Setting up 2FA now produces a recovery code (with instructions to save it). If you later sign in using that recovery code, it disables 2FA until you re-enable it, getting a new code in the process...
The Null Values article in the F# Language Reference show an example that uses it, but it does not explain what it does exactly. You can use the following code to check if an arbitrary value is ...
box and unbox are operators documented in the F# Core API Reference; it tersely states that they box / unbox (respectively) a strongly typed value. box a returns value a "wrapped" in a .NET Sy...
It doesn't change commit data when you push. You have to set your local email address to the noreply one. About commit email addresses […] If you'd like to keep your personal email address pri...
Root cause ModuleNotFoundError is a kind of ImportError. It occurs when Python code tries to use an absolute import, but can't find the named module - just as the name suggests. (Failed relative i...
Use --add/-a to add a folder code <file> -n -a <folder>
I am writing some scripts that operate on emails in Maildir format. A lot of things are easy in this format, but the filenames are absolutely incomprehensible. For example, one script moves mails ...
The following expression should capture the {dp|gp}/$ID part: https://www\.amazon\.com/([gd]p/[A-z0-9]{10}) A quick explanation: the \. are there to match periods only (otherwise it would ma...
When you do: cd /some/path code . VS Code opens with that location shown in the "Explorer" sidebar. However, the state of the file tree and the currently open files will be the same as what wa...
VS Code supports regex search, but the search/replace UI is just a tiny dialog box. It's okay if you know regex well and the expression is not complex, but when trying to apply complicated expressi...
It's an unfortunate analogy. Apart from being confusing, it does indeed assume some basic electronics knowledge. In electronics a short circuit (or the common jargon "a short") does not necessarily...
You can use the carriage return control character "\r" to return to the beginning of the line and overwrite text. When using the print function you additionally have to make sure not to write the ...
The solution proposed by the other answer works, but there's a corner case. If the last message is shorter than the previous one, you might not get what you want. Example: print("this is some text...
<set> does seem to be a bit finicky for this case, doesn't it? You can use <animateTransform> if you set the values attribute on it instead of the to attribute, like this: <animate...
I have a few different projects that rely on open source technology that I wish to make modifications to (say, to add key features for business or personal use) that will vary between upstreamable ...
Background This is inspired to some extent by https://software.codidact.com/posts/289597 . I'm trying to provide a large amount of content (gradually!) that novices (mainly to Python) will find u...
As the author, this is my defense. Design and modeling are on-topic The site topicality documentation explicitly includes "Software design, architecture, or modeling" as on topic. There doesn't s...
This has now been indirectly fixed for all Codidact communities by removing the minimum character requirement altogether. See Is there a reason for preventing user profile content being less than 3...
I just noticed this question about data structures in the Q&A. Although algorithms and data structures are often (part of) a solution to a problem when writing software, this question is const...
Frame challenge, the "bubbles" aren't useless First off, I'll challenge the premise of the question: the "merge bubbles" are not useless, because they represent meaningful development history. In ...
Well, ain't this fun hehe Turns out I failed to see .reader launches its own job, which resulted in multiple coroutines contending for the zip stream, each trying to write an entry... 🤦 The solut...
You can try to break up the query into CTEs, and then see if any of the individual CTEs are unusually slow. I am guessing the query is not just one select, but probably has subqueries, window func...
Possible justifications It may make sense to use a mutable default argument in the following situations: For simplicity Consider for example an argument that should be some kind of mapping, wher...
Working with dbt version 2 I'm trying to set up source checks but I'm running into an issue where the column names I'm setting tests for have dashes (e.g. my_table.some-field-with-dash). I current...
