Ack, 'struct' should obviously be 'enum':
enum Flavor
{
FLAVOR_VANILLA/*...*/ = (1 << 1),
FLAVOR_CHOCOLATE/*.*/ = (1 << 2),
FLAVOR_COFFEE/*....*/ = (1 << 3),
FLAVOR_STRAWBERRY/**/ = (1 << 4)
};

Standing only.
The chair has extra long legs. It is a sit/stand type:

That's not quite true.
In virtual gaming currencies, which are monotonically increasing, games such as Ultima Online, World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, PoE, etc. which have infinite supply (for all practical purposes),have the cost of items goes down as more and more people become wealthier.
This is most evident in Path of Exile's temp leagues, where every new "season" the cost is exuberantly high and comes down from the stratosphere as the season progresses.

Uh, if everyone is standing, all that has changed is that everyone's head has move up 1 or 2 feet.
> The nail/person that stands up gets hammered down.
Nonsense. Find a better company that knows how to respect people and is willing to _invest_ in their employee's health.

> even though there is absolutely zero evidence that stationary standing is better for you, standing desks are being pushed so hard.
False.
I switched to standing desk alternative between siting and standing. I most certainly do feel better as the constant switching every 15 mins or so breaks up the complete monotony and stress of siting all day.
My personal subjective experience over-rules your "data."
/Oblg.
> I wonder how much a standing desk would really help.
I switched to one a few years back. I was extremely skeptical at first.
The first few days of usage was enough to convert me for life. Absolutely love it ! You sit for a while, stand for a while. It breaks up the monotony of not moving. Especially if you take a 5 min break every 45 - 55 mins.
> I would suspect just-standing as you would at a standing desk is better than sitting,
No, as that is too hard on the feet / soles.
> if only because of micro-movements involved in remaining standing.
Correct.
> I've never understood the hate for VB.
Because shit designed languages, like PHP, Basic, and Javascript teach and encourage all sorts of bad, sloppy, programming habits, and inhibit the programming from using _good_ design / architecture. i.e. Visual Basic didn't get inheritance _until_ VB.NET long after everyone suffered with VB6.
For professionals we want compile-time type checking to catch stupid mistakes of
- mis-spelt variables
- using a variable with a mis-matched type.
Sure, for one-off's and throw away code VB6 was fine, but when you change the case of a variable, and the IDE changes ALL copies of it, or worse, lets you use a variable without declaring it earlier, you are shooting yourself in the foot with dumb mistakes that will waste your time tracking down subtle bugs.
> The verbose syntax of VB makes it easier for a broader range of abilities to be introduced to programming without all the symbology of C like languages getting in the way.
Nothing says a noob language like verbosity.
Why?
Verbosity is "noise" cluttering up the "signal" all in the name of a mythical "readability." Consider the enum in VB6:
Public Enum Flavor
flVanilla = 2
flChocolate = 4
flCoffee = 8
flStrawberry = 16
End Enum
C's enum gets rid off all the crap we don't need:
struct Flavor
{
FLAVOR_VANILLA = (1 << 1),
FLAVOR_CHOCOLATE = (1 << 2),
FLAVOR_COFFEE = (1 << 3),
FLAVOR_STRAWBERRY = (1 << 4)
};
Note: The '=' equal sign is multi-column aligned, but
In Mathematics we don't go:
result_integer = integer_2 integer_add integer_2
We get rid of the superfluous crap and use symbols.
result = 2 + 2;
Verbosity is one of the reasons Pascal was a complete failure. It wasn't pragmatic and/or practical for SERIOUS coding.
What a smeggin cop out.
Of course you have a choice -- if *you* won't respect your body and buy better equipment so it is healthier don't expect any one else too either.
Dual / triple monitors and a standing desk are the two *best* _investments_ for your body you can give it. Am ergonomic keyboard where your wrist isn't twisted is also great.
Maybe by being proactive and setting a positive exams your company will get on board by taking ergonomic health issue more seriously.
"Be the change you want to see in the world"
Complaining about it and doing _nothing_ is precisely part if the problem.
No directory.
