How to get max value of an integer

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.

Still the best example of
pass by value vs pass by reference

The worst Code I saw was

if (value != null ) {
return value;
} else {
return null;
}

I was suppose to review this code.

if (null != value) {
return value;
} else {
return null;
}

null vs undefined

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.

Reference vs value ;)

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.

"Can you help me make an app? I've got this perfect idea, but I can't tell you what it is until you've said yes."

SIGH. I wish these people knew that perfect ideas are worthless, there are plenty of them. Perfect executions of good ideas are what has value.

In the last 48 hours Bitcoin has gained about 2.000 USD in value. (Now ~12500$)

WHAT THE FUCK

And I remember this summer when Bitcoin was at about 4000 and everybody said "naaah I'd rather not invest in Bitcoin now, it will fall in value soon"

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

This is what happens when you decide to send error messages as url value

Working with guy, who don't know how to use git ☺️🔫

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.

Shrug.

Okay so someone asked me to explain difference between an iPad & PC & i did it something like this:

Underestimating the value of C, and not learning it properly

Few days ago I wrote function that finds occurrence of value in array:

function findOccurrence(value, array) {
for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
if (value === array[I]) return true;
}
return false;
}

But there's already [].includes() function in JavaScript.

Coolest bug I ever found was the temperature sensor connected to a raspberry pi giving me -40 as a value.

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...

Do you think refactoring code adds value?

Pick one:

1. Hard No (Only refactor when there is a dollar value associated with it, i.e new feature depends on it).

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

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:

-Declare an unsigned int.
-Subtract 1
-Divide 2

That is your max signed int value

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

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]}");
}
else throw new Exception("y e s");

True programmer know the value of each bit!

Why do all these quantum computers I see look like steampunk chandeliers?

And what's the real value going to be?

I fix antique code for a living and regularly come across code like this, and this is actually the good stuff!

Worst usecase for a goto statement? What do you think?

  int sDDIO::recvCount(int bitNumber){

  if (bitNumber < 0 || bitNumber > 15) return 0;   //ValidatebitNumber which has to be 0-15

  //Send count request

  if (!(send(String::Format(L"#{0:X2}{1}\r", id, bitNumber)) && flushTx())){

bad:   //Return 0 if something went wrong

  return 0;

}

  String^ s = recv(L"\r");   //Receive request data

  if (s->Length != 9) goto bad;   //Validate lenght

s = s->Substring(3, 5);   //Take only relevant bits

 

  int value;   //Try to parse value and send to bad if fails

  bool result = Int32::TryParse(s, value);

  if (!result) goto bad;

 

  int count = value - _lastCount[bitNumber];   //Maximumpossible count on Moxa is 65535.

  if (count < 0) count += 65536;   //If the limit reached, the counter resets to 0

_lastCount[bitNumber] = value;   //This avoids loosing count if the 1st request was

  //made at 65530 and the 2nd request was made at 5

  return count;

}

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.

After I read clean code I talked to a fellow developer about some concepts. Later I reviewed some code of him and he clearly got the concept (not)

return true;
else
return false;
}

People are so cheap. I hear people say things like "Frontend Masters is too expensive." I'm pretty sure that I just got 2k of value in the last 3 hours... Maybe those people aren't 'cheap' per say - but more generally, don't understand the concept of value. I'm sure they see that attribute in their clients, but never themselves. Better for me I suppose!

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.

This wounds me on a logic level since everywhere else in JS, "" is false.

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);

See? Just like that. This is really amazing stuff. I don't know of any other languages that allow this.

Still trying to understand a good old pile of legacy:

function isValidDate($value) {
if ($value == "" || ($value == 0 && is_numeric($value)) {
return true;
}
// goes on to check if value is some number between 2000 and current year
}

"Oh I need to do something with the return value. Callback"
"Oh I need to do something with that value too. Another callback..."
"Oh, again. Another callback"
"I should have thought about this more beforehand..."

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.

```js

});
```

The function above change its argument's value, which is terrible thing to do, since it will also change the original value passed to the function. A variable's value for example. Making it an impure function.

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:
new Array(38).fill("10").map(el => parseInt(el));

Failing to return a value in a function result in a warning in gcc. Why isn't this considered an extremely dangerous error?

I can't believe that a modern language like JS is still lacking basic utilities like removing something from an array by value

When both AI and search engine results are getting worse over time, will devs and users finally value knowledge and learning again?

Nothing (software or other) has an objective value, it just depends who you sell it to.

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.

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?

A Foreign Key made reference to Primary Key of another table. But what's the point? Can't I simply use a value and select requested data where TableA value is equal to TableB value?
Sorry if I didn't explain it well, I'm so confused lmao

It's really important to have a portfolio?
What's the value of a beautifull and fullfill portfolio? How it can help?

Passing by value SUCKS!

Thank you for making a small change huge, java.

Oh shit! My previous rant is super stupid! Fuck me.

Its almost like:

isalpha (value);

And asking why are you putting the value if you already know. 😐 Now I understood it's General way of showing things. Noob issues! 😬

Now I understood how people overreact just because they didn't think for a second.

Stupid me. 🙈

Not sure if other programming languages class a Boolean as an integer value buuuuuuut...

The amount of times I've seen people do code such as...

if(value == true) {
variable = "blah blah";
} else if(value == false) {
variable = "blah";
}

Instead of doing a simple 1D array and going...

variable = strings[value];

It drives me crazy, such a small thing that has no real benefit but... Ugh... Whyyyyyyy

I had to optimize a SQL-Query and i was able to cut the amount of time in half.

The business part of the company said it is still too slow, so i researched deeper and looked into the called functions which are used in every part where to claculate value X.

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

What happens on Friday, 11 April 2262 23:47:16.855, to the Unix timestamp? It arrives to the maximum value

Is there a Map like class in Java that has

getKey(value), getValue(key).

Guess not hard to implement but why reinvent the wheel..

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)

The NASA website sends back a header called X-launch-status. Right now it has the value “go flight!”

Spent 4 hours trying to make a query work and failed miserably.

Turns out I was using inverted commas around the value.

What the ....

There was a rant here from someone about being let down by the people that hired them...

I was commenting but the rant was deleted.

I feel you friend. Leave to another place where you're trusted and valued.
