The Butterfly Effect: One Line Of Code Edition

Content " All the low priority bugs would be addressed in next release"

That moment when your partner thinks you're unfaithful but you're actually having an existential crisis about hash collisions. Spent six hours today tracking down a bug caused by two completely different objects returning the same hash. My code wasn't cheating on me - it was just mathematically inevitable. Sleep? Who needs it when you can contemplate the cosmic horror of identical checksums from distinct inputs?

That code is what happens when you tell a developer "we need to save space" but forget to mention "code readability" as a requirement. Single-letter variables, no comments, and recursive calls that would make even the Python interpreter question its life choices. The smirking girl in front of the disaster is all of us watching our colleagues defend their "optimized" code during code review while the codebase burns in the background. Remember kids, the next person to read your code might know where you live.

Content Is it possible to disable the network in iOS Simulator? Get personalized job matches now stackoverflow Get started 281 am trying to debug some inconsistent behaviour I am seeing in an application that gets its primary data from the internet. I don't see the issues in the simulator, just on the device, so l'd like to reproduce the network and connectivity environment in the simulator. Is there any way of disabling the network in the simulator? 17 Answers active oldest Use a simple Faraday cage to block or limit the external RF signal level. 1214 You can make your own with aluminum foil. The openings should be smaller than the wavelength of your data service if that's what you want to block. 800 Mhz has a 37 cm (14) wavelength, 1900 Mhz has a 16 cm (6) wavelength. This works better with an actual device than with the simulator since the Mac is hard to work on when inside the Faraday cage ;-) share improve this answer edited Aug 27 '13 at 19:56 answered Dec 12 '12 at 1:12 , progrmr 57.2k 13 88 135

The uncanny parallel between gambling addiction and our newfound AI dependency is frighteningly accurate . On the left: traditional gambling. On the right: the modern developer's slot machine—AI prompting. Both promising quick riches while delivering mostly disappointment. The self-delusion is identical. "One more spin" becomes "one more prompt." The house always wins, but in coding, it's your cursor (and the AI companies collecting your prompts). My favorite part? That moment of clarity when you realize you've spent 3 hours prompt-engineering something you could've coded in 20 minutes. It's like waking up in Vegas with empty pockets and a newfound appreciation for your day job.
