you know what? science has no idea what dinosaurs actually looked like. “oh they were all scaly” “oh wait sorry, they were kinda feathery” “no wait, we got it wrong again - they were actually made of terry cloth” “no wait they were 100% suede and also they were gluten-free.” hey scientists, we’re starting to think you don’t actually know anything. WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THAT HASHTAG CAMPAIGN IF THIS IS THE BEST YOU CAN DO, SCIENCE?

Chapter Fooooour. Just a head’s up: I’ve got finals this week, so Chapter 5 (and beyond?) might be a day or two late. Sorry, and see you soon! -Sav I clenched my fist, letting a combination of anger and a weird battle-lust carry me up the hill and straight into the raskvel’s face. His rifle […]

Each year, whenever summer weather faded and the air started to turn brisk, Craig knew that it could mean only one thing - a new round of interns would be arriving in the department. Sure, some were markedly better than others, but a little bird had mentioned to Craig that his intern-of-the-year actually had some coding experience on his resume!

Maybe this was why Craig let his intern run loose with what he had considered a simple spec. It was meant to be a learning task. You know - get familiar with checking code in and out of source control, explore the code base, and so on. The result? A 2,300 line source file named "Functions".

Eager to see what hell his intern hath wrought, Craig nervously opened the source file and came across these two methods sitting right next to each other.

public static string HumanLogic(object data) {
    string result = "No";
    if (Logic(data))
    {
        result = "Yes";
    }
    return result;
}

public static string BoolToYesNo(object data) {
    string result = "No";

    if (Logic(data)) { result = "Yes"; }

    return result;
}

Hoping to be a helpful mentor, and curious to find out if his intern was under the influence of one or more controlled substances, Craig arranged a meeting to review the code.

Craig constructively explained where improvements could be made and when asked why he took the above approach, his intern matter-of-factly replied, "Well, I didn't want to wear out the first one by using it too much."

(Our area has recently been hit with a bunch of fraudulent credit cards. We’ve been advised to double check IDs and cards. My coworker is checking out a customer and asks to see his ID.)

Customer: “What do you need to see my ID for?”

Coworker: “We’ve been advised to check all IDs. Besides the back of your card says to check ID anyway, so…”

Customer: “Well, I’m telling you I am not showing you my identity! This is ridiculous! Where’s your manager?”

Me: “That would be me, sir. You’ll either have to show identification, or use another form of payment.”

Customer: “Fine! Here!”

(He tosses his entire wallet at me. I glance at the ID, which is out of state. The man in the picture is very obviously not the man in front of me. Furthermore, the card is in a woman’s name. I slide the ID to the side and notice that another ID is underneath; this ID is to another person! My coworker has noticed this, too. He ducks around the bend, and I hear him calling the police. I pretend to run the card through and have ‘technical problems’, stalling him long enough for the cops to get to our store. When they search him, they find another wallet on him with various cards. He’d been using stolen cards all day without anyone checking them!)
