Do let us know if you feel the same way when you are 40.

People discount the value of most things they don't have direct experience with. Experience is one of those things.

It's the same principle the states the more you know about something the more you know how little you know about it. The view from 30,000 ft hides many important details. And experience is the just sum of all the details you've encountered.

Comment Re:mysqli_stmt_bind_param() (Score 1) 244

That doesn't work if the parameter interface in your database's client API expects there to be a constant number of parameters in each statement. For example, how does one pass a variable number of parameters to mysqli_stmt_bind_param() in PHP?

call_user_func_array() You just have to make sure the parameter array contains references to variables since mysqli_bind_param() (mysqli_stmt_bind_param is deprecated, use mysqli_bind_param instead) expects the parameters to be passed by reference.

$A = Array($mysqli_stmt_handle, 'is', &$int_value, &$str_value);
$ret = call_user_func_array('mysqli_bind_params', $A)

But if any one of those is possible, all of them are. Both the Universal Translator and Data's magic 6 button presses are examples of a beyond-AI DWIM interface. Likewise, the DWIM software can tell what the captain of the enemy ship is targeting through the same technology. All I know is it probably has something to do with tachyon particles. :)

Comment Don't Buy It. (Score 1) 791

It doesn't matter if you will or won't get irradiated to death living there. Forget about that. Imagine trying to sell the place and the potential BUYERS worrying about being irradiated to death. That perception will lower the value of the property and you won't get as good a deal when you sell. It has a lower cost than similarly sized condos right? That's why you are looking at it and now you are worried. Same thing will happen when you try to sell.

Exactly. However, if your manager doesn't have a problem with it, it is nice if you can work some extra late hours when you're on a roll, and then take off at noon on Friday to make up for it.

Invariably, such cool managers get orders from above to stop letting people leave early on Friday because no one in the other departments allows it. Even when that isn't an issue, minutes before you leave Friday there will be an emergency that you just have to look at....
