Mar 29	comment	Is it OK to have multiple asserts in a single unit test? I think as a general rule of thumb you should try to minimize the number of asserts per test. However, as long as the test sufficiently narrows the problem to a specific place in the code, then it's a useful test.
Mar 27	comment	How does understanding computer architecture help a programmer? I think a better comparison would be a mechanical engineer and a mechanic. Each deals with related problems at different levels of abstraction, and both could benefit from the insights of the other. The driver seems more aligned with the user.
Mar 19	comment	Is Bubble Sort the slowest sorting algorithm? xkcd.com/1185 Stacksort is definitely the slowest (check the hovertext)
Mar 18	awarded	Popular Question
Mar 15	comment	“I”, “We”, or Neither in code documentation I think it's down to personal preference. I don't see any reason why one would be more clear than the other in general.
Mar 15	answered	The difference between “concurrent” and “parallel” execution?
Mar 13	comment	Would Python be too slow for client-side use in Browsers? @igouy So if I were to write two functionally identical programs, one in C, and one in Python, you would consider the performance difference to be a property of the application, and not the language implementation?
Mar 5	asked	Does map-reduce transmit the data and executable instructions?

Feb 18	comment	Why do we need the async keyword? @svick thanks, this is what I was looking for. Makes perfect sense now.
Feb 18	comment	Why do we need the async keyword? I guess I'm curious why the compiler needs it. Couldn't it just parse the method and see that await is somewhere in the method body?
Feb 18	comment	Why do we need the async keyword? So this is really something for the reader/programmer, and not so much for the compiler?

Feb 14	accepted	How do you unit test an encoder?
Feb 14	comment	How is the Trial Period for Softwares generally implemented? This is just a guess because I've never implemented anything like this. I would save the clock at installation time and calculate an offset of the system clock before doing any timespan operations. EDIT: On second thought, this doesn't work. Now I'm curious as well.
