Welcome to Software Development on Codidact!

Will you help us build our independent community of developers helping developers? We're small and trying to grow. We welcome questions about all aspects of software development, from design to code to QA and more. Got questions? Got answers? Got code you'd like someone to review? Please join us.

Comment Post #289887 Can you provide more context information that makes this question more about Software Development (e.g. page being slowed down by a script you own) rather than Power User (some website that has a slow page)?

Comment Post #289844 Ref. to "I would like to have my code separated while working on it, but would like my users to just import "MyLibrary" and have all the important stuff together there." Is it supposed to be a convenience for the library consumer? I am asking because both Visual Studio and AFAIK Rider can automati...

Comment Post #289829 You can have a local Git branch that has been pushed (the question suggests that a local branch is the same as an unpushed one). [This article](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-delete-a-git-branch-both-locally-and-remotely/) provides a nice explanation about removing a local branch. This c...

Comment Post #289741 Ref. to "a big cache of things-each-user-can-see". In your case, it is reasonable to pre-compute the user access to some entities, if these are rarely changed (which most likely happens). I have seen this done in an application and it can work decently. I would recommend trying to do this for 2-3 ...

Answer A: Alternatives to `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` for queries that won't complete
Note: I have limited experience with PostgreSQL, but extensive experience working with SQL Server, so not everything below might apply to PostgreSQL. > I have a large and complex PostgreSQL query that I would like to make faster. (..) When run, it does not complete in any reasonable amount of t...

Comment Post #289691 As I agree that Software Development should welcome questions of type, would it make sense to tag them using `[computer-science]` (for questions related to the more theoretical part of programming) or similar? This would also help in the future, should we decide to create a special category for them....

Comment Post #289625 Is the tensorflow-graph-mode added tag related to https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/intro_to_graphs? Also, it sounds very narrow, I am not sure if we should have a tag about this.

Comment Post #285541 I stumbled across this topic after one year and realized other resources are indicating to actually mocking the cache, [including the author](https://github.com/rgvlee/LazyCache.Testing). I had completely forgotten about this Q&A, but it appeared in one of my Google searches.

Comment Post #289539 It would be helpful to provide more context (where is the non-working code placed? Is it inside a controller?). These [controller-related](https://docs.phalcon.io/5.0/en/controllers#request---response) docs for 5.0 might help to understand how to get the request reference.

Comment Post #289429 Ref. to "I didn't even consider that Codidact allows case-sensitive tags until very recently." - If you write an existing tag using a different case, Codidact will not create a new tag, but use the existing one (i.e. case insensitive search and match). Ref. to the `char` vs `CHAR` example, I think...

Answer A: Tag creation/deletion criteria for Software Development?
Yes, but with some notes I think this a good idea, but we will need to provide more details and agree on some details. > 1. A tag must be named appropriately, considering Tag naming guidelines. I have mixed feelings about using uppercase in the tag names. I am inclined to switch to using th...

Answer A: Why is git merge from rather than to?
Another reason could be to allow to perform the merge without auto commit and no fast-forward: ```bash git merge thebranch --no-commit --no-ff ``` This allows reviewing the merged changes before they are committed.

Answer A: On self-answered questions, is it inappropriate to mark my own answer "Works for me" immediately?
I don't think it is inappropriate for someone to mark their own answer "Works for me" on self-answered questions, but it feels a little bit redundant since the answer is expected to work for the poster.

Comment Post #289250 The only answer provided to the referenced SO question suggests that disabling the element that currently has the focus is most likely undefined and various user agents might treat it differently.

Question Should we disallow ChatGPT-User crawler (and others) from scraping Software Codidact?
Stack Overflow has recently announced OverflowAI and I think this video summarises pretty well this. The main drawback is that the users are less incentivized to put effort into answering questions and have this effort being fed into SO's LLM. I am wondering if it makes sense to start blocking kno...

Comment Post #289121 Ref. to " I don't like to type a long URL software.codidact.com every time to view the front page." - this should not be an issue with modern browsers which (by default) store the URL history and use it to provide URL autocompletion.
