roadblocks | An isometric drag | Game Engine library

(New to rust, FYI!)

So - I've been trying to grok the concept of lifetimes in Rust. I've read the documentation, and read some blogs and SO posts on the topic. But still not quite getting it (hence, possibly a bad title to the question).

I've got a particular problem I'm trying to figure out, which I've boiled down to this small sample code (tried to make as close to a working sample as I could):

I am currently trying to get myself more familiar with sklearn, though I am still kind of a newbie to ML. While working through a couple of tutorials I stumbled across sklearn implementations of techniques I already did using pandas. Like tools for normalization, imputation of missing values etc.

My current workflow looked like this: Loading and preprocessing data using pandas, doing normalization, imputation etc with them ,mostly in a notebook. Then I export the csv-File to a cleaned version and do my ML work in seperate python-files on this cleaned and processed dataset. Is there anything wrong with this workflow?

I'd really like to here from some people that spent more time in the field than me on which there are any advantages/disadvantages to use pandas for preprocessing or using sklearn. Maybe you already saw some roadblocks I didn't?

I am currently displaying in a Listbox a column of a pandas DataFrame which contains the full path of some files I need to work on. Right now it all works fine because I am displaying the full path in the Listbox, so that in my on_select I get the full path as current_selection_text and I can work on this item at my will.

I've recently taken up trying to learn how to create iOS applications completely programatically. And due to this, one of the first roadblocks I've encountered is that translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints must usually be set to false in order to set constraints.

After doing some research, there are three things that I am pretty sure of.

1. AutoresizingMasks are how dynamic layouts (layouts that differ based on screen size/orientation) were achieved prior to the introduction of the auto-layout system.
2. AutoresizingMasks are a value that tell a view's superview how to resize it when the superview's bounds change.
3. translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints is a boolean value that when set to true (and is always defaulted to true for code-created UIViews), tells the UIKit framework to create constraints that replicate the behavior of the AutoresizingMask property within the auto-layout system.

What I don't understand is how exactly these constraints are implemented. Apple states in their documentation that "the system creates a set of constraints that duplicate the behavior specified by the view’s autoresizing mask. This also lets you modify the view’s size and location using the view’s frame, bounds, or center properties..."

This is the part that confuses me, and I'm not sure if it's just their wording or my misunderstanding of the topic. The AutoresizingMask is just a value, so it doesn't make sense to be able to create constraints off of it. Do they mean that the automatically generated constraints are actually based off the child view's frame (A.K.A. childView.topAnchor = superview.topAnchor)? and that the AutoresizingMask's value just determines which of these constraints based on the frame gets set?

For example: UIView with frame of (x:0, y:0, width:50, height:50) and AutoresizingMask of "FlexibleBottomMargin". Does UIKit just automatically create constraints that place the view where a frame-based layout would have, and then leave out certain constraints (in this case the bottom) to replicate the mask's behavior?

I'd like to backup a database in SSMS and restore it to a different server on a VM. I've exported dbs to bacpacs but keep hitting roadblocks like users having windows authentication or errors validating elements.

I've recently noticed that a dacpac with the extraAllTableData set to true might accomplish a similar thing. I know that bacpacs are tailored for Azure Sql Servers but are there any other differences between the two?

In every example I've seen, including the Microsoft ones here and here, the author's explain the improvements made by IHttpClientFactory over HttpClient and give examples of how to use it simply out-of-the-box or in Named form. But then they all seem to mention that utilizing the Typed form really is best for its structure, usability, and more. The reasons make sense for our use case.

Though like the links provided above, there isn't a single line of code instantiating, injecting, or using IHttpClientFactory in the involvement of creating a Typed HttpClient (or Service as a Client). You create the Typed Client:

I plan on creating a user config file that I will later parse in order to run some checks from Amazon Deequ. I want to be able to pass the string names from the config file to get the methods; however, in my attempts to do so, I keep hitting roadblocks.

I'm trying to implement some mouseListener functionality to a custom component I built. However, I'm running into some roadblocks getting it to work. Here is the code for the custom JComponent.

I'm currently working on a challenge that requires me to obtain the following format in desktop:

And the following in mobile:

Where I'm struggling is trying to get the left and right info-boxes vertically centered with the center info-boxes (as it is in the desktop mode.)

I figured using floats was the most intuitive (for me). I've been trying to use relative positioning to center them, but I'm not sure that can work. Likewise, the usual vertical centering tricks don't seem to be working (as they often require absolute positioning.) Any ideas as to what might work best? Here's the little bit of code I have so far.
