The second answer..

I have to rant a bit about the toxic reactions to a constructive Q&A website.

People keep complaining that they get downvotes and corrections, or stuff like that.

Are you fucking kidding me?

So you expect people to spend their own time for absolutely free, to help you, while you don't even want to invest in describing the issue you're having properly? And then complain that people are having issues in understanding your questions?

Let's look at this scientifically. Let's gather up some questions that have been received badly on SO in the last few hours. From the top (simply put https://stackoverflow.com/questions... in front of the id):

47619033 - person wants a discussion about an algorithm while not providing any information about what worked and what failed. "Please write a program for me". Breaking at least 2 rules.

47619027 - "check out my videos" spam

47619030 - "Here's the manual that has my answer but I can't find my answer in it".

47619004 - "how do I keep variables in memory"

47618997 - debug this exception, I'll give you no info on what I tried and failed. Screw this, you guys figure this out, I'm going out for beer.

47618993 - expects everyone to guess what the input is, what the expected output is, and whether he has read what HashMap is in the manual. But sure, this question is so far the best out of all the bad ones.

47618985 - please write code according to my specifications

Should I go on? There wasn't a single clear question about problems in code in this entire small set. Be free to continue searching, let me know if you find something that:
1. You understand what's being asked
2. Answer is clear and non-ambiguous (ex. NOT "which language is the coolest?")
3. Not asking someone to write a program for them.
4. Answer is not found in the most basic form of manuals (ex. php.net)
5. Is about programming.

The point is:
If you get downvoted on Stackoverflow - then you wrote a shitty question. Instead of coming over here and venting uselessly, simply address the concerns and at least TRY to write a clear question if you expect any answers.

A list of hilarious comment in code:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...

One that I liked in particular:

Best way to handle any exception...

} catch(e) {

}

try {

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
string uriToLaunch = "http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=" + ex.Message;
var uri = new Uri(uriToLaunch );
var success = await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(uri );
}

Android development sucks assssssssssss.
They FINALLY made a design system that doesn't look ugly so I thought might as well upgrade my old apps to it.

Publish and tonnnnes of crashes hours after launch.

Test on older devices and turns out some @color/material_xyz was missing in a lower API code BUT available in higher ones? No fallback, no error in AndroidStudio, just a runtime crash. Amazing

Then the location permissions glitch up. On lower androids even if you aren't actively tracking the user, the system tries to call some method which if you haven't overridden, the app crashes at launch.
And no amount of wrapping in try-catch-ignore helps (https://stackoverflow.com/questions... helped)

OH AND THEN the above solution if used on latest Android code33, CRASHES ON RUNTIME. so more sets of 'if VCODE this then ask this else that' bullshit.

I don't even need location it's just for better ad money ffs.

I've been team-android since Froyo and hate apple's monopoly, but if this is the level of their competence, many will jump ship sooner or later.

PS: yes I know I should've checked for lower versions before hand but Im not gonna make 8 android VMs to test all when different things fail in different versions.
I did have to do that in the end, but for a meh pet project one shouldn't have to. The system should have enough fallbacks and graceful fails.

OMG... this client is killing me...

So they are writing a Java / SpringBoot app for whatever. For some reason they decided to write it in the overcomplicated way, i.e. using a custom Spring's BeanPostProcessor that changes the eventual type of some beans, causing some weird ass issues, causing the app to fail to boot up if built on some systems and start up just fine if built on others (https://stackoverflow.com/questions...).

I've advised the client (devs) to simplify the architecture and avoid using type-mutating BPPs (bcz.. you know.. noone does that..).

Instead, the client created a task for me to "remove the build logic creating JAR packages" and another "Create a shell script manually assembling the CLASSPATH list and launching the application"

omg... what the hell is going on? Am I on camera? This can't be real... in 202-fucking-4 in a greenfield project!!!

I just scroll past this question asking how to get good at Git commands (https://devrant.com/rants/9997784/...). Figured I'd share my thoughts as a separate rant cause it's a topic I've tinkered with a bit.

So, My initial engagement with git-related queries on StackOverflow dates back to around 2021.. Surprisingly, one of my short and straight-to-the-point replies got a hand full of attention. You can check it here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/...

Now, about mastering Git commands – from my own trial and error:

1). Instead of trying to cram everything into your big brain, scribble down notes. Trust me, it’s more practical. I kept a cheat sheet of sorts as notes on my PC, noting down the commands I used day in, day out. Super handy beyond just work stuff.

2). You gotta get what each command does, but you don't need to nail it all at once. Spend a day diving into the basic commands. Leave the trickier ones for later; they start making sense as you get more into it.

3). I had this aha moment when dealing with a merge mess using a GUI tool. Switched to the command line, and bam! It made way more sense. The command line's like a secret passage to really understanding Git.

So, if you're wondering how to tackle Git commands, my take is: *notes, *baby steps, and *lean into that command line magic. Mix them up your way and see what sticks for you!

Today I found out some other assholes doing the exact same thing.

But this time their company name was not int the profile but the answer time was unbelievably fast. So did a google search and from LinkedIn, in that they work in the same company. Flagged the question waiting it be removed.

Question Link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions...

If you are going to maintain empty directories in your git repo then use the strategy of placing a file inside the directory called .gitkeep. Searching on this filename will lead you to a discussion of the same topic (hopefully, maybe not). Which includes a lengthy discussion on how the semantics of the file name is somehow more important than the answer of keeping the directory in the repo. My favorite part was someone claiming the file name .gitkeep was the standard way of maintaining a directory and others jumping on this person saying not it is NOT the standard way, and that in fact any filename would work. Misunderstanding that saying it was the standard probably only referred to placing a file and not choosing that exact name.

Basically it seemed to turn into an autists semantics fistfight in the comments.

