    Ah, a classical waste of type info implementation. Always noice to see those in projects, they are a big sign post of things to come.

    In C++ such class are sometimes used for disambiguing constructors that would otherwise be the same.

    TRWTF is that it doesn't implement an interface, right? :P

    The cache cow has blessed this code.

  • Vera (unregistered)

    At least it avoids the other hard problem: Cache invalidation.

    You guys really need to stop posting nonsense like "Gulf of America" exists :-)

  • (nodebb) in reply to MaxiTB

    Google believes the nonsense: https://www.google.com/maps/place/New+Orleans,+LA/@28.8933855,-94.7756446,6z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x8620a454b2118265:0xdb065be85e22d3b4!8m2!3d29.9508941!4d-90.0758356!16zL20vMGYydGo?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDIwNS4xIKXMDSoJLDEwMjExMjMzSAFQAw%3D%3D

    Yeah, I know it was a funny day. First here in Austria selecting the English language on google resulted in the German name being shown ("Golf of Mexiko") for a few hours. And now we have "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)" - and apparently this topic is highly political in the US now with especially on reddit mods having a field day. I personally just find it hilarious honestly, it's so American (aka extra special :D).

    Certainly looks like an invalid cache.

    naming things, cache invalidations, and off by one errors. Chris's predecessor decided to tackle the second one,

    When I first read that, I skipped the "naming things", and thought the story was about "off by one errors", and then turned into a caching story. Talk about "off by one errors"!!!

    Well, real programmers count from zero: zeroth, first, second.

  • mdhughes (unregistered)

    That actually works as a cache in JavaScript (TypeScript, etc.), which this probably is.

    SimpleCache.foo = 1;

  • löchlein deluxe (unregistered) in reply to MRAB

    … so it's really an off-by-zero-error?

  • SleepingYeti (unregistered)

    I bet there was once some policy of "no object literals, class instances only", and someone had to work around it.
