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 "number of defects per release" and want to see an ex

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 another branch tag to the original HEAD so you can revisit it

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 for maintenance. Secondarily, the code must work with

Amateur perspective here... My understanding is that it is the transformation of lists of symbols. This is one step above parsing characters/runes into more meaningful primitive data. Lisp has facilities for manipulating trees of dat

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 both worlds, but the natures of t

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 is how I was raised, but it seems weird to me that I w

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 provided language primitives for their data, you suffer the

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 just looking for good patterns of use. Can you point me to

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 (profiling, debugging, testing,

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 it is that in Perl, you store array, array ref, hash, and ha

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 of some language: code is easier to maintain when it looks

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'); Methods provided by a trait&#x2

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 issue to their actual problem.
