9 lies programmers tell themselves

Part 1

 

Confidence in our power over machines also makes us guilty of hoping to bend reality to our code

 

I./ Pótold a hiányzó szavakat a hallott szöveg alapján!

 

Programmers have pride with good reason. No one else has the power to reach into a database and change reality. The more the world relies on computers to define how the world works, the more powerful coders become.

Alas, ……………… goeth before the fall. The power we share is very real, but it’s far from absolute and it’s often hollow. In fact, it may always be hollow because there is no …………………. of code. Sometimes we cross our fingers and set limits because computers make mistakes. Computers too can be ………………, which we all know from too much firsthand experience.

Of course, many problems stem from ………………………. we programmers make that simply aren’t correct. They’re usually sort of true some of the time, but that’s not the same as being true all of the time. As Mark Twain ……………………. said, “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.”

Kevin Deldycke’s GitHub-hosted list of falsehoods that programmers believe is a good example of how ……………………… cyberspace can be from reality. It’s a compendium that will only grow as others contribute their war stories. Consider it a good kick in the pants …………………. a thousand examples that say, in essence, “Remember, Caesar, ………………….”

My favorite may be the list of falsehoods about phone numbers. If you think that saving a phone number for a person is ………………… putting seven or maybe 10 digits in a database, you’re mistaken. That works until it doesn’t because there are country codes, …………….. numbers, and more than a dozen …………………. that make it hard to do a good job keeping a list of phone numbers. Is it any wonder that there’s a smug smile of satisfaction on the faces of the Luddites who keep their phone lists in a little black book?

Here are a number of false beliefs that we programmers often pretend are quite true.

Questions have one answer

The database table is filled with …………………………………

Database designers figured out …………………………………..

These solutions are better, but even they have limits, because …………………………….

There are several exceptions like …………………………….

 

III./ Válaszolj magyarul a feltett kérdésekre!

 

Null is acceptable

  1. Mit tesz az elbeszélő, ha ideges?
  2. Miért csinálja ezt?
  3. Mit tesztel?

 

IV./ Igaz vagy hamis?

 

Human relationships can be codified

Gay marriage is bigger progblem than Y2K problem.

The simplest solution would be to ban marriage outright.

If your code is wrong you will go to jail.

 

V./ Melyik szó hiányzik? Válassz a lenti dobozból! (A hanganyagot csak a feladat megoldása után hallgasd meg!)

 

”Unicode” stands for universal communication

There’s an ……………………….. committee that meets frequently trying to decide which emojis should be included in the definitive list of glyphs that ………………… human communication. They also ……………… aside certain emoji, effectively denying someone’s feelings.

The explosion in ……………………… shows how futile this process can be. If the world finds emojis too limiting, ………………….. them to turn to mixing text with photos of …………………… icons, how can any list of emojis be adequate?

Then there’s the problem of emoji fonts. What looks cute and cuddly in one font can look dastardly and suspect in another. You can choose the cute ……………, and your phone will dutifully send the Unicode …………………… to your friend with a different brand phone and a different font that will render the bytes with the ……………………. version of the emoji. Oops.
