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.

If it's so large that you must link the repo rather than reposting code, I think it is too large to reasonably expect anyone to review. Bored people will read a couple dozen lines, and point out a ...
I was able to fix this by deleting the ~/.config/VSCode/Workspaces folder. To figure this out, I: Backed up my VSCode folder to /var/tmp Deleted ~/.config/VSCode, after this VS Code stopped ...
When I open VS Code inside a project dir, it reopens all the tabs that were open last time, and re-expands all the folders that were unfolded last time. I find this annoying. Usually, when I close...
I like using NATURAL JOIN in Snowflake, because I find it more elegant than explicit join clauses. However, it appears that the natural join behaves similar to an inner join, in that null values o...
Is there a way to add support for "move symbol" in Python code for VS Codium? PyCharm can do this, but I am looking for a VSC solution. PyLance can do this, but PyLance itself is closed source, a...
robots.txt amounts to politely asking people to please not crawl you, so I wouldn't expect it to do much. At the same time, you might as well ask politely, to avoid giving the impression that you ...
I have git repo where the .git is deleted. I didn't realize it until after I made some changes to the code. I want to re-create the .git by cloning. However I don't want it to touch the files that...
This is not feasible as described. To learn LLMs, you can look at models like 3B WizardLM. These are open source and should be possible to just train and run as is. The build may be very complex, ...
% is one of the oldest Python syntaxes for interpolating strings. It basically works like: template_string % data_tuple In fact, you can literally do that: >>> s = "%d %d" >>&g...
For future readers - based on input from Michael, and some research that was spurred by that improved version, this is the final config I arrived at: # https://gnutls.org/manual/html_node/certtool...
A global variable or object is in scope everywhere. That means it's possible to modify it from any part of your program. Imagine a mature program, made up of thousands of lines of code and dozens ...
Nothing in particular will go wrong. global is a valid and supported keyword, the code will work. There is no problem for the computer. The problem is for you. When something is global, it could b...
If I ignore the example and answer the title generally: You would put the common logic into a third piece of software that becomes the dependency of both domains. For example, let's say you are wr...
Is there a way to easily insert today's date when editing a file in VS Code?
Best I could do was: cd /foo/bar && code --new-window . && code baz.txt The cd is not necessary but makes the command cleaner. I would still like to know if there's a cleaner wa...
One way to do it is to simply clone the repo elsewhere and move the .git file to the current one.
I use git submodule foreach git pull to update my submodules. There's quite a few and it appears that foreach is updating them one by one, instead of in parallel. How can I do it in parallel?
SQL is as good as it gets, generally speaking. The best engine for a small project is SQLite. If you need more, the next step is Postgres. Postgres is very capable and it's unlikely that you'll nee...
This is solved in 2 steps: Find rows matching remove conditions Do anti-left-join on the the composite key (Die, Cell) To filter out the rows: # Read in the data df = pd.read_csv("data.csv...
I largely agree with existing answers, but wanted to add this: In many cases, there is no clear answer one way or the other. Take the program wc which counts characters and lines. Should the inter...
Some good options to consider: SQL create table as statements. This way you can define multiple tables all in one file, that can be copy/pasted easily. It also matches a very common thing: SQL e...
"Demanding features" falls under an umbrella called "design". Design work doesn't show up directly in the commits (unless you maintain a design doc) but it is work nonetheless. Suggesting features ...
SQL is the right tool for this job. You say the data is already in a database, probably a SQL database You don't have to deal with moving the data out of the database and "into a programming la...
This is called a shallow clone and it's supported by a git-clone argument: git clone --depth 5
Amazon product URLs are often very long, but on experimentation it is revealed that the following pattern is sufficient: https://www.amazon.com/{dp|gp}/$ID ID is a 10-char string, which I'm gue...
