... indexing service Disable your anti-virus and anti-spyware software, or at least set the relevant folders to be ignored. Put your files on a different physical drive from the OS and the paging file. Using a separate physical drive allows Windows to use parallel I/Os to both drives. Have a look at yo...

...ey are usually written in a different language and are often created or at least modified by the end-user. Scripts are often interpreted from source code or bytecode, whereas the applications they control are traditionally compiled to native machine code. Scripting languages are nearly always embe...

...mplying that compiler macros are "regular" macros, when in Common Lisp (at least), "compiler macro" is a very specific and different thing: lispworks.com/documentation/lw51/CLHS/Body/… – Ken Apr 27 '10 at 20:21 ...

...QL DBs are more versatile and of higher quality than their competition, at least until you hit a scalability barrier intrinsic in the model. But are you really trying to write the next Twitter, or are you just trying to keep some accounting data organized and consistent? Criticism of SQL is often a...

... not. Programmers will not expect this, and you risk violating the rule of least surprise. Since there are other really good reasons not to do this, you'll additionally give yourself a poor reputation if you do it. Thus, I suggest that you not do this unless you have a really good reason. It is far...

...ly (i.e. immutable). What I mean is that it doesn't happen in practice (at least in my experience). To update a domain object the Interface Layer would have to either a) reference the domain object's repository, or b) call back into the Application Layer to update the object it just received. Either...

...sed to be utf-8, but length apparently still returns a number of bytes (at least it's true on my compiler gdc) even when using multi-byte chars. It is unclear to me if it's a compiler bug or by purpose. (OK, I probably have found out what happened. To say to D compiler your source use utf-8 you have...

...e, but ToList has a more flexible constraint. It needs the array to be at least as large as the number of elements in the collection. If the array is larger, that is not a problem. However ToArray needs the array to be sized exactly to the number of elements. To meet this constraint ToArray ofte...

... Yes, everything you say is if not 100% at least 99% on the mark. This site is (mostly) pretty useful when you are in the rush of development at work but unfortunately the accuracy of the answers corresponding to the (game of) votes is not there. So basically in stack...

...e to handle these either. To summarize, this restriction prevents (or at least makes it harder for) the developer from building something which can result in errors from which the application would be unable to recover. sh...
