He'll fit right in there. Japanese infosec is on another _terrible level. They will probably think his anime obsession is weird, though.

been there, done that, would not recommend.

iirc it was a vb gui onto a sybase database and they didnt understand indexes so performance sucked. also they didn't understand xml so the messages going into the system stored data as separated values in a series of notes fields because they wouldnt just add new bodes.

re: numerical string conversion oddities

who the gently caress came up with the bright idea to use + as a string concatenation operator anyway

If you're not gonna use a functional language, at least use C so you are categorically prevented from working with those OO idiots. Namaste.

Just now, I wrote this:

code:

      int startId = loadStartId();
      int endId = processRows(startId);
      
      saveId(endId);

I could have written this:

code:

   saveId(processRows(loadStartId()));

I'm happy that I didn't.

Hello yes I am a terrible programmer. I made my first thing in Python and even though it's terrible it sure didn't stop me from making a GitHub account and publishing it: https://github.com/AnttiKurittu/check

they are both terrible but macros are much, much, much worse

computer toucher posted:

so should I do an "import from __future__ print_function" and do a search/replace to change "print x" to "print(x)"?

Will it run in python 3 after that? Since I thought I'm writing this with Pyhton 2.7.11 I could safely use the old print function.

Are there some other advantages? I'm really still in the "hmm how do I open a file better google this"-stage.

the last thing I wrote was in PHP so print "lol" just rolls out naturally from these poo poo-encrusted fingers.

still gently caress inheritance

Powerful Two-Hander posted:

ffffuck why would you create a class that contains fields then only ever create instances of it so you can call its methods which all return lists of the class itself

what the actual gently caress. why not just create a struct and return lists of that and put the methods in a namespace that makes some goddamn sense instead of it being in the "models" namespace and accessing them by creating instances of the model every single time

terrible programmer question of the evening:

in python, i have for loops that do things, and for some of them i've set

code:

print "."

so its not all dead all the time. during heavier tasks though it just dies and then shits out a wall of dots once done. that's just python, or anything i can do about it without something ridiculous like printing on a different thread?

It's just a char[].

BTW, if you ever wonder if you should learn C, you should. It'll make you more careful and you'll have a newfound appreciation for how much even the crappiest high-level language does for you.
I think it's time it was actually full of chars.

no, char foo[] vs. char *foo shouldn't affect the code generation at all

I've been using the intellij rust plugin for about a month and I can confirm that it's good. definitely more powerful than the current RLS setups.

only weird thing is that it's kinda fucky about text in a way that can only be experienced. i think it might be a conflict with intellij vim but I'm not turning off vim mode to find out
