Yeah I'm with OG the former is definitely the way to go, then you're sure they are the same in both environments.

Thank you for this comment… Recently I took over some relatively big
Java/Eclipse/Tomcat projects and I see such things all over the place …
I even have no time to change this but it should be changed, of course 
It's the mindset indeed of such "devs" that is totally wrong …
BR,

I hate code like that. I hate it more when I submit code for a code review and I'm told to do things like that. I quite like code like;
Product p = GetProduct(params);
return p;
I know that GetProduct returns a Product class and the code lets me debug to see what "p" is. Invariably someone who "knows better" will tell me to use "var" or more likely just "return GetProduct". The reason it annoys me so is that when it comes down to compiled code it makes no difference. Optimisers render the output the same.
I remember in one job the tech lead had a hard-on for defining constants in their own classes (nothing wrong with that) but declaring them as static strings. I said we should use constants instead, I then began to explain "Because the compiler...." and he cut me off there saying "I don't care what the compiler does, we shouldn't change our code due to the compiler." Ok....strings it is then.

Frankly, I've been doing similar stuff myself quite frequently albeit after verifying that all the building blocks work.
A stack trace of the exception being thrown usually helps debugging when something truly unexpected happens, although I wouldn't consider Deserialie(UserProvidedData) an overly valid use case for such one-liners.

I have found myself a few times in C# and JavaScript when debugging that I needed to add a return line just to break point inside some anon function. It's a bit nice once in line breaking was added, but I do like the push to split up code for more readable instead of compact lines.

the y2k bug come to my mind. on a 8bit computer one byte per date is a huge space optimization, but i don't believe that mainframe COBOL programmers had to be that careful.
also, i remember reading about an "optimization" of the old day ms-dos assembly programmers using the inability of i8086 to address more than 1MB so they wouldn't mind generating segment:offset addresses that past the megabyte barrier, because it will roll over and map into the address space of the zeroth+ segment. this of course caused latter compatibility issues.
there was a similar man made "optimization" problem on the first mc68000 Amiga's, but i don't recall enough info to check what was the trick there.

Absolutely disgusting, this is the recipe CREATE legacy sh*t right from the start.
I can't even imagine the hacks Microsoft must have had to do keep old Win32 apps working in a modern OS.

Some IDE's have options to remove local variables. Don't ask me why!
I like them for debug STOP locations as the poster prefers.
I also like them for readability and documentation.
Boolean summaryDescription = (super nasty Boolean expression with 4-8 components);
if (summaryDescription) {
handleIt();
}
An ex-team member used to have their IDE preference to collapse these out of existence.
I hated looking at my code after they had performed some minor tweak on my code along with a "reformat".

If you can't explain something to a five year old you don't understand it yourself. (Einstein, I think).
Same goes for writing clear code.

Looks like something that older Unix C programmers would write. Easy to code, difficult to read.

Presenting: Smarter Socks[^]
Yes! That's right: you can ask your socks when you last washed them, and if they are "still black". And all this for just £16 per pair!
I have no idea how I have coped so long without this.

The app is only available in the apple app store.
I wonder why.

on that they suggest to download the app before getting the socks as [paraphrased from their own words] later you may not bother to download it.
really, yes, sure, you bet ya I'm gonna do that right now ...
I really hope it keeps reminding me to order the socks, and whatever else you have in store - with regular updates (the app and the inventory).

This product is just silliness. I refuse to believe this is a real product for sale.

As a bit of a sock nazi I DO actually miss one feature in my current socks:
- which socks belong together,and could help sort them out
I struggle each morning to find two matching socks.
They're all black, of the same fabric, and the same product line, but some are older than others, some are shorter, some have been worn on my left foot and others on my right...
Sometimes I grab two socks, try them on both my feet, and then put one back and try another.
If only my socks came with a color code so I could keep them together (like a red/green/blue L on one and a same colored R on the other, that's "smart" enough for me)

Stoneyowl here: The latest Chrome browser does not show a login/password text box, so I had to login using my Facebook account (which I almost forgot I had).
Regardless, to comment on OG's IoT item: Working remote from home, and living in south Florida, I have not worn socks in over 2 years (except when my wife requires it) - flip flops are my foot apparel of choice

You're in luck! Useless IoT item of the weekend[^]
BTW: I just checked the login, and it works fine for me: I signed out, then signed back in via the email/password combo with no problems, and that is using Chrome Version 72.0.3626.96 (Official Build) (64-bit)
If you have a problem with sign in, you need to raise it here: Bugs and Suggestions[^] preferably with a screen shot (WIN+SHIFT+S is good)
