the broad point, aiui, is that you need to join the group if you want to succeed in it, and one common way to signal adherence to a group's values is with your attire. i doubt that people on Wall Street are literally saying that sneakers mean you are bad at banking. more like "professionalism is critical at Big Peon Exploiting Bank and dressing well is part of that". even when the dress code is "there is no dress code" it doesn't mean you can wear just anything. three guys at the same level come in to work, one in jeans and t shirt, one in a suit so nice i wouldn't know how to put it on, and one in board shorts, flip flops and a mesh tank top. at least one of them is getting weird looks

quick question in this scenario can I be wearing mesh jorts?

not really? think strings, there are so many ways to call two strings "equal". it's the reason why .net has an IEqualityComparer


let's not give dangerous oversimplified lessons. string comparison must not be made easier, in fact it's always been too easy. even something as simple as lowercase vs uppercase for case insensitive comparison is far from trivial - windows uppercases, using a non-standard internal table. the c runtime library lowercases, even on windows, so you really shouldn't compare filenames with wcsicmp (there's even a provision for ntfs volumes to use an internal built-in uppercasing table - special file $UpCase - but I don't know if it's actually used in practice. I really hope not!). and let's not even get into culturally sensitive vs culturally independent casing, and corner cases like the german sharp-S or the turkish dotless I

there used to be an amazing blog about all these subtleties, by microsoft engineer Michael Kaplan, but he died and the blog was taken offline. I didn't learn much because the topic is unimaginably complex but I learned to treat strings like dangerous wild animals

among the things I learned is the kinda brilliant solution microsoft found for efficient contextual collation of strings: transforming text strings into sort keys - binary strings that encode the sorting weights of each character (see LCMapStringEx with the LCMAP_SORTKEY flag). these binary strings can then be cached and efficiently compared with stricmp, giving the same result of comparing the original strings - extremely convenient in places like databases (just remember to store the version information of the sorting data, and reindex if necessary!). SQL Server definitely uses them and I wonder how much work it would be to add support to sqlite, possibly as an extension, because I always find myself having to add user-defined functions

you can't have the language without the word for that language! that'd trigger Undefined Behaviour probably

and yet the word alphabet doesn’t contain the entire alphabet that it refers to, and you don’t complain about that?
