Comment on Evaluating Flat Rate and Clock Time by Stillts

Stillts — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 20:12:30 +0000

As a young Flat rate technician that just graduated and is now working in the field I realize how much the older techs dont care about the customers vehicles. I always thought that turning wrenches correctly and not taking “BAD” short cuts would be seen in good with the Managers… Instead beating the flat rate system and making them more money even if they dont pay you for some of the task you have to complete is what they care more about. If you ask me the flat rate system sucks…not because I like quality work but they pretty much reward poor work. If there are larger jobs that have to be done on a vehicle they wont get done. Instead you look right pass those bigger jobs and take on smaller jobs increasing your car count instead of the harder more difficult jobs. You can basically be a Senior Technician that does only Entry Level task… how embarassing but profitable…Does it look like a challenging rewarding career anymore to me? No… someone needs to do something about the compensation or alot of new coming technicians will leave the industry just off how they realize that there careers will get boring learning new things and never using there knowledge… Being a Master Technician and doing Entry level work

Comment on Function Overloading and PHP by Edgarin

Although function/method overloading can be “emulated” in the case we want different behavior for different parameter data types or number of parameters; don’t forget there are many other cases where we need method overloading that can’t be emulated, for example:

(This code doesn’t compile, of course)
class AClass{
var $member;
static function myMethod() { echo “Static”; }
function myMethod() { echo $this->member; }
}
AClass::myMethod(); //Should display “Static”;
$obj = new AClass();
$obj->myMethod(); //Should display contents of $member

Unfortunately, in this example, there is no other way than renaming one (or both) methods.

Comment on Differences between C++ Classes and Structs by Rizwan

the differences in structures and classes of c++ is that the membors of structures in c++ are public by default and of classes are private by default ……….. you can do data hiding and inheritance in c++ structures as you do in c++ classes the only differences will be that the if you don’t provide specifier then by default the inheritances of structures is public and of classes is private but you can change it yourself by specifying the specifier you want (public or private ) on the basis of your requirements

to me yet the only difference between the strut and class of c++ is that all the members whether they are methods or they are data is that they are public by default in the structures and are private by default private in the case of classes . . . . .

Steve,
Your code compiles using VIsual C++ express 2008. Compiler only compain is about :

‘C::c’ not accessible because ‘D’ uses ‘private’ to inherit from ‘C’

where you have :
class D : C

which can be resolved by making the inheritance public – i.e.
class D : public C {}

Comment on Function Overloading and PHP by gregx

it is funny, i just started to look and learn php about 1/2 years ago and was googling about the same issue and got here. I wouldn’t say anything bad about the article but it seems to me some comments are made by people who are never used any other language besides php. This is disgrace! Probably that’s why all those php sites lack security so often because they are made by narrowminded lazy programmers!

PS. started 25 years ago in asm
