I’d say the index is actually an offset is a reasoning for explaining why it should start at 1. If index was an index, I’d just start at 1.
I don’t think any one is better than the other, but history chose 0.
That you can choose it in VB is probably the worst option :D
I start writing the implementation and get the “variable not defined” error and then let the ide add the declaration. It’s less keys to press and misspell.
About D, you could also be programming robots, PLC’s or thermostats 🤷♂️
IMO they should just remove the equality operator on floats.
Other package managers, like nuget, throw errors if all dependencies on a package cannot be met by a single version.
This is probably the result of it copying all libraries in the same output directory and that .net cannot load 2 different versions of the same library so more an application restriction.
The downside of this is that packages often can’t use newer features if they want to not block the users of that library and that utility libraries have to have his backwards compatibility so applications can use the latest version while dependent libraries target an older version. Often applications keep using older versions with known security issues.
They also couldn’t call it “.Net Core 4” so they called it “.Net 5”
Will they keep skipping numbers or start thinking about not naming everything the same.
I like the pattern a lot more. It makes you just initialize the value and only keep it ‘nullable’ for where it’s needed and then you need to check. Even .net implemented it (but a bit more awkward)
It has std:option
So every object that can be None or Some, needs to be checked when used. And only options can be set to None
I have a more mixed approach.
Decisions or attempts, i try to document them as comments on the ticket. It feels a bit like a conversation with my future self 😄
Things that pop up in my head that I don’t want to forget, but don’t have time to write out, I put in a new tab on nodepad++
Archi things go as markdown in de source code
Investigations and reports in a wiki
All these have all the pros of an engineering handbook out of the box (date, issuer, …)
I only use paper for the stuff I don’t want a trail off and just want to throw away afterwards.
