Literally no words.........

!false

men==women returns false

"False Positive" and "False Negative" errors

Saw this a while back and decided to take a picture of it. Now I'm glad I did. XD

Bring the funny...

Welcome to JavaScript where
Number.isInteger(0.9999999999999999) is false and
Number.isInteger(0.99999999999999999) is true

The same goes for clients.

There are two kinds of people:
those who write
if foo.isBar() {
foo.setBar(false)
}
else {
foo.setBar(true)
}

Vs
those who write
foo.setBar(!foo.isBar())

Only good programmers will understand😢😊

public boolean even( int num ) {
if ( num < 0 )
num = -1 * num;
while ( num > 1 )
num = num - 2;
if ( num == 0 )
return true;
else
return false;
}

Code: if(customer.primaryContract)

Boss: "just using a variable as a boolean isn't very readable"

Me:
if(!(!customer.primaryContract != !true).toString() == 'false')

Q : 1 is true and 0 is false. right??
A : 1

[] == []; // false
[] < []; // false
[] > []; // false
[] <= []; // true
[] >= []; // true

This is not false !

When you see a someone write this
if(condition){
return true;
} else {
return false;
}

function isTrueOrFalse(s) {
if (s == true) return true
If (s == false) return false
}

If (condition)
return true
else
return false
😂😂😂

!false
It's funny cause it's true 😐

I just encountered this:

switch (boolean) {
case true:
…
break;
case false:
…
break;
}

if( !condition ) vs. if(condition == false)

Pointless debate started with readability, turned into heated insults under 30 seconds 😂

int main()
{
bool NeedPoints = true;
int Points = 0;
if (NeedPoints)
{
Points++;
if (Points > 10)
{
CreateAvatar();
NeedPoints = false;
}
}
}

!dev
Last week I watched a DIY video where at the end the guy dumped detergent water on the grass. I kindly commented it's a €150 fine. Their response was on the lines of "Oh yeah, Mr Proper? And what would you say if I told you I spray my whole garden with soap to get rid of weeds, huh?".

Well, you dumb fuck, I don't care what you do, I wasn't attacking you, I was being *nice* and warned you about the fucking fine that you're going to fucking pay because your channel name is your first and last name and your video shows the street and the house number but whatever.

Today I couldn't log into my YouTube account. Why was that, you might ask? Well, because the dumb fuck paid the fucking fine and assumed I was the one that ratted, so he made a video about it and his dumb fuck audience falsely reported all of my videos for child abuse and promoting terrorism.

I only upload unboxing videos that debunk scummy "deals". 🤦‍♂️

Wait, what?

Boss: "Can you create a login page where every login fails?"

Me: "Sure thing!"
*Writes out php file that returns false and calls it via AJAX*

Q: 0 is false and 1 is true. Right?
A: 1

Me-
/ / / / / / / / /
if (bool == true)
{
bool = false;
}
if (bool == false)
{
bool = true;
}
/ / / / / / / / /

My friend-
/ / / / / / / / /
bool = !bool;
/ / / / / / / / /

*not a real story*

Typical JS
null > 0 //false
null == 0 //false
null >= 0 //true

Wtf?

!false, it's funny because it's true 😂

if (condition == true && condition != false)

Shit fucking noobs

bool x = false;
bool not_x = x ? false : true;

Fucking pro noob shit!

Refactoring legacy code when...

if _out == True:
r = True
elif _out == False:
r = False

return r

True | | False

This rant is False.

