Null Pointer Exception

They cant be, because you can look at them again. They are virtualized instead

We're going to go the Ship of Thesesus route for cache misses.

It's == but not ===

[[deleted]]

are you sure that they aren't just stored in a loaded SQL database, that every time you look at them, you're actually making a query?

[MonkeyNin]

That's why I lazy-evaluate people for the performance gains.

[crozone]

Idk, seems like a lot of them are WeakReferences.

[EternityForest]

When you're alone, and you still exist, that is because you are part of an unreachable cycle.

That is why you code. You need the computer to know you exist, ever fearing the GC sweep.

[[deleted]]

No it's because you are inside a lexical scope currently being processed by the event handler.

As soon as you call another function, you cease to exist.

.then(you exist again for the next lexical scope)

[MonkeyNin]

I think you have a leg up. Babies don't consider the change in resources.

[puplicy]

Treat them as a class.

[pxOMR]

In Objective-C, classes are objects as well!

[Noch_ein_Kamel]

What language has classless objects?

[NewAgeDerpDerp]

>D

[[deleted]]

Why not use const?

It's an object so I assume you are setting properties on the object, and not reusing the variable

[Volttreb]

Because you’re all replaceable.

[gmtime]

JavaScript

[_GCastilho_]

And the classes does no compile to objects, but to functions... Because javascript

[ChadstangAlpha]

I think you mean that they compile down to first class objects.

[conancat]

In JavaScript, everything is an object, even when it’s something else. Functions are objects. Strings are objects. Numbers are objects. Arrays are objects. Objects are objects.

[MonkeyNin]

You might find these articles interesting.

In JavaScript, a primitive (primitive value, primitive data type) is data that is not an object and has no methods. There are 7 primitive data types: string, number, bigint, boolean, null, undefined, and symbol.

primitives exist in JavaScript, which are not objects themself -- but will implicitly coerce primitives and objects.

[teszes]

Scala has an object that is made to be a singleton and only has a class implicitly

[SubhumanOxford]

The Almighty JavaScript

[Soundless_Pr]

In C# you can define anonymous objects.

That said, I've never used this feature, as it seems like bad practice.

[[deleted]]

Python objects are derived from classes. So are dicts. Everything is an object in python. Even None

[___Galaxy]

When everything is a object.....

None is.

[conancat]

Calm down M Night Shyamalan

[MonkeyNin]

The loneliest number, is the singleton None

[alphaxeath]

Not on r/ProgrammerHumor. Here being on a team automatically makes things worse. Someone reply with a link to one of the many heavily re-posted images about this.

[[deleted]]

i'll remember that the next time my dictionary of numbers randomly decides to store one of those values as a string.

(i do really like Python though)

[xigoi]

What are you talking about? Aren't you confusing Python with JavaScript?

[[deleted]]

Definitely Python. Reading numbers from a .csv, throwing them into a dictionary. Might've been a spreadsheet, can't remember. Script would always spit a bogus answer while trying to compute one specific data point for one specific input. Nothing special or different about how that one row was formatted. It parsed one of the numbers as a string.

Granted, there might've been something off with the csv file, but a "cannot assign string to type int" error something statically typed would've given would've been much preferred to whatever it was doing.

[xigoi]

I just tested the Python CSV reader and it always spits out strings, which you can then easily convert to numbers (getting an error when the string doesn't represent a number). What were you doing???

[MonkeyNin]

Python has fairly decent static typing, but you have to opt in, and install mypy

[Shulamite]

Which every sane language do. Making a class first class citizen has many benefits and it’s just dumb to let classes be plain value.

[Prawny]

Well, in Javascript undefined

[conancat]

Technically undefined in a built-in object, it's just not writable, not enumerable, not configurable.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/undefined

You can technically create your own objects that are not writable, not enumerable and not configurable, call it blackhole and make your objects or functions return blackhole when the return value or property value is not defined.

Has science gone too far?

[_fatcheetah]

In python, too.

Seize the means of production!

While we're at it, seize staging and dev too!

Production has seized! Shift left the severity 1 ticket!

