... I created a test suite, precisely to explore these issues (and more) (archived copy). And in that sense, you can see the performance issues in this 50+ test case tester (it will take a long time). Also as its name suggest, it explores the usage of using the nat...

... This problem is NP-Complete! In a nutshell one needs to explore all possible combinations to find the list of acceptable solutions. Because of the variations in the circumstances in which the problem appears at various schools (for example: Are there constraints with regards to c...

...ashed collection because it no longer lives in the correct hash bin. For example, object A returns hash of 1. So, it goes in bin 1 of the hash table. Then you change object A such that it returns a hash of 2. When a hash table goes looking for it, it looks in bin 2 and can't find it - the object is...

...t-model, skinny-controller" paradigm, and intermediate developers hastily excise everything from their controllers and throw it into the model, which starts to become a new trash can for application logic. Skinny controllers are, in fact, a good idea, but the corollary--putting everything in the mo...

...as possible. (2) is the one you're asking about. Think about one of the examples he gives, where a request comes in and you run some query, and then do something with the results of that. If you write it in a standard procedural way, the code might look like this: result = query( "select smurfs ...

...f good questions, a kind of minimum standard to see if the applicants are experienced. So, my question is: 25 Answers ...

...o notion of "registers" like we're used to seeing in a modern CPU like the x86 or PowerPC. The evaluation of all expressions ((1 + 1) / 2) is performed by pushing operands onto the "stack" and then popping those operands off the stack whenever an instruction (add, divide, etc) needs to consume those...

... SLR, LALR and LR parsers can all be implemented using exactly the same table-driven machinery. Fundamentally, the parsing algorithm collects the next input token T, and consults the current state S (and associated lookahead, GOTO, and reduction tables) to decide what to do: ...
