Question Should we allow answers generated by ChatGPT?
We got our first (mostly) ChatGPT answer in our community. Also, a question includes an adapted ChatGPT code that does not seem to do the job. StackOverflow has already banned ChatGPT answers and I am wondering how we should proceed in this case. From my perspective, we should also ban ChatGPT...

Comment Post #287565 The cited answer suggests `is_single_file` flag. This should not be specified by the user, but based on media type (1 for movies, 0 for applications etc.). As a side note, I am not confident that the answer covers the entire question.

Comment Post #287560 It would be useful to provide an example to better understand what are looking for. Just a couple of record values for each table would be enough. If `media` contains a lot of NULL values for some columns, one solution is to define another 1:1 table (uuid + those columns) and add a row there only ...

Comment Post #287551 A few/several thousand should be computed fast enough by "normal" (not involving more specialized hardware) math (i.e. using the CPU), that is solving those two equations mentioned in the other thread: computing a and b from your linear function f(x) = a*x + b.

Comment Post #287551 How many such points do you have? I guess the answer depends a lot if we are talking about thousands vs. millions.

Comment Post #287551 Not sure if I understood entirely your question, but it seems to boil down to a simple set of equations with two variables: The function is f(x) = a*x + b f(-1) = 0 => -a + b = 0 f(1) = 319 => a + b = 319 => b = 319 / 2, a = 319 / 2 Of course, this can be generalized to solve the equations...

Comment Post #287509 Any reason to avoid defining an "utility" function for it? It is something normal in virtually all programming languages because frameworks and libraries will miss some specific functionality we need.

Comment Post #287506 Never worked with Qt, but I am wondering if `setStyleSheet` sets the entire styling for the element instead of merging existing styling (maybe inherited from some global styling).

Comment Post #287498 I am not into 3d development, but I am wondering about the following: - how src/main/resources/textures.png actually looks? - shouldn't the picture file be in some vectorial format to properly be displayed?

Comment Post #287432 I am unfamiliar with Flutter, but I guess there must be some code to push the mutation (it seems like a JSON payload to me, is it a GraphQL query?). Not sure if that's relevant to the question, but it might be.

Question Implement translatable UI in a Single Page Application when working with ngRx
I am currently working on an Angular SPA that supports multiple languages and relies on ngRx for state management. Although the application state is handled by ngRx, the current language is stored in the database. The translated resources come from outside the store (resource files read using the...

Answer A: How can I provide additional information when raising an exception?
Python documentation suggests that you can simply add other parameters when raising the Exception and retrieve them using args: Code ```python try: raise Exception('spam', 'eggs') except Exception as inst: print(inst.args) # arguments stored in .args x, y = inst.args # unpack ar...

Comment Post #287300 EF is designed to track list changes (additions or removals) in DbSets only. It cannot know (or at least not in a predictable/performant way) that someone constructed some kind of list using dbset dereferenced values and then added/removed from that list.

Answer A: Datagrid in MVVM saves edits but not inserts
Entity Framework is able to save the changes by using a tracking mechanism (i.e. what is added, deleted, removed). I guess `repository.GetAllGoals()` implementation is something like `context.Goals` or `context.Set()`, so when you are constructing the `ObservableCollection` you actually get a lis...

Answer A: How to define Polly policies when working with Refit library in ASP.NET Core?
Refit allows such configuration out of the box bt using `AddRefitClient` (which resembles the well-known AddHttpClient). This indeed requires explicit configuration for the HttpClient, but the configuration and usage will be simpler: Refit and resilience configuration ```c# private static ISer...

Comment Post #287272 I guess one way to understand what happens is to get your hands on the application (crash) logs and let us know if there is some relevant information there. [This](https://developer.android.com/games/optimize/crash) might be a good start.
