Guideline

A guideline is a statement by which to determine a course of action. A guideline aims to streamline particular processes according to a set routine or sound practice.[1] Guidelines may be issued by and used by any organization (governmental or private) to make the actions of its employees or divisions more predictable, and presumably of higher quality. A guideline is similar to a rule.

List of guidelines

Examples of guidelines are:

gollark: If you `write` onto a datagram socket or something, you then have to have code in the kernel to interpret that in a somewhat sane way.
gollark: And you probably need some somewhat fiddly compatibility to map not-very-sockety stuff onto sockets.
gollark: Files and sockets need to share a namespace, code somewhere (possibly multiple places) has to make sure it's using the right type of thing.
gollark: That doesn't seem very advantageous.
gollark: It doesn't seem very helpful to make something a special type of something else if they work entirely differently.
