A pointer is just an address of some memory. Memory is what you make if it. I hope that makes it clear.

i found a site that used register_globals today, it was just a random site on the net i used it to put form submit POST data into a GET query string nothing malicious but seriously gently caress those guys for making my job easier, cuz, it was a cute hack at the moment to send a link that had form post data in the URI but yeah dont do that

attn all lovely programmers, especially sulk: the more you do your work, the better you will get at it. there is a general expectation in the programming industry that you will be left to your own devices to figure a lot of poo poo out on your own with minimal help from your boss, even if you're a noob. it sucks but it gets better and you just have to use whatever resources you get given to the best of your ability. if your requirements are vague, press your boss to be more specific. then stop being a little bitch and do your work.

I used to be pretty good at programming but now I hate it so I just do whatever because the answer to every loving architecture question is "who loving cares, we're gonna throw it out in a year or two anyway, do whatever the gently caress you want"

why is 99% of coding doing the same poo poo that's been done five billion times include std.io no poo poo. just assume it please compiler. it's as redundant as saying hi and goodbye to people you see every day

java is call by value. objects are stored as reference. in a pass by reference language you can write a swap function. actual languages that are pass by ref: perl

chumpchous posted:my company has been asking me if i want to move over to development full time. it's tempting because i honestly enjoy it a lot more than my real job (editing/coloring), but then i go into cavern of cobol or stack overflow and realize how hilariously underqualified i am to do any kind of real programming work. i have no qualifications to do programming. most programmers have no idea what they are doing. if you can write a for loop, and can count you are doing better than many people i've interviewed. it is much easier to be a programmer if you stop caring about the quality of work you produce. if you get more money and have more fun doing code, just do it and drink yourself into oblivion to deal with the insecurity and ennui

echinopsis posted:can't pointers to pointers to pointers be used for some fancy efficient tricky code? pointers to pointers could be useful if for some reason you want to pass a pointer through an algorithm which modifies it. i would discourage you from doing this. The simplest form of a quine is having a string version of the program with a blank spot where the stringified version ought to be. The body of the program just outputs that stringified version twice, once without quotes and once with quotes in the correct spot. FamDav fucked around with this message at 08:38 on May 8, 2013 |

Programming is better suited to being taught by means of apprenticeships rather than degrees this is how people learn to program in practice anyway, just in an informal and inefficient way

tef posted:java is call by value. objects are stored as reference. yeah sorry I was real tired. I mentioned actual pass by reference in my second post in passing but basically I'm dumb. also I've never used perl or other pass-by-reference languages so that's my excuse. (fun fact: I originally described java as being universally pass-by-value, then I went back and edited it into the current state because if passing references by value isn't pass-by-reference, what is????)

I left industry about a year ago because i was tired of crystal reports and db query writing. Now I'm in consulting doing crystal reports and db query writing. I sit in my driveway when I get home wondering if I should go inside or just hit the road and drive off a bridge so my wife and child can live off my life insurance for a few decades until she finds a husband that isn't a terrible husk of a human being with no purpose but to fix some reports that no one is going to see except some middle manager in the middle of nowhere. They probably won't even save the PDF after viewing. finally, a thread for me.
