I am building an Project called ‘Air Route Optimizer’

Summary The Air Route Optimizer project utilizes Dijkstra’s algorithm to find the shortest path between 50+ locations. Initially, a standard list was used to find the minimum distance node, resulting in an execution time of X. However, after researching, it was discovered that using heapq can significantly improve efficiency. This article will explore the time … Read more

CSS subgrid items not flush with parent grid items

The provided code demonstrates a custom implementation using TokenizedDirectRouteProvider and RouteCollectionExtensions. However, there are potential issues that can arise from this implementation, such as … Read more

Add nullability check for out variable that isn’t properly annotated

Summary Key takeaway: The core problem is a mismatch between runtime semantics and compile-time nullability flow analysis. A “Try” pattern method that sets an out parameter to null on failure fails to provide the compiler with the necessary annotations (like NotNullWhen(false)) to understand that the success path guarantees a non-null value. This results in defensive … Read more

How would I preform a selective deep copy in Java?

Summary Performing a selective deep copy in Java can be challenging, especially when dealing with classes from external libraries that cannot be modified directly. The goal is to copy specific fields from one class to another without copying all fields. This can be achieved using reflection or other libraries that provide deep copying functionality with … Read more

SwiftUI Toolbar appearance not updating when bound property changes

Summary A developer reported that a SwiftUI toolbar button’s tint color failed to update when the underlying data model changed, despite other parts of the UI updating correctly. The core issue was a misunderstanding of SwiftUI’s data dependency tracking: computed properties are not automatically observed by SwiftUI, causing the view to miss updates when only … Read more
