OMG! You may not believe this in 2009 rather than 1999... Lunch: Before 11 am, every day, you write down what you want at reception, from whatever delivery place is the food du jour, with a $12.00 limit. Places I can recall from last month's scheudle: TGIF, Subway, Taste of Thai, Mexican, Chinese, ... It varies a lot. I'd say you repeat each place every couple weeks, give or take, some more than others. (TGIF happens on Friday a lot.) And some days it's a catered thing where you have chicken breasts and lasagna instead of picking. That was probably the best lunch I've had so far, not counting the company outing with bowling and bocci. I suppose after six months I'll get tired of the same options, but, really, doesn't that happen even if you pick your own lunch joint near work every day, or pack leftovers from your own cooking? And for all I know, they vary it up after awhile just to avoid that. But hey, for free, I don't really care if they don't change it up much -- It's varied enough already for me. Beverages and Snacks I Can Recall: Apples, Oranges, Bananas. Tea (a few options), Coffee Granola, Trail Mix, Granola bars, Fruit & Nut bars, another Trail Mix Popcorn, Popcorn w/ butter (Microwave packs) Peanuts, Pistashios (sp?), Cashews, Mixed Nuts Beef Jerky Ice cream bars, Drumsticks, Something else I can't recall Soda Pop, Beer (Corona and Lite), Red Bull Peppermint Patties Snickers (king-size) Doritos, Sun Chips (3 flavors), Cheese-Its, couple others I forget Apple Crisps, Asian Pear Crisps, Strawberry/Banana Crisps Pop-tarts (the organic brand) Pixie Stix. I think I saw Twizzlers, but I don't eat those so I dunno. Oatmeal, Mac & Cheese Some frozen pizzas. Some afternoons, somebody will cook one up and leave it out on the counter for all to dig in. I'm sure I've missed a few things in there, but I'd say it's on par with a moderately stocked quickie-mart or gas station, if that helps clarify things. If it's stocked at Costco and it's reasonably in line with the above, they'll probably get it for you. Did I mention the Rec Room: pool table, foosball table, Guitar Hero setup and ping-pong topper for the pool table? And playing cards, of course. Or the massage chair? And the 200-gallon tropical fish tank for zoning out? Cuz, you know, if you need a break to clear your mind, then go challenge Dawn or Eric to Guitar Hero and get your ass kicked, or take on Brett or whatshisname in Foosball (ditto) or... The only place that even came close to this was the dot-com I worked in the 90s in the loft with the co-workers' dogs running around... And that didn't include free lunch, though you could assemble lunch out of the snacks available if you weren't too health-conscious. :-) Fortunately, there's a very nice walking path out back around a big pond with a bridge for variety in route, so I can at least walk some of the snack calories off. Actually, if I have a tricky algorithm or high-level architecture question to thrash through in my head, I take a walk around the pond as well. Always helps me work things out. I did say I *liked* working here, right? :-) Obviously you won't switch jobs JUST for the perqs, but it's indicative of a mind-set and attitude thing that is quite refreshing so far, so if you're not happy where you are, please consider it. I thought the commute would suck, but I'm already so far North that it's a drive at speed limit across Peterson / Touhy and then Highway 72. I don't mind an hour or so at ~40mph. I hate the crawling on the "expressway" with a zillion others in my way. ymmv.

Precisely the point. But the construct will more often be abused than
not if its in the style guide..
Dont get me wrong, I love rough, sharp pointy edges that the smart
developer can use to do tricky things with, but thats more of a code
cosmetics issue than actual functionality.
I guess we all have opinions on where to make trade-offs, eh?

Which is why you only use it in your view, not in your biz logic. The
goal is clean, short, and survivable. The example they have on the
manpage there is awful... I'd consider that borderline obfuscation.

The example they give on the man page is enlightening if you think about
it from the point of view of some college kid who had java or .net
classes and is learning PHP on the job doing maintenance on some legacy
code base:
<?php
// Example usage for: Ternary Operator
$action = (empty($_POST['action'])) ? 'default' : $_POST['action'];
// The above is identical to this if/else statement
if (empty($_POST['action'])) {
$action = 'default';
} else {
$action = $_POST['action'];
}
?>
While the ternary operation is shorter and more terse, the standard
if/else method will be easier for them to follow.
Again, its about survivable code not shortest code. In order to survive
it has to live in the real world which often has people of various skill
levels interacting with it over time..
But, I'm just a curmudgeon ;-)

The ternary sieve-
$r = false;
if(!$r)$r = (strpos($hub,"PRJ")>-1)? true:false;
if(!$r)$r = (strpos($hub,"EAI")>-1)? true:false;
if(!$r)$r = (strpos($hub,"ST")>-1)? true:false;
if(!$r)$r = (strpos($hub,"PR")>-1)? true:false;

Subject: Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] "10 Advanced PHP Tips"
Number 3 is a very good discussion. I think the right way to think
about it is more than just initializing variables. Its an engineering
mindset or coding method.. Maybe call it "code to fail".. But the
principle is to make the exception the success case rather than the
error case. This is how good, secure input validation is done, how
firewall rules are usually done, etc.
The basic example he provides:
if (auth($username) == 'admin') {
$admin = TRUE;
} else {
$admin = FALSE;
}
is rewritten as:
$admin = FALSE;
if (auth($username) == 'admin') {
$admin = TRUE;
}
He then talks about more complex nesting of if/else, but thats not the
point.. Its really about ensuring that only expected results survive
the processing.
so in a function like:
function ValidateUser($UID) {
$return=FALSE;
// LOTS OF STUFF
return $return;
}
If you forget something or something else changes in the environment its
going to break rather than pass on unintended results..
He does touch on a good performance trade-off in exiting with a return
as soon as a fatal test occurs, such as:
if (isBlacklisted($username)) {
return FALSE;
}
Number 5 is one of my biggest annoyances with PHP developers in that A
LOT of them drop the brackets.. Its one of a short list of things I
would kill dead in the language. ALWAYS USE BRACKETS! There are a
large number of reasons but auto-code processing and readability or top
of the list..
I disagree with Ben and agree with authors on Ternary operators. Terse
is often bad for survivable code. And ternary operators are not easily
understandable by people knew to a language (which if your code survives
for more than a couple of years will inevitably happen). Terse is only
good for people who are experts in both the specific application and the
language when printing it out for a hand code review.. Coding
conventions (no short tags, use curly brackets, no ternary operators,
consisten case and naming conventions, etc. etc.) really help the poor
intern who gets stuck doing maintenance on your code 5 years from now.
Number 8 is a bad thing as a rule of thumb.. Frameworks can be good and
can also be bad.. Its really situation dependent..
Thanks for passing this on Neil!

I don't buy the argument against the ternary operator either. Inline if/then logic is incredibly handy for being terse.
