Question Possible drawbacks for having duplicate local sources of the project tracking the same Git remote
Context I have started working on an Angular upgrade for a medium-sized project (from v. 10 to v. 15) and this is a rather long activity that is interrupted by other changes that need to be performed on the same project. I have created another branch for the upgrade, but switching back to anoth...

Answer A: How to move Rancher Desktop virtual disk file to another location?
It seems that the file can be moved if rancher data is exported unregistered from WSL and reimported in a new location. The process is very similar to the one used for Docker Desktop. Example for my case: - `wsl -l -v` to get the distro name: WSL distro list - `wsl --shutdown` - `wsl --e...

Question How to move Rancher Desktop virtual disk file to another location?
I am using Rancher Desktop as an alternative to Docker Desktop. After using docker for a while I have noticed that `C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Docker\wsl\data\ext4.vhdx` has grown quite a bit (20GB+) and it's taking a lot of space from the system drive space. I know that can I can "prune" it (rem...

Comment Post #288735 According to [this thread](https://discuss.python.org/t/how-to-specify-extra-index-in-a-pyproject-toml-for-pip-and-pip-tools/23592), `pip config set global.extra-index-url` seems to be the way to globally set extra sources for the packages.

Comment Post #288728 Until you asked this question, I did not pay attention to this aspect.

Comment Post #288572 @Wicket I am glad that you joined the tag editing party. From time to time I have noticed that tags behave strangely (I am putting the blame on some aggressive caching) by not being consistent between views after some additions/editing/merges are being made and sometimes being rolled back. It is ...

Comment Post #288576 I also agree with the idea of VBA-related questions being on-topic and the formula-related or other Excel usage ones as off-topic, unless they are linked to the usage of certain Excel generation libraries (e.g. ClosedXML, EPPlus) which might have affected formulas and/or other features.

Answer A: Should I delete my trivial, lack-of-research question?

Comment Post #288299 Ref. to "The test data is created ad-hoc and not managed." - this can be improved - test data scripts should be part of your project (i.e. in Git) - any breaking change in models (add/remove column) should also involve changing the test data. - aim for automatic running of scripts as part of you...

Comment Post #288299 From your post, it is not clear how the test data is being stored and managed. Normally, it is expected for test data to be adjusted (not completely regenerated) when the models / tables schema is changed. For example, when a column is dropped adjust the data seed / SQL scripts to not include tha...

Comment Post #288302 I have just tried this in Windows 10 (version 20H2, build 19042) -> cmd -> pick some directory -> `code .` and a single VS Code is opening. The VS Code version is 1.79.0 in my case. This is working regardless of whether VS Code is already opened or not. What OS are you using?

Question When is it OK for duplication of information between message header and payload in a distributed software application?
A friend is involved in rewriting a distributed software application and while discussing the architecture, we noticed that in many cases the messages had duplication between headers and payload. The headers mostly include metadata such as a correlation id, a phone number identifier, client ident...

Comment Post #288059 Can you print out (echo?) your queries and include them in the post, so that it is clear what is being executed? This should help with identifying the issue. Security tip: Try using [parameterized queries](https://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.prepare.php) to avoid SQL Injection.

Answer A: Updating the database reverses previous changes
I did not find the exact cause of your issue, but inserts should not be treated as updates. One way to do this is the following: ```c# static void InsertPost(Post post) { using var context = new BloggingContext(); context.Posts.Add(post); context.SaveChanges(); } var newPost =...

Comment Post #288042 I think this paragraph requires some clarification: "Unfortunately, the presence of this file will automatically kick off an npm install in Digital Ocean App Platform.

Comment Post #285937 This is an interesting approach. I can't tell for Java, but for .NET (ASP.NET Core mostly) using an in-memory provider is not fashionable anymore due to various limitations and quirks.

Comment Post #287994 I cannot check right now what happens by generating data in the database and actually run the code, but the fact that you are using entities across "database context boundaries" (e.g. blog is obtained as an entity from a disposed context and then used in other database contexts) is a red flag for me....
