A: How to create and manipulate (read/write) Excel (XLSX) documents with complex rules using general programming languages? All of these projects use Microsoft's OpenXML SDK for Office behind the scenes: 1. .NET (F#, C#) The F# Guide recommends NPOI, which also seems to be the most popular and most up-to-date, but there are others as well (ClosedXML, EPPlus). 2. Elixir + `elixlsx` seems to be only for manipula... (more) |

How to create and manipulate (read/write) Excel (XLSX) documents with complex rules using general programming languages? Our organization (blindness non-profit in California) is obligated to submit reports to grant organizations (e.g., Department of Rehabilitation) on a regular basis. Most of the time, this means exporting data from our case management system and copying it manually into an Excel template file containi... (more) |

A: What are the benefits of starting a Git repo with an empty commit? Quoting an answer from SO: > Perhaps there was an advantage years ago prior to version 1.17.12 which added the `--root` option to rebase. Nowadays though, I can't think of any reason to start with an empty commit for a new repository. > > However, there may still be some minor advantages when r... (more) |

What are the benefits of starting a Git repo with an empty commit? Found an article about starting a repo with an empty commit. Read the post a couple of times, but still don't understand the reasoning: 1. > ##### 1. `git log` and other commands blow up with terrifying error messages. > ##### 2. You can’t `git reset` back to that initial state. Based on... (more) |

A: What is the point of triggering CI/CD with an empty git commit? Based on the SO comments, this is not a good general practice, and I believe the point of the posts mentioned in the question is that + it can be done (but one probably shouldn't) + this can be used to test a CI/CD build service/system without having to add a contrived change. It seems that a ... (more) |

What is the point of triggering CI/CD with an empty git commit? I read posts (e.g., 1, 2, 3) that recommend triggering a CI build process by pushing an empty git commit. I don't understand how this is a good idea as the commit history will be peppered with meaningless entries, and they can't be removed without re-writing the hashes (e.g., `git rebase --intera...

How to programmatically click through a list of elements if one has to wait for a click to load a set of predefined new elements? I would like to download the old-time radio show I Love a Mystery from the OTRR website. I figured out how to construct the list of right URLs, ```javascript const urlStub = "https://otrr.org/OTRRLibrary/jukebox/"; copy(Array.from( document.getElementsByTagName('a')). map( a => `"$...

Your comment is so spot on: I didn't realize how misleading the word "program" would be, so one would naturally think of "software" or "application", when I'm talking about "federal / state program for non-profits to be able to provide services".
Thank you so much for pointing this out!

Never heard of it, but by the sound of it I would say yes:) Thank you also for your question regarding performance, because I should have foreseen how this would be an important aspect. The answer is that performance is not an important factor:
There are only a couple hundred clients a year, less... (more) |

Thank you for providing real-world examples!
The example in the question is indeed from an introductory book to logical database design (Database Design for Mere Mortals), and the author points out several times that some aspects may not be possible with a given RDBMS / not easy to implement.

> Does a table for program A have different columns from an analogous table for program B? Is it possible to make a reasonable design where creating a new program is as simple as inserting some rows?

> The structure of this question is kind of awkward. [..] What I think your actual question is is "what is a good software architecture for your problem".
You are right, and this is not a good question, but one that reflects my ignorance in this topic. Also, your suggestion is right, but spending ... (more) |
