Welcome to Software Development on Codidact!

Will you help us build our independent community of developers helping developers? We're small and trying to grow. We welcome questions about all aspects of software development, from design to code to QA and more. Got questions? Got answers? Got code you'd like someone to review? Please join us.

Comment Post #290330 Step 4 is correct, but I think the wording "actual location ... actual domain name" used here can lead to significant confusion.

Comment Post #289725 Have you tried pickle protocol 0? It's pretty ugly and I would choose json over it any day for readability, but it is human-readable text.

Comment Post #284078 This can be a tricky problem that is much harder than it appears. First off, what is the scope of your signing keys? How many are there? Is there a different one for each of your devices, or is there a single one for all? Can one customer's signed code run on another's IoT device? What is the value o...

Comment Post #278895 With full-feature IDEs becoming common-place you might think the argument for always-braces is weakened. I'm not so sure. However, the legendary [goto fail](https://www.imperialviolet.org/2014/02/22/applebug.html) bug still looms as a mammoth counterexample. One assumes that Apple's developers used a...

On stackoverflow a significant percentage of questions are from users who are not at all interested in the site's vision or rules, and will create a new account for each question they ask. stackoverflow and politics SE are so different I doubt the lesso...

Comment Post #278751 Note that this code can be read, but cannot be run without `MathExt.gcd()` and `LRUCache`. It is relatively easy to supply my own gcd function, but not so easy to supply an implementation for `LRUCache`.
