Any code style that makes you reorder things when code changes is bad. It would screw up diffs. You are using a version control system right? There’s a few other things that would make your code prettier, but screw up diffs. Imagine this code: int foo = 42; int fooBar = 1024; Now let’s make … Read more
General Decision Before deciding on what to use, I will create a list of criteria that must be met by the library. This could include size, simplicity, integration points, speed, problem complexity, dependencies, external constraints, and license. Depending on the situation the factors involved in making the decision will differ. Generally, I will hunt for … Read more
I think many developers do that in Presentation layer, specifically in ViewModel/Presenter/Controller (not in Activity/Fragment/View!). My approach is to put that logic in Domain layer. Why? Is it presentation logic or domain logic? Presentation logic is something you decide “mapping render model”, “format of render model”, “how to render”, “what color, what size, which text”, … Read more
I highly disagree. Junior developers will end up being Senior developers. How? By encountering advanced topics that aren’t taught in school. My code base now makes heavy use of Inversion of Control containers. I would never revert my code to the old way because a junior developer had issues groking IoC. Instead I would take … Read more
I arrived here because I was trying to remember whether attributes or styles have greater precedence. This is one practical reason why you’d want one over another. Attributes get applied as “presentation hints”, as if they were the first of the cascading style sheets. In other words, this gives them lowest precedence. Thus the precedence, … Read more
This is possible starting in iOS 5.0 by subclassing the abstract class UIPopoverBackgroundView and assigning your subclass to the popoverBackgroundViewClass property on your UIPopoverController instance. Unfortunately there is no tintColor property as the popover needs to use images for it’s arrow and border in order to achieve smooth animations during dynamic resizing. You can learn … Read more
If you are changing the code file, I don’t really see why you wouldn’t want to commit and share those changes. If you don’t you run the risk that someone else will fix them and then collide with yours. If they aren’t changes that other users want in the codebase, perhaps you should ask yourself … Read more
Getting tabs to look right depends heavily on the configuration/choices of all the software the source code might be displayed or printed by. If you have a restricted set of such software and find that’s not a practical problem for you, that’s great – go for it if you see value. But, be aware that … Read more
No doubt, it’s essential for understanding code to give member variables a prefix so that they can easily be distinguished from “normal” variables. I dispute this claim. It’s not the least bit necessary if you have half-decent syntax highlighting. A good IDE can let you write your code in readable English, and can show you … Read more
There are no standardized conventions (such as PEPs) for those names. If you check the python stdlib you’ll find lots of different names for those functions. However, decorator is a rather common name for the decorator function inner. It is also common to call your wrapped function wrapper and decorate it with functools.wraps(f) with f … Read more
