I've run into this when working with lambdas in particular. Say for instance I want to track the performance of a particular bit of code in a standardized way. I can write a method…

Sure, but the migratory patterns of Canada geese are just a little off-topic, don't you think?

Have you considered Crapcha? https://crapcha.com/

If my experience in retail is any indicator you're lucky if that request gets approved....and even luckier if your manager remembers that they approved your request!

I agree with this sentiment and would like to see more this sort of this not just for moderators but for every "low skill" job. Especially the C-level employees and shareholders - …

I answered "both" because I'm not running all of the projects I'm working on and some of them prefer tabs and others spaces - so I just go with the convention that that particular …

+1 - Another great example of difficult games as parody is I Wanna Be The Guy ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Wanna_Be_the_Guy ). Take all the existing conventions and stereotype…

This was deliberate on Douglas Adams' part [0]. It's all part of the joke. Other notable sections are where the game actively lies to you about being able to access a particular ro…

The notation for player death appears to be "JIGS-UP". Glad to see the classic Infocom sense of humor is present in the codebase too.

To add onto your comment - I'd also consider a work environment that automatically assigns the documentation, test-writing, etc. to a gender minority (or other minority) to be toxi…

This looks really cool and definitely fills a need I've had when doing web front-end. Does the UI viewer work with dynamic content such as that loaded from a back-end (or say, from…

Hi, clinically diagnosed here and while I can only speak for myself, the only time I've had an issue with someone who self-diagnosed was when they consistently brought up Problemat…

One reason to suggest a smaller max character count is to assist those with impaired vision. I'm highly myopic and, while my lenses correct for it, I still seem to get eyestrain wh…

The main benefit for me is the ability to quickly and conveniently see the commit history and diff as well as branches' current position. If you're already comfortable with doing t…

These are totally based on my own experience and may not make sense for everyone but: - In the main projects I'd be working on, how many new files are necessary to consume data fro…

I've had both good and bad experiences with checked exceptions - it can really depend on the team! One of the parts of Lombok that really works well for me is that its notations ar…

I enjoyed the list and examples but I feel the hypothesis in the introduction is flawed. All anecdata, but I expect those of us who read these sorts of lists will likely understand…

I know the comments aren't meant for silly jokes but I'm very disappointed that there's no "Go 2 Considered Harmful" jokes here

I'm really excited for this year's AoC, and trying to get other devs at my work involved too! Last year I tried to solve at least the first few days in a bunch of different languag…

How is complying to another's pronouns harming you in any way whatsoever? Meanwhile, you're harming them greatly by misgendering.

+1 on Advent of Code. Particularly useful are the sample input/output values that provide excellent unit tests. For 2017 I took the first few days and am working on solving them us…

+1 and extra credit if you arrange so that it never occurs again. (Could be adding tests, could be improving communication to faster identify requirements gaps, etc)

The crux quote from the article is "Police departments that collect more in fees and fines are less effective at solving crimes."

What level of nesting are you referring to here? I ask because I experience the opposite - with more than one or two levels of nesting I have difficulty keeping track of the condit…

+1 On this, and I'd want to encourage them to provide this feedback throughout the internship as well, not just at the end. Sure, sometimes they'll have suggestions that we've cons…
