Ever heard of the Brugaire Consortium? They're the largest trading company in San d'Oria, with merchants traveling as far as Jeuno.
mixed feelings about this; some webcomics are best read like that, some don't.
Infrequent updates, and/or a story that's too complicated, or with too many characters, will end up making one feel lost when there's a new page.
In these cases it's best to basically wait until it's finished and binge it

that's also the conclusion of your thread, so I'm confused why you're stating the opposite here

it's useful to understand what are the best and worst cases of algorithms because you don't always need perfectly generic algorithms. sometimes you have data that will often be the best case and never the worst case.

I remember xenogears fondly, but the patchwork of storylines was maybe too unrelated/disconnected, it felt as if maybe some parts or character arcs were written by different people/teams who only coordinated at the very end to put everything together in the same big story.

TCO is definitely a legit term when it's applied as an implementation detail, to functions that need not even be recursive, purely for performance.
my pedantic opinion is that it's only when the term is *misused* to describe functional language semantic guarantees that it's annoying.

Or just directly show the method's documentation, like real IDE have been doing for decades...
Is LSP still that much of a primitive "lowest common denominator" set of features?

Here the part that surprises me is, 25 'o' fit in 8+14=22 bits, but the 12 'p', when split in these two groups of 6, take 15+12=27 bits...
Wouldn't it be smaller to encode the 12 'p' as 1+11, since it worked so well for the 'o'?

ooh... isn't it weird that it makes two blocks for the repeated `p` at the end, when a single block like with the `o` might be smaller?

Similarly, "go to definition" goes to the particular overload of the constructor that's being used, like on any function call. Going to the class from there isn't going to be difficult anyway.

In C# with Visual Studio, "find all references" gets you the list of uses of the constructor (this particular overload). To get the list of uses of the class, you can do it on a non-constructor use of that class. This also lists separately the uses of constructors of that class.

Linters use the words "code smell" as a category, but they assign an id and an explanation with examples to each of them.

No, it's better than void. It's `true`.
It can do a fun "while true" syntax: stackoverflow.com/questions/10...
It probably has a historical reason for existing: stackoverflow.com/a/3224910
But to me, its real use is as the quickest way to reset my prompt's "last result" indicator to "no error".

Near the end, you say that "ironically, software written in languages like Python, JS, Ruby, Java, C#, is harder to distribute than software written in a compiled language that can target all the required platforms".
Are you just talking about installing the runtime? I didn't understand that part
