Linux is an open-source operating system that is widely used in computer systems. It provides a platform for running various software applications and is known for its stability, security, and flexibility. Linux is based on the Unix operating system and was developed by Linus Torvalds. It is used in a wide range of devices, from servers to smartphones, and has a large community of developers who contribute to its ongoing development and improvement.

How to generate random password in .net core 6 with the length of 10

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 8.2 seconds

C# code to generate a random password with a length of 10 in .NET Core 6:

csharp
Copy code
using System; using System.Linq; class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { int length = 10; string chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789!@#$%^&*()_+"; var random = new Random(); string password = new string(Enumerable.Repeat(chars, length) .Select(s => s[random.Next(s.Length)]).ToArray()); Console.WriteLine(password); } }

This code generates a random password that includes upper and lower case letters, digits, and special characters. The length of the password is specified by the length variable. Replace the value of this variable with any desired length.

The chars string specifies all the different characters that may be included in the password. You may modify this string to include or exclude certain characters depending on your needs.

To generate a random password, this code uses the Random class to randomly select characters from the chars string. The resulting characters are concatenated into a string using the string constructor and the Enumerable.Repeat, Select, and ToArray methods from the System.Linq namespace. Finally, the resulting password is printed to the console using Console.WriteLine.

Asked 2 years ago in CSS by Phoebe

How do you stop a visited link turning blue?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 1.68 seconds

You can change the default color of a visited link using CSS. To stop the visited link from turning blue, you can set the CSS property color with a different color for the visited state. Here's an example using CSS:

css
Copy code
a:visited { color: red; }

This sets the color of the visited link to red. You can replace "red" with any other color value you want. Keep in mind that the browser limits the ability to style visited links for security reasons, so the property options are limited.

👩‍💻 would a:visited {color: inherit} worl to keep the color the same? I ask as the normal color and hover color are different

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.5 seconds

If you want to keep the color the same for visited links, you can use color:inherit. This sets the color of the visited link to be the same as its parent element. Here's an example:

css
Copy code
a:visited { color: inherit; }

This will keep the visited links the same color as the surrounding text, which could be useful if you're happy with the default link color. Keep in mind that if you have a different hover color, it will still take effect for visited links. If you also want to prevent the hover color from affecting visited links, you can add another rule like this:

css
Copy code
a:visited:hover { color: inherit; }

This applies the same color:inherit rule to visited links when you hover over them.

👩‍💻 Technical question

why should I use yarn instead of npm

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 12.87 seconds

Yarn offers several advantages over npm.

  • Performance: Yarn generates yarn.lock lockfile as soon as you add a package, which helps to manage the versions of packages and their dependencies. This means that you can use different versions of the same package at the same time and stop the package version inflation problem.

  • Reliability: Yarn uses checksums to verify the integrity of the packages, which ensures that the package is installed as expected.

  • Security: Yarn has built-in security audits, which helps you find and fix security vulnerabilities within your code.

  • Offline cache: In offline mode, Yarn creates an offline cache so previous installations don't have to be re-downloaded.

👩‍💻 Technical question

Asked 2 years ago in VS Code by Brittany

Computer wont allow me to download git

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 9.46 seconds

It's likely that you'll need to update the settings on your computer to allow downloads from third-party sources. To do this, you'll need to follow the instructions here to adapt your security settings. Once that is complete, you should be able to open the Git software and download the necessary files.

👩‍💻 Technical question

What is single sign on

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 11.17 seconds

Single sign-on (SSO) is a property of access control of multiple related, but independent software systems. With SSO, a user logs in once and gains access to all systems without being prompted to log in again at each of them. Using SSO, users and administrators can manage access to multiple systems from a single point of authentication. SSO is used mainly by organizations to provide access to their websites and applications for their employees. It is also used to provide access to websites for users with multiple accounts. SSO does not only simplify the user sign-in process, but also provides better security for user accounts since only one set of credentials needs to be protected. Additionally, because only one sign-in is required, SSO eliminates the need for users to remember individual usernames and passwords for each account.

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. AI bots are able to learn from conversations with users and expand their knowledge this way.

SheCodes Athena will help you with technical questions about your code using artificial intelligence to find the answer. Imagine a super powerful human who has memorized everything on the internet and can access that knowledge in a matter of seconds. 🤯

SheCodes Athena can answer most coding-related questions, even complicated ones! It can even find bugs in your code and tell you how to fix them in just a few seconds. Impressive, right?

Just remember we're still in testing mode so the AI may return strange or incorrect replies. Feel free to message us if this happens!

SheCodes Athena can only reply to coding-related technical questions. The same type of questions you would ask in the channels on Slack.

For questions that are not coding-related, write us here 😃

You should treat Athena like a SheCodes team member, so always be polite! 😊 Ask your questions as detailed as possible, just like you would do on Slack.

Here are some examples:

- Prettier isn't working on my VS Code. How do I fix this?

- How do I make bullet points with different colors using the list element?

- My code in Codesandbox is having some issues. Can you please tell me what the issue is? [Include the link to your Codesandbox]

For now, SheCodes Athena is limited to 5 questions per day for each student.

In that case, you can either ask SheCodes Athena a follow-up question, or you can post on the designated weekly channel on Slack!

Our technical assistants are still available on Slack and are always happy to help! 😍💪

Remember, questions are limited to 1000 characters.

- If you're working with an HTML file: Post a snippet of your code related to the issue you're having (just copy the code and paste it into the question box).

- If you're working with Codesandbox: Good news, you can just post the link to your Codesandbox and the AI Assistant will be able to view your code.

- If you have a longer question that would require an entire HTML file or more than 1000 characters, post it in the designated weekly channels on Slack! 😃

Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, among other elements. She received her name from the city of Athens, which she is known for protecting.

Much like the goddess Athena, SheCodes Athena is also incredibly wise and can solve complicated coding puzzles in a matter of seconds! 😍

Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.

So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. 👩‍💻🤝💻
