I am developing an Angular application that consumes an external REST API. I am using OpenAPI generator (TypeScript template) to generate the API clients. The happy flow is the following: - call a method ... (more) |

Cache data using Redis Cache in an ASP.NET Core 3.1 project This is an unanswered code review request of mine from Code Review Stack Exchange. Overview I have developed a small ASP.NET Core 3.1 Web API that provides information that is rarely changed (several times a day) but often read ( 10 K / day). For me, it is a good opportunity to toy with Redi... (more) |

Measure ASP.NET Core 3.1 Web API action execution times This is basically an unanswered code review request of mine from CodeReview Stack Exchange. I want to be able to log as accurately as possible, the time spent by a certain Web API action in an ASP.NET Core 3.1 Web API. I found out this very old question dealing with a similar issue in ASP.NET. ... (more) |

Initially, I thought this was not an interesting question, but after digging a little I realized how hard it seems to be answerable for MySQL. (more) |

A: How to calculate how much data is stored in a MySQL column? The reference indicated by jcsahnwaldt indeed specifies the space required by VARCHAR columns, namely (L = string length): > L + 1 bytes if column values require 0 − 255 bytes, L + 2 bytes if values may require more than 255 bytes However, I think this is true only for non-Unicode characters...

Anti-pattern for alias names: a, b, c, d ... I have seen this being used in a project and I find it mind-blowing since I try to connect the alias to the table based on its starting char. (more) |

@r~~ Based on feedback provided by you and Lundin I have already refined the scope, so this issue is pretty covered. Not having such a policy makes it almost impossible to provide a reference to anyone asking about why a question is considered offtopic. Not having a policy is like a very small scale ... (more) |

@Lundin I agree and I have changed the scope page to include this topic with some restrictions (small enough and attempt to understand it). Despite a similar policy on SO, this type of questions are actually allowed ([example](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18984775/what-does-this-code-do) ). (more) |

@r~~ I understand your concern, but having a "not yet done" policy is better than having none at all. This is not set in stone and can evolve along with the community. I think this is an important part of the community because any new member has no easy way to understand what they are allowed to ask ... (more) |

I have edited this post and a few others to better emphasize the references to the SE sites (Stack Overflow or Power User). Please try to use similar references (the source name and the author are the most important elements) for future posts. Thanks for your contributions. (more) |

@Lundin Indeed it took quite much to have an official on-topic (and off-topic) section. Based on your input, now we have it [here](https://software.codidact.com/help/on-topic). (more) |

A: How will you balance demanding high quality questions with maximising the number of users? One aspect that helps with having a good balance is to have an enough number of users that help newbies ask good (or at least decent) questions. This is something reachable within rather small communities. I have seen this being put in practice by Politics.SE where there is a more effort put into ... (more) |

While I a am little bit familiar with Stack Overflow moderation (I have seen their queues and explanations provided by moderators), it would be very useful if you could provide a some references related to what moderation actually means, some guidelines to help the newbies to moderation. Thanks. (more) |

A: What is the rationale of having Cascade as a DeleteAction in EntityFramework.Core? After toying a little more with Delete actions for referentials, I think the rational of having the CASCADE DELETE as default is the following: - having to DELETE the children before the parent is not actually trivial (clearing the navigation properties collections first leads to a save error, rem...

| Question | — |
What is the rationale of having Cascade as a DeleteAction in EntityFramework.Core? I have noticed some time ago that Entity Framework assumes a CASCADE behaviour (implicit value, if not specified) for referential constraints (FKs) when deleting items. This means that by default, if a parent record is removed, all descendants are removed. I remember that back in the days, whe... (more) |

A: Should we have a Code Review Section / category? I would definitely allow code review questions (requests) as they are an important part of any professional software developer. A special category might make sense, although a designated special tag (code-review) might be enough if it also results in a special highlight for at least for the tag. (more) |
