Doctor of Computer Science

stringly-typed "100%"

yeah that tracks.

Calls a static method on the OldMan class instead of the instance of oldMan that is actually dying.

Tonight's story: Every man older than OldMan.getMinimumAge() has been in perfect *unchanging* health for the last few months‽ To find out why, stay tuned! Our experts chime in to help you understand....

str(float("100.0")) + "%"

[–] [email protected] 82 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (22 children)

WHY IS THE HEALTH INPUT PARAMETER A GODDAMN STRING?????????????

Why are you passing ‘%’ inside said goddamn string?!?! Not to mention the static reference instead of the actual instance.

Shame on you

Also putting sudo in front of what looks like Java code not shell.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

Because the meme wasn't made by someone with a doctorate in CS or even a bachelor's.

OldMan.setHealth("Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--")

It's not his fault the world is made this way.

He just has to follow it or else that man dies.

They use a look-up table with every value from 0% to 100%

Smells like JavaScript.

I guess its just a reminder that getting a PhD is often more about dedication than it is about practical knowledge.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Honestly, if someone were to try to safe my life. And I find out he uses a string as a parameter to do so. Just let me die right there.

sudo rm /heart/arteries/**/clot
[–] [email protected] 66 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Very important to not hit enter before clot.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 months ago

That's why you have backups.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Isn’t it /dev/heart?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I feel like if your body follows the Unix filesystem structure, you have a real problem.

Please forgive my ignorance. What does ** do?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Acts as a wildcard for any directories that exist between arteries and clot.

You are not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Goddamn, the joke gets worse the more I inspect each panel.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

XKCD 149 but worse.

The font changes like 3 times 👌

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

They are a doctor of computer science, not a doctor of design. You need a design phd to pick correct fonts.

Can he also fix alzheimer's by hunting down memory leaks.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Yeah, he reimplemented it in Java to get garbage collection. The Alzheimer's is cured but he takes ten minutes to pour a glass of water.

bash: sudo: command not found

After all, we don't know that he has it installed, especially if he's running a really old distro.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Bash-Java

I wish there was a last panel of the old guy getting revived, I think it would be funny

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Is that Noel Fielding?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Have you tried magic, like Kadorto?:-)
