@#8176 The C programmers of libxml [seem to be fine with it](http://www.xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-parser.html).
[As do](https://freetype.org/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-basic_types.html) the C programmers of the FreeType library.

@#53177, not true; that documentation page has examples of doing so, as does the [`FormData` constructor documentation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FormData/FormData).

Considered *by many* very bad practice, sure. This is a popular, [but not universally-held](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/750178/is-it-a-good-idea-to-typedef-pointers) opinion. (Whether you're more of a C person or a C++ person seems to be somewhat correlated to whether you think typedef'd poin... (more) |

A: Data structure implementation with Linked lists. ```c struct listNode{ char data; struct listNode nextPtr }; ``` Computer, when I tell you that any region of memory is a struct called `listNode`, that means that the region of memory contains a `char`, which I will read from and write to using the name `data`. The region of memory also... (more) |

A: How to submit form data with Ajax? See the first example in this section: ```js const form = new FormData(document.getElementById('login-form')); fetch('/login', { method: 'POST', body: form }); ``` To adapt this example to your code, you'll need to change the URL being provided to `fetch` from `'/login'` to the URL of...

Ah, single sign-on: when Facebook is down, every other web app should be too!

I wouldn't recommend using `display: table-row` to achieve this. It might have the desired effect, but it's more likely to impede understanding of your CSS in the future if you have to change it. `table-row` is one of the [layout-internal display types](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display/#layout-sp...

A: Are there any downsides related to using Maybe or Optional monads instead of nulls? In my opinion, all of the downsides boil down to two objections: It isn't idiomatic (in C# and VB.NET) It's slightly less performant The fact that it isn't idiomatic means that, as you noted, it'll often need to be translated at API boundaries. It also means that your coding style might vary ... (more) |

A: How to append HTML to the DOM with JavaScript? Use `fetch()` to request the HTML file from the server. Call `.text()` on the `Response` object you get from the `fetch` in order to get the HTML contents as a string. You can then insert the string into a DOM node with `.insertAdjacentHTML()` (which is recommended over anything involving `.innerHTML... (more) |

@Lundin, I'm not sure I understand you. ‘The way SO does it:’ Are you making the argument that the dog-piling happens regardless of whether the comments are public, and that making them private can't make that worse? I don't see how anything on SE is evidence of the second part of that claim, if so. ... (more) |

A: How are we supposed to give feedback for poor questions if such comments are deleted? I remember reading @meriton's comments on that question and thinking they were good feedback; if I hadn't seen them there, I would have written something similar. This is also an argument against making question feedback private: which is more likely to make people feel defensive, receiving public... (more) |

A: What is a typeless programming language? ‘This language doesn't have types’ and ‘This language only has one type’ are English sentences that communicate the same underlying concept: a typeless language doesn't have a way to distinguish categories of values from each other, either statically (before running the program) or dynamically (while...

On reread, my previous comment maybe comes off like I'm trying to provoke. What I'm trying to do is suggest that you improve this question by sharing more of what you've looked at and why that doesn't satisfy you, or, if you haven't looked at much, by doing that and then coming back with a more speci...

A: How can software track [1] how many subscribers to subreddits, [2] if subreddit is private, [3] if submissions are restricted? It's entirely possible that there's some no-code product being developed out there that supports connecting to Reddit's API, so that you could collect the information you want without writing an actual program. But you're on the Software Development Codidact, so I'm going to assume that you're her... (more) |

Excel is very probably a poor choice for this task. Can you add some more detail about why you want this, so that we could recommend a better approach?
