I have created a Configuration Parameter in TC's 'Parameters' area: That can work, but from the rest of the question I think that what you actually want to do here is create an Environment Var...
robots.txt amounts to politely asking people to please not crawl you, so I wouldn't expect it to do much. At the same time, you might as well ask politely, to avoid giving the impression that you ...
+ is string concatenation and only be applied by strings. Non-string operands like numbers or class instances must be converted to strings using str(). That's all there really is to it, except Pyth...
I struggle to think of any use cases for merging from. Why was the merge command designed this way? The model here is that many developers on the same project are using branches to develop fea...
Suppose I have some variables like: >>> count = 8 >>> status = 'off' I want to combine them with some hard-coded text, to get a single string like 'I have 8 cans of Spam®; b...
I'm looking at the behaviour of Chrome and my test framework and trying to understand what the correct behaviour should be before raising an issue/ticket on one or the other (or revisiting how my t...
In the example.xsd file I have an import to an external xsd file that looks like this: <schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://test.example.com" ...
Some new tag "software practices" just popped up, no wiki. What's the purpose of this tag and how is it useful? What exactly in software development is not "software practices"? Seems quite superfl...
I am writing a spoof of the fs module; the actual storage mechanism is not the the filesystem but rather a database. Overall, however, the api will function exactly like fs. So far my code is compa...
On a Linux server, if you leave the .git folder unprotected in the public_html folder, its possible that someone could download the folder and then gain access to your files. There are two ways I h...
If you can, have the repository locally and/or in a Git server. Use rsync to deploy updates to public_html. If the repository still needs to live in that same server, same applies (rsync, just loca...
What are my options here? Do I need to switch the module I'm using to access the db? Do I need to write C code? Or is there a really clever technique to directly solve this problem, using only nod...
This is possible in SQL Server using the built-in @@ROWCOUNT variable. Something like this DECLARE @rows INT = 0; -- INSERT ... SET @rows = @rows + @@ROWCOUNT; -- UPDATE ... SET @rows = @rows + @...
I've just lowered the reputation requirement for both Edit and Edit Tag from 250 to 200. If folks here want it to be lower -- young communities have different needs, after all -- please make a met...
Okay, I'll be the contrarian. For this case, yes, I think a regex-based approach can be used to validate these properties. This approach will not guarantee that the provided input is valid HTML; in...
I think your edited post merits a new answer! You're right that you can make some sort of connection between addition, concatenation, and logical ‘and’—these are all operators that can be considere...
svn cleanup --vacuum-pristines can be used to clean up the pristine copies that might take a lot of space (version 1.10+). In Windows, TortoiseSVN client has the option Vacuum pristine copies to ge...
Note: this is an aggregate of the answer provided for this question. I want to get the LINQ equivalent of the following from SQL: SELECT .. FROM entity1 e1 JOIN entity2 e2 ON e1.field1 = e2.fie...
The quickest way is to make an equal join on two anonymous objects: var result = from x in entity join y in entity2 on new { x.field1, x.field2 } equals new { y.field1, y.field2 } Ano...
Can regex be used to check if input conforms to a very strict subset of HTML? The theoretical answer is Yes. The Javascript regex language is more than powerful enough to parse a recursive gramm...
One rather complicated way to get what you want (may be extended to multiple calls of statements and/or procedures) is through usage of MySQL Row-Based Binary Logs as explained here. This allows fo...
Cross posted to Meta: https://meta.codidact.com/questions/278198 If I try to provide a parent to a tag, it crashes with 500. Error Id = 6bd06f30-539d-4b88-8743-eca32a8465cd Tag to edit = htt...
Almost every table in my DB has triggers that fire on INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE and write the changes to a separate read only DB. This makes it possible to track changes and undo things well after the...
I hear the walk-before-we-run argument. I think this would be a good thing to try once we reach running speed, though. Personally, I don't like self-answered questions; I think they're an awkward f...
Having had the dubious honor of experiencing the closing process from the perspective of a question author, it seems to me that closing does not adequately communicate why the question was closed, ...
