Did this on my first programming exam.
int index = 0
int value = 0
try {
while true {
value += array[index]
index++
}
} catch NullPointerException {
System.out.print("Sum: " + value)
}
The task was to add together all numbers in an array.
I somehow aced the exam, but got called in to teachers office this is not the way to use exceptions.7 -
A coworker was working on some code and wrote two return statements and asked a senior developer why the second value wasn't being returned.7

1) I accepted this job for way way less money than market value.
2) Approached boss about having performance review because I had been here over 12 months and no one brought it up to me.
3) Had performance review where they offered a big raise (12% but still way under market value)
4) I countered asking for market value and showed aggregate research (30% increase)
5) A week later we meet again and they offer 23%.
6) That's where we ended at, pretty surprised they offered that much, but glad. I wasn't looking forward to looking at other jobs to catch up to market value.
7) Feeling pretty good considering I've never negotiated anything before.7 -

!Rant But after seeing this I laughed like hell I need to share this to all my dev folks.
Client: “Our next requirement, we need an elephant”
IT Team: But why don’t you adjust with a buffalo, even it is big…. and black?”
Client: No, we need an elephant only.
IT Team: Fine, I understand your requirement. But our system supports only a buffalo…
Client:We need only an elephant!
IT Team: Ok, let me see if I can customize it for you”
At the Offshore Development Centre :
BA – Client wants a big black four legged animal, long tail, less hair. Having trunk is mandatory. The same was documented, signed off and sent to offshore for development! Based on requirement all features are supported in base product (as buffalo), for trunk alone a separate customization is done.
Finally the customization is shown to client, and the client faints
Addon to this, testers completed their test case as above

Funny how on Facebook (which I left years ago) I used to never get any likes for anything I wrote, even if it was meaningful.
Then I would look at the feeds of my friends and they would get ++'s for mainly useless and uninspired pop-culture reposts or posts of high narcissim.
It's ironic how they praised garbage rather than value.
I'm glad that on Devrant I at least get ++'s, indicating that people can relate to me. On Facebook, people faux-relate based on narcissim and faux-culture.

Currently working as student part timer on a company that I really like.
When I'll finish my bachelor's degree, I will have been there for about 2-3 Years, additional to my 5 years working prior to that as a developer.
Today I learned, that our company doesn't usually pay the market price for devs (not a huge company, 150 employees, so it's understandable).
So now I don't know what to shoot for when discussing a raise after my degree. Should I still aim for market price? Should I argue with that and hope for the best?
I'm really unsure about that stuff...4 -

I have not researched it so I'm not sure if this is a widely known thing but I figured out a sort of hacky way to get a max integer value:

int main(){
unsigned int a = 0;
a--;
std::cout << a / 2 << std::endl;

3. Yes (Developer happiness, retention and for point 2)27 -

I know most of you know this, but after having dealt with both recruiters and real companies I can safely say that recruiters are of no practical value.
I've wasted countless months of my life interacting with recruiters and getting nothing out of them. To me it seems they're only after fluffing their client base.
The only time I got a job was through the real companies themselves.

Come up with a bad version of flipping a bool's value. (value = !value)
I'll start with a bad way of doing it in C# (.NET):
char[] bca = boolWert.ToString();
if (bca.Length == 4 && bca[0] == 't' && bca[1] == 'r' && bca[2] == 'u' && bca[3] == 'e')
{
boolWert = !bool.Parse($"{bca[0]}{bca[1]}{bca[2]}{bca[3]}");
}
else if (bca.Length == 5 && bca[0] == 'f' && bca[1] == 'a' && bca[2] == 'l' && bca[3] == 's' && bca[4] == 'e')
{
boolWert = !bool.Parse($"{bca[0]}{bca[1]}{bca[2]}{bca[3]}{bca[4]}");
}

What's your opinion on the error-value vs try-catch debate?
I'm usually on the error-value side of things.
Its the preferred error-handling in Go and the pretty much only decent solution in C.
Also, frequently thrown exceptions seem to impose a larger overhead than the constant checking of the error-value.23 -
Today I learned that for boolean HTML attributes, they are considered true if they're present on the element at all, regardless of their value. And that as a rule, you should specify the empty string("") in value.

Today I had an, argument with my C# teacher because he believes that reference types are passed by value
I posted a link on Facebook to MSDNs page about it, but somehow some guy in my class still argued for it being pass by value. The reason he says so is because the value is the reference, even though it's quite literally a reference.
It's a reference to a variable rather than, a value.

