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;
}
}
}

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*

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

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

*not a real story*

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

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

Wtf?

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

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

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 🤦‍♂️

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

This rant is False.

True | | False

#define TRUE false

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

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

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
}

?notFullScreen=false

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.

Today at work while reading legacy code:

do {
...
} while(false)

Wanna cry and laugh at the same time

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

#define TRUE FALSE

Repost from r/programmerHumor

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

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 🤘🤘🤘

Developers who writes something similar

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

else { return false; }

deserves a special room in hell.

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

What's the point?

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

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

NaN === NaN

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

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

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

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

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;
}

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

False Hope 😑

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

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

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

🙏🙏

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 😊

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

if (obj == null == false)

Dude, what the fuck is wrong with you?

bool DDD = true;
if (DDD == true && DDD == false) {
//some code
}
//when I will have an option to be a compiler i will don't allow to compile that

Took me 2hrs of my life

}

Programming in a nutshell

The alarming rate of false news these days...

The moment you realize your time assessment was wrong again.

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");

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.

Oh Docker, why do you give me false hope...

i always thought that making a simple game is easy until i saw the source code for the dynosaur game you have in chrome when your internet is down

I really think we should have a "misleading or false" reason for --, or some other way to deal with fake news that generally plague internet forums.

Conference tickets are overpriced

true or false?

The awkward moment when AVG flags your newly created executable as a Trojan 😓

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.

Thank you devRant algorithm 😂

return true;

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...

Ok , so True is just !False

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

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

JavaScript logic:

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

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

Midnight thoughts:

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

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

Yet again

If foo():
return True
else:
return False

Agrrr!!11

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;
}

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?

This is hilarious

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

Think of something more retarded than this:

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

while (deadInside)
{
me.drink(coffee);
if (thirstLevel == 0)
{
deadInside = false;
}
}

If (post.text.contains("Chuck Norris"))
{
post.visible = false;
}

When you search for this error during 3 hours

if (false);
{
printf("why u right ?");
}

And it was just the first lines comma

#define TRUE FALSE

happy debugging! ! 😈😈😈

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

Is it just me or devrant has a bug of showing false notification badge?
It's stuck on this number even though I don't have any new notifications

I wrote this code last month...

def func(is_admin, user):
is_admin = is_admin or False
user = user # so pro much wow
return is_admin ^ user

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

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.

return false;

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.

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.

$md5 = md5_file($file_uri);

Mmh...

}

GAAAAH FUCK THIS I CALL IT A DAY

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💻

Going to make a new programming language, positive# .

Where the default value of a Boolean is true instead of false.

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

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.

Expect the unexpected (false) 😂

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. 😉

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

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

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.

//Girlfriend asks question
If(answer != desiredanswer){
return false;
}

if false? if false what? (false is just not defined, but this is the sort of shit I come across in the twig-theme-saas world, makes me angry)

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

Just found this gem:

<a href="..." onclick="if (! confirm("Are you sure you want to log out?")) return false;">Log out</a>

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

array.length === 0 -> false

JS be like:

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

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

"0" == [] | FALSE

just came across the code line as below.

#define TRUE FALSE

and than......😂😂

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

return in_array($boolean, [true, false]); //LOL

How to deal with legacy code when you see such thing:

1. Ctrl+A
2. Del
3. rm -rfv /

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

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

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. 😳

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...

typeof NaN === typeof NaN //false

Why?

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

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

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

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

#gemoftheday #wtf

bool isTrue(bool val){
If(val == true){
return true;
}
else if(val == false){
return false;
}
else{
cout<<"Wrong value";
}
Function isTrue is the future ! 😂😂😂

True or False?

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

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

Found this in production code.

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

javaScript:

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

o.0

Let me tell you a joke: !false

I just leave it there.

public enum FileType {
True, False
}

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

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

Devrant, that's bollocks.

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

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

This is so TRUE!

Or is it FALSE?

Happy Halloween!

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.

Why would anyone use -1 for true and 0 for false in a database.

Booleans people!!! FFS

Making migration of old project a real PITA

Failed asserting that false is true.

No shit sherlock ;/

Just got intern to “help me” on project. Told him to install nodeJs and run ‘npm install’ inside project folder that he pulled from git.

He ended up running ‘npm install’ inside C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs

Don’t have slightest clue how he got this idea, ... I just wanted to smash my head through window by that point. Similar shit repeated whole day long.

The worst thing is a false positive.

Again found myself before deadline. My excuse? I'm more productive during the deadline rush :D
How everyone else sees it: you fucked up
What do I say to myself: never again!!!
```

return ((variable == 1) ? true : false)

End result, true is true

What is NaN?
Baby, don't undefined me...
Don't null me...
