Programming Jokes: Lame, Science & Math Jokes!

Sidenote: I started with QBASIC in school for three years, then moved on to Java (using BlueJ) for the next four years. For the last two years, I shifted to NetBeans at home, and that was a great boost to knowledge as I could quickly view documentation for every function and class. I think it is a good idea to start with languages like Java, where blocks are delimited by braces, rather than languages where an extra space can screw up your whole code, unless you are using an IDE.

No Pascal?

He was under time pressure.

(Sorry, I know that's a physics joke.)

Lame jokes need no further categorizing

No Pascal?

No, I didn't learn Pascal. BASIC → Java. Thereafter, MATLAB + Python (latter in college, primarily for numerical computation in physics). Side by side Android, MySQL, and some basics in C for Arduino.

I wasn't talking about you (why would you have learned Pascal?), but referencing the chart you posted. BASIC was my first language, but I would think that many of those who learned programming in the 1970's and 1980's would have started with Pascal.

Can we do write-in options?

Pascal - thought it was Wirth it.

Coincidentally, we have a new member who joined today, @Pascal pressure

what's funny about it was that Pascal was to be learning language, but so many people came out that Pascal morphed into one of the programming languages with which to write a serious program.

Vic 20 had Basic.
IBM came out with a Basic interpreter as part of its software package along with DOS if you bought an IBM PC.
Apple came out with Basic.

A lot of home learners acquired Basic as the language of choice by default.

Can you show us the handshaking protocols?

The IP layer involves an unreliable datagram delivery service rather than a reliable connection oriented delivery service such as TCP. As such, handshaking is not necessary.

See RFC 1149 for IP over Avian Carriers, RFC 2549 for IP over Avian Carriers with QoS and RFC 6214 for the IPv6 update.

See RFC 791 for the Internet Protocol.

Of some interest is the scheme for weighted fair queuing and the danger of excessive logging.

From https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2549:

Weighted fair queueing (WFQ) MAY be implemented using scales, as
   shown:

                                                  __
                                  _____/-----\   / o\
                                 <____   _____\_/    >--
                 +-----+              \ /    /______/
                 | 10g |               /|:||/
                 +-----+              /____/|
                 | 10g |                    |
                 +-----+          ..        X
               ===============================
                              ^
                              |
                          =========

   Carriers in the queue too long may leave log entries, as shown on the
   scale.

Not really a joke but still funny:

Did you know that ++[[]][+[]]+[+[]] evaluates to the string "10" in Javascript?

Not really a joke but still funny

And/or horrifying. Yet strangely fascinating. I feel a bit like this is a prototype of the Enki virus from Snowcrash (Edit: Or was Inanna the virus and Enki the cure? Can't remember.)

Did you know that ++[[]][+[]]+[+[]] evaluates to the string "10" in Javascript?

So, trying to work this out: +[] is a trick where an empty list is coerced into a zero, right? So it's ++[[]][0]+[0]. And the zeroth element of the first list is an empty list, so it's ++[]+[0]. Then the increment operator coerces the empty list to a zero and adds one to it, giving 1+[0] which then turns into a "10" via string concatenation for some reason...?

A developer's night is never complete without at least one "aha!" moment, and at least one "oh no!" moment.

I recall someone asking for confirmation that one is true and zero is false in C, to which some genius replied "1".

++0 would have been funnier...

It's funny because it's true.
