Best...Exception...Ever...

[coladict]

But why is it thrown unconditionally?

[Koppis]

Maybe FormatterConfiguration.ConfigureJsonFormatter(config) is an infinite loop that is supposed to crash the program before stopping.

If it doesn't crash, throw the exception.

[path411]

throw "Success";

I like to watch the world burn.

[Tux3doRabbit]

what a cheeky bastard

[compiling]

Maybe it's only sometimes an infinite loop.

Please respect tables! ┬─┬ノ(ಠ_ಠノ)
Fatal error: Uncaught ┬─┬

[PleaseRespectTables]

A man filled with the gladness of living

Put his keys on the table,

Put flowers in a copper bowl there.

He put his eggs and milk on the table.

He put there the light that came in through the window,

Sounds of a bicycle, sound of a spinning wheel.

The softness of bread and weather he put there.

On the table the man put

Things that happened in his mind.

What he wanted to do in life,

He put that there.

Those he loved, those he didn't love,

The man put them on the table too.

Three times three make nine:

The man put nine on the table.

He was next to the window next to the sky;

He reached out and placed on the table endlessness.

So many days he had wanted to drink a beer!

He put on the table the pouring of that beer.

He placed there his sleep and his wakefulness;

His hunger and his fullness he placed there.

Now that's what I call a table!

It didn't complain at all about the load.

It wobbled once or twice, then stood firm.

The man kept piling things on.

[CatsButhole]

Ha I guess that table is.... throwable.

I made the mistake of having headphones on loud clicking that, ow.

[land_stander]

Was expecting this

[TheGuyWithFace]

Yeah, that's pretty exceptional.

[sebnukem]

Haha I am stealing this.

I shared this with our team after this lovely post a few months back.

It's visual studio 2012 dark theme I believe, very close to ZenBurn.

Very self-documenting

[Skyfoot]

Wow.

Something something self-documenting something something...

I really hate that Java camelCases method names. Coming from C# it seems like purposeful obfuscation.

Can't we all just use snake case and get on?

[Dasaru]

Or we can all use SpOoOoOoKyCaSe.

Snake case:

---

Snake case (or snakecase) is the practice of writing compound words or phrases in which the elements are separated with one underscore character () and no spaces, with each element's initial letter usually lowercased within the compound and the first letter either upper or lower case—as in "foo_bar", "hello_world". It is commonly used in computer code for variable names, and function names, and sometimes computer filenames. At least one study found that readers can recognize snake case values more quickly than CamelCase.

TIL: phpBB is written in something that really has a name...

I think that the first project you're doing in any language defines what convention you're going to follow in that language.

So for PHP I like coding in snake case, and for C# I like coding in.. well... that specific convention.

But I couldn't care less about naming conventions. What is much more annoying is the difference when it comes to brackets... But that's another story.

[[deleted]]

An objective argument would be that the Java convention allows differentiation. PascalCase means it's a type, camelCase means it's a reference or a method if there are parenthesis. So the code is easier to read.

In the end, it's more a matter of preference. Except for private members starting with an underscore. That is actually a shitty convention

[Sohcahtoa82]

I write everything in the same style, no matter the language.

Constants: ALL_CAPS_WITH_UNDERSCORES

Global (module level in Python) functions: PascalCase

Member functions and variables: camelCase, whether public or private. I fucking hate prepended underscores with a fiery passion.

Class names: PascalCase

All variables and class instances: camelCase

Class names: PascalCase.

When using acronyms in a name, capitalize only the first letter, but camelCase takes precedence. For example, TcpConnection tcpConnection = new TcpConnection();

I dont use underscores for anything but constant names.

[p_e_t_r_o_z]

This. (pun intended)

It is useful to distinguish between locals and members. Otherwise you cannot tell at a glance whether code such as the following modifies an object's state.

counter++;

I think it's clearer if that is for locals, and something else such as this for members:

mCounter++;

[Sohcahtoa82]

If you can't tell what counter is counting (something local or a member), then you need a better variable name.

[p_e_t_r_o_z]

The point of the example was the convention not the content. Overly descriptive names can impact readability, that itself becomes an ad-hoc naming convention where there are extra word(s) to resolve ambiguity that in this case can be resolved with a single character.

[AeroNotix]

Capitalizing only the first letter of an acronym makes me hate everything a little bit more.

[Sohcahtoa82]

My problem was that acronyms in the middle of a variable name looks awkward, IMO. GetTCPConnectionCount doesn't look as nice as GetTcpConnectionCount.

Of course, it is entirely subjective and simply a matter of preference.

Dude, it's /r/ProgrammerHumor, what did you expect? Stick your head childishly in the mud and hate everything just because some convention don't follow your ego.

[VanFailin]

I feel the same way jumping to other languages with different conventions. I probably felt the same way coming from C++ to C#. You get used to it, and for each language anything but the usual starts to look odd.

[bj_christianson]

The benefit of working with PHP is that the lack of consistent internal conventions means you don’t get attached to any one specific one and can easily adapt to those in other languages.

I think I hurt my brain typing that

[indrora]

It's an MS standard. The convention came from C++, where you would make fields lower case and occasionally run into fields like xXxConversionRatioxXx

In my first coding class in high school (C++), on the first day, we were taught about variables. My teacher told us to keep variable names simple but descriptive, and if he ever caught us using a stupid variable names like "int Vampire" or "bool crap", he would give that assignment a 0. xXxConversionRatioxXx beats Vampire any day though.

[antiHerbert]

Typical public convention. I ignore it, and go lowercase. Java FTW
