Right. I heard Obama bought a phone and a pencil. Founding fathers oughta have thought of that.
New poll suggestion: How many times should you be caught doing something incredibly stupid at your job before you get banned from working for life?
Well, FIFA is a federation of associations, or an association of federations (DK,DC). The federal government in the US is similarly limited in its powers, I guess. Now, that might be idiotic too, but at least it's not unprecedented.

Funny how when you take this * completely out of context *, it makes Blakeyrat look dumb. However, if you go back and read that he already had an account with Feedly which was already connected to Google Reader it makes perfect sense that they should have been able to anticipate this and import the subs automatically so when someone logged back in to Feedly, it just worked.
That might be because I agree with the rest of his complaint, and just wanted to point out how the particular sentence makes no sense. If he'd said "...that maybe people would want to read their Reader feeds after Reader was shut-down" I wouldn't have complained.
I'm using Feedly, and haven't experienced his problem. I do remember one time when I was forced to log back in, and actually install a Firefox addon for feedly. Must have been this that really imported the feed.

That "async: false," bit makes it a bit less asynchronous than you'd expect, I think.
I've found much the same thing happening for people who want to sell houses or cars through websites. People who want me to pay -say- 100.000 for an apartment. They don't bother to include more than two pictures of the apartment, both from the outside. They don't list the features of the apartment. They "mistype" the area, so on the website it reads "44 sq meters" and when you call it's 54 sq meters. They are offended and all huffy when I call them on the phone they wrote in their ad (I should have magically known to call another number, or contact via email only). They don't reply. They are surprised when I ask them if I can see the apartment outside working hours.
I wonder sometimes if they actually want my money at all.
For the same reason it's a good idea to add braces around the if block body even if it contains just a single line?

TRWTF is dollars and cents, then.
That bit I understand (as well as "quarter"), but it's the "nickel" and "dime" bit that threw me. What's the reasoning behind this?
(yes, I know in the UK we had "shilling", "farthing", "florin", "crown" etc)
The weekee says "The term dime comes from old French "disme",[1] meaning "tithe" or "tenth part", from the Latin decima [pars]",
and
"Applying the term "nickel" to a coin precedes the usage of five-cent pieces made from nickel alloy. The term was originally applied to the 1857–1858 Flying Eagle cent and the Indian Head cent coin from 1859 to 1864, which were composed of 12% nickel, 88% copper. Throughout the Civil War these cents were referred to as "nickels" or "nicks" from their metal content." And now you know.

@Adriano said:So you reinstall pretty often, but don't take the time to add a simple pdf reader to your install routine?Correct. I don't even have an "install routine". Seriously what the fuck even is that.
Well, a "routine" is "a regular course of procedure" according to the first link I got by searching. An "install" is something you do when you want to suffer by means of software. By the context (that is, "the interrelated conditions in which something exists or occurs", according to the fourth link obtained), I assume that we're talking about OS reinstallations. My bad if otherwise. Someone who installs an OS and its apps "pretty often" usually has an "install routine" which more or less is a common procedure for rendering a system usable, with known needed apps and the means to obtain and install them, order of installation, common tweaks to the OS and apps, etc. I hope I cleared your doubts.

[...] maybe the cognitive load of having to drag the icon to Chrome the three times a fucking year I even need to read a PDF in the first place is less than the cognitive load of dealing with the file type associations dialog box. Which I'd have to redo anyway, since I reinstall my computer pretty often. And which wouldn't work if I was viewing the PDF on a computer I didn't own, say, my parents' or the one I use at work. Basically I'm saying you're an idiot.
So you reinstall pretty often, but don't take the time to add a simple pdf reader to your install routine? And you count on Chrome being installed on computers you don't own?

Obviously, that violates the programming law that you should never nest square brackets.

Well, it might be a larger query and in that bit, the author didn't want the extra data, and judged that doing this waltz would be better that hitting the db again.

Then what is wrong with:
$r = array();
foreach ($this->result as $content){
$r[$content['id']] = $content['label']; // Hopefully CS doesn't screw with these square brackets too much
}
return $r;If $this->result is too much stuff then it sounds like it came from a SELECT * FROM table...
I originally thought php would have an array_ function to deal with this kind of thing, but can find none apart from perhaps array_filter and a dedicated callback, so the code you present would be simpler.
Learning basic PHP: free
Learning one PHP array function: free
Learning how to use foreach: free
Not bothering to examine the rest of the array API: priceless!
For serious code, there's money. For everything else, use PHP.

while count < NUMBRKTS and income > brackets[count]

endwhile
tax = income * rates[count]
return tax
- Function is declared void but returns a value
- count is not initialized (some languages zero-initialize everything by default)
- rates is declared to be the same size as brackets, but contains one more value
- If income falls outside the highest bracket, the rates array is accessed past its declared size
- The tax variable is only assigned once just before returning its value - the expression could have been returned directly instead
- Using apparent floating-point values for monetary calculations
- Using a variable of an apparent non-integer type to declare array sizes
- Tax calculation does not work that way
Did I miss anything?
Doesn't 'count < NUMBRKTS' take care of the fourth item in your list?