Just spent like ten minutes searching why my api always returned false.
I forgot, that I am using Java and therefore cant compare strings using equal signs 🤦‍♂️

Classmate: "why doesn't it work?"
The code:

if (false) {
return even;
} else {
return odd;
}

#define TRUE false

bool success = false
if !success {
success = try()
}
if !success {
success = try()
}
if !success {
throw new GiveUpException()
}

not the worst by itself, except I keep finding them everywhere

if(thingThatIsTrue == true) {
// omfg
}

or it's inbred cousin

if(!thingThatIsTrue == false) {
//herpa derp
}

Today at work while reading legacy code:

do {
...
} while(false)

Wanna cry and laugh at the same time

?notFullScreen=false

The evilest thing to do in a C++ project:

#define TRUE FALSE

Repost from r/programmerHumor

Where I work, in our database, we use 3 to indicate true and 7 to indicate false and 0 is true but null is false

In another table, we use 'P' to indicate true and 'I' to indicate false and 'Y' is also false and null is false

And the most used table, we also use 'Y' to indicate yes and 'N' to indicate no, but null is also Yes.

We also store integers as varchar in a live table, but stays an integer in all the other tables. I hope I'm not there when the number of digits exceeds the varchar limit.

These are all live and used in production all created by my boss, the head of IT.

Want to piss off the person reviewing your PR?

don't just return true or false use 1 == 1 for true and 1 == 2 for false.

Watch the glorious rage unfolds 🤘🤘🤘

Me, when read old code:
if z == true
return true
else
return false
Yeah, why not stupid fucker.

Developers who writes something similar

if (count >= 0) { return true; }

else { return false; }

deserves a special room in hell.

I hope I can code myself like below.

me.Girlfriend = true;
me.Millionare = true;

but, the real case is

me.Girlfriend = false;
me.Millionare = false;

the sadest case is

me.Girlfriend is not defined T.T

if ($id != $product->getId()) {
return false;
}
return false;

What's the point?

I can't stand when people use (SomeBoolean == false) instead of (!SomeBoolean)

const true = false; 🤔
(from r/ProgrammerHumor)

I have previously seen this in a production code base. The same code base included nested if statements (20+ conditions)...

If (condition == false) {
return false;
} else if (condition == true) {
return true;
}

JavaScript question of the day:
Is NaN equal to itself?

NaN === NaN

A. SyntaxError
B. False
C. True
D. NaN

False Hope 😑

Why can't Python have a switch case statement???

Also what's with the capitals in True/False?

Came across a fun one today :
Some JS dev using 'false' and 'true' instead of false and true. 😫

There doesn't exist such a thing as perfect code.

Being told that real life experience < school degree.

You couldn't possibly be more fucking wrong.

Output:
true
false

Why?
This question was asked by my friend, was unanswerable.

> 0.5 + 0.1 == 0.6
> true

> 0.1 + 0.2 == 0.3
> false

🙏🙏

Kids use "if(condition)"
Men use "if(condition == true)"
Legends use "if((condition == false) == false)"

console.log(0.47-0.01===0.46);
Output: false :/

That got me stuck for quite a while..

Learned more about floating point arithmetic and representation 😊

Dude, what the fuck is wrong with you?

bool DDD = true;
if (DDD == true && DDD == false) {

Programming in a nutshell

If my laptop made the same many sounds that computers in series and movies does, I would go insane and became as creepy, cynical and depressed as the people you see in those films and series using their computers are

bool True = false;
bool False = true;
if (True == true)
{
False = True;
}
else
{
True = true;
False = !true;
}

if (!False == !!true && True == !false)
{
False = True;
True = (!!False)true;
}
Console.WriteLine("Banana");

The moment you realize your time assessment was wrong again.

The alarming rate of false news these days...

Do ya ever hate how often people use the term "AI" so loosely. It's like saying your thermostat or your "smart oven" (or "smart"-everything) is "AI-infused" because it can regulate the temperature. Unless the machine actually learns something for next time around, a bunch of "if" statements isn't truly AI in my book.

So, if i false just correct me to true. But if i true i will be false at the same time. But this is not false.

Am I the only one who's getting more and more aggrevated about how the large youtube channels misinform and make out VPN providers (I am looking at you, Nord VPN, mostly) as the messiahs of the internet? How they protect our data that would otherwise be in incredible "danger" otherwise?

I understand they need clients, and I know most of the YT channels probably do not know better, but... This is misinformation at best, and downright false advertising at the worst...

