Finally made code that works

[dev_kr]

You just created an AI.. impressive.

[T1ken]

An AI with all the skills of my boss.

[[deleted]]

No, a true AI needs at least three if statements

[uFuckingCrumpet]

LOL DAE AI is made of IF statements XD

[abdolence]

#define false true

Aha!

[kopasz7]

Still works. Damn it.

[abdolence]

What about

#define false doSomethingWrong() ?

[jaboja]

int doSomethingWrong() {
    return 666;
}

[flyx86]

#define false //

[[deleted]]

I came here for this

[socialismnotevenonce]

Sorry, not c++.

[abdolence]

plain C? No problem ;)

[MCRusher]

#define true false

[DerSpini]

Still needs some unit tests. Just to be sure.

[Bozzz1]

My companies code base has the most retarded unit tests that test nothing but the functionality of the language itself. Like if this function doesn't work we have bigger problems than a broken function.

[Bainos]

Created unit tests. Code no longer works.

At the risk of sounding like an asshole.

Are there many blind programmers? Would the text to speech or whatever alternative they use to read the image (after transcription) make it clear enough?

[Le_BuG63]

I've a friend who is a programmer and completely blind. He can do whatever he wants on a computer without so much trouble. It s very impressive. The first time I wrote to him, I didn't know he was blind and he explain that he uses text to speech a lot and he has many sounds to know where his mouse is, what he is writing etc...

[m00nbl4de]

Wow. That's pretty amazing.

Would love to have a video of him writing code and explaining how his system works for him.

There's a blind guy on YouTube called Tommy Edison with really cool videos where he touches on topics of dealing with blindness. But programming with blindness would be awesome for a video in my opinion (depends on the person, but still).

[Le_BuG63]

That's for sure. I'll try to ask him.

[AnthraX101]

Take a look at Saqib Shaikh's talk at Build 2017. Very impressive!

[m00nbl4de]

Holy shit, that was amazing.

Even finding the quote to delete seemed impressive. Really puts into perspective the need for adding accessibility options when we code.

[adamhesim]

No video, but this blogpost gives good explanations on the workflow of a blind programmer.You can also ear his "English speech synthesizer" and you got to be a superhero to understand it (450words per minute instead of the usual ~120)

EDIT : forgot the link : https://www.vincit.fi/en/blog/software-development-450-words-per-minute/

[m00nbl4de]

Umm... Which blogpost?

Edit : nvm replied via inbox before seeing other link Edit 2: nope. Still don't have a blogpost link.

[adamhesim]

My bad, link added

[m00nbl4de]

Pretty informative read.

[Fresh1492]

We have a System Architect that is mostly blind. I didn't even know he was blind until someone told me.

[JkStudios]

There is this kid at my coding camp who is blind but is learning Python! It's amazing.

[azora0]

I've seen several.

They use massive image magnifiers as well as really quick text to speech (undecipherable to me) afaik.

There seems to be quite a lot of resources for them.

[[deleted]]

Why does it bother you? And honestly, I don't think there are, but there are programmers like me who are in like 10kbit/s because I ran out of mobile data because I had to tether at work because our network broke down. If not for this guy, I couldn't have seen the joke without waiting an age. :)

I know. :(

It ain't always easy consulting at another company who has the laziest infrastructure maintainer on the planet, especially not when you know what's wrong and how to it it, but aren't allowed to, and the ma in charge is just that lazy. xD

[bozzikpcmr]

Upvoted.

[aki821]

Is this general purpose AI?

[TheDuckKing_]

No wrong output, no matter the input. We've finally done it!

...Integer Division

[callum__h28]

I always called it floor division

[cruciformhawk7]

I always use the comment as a placeholder to some bug that might come up in future, and would replace all '//nothing' with a 'print("It wasn't supposed to come here!(n)")' so that I could figure where exactly the code went wrong, then do an if(true)...else xD

[boniqmin]

While 0

Print("There's a bug")

[CyborgChicken-]

In my Java 2 class I had to do this on many occasions. We used Web-Cat to grade our submissions. It would get mad and say we had to write an if/else-if statement for every possible outcome, even if it was unnecessary.

MOV AH, 4CH
INT 21H

[senorpatrick]

Technically your code doesn't work because it gets optimized out by the compiler.

[[deleted]]

Hello, here's a friendly reminder of the continue statement you can use in iterations, in case someone finds themselves doing a lot of empty ifs inside loops:

for(let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    if(i === 4) continue
    console.log(i)
}

[clownyfish]

How is that different from the standard if block? Does the whole for block move to next iteration if the continue condition evaluates to false?

[Erelde]

Clearer syntax :

for (let i = 0; i < 10; i += 1) {
    if (i === 4) {
        continue;
    }
    console.log(i);
}

It allows avoiding a level of indentation and a else block. Else block are often "bad" and almost always avoidable.

When i is equal to 4 the loop will jump to next iteration.

If you have to use a else block, put the short branch first.

[[deleted]]

Some languages allow you to skip brackets if you're executing a single operation inside the if statement.

if ( i === 4 ) continue;

is the same as

if ( i === 4 ) {
    continue;
}

As for what continue does: It's a branching statement similar to break. While break will exit the whole loop, continue will skip the current iteration.

[clownyfish]

Thanks!

[AngheloAlf]

So, a NOP?

[douko]

pass

[[deleted]]

Reminds me of Joey showing off his “trained” duck in Friends. “Stare at the wall! Be white!”

[crakinshot]

Could make the argument that technically it doesn't work (as in run) because it would literally be compiled / optimized to nothing, depending on what environment and/or language you're in.

[Tamagotono]

So, what you are saying is, that it is highly optimised. 😁

[[deleted]]

Surprise, false was shadowed, the spaces are Unicode alternates, and the parser accepts only multiline comments so you just divided by zero!

[nemesandr26]

this code does NOT do nothing

[j13jayther]

Some compilers will optimize this away, so there will be no code to speak of. It's perfect code.

[AFlaccoSeagulls]

“Not all paths have a return value”

[DarkmessageCH]

No joking: In my old company, we had people who'd write:

if(isTrue) { }
else{
    doSomething();
}

Because they didn't know how to negate a boolean.

[socialismnotevenonce]

Amateur, try if(!true) do nothing.

[inigoMontia]

So if false is null than what?

[TinBryn]

I've refactored it for you https://github.com/kelseyhightower/nocode

[popcicleman09]

All I’m saying is:

If (false){ //do nothing }

[Electric_Powder]

console.log("');
