我一直想知道这个函数在Java Core库的Math类中的用途:
static double expm1(double x); // Returns e^x - 1.
A very tiny thing that annoyed me in COBOL was that there was no dedicated modulo operation. Instead you could do a division specifying that you only wanted whole number results and store the rest in a different variable. Since COBOL is very sensitive when it comes to variables that means that you ended up with a variable you didn't really need, i.e. the actual result of the division. This is the story of how I once named a variable "USELESS" - that was the most appropriate name I could think of.
在SQL Server中，如果你在生产代码中使用select *，你可能会遇到一个令人讨厌的意外。无论如何，使用select *并不被认为是一个好的实践，但了解一些有趣的行为是很好的。
参见问题“select * from table”vs“select colA,colB etc from table”在SqlServer2005中有趣的行为了解更多细节
再给JavaScript投一票:
parseInt('08') == 0
因为任何前导为0的数都被解释为八进制(奇怪)，无效的八进制数被计算为0(坏)。我是在8月份发现这一点的，当时我几个月没碰过的代码自己崩溃了。事实证明，它本可以在10月份自行修复。
八进制支持显然已被弃用，所以未来几代的javascript将不会有这个仪式。
在ruby/python/c中，你可以像这样连接字符串:
a = "foo" "bar"
print a # => "foobar"
