  • If you used regular filesystem moves, p4 may have registered them as separate deletes and adds. Depending on workspace configuration, Perforce may not propagate deletes from the depot, so old copies might be left behind. Always move files in a workspace using P4V, your Perforce plugin, or the p4 mv command to ensure file continuity. If done properly, this will appear as add/move and delete/move.

    But if things aren’t showing up in new places, it’s likely you referred some things you didn’t mean to or didn’t commit everything. Check to see if you still have anything checked out. Also worth noting that empty directories don’t exist as far as Perforce is concerned.




  • I know this will come as a shock to a lot of people, but a lot of software doesn’t do CI/CD. Especially CD. Basically only webapps can do CD, although Dropbox is close with weekly releases. A lot of enterprise and industry software still does quarterly or even semiannual releases. Hospitals, banks, and government agencies in particular have stringent vetting procedures that mean they can spend months verifying and approving a new major version before upgrading, so there’s no point throwing one at them every couple weeks.













  • If you use JavaScript, you’ve probably seen a monad, since Promise is a monad. Unit is Promise.resolve(), bind is Promise.then(). As required, Promise.resolve(x).then(y) === y(x) (unit forms a left identity of bind), y.then(Promise.resolve) === y (unit forms a right identity of bind), and x.then(y.then(z)) === x.then(y).then(z) (bind is essentially associative).

    You even have the equivalent of Haskell’s fancy do-notation (a form of syntactic sugar to save writing unit and bind all over the place) in the form of async/await. It’s just not generalized the way it is in Haskell.


  • Rather than messing with the EventListener, wouldn’t it be easier to just throttle the function that it calls? You can find a bunch of articles online that will explain how to implement a throttle (and also a debouncer, which is similar, but not quite what you’re looking for; a throttle allows a function to be called immediately unless it’s already been called too recently, while a debouncer waits every time before calling the function and restarts the wait timer every time someone tried to call the function).
