  • RE: Identity puzzle

    This falls under the use-it or lose-it category. I got this wrong even though I knew the answer.

    It's a good QOD though.

    I would like to know the reason behind this...

  • RE: Identity Insert

    I can't picture ever using this knowledge, but learning it is still cool.

  • RE: Pruning

    It's definitely the clutter that bothers me. It can cause additional time to be wasted when maintaining or updating an application.

  • RE: Physical join

    Okay, I'll byte. What exactly is the definition of a physical join?

  • RE: The Value of Your Time

    Steve Jones - Editor (2/18/2009)


    I completely agree with the appraisal and notification for the CEO. Knowing about emergency or out-of-the-ordinary expenditures is important, and should be done. My point was...

    I maintain that it is possible that this CEO may have decided that this knowledge is indeed of value to him or her, and for reasons that are not known...

  • RE: The Value of Your Time

    It is probably safe to assume that as CEO, the travel approval rule is one that he/she feels is important. I could speculate that travel time is unproductive, or that...

    Here's an interesting combination:

    This code works perfectly OK ( the unmatched block comment marker causes no problems because it is part of an inline comment):

    print '1'

    --/*note unmatched...

    Good point. But then

    /*

    Good comment not.

    -/**/*/

    does work. Does this remind you of the Perl parser?

    That's not as bad as it seems when you break...

    Charles,

    Regarding line (10). That is the same incorrect assumption that most of us made. Line 10 is not ignored. The comment begin marker causes the parser to search from the...

    It's the best way to remember which code was in the original block.

    I thought that is what version control is for?

    Given the inconsistancies noted, I guess it brings home the point that one should be consistant in coding. Either use the -- convention to comment a line,...
