One liners that make you giggle

  • parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.
    parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.window.document.
    getElementByID("hiddenCounter").value++;



  • Command-line one-liners:

    man man

    after aliasing the 'man' command to 'girl':
    man girl

    if only there was a way to arrange this one...:
    girl girl



  • if ((this.Something)&&(this._SomethingElse != null)&&(this._SomethingElse.Id != 0)&&(!this._SomethingElse.SomethingIsGoingOn)&&(!this._SomethingElse.SomethingHappened)&&(this._SomethingElse.HasStuff))

    It's anonymized, but I swear to god that's in our framework. Yes, every single this-dot is unnecessary. I've found up to eight this-dots on one line.

    I get why some folks use "this." where it's not necessary; sometimes it's to clarify things in a file with a lot of MyClass.staticConstant's (I know it's not necessary, but sometimes, especially with deeply inherited classes, it makes things more obvious).

    Two of my personal pet peeves:

    class MyClass { protected int MY_CONSTANT = 1; }

    if (MyClass.this.MY_CONSTANT==x) { ...}

     and

    [code]class A { protected int x=1;}
    class B extends A { protected int x=2; }
    class C extends B { protected int x=3; }[/code].

    which forces hard-coding stupidity like:

    [code]void xxx() {
    C c = new C();
    System.out.println("c.x="+c.x);
    System.out.println("b.x="+((B)c).x);
    System.out.println("a.x="+((A)c).x);
    }[/code]

    You've been to thailand recently, haven't you.



  • Can't find the offending code right now, but saw this once:

    if(bUserInitialized){
         // cout << "User is initialized";
    }

    else{
        // cout << "User is not initialized";
    }

     



  • @djork said:

    after aliasing the 'man' command to 'girl':

    man girl

    Surely you mean "girl man"?

    Also, I suspect (but don't know for sure) that you could either rename or symlink the appropriate file (looks to be /usr/share/man/man1/man.1.gz on a RHEL box) to girl to make "girl girl" (or "man girl") work. Fnar.
     



  • Perl's scoping can make some interesting lines like:

     

    my $line; #whose line is it, anyway?

    our $house; #in the middle of the street

     

    For no particular technical reason, object self-references use the variable $self, rather than the keyword 'this'.  Unlike 'this', however, '$self' is not set in stone, and I think it is done just so that each method begins with:

    my $self = shift();

     

    Then there is the infamous Perl threat clause:

    $object->method() or die();

     

    There is a module that implements an enhanced exception handling ability.... its key method is called "die_trying()" and is used syntactically the same way, e.g.:

    $object->method() or die_trying();

     

    I have been known to define some error text in a variable $HORRIBLY, so as to be able to write:

    $object->method() or die($HORRIBLY); 

     

    On another note, I think it would be funny to create a Makefile that has a "love" and "war" target defined (maybe just alias them to "all") so that you can:

    $ make love

    $ make war

     


    Along that same line, you could also define appropriate targets to:

    $ make ammends

    $ make peace

    $ make over

    $ make up

    $ make the_rounds

    $ make friends

    $ make money

    ...etc.

     



  • @Critter said:

    $ make love

     My favorite was
    $ make install --not war
     

    (ok, whenever I saw that I assumed that '--not' would exclude a particular target, but it's not in the man pages.  Am I reading something wrong, or did the guy I borrowed that from lie?)



  • I have also seen one on Slashdot in a sig file that went something like:

        unzip strip grep finger fsck more yes

    there may be more to it, that's about all I can remember of it.

    Looks to me like there are no double-dash options for GNU make, but make is not 100% standardised, by a log shot.  I would have expected maybe:

     
        make install #not war

    ...or something like that.

    @djork said:

    man girl

    Surely you mean "girl man"?

     

    Depends. Girl comes first, would make you more popular with the ladies. Man comes first, is more realistic.



  • This was already mentioned in some other thread:

    [code]long fuck = 99;[/code]



  • how about --keep-going?



  • A favorite C library of mine that we had in an old project -- gstring :)



  • define("PC_LOAD_LETTER",99);

    Which I placed in there to generate "PC_LOAD_LETTER?  What the f**k is that???" from a co-worker when he went into that service. 



  • if ($framework->authentication->login($users->get_field("auth_typ"),$str_user_name, $str_password) == AUTH_RC_LOGIN_SUCCESS) {
    // Is great success. I like. High five.

    -- snip --

    return AUTH_KNOWN_USER;
    }

    I love the comment. Especially if you say it like Borat.

    I'm not suprised to see stuff like this. After all, we have code completion.

    Not really funny but lines like if(something == true) {...} makes me giggle every now and then

    Believe me, it's not making anything clearer. It's simply that every instance variable is preceded with "this." because it brings up intellisense.

  • <cfparam name="MAXIMUM_FUCKUPS" default="10">

     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Don't ask...Its a dev version of a coldfusion app. This actually was written by a colleague of mine & I. It would have been deployed to production like this. However, the Project Manager had us switch it to MAXIMUM_ERRORS.

    Although I don't remember why we used that name, but the Senior Programmers on the team passed it through the Reviewing process!

    This is a convention, not a keyword. You could easily use $this instead. It just happens to be the first argument passed to the function when you call object->method().

    Sometimes, you will also have my $class = shift;  instead (in the constructor for a class, when you're calling ClassName->new(...)  or whatever you've called the constructor).

    Then there is the infamous Perl threat clause:

    $object->method() or die();

  • When we were working on one of our software projects at Uni, we noticed that we were often mistyping:

     make run

     as:

    make urn

    So we added a task to the Makefile that echoed something like:

    _____
    \   /
    |   |
    |   |
    \   /
     \ /
    .:::.

  • Just after typing the following code line in perl I laughed, then added the comment - it was easier than renaming the variables everywhere else, besides it does make perfect sense...

    Just try explaining it, in words - without stumbling over the word array (or what you're referring to)

    [code]
    $arrays[$array{'array'}]=%array;
    # Probably better understood as:
    # $raid_arrays[$this_raid_array{'raid_array_id'}] = %this_raid_array
    # But that's no fun ;)

    This is a convention, not a keyword. You could easily use $this instead. It just happens to be the first argument passed to the function when you call object->method().

    Exactly.  Like I said, it is for no particular technical reason.

    Right.  In that particular case, $self wouldn't be an appropriate name, because it is not referring to an instance. 

    @fennec said:

    I had heard of it, but not really paid it much attention.  I followed your link, though, and I think I'm going to have to look at it a bit more later.  Thanks.

  • Love this thread... made me join just to post some of my faves:

    catch(RuleException rexTheKing)

     
    Also:

    catch(Exception fit){
    Logger.Log(fit)
    throw fit;
    }
    

    This is from a friend who hated the MS UIP and MVC in general:

    IAccountController extraCode = (IAccountController) this.Controller;
    That controller might later call back to a manager class:
    IAccountManager stupid = ManagerFactory.CreateAccountManager();

  • @badfrog said:

    catch(Exception fit){
    Logger.Log(fit)
    throw fit;
    }

    Just a note, while 'throw fit' is funny, you generally want to do this instead:

    catch(Exception fit){
    Logger.Log(fit)
    throw;
    }
    And, if you already know this, I'll shut up now.
