Though I posted the study, I do want to see more work in that area to repeat the observed effects or to refine the KPIs. For example, I am personally skeptical of the notion of "nu…

I prefer studies over anecdotes and found this: https://www.amazon.com/Accelerate-Software-Performing-Techno... According to this study, you can measure a team's progress and abili…

He is saying they should practice process isolation. Example architecture: https://cr.yp.to/qmail/guarantee.html

Rebase is not destructive. It creates new patches based on the previous. This confusion is caused because a rebased branch tag is given a new home; however, you can always add anot…

I wonder if they would agree to say a special word in the message. "Mention 'bananas' when you call."

I wonder if we've over-focused on the inlining vs functions-for-modularity thing here. Fundamentally, the primary objective is to express code in a way that is clear to the reader …

I think I'm bikeshedding; the whole "finder's fee" nonsense bugged me. The analogy between lost wallets and servers doesn't actually hold. One can have thieves and indifference in …

I'd like to feel like people would be ethically and morally motivated to make efforts to do the right thing rather than expect to be rewarded for doing the right thing. Perhaps it …

I think I am misunderstanding what I am reading; I do not see the Facade pattern addressed in the paper or in the article. My understanding is... Unlike the Visitor pattern, the Fa…

I've been thinking about this problem lately, and I thought the article gave it a good treatment. However, the problem I saw is that unless someone has already used the right provi…

I have only ever heard the opposing argument, but I am interested in understanding to its fullest extent how to implement good DSLs with macros. I understand CL and defmacro; I am …

I highly recommend "21st Century C" ( http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920025108.do ) as a tour of modern C programming, including use of C99 features. It goes over C tooling (p…

If you are interested (feel free to ignore if not)... Here are some examples for understanding list context and some of the things it can do for you. One funny way to think about i…

I'll bite... I have been programming in Perl for the bioinformatics community for about seven years. I understand your code is pseudocode, but I should note that the "." is conside…

Is that a problem of not knowing the language or a problem of not having exposure to better patterns [1] that are generally language-agnostic? I get what you mean about the idioms …

That's a delegation strategy, which is a very limited form of composition. A class with a trait/role can be queried for that interface: smile() if $my_object->does('SomeTrait'); Me…

No. :( Our users -- lab folks -- are not particularly computer savvy, and everyone benefits from the face time, especially when it comes to translating what they said on a JIRA iss…
