If you remove the align="left" then it works fine. My best guess is that you put those in because you didn't want the image in the text flow, affecting the vertical positioning on the text. The ea...
You can use the pathlib standard module with __file__ to make things simple. from pathlib import Path scriptFolder = Path(__file__).parent with open(scriptFolder / 'data.txt') as file: dat...
I have a Python script that needs to access some data (or configuration) file in its very own folder. For example, say script.py does something like this: with open('data.txt') as file: data ...
Consider the following code: #include <stdio.h> int main() { int a = 5; int b; ++*(&b + 1); printf("%d\n", a); return 0; } The output is as expected: 6 ...
Consider this code example: def example(param=[]): param.append('value') print(param) When example is repeatedly called with an existing list, it repeatedly appends to the list, as ...
Background Many Python programs now recommend installing with pipx, and there is a sense that you shouldn't install with pip anymore, you should use tools like pipx. Main Question However, what ...
Well, to start, it is not an alternative to pip. It's built on top of pip and exclusively deals with applications. pip is more of a development tool, while pipx is aimed at end-users (who may also ...
While other JVM languages, such as Groovy, Kotlin and Scala have Python-like import aliasing, Java does not. It's not possible to 're-name' imports, however, when you call a class from a package, ...
With the --delete option of git-push: $ git push <remote-name> --delete <branch-name> For example: $ git push origin --delete my-branch
There's no point. It just causes unnecessary clutter and confusion. The correct way is to configure a manual way for triggering the CI/CD pipeline. In most systems there should be an API endpoint ...
First of all, let's understand why your regex didn't work. The first part is \w+\.\s, which is "one or more alpha-numeric characters" (\w+), followed by a dot and a space (\.\s). If the regex was ...
In Bash, IFS is an internal variable and it stands for "Internal Field Separator" <- according to this link, it "determines how Bash recognizes fields, or word boundaries, when it interprets cha...
As you have worded it, for most open source project, particularly small ones, I would say "yes", it is "wrong" to demand features. Or rather, it's extremely rude. Most of the time open source soft...
I think these kinds of questions are fine, but I am just one person. open source product I have been using appears to be poorly-documented is an extremely common problem. I have actually seen the p...
SIGSEGV is defined in the C header signal.h. To generate the signal, it should be sufficient to just do raise(SIGSEGV);. As far as I know, this is well-defined behavior.
It is possible to create a new formatter class by subclassing string.Formatter class and then to use it like myformatter.format("{foo:customformat}", foo=foo). It's not super-convenient though, and...
To whether the tag is useful: no. It's useful for tagging people ("this person does frontend and backend") but not questions. I don't see the point of adding "do not use": just delete the tag, whi...
Speaking personally (not as a Codidact admin): One low-key way to promote this community there is to cite it in answers. If you see a question there that you want to answer, see if it's here too....
This can depend on both your flavor of SQL and your personal preference - I've seen a number of schemes in use. For MySQL, the most common scheme I've seen used (and the scheme that my editor uses ...
As we start on building a new community here together, we're bound to find some sticking points. Those might be bugs, new features you need, things you need support with... whatever they are, the C...
When I want to print a number or a string, I can use f-strings (Python >= 3.6) or str.format, and I can use just the variable between braces, or use format specifiers. Ex: num, text = 10, 'abc' ...
I think a branch is a set of commits and a commit is a set of deltas, so my concern is that merging feature-B to master would reflect only the work that is unique to feature-B Not quite: a bra...
You can, in a sense, do I believe even better than using Stack Overflow's hosted, proprietary service. You can run your very own instance of the Codidact software (that is, QPixel) locally, on a s...
This is a rather vague question, but I'm trying to solve a specific problem and I'm inexperienced in most of the potential solutions, so please forgive the inherent ambiguity. I have access to a d...
If you've poked around the mod tools here a bit, you may have noticed that QPixel has an impersonation feature, live on prod. It's there for much the same reasons: so that developers can test and i...
