Just took the family to see the new Thor film. It's an outstanding film. We'll worth going to see, ignoring the fact that it's not three stops from Charing Cross to Greenwich.
|
|
|
|
|
Looking forward to seeing it, but it doesn't open until 11/8 here 
|
|
|
|
|
For some reason, it opened earlier here.
|
|

Of course if one alights at Charing Cross one merely turns right, walks 100 yards and then one is at The Savoy.
If one is staying there one would never go to Greenwich!

Why would you stay at a common hotel? How very 20th century nouveau riche - one should, of course, stay at one's club. Home House is very pleasant and well situated.
BTW; a reason to go to Greenwich is the observatory. Royal Observatory[^]. Well worth a visit. Otherwise, yes, anything south of the river, much like anything north of Watford is not worth the time or trouble to get there.

My son yelled "I'm Thor!"
"I told you to use talcum powder" I replied.

I prefer the original version:
The god of war rode out one day
Upon a handsome filly.
"I'm Thor!", he cried.
The horse replied,
"Well, you forgot your thaddle, thilly!"

I was hoping it would be crap so I could write the following review:
Thor! Hoo! Haaa! What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing.

I've just found out that this works:
int[,] numbers = new int[,] { { 11, 21, 31 }, { 12, 22, 32 }, { 13, 23, 33 }, { 14, 24, 34 }, { 15, 25, 35 }, { 16, 26, 36 }, { 17, 27, 37 }, { 18, 28, 38 } };
foreach (int i in numbers)
{
Console.WriteLine(i);
}
Am I alone in thinking that's really nasty and unobvious?

I know that works, but I don't like it.

Glad to know I'm not alone!

I think I see the problem - you've got a redundant new int[,] in there! 
int[,] numbers = { { 11, 21, 31 }, { 12, 22, 32 }, { 13, 23, 33 }, { 14, 24, 34 }, { 15, 25, 35 }, { 16, 26, 36 }, { 17, 27, 37 }, { 18, 28, 38 } };

If you gave me that code as an answer, I would give you the first line in your signature as a response

Probably not, I bet a few others agree with you.
I personally don't find it ugly, specially with better formatting it can be quite readable.

The number 33 ticks me off a little bit, but other than that the line looks fine.

There is a phobia for that.

Wow, I like it, it is wonderful Yes, it is a bit unnatural.
By the way, for I while I thought it was Lua. However Lua output would have had more respect for the data structure.

A compiler error would have been nice...

?! On my machine it runs and does exactly what expected...
What do you want a compiler error for?!?!

To stop people doing it...if you declare something as a 2D array, then being able to use it as a 1D array is just...nasty...and it opens all sorts of "future behaviour" problems. Although MSDN does say "You can do this"[^] it doesn't lay down in stone the order in which such elements will be processed - which means that it could chanmge in future .NET releases, or be different between .NET and Mono for example.
It's just a trick - not something you should do in "real" code.

There is all sorts of stuff like that though.
I would say that younger developers get the notion that once they 'learn' a new idiom that they start looking for places where it can be applied without any thought as to the maintenance cost or real applicability.
Of course I have seen developers into at least their late 30s doing that as well. And defend the usage as ideal based on rationalizations that it requires fewer lines and that real developers should understand that code anyways. Never seen a rationalization that actually supported delivering code though.

Had it been a jagged array int[][] numbers = { new int[] { 11, 21, 31 }, new int[] { 12, 22, 32 }...
I would expect and is getting an error.
