I'm curious why about why you don't like that name? I'm asking because I'm usually torn between short names that assume the reader can understand them and long overly descriptive names that (in theory) require less impli

That's something I'm wondering about too. In a professional setting is the time better spent practicing refactoring katas and going actual development techniques to make code better vs playing a game. I think using it in a CS101 o

If a massive standard library, or really any library, doesn't have good documentation how do you find out about it? In some statically typed languages like C# and Java you can use an IDE's object or interface explorer to see what

In the release notes it says the MAXPATH file name limitation is fixed. Does that mean what I think, and we're now free to have things deeply nested with arbitrarily long names? ~32768 characters according to the docs. I frequently hit

I'm pretty new to this and just learned some more about routing requests in a cloud service at scale. For a lot of services where the location of the resources might change (frequently sometimes), you want to handle the routing interna

Can you expand on this? I'm interested to see how this works in a real code base. I'm thinking something like an initial (maybe massive) if block in the setup of the application that sets all of the behavior/features by decla
