Java lacking some convention? Fine answer. I also have to point out that many people (including me) think that JavaBean-like accessors do not belong everywhere and they often hurt readability and design. I absolutely prefer the short name "size" for the method in Collection. |

Is it OK to split long functions and methods into smaller ones even though they won't be called by anything else? I wonder what kind of syntax would be suitable for subroutines that will be called from one point only... ;) |

How to read large XML files efficiently There's no need to parse the whole tree at once when reading XML. Large XML files can be handled using event based parsing. |

what is a efficient way to find repeating decimal This answer seems correct. The method is based on following "rule": 0.123123... = 123/999
0.714258714258... = 714258/999999 (=5/7)
etc. |

Why do “data types” in computers exist, if it's really all just bits? +1 for pointing out that without data types and structures we would be stuck in the 50s. |

Should I try to persuade my manager that code tidying should take priority over meeting deadlines? @jwenting I still fail to any kind of religious behavior here. He's asking a question, not ranting. He has chosen not to bother the manager at this point, but to ask advice from other programmers. That's wise. There's nothing wrong with caring about code quality. |

How does if/else work internally in all programming languages? +1 This is a fine answer to the question "what if is" in terms of high level programming. My answer is about how if is implemented or how "it works internally" like the title of the question seems to ask. |

Why don't languages include implication as a logical operator? @MaciejPiechotka: True, this depends on definition. Just about everything in mathematics depends on definitions. And sure, (!=) and (==) could be interpreted as xor and xnor (though I wouldn't consider them boolean operators at all). What I wanted to point out is that there are conventions about definitions and specifically about definitions of Boolean algebras. Furthermore, there are reasons and history behind these conventions, and that history goes way beyond the scope of modern programming languages. |
