@#64277 I'm also advocating a highly curated database of content, just one that is positively curated instead of negatively curated. Flag "good" content and allow people to access it through an interface that only shows the "good" content if they so desire. This creates the possibility of multiple su... (more) |

IMO this is a specific, concrete problem suitable for a Q&A on the main site. Discussions is for opinion-based wisdom. (more) |

A: Can Swashbuckle.AspNetCore generate exclusiveMinimum validation? This can be achieved with a schema filter. For this proof of concept, I based the filter on a custom attribute: ```C# [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property)] public class GreaterThanAttribute(double exclusiveMinimum) : Attribute { public double ExclusiveMinimum { get; } = exclusiveMinimum...

| Question | — |
Can Swashbuckle.AspNetCore generate exclusiveMinimum validation? Is there a way to make Swashbuckle.AspNetCore generate a Swagger `exclusiveMinimum` range validation for a model property? There doesn't seem to be any way to do this with the attributes recognized by `OpenApiSchemaExtensions.ApplyValidationAttributes`. Searching the code for "exclusiveMinimum" do... (more) |

Maybe a parallel question about other approaches. In this question I'm only looking for a solution involving the Android API or developer tools. (more) |

Is it possible to obtain the unlock code from an unlocked Android device via the Android API or the developer command line tools? I have an Android 10 device where the OS is unlocked but the bootloader is not. I can't obtain the unlock code through the normal channels because of bureaucratic incompetence. Given that the device is already unlocked, it possible to obtain the unlock code via the Android API or the developer com... (more) |

It's one thing to have followed the guidelines before 2017 and not changed. It's another thing to suddenly adopt the old guidelines after they were abolished. Sometime around 2022, my credit union not only started enforcing password complexity requirements, but forced me to change my username so it a... (more) |

Thanks for the code. The decompiler in VS was leading me in circles. But this doesn't quite resolve my question. I think everything but the last catch and rethrow are what Eric Lippert called ["boneheaded exceptions"](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/ericlippert/vexing-exceptions). If ...

Does Socket.AcceptAsync throw SocketException for any transient reason? I'm writing exception handling around a call to `Socket.AcceptAsync`) in a loop. One of the exceptions it's documented to throw is `SocketException`, but the documentation is vague: >An error occurred when attempting to access the socket. I want to know if `AcceptAsync` throws `SocketException`... (more) |

The idea behind a rainbow table is that an incorrect hash for one password might be the correct hash for another password, so you save all your failed attempts in a giant database indexed by hash value. But this is only helpful if all the passwords are hashed with the same hash key. If every password... (more) |

My answer applies even more to internal APIs because it's your own time and money that you're saving. (more) |

Rainbow tables become useless if every password is hashed with its own random hash. (more) |

A: Are "strong passwords" at all meaningful? NIST Special Publication 800-63 says that "strong" password requirements are not only useless but counterproductive. They recommend only a minimum length requirement and a small blacklist of common passwords. >Length and complexity requirements beyond those recommended here significantly increase ... (more) |

A: Best practices for company internal Swagger Docs in production Disabling Swagger docs is a terrible idea even for a public API. Swagger saves the consumer an enormous amount of development and testing. We're talking weeks or months of work done in seconds, with far less opportunity for human error than a hand-coded client. Swagger is so valuable that if you don'... (more) |

A: CS8032 analyzer warnings in empty EF Core project in Rider I resolved this by installing Microsoft's `dotnet-sdk-8.0` instead of Ubuntu's `dotnet-sdk-6.0`. Here's a loose summary of Microsoft's instructions. 1. Remove existing dotnet packages: ``` sudo apt remove 'dotnet' 'aspnet' 'netstandard' ``` 2. Deprioritize the Ubuntu packages by creating a f...

CS8032 analyzer warnings in empty EF Core project in Rider I'm evaluating JetBrains Rider 2023.3 on Linux and almost immediately ran into a compiler warning that I don't understand. Attempting to isolate it, I created a new solution containing a .NET 6 class library project. The project has only one explicit dependency, `Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore` 7.0.14... (more) |

I don't believe it has been or can be "proven scientifically." The studies reveal correlations. Understanding why certain things correlate with bugs is more important than mindlessly avoiding those things. For example, sometimes testing floats for equality is exactly the right thing to do.Thinking pr... (more) |

As the converse of point (A) about `IList<T>` not being generally representative, don't *write* an interface for a type that isn't widely used and implemented solely so you can return an interface instead of a concrete type. YAGNI applies. (more) |

I'm not talking about "cleverness" in the sense recognized as a Bad Thing by experienced developers. Quite the opposite. I'm talking about things like recognizing that "cleverness" is bad. This kind of wisdom only comes from experience. Unless something has changed since I was in school, they don't e... (more) |

A: How can we grow this community? Emphasize and expand content that competitors fail at or deliberately exclude.
