All fun and games until it turns out to have actually been a nasty memory corruption bug that your changes only "fixed" because now something else is getting corrupted...
Fun times.

@sslPoodle could it perhaps be the insert key?

I botch every Debian system I touch doing something like this. That's most of why I use Arch now.

@runfrodorun Yeah, after trying Rust, I miss the exception/try/catch, but at least I handle my errors the right way in one language now

@sebh0602
Imagine your code looks like this:

db.query("INSERT INTO Students VALUES ('" + name + ');");

Then your friendly neighborhood school tries to add your kid named

Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--

Well, then the query you run winds up looking more like this...

INSERT INTO Students VALUES ('Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--');

You can probably guess what a semicolon does, what DROP TABLE is, and that "--" is a SQL comment...

Alternatively...

@daintycode Probably not what's going on, but I do something like this every once in a while

All fun and games until someone writes if(condition = true) {...}

@slaat the idea is that both layouts are symmetrical but only require one night stand each

@slaat away from home right now and have a hard time drawing on mobile, but here's what I meant

@slaat Nightstand between two beds or at the end of one bed perhaps?

@D3add3d if you ever accidentally run it in your only serial console or something, ctrl-z and kill -9 %1 is my favorite way to take it out

Unity, YECH!

@ocab19
*ahem* real programmers use a magnetized needle and a steady hand.

Or C-x M-c M-butterfly. That works too.

@Justananon My first programming experience was on scratch. Started getting frustrated with the limitations and implemented my own VM before I even knew what a VM was. Wasn't very good. All it had was some control flow stuff and output, but it was cool when I was learning about all this stuff.

If I didn't have to deal with CSS, front-end (on web at least, everywhere else is a different story) would be a lot better. CSS is a styling language and was not designed for layout. It literally has "style" in the name, but nowhere in "Cascading Stylesheets" does "layout" appear. Flexboxes are the best thing to happen in the world of CSS since the invention of the computer, but still a long way from alleviating my headaches.

@deusprogrammer
x doesn't get reset after the first iteration of the outer loop, so it stays equal to cols and the inner for loop's test fails every time.

@DjSall So... not a Linux or data structures guy?

ctrl-z
killall -9 vim
emacs

Might want to get yourself an SSL cert. They're free from Let's Encrypt :)

And the edges aren't even antialiased. Yech.

@ghostbutter And no comments, don't forget that part.

Better make sure you've got SSDs.

@LicensedCrime I never even figured out dual booting Ubuntu with UEFI. I understand why MBR sucks, but until I figure out how to coerce UEFI to boot properly, I'm using MBR.

Heh, try Gentoo, or even worse, LFS. (but that doesn't really count as a distro)

CSS is pretty sucky for layout. It was clearly designed for styling, but not layout. Flexboxes do make it a lot better, though.
