[QUOTE=PiX06;38555267]Did you guys hear about the programmer who couldn't get to sleep?
He lay there all night thinking
[code]
while (!asleep()){
sheep++;
}
[/code][/QUOTE]
This is supposed to be a terminal loop joke, right, as he never got to sleep?
Yeah, it depends on the implementation of asleep() really. For instance:
[code]int sheep;
int asleep()
{
return sheep >= 100;
}
//...
[/code]
Would cause the loop to exit once he's counted 100 sheep. Although you probably shouldn't look too far into a joke.
One of the girls in my APCS class today asked "ARE WE EVER GOING TO LEARN C-HASHTAG??" and I died a little bit inside.

At least she's trying. :v:
[QUOTE=Wealth + Taste;38631724]One of the girls in my APCS class today asked "ARE WE EVER GOING TO LEARN C-HASHTAG??" and I died a little bit inside.[/QUOTE]
I was in my Microsoft Access course a couple weeks ago, and my professor was teaching us input masking, and she told us to use the hashtag to represent something or other, I too died a little bit inside.
Whats worse?
In my Intro to programming that I took 2 semesters back, the professor asked us our name, or major, and any past programming experience. 1 person said HTML, and that followed a line of others saying HTML.
I said all the languages I know, and then after said "Also, HTML is not a programming language".
And sat down like the nerd of the class.
ugh, "hashtag". please, call it by a real name - [b]Octothorpe[/b]

But it's not that, it's a sharp sign:

EDIT: Actually going by wikipedia, "#" was chosen to be the written form, however they do intend the sharp sign and use it when possible.

I wasn't talking about C Sharp.
A hashtag and the octothorpe symbol are two completely different things.
If Santa had to make a list, and check it twice, and then filter it by naughty or nice... how would you do it?
You think Santa uses C#? Or Prob PHP with MySql.
:P

How about Sybase and ASE ISQL?
The main database software where I work is Sybase. Should be able to handle the strain of filtering out the naughty children
I spent an hour untangling Christmas lights in the Australian heat today. All I could think of was "The halting problem's one exception is proving this never ends."
Actually there are quite a few programs that halt predictably, "while(true);" being an example. The halting problem applies to programs in general, stating that there's no algorithm that can decide on the halting of all programs.
In other words, you're not alone there buddy <3
body = money(honey(body));
[I]
Let's take my body and we'll cover it with honey
Stick some money to the honey
Now I'm covered in money, honey

Not a joke per se, but I laugh and think about this quote whenever I see rand()
Any one who considers arithmetical methods of producing random digits is, of course, in a state of sin.
- John von Neumann
I always referred to it as a hash[b]mark[/b], a hash[b]tag[/b] requires there to be a word after the hashmark (e.g. #dickgirls would be a hashtag, just plain # would not)
I call it the number sign, the hash, and the pound sign
It's always been hash to me, since £ is pound.
It's called 'fence' or cardinal sign in Dutch.
no
its the tic-tac-toe sign
I guess this isn't 100% programming related but I can't find any better place to put it.
So this is a book review by Jergan. A man who thought he was a programmer because he was "good with email and word".
[img]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51VHKHBC93L._SL110_.jpg[/img]
"I needed to learn C to make a device driver for work. I told them I knew C because I am good with email and word so they hired me. This book is too slow paced at the beginning but then starts talking about all kinds of crazy computer concepts that I never heard of and have nothing to do with email or the internet or device drivers like integers and main and void. I ended up getting fired after only 2 months. It was ok because this job paid more in 2 months than any other job I ever had paid in a year plus I got a month of severance, but it would have been nice to keep my job."
He've made many other hilarious Amazon reviews. Not exactly sure if he's serious.
If you read his reviews I'm sure you will get a laugh.

So that's why he only shows up once a year!
Why do programmers flush() before they close()?

Too sophisticated for me, I don't get it :c.
