The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

You can do anything with webservices, you just need enough of them. And lots and lots of really verbose XML. Can't have a solution with webservices without lots of XML!

Domain vs Technology Ranjan.D2-Feb-13 7:15 Ranjan.D 2-Feb-13 7:15  Hi, I have a confusion in which of the below one's to go, any suggestions please regarding the future if I take one. I was working in latest technology for Healthcare Industry(5+ yrs). However I worked in VB.NET for 9 months but I'm in love with C# Now I got two offers to work 1. Work as a Consultant in Banking sector with the latest cutting edge technology like C#, MVC3 , WCF. 2. Permanent full time opportunity to work in Healthcare domain with ASP.NET in VB.NET programming Thanks, Ranjan.D Re: Domain vs Technology Brisingr Aerowing2-Feb-13 8:33 Brisingr Aerowing 2-Feb-13 8:33  I think that should be placed somewhere other than here!

I thought people would love to suggest and help me by all means. Ranjan.D Re: Domain vs Technology SoMad2-Feb-13 12:31 SoMad 2-Feb-13 12:31  I agree that this is the wrong forum. I would suggest posting it in The Lounge. It seems to me we might benefit from having a new forum specifically for posts of this nature.

I thought I have posted this in Lounge. Ranjan.D Re: Domain vs Technology devvvy3-Feb-13 0:28 devvvy 3-Feb-13 0:28  you didn't mention $$$, is it because you love coding so much and you're such a great programmer that money don't matter? dev Re: Domain vs Technology Ranjan.D3-Feb-13 5:12 Ranjan.D 3-Feb-13 5:12  Yeah what you said is true. If I would have gone with money then there wouldn't be much a problem to choose one Now you have asked, Here it's Contract Offer: 35$ an hour on W2 Contract , the consultant said they are going to pay all the tax with Healthcare 60/40 benefit. Means employee needs to pay 40% Permanent One: 90-95$, I do have to pay all tax with additional employee benefits like payed leaves , Health care benefit. Thanks, Ranjan.D Re: Domain vs Technology devvvy3-Feb-13 17:08 devvvy 3-Feb-13 17:08  Retail banks pay cheap. I suspect both Health care and Investment pays well. Work life balance in Health Care? dev Re: Domain vs Technology Ranjan.D3-Feb-13 17:19 Ranjan.D 3-Feb-13 17:19  Yes Healthcare is really doing well and it's like evergreen. And they do pay well. Regarding work life balance if you are into a product company then it's really good and also if you have prior healthcare experience then you will enjoy learning things in Healthcare. Healthcare, Energy , Investment sectors are really good. Ranjan.D Re: Domain vs Technology Marco Bertschi6-Feb-13 1:08 Marco Bertschi 6-Feb-13 1:08  Ranjan.D wrote: Healthcare domain Take it.

Re: The best lambda expression I ever saw SortaCore6-Feb-13 23:04 SortaCore 6-Feb-13 23:04  I think one posted in the chatroom a coupla days ago had C++11... [](){[](){}();}(); ... but I suspect he was trolling. Re: The best lambda expression I ever saw peterchen7-Feb-13 3:09 peterchen 7-Feb-13 3:09  The great thing about C++ is: you can never be sure. ORDER BY what user wants Re: The best lambda expression I ever saw phwitti7-Feb-13 8:08 phwitti 7-Feb-13 8:08  xD .. If i'm not mistaken, that is just an empty lambda nested inside another one ... I wonder if one could go on and on like that. -- But in the end it would do nothing (besides probably a stack overflow, if you take it too far^^)
