Marc Clifton most definitely did NOT write: enum DifferentType {
long WeInt = 1,
short creat = 2.345
}
I think I'm getting it ...
Yep, it's 7-letters, the first one's an 'S', it definitely ends in "UM" ...

That is broken for sure - although technically not.
However, it does make me think why don't we just use a readonly, const, static, whatever, class full of values as they (sort of) show in a later example instead of an enum? ...and no casting required.
Is it really much of a performance hit, if any?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Well, that enum is just wrong.
Will that even compile?

Hell no. Not now, not in 2016 when that post was written.

By unhappy coincidence, I've just finished writing a section for a style guide that tells people never to say that something is difficult, challenging, complicated, etc. -- because, if you do, people will believe it, and it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Marc Clifton most certainly did not write:
enum DifferentType {
long WeInt = 1,
short creat = 2.345}
Well, at least they've proven that they can count up to five -- but not much else.

This is the side effect of "You must use enums for comparisons so that the code is maintainable." code review comments.

I hate this kind of dogmatic crap.
What the hell is wrong with a define, in upper case for comparisons?
|

It's easy. Unless you're doing it wrong, in which case it's challenging.

Wow...
and with a slogan of "Take your skills to the next level" I'm just wondering what level they speak of?

I think they're talking about level 4 (by Dante's reckoning).

In August I will be in London / Bath / Cardiff and I'm trying to book a date for A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Well, they have a site that seem made in the early 2000s, with a non functional payment section (maybe it works only for the UK Maestro cards because with my Mastercard it simply shows a blank space after I click on pay).
Truied with all the browsers on different days, nada. No PayPal option. Send an e-mail to support: they booked the seats for me (I told them the seats and date in the e-mail) I just have to phone to pay. International phone call, ugh, ok no problem... the number they gave me is inactive, and it's the same advertised on their site. [this was a problem on my side, I had to mangle the number to make the call from abroad]
I'm not sure if I am a (wannabe) spectator of a show or the unwitting actor of a comedy.

if the sites looks that old perhaps ie 5, or mosaic netscape 3 will work?

I'm fairly sure it's a validation problem, it has two fields required for UK cards that don't exist for other cards.
Well, phoning in worked, except that I had to ask to slow down because street british accent is "oufol".

Same as most languages if you are not a native speaker. But chances are the person you were speaking to was not either. Most help lines in Britain these days are manned by foreigners.

So either Danish or French.

Not a big problem, I already followed Richard II in 2013 and I didn't find it excessively difficult. I've been more exposed to Shakespearian english than London street english.
Also the new productions tend to go easy on the ancient english, only the traditional plays maintain it in all its splendour and difficulty.

It's Shakespeare; late 1500s.

I've noticed in the past few years that most advertised C++ jobs are in the Linux ecosystem. Apart from legacy applications what new work is being done specifically in the Microsoft ecosystem?