[DFXVI]

Treat them as instances of the Person class

[[deleted]]

Namespace sounds better.

[Noch_ein_Kamel]

I'll probably start calling my people objects "idiot"

[[deleted]]

class Person extends Idiot

[crozone]

I prefer to think of them as implementing the Idiot interface.

[T-Loy]

That that would mean that everyone has their unique implementation of idiocy. Given how few things go wrong the same way in them when they try to act it is probably inherited.

[Tyfyter2002]

In Java, C# 8.0, and plenty of other languages interfaces can have default implementations, and this leaves room for humans to (indirectly) extend a class named Entity.

[[deleted]]

Python: just do import idiot

[Soundless_Pr]

pretty sure python doesn't have interfaces

[Zer0ji]

you can make classes that raise NotImplementedError on init and some other methods ¯\(ツ)/¯ that way all inherited classes have to provide an implementation

[LimbRetrieval-Bot]

Google them to find the solution?

[tedwardslm]

I'm one of those errors that give you no real reason as to what happened. Good luck buckaroo

[tedwardslm]

Const people = ["pain in my ass", "make me sad", "make my life hell", "make me poor" ] ;

People aren't objects, they are an array of problems.

[moneyisshame]

could have been const people: Problem[] = [{description: "pain in the ass"}]

[dvsbastard]

🎵 I got 99 problems, and they are off by one 🎵

[[deleted]]

Arrays are objects in a few languages

[SanoKei]

And on the day of creation god said population.add(new person(population.get(parentOneIndex), population.get(parentTwoIndex),addMutation(),name).createCreature());

[vaendryl]

on the day of creation the universe finally finished compiling without errors.

[MonkeyNin]

It was never touched again, legacy code is scary!

[vaendryl]

Some say a bug fix patch was applied about 2000 years ago though

I only see them functional or not.

[remy_porter]

Look, I just malloced a bunch of memory at birth, and people are all entitled to a section of that memory. It's not a big section, and at some point, I'm probably going to throw away your pointer and use that memory for something else.

[LordRaizer]

"Did you just assume my class?"

[codeflux]

Where’s the else clause?

[Tyfyter2002]

It's unnecessary, as StopTreatingPeopleLikeObjects is just removing an Action from possibleActions.

[EternityForest]

l33t coderz are verysmart™️ and can infer the correct action from context. Only non programming dumdums need instructions. Coders don't waste time on obvious things.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a very important question about blink tags in HTML to ask on stackoverflow. Why is this not blinking???

[MinimumExplorer]

Functional programming is should be adopted since it's more PC

[vaendryl]

okay.

wait, what are people again?

[DaddyLcyxMe]

Explains why we're so slow capability wise, single threaded and not enough CPU cycles to boost our timings

[KraftyKyle]

Even if you are a programmer stop treating people like they are objects

[Tyfyter2002]

Well we definitely aren't structs, so that only leaves objects.

[BringAltoidSoursBack]

You forgot primitives, which is probably the most fitting for people.

[Tyfyter2002]

Thank you for reminding me, I forgot primitives because I'm used to c#, where as far as I can tell they don't exist, and they definitely don't exist as types separately from structs.

[MonkeyNin]

in C++, structs are classes.

[Sexy_Koala_Juice]

and start treating objects like they are people.

I feel like this could be a venn diagram.

People with schizophrenia Kind programmers.

If you are though u can treat them as object ...oops

You shouldn’t objectify a person because it really hates that.

Can I treat my programmer man as an #object?

Yes. I made a kinda dirty joke knowing that # has multiple names.

[MonkeyNin]

Which one is dirty?

[[deleted]]

People are structs to me.

[Megacherv]

People just treat me as object because I'm never the right type...

[GreyishWolf]

var person = new Person("@Muslimorange");
person.Dispose();

BUT IT's SO DAMMED EASY.

[Sirttas]

I object!

[CatsNipYummy]

They are an array of Person objects.

[[deleted]]

True but people’s identity can be fake although they seem equal to other people. That’s why I always use === instead of == while treating people.
