I'd like to organize my Matlab packages into folders. However, if I try to lay out my code like this +MyPackage |---foo.m |---SubDir |---bar.m then I'm unable to reach bar. F...
A single element tuple has a trailing comma Note that the example in the question does not form a tuple, as there is a special syntax for single element tuples. A single element tuple has a traili...
I see it such that it is undefined behavior (I refer to N1570 as the OP https://port70.net/~nsz/c/c11/n1570.html): After free(p), the lifetime of the object pointed to has ended (7.22.3p1: "The li...
I wanted to create a simple static website that would use JS to randomly rotate through a quotes.json file I maintain. My JavaScript experience is more limited as it's not what I do at work, so wha...
It isn't writable (but then again, neither are the dictionary views), but you might be interested in more_itertools.SequenceView.
The scope currently lists as on-topic: Best practices, as long as clear "best" criteria are provided. Examples: fastest execution, least memory use, widest tool support for a target, most begi...
Goal Our goal is to create a kind of table, using HTML/CSS/JS, with cells that expand when you click on them. If you click on a header, the whole row or column will expand. This in itself is not ...
While reviewing older bug reports we discovered that the first problem is now working; the code fences show up in the diff. The second one still shows as one line without a clear diff, but I don't...
git checkout --ours -- * --theirs would do the opposite, i.e. keep the changes from branch-y. Don't forget to git add later!
I noticed I have the ability Participate Everywhere even though I do not meet the requirements (Having roughly 75% of my posts to be positively received, with a minimum of 5 positively-recieved pos...
MWE In the terminal run: mkdir mwe cd mwe mkdir dir touch f1.txt f2.pdf dir/f1.txt dir/f2.pdf git init . Create a .gitignore with: * # ignore all !dir/ # except this directory ...
There's still time This scenario is not yet a problem for this site, but we will get there, since it's a huge problem for Stack Overflow This topic should be separately addressed, too. At ti...
My take on this: Q&A sites used to fill two distinct roles, but only one of these (the more boring one that doesn't matter anyway) is usurped by LLMs. The interesting one is not yet in danger o...
In computer programming, an expression is something that yields a value. A statement performs an action. For example, let us look at some pseudocode. Let's assume that we want to calculate the su...
My redirect in javascript somehow gets "hijacked" and I don't understand how. Previous developer (who is no longer working with the company) on page load initialized onbeforeunload event like so: ...
In Python, multiprocessing is easy to do if you follow a "list projection" paradigm. Say you want to take a list of inputs X and apply some function f to every x_i, such that y_i = f(x_i) and the y...
Another reason could be to allow to perform the merge without auto commit and no fast-forward: git merge the_branch --no-commit --no-ff This allows reviewing the merged changes before they are ...
New LLMs like ChatGPT are now creating competition with Q&A sites like Codidact and StackOverflow. Moreover, this is parasitic: LLMs get "boosted" by Q&A sites because they can use them for...
I'm working on a system where the frontend will make a call to the backend to perform an action. Sometimes this action can cause other unintended consequences (like charging the customer), in thes...
I think it should be on-topic with the following distinction: On-topic Technical questions regarding to UI, including mark-up language syntax, how to set properties in RAD tools, how to use gra...
This is somewhat of a non-answer because I also think the answer is mostly "no". I'll split kinds of triggers into three categories. 1) Those that only touch the affected rows, 2) those that addit...
I have noticed that lots of projects (both in real-world and within online courses) use Automapper to map domain models to view models, API models. The main advantage seems to be convenience by re...
I have not used a database trigger in years in the projects of the teams I have worked in, but I have seen them being used by other teams. Back in 2009, it seemed like a heated debate, but I am wo...
Agner Fog has this C++ Vector Class Library, which is ... useful for improving code performance where speed is critical and where the compiler is unable to vectorize the code automatically in an...
I'm not familiar with Latex, but it seems the PDFs are generated from the Latex files. It then seems the real problem is that you are trying to keep source and objects derived from that source in ...