I just love PHP. You can do so much awesome stuff with it. Here, let me show you:
How to READ a private member of an object:
$reader = \Closure::bind(function ($instance, $name) {
return $instance->{$name};
}, null, $instance);
$value = $reader($instance, $name);
How to WRITE a private member of an object:
$writer = \Closure::bind(function ($instance, $name, $value) {
$instance->{$name} = $value;
}, null, $instance);
$writer($instance, $name, $value);

Just a short reply to whoever deleted his rant because he didn't read the JS docs.
map is a map. You don't just dump a function call into there. You map the value to el and the value is then set to the function result.
This works:

Some Java code I looked through to figure out how to accurately rework a mapping of value intervals to status colors:
• 16 levels of indentation
• Calls an instance method one line before a null-check
• Assigns that same value to a new variable and null-checks it again
• Insistently loops over existing HashMaps' entry sets to find a value by key
• Stringifies a Gson object, parses back the string and then null-checks the result.
• Mixes up the 'leq' and 'geq' comparison operators twice, which is why I went to check the implementation in the first place.
And this wasn't even legacy code. It's from last year.1 -

Hacky code post:
property var value: if(editing || !editing) function(othervalue)
I am coding in a property system that only updates an expression if a variable involved emits a signal. Well the function won't get called unless I change a value. I also want to "value" to be updated when editing changes. I also want it to update even if editing doesn't change. So the or-ing of the state of editing.
The result is the function gets called when object is initialized. Then when the editing flag changes it gets updated again. The workaround of doing this is much worse and requires more hacky code. So I am resigned myself to just or-negating the editing value.10 -

Questions that are bothering me:
When a function that returns void returns, is any value from the stack frame copied into the register?
Is the return address in the stack frame even allocated, or is it nullptr?
Could a void function theoretically return a value if you hacked one into the frame?
Does the register even know to expect a value from a void function? If so, where is the logic for this and what is difference between a void and non-void function return at the stack frame & register level?
Any good books on this stuff?2 -
Please share your thoughts on Dependabot security alerts on Github, more specifically for NPM packages in package-lock.json.
In 99% of cases I've found them useless as:
- package-lock.json is in the repo, but not in the NPM package (=no value to users)
- most of the updates relate to devDependencies (=no value to users)
- it clutters the git history (and changelog if it is auto-generated) with a batch of patch updates (updated depx to .1, .2, .3) while the only important thing in the next release notes is the delta (updated depx from .1 to .3) (=no value to users)10 -

Found 20 similiar selects to get values which are summed up afterwards into three different variables. Thought this can be done in three selects with "sum", but then i found the dumbest thing is this function:
V1, V2 have the values from the selects
V3 is ja given value
X is the return value
the function returns another value
help = functionCall(parameter) - V1 -V2
X= help + V1 + V2 +V3
WTF im mean it does the selects for nothing...
X = functionCall(parameter) + V3 -

Had a php float value that I needed to use as a string, so I typecasted it.
Later on in the code I need the value again but now it was a string.
Typecasted it back to a floating point.
My colleague almost killed me when he found out what caused the miscalculations.2 -

I'm working with an xml schema that effectively emulates xml... inside xml...
It looks like this
<child>
<tag>ABC</tag>
<value>DEF</value>
</child>
I don't event want to get started on how it handles child elements.
This is some next level abstraction hell.
And it's not like it can't use normal XML tags. In other parts of the project it uses a slightly more sane schema.5 -

Got bored while pushing a large unity project, set Nice=-15

Please look at this code, I wanna know why the $ and {} was added to the alert method to pop up the key and value of user.
what is their functionality there?
let user = {
name: "John",
age: 30
};
// loop over keys-and-values
for (let [key, value] of Object.entries(user)) {
alert(`${key}:${value}`); // name:John, then age:30

I think if you are a beginner and you want to learn to program it's always better to look at the current technologies in the industry. This does not only apply to beginners, even those who are already in the industry as this may help to decide which language or framework you want to learn. In order for you to decide you need to know the market trend and the stability. I think the following links can help quite a lot.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck off you bloody infamous basterds flattening their fat asses at Microsoft.
I wasted half of my dev day to configure my wcf rest-api to return an enumeration property as string instead of enum index as integer.
There is actually no out-of-the-box attribute option to trigger the unholy built-in json serializer to shit out the currently set enum value as a pile of characters clenched together into a string.
I could vomit of pure happiness.
And yes.
I know about that StringEnumConverter that can be used in the JsonConvert Attribute.
Problem is, that this shit isn't triggered, no matter what I do, since the package from Newtonsoft isn't used by my wcf service as a standard serializer.
And there is no simple and stable way to replace the standard json serializer.
Christ, almighty!

