Last year, I started working on a language I named SuperCode but then decided BMPL (Builder's Multi-Purpose Language) as the final name. The language would be written using C and up until now, the ...
Well, actually I didn't use SqlAdapter to work with DB since I prefer using ORM or write everything by myself (without DataSet, DataTable, SqlAdapter, etc) but I still can give some advices. Here,...
Just to have a differing viewpoint represented. Addressing questions and answers The stated reason for stripping politese Somewhere Else (which I largely agree with) is that while posts are creat...
Your pointer function is uninitialized. From some documentation pages for scanf at https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/scanf.3.html : s Matches a sequence of non-white-space characters; the...
As you're using userscripts, I'm assuming this code is supposed to run in a browser. Hence, you could download the scripts and add its contents to the page's DOM (by using a script element). For t...
I wouldn't. Not unless you intend to keep developing on every branch independently! Presumably you're not doing that. In that case, I think it makes your intent clearer to just use a tag to mark t...
I've seen that recently two requests to add syntax highlight to some languages were deferred (this and this). According to the status-deferred tag description: "the requested feature will not be i...
While I tend to agree with @Alexei that reading from the standard input is quite a common issue I also think that console.readline tag is too narrow and therefore it shouldn't exists. On the other...
Proposal: Can Include A link to a chat room related to the question or answer. Even if tangentially. I've always found SO to be too dry. Sure, pleasantries are as helpful in a question o...
Currently, Java 16 is the latest version, and there's no support to branch reset yet. But one - still far from ideal - alternative is to use lookarounds: Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("([aeiou...
You've got an inefficiency in your code, as you always do replacements 3/2 times the length of the string. That is unnecessarily expensive. By instead testing in each iteration whether the length ...
What's the better way to store base64 in SQLite Database? I was thinking to put base64 as TEXT since base64 has lots of chars. CREATE TABLE name (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, image TEXT)...
Consider this code: while(arr[index] != 0) index++; vs while(arr[index] != 0) { index++; } Personally, I prefer the first. The fact that the braces are not needed makes them -- u...
I propose removing this from the off topic list System/network/server administration. I am not an expert, but I believe a lot of this has software implications. For example, a SQL AlwaysOn cluste...
Please no. I had a bad experience of SO's failed and cancelled "Documentation" project. I raised the same concerns on the Electronics site here. I'll quote that post: The worst that can happen is ...
I propose that the following is added as off-topic: Off-topic Questions with artificial requirements and no practical use, including code golf and code obfuscation. This also covers artificial hom...
I am cleaning up java code in vscode to make it more readable. When I format my document there are instances when vscode inserts new line character when I don't want it. Here I show 2 examples of w...
How much research effort is expected from the asker by the community? The kinds of research I expect varies with the question type. Before asking us ... about concepts or the meaning of wor...
I heard git pull is dangerous. Is it really dangerous? If so, why or how is it dangerous? Are there any flags that mitigate or remove the danger? What are the alternatives if it...
I have been using open-source software, and the open-source Community is great at maintaining such projects. But I have observed something in smaller open-source projects. Whenever I demand some f...
I haven't used Doxygen that much, but after checking the documentation and looking around online, it looks like the reason this might be happening is because the SHOW_USED_FILES setting which (if I...
Seconded. This looks accidental, since the height is set to 20em, but the line-height is set to 1.5em, resulting in 20/1.5 = 13 lines being displayed. I wonder what that line-height is for? I know ...
During my review of the posts and tags, I have seen the tools tags. It is very generic and I am sure if it is helpful. What do you think?
One thing to consider if you decide to store the CSS in version control is how to make sure that the CSS is always updated whenever the SASS is updated. (Of course this is true of the more general ...
I'm facing rsync full syncs every once upon a time, I think it's because DST, notice an hour of difference: $ ls -l tier2/VIDEO-2020-06-17-15-10-27.mp4 /Volumes/KINSTON2/dat/laptop_kinstones/tier2...
