That’s when they don’t want you to bother them with shit you could’ve read on their website (or a more restricted FAQ), but also care about not telling you bullshit. So rather than going full AI with hallucinations and what not, they give you predetermined answers in a “friendly” AI-ish way.

I’ve also never seen any piece of software that would treat a single leading zero as octal

I thought JavaScript did that, but it turns out it doesn’t. I thought Java did that, but it turns out it doesn’t. Python did it until version 2.7: https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/functions.html#int. C still does it: https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/string/byte/strtol

Die Erklärung steht in der Pfosten-Beschreibung. Nach meinem initialen Schwall hat die Sache aber irgendwie ein Eigenleben entwickelt.

(Zangendeutsche jetzt wegsehen)

The explanation is in the post description. After my initial burst of memes, this topic seems to have taken on a life of its own…

Or even funnier: It gets parsed in octal, which does yield a valid zip code. Good luck finding that.

I think that’s too short-sighted. I remember reading The Great Gatsby and I didn’t like it, because it was so hard to decipher. That leads to either reading it only superficially or not at all. How does that help teen literacy?

If you want to increase teen literacy, give them something to read that they actually enjoy or care about. High-society of (literally) a hundred years ago doesn’t help.

For those who don’t know:

Speaking at a software conference in 2009, Tony Hoare hyperbolically apologized for "inventing" the null reference:[26] [27]

I call it my billion-dollar mistake. It was the invention of the null reference in 1965. At that time, I was designing the first comprehensive type system for references in an object oriented language (ALGOL W). My goal was to ensure that all use of references should be absolutely safe, with checking performed automatically by the compiler. But I couldn't resist the temptation to put in a null reference, simply because it was so easy to implement. This has led to innumerable errors, vulnerabilities, and system crashes, which have probably caused a billion dollars of pain and damage in the last forty years.

Sounds like any action move protagonist.

In my experience it’s the other way around.

Panel 1: Bilbo Baggins ponders, “After all… why should I care about the difference between int and String?

Panel 2: Bilbo Baggins is revealed to be an API developer. He continues, “JSON is always String, anyways…”

Meme transcription: Panel 1. Two images of JSON, one is the empty object, one is an object in which the key name maps to the value null. Caption: “Corporate needs you to find the difference between this picture and this picture”

Panel 2. The Java backend dev answers, “They’re the same picture.”
