11/21   How do I pass a pointer to a member function in C++ or Java
        (inner class and shit)?
        \_ Java: You don't.  C++: You don't without pretty serious pain.
           \_ Wrong.  Pass a java.lang.reflect.Method object.  In C++,
              just take the address.  --pld
        \_ Java: use a java.lang.reflect.Method object.  C++: take
           address.  What do you mean by "inner class and shit"? -pld
           \_ At my last job (where I respected most people for the most
              part and thought they were pretty smart) everyone would
              boo and hiss whenever anyone mentioned using reflection,
              claiming that it was so slow and inefficient. How bad
              is it to use? What are the performance issues?
              \_ The more helpful answer is you shouldn't use a pmf or
                 Reflection unless you know what you're doing.  Maybe you
                 should rethink your design.  --pld
                                                             ? _/
                 Reflection unless you need to, and know what you're doing.
                 Perhaps you should rethink your design and use a more natural
                 solution (eg, interaces and adapters)  --pld
              \_ reflection is very slow, not a good idea. avoid at all cost.

4/29    Why were C and Java designed to require "break;" statements for a
        "case" section to terminate rather than falling-through to the next
        section?  99% of the time poeple want a "case" section to terminate.
        In fact some compilers issue warning if there is no "break;" statement
        in a "case" section.  Why not just design the languages to have
        termination as the default behavior, and provide a "fallthru;"

12/18   Happy 25th birthday Perl, and FUCK YOU Larry Wall for fucking up
        the computer science formalism that sets back compilers development
        back for at least a decade:
