Close but no cigar. Async mode can be writing multiple files at once. It shits on everything it is writing at the time. The code explicitly bombs on error. For some reason. Like, it singles that error out.

Everyone should be deeply ashamed of their code and make every attempt to conceal it. If you expose it to the open air, people will laugh and ridicule you, and deservedly so. Only a small amount of code that has ever been written is worth looking at, and the rest is highly corrosive and radioactive and should be kept in a lead container inside a concrete sarcophagus rather than on github where people might accidentally look at it.

Hahaha I think this is about right. That social coding stuff is like some act of vanity to be head of the dog pack. poo poo on the ground and act all proud of it, and just go on the offensive if somebody says your poo poo or your rear end stinks. But generally one's code starts to gather flies the moment it has left their short-term memory. But we'll say I'm trying to recover from the attitude of just mocking everything, because it just falls into that whole "rewrite everything" kind of vibe you see, and we saw it in the thread just recently. But I know I couldn't expect that from others, so to some extent I'm still a little afraid to post code.

That being said, I'd like to share a horror anyways! I was trying to get a USB relay to be software-controlled. It came with a Windows GUI application that kind of, sort of worked, but it had quirks. It would sometimes just post "Unspecified Error" in a dialog box when trying to use it. It forced you to wait 5 seconds before doing a power cycle with the relay by showing a dialog box "Wait X seconds" if you tried to switch too soon. Like, if you turned it off and 2 seconds later, you wanted to turn it back on, you'd get "Wait 3 seconds." They could have, you know, just put that wait time into the GUI. It would also sometimes just fail to detect the stupid relay. You could sometimes fix this by fidgeting and fumbling around with it on a different USB port. So we figured we could do that software better, and we kind of had to if we wanted to control it hands-free.

I looked at their SDK, which was basically the source code for that project. The project was a Visual C++ 2008 project, and it came with the bin\Release path already existing, so if you tried to build it, it would tell you it was already up-to-date unless you cleaned it up first. Yeah, that is in the installer's archive. It had a ReadMe.txt, which I've learned by now whenever you see that in this poo poo, it's just the "The Windows App Wizard slid all these files out of its rear end and this is what you should put in them." That's just the stub you get when creating a default project. Of course it had no useful information. I've learned that when I see these, the code is probably terrible. So the real horrors began.

The relay comes up in device manager as a USB->serial adapter, COM port and all. I was expecting to see the application doing serial I/O. But no, it would open the USB device as a raw USB device, using the vendor and product IDs, and transact with it using ioctl wrappers! Okay, fine, maybe that was a way to allow two programs to access the port at once, since COM ports block. But if you opened up two instances of this program, well, God help you.

Second, most of the commands were single-byte, hex sequences. Here is how they put a control code in one of their buffers:

code:

butt = "9a";
int as_code = strtol(butt, NULL, 16);
buffer[0] = as_code;

Instead of, you know:

code:

buffer[0] = 0x9a;

The test program included a time and calendar thing so you could schedule a time for the relay to toggle. Halfway through the code, I saw it was doing something like hosting its own little Microsoft Access database and submitting SQL to it to schedule and check these times. I just about shat my pants when I started to see "SELECT *...." right in all that.

There was some shorter sample code I had found to talk to the device, and that was rather straight-forward. The problem was that if any other USB ports on the host PC changed, whether adding or removing a device, the relay would just turn off. Plug in a new keyboard, turn off. Unplug a thumb drive, turn off. The test application didn't do that, and I wanted to know why, but I knew it wasn't actually using the USB-serial driver as serial device, so I couldn't snoop it that way. It was time for the software USB protocol analyzer! I bring that thing up and start capturing. It was very odd to see such a large volume of traffic, and then I realized what it was doing.

In the GUI example, if you told the relay to turn on, this program would just constantly poll that port and tell it, "Turn on turn on turn on turn on turn on turn on turn on turn on turn on turn on turn on." Similarly, if you told the relay to open and turn off the power, it would poll the port with "Turn off turn off turn off turn off turn off turn off turn off turn off turn off turn off." So it wasn't that it actually did it any better, it just wasn't obvious. It was also pretty clear to me they knew about the problem and decided this was the solution. So if you were running it and, say, plugged in a thumb drive to the same host PC, it would be like "Turn on turn on turn on turn on turn on turn on turn on [Remove thumb drive and it shuts off for a split second] turn on turn on turn on turn on turn on." So if you had a computer on that thing, you'd realize it had rebooted, but when you looked at the relay, it would appear that it was on and everything was okay.

Seriously, what the flying gently caress?

The End.

Found this little gem while refactoring some code. It's not really a standalone method, actually part of a much longer method that is equally convoluted.

Java code:

List<Long> filterFooList(List<Long> longsToSelectFrom) {
	List<Long> fooList = getFooList();

	if (null == longsToSelectFrom) {
		log.printWarning("No Foos_provided_to_this_method!!!");
		return null;
	}
	else {
		if (longsToSelectFrom.size() < 1) {
			return null;
		}
		log.printDebug("Foos_provided_to_this_method: " + longsToSelectFrom.size());
				int j=1;
				for (Long foo: longsToSelectFrom) {
					log.printDebug("Foo_value_provided_to_this_method#" + j+ ":" + foo);
					++j;
				}
	}

	fooList.retainAll(longsToSelectFrom);

	return fooList;
}

While the names have been changed, the whitespace is still the same.

This is exactly why the use of null in place of a collection should be loving banned. There's really no reason that you can't just return an empty collection instead, which would really clean up a lot of the code that deals with that poo poo.

If you want to force the caller to deal with something, throw an exception. If you want the caller to be able to write clean and obvious code yet still work correctly, return an empty collection. If you want the worst of both worlds, be an idiot and return null.

EEs code is generally either sad or depressing, but in my experience this isn't why. There are a lot of people out there who graduated in the late 80s or early 90s who drank a full pitcher of the contemporary OO kool-aid who wind up trying to implement something like GObject on an AVR or PIC.

Imagine Martin Fowler stamping on a human face, forever.

(and of course there are the far more common EEs who aren't working at too high or low a level of abstraction, but rather are just not experienced with coding and thus write really repetitive code with obvious mistakes, but who think this must be a reasonable way to write programs because hey we got it to mostly work the last three times! This is a common pattern in production support people who get roped into writing some automation or calibration software as well, although they have the added bonus of Visual Basic inspired horrors)

Generally this is the kind of thing I do in my day job, but I have to say that one circumstance was by far the singular worst one I had ever seen. However they interfaced with USB was so bad that even the hardware side of their product was rendered useless.

A lot of my experience with contemporary electrical engineers is that they took a course on something usually involving C and maybe scientific applications. They never learned data structures, or any structure at all for that matter. So they think that is all that programming is, and they think that all programming languages are C. How this manifests can vary. Some of them do look down upon "software people" as if those people just took that same programming course over and over in college or something. Others are not full of themselves, but aren't interested in improving either, so you get "works on my machine" galore. Then there are some others that are generally interested in improving and work towards it.
