In this case, the image was actually helpful because it revealed that OP was invoking the compiler by hand rather than using the built in eclipse compiler. (more) |

Well, I'd prefer:
```
assertEquals(13, fun(42).getY());
assertEquals(10, fun(43).getY());
assertEquals(16, fun(44).getY());
assertEquals(133, fun(47).getZ());
assertEquals(1, fun(3).getZ());
assertEquals(16, fun(2).getZ());
```
which makes it way more obvious that the blocks invoke dif... (more) |

I guessed that this was the reason you mentioned onbeforeunload :-) Just to be perfectly clear, the problem I see is that network I/O in onbeforeunload can not be relied on to work, because the application will likely unload before the server response arrives, making it impossible to react to a failu...

In the Schwartzian transform, I'd prefer using an object to hold the tuple rather than arrays for better readability (i.e. one can then write `sort((a,b) => a.sortKey - b.sortKey)` rather than using "magic index 1". Also, your conclusion makes it sound as if execution speed were the only concern. It ... (more) |

That last question might be specific enough to be answered in a reasonable amount of text (this answer is gonna be: it depends, and would have to enumerate the various things that usually factor into this decision). The question you originally posted is bit too broad IMHO. You may therefore want to e... (more) |

Well, the difference is that the databases will be separate databases. Can you clarify what you mean with "set up"? Installing the database software (off topic here), migrating schemas, configuring a different database connection in test and production, or something else? (more) |

Do you know the environment well enough to say that with certainty? For instance, people are never interrupted by a ringing phone and have to handle that before continuing? Or the arrival of an urgent email? Or some coworker asking for help through chat? Obviously, I don't know the environment you ar... (more) |

To clarify: Bug 3 is about returning an `ApplicationUserDTO` rather than an `Observable<ApplicationUserDTO>`. Those are different types, offering different properties and methods. TypeScript doesn't realize this because you are declaring `public currentUser?: any;`

Erm, what? My answer says that static methods can not be overridden in a subclass. Which is their main disadvantage. I don't get how you came conclude that my "example didn't add anything about method" when that example declares 3 methods, and proceeds to call one of them in a way that wouldn't be po... (more) |

So if I find a question unsalvagable, I should "downvote and move on" or flag it. So, I should never give negative feedback myself, and ask you to pass it along instead? Ok.

Where have you read that? I ask because the same word can mean different things in different contexts, so knowing the context is necessary to know what "typeless" means.

Answers describing solutions in other languages or frameworks are welcome - they can likely be adapted :-) I am using JPA (the Java equivalent of EF), and I am using its optimistic locking feature, which seems similar to EF concurrency checks.

In addition, the usual caveat for all terminology questions applies: Different people may associate a different meaning with this word.

You did ask whether you are missing something. Yes, you are: If you use git well, you will be writing meaningful intermediary commits, so amending or squashing will be a rare event, so there is no need to "fix" commit dates.

I suspected that :-) I was trying to point that ngrx need not be an all-or-nothing affair. If part of your state is SHARI, and thus benefits from the store, other data might not be.

I am not surprised the C book list went of the rails if voting was disabled for years, everybody could edit the list at whim, and the form of the community wiki answer discouraged offering evidence for or against a particular book.

Ah, so it's about tools only?

Erm, are you *sure* that the declared length of a VARCHAR determines row size in the table file for MyISAM static tables?

But, since I alluded that I still have a different perspective on the decision taken, I should probably briefly show where I disagree with your reasoning: 1) I don't think we would have seen thousands of answers in a community as small as ours currently is. 2) In a list style question, voting could i...
