I just finished Doug Crockford's The Good Parts, and he offers three different ways to go about inheritance: emulation of the classical model, prototype-based inheritance, and functional inheritance. In the latter, he creates a function, a factory of sorts, which spits out objects augmented with desired methods that build upon other obj...

All over the place, especially in DBI, I see this message come up all the time. It's confusing, because the first thing that comes to mind is that the arguments I'm passing the function are set to undef (or something similar), but it's clearly not the case. Given a module and a corresponding script... Module: ./lib/My/Module.pm packag...
Are there any good libraries of functions to use with collections in Java. I'm thinking along the lines of implementations of partition, take, drop, takeWhile, dropWhile, map, filter, reduce...? I can write them myself, but it feels like re-inventing the wheel. Thanks, Alex ...
I'm just curious. In PHP, why wasn't echo implemented as a function? Why didn't PHP just give us printf and never tell about echo? Please note that: This is not a question about echo vs. printf. I already knew that echo is a language construct. UPDATE: By the way, was printf implemented using echo? ...

I have seen a question here where they implemented a generic dispose method that takes any IDisposable object and calls dispose on it. I would like to make this such that it can take variable number of args. However, I do want to restrict the args to be IDisposable at compile time. (This is because some people in my organization will en...

I have a method that allocates some memory but has a return false; statement when a function goes wrong. this statement is located about half way through the function so my memory is leaked if that function fails. This isn't the only return ...; statement I have in this f...
