HTTP is _not_ a text that may link to itself or other text. It's a protocol. While it's primary purpose is to request and transport HTML document text, HTTP is not the same as HTML. And it also deals with more than just requesting and transporting HTML document text. In the same sense as a passenger ... (more) |

Personally (the following is just my personal opinion, as worthless as it is), if there is a good A to a rather bad Q, i do _not_ downvote the A. I would downvote only the Q, and would not vote on the A. If however the A is exceptionally good and manages to infuse some meaning into a bad Q (as rare a... (more) |

I don't see anything wordy about "_Click on the 'Exit' item in the upper-left menu._" It's a simple and short sentence, following the structure "action on what where". Most words in this sentence are short, too (most of them just 4 letters or shorter). If that is too wordy for you and you are seeking... (more) |

I agree it's noise. But situations like these should be handled tactfully. Phrases like these are expressions of politeness (EoP), and removing them from a post could easily be perceived as rude by the original poster if they are unaware of the context/reason of removal. But why are you specifically ... (more) |

There is also another logical problem with your program (unrelated to the segfault, though). Hint: Compare what you _believe_ the code in the `while(i < max - min) { ... }` loop in your main function does with what it _actually_ does in reality... (more) |

(2/2) Is the JS code free of errors? Nothing about this is about dealing with Ruby so far. If you diagnose this, you will know how your JS `onclick` handler fails in the browser.

So your problem is the `onclick` handler not working as it should? If so, it has nothing to do with Ruby per se. Look at the HTML document generated by the Ruby-on-Rails backend. Check if the `onclick` handler has been correctly set up in the generated HTML document. Is the function assigned to the `... (more) |

By the way, you can self-answer your own question, if you like.

(2/2) If my (untested) belief is correct, then perhaps setting the values for `s` and `l` above the maximum value of `1.0` might still be accepted and stored by the `hsl(h,s,l)` function, but the out-of-range values might be clamped internally by the Nannou drawing functions to the actual allowed max...

I have no experience in Nannou. But the doc for the `hsl(h, s, l)` function (https://docs.rs/nannou/0.17.1/nannou/color/struct.Hsl.html) states that the `s` and `l` parameter values should be in the `0.0` to `1.0` range. You are using values that are far larger than the expected max. value of `1.0`. ... (more) |

That sounds a lot like a XY problem to me. RoR is a **server**-side framework. Therefore, ruby code itself is not running on the client, and itself is not able to "reach" into the client browser. Theoretically, what you would have to do is having some JS code in the browser send some fetch request to... (more) |

My comment was advice. Maybe unexpected, but still advice. If there is nothing more to it then it being a "simple" case, then choose either of the three.

Alright. My edit is pending in the review queue. I have added a little bit about access control which is significantly different between cookies and web storage.

But that you already said that with "_client-only_". If it is about being a front-end tool, what has that to do with SSL? How is mentioning SSL even relevant in this context?

Yeah, but how did you go from this to "_no support for SSL_"? Again, the web storage APIs are not concerned about transport, so it is a mystery to me what you meant by writing "_no support for SSL_". (more) |

Wait... are you saying that a page using the web storage APIs cannot access some web resource via HTTPS? Your explanation almost makes it sound so.

@Alexei, i would personally favor to have only "libxml2" and "libxml1" tags instead of "libxml", if possible. While libxml2 is mostly compatible with ye'olde libxml, development packages of the two differ in some aspects that could be relevant for some specific question(s). (more) |

Read the csv file line-wise. The StreamReader has a method for doing that. That will make it easier to iterate over the records/lines.

Well, then you might have to go with `iframe`.

I am not exactly sure whether you are asking for a PHP-based solution or something not relying on PHP specifically, as you didn't tag your question as `php` but you did mention your project being in PHP.

@#53078, the libc functions dealing with `char*`/`char[]` are called strcmp, strlen, etc... Note the "str". The related header file is called `string.h`.

To ameliorate such effects of uncontrolled disturbing runtime effects and get "better" numbers without resorting to a full benchmark suite, run each individual test at least a couple hundred/thousand times and average the execution time.

Your numbers don't appear to be "clean". Look at the "Unbalanced in the beginning" test. How could "is_balanced(s)" take more than 1 sec? Of course, it did. But this is not the performance characteristic of the alogrithm but rather some "disturbance" in your runtime environment. In a clean runtime en... (more) |

Just a rough idea from the top of my head (untested, unverified, might be bogus). You could perhaps use the "patternProperties" keyword, with which you would specify a regex pattern against which property names are being matched. Since in your case the property names in "jobs" and "people" don't matt... (more) |

You have defined `dir="rtl"` in your `<form>` element. Note how the comboboxes in the background of your screenshot are mirrored compared to LTR.

To clarify, if you would suffer from a left-to-right vs. right-to-left issue, you would have a problem with the direction of the text flow, where for example "אבחון קידום אתרים" (text direction being RTL/right-to-left) would be incorrectly displayed as "םירתא םודיק ןוחבא" (text direction being LTR/le...

Uh, the text in your screenshot is right-to-left, no?

Side note: The `type` variable looks exceptionally fishy to me. Where is it set to a non-null value?

"Am I missing something?" Who knows. Use a step debugger and step through your code. This should make it easier to encircle the code line that causes the seg fault.

It feels like the mysql server isn't running.
