In the C program below, I make a mistake and call the function with (ld, ld) instead of (d, ld). #include <stdio.h> #include <limits.h> void print_int_long(int n, long l){ pri...
You can use -Wconversion but you should be aware that it is very prone to false positives. It's a good flag to turn on during code review etc to shake out a few minor issues, but it's not a flag yo...
I understand data compression as making data structures nearer (if they are mere machine code without any abstract representation) or representing them in less and less abstract computer languages...
Data compression uses a wide variety of tactics to reduce the storage needed for data, including (just off the top of my head): Run length encoding - e.g., store aaaaa as ax5 Tokenizing commonl...
Is it worth using the Java Platform Module System introduced in Java 9 to structure application code? Given that the Java Platform Module System introduced in Java 9 doesn't manage dependency vers...
The reaction feature doesn't quite exist yet. That post is a suggestion for a future feature. It was positively received, which means we'll give it a try at some point in the future, but building ...
I have a parent-child relation in my table, with possibly circular cases. Is it possible to break the infinite recursion in CTE checking values of all previous rows? I would need something like thi...
Because you are using Qt in particular there is something to be said for not solving this problem yourself. Instead, create a single object that owns the stream or file and offers a writeLine slot...
How can one differentiate what is or is not a *nix operating system even if that operating system (or its core/shell/common-utilities) allegedly behaves like any "other" *nix operating system? Is ...
This is a very common problem. First some basics: There are two very different things in email: Email Server (a.k.a. hosting) This is the system that sends, receives and stores email message...
We don't actually serve any captchas: it's all done by Cloudflare. Cloudflare runs a firewall that scans incoming requests and issues a captcha challenge to any that appear to be automated or malic...
Looks like it's guessed at a language for both of those code blocks, and got it wrong. If you need a code block without syntax highlighting, you can use ```plain to start the code block.
Instead of replacing the brackets, you could do just one loop, and keep a stack with the opening brackets. Every time you find a closing bracket, check if it corresponds to the stack top: if it's n...
The problem You are given the following information, but you may prefer to do some research for yourself. 1 Jan 1900 was a Monday. Thirty days has September, April, June and November. All t...
The Drupal tag is not in lowercase, as all other tags are. Is this intended?
I'm writing a JSON schema to validate asset files for a program. The JSON I need to parse is structured so: { "jobs": { "software-developer": { "job-description": "sw-dev.md:0", "pay": 800...
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...
What I want: An object that contains a function that I can update after creation. I created a struct that contains a parameter b and a function(closure?) named Internal_Fn. struct MyThing { ...
Asking customer service-related questions is generally offtopic unless there is a connection to the software development process. Taking your examples one by one: How do I get my Facebook deve...
If I try to rename a tag to an existing one it silently fails. Example: trying to rename data-archiving to archiving fails with console error only: application-f4dc10c11dc65439a992f7c98cb554bfbc...
The problem with undefined behavior due to array out of bounds happens whenever we use pointer arithmetic, which is only defined to work within the bounds of an array. Where plain variables, "scala...
As far as I can tell, it is in part determined by the HTML spec's History API1, specifically the value of history.scrollRestoration. Quoting the HTML spec's scroll restoration mode paragraph: ...
This question probably stems from misunderstanding what case sensitivity is. Being case insensitive does not mean only allowing one case - in fact, it implies the opposite! If one case was treated ...
