In addition to what Moshi already told you: Among web designers, W3Schools has a somewhat tainted reputation, because it often makes things simpler than they really are. In my experience, this lac...
Should be avoided secondary discussions or debates on controversial points (please ask a question on meta). Just when is a discussion secondary? I think r~~ used the term "digressive", wh...
Proposal: Can Include Helpful feedback I'd refrain from restricting the topic of feedback, because there are many possible topics: Clarifying the question Explaining why OP would be ...
The question https://software.codidact.com/posts/281517 is currently voted at -3. I wrote several comments to explain why, so the author can hopefully ask better questions in the future. This morn...
Is it worth using the Java Platform Module System introduced in Java 9 to structure application code? Given that the Java Platform Module System introduced in Java 9 doesn't manage dependency vers...
I understand data compression as making data structures nearer (if they are mere machine code without any abstract representation) or representing them in less and less abstract computer languages...
My first instinct would be to track both identities, using one for access control, and the other for audit purposes. For instance, rather than storing: User createdBy; you'd store User create...
You should know I am not a bot by now ;-)
Actually, TypeScript is perfectly able to type check the code you posted. Here's what the compiler thinks: const functionName = disable ? "disable" : "enable"; // inferred type: "disable" | "enabl...
As the comments in that thread mention, Captcha is a service, not mere software. The distinction is that Captcha are in an arms race with spammers, and must continually evolve to remain effective. ...
In HTML, style information is applied to elements; it can't be applied to individual characters in a text node. Therefore, if you want to style the * differently, it needs a dedicated element. You...
I am interested in a guideline to understand how dependencies are considered when building the healthcheck functionality for an API. Like any functionality, the implementation of this feature sho...
Consider the following code: public class OnlineShoppingService { @Transactional public void cancelOrder(String id) { if (shipmentRepository.findShipmentForOrder(id) != null) { ...
A login page is but the tip of the iceberg. For a login page to function, you need a way to store users and their passwords, verify passwords in a safe way, prevent the login form from being bypass...
I suspect this is an outdated practice: Prior to npm 3, npm did not keep track of resolved dependencies, and npm install would try to reconcile the existing with the declared dependencies. Since no...
Rather that doing git commit --amend --date= every time you commit, you can coalesce commits at merge time using git merge --squash. That said, for non-trivial topic branches, it is usually valuab...
Advantages of Mandatory Braces When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since every popular coding standard for java mandates the use of braces, and every popular code style checking tool enforces their...
Seconded. This looks accidental, since the height is set to 20em, but the line-height is set to 1.5em, resulting in 20/1.5 = 13 lines being displayed. I wonder what that line-height is for? I know ...
questions dealing with how to write software documentation This seems overly broad. I mean this would include Mark Bakers entire book, but technical writing has an established codidact community,...
questions about which tools, frameworks, or technologies to use, unless they are directly related to development (e.g. code, schema changes documentation tools) Don't understand. Frameworks or ...
questions about the system, network, or server administration Which system? I think it is clearer without "the": questions about system, network, or server administration
questions asking for implementing a certain feature (or homework). You should include your (partially working) trials in the post asking to explain what a certain code does. A great many questi...
questions about best practices as long as enough detail is provided to answer using external references or expertise consensus It's not a "detail" if it is essential, is it? Can we explicitly sta...
questions about software design, software architecture, or modeling questions related to software design/review - what item goes where when using a certain technology stack These seem redundant...
