I found two tags: back-end and backend. Should we merge them?
Quite obviously, these are the same. The name of the two is literally the same except for a hyphen. They only have one question each. Looking at the questions, they are indeed used for the same pur...
Types are often followed by exclamation marks in GraphQL schemas. What do they mean? type User { id: Int! email: String! name: String! updatedAt: String! createdAt: String...
I found simple steps to repro the issue on Firefox: In your preferences, set some favourite tag(s). Make sure you click outside of the favourite tags edit field to make sure the edit field has...
TL;DR To count the number of li items, just do: console.log(document.querySelectorAll('ul.example > li').length); That's all, no need to complicate with filter.call (but I'll explain that t...
My favourite tags is empty. Although, some tags are highlighting. Usually, I was using another account earlier. I forgot (lost that gmail address) password (I can reset but, I don't want to use tha...
https://software.codidact.com/posts/277536/278390?sort=score At the point when I'm posting, the answer by Lundin has +14 score and the answer by dmckee has +11 score. Neither has any down votes. ...
Thanks for raising this on meta. Indeed the comment author admitted to making a mistake by accusing of copy-pasting from Wikipedia and I have removed all the comments. However, now my answer is ...
Assignment (=) = is the assignment operator: it assigns a value to "something". One important detail is that an assignment expression not only assigns a value, but it also returns it. This allows...
Should someone be warned when their question lacks for effort? Actually, we don't know about their effort. Nor do we actually need effort, itself. What we need are particular results of effort...
I am not a Java developer, but a C# .NET one, but I guess static concept is very similar between the two. As in many areas, it depends, but for most applications using static should be avoided: ...
If I have a one-dimensional array, I can get the length of it quite easily: var x = moves.Length(). However, if the array is multi-dimensional, .Length() returns the total number of elements. If ...
"Hash Sum mismatch" printed by apt-get on Debian and derivatives means that the file as downloaded had a different cryptographic checksum (hash) than what's listed in the packages list. In this ca...
Overall the structure seems sensible. Style It's Python style to have two blank lines after a function or method, not just one. You seem to be trying to line wrap before 80 characters. Maybe you...
I think what you are looking for is Array.GetLength which: gets a 32-bit integer that represents the number of elements in the specified dimension of the Array.
I have finally received access to a trial account on OpenAI and I took it for a spin. My interest is with code generation, so first tried something simple using the playground: Q: generate a stand...
There are two issues here. The first is that this code isn't rolling over at 8PM as expected: if (now.getHours() > 20) { now.setDate(now.getDate() + 1); } This change happens at 9PM as...
I want to remove a deprecated entry from the default build.gradle file as well as change the default layout of an empty activity to use Relative Layout instead of constraint. I'm using Android Stu...
I would argue that functional programming predates functioning computers. Alonzo Church developed the Lambda Calculus in the 1930s. This may be a fairly austere form of functional programming, bu...
As a big fan of tacit/point-free programming in general, I'm looking at different tacit programming systems for inspiration (for a language I'm creating). What are the advantages and disadvantages ...
I think a lot of the bad press about iframes stems from W3C deprecating them in HTML 4 strict mode, which caused the herd of web developers to internalize that iframes are bad and should be avoided...
Overview Our development team is currently trying to develop and migrate a Web application that is split in two: legacy: ASP.NET MVC 5, jQuery, old-style JS programming overall "next": Angular...
I went ahead and made a proposal on Power User that a separate category for office suites should be made. I suggest that we wait and see where that proposal lands. If a category for these question...
When posting this question, I noticed a difference between editor's preview and the post's final render. When editing, the preview correctly shows the Zalgo Text: But after the post is saved, i...
Should be avoided secondary discussions or debates on controversial points (please ask a question on meta). Just when is a discussion secondary? I think r~~ used the term "digressive", wh...
