Am I the only person that hates Java Script?

0 Upvotes

I hate Java Script with a burning passion. I Think I hate it because my class coded shitty browser games with JS, and I didn't really have fun with that, and I also sucked ass at JS. What can you code with JS anyways, just shitty browser games? I know it like the top 5 languages to learn, but I can't understand why. coding variables were a bitch.

Creative ways to make money from coding WITHOUT having any customers?

6 Upvotes

I'm not talking about the regular stuff you see in every blog post about it: "develop a smartphone app, open a programming blog", and so on.

For example, make your stock trades automatic (algo-trading and so on).

In that case, you have to be familiar with stock trading and how to earn from it, of course.

Any other ideas?

The more it is niche-related, the better.

The End of Java

0 Upvotes

Today I was musing about the existence of Java. The big selling point to me at its inception was Write Once, Run Everywhere. It was a cool concept. Force the developers of the Java VM to worry about platform specific implementation and the programmers using the language just focus on getting one set of code done that anyone can use.

In today's day and age, we have web apps. Some fancy HTML5 mixed in with some splashy CSS with a Python back-end and bam. You've got an application that can run anywhere. Sure you might have some browser specific implementations, but generally speaking you can write one set of cross platform code in the form of a webapp.

And if you're application is too big for a webapp? Then Java is probably too slow to be worth it anyways.

Java is full of security holes, performance is dreadful, readability is at best the same as C (in my opinion of course), and cross platform programming can be done in other languages more efficiently and much more cleanly (also slightly subjective).

My question to you, is Java coming to an end? Does this language have what it takes to cut it in today's world?

We have languages like Python, Go, C++14, CommonLisp etc, that make Java look slower than Windows 95 and have 10x the readability. If you use Java, speak up, why do you use it? Could you use something else? Or is Android and other legacy Java support going to continue to drag this dead horse around?

So I was looking through the HTML code that my co-admin had set up...

And found the weirdest pile of useless and broken code I've ever seen. I've since fixed it, but you can find the old code on the WayBack Machine (use the view source function in your web browser and scroll down to where the download links are)

Basically, he had skipped the table tag, made a table row, made a table cell and put a link with no text in that cell, closed the cell and made another cell with a working link, closed the cell and made a blank cell, closed that cell and opened a new call with the file size written in it, closed that cell, and then threw in another blank cell for good measure. Then he closed the table row and put in a line break. Then he copy/pasted this onto the next line. Confused? So was I…

Anyways, here's a screenshot of my vim session: http://i.imgur.com/V8niI3P.png

I know a transparent terminal session over top of Facebook chat isn't the prettiest, but it's either that, or you look through the code from the wayback machine link.

Found this priceless gem

1 Upvotes

While reading the solution for a problem of the OII (Italian Informatics Olympiads), I found this masterpiece:

while(1==1){
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        //other stuff
    }
    if((int)cycle.size() == n){
        //other stuff
    }
    for(int i = 0; i < (int)edges.size(); i++){
        //even more other stuff
    }
    return 0;
}

I mean, how do you even get these ideas?

I've given up on deterministic programming. My CPU has technical leukemia and the code is having a schizophrenic episode. Can you 'fix' it?

0 Upvotes

I grew tired of the digital prison of if-elseramas. I decided to stop pruning the chaos and simply let the silicon scream.

I built a branchless architecture that uses stochastic resonance to generate patterns from thermal noise. It doesn't pretend to be perfect; it simply seeks to exist. The result? Code that behaves as if it has technical leukemia: it constantly mutates and creates non-Euclidean forms that even I don't understand.

It's chaotic, inefficient, and illogical. If you're a purist, this will offend you. If you think you can refactor or debug it, good luck. But remember: the source dries up, but the mother doesn't.

Removing code errors

Load up terminal and cd 'dir'

then run rm <filename> and your code will have all current errors removed.

Tested with python,php and more :)
