    WHY IS THE HEALTH INPUT PARAMETER A GODDAMN STRING???

    Why are you passing ‘%’ inside said goddamn string?!?! Not to mention the static reference instead of the actual instance.

      The high level setter function should be made to handle both string and numeric values.

      If it contains “%” it’s a percentage value.

      If it’s a string without a “%” it’s an absolute value and needs to be normalized.

      If it’s a numeric value, it’s an absolute value.

      If it’s a numeric 100, it’s 100%.

      If it’s a subunitary numeric value, it’s a percentage.

          Ironically, the worst thing I ever saw a coworker do was to change a function that accepted an Integer value between 0 and 32767 to one that accepted a Float between 0.0 and 1.0. Perfectly sensible change except that it resulted in a 120 mph knuckleball fired a foot above a 10 year old kid’s head, followed by a fist fight between the client and my boss.

          Oldman.setHealth(0.0); //it is subunitary, but undefined behavior - will it access the ‘numeric value’ overload, or the ‘subunitary numeric value’ overload?

          Same result either way, so whatever if branch is first.

          Understand the purpose. If you want to kill the old man with 0, then there’s no point to leaving it as 0.9%, understand the non-linear characteristics of life and death.

          When you’re dealing with the low level functions, sure, you can keep it simple. When you’re reaching the surface of user input, you’re either going to waste time with validation and error reporting, or you’re going to waste time with interfaces that can handle more shit without complaining. There’s no fool proof either way, but good luck pissing users off with endless docs.

          Don’t write your own code just yet.

          If your goal in programming is just to be a traffic cop between the user input and the database, all you’re doing is building a virtual bureaucracy, the kind that people really hate and is easily generated with coding tools. Or you’re just deferring the “smoothing out” burden to the UI developers.

        Yes absolutely, the parameter even if not in a strongly typed language should be a specific number and the unit should be implied. Overload the method to support different units if necessary or provide a unit as an additional parameter instead of forcing the method to parse the string for any unit type hints that may or may not be there

        It’s a glob pattern (edit: tried to find a source that actually showed ** in use).

        Had to look this up as well. Its not rm specific:

        * is a simple, non-recursive wildcard representing zero or more characters which you can use for paths and file names. ** is a recursive wildcard that can only be used with paths, not file names.

        More here.

        They are a doctor of computer science, not a doctor of design. You need a design phd to pick correct fonts.

      Yeah, he reimplemented it in Java to get garbage collection. The Alzheimer’s is cured but he takes ten minutes to pour a glass of water.

    See that’s the issue, he should have tried stopping the cardiac arrest process instead of just resetting the man to the beginning of it

      Patient HP kept dropping to zero after resetting, but we don’t have budget to investigate why and this was supposed to be worth only 1 story point, so we set up a microservice that runs a job every 200ms to set HP back to 100. So long as nothing shuts down the service, patient should be fine. Marking as Done.

      Whoops, stopped the lungs process instead of the cardiac arrest process.

      Actually you really want to restart the heart service, right? sudo systemd restart heart

    bash: sudo: command not found

    After all, we don’t know that he has it installed, especially if he’s running a really old distro.
