Honest Work

Content TOP DEFINITION y f S Machine Learning 1. An Artificial Intelligence (Al) algorithm that proposes solutions to a problem after learning from several trial and error attempts. 2. A term that students use at hackathons to sound smart, especially when they actually have no idea what it means. Example (from a 2011 Hackathon): C Code: int main) cout"Enter your name"; cin name; cout "Hello, Brian!"; Brian: We used machine learning to greets the user, by learning their name. Brian won 4th place at the hackathon by Wammybarnut March 17, 2015 7 30 FLAG

The unholy inscription on the One Ring is actually just a regex pattern. Gandalf spent 60 years researching it not because of dark magic, but because he couldn't remember if \w includes underscores or not. Every developer who's stared at a regex pattern for more than 10 minutes eventually starts muttering "precious" and crawling around in server rooms.

Oh look, it's the "my code is basically just a long-winded love letter to the compiler" approach. Every single line drowning in comments that explain the blindingly obvious while adding zero actual value. This is what happens when someone takes "document your code" advice and cranks it to 11. You know who writes code like this? The same person who explains what a fork is while handing it to you at dinner. The real irony? After 7 years in the industry, you'll be begging for any comments in the 10,000-line legacy codebase you've inherited. Just not... whatever this crime against syntax highlighting is.
