Ah - the answer was so simple: I'm an idiot. for i in range(3): m.append(lambda x,i=i: x+i) actually works, I just had a brain fart. :)

It took me a minute to see the problems, but - not having touched Python for over a decade - I can't for the life of me bring the lambda to capture the value of the variable. I know this doesn't work (because python assignment rul

Well, there's a (rather hard to see) link to the MDN (which has reference links) in the upper right corner. But yeah, this should be more prominent. I'd consider this one expendable, though: https://imgur.com/a&#x2

You may be surprised how both extensive and fine grained the constraints you mention can be with current high-end RDBMS. And yes, that includes stuff like high availability and blobs/filesystems. (via naked POSIX API? Why the hell woul

Heh, after a quick look at the examples I tend to agree. Looks actually a lot like durandal (lifecycle hooks!) plus the knockout.punches syntax enchancements (the local filters look nice!), minus the dreaded parentheses. :)

That's cute. Too bad when the project timeline doesn't fit, the teams themselves don't fit, etc. etc. Yeah, team members can decide all they want when they don't have any resources to work with, because the primary stra

It's not about specific unit test frameworks or TDD strategies. It's about the fact that thirty years ago, for all intents and purposes, there was no such thing as "unit test frameworks" or "test driven development&

uMatrix is very nice, a whitelisting everything blocker with a really intuitive interface.

To add to that: a list of property names you don't even have to exactly know beforehand, since the shell can easily deliver you the exact data structure and metadata of any object (cmdlets, parameters, results,...) usable on the shell.

Except that this is in no way specific to proprietary drivers. Lack of a stable interface makes maintaining ALL drivers harder.

In my experience the likelihood of your scenario (increasing resistance to refactoring) is almost always indirectly proportional to the amount and quality of refactoring tools available. 500KLOC JVM/.NET application? No big deal. 50KL

Exactly. Testing an API in isolation doesn't help you a thing when the bug arises because of, say, subtle inconsistencies between API implementations of interacting services on a long chain. This sounds a lot like the code coverage fal
