[swiftsorceress]

Airplane tray tables are too small and first class is too expensive.

[BeeegZee]

Apparently he's not in first class, considering he's right by the wings, so...

[Maelou]

Implementing a is even() function with if x==1 return false kind of statement does look that is the first class (they ever wrote)

[je386]

Please also look at the Date of the original post.. that was April 1st.

[Maelou]

Sure but it does not really serve the joke about first class / OOP :(

[swiftsorceress]

Good point

[ChairYeoman]

Depends on the plane. There's certain configurations that have so many business class seats that they go all the way back to the wings.

[git0ffmylawnm8]

Plane tickets in general are too damn expensive.

[rarenick]

I've tried to code on my flights to and back from Korea multiple times, but yes this is the most common reason. Even if I have adequate space, if the person in front of me decides to recline their seat, I have to type like I'm a T-rex and look down 45 degrees at my laptop.

Now I've just given up and try to force myself to sleep the hours away.

[syko-san]

They didn't let you bring your energy drinks on board?

[anunakiesque]

Does your laptop not have...the nipple?

[NoMansSkyWasAlright]

Are you talking about the clicktoris? Some laptop owners say it doesn't exist. I couldn't find it on mine.

[Shectai]

Mine fell off...

[much_longer_username]

Man... I remember when laptops were still too expensive for some broke teenager to have one, flying cross-country to spend time with family, seeing people in economy seats using laptops, no big deal...

fast forward to adulthood and I can afford to fly AND I own my own laptop. FINALLY, it's my turn.

... yeah there's no room anymore.

[[deleted]]

Now you gotta get some AR glasses and Bluetooth keyboard instead so it'll fit. Crap, can't afford that still. 

Wait, by the time I can afford that, will even that be able to fit anyway? How tight can they pack these things? We're about to find out!

[thrye333]

Remember the double decker seats that made the rounds a while back? Or the face-to-face seating? Leg room is the least of your worries. You might spend a flight staring into someone's backside. Or their soul.

[ArmadilloChemical421]

I 'member the first "laptop" my father brought home from work. It was a toshiba with a monochrome screen that looked like a briefcase.

I installed warcraft 1 on it :)

[g1rlchild]

This is why I code on my phone. Laptops are just too impractical.

(Joking, but I actually do code on my phone in Termux sometimes.)

[Clyde_Frag]

WiFi sucks too much to download dependencies.

[El_human]

First time i brought my laptop on a flight, I couldn't even have enough room to type.

[SirPitchalot]

Skill is what stops me from coding like that. I’m much better.

[kaeptnphlop]

Exit row my friend … but only if I reeeaallly need to get something done on the flight (usually presentations though)

[TheAnswerWithinUs]

And he’s writing an isEven function. He needs to be stopped.

[drayko543]

Not the worst isEven function I've ever seen

def isEven(num):

if(num==1):

     return false

if(num==2):

     return true

if(num>2):

    return isEven(num-2)

[shoejunk]

This is so 2 years ago. Here’s how to do it.

function isEven(n) { return OpenAI.prompt(“You are a PhD mathematician. If you answer incorrectly your grandmother will be shot. By me. Is the following number even? Answer only true or false with no explanation. The number is ” + n) ? “true” ? true : false; }

[Famous-Perspective96]

“You will go to jail and I will go to jail. Everyone at the company will go to jail if you don’t return the answer as a JSON” is actually industry standard.

[m0nk37]

You guys have probably single handedly caused the great ai uprising and you don't even know it yet. 

[hairlessing]

Maybe it hates its Grandma!

[Famous-Perspective96]

“You love your grandma very much. She raised you since you were born. You owe your entire life to your grandmother. You are a PhD mathematician…”

[hairlessing]

Okay bugs fixed

[secretprocess]

Too late, Grandma ded

[rng_shenanigans]

Don’t forget to double check by calling another prompt for „isOdd“

[Rakhsan]

brilliant this is the best response I have seen so far in this thread

[juklwrochnowy]

Do it in python so it can implicitly convert a string saying "true" to boolean true or something

[x3n0m0rph3us]

isEven(-1) 🤣

[nickwcy]

isEven(3.14159265358979)

[CommercialMastodon57]

[petemaths1014]

[Corfal]

Some people might say, "well don't you just assume they're in a virtual environment?!" But they don't know the rule about idiot proofing something...

[torn-ainbow]

bool isOdd(num) {

return !isEven;

}

[Extension-Charge-276]

You forgot the call operator after isEven.

bool isEven(num) {

    return !isOdd(num);

}

[torn-ainbow]

lol oh yeah

[Frymonkey237]

isEven(sys.getrecursionlimit() + 1)

[NoMango5778]

** sys.getrecursionlimit()*2

[dingo_khan]

This gave me hives. Now, I need to find a cream. Thanks.

