A: What's the correct way to merge a branch and its dependent branch back to master? > I think a branch is a set of commits Well, technically no, it's not. But first things first. DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) Personally, Git became much more easier to understand after I've read things like this. The "whoa" moment was when it compares Git to a DAG (Directed Acyclic Grap...

I'm guessing that `feature/null-rows-VER-74021-VER-75002` is branch A and `feature/ct-comparisons-VER-75425` is branch B, and you want to merge both to master, right? (more) |

If I understood correctly, just merging B is enough, as B was branched from A (thus, B "contains" all A commits, as there were no further commits in A). Can you add the output of `git log --graph --format="%ad %h [%p] %d"`, just to confirm how your repo history is? (more) |

With HTML, you can't. You could use another script language, but I don't know of any that is supported by all browsers (at least not widely supported like JavaScript is) (more) |

@#8046 I saw that the post is working now, but the OP user is not deleted. Was the user restored? I'm just curious to know what happened. Anyway, thanks for fixing it!

Error 500 in one specific post (the rest of the site is fine) I've got a HTTP Error 500 when trying to access this post. Here's the quote error ID's: `ef4f6ec1-8d0f-4be3-9553-36e01b5f01c4` and `bbeb9bf9-2c58-43b1-be05-c9e914bb80bf`. I've browsed to another posts and pages and all of them are working fine. It seems that only that specific post causes the... (more) |

`while (min < max)` - this is an infinite loop, because both `min` and `max` never change their values anywhere in the loop. Thus, `i` ends up accessing some position out of the array's bounds, which usually causes a segfault - I didn't test the code to see if there are more problems, but at a first ... (more) |

If I understood correctly, **maybe** what you actually need is a Static Site Generator: https://snipcart.com/blog/choose-best-static-site-generator (I use Jekyll for my personal blog, BTW).

Perhaps you should edit and clarify the question. At least for me, I'm failing to see what the actual problem is. Why can't you use PHP (as you confirmed you're already using) as some `include`'s will do the job, and why limiting the number of lines is such a serious issue/requirement (so "serious" t... (more) |

I'm afraid you're focusing on the wrong issues. 80 lines is not large, and nesting is good to make things easy and convenient for the dev team: it makes the code clearer and easier to understand and maintain (on the other hand, keeping everything in one non-nested line just for the sake of having few...

If we're meant to be pedantic/technically accurate, we'd never call it "string", but if you call it that way, people - at least anyone familiar with the language - will usually know that you actually mean "*a contiguous sequence of chars terminated by the null character (`\0`)*" (regardless of how it...

@Istiak Actually, it's a little bit more complicated than that. A pointer to some type `T` is, let's say, "interchangeable" with an array of `T` (actually, the pointer points to the array's first element). In C, a string is actually an array of chars (terminated by `\0`), so a `char *` (a pointer to... (more) |

A: Accessibility standard/s for multilined <input type="text"> fields The standard for multi-line text input is to use a `textarea`. Don't use `input type="text"`, it won't work. I'm not sure why you don't want to use a `textarea`, but after reading this answer, I hope you'll understand why an `input` is not the correct solution. Definitions MDN defines `input ... (more) |

`input type="text"` is single line by definition. If you want multiline input, use a `textarea` - unless there's a good reason to not use it (and I don't see - and can't imagine - any reason for that) (more) |

@elgonzo There's still the challenge of code-golfing the code (make it as small as possible). But as I said, I'm not the best one to suggest anything about that, so it's "left as an exercise to the reader (aka Derrick)" :-)

A: Where did my proper divisor sum program went wrong? When you do `x=y=z=[]`, you're making `x`, `y` and `z` point to the same list. Example: ```python x=y=z=[] add element to x x.append(1) add element to y y.append(2) but x, y and z all point to the same list print(z) # [1, 2] ``` So the first thing to fix is this, set a different list to...

@elgonzo AFAIK, lists in Python can't be preallocated. You can create one with N elements, and then use those already-created spaces. I've tested here, but that didn't make the code much faster.

And the `timeit` module already takes care of most "disturbances", and does the tests as clean as possible, running each test lots of times and doing some other stuff that I admit I don't fully know (but I've read some docs mentioning some things it does to eliminate any disturbances). Anyway, I incr... (more) |

@elgonzo The "unbalanced in the beginning" took `1.2465003237593919e-05` seconds - note the scientific notation, with "e-05" in the end, which actually means `0.0000124...` seconds. (more) |

A: Detecting balanced parentheses in Python Instead of replacing the brackets, you could do just one loop, and keep a stack with the opening brackets. Every time you find a closing bracket, check if it corresponds to the stack top: if it's not, the string is invalid, else, pop the opening bracket and proceed to the next character. Do it unt...

A: How can I emulate regular expression's branch reset in Java? 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]+(?=\\d+\\W+)|[123]+(?=[a-z]+\\W+))"); Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher("ae123. 111abc!!"); w...

A: What does the "\s" shorthand match? The complete set of characters matched by the `\s` shorthand varies according to the language/API/tool/engine you're using. In addition to that, there might be configurations that change this behaviour. In a general way, `\s` - at least in the engines that I've seen - always include the following... (more) |

What does the "\s" shorthand match? I've seen some regular expressions (regex) using `\s` when they want to match a space, but I noticed that it also matches line breaks. Example: the regex `[a-z]\s[0-9]` (lowercase ASCII letter, followed by `\s`, followed by a digit) matches both `a 1` and ```none b 2 ``` Because `\s` matc... (more) |
