//please set the following flags: if (this.getAge() 23) {
this.jobSecurity(true);
this.jobCompetition(false); }
Horrible code.
You should explain why you'll be setting stuff not asking someone to set it.
Why are you using the this reference?
The method names should really be given the "set" prefix.
Don't use magic numbers, that "23" should be at least a constant. Maybe even better would be a property (or the equivalent for whatever language you're using.)
The context of the current object for age and then job security and competition seem bad, you should consider refactoring your code so perhaps something like getJobMarket().clearCompitetion();
I'll give you a pass on the HTML stripping the '<' sign. At least I think that is what you intended, but you're code is very unclear so I'm not positive.
seriously, most people, in the us, know what those tubes are, or have forgotten and cannot blame the US education system. I'm pretty sure most schools/states here have sex ed, and if they don't, it's their local system's fault, not some right wing conspiracy that's ruining all the US. And for the record i received my sex ed at a catholic school.
I should probably add that i 100% agree with this statement
I think that would be misguided. The idea of programming as a semiskilled task, practiced by people with a few months' training, is dangerous. We wouldn't tolerate plumbers or accountants that poorly educated. We don't have as an aim that architecture (of buildings) and engineering (of bridges and trains) should become more accessible to people with progressively less training. Indeed, one serious problem is that currently, too many software developers are undereducated and undertrained.
I do not believe that a paradigm completely replaces previous paradigms in one revolutionary moment (or "shift"). Instead, each programming paradigm adds to what worked previously
I think that line explains a thing or two about C++..
He then goes on to say that Java and C# go on to further this, and I don't believe that. Java (and my C# experience is limited, but I believe it applies to C# as well), does not augment C/C++. In fact wasn't it originally called C++-? Java did shift the paradigm, and as a java developer, I am thankful.
It's funny, morons like yourself were constantly telling us about all the evil WMDs Saddam had and how that was all the justification they needed to go to war.
Saddam had WMD's. That is not questionable. The question is whether or not he still had them. Now if you're saddam and you have WMD's are you going to magically destroy them and not try and prove that you destroyed them? And it wasn't just the US that thought he had them, the British intelligence thought so as well.
I'd like to know if you have perhaps only recently learned to read ? Maybe you are deaf ? If not you'd have noticed an awful lot of people telling you before the Iraq war that it was very unlikely Saddam had any WMDs at all and even if he did even less likely that he'd ever use them on the US.
He wouldn't sell them? he wouldn't try to use them to his advantage? He would just let them sit there? What would you do with them?
The current situation in Iraq is for all intents and purposes a civil war, the insurgents are mainly involved in killing each other rather than Americans. The fact that America is present makes a handy recruiting tool to forces on both sides. The American administration is refusing to admit there is a civil war because it would then look like their entire Iraq policy has been a disaster
You know the polls that I have seen that come from Iraq are a lot more positive than you would believe from reading/., as well as more negative that you would believe listening to rumsfield. Here's the thing, we really do not know, if this will be a good thing, in the long term for Iraq and for the middle east, or a bad thing. In 50 years, Iraqi's may look back at this war as a great thing or maybe as a total disaster. Nobody really knows (and if you really can somehow.. you're wasting your time reading slashdot when you could be out making millions by predicting the future).
i have my doubts jonkatz created an account so he could maybe use it in the future (because katz was an editor well after i got here and I'm 6 digit). Plus I happen to like zonk's postings unlike katz:) (which probably explains why i'm responding)
well that just makes you a big man don't it? If you're too good to respond/ don't want to, fine. But don't post and act like it's so obvious he's wrong when you won't even argue the point.
it took me 3 months to get my first in person interview, and they ended up hiring me. I started my search end of april last year. Not sure if that helps.. btw only 3-4 per week? I think you need to up the quota:)
BTW i had a 2.4x GPA. One thing i did do, was outside projects though. All of the 9 people who interviewed me, asked me about the MUD i worked on.
There are some people who, when playing Minesweeper, simply HAVE to click at least once a second, even if they haven't figured out a safe place to click yet. IDEs let that type of person code away with minimum frustration. Just sit down and start banging the tab-completion key. Unfortunately, we're all a little bit like that, so we're all a little bit susceptible to that temptation.
OK, I'll buy that. But, I don't think, it's much of a problem. An IDE is a tool, and like just about any tool, it can hurt you if you don't know how to use it.
What the grandparent means is that if you can't sit down and just type in your code without a bunch of IDE help, you probably aren't ready to start coding yet.
I aggree, but he said inhibit applying to anyone.
You need to refresh yourself on the APIs you're using, sip some coffee, think about the code you're going to write, and get it right the first time.
I don't think this is really true. For example, in C, I've used most of the string functions several times. But I can never remember what the signatures are exactly. with an IDE it's simple, I can type strcat, look at the signature and use it.
In the article the GP linked, Linus said something to the affect of, not worrying about the type of problems that debuggers can solve. And I aggree, those aren't the real problems. So why should you spend a lot of time looking at the code trying to figure out why you get a null pointer when you can step through and see it? Short of first year CS students, it's not much of a learning experience. I don't think IDE's help you solve the real problems, I think they just make the trivial stuff happen faster, which is nice.
The best environment in Linux - as with on any platform - is a text editor and a solid mind that thinks the problems through before typing. IDEs inhibit that thought process.
Inhibit? umm.. no.
All an IDE is supposed to do (and all of the ones I've personally seen, do this) is make development easier. Why should you have to lookup the signature on a function/method, when an IDE can list them? Why should you have to change windows, start the process, start the debugger whatever else, when an IDE can do that? Why do you have to figure out where an extra ';' is hidden somehwere in the code when an IDE can do that? Not that IDE's don't have draw backs, sometimes of course they have bugs. They can also be a pain to set up.

nah, it's not a waste of good beer, it's Guinness.
Are Scottish educated on sarcasm? :P

don't remind me of z/OS, it makes me cry, remembering the horrors of it, growing up on windows and linux.
yeah after rereading that I agree with you and the AC below.

as cool as html parsers?
Have any backing of this claim? or just stating the 10 year old saying that java = slow

Easier solution: Kill all those with tiny penes. Only the well-endowed should be allowed to live, thus no need for penis pills. QED.
I really wouldn't like being the only guy left on the planet. No more football, beer ect. Though there would be some positives...
well that just makes you a big man don't it? If you're too good to respond/ don't want to, fine. But don't post and act like it's so obvious he's wrong when you won't even argue the point.
Doc Ruby is a troll, feel free to ignore him. The only annoying this is, he get's modded up for posting half thought posts.
I think people think differently. And thus assuming that the way you think is correct, is incorrect.

yeah you'll be constantly upgrading to get fixes and patches and.. :P
really? or do you just not hear about 99.9% of the parents who aren't idiots? i'm sure they're not perfect (mine probably weren't) but not idiots.
haha not quite ;)

actually i just followed the dupe links and read some of the posts and saw McNugget again.. and thought that was weird and then realized why
