Improve the search mechanism to find answers to questions with specific tag I was searching for all of my answers in questions tagged with the `git` tag. So I used `tag:git user:53078 posttype:2` as the search terms, and it found zero posts. I removed the post type (`tag:git user:53078`), and it found only questions. The only way to find the answers was by removing... (more) |

Exactly.

A: How do I split a feature branch into two? The `rebase` solution proposed in the other answer is the most straightforward way (and the one I'd use as well). Just to provide an alternative, you can also use `cherry-pick`. First, let's create branch `feature-2` from `main`, and switch to it: ```bash git switch --create feature-2 m... (more) |

A: What are the criteria to define if a programming language is compiled or interpreted? First of all, let's recap two basic concepts: specification and implementation. The classic analogy is that a specification is like a cake recipe, and implementation is the actual cake. The spec only tells you what to do (it might say how some steps can be done, but it's not always the case). And... (more) |

What are the criteria to define if a programming language is compiled or interpreted? Often I hear people saying that some language is either compiled or interpreted. Examples: "Java is compiled" or "JavaScript is interpreted" and so on. What are the criteria to define languages as such? (more) |

A: Regex for simplifying Amazon product URLs Actually, an Amazon product URL can also include a product title and have extra params after the ASIN.

A: Python-compatible regex for Markdown tables For an arbitrary number of rows and columns, a single regex won't work. You'll need to loop through all cells, replacing them as they are found. Something like this: ```python import re markdown = """| Syntax | Description | | ----------- | ----------- | | Header | Title ... (more) |

A: Java generics, how to work around type erasure? I'm afraid there's no straighforward way to do that. Due to type erasure, we don't have enough information to create the array directly. Therefore, this information must be provided somehow. Alternative 1: `Class` object informed in the constructor You could force all instances of `ExampleC... (more) |

Implement a way to sort posts by recent comments, to make it easier to moderate them Rationale Today I flagged an answer that was clearly spam. Then I decided to check the spammer's profile to see if there were more. And indeed, I found a comment that was also spam. One detail that surprised me is that the comment was made 2 months ago, and nobody noticed. It was made in a ... (more) |

Have you considered using `tput` instead?
```bash
echo "$var$(tput setab 1)NOTE$(tput sgr0)"
```
Or, to make it clearer (IMO):
```bash
BG_RED=$(tput setab 1)
RESET=$(tput sgr0)
echo "$var${BG_RED}NOTE${RESET}"
```

If you dig into the code, you'll see that `PlainDate.from` calls another method, which calls another, and so on. In the end, it calls `Object.create`, which is a method that creates an instance without using the constructor. According to the [documentation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc... (more) |
