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 mea...
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. git log and other commands blow up with terrifying ...
As far as I can tell, it is in part determined by the HTML spec's History API1, specifically the value of history.scrollRestoration. Quoting the HTML spec's scroll restoration mode paragraph: ...
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 exp...
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 the...
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, const urlStub = "https://otrr.org/OTRRLibrary/jukebo...
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 use...
Found this old article at the bottom of the search results to be the best explanation to date: (The longer version is here, SSL Handshake (Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 R...
First, a reminder to future self (the figure RFC 3986, Section 3. Syntax Components complemented with Section 3.2. Authority): The following are two example URIs and their component parts: ...
More specifically: Is there a dedicated docs page listing "properties" that are idiosyncratic to F# .fsproj project files? Why am I asking? Started learning F# a couple of days ago, but just now ...
box and unbox are operators documented in the F# Core API Reference; it tersely states that they box / unbox (respectively) a strongly typed value. box a returns value a "wrapped" in a .NET Sy...
The Null Values article in the F# Language Reference show an example that uses it, but it does not explain what it does exactly. You can use the following code to check if an arbitrary value is ...
What I would like to do: Set a cell value. Check with a program if cell values conform to data validation rules. I could extract all the information needed to create a validation function, b...
Based on what I know so far, there is no difference. Paket has been created more than 10 years ago to address (perceived?) shortcomings of NuGet. (Reading the .NET history made my head spin, and l...
Many older projects (i.e., older than 5 years) provide instructions to the Paket .NET dependency manager (e.g., Suave), so I started digging into it, got confused, then gave up for while because er...
For example, given a mergeErrors function where input is always a list of Error strings, let es = [ Error 1; Error 2; Error 3 ] let mergeErrors<'a> (errors: Result<'a,int> list) : R...
Found the example below in a book teaching logical database design, but I'm stuck on how one would implement this in PostreSQL: The diagram reflects the following business rule: An instructor...
Are any of the popular Excel .NET projects have a functionality similar to Apache POI's DataValidationEvaluator class?
For example, given this function head, this is the hint that is generated: let updateCell workbook sheetIndex rowIndex columnIndex value = // XSSFWorkbook -> int -> int -> int -> stri...
Just getting into F#, finally figured out how to add .NET packages to projects, but the way I managed to get it to work doesn't make sense. Once the package is installed (either with nuget or paket...
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 a...
I have little to no idea what happens after a client obtains the server's certificate. It has to make sure that it (somehow) valid, but how?
Having some trouble with giraffe-template on Mac M1, so decided to set up a Giraffe project manually. Started following the Doing it manually section of the Giraffe README, but got stuck right away...
I have to keep reminding myself that a Giraffe project plugs into the ASP.NET Core pipeline or is itself an ASP.NET Core application , so if I can't find answers to my questions in the Giraff...
Just found the How Can I Combine Two or More QuerySets in a Django View? article by James W. that perfectly answers my question (and just learned that a "Django model query" is called a QuerySet). ...
