Without seeing the HTML and CSS for the page I'm going to be making assumptions about the effects that the JavaScript has. Feel free to include the other files if the lack of context leads me to in...
I am interested in finding out all the aspects I need to cover in order to correctly assess if a user has stopped interacting with a web page. So far, I found the following: Idle Detection API -...
Many questions and answers on Software might involve a lot of code that typically require more width and/or height to be displayed in a way that is easy to read. Why simply not enforce resize: non...
It's worth noting that logging out a user goes way beyond not fetching a token, because your UI needs to inform the user he is about to be (or has been) logged out. And if your UI closes or locks i...
During a presentation of a pipeline configuration, a colleague showed a SonarQube integration and one of its reports. A warning was caused by overrunning the max value for the code complexity thres...
I would like to ask a question about the pros/cons of using a library or more generally a way of assertion of complex data models. This is more related to testing than it is to actual coding, but ...
See this picture How do you answer in that thread? Hmm, there are two buttons. One says "show more". I click on that and the thread collapse. Is that "more"? Ok, so I click on the thread agai...
I use the devise authentication gem for a Rails application and it's very convenient. Typically I want my users to confirm their registration by email. Therefore the User model looks like class U...
I am attempting to write a program to simulate Hunt The Wumpus in the K programming language. The game requires a grid that is created by the vertices of a Dodecahedron, which is cyclic and triangu...
If you do not mind having so much code on a single line, the builder pattern might be useful here. Something along the lines: Note: the example is adapted based on an implementation I have done in...
I have the following scenario (in MySQL 8): CREATE TABLE `steps` ( `id` int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `number` varchar(30) DEFAULT NULL, `parent_number` varchar(30) DEFAULT NULL, `timestamp` ti...
You should be able to pre-set confirmed_at when you create the User instance: user = User.new(confirmed_at: DateTime.now) # plus any other details you want user.save!
Syntax-wise it is a function specifier and may in theory appear everywhere where inline (or rather the syntax item function-specifier:) can appear, since the standard doesn't say otherwise. Though ...
I need to load a site based on a cookie. I wrote code to validate that, like this. if(!isset($_COOKIE['cookie'])){ $domain = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']; setcookie('cookie', $cookie, time() ...
As a baseline, here's what we did in my last company: For tests, we used an in-memory database, whose schema was initialized by our object-relational mapper, with initial data loaded either from...
I understand that in object oriented programming, an object is an instance of a class. Not necessarily. JavaScript famously supported object-oriented programming but did not support classes un...
As with anything computer science-related that dates back to the 1960s and 70s, things just happened at a whim. Everything was new and highly experimental back then. Nobody knew how to write or des...
The standard does not talk about object files and/or linking, but it does talk about translation units. In typical compilers, a single translation unit translates into a single object file. Obviou...
Server-side solution If you can customize the server-side search functionality, you could add some logging information there. The advantages in this case are: store the data in a useful format ...
To use the identifier Node without typing struct Node, you must use a typedef: typedef struct Node{ // this here is a stuct tag int data; struct Node* next; // this has to be struct Node...
Following Alexei's comment I tried the following code which worked: window.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) { if (event.ctrlKey && event.altKey && event.key === 'l') ...
This isn't the cleanest approach but at least it works. One can define two different templates (each of them contains ItemsControl with single difference in ItemsPanelTemplate) and switch between ...
Based on my experience auto-mapping has some drawbacks: "find all references" not working as expected - anyone relying on the "find all references" functionality or similar will miss the impli...
The approach I would take given the constraints you've stated is to make much simpler and safer changes to Project A. Namely, 1) provide an API endpoint for fetching a file, and 2) provide an API e...
Our team is currently transferring all functionality (+ some changes) from small and very old project A (almost code freeze) to project B (actively developed). As part of the data migration, there ...
