Welcome to /c/SoftwareGore!
This is a community where you can poke fun at nasty software. This community is your go-to destination to look at the most cringe-worthy and facepalm-inducing moments of software gone wrong. Whether it's a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!

I watched a video about these the other day some dude on YouTube seems to have hacked together a program to put whatever you want on them you can find the video here if you're interested here
Very dangerous. If you buy this, NaN money will be deducted from your bank account and thus your resulting amount of money will also be NaN.
Technically correct
Forget comparing apples to oranges. I'm comparing squash kabochas to numbers (they aren't)
Is this some fucked up form of sodium azide I'm too stupid to understand
Free squash.
Sodium nitride
Na~3~N
document.write(('b' + 'a' + + 'a' + 'a').toLowerCase());
This outputs "banana"
*old man yells at javascript*
Sadly the problem is that the old men are the ones who know how to use the JavaScript and the young men are the ones who have no fucking clue what they're doing anymore.
People are supposed to understand this kind of "logic"? No wonder everything is full of bugs if code is THAT obscure. You seem to even like it that way.
Watch this talk, it's funny and explains this well; this isn't a good thing in anyone's opinion, it's just a demonstration of one of many unfortunate design choices in the JavaScript programming language: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat
Oh god, no, everyone hates Javascript, the most-used programming language in the world. Paradoxical but true.
Tbh js is pretty pleasant to write with typescript, though is it even considered the same language? It is a superset.
Could someone explains this to some of us who haven't learnt these cancer yet?
Javascript has a tendency to "just work" even when it might be a better idea not to. That is achieved by making assumptions and defaulting to certain pre-defined behaviors where most other languages would just stop. Unless something truly catastrophic happens, JS always tries to find a way to keep the code running. Good or bad, that's by design just how it works.
That is an example of this tendency. Normally the " 'a' + + 'a' " bit should be an error case, because that does not make sense. Where most programming languages would throw and error and stop execution, javascript just soldiers on. It assumes the center bit is an addition of numbers. Except since there's no number there, it automatically injects the value that represents invalid numbers, which is "nan" for "not a number". Then, since that "number" is surrounded by letters, it parses that number into a text value, which is the string "nan" itself. And then finally it adds all the letters together to form a banana.
There are plenty of weird ways to get JS to give you stupid results back. Shit like these are not bugs with the language, it's just JS working as intended. Except the way language works as intended can lead to actual bugs very easily, is the problem.
Okay thanks for this info. So we got ba and nan and then aa, which is bananaa, not banana?
Jesus, I thought you made a typo until I tried it. Gotta love those unary operators...
Goes well with naan bread.
Did you try sum(squash[0, 3], na.rm = TRUE)?
That means it's free.
Careful there! NaNs are contagious like a virus. Whats 1 + NaN? NaN. If you try to buy it your credit will becomes NaN. Then when you try to pay it off your bank balance will be NaN too. It has happened to me. Now I owe NaN to the local mafia and they expect a payment this week or else they are taking my thumbs.
Sounds like prions.
If capitalism died of digital prions we would glitch back into the good timeline.
Not necessarily, they may just take payment in BJs
Nilfs.
well... it's true, that is not a number.
I'm sure it's got sodium and nitrogen in it 🤷
You can't fool me. Nan is flat. These aren't flat.
Nan died of a stroke. We buried her 3 years ago.
Kabocha. Amen
Composted , reincarnated
Little Bobby String we call him...
Sorry Nan, but we really need that squash
Not a nutmeg?
Finally, gourded Sodium Azide
Wikipedia: Sodium Azide... used to inflate car air bags... decomposes violently.
😎Neat.
Once upon a time, when programmers still tested their code before moving them to production,...
Is there a subtle way that one might damage these digital price tags to fuck up the store's aspirations at surge pricing? You know, so we can watch to make sure nobody does that...
Ay LMAO
Seriously?
