Oct 17	comment	Is requiring attribution GPL-compatible? Thanks for your clear explanation and your advice, Scott.
Oct 17	accepted	Is requiring attribution GPL-compatible?
Oct 17	asked	Is requiring attribution GPL-compatible?
Oct 11	comment	Why declare a variable in one line, and assign to it in the next? @Aerovistae: for built-in types they are the same, but the same can not always be said for user-defined types.
Oct 5	comment	How can I reformat my condition to make it better? `\|\|` is only commutative if used on values without side effects - if for example used with functions some functions might not get called (short-circuiting) or return a different value in a different order.
Oct 2	comment	Is it possible for a good programmer to have never used version control? Before I found about version control and it's usefulness (I discovered it about after 2 years of non-professional, hobbyist programming) it was not uncommon for me to have five folders with "backups" of project milestones - a primitive VCS.

Sep 19	comment	How can I really master a programming language? SK-logic: programming languages change, and so do their libraries and environments. As a result the way you work with the language changes as well. For example, jQuery changed the way we work with Javascript.
Aug 23	comment	Is defining a variable to name a method argument a good practice? In Python named parameters solve this, say someone has this function: `def open_window(fullscreen):`. Example calling code: `open_window(fullscreen=True)`.
May 4	comment	“how bad” is unrelated code in try-catch-finally block? @DavidThornley: code in finally is code that executed no matter what.
Apr 5	comment	How do you maintain focus when a particular aspect of programming takes 10+ seconds to complete? Wow these ideas are great!
Mar 7	comment	Will high reputation in Stack Overflow help to get a good job? @aF. I sure do.
Jan 28	comment	Are C and/or C++ viable/practical options for web development? @Raynos: dynamic image processing or heavy AI is not related to web development. You could do the web app in Python or PHP and the heavy number crunching in C.
Jan 26	comment	How to stop the development spec from changing in mid development? Have you tried saving the spec in a read-only file?

Jan 3	comment	Overcome clumsiness in writing code @Mike Partridge: I sometimes envy the programmers who can't see the corner cases. When I'm writing code I spot most of the time where it could go wrong, and it makes it very hard for me to actually continue without getting lost in handling corner cases.
