Are Intel compilers really better than the Microsoft ones? "EDIT: arm does not have an arm compiler." is this really what you meant? |

Are there pre-made commercial software licenses to choose from? @MorganHerlocker Clause 6 of the Open-Source Definition rejects such licenses. About "even for the owner": IANAL, but if he's the sole owner of the copyright, he can license it pretty much any way he sees fit. |

Is it possible to reach absolute zero bug state for large scale software? @JoanVenge I quoted that example to show how tricky bugs can be to find. In this case copy pasting was actually the right thing to do since it was proven correct and implementation written from scratch would most likely have more bugs. The tools and practices we - as an industry in general - are using is certainly not optimal. Best practices are easy to ignore and bad habits are easy to keep. Ultimately, bugs will always exist because humans are not perfect. But we can reduce the number of bugs by doing our best and insisting on high-quality education. |

Why do some of object oriented languages let programmer use primitive types? @DocBrown Technically they are structs (though they inherit from the Object class, and they can be "boxed"). But, yes, high efficiency and full object orientation are indeed possible. |

Avoiding new operator in JavaScript — the better way Your code is a bit more robust than I initially thought, but I did manage to come up with a (somewhat convoluted but still valid) example: jsfiddle.net/JHNcR/1 |

“Public APIs are forever: Only one chance to get it right”? "both a difficult technical problem and a difficult technical problem" You repeated "technical" twice. |

Should the variable be named Id or ID? @AllonGuralnek Indeed. Daniel B has the correct answer for the .NET convention |

Should the variable be named Id or ID? @jwenting The problem is finding out whether "id" is considered like a word or like two words. @Id says that it is a single word, so the variable name would be "id". |

Should the variable be named Id or ID? Look at your language's XML APIs to see how they do it. Java names classes like SAXParser and DOMException, .NET names classes like XmlDocument. Based on that, I'd say "ID" in Java, "Id" in C#. |

Detecting IEnumerable “State Machines” How about using ToList? msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb342261.aspx It doesn't detect whether it was generated by yield, but instead it makes it irrelevant. |

How do you compress ASCII strings into smaller bytes? Each ASCII character takes only 7 bits, so a string with 8 ASCII characters can indeed be stored in 8*7 bits - 7 bytes. |
