How to deeply clone an array in Angular / TypeScript? I have an array that I need to clone in Angular / Typescript. That is, any change done on an element from the cloned array should not affect the content of the initial array. How can I achieve this? (more) |

Using nested paths vs. flat ones for API resources This is based on a code review discussion that I had with a colleague about the way I have designed the resources paths for an ASP.NET Core controller that is currently consumed only internally (by a SPA). The paths were flattened (e.g. GET /api/productreview/{reviewId}) and my colleague argued th... (more) |

@#53919 Indeed, I have also noticed that SO managed to get more and more users, but there are simply not enough folks to answer them. Before Codidact, in order to get answers for most of the questions I had to rely on bounties. Now I have Codidact :)
This is also shown in the answer rate graph fr... (more) |

Can I set a memory limit for the .NET Core garbage collector to collect objects more aggressively? I have an ASP.NET Core 5 web application that provides functionality that involves file upload + rather large processing (memory consumption mainly). After each processing (with success or not) the memory could be reclaimed. I have a stress test the endpoint with large files and checked the w3wp.e... (more) |

Would a userscript that defines a hotkey to hide the element be OK? Somethink like:
```
window.addEventListener("the_key", setupHideElement, false);
function setupHideElement(key) {
// locate and hide element here
}
``` (more) |

@#8176 It is similar to that (did not know it exists, but it is a very nice thing). However, I think it is easier to have a default text for a question directly as a question body. I guess this is the main reason why GitHub uses this method: it helps the user not to forget to include important inform... (more) |

A: Tracking what users are searching in a content management system Server-side solution If you can customize the server-side search functionality, you could add some logging information there. The advantages in this case are: - store the data in a useful format and avoid parsing general-purpose logs - you can also store some metadata related to the found resu... (more) |

@#54706 I guess you are talking about [this](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/280058). I do not remember seeing them actually used though. I guess it requires explicit activation at the community level. (more) |

@#54706 Yes, I would not advertise it now. However, I think it makes sense to tackle this somehow before the numbers run high and include it in future site promotion. Professionals tend to dislike messy questions and an important fraction of newbies posts low-quality posts. Without a separation like ... (more) |

Question templates for guidance I am wondering if it makes sense to define a template for questions. This would act as a guideline rather than a strict template to be followed. I have seen this being used for GitHub issues and I think it would help virtually all users to tick some points when asking most of the software developm... (more) |

@#54706 I have approved your edit as it is clearly better than the initial post (no useless code provided). However, it still sounds like "do my homework for me" as opposed to asking a more targeted question (as suggested in another comment thread). (more) |

I do not know Python, but it support [dictionaries](https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/dictionary). You can construct a dictionary for the second table : Name -> { Description, Amount}. You iterate through the first table row by row and perform lookups in the constructed dictionary. This s... (more) |

Can you include in the question the actual problem you have in the code? Is the replacement working as expected? If it does, consider [adding a review](https://software.codidact.com/posts/new/1/44) instead. If it does not work as expected, specify what is wrong (e.g. wrong string after replacement or...

Debouncing is meant to reduce strain on the server and its period can be tweaked (latency vs. number of issued requests). This can be coupled with cancellation to play nice with the server and inform about the obsolete requests. An example using Angular can be seen [here](https://alligator.io/angular... (more) |

Dealing with GETs with long query strings in ASP.NET Core One of the recent business requirements is to be able to search through a list of entities using a bunch of filters. Most of these filters allow multiple values and the user might theoretically provide more than 100 selected filter values (some of the filters are even implemented as tree views due to... (more) |
