Best practice using search params as state

2 March 2026 @ 5:30 pm

I noticed when deriving state using Route.useSearch(), and updating state using Route.useNavigate, there is a delay when updating state. Is there guidance on how to do this optimally? So far I'm keeping state in a useState, and syncing state using a useEffect function useOptimisticTab() { const { tab } = Route.useSearch(); const navigate = Route.useNavigate(); const [optimisticTab, setOptimisticTab] = useState(tab); useEffect(() => { setOptimisticTab(tab); }, [tab]); const handleSetOptimisticTab = (value: TabOptions) => { setOptimisticTab(value); navigate({ search: (prev) => ({ ...prev, tab: value, }), }); }; return [optimisticTab, handleSetOptimisticTab] as const; }

How to set up documentation with MkDocs?

2 March 2026 @ 5:21 pm

I tried to set up MkDocs for a small local project using ChatGPT, but it failed. Here is what I have as folder structure: - mymodule/ | - __init__.py | - tester.py - docs/ | - docs/ | - mkdocs.yaml and that mkdocs.yml contains: site_name: Test Documentation theme: name: mkdocs plugins: - search - mkdocstrings: handlers: python: setup_commands: - "import sys, os; sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath('../mymodule'))" But it is not working when running mkdocs serve. How can this be fixed? I just want documentation of several files in that one folder mymodule.

class hierarchy hibernate mapping

2 March 2026 @ 5:18 pm

I'm creating the domain class mapping for the following SQL tables: CREATE TABLE org ( id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT uuidv7(), name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL ); CREATE TABLE org_entity ( id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT uuidv7(), name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, org_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES org(id) ); CREATE UNIQUE INDEX ui_org_entity ON org_entity (org_id, id); CREATE TABLE entity_field ( id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT uuidv7(), name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, org_id UUID NOT NULL, entity_id UUID NOT NULL, FOREIGN KEY (org_id, entity_id) REFERENCES org_entity(org_id, id) ); I try more. This is the last EntityField class with errors: @Entity @Table(name = "entity_field") @Getter @Setter @NoArgsConstructor @ToString(callSuper = true) public class EntityField extends BaseOrg { @ManyToOne(optional = false, fetch = FetchType.LAZY

Why are these random numbers printing in the terminal? Everything else seems to be working fine

2 March 2026 @ 5:16 pm

The code below checks if a give string is a palindrome or not. I am getting the intended output in the terminal but there is also an integer printing in between every line of output. I have played with setting the return type of the is_palindrome to different things like std::string but I can't seem to get the terminal to print the correct output without the numbers. Also, every time I run the code the numbers are different. Source Code: #include <iostream> #include <algorithm> // Define is_palindrome() here: bool is_palindrome(std::string text){ std::string rev = text; std::reverse(rev.begin(), rev.end()); if(text == rev){ std::cout << text << " is a palindrome!\n"; } else { std::cout << text << " is not a palindrome.\n"; } } int main() { std::cout << is_palindrome("madam") << "\n"; std::cout << is_palindrome("ada") << &quo

What does .NET DateTime Ticks represent when Kind is Unspecified?

2 March 2026 @ 4:57 pm

Take the following C# code: DateTime.TryParse("2025-05-03T02:10:36", out DateTime dateTime); Console.WriteLine(dateTime.Kind); Console.WriteLine(dateTime.Ticks); The value of Ticks is here 638818350360000000 and the value of Kind is "Unspecified". I get why Kind is not specified but I don't get how the system can determine a value for Ticks in this case. The docs say If the DateTime object has its Kind property set to Unspecified, its ticks represent the time elapsed time since 12:00:00 midnight, January 1, 0001 in the unknown time zone. I have not idea what that means. How can you specify the number of ticks since a certain point in time without knowing the

Animation bug on list when entering edit mode with swipe to delete disabled

2 March 2026 @ 1:59 pm

I'm trying to have an edit button on a list to be able to delete multiple items at the same time without the red delete controls at the start of each row. To remove the delete controls I use this .deleteDisabled(editMode?.wrappedValue.isEditing == true). But when I add this line the animation is strange when entering edit mode, it's like the list bounces. You can find an example code here: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var items = ["Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3", "Item 4", "Item 5"] @State private var selection: Set<String> = [] var body: some View { NavigationStack { List(selection: $selection) { ItemsList(items: $items) } .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarLeading) { EditButton() }

Using matplotlib to build report of survey responses, what is the most efficient way to tally likert scores?

2 March 2026 @ 3:18 am

I am building out functionality in an existing app for a user to upload an excel file to plot out responses for survey questions. There are 4 likert questions with 2 comment response question. The relevant data is organized as such: Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5 Q6 0 Occasionally  Agree  Agree comment comment Very Well 1 Frequently Agree  Agree NaN NaN Moderately 2 Frequently Agree  Agree NaN NaN Well 3 Frequently Agree  Neither Agree nor Disagree comment comment Moderately Currently, I do the following to build a list of all the questions, their listed responses, the 'type' of likert scale it is, and the amount each response is recorded per question. def read_responses(xl): responses = [] action = False data = pd.read_excel(xl) for name, values

Win32 C++ Generic function to set Cursor from either UI or any worker threads (SetCursor does not work from external threads)

2 March 2026 @ 12:38 am

I need to switch between Normal and Loading cursors. I see in my application that if I do // Start Waiting Cursor SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_WAIT)); // ... App Logic ... // Resume Normal Cursor when done SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW)); this works properly in direct UI-thread code, but does not work from the code of separate worker threads. To determine the Waiting cursor during certain conditions in worker threads I currently handle WM_SETCURSOR which checks global variables. case WM_SETCURSOR: if (LOWORD(lParam) == HTCLIENT /* Client area only*/ && threadCondition1 || threadCondition2 || threadCondition3) { SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_WAIT)); } else { // Default Arrow Cursor return DefWindowProc(hWnd, message, wParam, lParam); } Per Google this is because SetCursor in Win32 API ofte

How do I reduce the remaining health here to zero?

1 March 2026 @ 11:28 am

I haven't been able to figure out how to solve this problem. const healths = [{ 1: 100 }, { 2: 100 }, { 3: 100 }, { 4: 100 }, { 5: 100 }, { 6: 100 }]; healths.forEach((curr, i) => { // console.log(`${curr[i + 1]}`) const damage = Math.trunc(Math.random() * (12 - 4 + 1)) + 4; let remainingHealth = curr[i + 1] - damage; if (i < healths.length - 1) { console.log(`${i + 1}. player made a move, ${i + 2} knight's remaining health is ${remainingHealth}`) } else if (i === healths.length - 1) { console.log(`${i + 1}. player made a move, ${i - (healths.length - 2)} knight's remaining health is ${remainingHealth}`) } })
