I ran Opera for a few months years ago, don't get this "meme"

The two hardest things in programming are Cache Invalidation, Naming Things, and Off by 1 Errors.

And you have auto-commit turned on... Time to see if the backups work...

HA!!! If only it were that simple. While standardizing on forward slashes would be nice, we'd still need to deal with drive letters, case sensitivity, and a million other compatibility issues which only Microsoft handles well. No one else uses C: as a path lol xD but at least we have path libraries in most languages now. I remember the days of manually constructing paths with string concatenation, not that that was better but talk about this madness and people look at you as if you're a grandpa or an idiot. I literally remember having to manually code paths what API's do in 3 lines now. I used to need 400. Which is better? And i'm "omly" 36 years old. Short time to make the world r******d as it is now

Tom Scott is an absolute legend even though he never wrote any meaningful code. He helped a lot of people gain knowledge

42 is always the answer, on any question

also true

Don't forget to specify your return date too

New shoes, New backpack.. is this a glitch in the matrix?

"Being good at smt doesn't mean it works. Love, Mom

Damn you stroustrup

Meanwhile I'm all, "Stop screaming, dude, I'm not even done here, why are you always so dramatic"

Badge still works, phew

JAVA uses this, and it's awesome. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a newb high level programmer, but JAVA is good. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If you want to get into programming JAVA provides everything you need. PLEASE PLEASE do not get hung up about other programmer's conventions. JAVA makes money, no you will not learn the "low level" stuff seasoned programmers know but it's the best start. Python is too easy, C is too complicated, C# is too "Windows" (but I absolutely recommend) and C++ can be offputting. Start with Java. Here's the thing; we all have our preferences but the bottom line is this; you can't program now, learn ANY language and you can. THAT'S the only thing that matters

Uhm... no. It was not the free market, it was HER who willfully decided that doing TikToks and p*rn on OF is easier than working a factory job, an option that most machinist don't have btw. It was not "the free market" who opened an account self-describing as "semi-pro sl*t". An Aerospace Machinist makes on average $28/hr, that is on the higher end of most specialized blue collar jobs, she decided begging for $130k from her "simps" is a better use of her time. (all from a cursory glance at her twitter profile)

I was always Team "Year X". My coding has always included good formatting and thorough comments and I've never done any programming shortcuts that wouldn't make sense to future me.

No it doesn't 😒

Sooo.... Does he do sound design or did he just forget about it?

I've worked with people like this. They are given calculations to make along with examples in the user story. I do the code review and they have not done the calculations at all, but instead hard coded the examples so it will pass testing. 🤦 They did not pass code review.

Preach! My hardest job ever was working in a boiler room-like call center fulfilling orders for products shown on TV (mostly infomercials back when those were a thing), along with the occasional credit card application. That job made me temporarily hate the world. My hat goes off to everyone who works in the service industry, and fast food workers deserve so much of our respect as well as a living wage.

Took me a moment. If you need help, replace the symbols, eg. "1212" is equivalent to the first string and "1221" is equivalent to the second.

I will now spend the next 6 years building a dependency injection framework for Smalltalk, and Xerox shall rule the world!! (once I also invent a time machine, which should be about as hard).

I'm always looking at code and saying "who wrote this sh*t?" and then realising it was me

Structure isn't everything. But it's a LOT

Big O notation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_O_notation -- we use this quite a lot

Generative AI? Nah, Regurgitative Plagiarism Program.

Do they actually take it, though? From what I've heard, truck drivers are incentivize for speed and penalized for anything that slow them down, including safety measures like "breaks", "peeing", and "a full night of sleep". I hope I'm wrong, but that's what I've heard. Maybe it depends what country you are in.

So long as I got paid, I would not care
