I do not think we need this category, because we already allow such questions. Examples:
[Best practices in setting up a development & production environments](https://software.codidact.com/posts/285908)
[Why object-oriented instead of class-oriented?](https://software.codidact.com/posts/285720... (more) |

This is a great idea. Based on your proposal and the only answer + its comments, I have changed the section contents.
"What type of questions can I ask here?" has also become the first item in the Guidance category.
I will follow this Q&A and update the section if needed. (more) |

Using localstorage is a great idea.
Ref. to "the app might be closed before the idle state is reached, and that a closing app might no longer be able to communicate with the outside", I thought about this and that is why I have mentioned the
beforeunload event which allows to mark the tab/brows... (more) |

Allow question and answers textareas to be resizable Many questions and answers on Software might involve a lot of code that typically require more width and/or height to be displayed in a way that is easy to read. Why simply not enforce `resize: none` and allow the user to resize the textarea to their needs (if the browser allows it and they want t... (more) |

@#53280 I thought of using this for the following: evaluating SPA usage time (i.e. consider last activity + a time interval) or automatically saving some data after an idle period. (more) |

A: Preloading some data at application startup as fast as possible One way to do this is to launch a Task at application startup as soon as possible (the DI is configured). The only hard part is to make DI available in the prewarm functionality. The following implementation is based on this article. ```c# /// /// Credit: https://anduin.aiursoft.com/post/202... (more) |

| Question | — |
Preloading some data at application startup as fast as possible I am caching some very static information (changes once per day) in my ASP.NET Core application. This is normally done when needed ("lazy"). One such cache item is a 50K list of items that are taking less than 500ms when the application is deployed and about one second in the development environme... (more) |

What are the drawbacks of using data snapshot testing? Our team is finally focusing on writing more automatic testing and one of my ex-colleagues recommended to try out the Verify library. The tool does the following: - runs the test and compares the JSON serialization of the actual result with a JSON file named after the test name. The first run w... (more) |

@#53398 Yes, you are right. TransactionScopes should be avoided. The only valid case where I needed explicit transaction management (as opposed to context save changes one) was when the transaction performed both reads and delete on the same records (read -> archive -> remove) and EF could not figure...

So far, I found the following: - Idle Detection API - this seems to do most of the work for idle detection. However, it requires user permission - Detect ... (more) |

A: How to write database friendly code when using an ORM? Note: this is mostly based on personal experience rather than benchmarks. The examples would focus on using EF with SQL Server, but some points might apply to other ORMs and relational databases The provided references explain why ORM and relational databases are quite incompatible but do not prov...

| Question | — |
How to write database friendly code when using an ORM? There are a lot of articles and presentations that show little love for ORMs. This is mainly because some queries are so complex and heavy on the database that they lead to significant issues in production. After quickly reading the aforementioned article I understand that there are many incomp... (more) |

@#53305 Not familiar with how SonarQube actually works, but I guess it computes the cyclomatic complexity and complains about going beyond a certain threshold. So it ignores the actual instructions.
Ref. how to avoid I have never used anything beyond the simple mapping. And also in this case, I wo... (more) |

Measuring arithmetic overflow checking overhead in C# Overflow checking for integral-type arithmetic operations is disabled by default and it can be explicitly enabled by using using `checked` function or the `-checked` compiler switch. Since I mainly develop business applications where the main focus is correctness, I am wondering if globally switch... (more) |