"But HTTP-only websites still exist!" - yes, but unlike the era before Lets Encrypt, they are a minority. Most of the important webpages are encrypted.

"Someone could MITM their connection and present a fake certificate!" - And have a huge, red warning about the connection being dangerous. If at that point, the user ignores it, I say its their fault.

Seriously... I don't know if Nord gives their partners a script or not... But... I am getting super sick of them. And is the main reason why I made my own VPN at home...

"Fresher Job"

devRant taught me that most dev stereotypes are true...and false :))

Ok , so True is just !False

JavaScript logic:

5 + false + [] is '5'.
5 + [] + false is '5false'

"" == 0 //true
"0" == "" //false

Always remember the ===
Realize this took me an hour of debugging

Spent hours trying to figure out why API calls to a third party service weren't working.

Hit up their support and find out the following:

"Hi there, we can only take true and false as strings."

"Uhmm... Does it take anything apart from true or false?"

"No, but they must be sent in as strings"

"Any reason why you don't take booleans if it's just true or false?"

*crickets chirping*

GFG

Just JavaScript things:
alert(typeof NaN); //alerts 'Number' alert(NaN === NaN); //evaluates false
What else would you expect?

if (!isset($woman))
{
$cry = false;
}

OSC, or open sound protocol, does not have a Boolean type. instead, the Boolean true has type true and the Boolean false has type false.
what.
well.
at least the problem wasn't in my code?

Yet again

If foo():
return True
else:
return False

Agrrr!!11

This is hilarious

Lets play a game of spot the bug...

Too easy you say?
What if I told you that this code was written by a well paid dev over an exceptionally large period of time?

Crazy huh, but that's still nothing. The most ludicrous thing about it - is that you (like me) probably suffer from a mild case of impostor syndrome.

I just ended that suffering. The only thing worse than impostor syndrome is believing you actually know what the fuck your doing. Keep it in check but learn to love it... it's probably the reason you could spot the bug after all.

Today I found this jewel in a PR of a respected dev of my workplace:
if(conditions)
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}

Midnight thoughts:

Why the opposite of 'true' is 'false'? why not 'eurt'?

boolean must be true || false || perhaps || schrödinger

JavaScript:
NaN === NaN // false
Typeof NaN === 'number' // true

if (condition){
return true;
} else {
return false;
}

Think of something more retarded than this:

boolean name = (getBoolean()) ? true : false;

I’ll often open up my console and check if something is true and then check if the opposite is false. Thanks js

#define TRUE FALSE

happy debugging! ! 😈😈😈

didn't anyone go for the "#define true false" joke? i didn't actually see it in action, but it would be a pretty harsh one.

It's stuck on this number even though I don't have any new notifications

Going to make a new programming language, positive# .

Dear Windows,

y is it that Windows Defender is suddenly closing down apps, I opened on my own, and have been using and interacting with for ages since I installed this OS?

How the fuck is this unwanted software?

Fuck you.

My man said "What should I return if the True/False field is left blank?"

WHY WOULD A BOOLEAN BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN TRUE OR FALSE???!!!

I'm gonna have an aneurysm. I shouldn't be educating people on best practices for something that's already been written about time and time again. RESTful philosophy has been documented so much, and all it takes is a quick google search, but noooo! I have to take time out of my day as if I'm a regular old stakeholder to explain that I want the exact thing that I sent in an email two weeks ago. Amazing.

2b || !2b a programmer with a bad sense of humor ?

return false;

$md5 = md5_file($file_uri);
=> Returns false

Mmh...

die(is_readable($file_uri));
=> Returns false

[Mmh intensifies]

if(!is_readable($file_uri)) {
chmod($file_uri, 0777);
}

=> Chmod() returns false

GAAAAH FUCK THIS I CALL IT A DAY

Expect the unexpected (false) 😂

I'm surprised management allows us to write false positive tests just to have high coverage instead of refactoring it first. Time to abandon ship.

Helped somebody learning Arduino (he is new to programming in general)...

