Thephrase was used as a warning that the code was pulling some serious stunts.My google search for this is pulling up nada; but I remember someone doing a search of google source for the phrase quite a while back.

I am particularly guilty of this, embedding non-constructive comments, code poetry and little jokes into most of my projects (although I usually have enough sense to remove anything directly offensive before releasing the code). Here's one I'm particulary fond of, placed far, far down a poorly-designed 'God Object':


Update: The original author of the code has outed himself so I must give credit where it is due. Dan McKinley left the company I was with shortly after I started, and he talks more about the code, explaining some background and a few more "WTF's" that 'Richard' wrote.


The United States Code is a consolidation and codification by subject matter of the general and permanent laws of the United States. It is prepared by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel of the United States House of Representatives. For currency information, click here.


Not sure of your congressional district or who your member is? This service will assist you by matching your ZIP code to your congressional district, with links to your member's website and contact page.


There is no central listing of member office public e-mail addresses. Each member of Congress establishes their office's policy related to the processing and management of e-mail. Generally, if a member has a public e-mail address, it can be found on the member's website. The office may list a public e-mail address or provide a form directly on the member's website. The U.S. House of Representatives does not provide a listing of public e-mail addresses for the elected Representatives.


The Find Your Representative service matches the ZIP code information you provide with a list of congressional districts. If you receive an error due to a missing ZIP code or incorrect member information, please use the Contact Webmaster form to report the problem. Select the appropriate error category (Report an error in the Find Your Representative service.) and provide as much information as possible to assist us in researching the problem. Please be sure to include: Your Street Address, City, State and ZIP code, the member or congressional district information you are trying to reach and the member or congressional district the service is reporting that you feel is in error.


No. The webmaster will not forward messages to congressional offices. If you are having problems contacting your representative, you can report the problem using the Contact Webmaster form, write or call your elected representative, or visit the member's website for alternate contact information.


If you know who your representative is but you are unable to contact them using their contact form, the Clerk of the House maintains addresses and phone numbers of all House members and Committees, or you may call (202) 224-3121 for the U.S. House switchboard operator. In addition, you may choose to visit your member's website directly for further information.


The Find Your Representative service is provided as a public resource for identifying and contacting a constituent's elected representative. There is currently no restriction on a link being posted to the Find Your Representative page at -your-representative to facilitate constituents in expressing their concerns and issues to their representative in Congress.


Send comments about the Find Your Representative service to the webmaster. Please note that messages for a specific representative sent to the webmaster will not be forwarded to the representative.

Like many these days, I use the web to continually update my coding and development skills. There are many great free resources out there if you look hard enough.



Of course, like many learning environments, there is also a range of different styles to suit any sort of student and any sort of learning preference. I myself prefer my tutorials to be hands on from scratch like examples, line for line, getting me to write out each section so it sears into my brain so I not only remember what to do, but I actually understand what is going on, in other words, I learn.



However, what is becoming, sadly more apparent, is the trend to provide quick fix, so called "complete" or "from-scratch" tutorials which promise a full learning environment, but end up with the first steps being to download or clone the full code before simply going through the rest of the tutorial editing rather than creating.



Now, there are certainly times where this could be useful, for example, when simply looking at a particular area of code. Yet for those tutorials who claim to offer a full 'A to Z' lesson, it is just an example of a tutorial for the sake of a tutorial and not for any actual learning, and usually in pursuit of the promotion of something.



Perhaps when it comes to such learning, I may be a bit of a purist, of course, its my approach. Yet for some of the big players, it can be a ridiculous and sometimes costly experience (at least for those who pay for courses). Sadly, I have often forked out for some online learning experience, after being promised a generous amount of hours video resources and such like, only to find its simply videos and links instructing me to download different chapters of a course, providing the code in various states of completion.



It's not me simply availing of my pedantic nature, there is real science behind learning by doing, and not by cut and pasting or editing someone else's mistakes. When I look for tutorials introducing me to "something new", I don't want to see someone else s "something old" , at least, not right at the beginning, anyhow. Certainly run an example or look at pre-written examples as an overview, but as for editing others work as a learning example? This frequently leaves me feeling lost in a new city.



Let me reiterate, I'm not entirely berating this approach, but I am writing of the many instances where "complete tutorials" are nothing but a ruse to promote and show others code and or products, rather than actually truly 'teach'. Making the reader, simply jump from snippet to snippet without actually learning the bigger picture. Giving the answers before the exam, isn't helping anyone.



Its appears to be frequently the norm with the more well known and big players too, with several offerings nothing but links and snippets (and often lengthy videos of hosts chatting nonsensically about themselves and what they do before actually getting down to going through any code. Sadly, this is also with the paid courses.



So for tutorial and online providers, consider us more pragmatic folk, who enjoy building things from scratch, even making our own mistakes, before reaching that state of coding bliss, we don't need a full app to start, only to finish, so we can compare. After all its the internet, not school classroom.








I would like to ask you, great teachers.

I am learning Rust Lang, the BASIC, C language is the origin of my programming, but after writing Rust Lang for a while, I have noticed something that I need to keep in mind. It is.


The more advanced you are, the more beginner-friendly your programming should be.

So I actually wrote the following code and solved it myself.,

rustc kept warning me, and it took me 8 hours to finally get to .


If you feel pretty confident with the starting material in Learn Rust - Rust Programming Language already, a good next step is Jon Gjengset's (aka jonhoo) "Crust of Rust" series over on YouTube. He goes into detail on specific features of Rust: why they work they way they do, how to use them, and how to figure out that you're not using them right. His other content is also excellent, but not everyone is into watching 5 hour streams. His book is also quite essential reading too.


Amos's blog is another excellent resource, but it's whatever weird thing they've gotten into recently in absurd detail; great for learning something, not necessarily for learning something you're going to use tomorrow.


I am crying reading this book.

I am crying because I have bought many Rust Programming Language books published in Japan at expensive prices, but none of them satisfied me.

I could not find a book that I could recommend to everyone else.

If you want to write hello world in C language, I recommend you to use man command because you can check it by man command.

Example)


It sounds like you are proposing that there should be different hello world programs depending on which language someone is coming from. That isn't a good idea, since the purpose of a hello world program is to test that the basic infrastructure is working (that is, it's as much about checking whether you can run rustc and cargo as it is about teaching you Rust), and identifying minimal required boilerplate (in this case, just a main function). Other languages have their own idioms and requirements that wouldn't be needed in a Rust hello world, and adding them is adding unnecessary complication. For example, your C program has main() returning 0 because that is how C signals the exit code of the program, that isn't required in Rust (exit codes in Rust are passed by either calling std::process::exit() or returning something from main() that implements the Termination trait, most commonly you would implicitly return () from main()). As another example, Java requires declaring a class to contain its main() function and requires declaring it static, but Rust is fine with functions not attached to types and doesn't really have classes like Java.
