I have experience working with ngrx (an Angular similar approach) and I have noticed that your reducer functions mutate de state. AFAIK, the reducer functions should be pure and one typically returns the new state (clone initial state + make changes + return).
For example `

Transferring such content is a great idea. I am wondering if it makes sense to split in Q&As for each specific error/case.
Pros:
- an answer is more to the point and does not mix somewhat unrelated errors/issues
- easier to link to the answer in case of duplicate questions
Cons:
- requires... (more) |

Under normal circumstances, simply defining a branch would do the job (I am using a different branch anyway).
It is the actual switch time between the branches that's killing me. Switching from the upgrade branch to the "business as usual" branch means running `npm install` and `npm start` which ... (more) |

According to [this thread](https://discuss.python.org/t/how-to-specify-extra-index-in-a-pyproject-toml-for-pip-and-pip-tools/23592), `pip config set global.extra-index-url` seems to be the way to globally set extra sources for the packages.

@Wicket I am glad that you joined the tag editing party.

I also agree with the idea of VBA-related questions being on-topic and the formula-related or other Excel usage ones as off-topic, unless they are linked to the usage of certain Excel generation libraries (e.g. ClosedXML, EPPlus) which might have affected formulas and/or other features. (more) |

Ref. to "The test data is created ad-hoc and not managed." - this can be improved

From your post, it is not clear how the test data is being stored and managed. Normally, it is expected for test data to be adjusted (not completely regenerated) when the models / tables schema is changed.
For example, when a column is dropped adjust the data seed / SQL scripts to not include tha... (more) |

I have just tried this in Windows 10 (version 20H2, build 19042) -> cmd -> pick some directory -> `code .` and a single VS Code is opening. The VS Code version is 1.79.0 in my case.
This is working regardless of whether VS Code is already opened or not.

Can you print out (echo?) your queries and include them in the post, so that it is clear what is being executed? This should help with identifying the issue.

This is an interesting approach. I can't tell for Java, but for .NET (ASP.NET Core mostly) using an in-memory provider is not fashionable anymore due to various limitations and quirks.

Indeed, my solution is a poor man's solution to configuration management, and using a dedicated solution such as Consul is better. I have chosen this following my more ops-inclined colleagues' advice, but it is not set in stone and we can transition to the modern way of doing it. Thanks. (more) |

AFAIK, "interface" is virtually the same thing in C# and Java. Not sure about other languages that seem to use the concept (e.g. ADA - https://www.adaic.org/resources/add_content/standards/05rat/html/Rat-2-4.html ).

The cited answer suggests `is_single_file` flag. This should not be specified by the user, but based on media type (1 for movies, 0 for applications etc.).

It would be useful to provide an example to better understand what are looking for. Just a couple of record values for each table would be enough.

A few/several thousand should be computed fast enough by "normal" (not involving more specialized hardware) math (i.e. using the CPU), that is solving those two equations mentioned in the other thread: computing a and b from your linear function f(x) = a*x + b. (more) |

| Comment | Post #287551 |
Not sure if I understood entirely your question, but it seems to boil down to a simple set of equations with two variables:
The function is f(x) = a*x + b
f(-1) = 0 => -a + b = 0
f(1) = 319 => a + b = 319
=> b = 319 / 2, a = 319 / 2
Of course, this can be generalized to solve the equations... (more) |
