rewriting] tag and the tag wiki for...
questions about the system, network, or server administration Which system? I think it is clearer without "the": questions about system, network, or server administration
Luckily, we are in a position where we don't have to re-invent the wheel. We can see what went either wrong or horribly wrong at SO, then avoid making the same mistakes. Some common problems: Maki...
On that other site that shall not be named, reference request questions are outlawed as "asking for an off-site resource". What do you guys think about such questions? Should they be welcome here?...
1 - Rearrange the code: Open stdin, read all parameters, close stdin, then process the parameters. 2 - Consider adding some validation to the parameters. 3 - Add an explanation of the magic number ...
Let's say I have a table with 10,000 rows and instead of selecting all of the rows at once I select 1,000 at a time like LIMIT 0,1000 LIMIT 1000,1000 etc. Without an ORDER BY statement the or...
This is a class from my personal code library, and from a package which deals with integer sequences. It implements an interface package org.cheddarmonk.math.sequence; public interface IntegerSequ...
If one is using SASS to build a websites CSS and using version control one can either, Keep both the SASS and the resulting CSS files in version control. Only storing the SASS files in version con...
I have tables A and B and then I have a many to many join table with foreign keys to both called a_b. Neither foreign key can be null and the combinations for the foreign keys to A and B are unique...
Already good answers, but I can provide a slightly different perspective here: always use braces if there is a risk of getting into a pitfall. Examples (from C#, but the language is less relevant)...
I created subscription to new questions that should emailed every 7 days but I receieved every day. here is my setting: here is my mail inbox: and unfortunately, I got emails with same quest...
tl;dr If you don't have a reason otherwise, you should use get. More precisely, if you will be done with the future, you should use get. You should use wait only if there is some separation between...
I'm trying to understand the purpose of the wait() function in Class future<> for C++. At the moment I don't see any purpose for calling wait() instead of get(). What I have tried in code: i...
Reasons to use the construct #define FOO(x) do{...} while(0);: As mentioned above, doing so solves the problem of if (...) FOO(y); You can declare variables inside the block, and they ...

In SO, I had saw that a person was writing lot of abusive words inside code. Just like, if(a==b){ print("f***") } I had flagged on that post with little bit explanation. The user gave ...
I have a mobile-only HTML contact form divided in source code into three sections; each section should contain fields by a different context. <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> ...
Proposal: Can Include Helpful feedback I'd refrain from restricting the topic of feedback, because there are many possible topics: Clarifying the question Explaining why OP would be ...
I agree that these buttons should have tooltips explaining what the buttons are for. That would be far more useful than showing the result of a simple calculation on the displayed votes, and seems ...
If I understand correctly what you are asking for is a static code analysis tool for PHP. A quick search reveals that Psalm would be such a tool.
I think there are two aspects here: What to do about offtopic questions? Being offtopic should trigger a close/flagging action. I see voting mostly related to the post quality (useful, shows some...
Is there any disadvantage of doing it this way that I should be aware of? In general whitelisting is the best way to sanitise, but it does create important error classes, especially missing it...
You are correct in your analysis (though I would not call new_b a "parameter" but a captured variable). What you want is for the closure (anonymous function) to take responsibility for new_b and n...