Someone is that discussion claimed .gitkeep would lead to confusion if it was a standard git filename. I then found this:

Today I found a faulty design choice in java, that seriously makes me hate java. Basically java prohibits abstract static methods. This -combined with the poor design choices for constructors - means that Subclasses cannot have a common constructor or static method calling the constructor.

Basically meaning that you can't just map a collection to objects without handling EVERY FUCKING CASE, WRITING THE WHOLE MAPPING AGAIN AND AGAIN, ADDING A FORCED PORTION OF SPAGHETTI WITH EVERY CLASS WHERE THIS WAS NEEDED.

There seem to be other OOP languages with this faulty design. Can't say if I now hate OOP ingeneral or not, because maybe some languages may have provided a substitute for this

On https://reactjs.org/docs/... it is declared that useEffect runs after render is done.

However... if you put into useEffect an expensive calculation or operation e.g. "add +1 to x billion times", it will get stuck after updating the data, but before the re-render is done.

This leads to inconsistency between the DOM and the state which I believe is a foundational point of react. Moreover, the statement that "useEffect runs after render" is false.

See also: https://stackoverflow.com/questions...

The solution is to add a timeout to that expensive operation, e.g. 50 ms so the re-render can finish itself.

The integrity of my belief in react has received a shrapnel today. Argh :D Guys, how this can be? It seems that useEffect is not being run after re-render.

Hello, a question about Node project -

Why do people try to answer questions they don't even know what mean...
I want to use a package that's made for nodejs and it's using one of the core module of nodejs (http), so that's a problem because react-native doesn't have that module and I can't just simply install it (it won't work), so I search the web in the quest for a solution maybe a drop-in replacement or a polifill or something, I got to this question that's exactly what I would ask if I were to do the question myself https://stackoverflow.com/questions... asking for a polyfill to use http module in react-native, and the only answer is from a guy that I don't think he even knows what he is talking about, his answer don't make any sense with relation to the question and doesn't even address package http nor polyfill so obviously he didn't even know what the title of the question means...

If you don't fucking know something, just stay fucking silent don't reply with giberish stuff that don't have nothing to do with what people are asking. You don't have know it all, don't feel you have to... and don't try to answer stuff you don't even know.

I'm expecting my StackOverflow questiion to get shut down and some mod to want to piss on my corpse ( https://stackoverflow.com/questions... ) so I'll ask this here too. Anyone set up the open source Jenkin in a DR environment? I'd like an Active/active hosting solution but everything I read points to Cloudbee's... Post your answer on SO if you want, I'll vote up whatever looks good, but in case it does get shut down by the assholes with a god complex, please @ me :)

My journey along Java continues and so I have discovered something I didn't know before:

If a subclass tries to call a method on its parent which it has not overridden, then it will call the method as if you hadn't used the keyword 'super' (and I think it will try to find it in the classpath and SDK).

Example 1:

public class SuperParent {
public String test(){
return "SuperParent";
}
}

public class Parent extends SuperParent {
}

public class Child extends Parent {
public String testChild(){
return super.test(); // same effect as test();
}
}

public class TestInheritance {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(new Child().test()); // returns "SuperParent"
}
}

Example 2: with getClass():

public class Parent {
@Override
public String toString(){
return super.getClass().getSimpleName();
}
}

public class Child extends Parent {
}

public class TestInheritance {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(new Child()); // prints "Child"
}
}

This here is of course a special case: .getClass() will always return the class name of its caller, so naturally in this case it returns Child and not Parent.

You would expect it to return "Parent" since you use 'super' in the overridden toString() but it returns the Class name of the Child (then there's something in programming languages such lexical scope and execution scope, which I'm not sure if it applies here).

The solution for this example is of course .getSuperClass().

Inheritance isn't always straight-forward.

Why useImperativeHandle in React is bad?

I have component A. I have component B which is a child of A.
I have button in component A that should change how component B is displayed.

Usual approach is to set state in A, change it upon click and pass that state as flag via props to B.

But there is another approach via exposing ref to component B using forwardRef() + useImperativeHandle().
And then calling method that belongs to B from A. Like this: bRef.current.changeDisplay()

I put the process in back end. But still even for 10k records it took 4-5 minutes to process, Issue is everything works fine but since cloud fare response time is 1-2 minute so it through 524 error (as it does not getting any response within its time frame). How I am suppose to tackle this. May be using job scheduler now ? My client simply refuse to send small data. My Friend is suggesting don't use ajax, simply reload the page. But again data is too much so page loading will also through 524 error. Kindaa stuck here. Any idea/suggestion how I can proceed.

Now I need the same solution in C++. There is not a prebuilt combinations function in C++. There is a prebuilt verion of next_permutation. I can build upon that to make my combinations code. However, I am in the middle of trying to make something work. So I found this nice SO question:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions...
The code I ended up using:
template<class RandIt, class Compare>
bool next_k_permutation(RandIt first, RandIt mid, RandIt last, Compare comp){
std::sort(mid, last, std::bind(comp, std::placeholders::_2, std::placeholders::_1));
return std::next_permutation(first, last, comp);
}

template<class BiDiIt, class Compare>
bool next_combination(BiDiIt first, BiDiIt mid, BiDiIt last, Compare comp)
{
bool result;
do{
result = next_k_permutation(first, mid, last, comp);
}while(std::adjacent_find(first, mid, std::bind(comp, std::placeholders::_2, std::placeholders::_1)) != mid);
return result;
}

I am mostly able to figure out what is going on with the templates. I still am not understanding the basic algo behind permutations.

Our data set is tiny. 4 items max. So efficiency isn't really a big issue here.

How long do you spend learning how it works versus just finding a solution for the task at hand?

In general I need to spend more time learning different kinds of algorithms. So I should probably add permutations to that list of ones to study.
