in thread Useful number of childs revisited [SOLVED]

Thank you Laurent for sharing your secret knowledge.

"You can't say that" he said "It doesn't, and you can't, I won't, and it don't it hasn't, it isn't, it even ain't, and it shouldn't it couldn't" He told him, "No, no, no" I told him, "Yes, yes, yes" I said, "I do it all the time Ain't this boogie a mess"? (FZ)

Anytime i put my hands on this stuff i feel a bit like this.

And to be honest: this is one of the reasons why i always blenched from using threads.

Best regards, Karl

    Hi Karl,

    Hmm, I answered to your post more than 24 hours ago (immediately after my answer to [BrowserUk}, but it seems that I forgot to actually post after preview.

    I am not sure what I should understand with "secret knowledge", especially in view of the link.

    There is nothing secret there, I was only reporting results obtained in our team after many lengthly tests and benchmarks, nothing more. They only make sense for what our processes do, and probably not for different processes.

    As I said, I still thought that these results were not off-topic and were relevant. Sorry if they were off-topic and irrelevant.

    Having said that, I am puzzled with your answer, that's why I ask, but by no mean do I find myself offended by it.

    Je suis Charlie.
      "...I am puzzled with your answer..."

      Dear Laurent,

      No need to worry - it was just self-irony.

      But every joke has a serious background: the uninitiated tend to name things that they don't understand intuitively as "secret knowledge".

      This applies to any métier.

      With closer examination "secret knowledge" is simply the result of long, hard and systematic work:

      "...I was only reporting results obtained in our team after many lengthly tests and benchmarks..."

      In other words: before intuition there is a lot of iteration repetition.

      Please see also Re: poll ideas quest 2015.

      I'm working hard to take myself not too serious.

      I hope that helps ;-)

      Edit: Minor change of wording.

      My very best regards, Karl
