..., so you may want to force compilation of these queries during application startup. Pregenerating views is the other possibility as you mention. Especially, for those queries that take very long to compile and that don't change. That way you move the performance overhead from runtime to compile tim...

... There's a dynamic programming solution. We start off knowing 0 keys can make us 0 A's. Then we iterate through for i up to n, doing two things: pressing A once and pressing select all + copy followed by paste j times (actually j-i-1 below; note the trick here: the con...

... for the sake of finding the most up-to-date results first, would a search start by looking at the newest segments? So just to clarify - suppose a document is updated. The older version of the document is added to the kill list, then any matches that are found in older segments are removed from th...

...that each thread has a separate copy of the object. The object's life time starts either at thread start (for global variables) or at first initialization (for block-local statics), and ends when the thread ends (i.e. when join() is called). Consequently, only variables that could also be declared ...

...hould be considered the mainline. This option specifies the parent number (starting from 1) of the mainline and allows cherry-pick to replay the change relative to the specified parent. For example, if your commit tree is like below: - A - D - E - F - master \ / B - C ...

...ize as more elements are added to it such as an ArrayList in Java. If we started out with a dynamic array of size 4, it would take constant time to push four elements onto it. Yet pushing a fifth element onto that array would take longer as the array would have to create a new array of doubl...

...y class you're using. These methods are always very clearly labeled; they start with the words Begin and End. As in Stream.BeginRead, Socket.BeginConnect, WebRequest.BeginGetResponse, and so on. These methods do use the ThreadPool, but they use IOCPs, which do not interfere with ASP.NET requests....

...ins and the element inspector—that it is often premature optimization to start with Canvas. Combining Canvas with SVG, as in the Facebook IPO visualization you linked, is a flexible way to retain most of these conveniences while still eking out the best performance. I also used this technique in C...

...etty shallow argument you're making here. The callee is also free to just start writing random memory locations with 0xDEADBEEF. But both would be very bad programming, and caught early and poignantly by any modern compiler. In the future when writing answers, please don't confuse what's technica...
