Welcome to Software Development on Codidact!
Will you help us build our independent community of developers helping developers? We're small and trying to grow. We welcome questions about all aspects of software development, from design to code to QA and more. Got questions? Got answers? Got code you'd like someone to review? Please join us.

This is absolutely undefined behavior. The C standard doesn't say anything about stacks or how they should behave or how local variables should be allocated on them. The word "stack" doesn't even ...
If you've committed, then the commit is in the git repo regardless. All git reset does is change what commit the HEAD references. If you find the hash corresponding to the commit you'd like HEAD to...
Well, to start, it is not an alternative to pip. It's built on top of pip and exclusively deals with applications. pip is more of a development tool, while pipx is aimed at end-users (who may also ...
Short answer: No, it's not dangerous. Short of bugs in the implementation or monkey-patching, there's no reason it would or should allow executing of anything other than the JSON parsing code. Thi...
From simple subtyping concerns, you want the arguments of your methods to be as abstract/imprecise as possible while still allowing you to efficiently accomplish your goals. This allows your method...
As you have worded it, for most open source project, particularly small ones, I would say "yes", it is "wrong" to demand features. Or rather, it's extremely rude. Most of the time open source soft...
The Python Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) is a mutex in the primary Python implementation (CPython) that is acquired whenever Python (byte)code is executing. This means within a single (OS) process ...
tl;dr Just use a POST. There's likely literally no reason not to in your situation. REST is not a standard. Being RESTful in and of itself is not a virtue. I strongly suspect that your current...
In your situation, the most obvious thing to do is use a for loop over the Iterable or the Iterable.forEach extension method depending on your preference, and directly put floats into the FloatBuff...
Your question is a bit ambiguous. Usually when one talks about something being "completely abstract", one means the details of the representation are opaque. This is the sense of "abstract" in "abs...
(This answer became more ORM v. "direct" SQL. If you're very narrowly focused on just stored procedures, then it's not super important to me that the logic be packaged up in stored procedures. That...
You are correct in your analysis (though I would not call new_b a "parameter" but a captured variable). What you want is for the closure (anonymous function) to take responsibility for new_b and n...
Your first diagram illustrates a pattern that doesn't really make sense and most likely doesn't reflect what you're actually doing. Specifically, it illustrates a pattern where the feature branch n...
tl;dr If you don't have a reason otherwise, you should use get. More precisely, if you will be done with the future, you should use get. You should use wait only if there is some separation between...
The point of VCL is to allow you to work with SIMD operations explicitly. OpenMP simd is more or less just a way to provide hints to the auto-vectorization the compiler is doing, so to some degree ...
It depends on why you have a large switch statement. I'm going to assume it's because you have a large enum. If not, then you probably have some complicated logic, and you should endeavor to break ...
One way of specifying what you want is that you want the equivalence classes of the equivalence relation generated by saying that pairs (a, b) and (x, y) are equal when either a = x or b = y. The f...
There are two issues here. A performance problem and a correctness problem. The approach you suggest seems like it will help mitigate the performance problem while doing nothing for the correctness...
This is more or less equivalent to a long used testing technique that I've commonly heard referred to as gold filing. The benefit of it is that it is very cheap to do, and it can catch even minor c...
This is somewhat of a non-answer because I also think the answer is mostly "no". I'll split kinds of triggers into three categories. 1) Those that only touch the affected rows, 2) those that addit...
This is mostly an addition to r~~'s answer which I mostly agree with. This elaborates on the "non-idiomatic" part a bit. Modern Java code doesn't have a problem using Optional. Why? Because Option...
To start, Angular is a Single-Page Application (SPA) framework. This means your whole "site" is served from a single web page. Any apparent navigation within that site is just (Angular's) JavaScrip...
First a meta note. Code golf isn't a great way to learn a language. It explicitly optimizes for something that generally isn't valuable (fewer bytes of source code) typically at the expense of aspe...
I assume the built-in definition you're referring to is pmat. That illustrates how to solve your problem near the bottom. The idea is simply if σ is a permutation of length N and A is an array of l...
Based on the source code which delegates to this implementation among others, base.diff((x, n)) means to compute the n-th derivative of base with respect to x. Any arguments to diff which aren't tu...
