Reply to: Racist coding. What does your coding say about you ?

[WTFH]

Have to do the occasional SQL update to a database. One of the fields is USER. The prefix in one of the main tables is AB.


Update proddta.****** set abuser = 'MyAgent' where...etc


(always makes me chuckle)

I am beavering away on a new module, whilst checking in at CUK every half hour to browse the latest hot topics. Then I started wondering if my very coding is racialistical.

let me explain.

I use a lot of global variables on this gig and I need to know if I am in add or edit mode

so I use gAdd , which is a Boolean

after gAdd ing all morning I started to wonder if It's subconscious.

What about you ? are you also a racist coder, do you send subliminal messages through your interface

I'd be more worried about your obsesion with a convicted Peadophile.....

I have been struggling with a problem, and was asked by some numbskull to invent some new data types !!

So I have come up with the 'Tyson'

two bytes and is non persistant


if anyone can help me here, I am grateful. something funny to make this gobsh1te go away

Schrodingean - can be anything, you won't know what until your code has run...

Adopt a more CplusEquality ethos, and you'll be fine.

Very good. However localisation is a PITA. Bloody foreigners, ruining our char *. Doubling the cost of string.

You should be using local, protectionist variables. Global variables allows them to come over here and benefit from our resources.

As I have said on many occasions
so long as the immigrants have the same values, I welcome them

so I initialise all my variables to 0 , or '0'



end of problem

I use rude words for my variables, code seems to work much better.

I remember, back in the day, a certain aircraft design had to have its acronyms 'cleaned up' .
there were two many examples such as 'Weight On Ground Switch', 'Cockpit Line Interface Terminal'.

Islam isn't a race.

[FatLazyContractor]

10 Print 'Screw Islam'
20 Goto 10

Is that racist or just common sense?

Racist and you deserve a ban

What about those coders who have white text on a black background? They're forcing their white words onto the black masses.

Oracle comments are grey. That's ageist.