I saw this at the top of his file...
I admire his effort tho...

I really dislike when people don't use braces { } on if/else statements.

If(almond.harvestStatus == undefined) almond.harvestMode=false
almond.dropdown = false.

I've noticed when I talk to people I use terms like "true" and "false" a lot. Like "Dude that's totally false". "So true!"
#CantHelpIt💻

Its true unless its javascript, then its false. What the fuck is this? Someone got explanation?

When you debug all day, and at the end only thing that boss sees are 3 line changes in git commit.

Is there a relation with bad long term memory and programmers?

So this just happened... This is a PR I just got, fucking lazy developers...

!false

It's funny cause it's true!

PSA: negate your tests and make sure they fail!

I have what I thought was a weird and slightly paranoid habit. When I write tests sometimes just as a sanity check negate the assertion to make sure the test fails and isn't a false positive. Almost always fails as expected.

But not today! Turns out I had forgotten to wrap my equality check in an assertion so it would always pass. It freaks me out to imagine pushing a test that always passes not just because it doesn't do its job, but could also obscure a bug and trick me into thinking it works differently than it does. Broken tests are the worst!

But it pays to be paranoid.

I tried this on tinder. She was confused and proceeded to un-match me. A !false statement would be to say that I’ve failed at life. 😉

3. rm -rfv /

Spend past 2 days trying to hunt down a bug...
I forgot `0` evaluates as `false` so this statement always returned `false` if `id` was `0` >.>

F*cking backend guys that send empty arrays like [ null ] ...

array.length === 0 -> false

When someone defines a Bool3 type in swift to represent true, false and undefined. Even tho swift already has Optionals as a first class feature. 😳

JS be like:

0 == "0" | true
0 == [] |true

ok... so "0" equals []?

"0" == [] | FALSE

#define TRUE FALSE
//Happy debugging suckers

Everybody relax! False alarm! The website wasn't down, I was still connected to the VPN.

0.1 + 0.2 === 0.3 // false
- You know nothing JS...

just came across the code line as below.

#define TRUE FALSE

and than......😂😂

When a condition is true and false at the same time...

var_dump(0 == "x"); // true
var_dump(!0 == " x"); // true

WTF?!

I started using the === more often...

At first it seemed harsh, but then I learned that he committed code like

if (a == b)
return true;
else
return false;

looking at this resumee. not sure if i want to buy it 🤔

function isBool(input) {
return (mixed_var === true || mixed_var === false);

at least this crap wasn't used anywhere in the code base

#gemoftheday #wtf

I’m so done of getting false errors in Visual Studio

typeof NaN === typeof NaN //false

Why?

Intern: "Is the keyword to allow nullable 'null=True' "
No. It's farnswaggle=False.

tfw a true/false field in the database is set to char instead of boolean.

javaScript:

0 == "0" // true
0 // false
"0" // true

o.0

If(val == true){

Let me tell you a joke: !false

Did you hear the one about !false It's funny coz it's true.

When a programmer plays truth or false, you know he/she will always say true.

I just leave it there.

public enum FileType {
True, False
}

True or False?

A while back a buddy and I were keen on making an MMORPG that for a variety of reasons just didn't work out.

Game development is an exercise in futility unless you have a LOT of time and a LOT of willpower. Unfortunately, where the project would have taken at least both of us, only one of us was able to actually do the work. I'll leave it up to you to figure out which one of us it was :|

It sucks because it was a stellar idea, the art style was going to be amazing, and I had already began working hard on a lot of the music. My best musical work to date, just sitting private on my soundcloud, unused and collecting dust.

Listening to them now still fills me with that glimmer of hope to a degree, but it's bittersweet.

Found this in production code.

For those who doesn’t understand Delphi:
switch (some boolean) {
case false:
// some code
default:
// some code
}

Return code 200
{"success":false,"error":"Your comment couldn't be created, most likely because the comment was blank."}

Devrant, that's bollocks.

This is so TRUE!

Or is it FALSE?

Happy Halloween!
