When Default Sort() Gets Awkward

javascript-memes, sorting-algorithms-memes, emoji-memes, programming-fails-memes, unicode-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Ah, JavaScript's default sorting—where even emoji faces aren't safe from algorithmic bias. The code innocently calls sort() on an array of diverse face emojis, but without a compare function, JS sorts by Unicode values. Somehow the browser decided to arrange them by skin tone from lightest to darkest. Not exactly what the developer intended, but a perfect example of why you should always specify your sorting criteria. Remember kids: computers don't understand social context—they just follow instructions, however problematic the results may be.

While(True), If/Else And Switch: Hardware Edition

Whoever made this deserves a promotion and a pay cut simultaneously. It's a visual pun on programming control structures that's painfully accurate: The top left shows a bunch of Ethernet cables daisy-chained together - just like how if/else if/else if/else chains create a messy sequence of conditions. The top right is an actual USB switch - a perfect representation of a switch statement that elegantly handles multiple cases. And that power strip at the bottom? It's looped back on itself, creating an infinite power loop - exactly what happens with while(true) - an infinite loop that will keep running until your CPU begs for mercy or someone trips over the cord. I've written this bug at least 17 times in my career. My CPU still hasn't forgiven me.

Is This Right

Look at these American cloud giants getting the Toy Story treatment. After years of Stockholm syndrome relationships with AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, European dev teams are finally having their "Jessie moment." Nothing says "I've reconsidered our toxic relationship" like migrating to Hetzner after your AWS bill suddenly includes a 25% tariff surcharge. Sure, the documentation might be in German, but it's still more comprehensible than Lambda's pricing structure. Scaleway doesn't have 47 different database options? Good. I didn't understand the difference between the last 46 anyway.
