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...
While learning JavaScript, I started to see =, == and === operators. What's the difference between them?
You can now add "category:###" to a search, where ### is the number in the URL for the category, to restrict the search to one category. For example, Software Dev Q&A is 38 and Code Review is ...
Placing <script> in the <head>: Placing <script> in the <head> might affect the performance since the content won't load until the browser complete downloading the JavaScri...
I posted an answer here and IIRC received one or two upvotes. Then a user falsely accused me of copy-pasting from Wikipedia without citing my sources. To that accusation I replied here. However...
NotImplementedError should generally be viewed as indicating some design problem. You should not be reaching for it as a matter of course. Here are some potential times you might feel a desire to ...
A question should be closed when it cannot be meaningfully answered by someone who knows the topic. Which might indeed mean that the one(s) casting the close vote(s) would need domain knowledge. T...
I have a site hosted through GitHub and I'm using footers for special links and it also serves as my main navigation bar for now. I find it a little frustrating to manually copy-paste the footer's ...
It depends. Pure Python is usually forward-compatible with newer minor versions, but this is not always the case. Features/modules that were available in a previous minor version may no longer be ...
Recently, Python updated from 3.11 to 3.12 and now all my libraries are gone. Actually they're in the old 3.11 site-packages, but now that python points to 3.12 those are not active. Every time I r...
First: What is an opaque pointer in C? Now when it comes to testing such a type, I know of 3 ways: Include the source file (the one containing the definition of the type and the functions tha...
This is my first try at automating building and testing some C code for these platforms: Linux Windows MacOS OpenBSD (arm64 and x86-64) FreeBSD (arm64 and x86-64) NetBSD Oracle Solaris Om...
Files with .py extension are scripts. You run them with python myscript.py. Python is an imperative language, so executing a file will run each line one by one, starting from the top, and exit whe...
As part of a general effort to produce basic Q&As for Python, recently I've been focused on issues related to starting up an interpreter and running the code - so, questions about setting up an...
Perhaps regex is not the best solution. Although it's possible, the expression will be so complicated that it won't be worth the trouble, IMO. But if you insist on using regex... I'm afraid w...
I found a strange expression in some Python code: from library import HOME_DIRECTORY file = HOME_DIRECTORY / "file.json" It seems to be dividing a string by another string in order to do som...
I have a DTO that contains an enum field: @Getter @Setter static class Foo { Bar bar; } enum Bar { X, Y } When I deserialize a JSON, it allows int as values: var objectMapper ...
I am learning how to write makefile to compile a c program. I have a directory structure like this: . ├── include │ └── library.h ├── lib │ └── library.c ├── makefile └── obj My makef...
Haskell tooling can be confusing. Both Stack and Cabal appear to be build tools with similar goals. How do they differ? Why should you pick one over the other?
JetBrains Rider suggests that I change this (for example): public class Foo { public int OnePlusOne { get; } = 1 + 1; } to this: public class Foo { public int OnePlusOne => 1 + 1...
The answer by hkotsubo is correct. But just in case you're being very specific about fast-forwarding, it's worth stressing that you can use --ff-only as an option on the merge to abort if it requir...
After switching to a different branch, git checkout - can move me back to the branch I came from. This is handy for times when I wonder "wait, what was that last branch again?" But this does not w...
The topic of how to implement polymorphism in C tends to pop up now and then. Many programmers are used to OO design from higher level languages and supposedly OO is a "language-agnostic" way of pr...
They aren't actually that different from natural language. But more verbose. Given some generic pseudo code looking like one of the C family languages: if( !egg.boiled || !egg.peeled ) { do_no...
