As written, this question is quite unclear and very general as it asks about concepts that are used in many programming languages. We expect questions to be more focused. (more) |

(2 / 2) Also, a question about best practices without "best" criteria being provided or it appears that it cannot be answered using references or expertise consensus. By its own it is offtopic, but a good answer is possible (makes some assumptions, most likely requiring a question edit to make the qu... (more) |

(1 / 2) I think there is a gray area here. As an example, a question being off-topic because "asking for implementing a certain feature (or homework). You should include your (partially working) trials in the post" can receive a good answer. This does not make the answer "off-topic". (more) |

Some changes might be done using CSS &:before or &:after, but they are very limited. Example: https://stackoverflow.com/a/34938065/2780791 (more) |

I have checked the code and your idea worked as expected. I have also included the code that showed me meaningful target frameworks for most of my assemblies. Indeed some Microsoft.* assemblies are targeting 3.0 or 3.1. I am wondering if .NET Standard 2.0 as a target is an issue here (as opposed to 2... (more) |

I tried changing the title to a more suggestive one. Since this is the first time I ever heard about Nannou, I hope I managed to catch the nature of the issue in the post. (more) |

It might be relevant to mention the application type. I guess you are not using a Single Application Page with client-side routing and each stage means a full page refresh, right? (server-side rendering) (more) |

@#53305 I have renamed libxml to libxml2 and I will let libxml1 be created should anyone feels a need for it. (more) |

| Comment | Post #282044 |
I am trying to write the usage information about the libxml tag and it is not clear if libxml or libxml2 should be used. A quick search suggests libxml2 much more often used and this also seems to be the main tag on SO (libxml is a synonym). (more) |

For testing, I guess [Cucumber](https://cucumber.io/) or similar would be a good choice since the rules are written in a way compatible with the examples provided in the post. (more) |

| Comment | Post #282558 |
Most if not all examples seem to be general purpose languages, rather than fit to manage business rules. When I saw the question, I thought about Cucumber, but I do not have any experience with it and I cannot understand if it can be used to process business rules or only to check them (for testing)....

In order to receive better feedback, you need to provide your attempt at computing the student with the top mark. Currently, your code is just parsing the CSV and displaying the data in the console. (more) |

Yes. I was thinking about framework or library features. I have clarified that. 10x. (more) |

Yes, I have already performed several tag-merges so far and this is one of those cases. However, it happened once that I renamed a tag and it did not work. If I remember correctly, several months ago it was actually possible to rename a tag to an existing name, thus getting duplicate tag names. (more) |

| Comment | Post #282381 |
That's a good idea. Having clear names like ArchivedOrder is OK as I can still map to something that makes sense in DB like arc.Order, as I want to define a separate schema for these tables. 10x. (more) |

| Comment | Post #282332 |
Yes, I have edited my question to include more information. Basically, the more DbSets with similar names, the more the chance to use the wrong one, especially given the fact that the archive related ones will be (almost) identical to the "operational" ones. I am inclined towards the EF approach, but... (more) |

@Istiak Yes, Code Review requires code that works ("does the job"), but requires review (improvements, patterns, performance, readability etc.). Currently, the provided code does not work as expected, so it is a good fit here (on main Q&A). (more) |

@Lundin I think tags now have case simply because by default string are input with a case (textboxes allow this by default and I guess this also happens in the database). I don't remember to have ever seen any upper-case letter for SO tags and I think we should always use lowercase in the tag names. (more) |

I have fixed the tag name. Thanks. (more) |

Now everything makes sense. Btw - page refreshes are typically noticeable (some flicker). Is this happening in your case? Thanks for posting an answer. (more) |

Not an expert on the matter, but coming from .NET development area, native JS date/time manipulation looks like a mess. I would definitely consider using a library, if possible: https://terodox.tech/migrating-away-from-momentjs-part1/ (more) |

Both. However, I think the tooltips are the quick win because they are shorter and more accessible (I expect that the tooltips are read more often than a particular help page). This would hopefully help the users understand why their questions/answers are getting downvotes. (more) |

@Lundin Please check the "what types of questions can I ask here" on its [help page](https://software.codidact.com/help/on-topic). Of course, it is not set in stone, so yes, it is still open for suggestions. Please use a separate meta question to suggest improvements for it. (more) |

Welcome to Codidact. Unfortunately, the question is not on-topic unless you include a reference to the algorithm used by tradingview (btw - the link is broken for me) to compute the exponential moving average (EMA) indicator. (more) |

This is an interesting question. I am thinking of something like Redux which deals with state management. It would be useful if you can provide a simple example like 3 classes with 3 data types to understand the nature of your application (e.g. is the data related to the state or is it something else...

However, I think that we could minimize conflict by replacing some comments with downvoting (e.g. for no research or effort) or flagging (e.g. for seriously wrong content such as homework dumps). I do not see how endless debates in comments help with removing bad content. (more) |

Yes, I agree that snark is very hard to define. Also, agree that SO policy of being way too welcoming is not beneficial for the advanced users (e.g. in the last two years, I could not get any serious question being answered unless I placed a bounty). (more) |

Thank you for providing this answer. I will soon ask a question on meta about how to add comments (what is OK and what is not OK) so that the community can reach a consensus about this topic. Anyway, I agree that being digressive is sometimes necessary. (more) |

@meriton However, your second comment mostly deals with the poster's asking style rather than the post itself. I hope that I am clearer now.

@meriton This is not what I have said. What I have said is that feedback (regardless of being negative or not) should be constructive.

@artaxerxe If you don't need to compute this too often and the data volume is pretty low (<100K records, also depends on the frequency), you can fetch all the required data in the application layer and implement the algorithm there. Languages such as Java or C# are better equipped for recursivity, t... (more) |

@JDB The N/A case is typically approached by having the form field not required. So, you either enter a valid URL or nothing at all. This leads to consistent results (either "" or a valid URL), as people might write things like N/A, - , none etc. (more) |
