@Norielle @teganburns the ide doesn't matter. I don't know if a single ide that doesn't show compiler output and if he's using a text editor he had to build by hand, which shows you the compiler errors just like a proper ide would.
-
@Charmesal I was thinking of this as well. There is no excuse for a missing semicolon. It's the most ridiculous error that you must be braindead to not immediately catch.
That's why I used it in the joke. -
@AlgoRythm I understood that you meant it as a joke. I was merely pointing someting out to those two lovely ranters.
-
@Charmesal I understand than you understood. Do you understand that I understand that you understood? Maybe we can reach an understanding.
-
@teganburns you told him to get a real ide. But it doesn't really matter. Any ide would give you the text output of the compiler. So when the compiler gives an error about a missing ";" the ide will pass this on to its user. If he isn't using any ide but notepad for instance than he'll compile it using the compiler itself rather than the ide (which he doesn't have in this case) and then he gets the same error from the compiler about the missing ";".
Short answer: ide isn't the problem. Disability to read the error output is.
I hope I've explained what I meant a bit better. I'm not the best at explaining things. Sorry -
@irene That's the point.
-
@Schroedinbug lmao
-
@Schroedinbug most evil thing I can imagine!
-
@Fantomias Worse would probably be messing with their compiler.
-
@Schroedinbug it is easier to find a compiler errors, than a Greek question mark in a perfectly normal line of code
-
@Fantomias What if you were to make the compiler expect greek question marks to end a statementment, and then replace all semicolons with greek question marks. It would run fine until they started editing it. First thing your victim would probably check is that their keyboard isn't remapped.
-
@Schroedinbug Fair point.. I guess, I have to accept defeat..
-
@Fantomias You must never accept defeat, unless you run into some weird threading related bug during a race condition.
Then you must accept defeat. -
@Schroedinbug I will follow these words, until I die!
Thanks mate!
*code doesn't work*
-Run three times, just to be sure
-Its NOT the code, must be the project. Full rebuild.
-Run a few more times after rebuild didn't fix it.
-Google the issue.
-Stackoverflow must be wrong. The code is JUST like their solution.
-Run a few more times, but with your lucky underpants
-Reboot. Must be an operating system thing.
-Tea break. Give the issue time and it will fix itself.
-Run a few more times. Still unfixed
-Contact customer support.
-Walmart said they can't help.
-Consider writing your own language without this OBVIOUS flaw
-Kickstarter for c++++
-Raise $50,000
-Start a family
-Contact customer support again
-Run a few more times
-Now banned from Walmart
-Oh shit, missing a semicolon
