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...
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...
If the names of the properties in the jobs and people objects are variable, you can use the patternProperties keyword instead of the properties keyword in the respective schemas for jobs and people...
I prefer the current way. Regarding tooltips Experience shows that tooltips can survive a lot of time being obsolete. In SO in meta they have "This answer is useful" and "This answer is not usefu...
The basic ideia is to create an input with a "fake" placeholder, and a span that will serve as the actual placeholder text. Then you group both inside a label, like this: <label> <inpu...
The question has since been changed to specify certain languages that are not strictly object-oriented. Leaving this answer for anyone coming here looking for info about object-oriented languages. ...
First a meta note. Code golf isn't a great way to learn a language. It explicitly optimizes for something that generally isn't valuable (fewer bytes of source code) typically at the expense of aspe...
Warnings most often mean "here is a bug which will likely cause your program to crash or misbehave". They do not mean "here's something that you can optionally fix when you can spare the time". See...
To start, Angular is a Single-Page Application (SPA) framework. This means your whole "site" is served from a single web page. Any apparent navigation within that site is just (Angular's) JavaScrip...
History of edits to the Q shows that status-bydesign tag was added but instead a new status-by-design tag is created.
I haven't actually tried used them myself, but other people on teams I'm on use the following free screen readers to check how a site works in them: On Windows: NVDA On Mac and iOS: VoiceOver ...
I am trying to change the font type and size in a JTable cell. Ive looked at tons of posts and while most don't produce stack traces, they don't seem to do anything either. Here is the code I curr...
