That's him on the screen, isn't it?
I'm the guy sitting just outside the picture boundary, with a cold beer in my hand.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

For a few moments I was confused too - not just to others, brown people look the same to brown people as well. Then I noticed that he had glasses, so it couldn't be me. That was a huge relief, since I didn't want to be in new Delhi since I don't really speak Hindi all that well.

I wouldn't normally make this sort of off-color remark (see what I did there?), but since you brought it up:
Please tell your buddy to stop calling me about my infected Windows computer.

That'd be great, if you don't mind. How does your address book scale like that?

1. One step further and the receptionist becomes a generated image and voice and then humans are not needed for reception.
2. One step after that and you are turned into a robot visitor and then humans are not needed at all.

Of course in the not-too-distant future, having actual human staff will be a sign of utter swank.

sigh. I liked our receptionist. She should have seen the cut coming though. Even so, I swear to God, if I ever met someone like that as a "receptionist" I'd reach out and rotate the head some iterations of 180 degrees. I mean really, you walk into a business and you're greeted with that? Put some tits on it at least!

I was asked that yesterday and didn't really know. It's always interesting to discover where my knowledge gaps are.
Great article[^] on it right here on CP!

I deal pretty heavily with these interfaces internally - most of my cache collections, for instance, return IEnumerable of the appropriate type.

I didn't think it was very good actually, it didn't show a great understanding of those interfaces and contained a fair amount of incorrect information and bad advice (eg using IEnumerable is bad for memory use as it brings back all records is the exact opposite of the truth). The author was making assumptions about the interfaces and their uses from SQL Profile traces from Entity Framework

He lost a big chunk of upfront credibility in suggesting the use of the .net 1.x non-generic ArrayList and HashTable in some circumstances. Both types should have been moved to the System.Legacy.Cluster.Elephant.Do.Not.Ever.Use namespace eleven years ago when generics were added.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Ah. I briefly perused the messages, people seemed to have really liked the article, so I didn't see anything from the comments that indicated issues, but thanks for pointing that out.

You might want to edit your original comment and replace the word "great" with "okay"

TLDR version:
IEnumerable - supported by any sensible collection. Allows forward-only iteration.
IList - provides further members - allows random access, and supports mutation operations.
IQueryable - variant of IEnumerable designed to support deferred execution in LINQ.
(Edit - just actually read the TLDR, and I must say I was more accurate too).
