Welcome to Software Development on Codidact!
Will you help us build our independent community of developers helping developers? We're small and trying to grow. We welcome questions about all aspects of software development, from design to code to QA and more. Got questions? Got answers? Got code you'd like someone to review? Please join us.

I nominate Alexei, who has a body of well-received posts on Q&A and meta, both asking and answering, and seems interested in helping to organize and expand this fledgling community.
For holding ordered sets of keys, there are well-known data structures (the red-black tree, for example) that support O(log(n)) lookup and insertion algorithms. Of course this means that there triv...
I have JSON that looks something like this: {"id":"n-fsdf-6b6", "name":"JohnSmith", "revisionDate":1591072274000} The JSON data is named CharacterInfo. It comes from a static external URL. The str...
Off-topic questions about which tools, frameworks, or technologies to use, unless they are directly related to development (e.g. code, schema changes documentation tools) I propose removing thi...
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)...
Unless there are reasons for keeping the "check for unintended consequences" and "perform the action" in the same endpoint, I would split them into two parts: GET /api/v1/action-can-charge-the...
What (if anything) does the C standard have to say about linking objects? My guess is that, because C only defines language->behavior rules, it completely ignores any potential intermediate form...
I have an array that I need to clone in Angular / Typescript. That is, any change done on an element from the cloned array should not affect the content of the initial array. How can I achieve thi...
This is based on a code review discussion that I had with a colleague about the way I have designed the resources paths for an ASP.NET Core controller that is currently consumed only internally (by...
Object and Class aren't necessarily the same thing. Back in the 1980's when object oriented programming started to be talked about by practicing software engineers writing real production code, th...
I doubt that there is an actual standard HTTP response code to indicate exactly what you're looking for. 202 (Accepted) is close, but doesn't really seem to me to be about a situation where the cli...
Suppose I am using a Java API from Kotlin and I want to call a function that takes a FloatArray (represented as float[] in Java), and I have an Iterable<Float> as my input data type. To be mo...
The question How to efficiently remove every occurrence of one string inside another and discussions in the comments there got me thinking about the best way to ask about algorithmic problems. In p...
The point of VCL is to allow you to work with SIMD operations explicitly. OpenMP simd is more or less just a way to provide hints to the auto-vectorization the compiler is doing, so to some degree ...
We use Jenkins Pipeline to build and test some C++ software. The pipeline script runs the tests on 10 different nodes in a parallel way in order to save time. All of these nodes are real (not virtu...
Let's say I have some collection of data. My goal is to provide different kind of view of ItemsControl depending on user`s preference. For simplicity, we can assume that user can select only betwe...
