WTF?

This is your brain:

(=
(* 8 (count squares-seq))
(count (distinct (flatten (map generate-isomorphs squares-seq)))))

Well - those with brain can understand that lew is
puzzled by a post with so little context.

This is your brain on Microsoft coding practices:

int iRdByts, iBfrSz = 2048;
byte[] bAr = new byte[iBfrSz];
...
ZIS = new ZipInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(ChkSum,
bAr.length)); while((ZEnt = ZIS.getNextEntry()) != null){
while(ZIS.read(bAr) != -1);
}

Any questions?

(The real horror of it is that this style of variable-naming is
promulgated as *improving* *readability*. And not just by Microsoft!)

Maybe discussion about the whether hungarian notation is good or bad
should be left to those that can see that in the above only half the
variables uses hungarian notation.

Thanks for making that post visible, Arne. You are correct, a post absent
context is puzzling. Equally puzzling is the response you cited. I guess
given that the original post is absent context means that any random answer is
equally germane.

The question at which I was hinting is, "WTF are you asking?" The original
post doesn't give a hint.
