That's a very long post to justify your professional existence. He protests a little too much.

It's been extremely hard to write C# oddities because it appears the people who created it did a pretty good job. It's not a bug, it's a feature
I'm pretty sure he's wrong about the switch statement, but I'm too lazy to test/look it up.

I agree. I would say that the second peculiarity can be replaced by const (in that case), and the third one is a classic C++ unreadable mess.

Baloney!
His allegedly NOT compiling switch statement is the like of which I write every day, and it compiles.
Enough said!
|

|
|
Yeah; what's he been smoking? 
|
|

Yes it's allowed. Fall through is only not allowed in C# when the case contains something. If it's empty like he showed, that's fine.

Hello! Anybody home!
It is bad enough to use switch at the first place, but since when we solve repetitive task using 'fall through'?
Dear author - for that we introduced method (function/subrutine/...)
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

The comments on the article are rather amusing - especially his reply to Brian Friesen. Apologies, it appears you are right. It is a while since I programmed in C# and this was an example I found while researching this article. Perhaps you have some other examples that I can use in its place.

His switch statement example is absurd.
0) Nobody would write a switch statement that falls through from the first case all the way to default. That's just f*ckin stupid.
1) He neglected to include the break statement, which would satisfy the compiler.
2) Real programmers don't use goto.
3) "each case must either have a break or a return" - wrong, retard.
4) In some instances, fall-through is viable and necessary.
On declaration order of variables...
0) Regardless of whether or not a given variable is static, it MUST be declared before using it. Where did this idiot learn to write code?
On I++.ToString()...
0) It's call precedence. Learn how to write code before calling something stupid. On the other hand, we can call you a retard, and be correct whenever we do it.

He needs to look at the main code of the company I worked at about three years ago; it was a nightmare of C# rot.

Hear, hear! 800 line switch statement?? Pffft, hey it compiles to key / value pair so it performs.

One of the most persistent questions I hear about Windows 10 involves what happens when the free upgrade offer ends. Is Microsoft going to start charging subscription fees? After a close look at the company's financials, I'm convinced the answer is an emphatic no. Just sell a new version every year

Pretty much what I thought.
Consumer Windows revenue was mostly via OEMs anyway. So most people got a new version of Windows when they got a new PC. Few consumers actually paid for upgrades.
I assume what will happen is that if after July 29th you have an existing PC that hasn’t been upgraded to Win 10 then you pay.
If you buy a new PC with Win 10 then you’ll never have to pay for any later version of Windows (technically feature update to Win 10, since Win 10 is the "last" version of Windows).

Today’s computing environment is full of different attack vectors by which nefarious individuals and organizations gain access to systems to steal private, commercial, and government information. Microsoft wants us all to know that Windows 10 has been designed with all of those attack vectors in mind. It's certainly secure against Windows 10 upgrade notices

I can see virus writers creating something targeting just Windows 10 in response to the billion machines target! We live in hope...

If Rust is to take on work previously reserved to C++, we need to know how well it does what C++ does best. tldr version: it depends

A friend sent me that over the weekend, I think the biggest takeaway was from:
Quote: Many variations that seemed like they ought to run the same speed or faster turned out slower, often much slower. By contrast, in C++ it was hard to discover a way to express the same operations differently and get a different run time.
An extra 30ish years beating on the compilers optimizers is showing clearly here.
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?

Any optimization exercise that contains streams of any kind is pointless. (Java and .NET used to "win" these contests by caching the entire file!)

Absolutely, although I was pleased to see that STL (Stephan T Larajev) has an update in the wings which will speed up iostreams in VC++ standard library by 17 times (according to his claim).
