It's the both I'm interested in. How do I do an AND search on words in files in folders (recursively) with grep? I'm using git bash in windows, so either a cygwin or win10... (more) |

Generating nested repeating values with JSON Generator Hi, I'm trying to use the JSON Generator to create data with nested repeating values. I want to create 100 objects with an ID, Name, and Code. The Id is incremented from 0 to 99, but the Code (prepended with 'code-') is incremented from 0-24 and then repeats (so row 25 will have an Id of 24 and a... (more) |

Thank you Peter, that solved it. I was confused over names, it seems. I expected 'Environment Variable' to be things like %path%, %java_home% and 'Configuration Parameter' to be a parameter that you pass to the configuration. :-) (more) |

My apologies, I wasn't entirely clear on that point. I meant that, under the OP's actual question, we add a small ChatGPT box with the question as posted to ChatGPT, and its answer. All the community-based responses will still be responses to the original, unedited (except for human purposes) quest... (more) |

A: Should we allow answers generated by ChatGPT? This may be a bit out of left-field, but I don't see anybody else taking the approach. Let's face it, ChatGPT and AI and all its quandaries are not going away. If we put a ban in, some clever clogs will work out a way to bypass, just for the sake of it. If we allow ChatGPT open slather, the qu... (more) |

Late to the party and data-presentation is fine, but I'd've suggested 'table-layout' if I'd been on time. Thinking from the PoV of someone scrolling through tags, I'd envisage charts and graphs go in 'data-presentation' rather than tables (tables are almost the 'plain-text' version of data-presentat...

Prolly just a typo, but you have BLOCKED_TYPE for both R.drawable.block and R.drawable.rejected.
Also, is `getItemViewType()` correct? It takes an int and returns that int?
- I don't think this solves the problem, however (more) |

I think you want to change your query to actually retrieve the merchant and product names. At present, (in terms of what you are interested in) it just retrieves the product ID number. Change the sql to something like select product_id from cart, product_name from products, merchant_name from merch... (more) |

Are general questions (hopefully resulting in comprehensive, 'canonical' answers) in scope Co I'm a database/desktop dev venturing into programming web apps using Angular and I've been informed 'functional reactive programming' is something I should be aware of. Some other site has a general question on FRP, but a) it is locked - off-topic but has historical significance, b) it is ove... (more) |

>>Bug 3 is about returning an ApplicationUserDTO: Understood, it was the SO answer that sent me down the Observable path. re: returning before being assigned, I figured that returning a subscribed observable was similar to `return await`ing in C#.

Many thanks @meriton
lol, ok so the code I had sort of took care of bugs #2 and #3 ie I had, a) wrapped the api call in the service in `if(!this.currentUser) { }` to save hitting the server and b) like you said, I was returning the `ApplicationUserDTO` type instead of any.
I'm still a bit confus... (more) |

Confused about whether you have the .jar file or not. If you don't, see Moshi's comment. If you do, in the project list, right-click libraries, select Add, then navigate to the jar file. (more) |
