...tories and updates the remote tracking branches (e.g., origin/master). It does NOT touch your working directory, index, or local branches. The -p argument prunes deleted upstream branches. Thus, if the foo branch is deleted in the origin repository, git remote update -p will automatically delete ...

...piled mscorlib code. Just because .NET shields you from this type of thing doesn't mean it's not important. A branch mis-prediction is horribly expensive at 60 Hz; or at 10,000 requests/second. Intel wouldn't have tools to identify the location of mis-predictions, nor would Windows have a performanc...

Why you should use automatic storage as often as possible Basically, the last paragraph sums it up. Using automatic storage as often as possible makes your programs: faster to type; faste...

It does not mean that you can actually construct MyClass, or that those are the right constructor arguments — but it is a useful form to express “this is everything you need to know about this instance”. Note: I used %r a...

... @AndreasLinden widely used doesn't mean best practice. Something using comments to write code on the fly cannot ever been considered best practice, it's not php native, and even not included by default in all frameworks. Having all the info about an en...

...gh, you'll find that even features that other editors also have, Vim often does better. All editors have syntax highlighting, but Vim has a syntax file for nearly every file format under the sun, often with lots of configuration options, and it's dirt-simple to write your own.