If you have a method which returns a value from an array. What do you prefer in a case when the item is not found?
A)Throw an exception
B)return null
C)return a special value like a null object or some primitive type edge value like Integer.MIN_VALUE14 -
"Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value"
What dev thought this would be a good idea in Swift? Sometimes I hear the compiler's thoughts as it comes across this:
1. The dev explicitly told me this value would be optional.
2. I have a record from the database, and I see a 'nil' in the column for this value.
3. That's not "None" , Oh my god, I need there to be an explicit "None<CustomType>".
4. Shit shit shit shit. Oh my god.

Came across a bug in our code today where we were trying to store to large of a value in a database field. Turns out we intentionally set the value to a huge number just so that we could tell another process farther down the line that the object containing it needed to be deleted...Really??? Lol

So I've spent some time learning a little about the halting problem, and it's quite fascinating. I tried to simplify it down to these few functions. What do you guys think? Obviously, psuedo-code, so don't get too caught up on the syntax 😆
The Halting Problem:
public String doesItHalt(Callable function){
...
if (...){
return "Yes"
} else {
return "No"
}
}
public int someFunctionFooThatHalts(){
...
}
public int someFunctionFooThatDoesNotHalt(){
...
}
public String inverseAnswer(value){
if (value == "Yes"){
return "No"
}
if (value == "No"){
return "Yes"
}
}
public String inverseHalts(Callable function){
return inverseAnswer(doesItHalt(function))
}
————————————————————————————
$ doesItHalt(someFunctionFooThatHalts)
Yes
$ doesItHalt(someFunctionFooThatDoesNotHalt)
No
$ inverseHalts(someFunctionFooThatHalts)
No
$ inverseHalts(someFunctionFooThatDoesNotHalt)
Yes
$ doesItHalt(inverseHalts(doesItHalt))

tldr: Fuck webpack with a big rusty pipe.
I have a class and in the construct a method is called with an imported value as the argument. This imported value is declared like this:
export const EXT = 'whatthef';
Seems like webpack moves things around in such a way that this constant isn't aceasable in all contexts.
Spent a good 4 hours figuring that out 🙃2 -
Wanna get the next value of a sequence in Oracle? Oh just do :

Yeah thanks Oracle...1 -

Alright so I have a question, hopefully this is the right platform to ask. As an entry level software developer I have trouble knowing my value. So I was wondering what an entry level developer is expected to do on their first job straight out of college. What responsibilities do they or should they have. And what kind of work are they expected to do? For example should they be building applications from start to finish or more smaller tasked work or bug fixes. Thoughts?3

Tried to use scipy's UniveriateSpline on some (x,y) coordinates that I have and it throws errors because I have multiple x values with different y value. UniveriateSpline expects all x values to be incresasing. Problem is I want to use these values, otherwise the result might be different than expected. B-Splines shouldn't be dependent on this condition or have I missed something in my studies? Documentation doesn't tell me anything.🙄 -

I declared a boolean variable to be public static in my android activity and assigned a false value to it outside the onCreate.
only one method can change its value to true, so once its executed
the value of the boolean variable was set to true even on a new launch after finishing the activity.
didn't know why but it happened.
solved it by assigning a false value in the onCreate method. -
Anybody know how I could make an RxJS observable without RxJS?
I'm working on a library and I need it to be small (So including RxJS isn't really viable), run in the browser (IDK if Browserify will work for RxJS), and be fast. I need a way for a given element to 'listen' (or in RxJS terms, 'subscribe') to a value and update its text content whenever the value changes.
My current implementation is just a interval loop that checks if the previous value is the same as the current one, and if it isn't, it modifies the DOM.6 -
New to AWS, is my best option for having a integer value (maximum number of items to process) that I can override for a lambda step function
to read a value from an S3 bucket where I can overwrite the value if I want to change it. This seems silly and I feel silly as I expect my situation should be simple and not novel at all.
For some reason I expected I could use an environment variable, but didn't see an option to overwrite it in the web GUI https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/...2 -

Hi, in my JS project I have to update a variable value that is getting a text input's value in order to use it dynamically with different functions across my program. What would be the best approach to doing this?
Should I make a function that updates the variable for every character typed or should I simply get the value when the function is called?
Thanks!2 -
I hate it when devs use value attribute instead of place holder especially when you know that input text is definitely going to change.
