...o identify all registered directives and compile the directives one by one based on priority if these directives are on the same element. We set our custom directive's priority to a high number to ensure that it will be compiled first and with terminal: true, the other directives will be skipped aft...

PostgreSQL - yes MySQL - no; DDL causes an implicit commit Oracle Database 11g Release 2 and above - by default, no, but an alternative called edition-based redefinition exists Older versions of Oracle - no; DDL causes an implicit commit SQL Server - yes Sybase Adaptive Server - yes DB2 - yes I...

...e computation may be done either by floating-point hardware or in software based on integer arithmetic. Doing it in hardware is much faster, but many microcontrollers don't have floating-point hardware. In that case you may either avoid using floating point (usually the best option) or rely on an i...

...ut in this case the class is actually instantiated via reflection and used based on the key. (A distributed app where the client doesn't have the server classes available, just the key of which class to use to do the server side work). – Yishai May 22 '09 at 14...

...should be GPG signed. Use of this option when doing operations such as rebase can result in a large number of commits being signed. It may be convenient to use an agent to avoid typing your GPG passphrase several times. That config is usually set per repo (you don't need to sign your private e...

...to do in the background, this can be either better or worse than threading-based solutions; certainly, it is much more scaleable (ie you can do many more things in the background), but that might not be of concern in the current situation. ...

... possible. There are two ways, as far as I know. They are By setting database connection property to allow multiple queries, separated by a semi-colon by default.

...ly have an "interceptor" that right before reading/writing from/to the database does DateTime conversion (from UTC to local time, and from local time to UTC), so I can use DateTime.Now (derivations and comparisions) throughout the system without worrying about time zones. ...

...ld for each planet. Then you can have a trivial comparator compare planets based on their mean distance from Sun, and order them using this comparator. This is IMHO a clean and foolproof solution. Whereas your solution breaks as soon as e.g. a new colleague decides that planets should obviously be l...

...ail since the x and e are treated as non-numerical components (at least on base10). The unary + will convert them properly though. parseInt('2e3',10) === 2; //true. This is supposed to be 2000 +'2e3' === 2000; //true. This one's correct. parseInt("0xf", 10) === 0; //true. This is s...
