@Istiak, i did a test, creating and writing a comment in it. Then i deleted the comment again. The comment thread **did** disappear.I did not find any option/possibility to bring it back.

Alright, test concluded. Deleting all comments in a thread should delete the thread itself. Therefore, i would like to suggest (just my 2c worth of personal opinion, ofc) to wait a day or two and see whether and how that user responds to your comment response. Perhaps they will respond positively. Or... (more) |

Ah, so you want to get that comment thread deleted then. My apologies, i failed to get that from your post.

(2/2) Anyways, i agree that that comment seems to be baseless, and a bit weird in my opinion. That said, perhaps that user just had a shit day, too much coffein or whatnot.

...or do we just have to take your word that your conjecture about those other 2 votes is the only possible plausible explanation? It doesn't matter what you believe.

Did you possibly misread/misheard "returning values by instance"? I feel like you confused the terms "instance" vs. "inheritance". Aside from this possible confusion, there is this website that gives an overview of the general meaning of the terms you are asking about. The name of that website: Wikip... (more) |

Me neither. The specification of a language could perhaps tell whether the terms "property" and "method" are defined wrt to that language.

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.

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? Following your argument, you could equally say "_no support for HTTP_" or "_no support for TCP/IP_" with the same relevance. I... (more) |

| Comment | Post #282583 |
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`.
