For me, the big thing I've liked about the XPS is that it has a good balance of powerful hardware, weight, battery life, and looks. I especially enjoy the fact that it has a dedicated graphics card, since usually only gaming laptops ha

Take each sub-item in `.` (the current item being processed), apply the function `x` to each sub-item, and collect all the result values from `x` into an array.

Sure, but this isn't exactly intuitive for new users - even those that have experience with others raster editing programs. The de facto expectation is that there is some dedicated facility for drawing shapes and lines.

"Lego Creator: Harry Potter" had something like this. If there is more than one piece of software with that title, the one I'm talking about was published... early 2000's? A little bit after the first movie, at least.

I'll admit I don't know much about Ada, but the "when" syntax additions described here look interesting. Is there any difference between "return when ..." and "if ...: return" in Ada?

The article is using "program" more in the sense of a package -something that might contain multiple executables - rather than a single executable. Mentioned a little after that sentence: These privileged components generally

Idiosyncratically, the website looks better on mobile if you view the page in desktop mode. That is, the content actually fits to the screen size, and the code examples aren't cut off mid-line.

Oh! This explains so much, particularly why I've always felt like most REST APIs aren't really... REST. Development teams go "ok, we need to design a REST API", and, due to the inherent architectural characteristics of R

When I used WiX, I found it very... clunky? Everything in XML, lots of attributes to fill out, etc. And, at least when I was trying it out, the generated MSIs didn't appear to have any sort of GUI (or so I read. I don't believe I

Similar to your first point, types also allow an IDE to inform user about what values can be used for a function or class argument. I can't say that typing bugs occurred very often in released code I wrote before type annotations, but

Huh. I actually write my code in this style. Perhaps not quite as detailed, but with the same idea in mind. I wish code like this was more common. Over and over, I've heard fellow programmers reply with something along the lines of &qu

Huh, that's really surprising. How does it happen? I assume it has something to do with gasoline, but I was under the assumption that most of the gasoline at gas stations was stored in giant underground concrete containers.

No, because (again, ideally) those taxes are going to be used to benefit the common good. Trying to get out of paying them would be like saying, "of course I should get help from everyone else for education, housing, infrastructure, et