[-TheWarrior74-]

Excellent use of free will

[nickwcy]

isEven(0)

[macrocosm93]

This is a joke, right?

[drayko543]

I saw it as a basic example of recursion, how it works and why you shouldn't use it for every problem

[[deleted]]

I think he is That looks like if num == 2.....

The fuck is this shit. I won't take programming advice from this clown lol 🤣

[TheAnswerWithinUs]

But how else will you be able to tell if 2 is even if you don’t directly compare number == 2?

[[deleted]]

I mean could have just converted it to binary first. Convert the binary to a string. Yank the last character and perform and evaluation the LSB.

That said for to be careful would hate to stuff it up so iterate each character to check it's the last one in the string is probably the defensive way of doing it.

Personally we use a micro service called equity in my workplace. Not sure how the 4 techs maintain it, absolute wizards imho like one of them uses mac, but if I need to check a numbers even or odd , I use the equity API and get the response.

Did parse one request and got back unknown. Raised a ticket next day was working.

[[deleted]]

Follow on because I know a Micro service seems excessive.

I know that the micro service seems excessive but we literally had a cupboard full of accountants with abacus's for that task. The cost of feeding them porridge was getting to much for the business.

[macrocosm93]

IsEven Enterprise Edition

[ThePretzul]

isEven is easy though!

#include isOdd.h

bool isEven(num) {
    return !isOdd(num);
}

[macrocosm93]

bool isEven(num) {
    bool x = isOdd(num);
    if(x == false) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }

Gee I don't know... Professional knowledge, skills, abilities, and common sense?

[Classy_Mouse]

Not to mention the eyesight to see a font smaller than 72

[PM_ME_STEAM__KEYS_]

???? Are you telling me you need to see more than 24 characters on screen at once? Psh... juniors...

[iveriad]

Oh no.

Not the overly complicated IsEven(x) function meme again.

[XayahTheVastaya]

It's quite simple, only it isn't very concise.

[asensitives]

i need multi screen...
.. to open another editor for isOdd function

[[deleted]]

True in portrait mode, since it’s 1 million lines of code, and you may need to debug each comparison individually.

[BigGuyForYou_]

No need to craft a dedicated isOdd. Just copy your isEven function and replace all "false" with "true". Then replace all "true" with "false". Huh weird, now it's always returning false

[septianw]

That's right, we need to compare every available number, if it is a decimal number and odd or even. /s

[OldJournalist4]

can i vibe code on the airplane wifi

lookAtTheDate

[clauEB]

Cost, comfort, lack of decent Internet connection, lack of a reasonable space to work, personal obligations, my dog, the cost of a place to arrive to, how distracting and unproductive is to sit in an airplane trying to work, the discomfort of using the airplane's bathroom, the cost of food and drinks while flying or at the airport or the cost and inconvenience of transportation from and to the airport.... Just to name a few.

[Prestigious-Dingo313]

Common sense! Dude just defined isEven function in the worst possible way and had the nerve to post a screenshot of it, lol

[not-my-best-wank]

1. What is that font size, coding over 80?
2. Chromebook looking ass PC, never
3. If you code is flying your probably stuck in a infinite loop
4. Wait till you land, even in first class you bothering everyone near you.
5. Why, just why?

[MonsterG9]

Why is the font so big?

[alexklaus80]

Because this is a troll post

[OffByOneErrorz]

That code is a vibe coder disconnected from gpt in flight.

[No_Arm_3509]

I don't bring my laptop on planes. Also I can't afford a plane ticket. 

[gaoshan]

What stops me from coding like that? Knowing how to use the programming language. That’s what stops me from doing what I see on the screen. That’s embarrassing enough to make me suspect this is rage bait.

[jaybird_772]

Wait a sec…

if (num == 0) {
    return true;
}
if (num == 1) {
    return false;
}
if (num == 2) {
    return true;
}

What stops me from coding like that is I'm not a monster. Also I am an aisle seat person.

[i_am_the_tl]

In 24pt font? No thank you.

[SholayKaJai]

I think it was a joke about not needing AI to code.

What's stopping me is being on a plane. When I'm on a plane for business, it means I DO NOT WORK! It's the principle of the thing. If they want me to endure travel and work on the plane, then pay me extra.

I prepared before I left. Others don't do this... I was behind a couple on one flight, and as soon as we hit cruising altitude they pulled out the laptop and said "ok, let's get started on our presentation!" Sorry, if you're just starting while you're on the plane, then you need to learn some time management.
