As so many things with scrum, a lot depends on the attitude of the scum master. If the scrum master is an ambitions person and focusing on results, stand-up meetings can be become a drag. If however, the scrum master has a focus on the team

Yes, I agree with you. For production compilers, with hand-coded parsers, it is a waste of space to store all files in memory. Please note that I was talking about introductions to scanning and parsing. I just feel there is no need to make

I do not know, if you took time to look at the next function in https://github.com/DoctorWkt/acwj/tree/master/01_Scanner , but there is a Putback variable, which seems to imply that the scanner goes back

This is actually not about a source repository being larger than a gigabyte, but a problem that arises with the C-preprocessor, where for a certain use, a certain header file is included many, many times, and where the position for all incl

I feel that many introductions to scanning and parsing are based on old techniques when memory were scarce. In those times storing your files in memory, was simply impossible. But we live in times where we have gigabytes of ram and there ar

With a Yacc-like parser, it is indeed hard to define what the AST should be, but because AST generation is most of the time rather straightforward, you could automate it, by simply specifying some string at the end of a rule and have a gene

Git does not store differences between files, but packs (versions of) files (to save disk space) in single .pack files.

How long would it take to make the whole screen one color (excluding the red car)? And what is the best strategy: driving in circles or fast alternating between gas and brake?

I have been looking for photogrammetry based 3D modeling software. Most existing photogrammetry solutions produce a point cloud, which usually does not result in nice geometry. Often, we as humans know that a certain object as a certain geo

Maybe being a senior software engineer also means that you know the difference between what is important and what not in a particular situation. It is very easy to get caught in something that is not really important and put a lot of energy

An electrical car produces almost as much fine dust particles as an internal combustion engine. Thus in that respect they are as poluting. The CO2 and NOx combustion engines produces are not that dangerous to our health. Soot, mainly produc

Gravity is the weakest known force, orders of magnitued weaker than the other forces. Dark matter has never been measured on earth due to gravitational interactions. This is probably related to the fact that the particle responsable for the

He basically argues that there are no forces to be discovered which could have a measurable effect on our day-to-day functioning. For example, so far, we have not discovered any dark matter particles. This does not rule out that we will dis

Actually, it is a way to represent state machines as 'code'. It is a way of seperating the data from the functions, such that the functions can be 'stopped' and 'continued' in the middle (turning them into coro

You could even implement this with a loop instead of a recursive call, to avoid running out of stack. Please note that memorization is a simple trick to solve a lot of parsing problems. I developed an intepretting parser, that basically doe

One type of refactoring is to replace recursion with iteration. You could replace iterate_big_datastructure with an iteration class. I know, it will require dynamic memory allocation. But do not forget, that you can also run out of stack if
