"The World's Worst Software Developer"
-
Based on some feedback, I will be mixing in other games with 185. Or do you guys want it in addition to daily 185? Either way, here's a new one. It's called "World's Worst." It's a one liner game, so really try to keep them as one liners. And DO NOT copy and paste a joke, or retell a joke, it won't be funny and on stage, you'd get called out. I'll reply with a couple to get started. Keep in mind, references to others tend to gets high points. If anyone is still struggling to grasp it, here's a version from the World's Worst TV show: [^] "The World's Worst Software Developer"
What debugger?

How do you tell if a number is negative? - I've been asked this by a co-worker in real life.

I'm sure you told them of the complexities of dropping down to assembly language to check the sign bit, which can vary depending on the byte ordering and the bit ordering, what number system is used (floating point, two's complement, ones' complement, etc.), the size of numbers on different architectures (e.g., 32-bit, 64-bit) and compilers (e.g., Intel C++, Microsoft C++), and the assembly instruction set supported (e.g., x86, MIPS). It's a very difficult task, you see.

You should for good measure discuss Heisenberg's uncertainty principle too. Once you're measured the value to see if it is negative, you have modified it.

Oh dear me, how could I forget Heisenberg's uncertainty principle! While I'm at it, I also forgot about multi-threading volatility, and the susceptibility of non-ECC RAM to errors (which is even less severe than errors caused by paged virtual memory)! Certainly, there should be some locking and some replicated values to account for such common occurrences. Oh, and if the system does not include hardware-level prevention of buffer overflows, there may need to be some work done to prevent the sign bit from being overwritten by external programs, of course.

I believe what you meant was, "Patents!? We don't need no stinkin' patents!"

This brings back some bad college memories... :mad:

College is the only reason I am familiar with MIPS. :)

I was stunned for a minute, kind of the same way I'd react if you asked me to help you tie your shoes because you forgot how. When I stammered less than zero, her face lit up and she thanked me for helping her out, because I'm just that awesome.

Oh that was 'documentation'? I thought it was 'specification' I wrote software for that. :-D now who is going to write documentation for this?
