some past LOL from a coworker. He said: "after many months of C I wrote a big pascal program and it had zero syntax errors on first try - only to remember that { } are comments in pascal"

Now that's the genius move.

Can't complain if everything is a comment.

Start the day with /*

Write code.

Compile.

Zero errors.

Be proud.

Brag about it.

Finish with */

Save.

Go home.

I remember using /* */, not { }...

well, if you use C blocks instead of "begin" and "end" then your suddenly uncommented PASCAL lines become syntax error free because your program is empty.

He mentioned multiple hundreds of pascal code lines without a single syntax error, on first try even!

I can’t imagine writing that much code at once without compiling and running it to test incrementally, but I understand that isn’t practical in some applications.

That's -1 errors and -1 warnings for 12-bit unsigned errors and 13-bit unsigned warnings.

Well, -1 + 1 = 0 errors really:

Yesterday, I was debugging an exception in Java.

ModelSavingExeception.

Halted the application where the model is saved. Evaluates the line

Get a model saving exception.

Goes inside the failure method to debug more none of the line throws exception.

It took me an embarrassing amount of time to realise it wasn't a coding issue.

What was the issue? I'm not that familiar with Java

A new attribute was added on the model, but it wasn't added to the database. Hence the model wasn't able to be saved.

Needed to update the database to create the attribute.

What's up with these copy paste, mispelled, ancient memes on the sub lately?
