Isn't this the standard practice? :) I developed the habit to announce all changes in my service on Slack when deploying to production, even seemingly invisible ones, and that helps not to forget the tickets after writing the code. But

Is this something like a trailing comma in lists — a quirk to minimize diffs because you don't generally know when you start writing the paper whether you will remain the sole author or co-authors will join the work?

I could see the difference with "commodity" employees, and that sucks, but what's the big difference if we are talking about programmers? The company is obviously very interested to make us not want to leave, and also probabl

I am confident that Turbo Vision can now meet many of the expectations of modern users and programmers. Probably needs help with porting to node.js though: https://github.com/magiblot/tvision/issues/27#issue

Moreover, most mobile apps, web or native, could suck A LOT less if they did just that, load all the data at start. I have taken that to the extreme of serving all the code and data in one file. Definitely will do that again if I ever make

I had a vague feeling that std::deque is a "heavy" thing which you shouldn't have a million of, but iterating through a couple big ones is pretty fast. 1–4K batches wouldn't hurt my feelings. Looked up GCC, it's act

Or std::deque. It's conceptually similar, but additional allocations are hidden under the hood and batched.

Yes? Neither you need to be an expert in file systems to stick a file on a server. And, yes, 99% of the time you don't need a DBA, just install Postgres on said server and go ahead with ORM.

Probably, a large part of the answer is that you can walk away from these tables in horror and simply assume YCbCr or grayscale, and still show most files in the wild correctly. Serenity seems to do just that. For text, UTF-8 is still not q
