Quotes About Programming

ptrnote.cpp // array accessed with pointer notation #include using namespace std; int main() { //array int intarray[5] = { 31, 54, 77, 52, 93 }; for(int j=0; j<5; j++) //for each element, cout << *(intarray+j) << endl; //print value return 0; } The expression
~ Robert Lafore
passarr.cpp // array passed by pointer #include using namespace std; const int MAX = 5; //number of array elements int main() { void centimize(double*); //prototype double varray[MAX] = { 10.0, 43.1, 95.9, 59.7, 87.3 }; centimize(varray); //change elements of varray to cm for(int j=0; j
~ Robert Lafore
Build the kaizen habit of asking yourself small (and positive) questions... You are programming your brain for creativity
~ Robert Maurer
Point 1: Four years of software engineering experience. Point 2: Data analysis was his major job function. Point 3: Had C# and C++ programming experience. Point 4: Supervisor constantly said he had excellent report writing skills. Point 5: Trained new team members.
~ Robin Ryan
The ten-minute period before you sleep and the ten-minute period after you wake up are profoundly influential on your subconscious mind. Only the most inspiring and serene thoughts should be programmed into your mind at those times.
~ Robin S. Sharma
we see the world through a filter that's made up of all our personal programming. And we run the program so much we get brainwashed into believing that the way we are seeing the world is real, right?
~ Robin S. Sharma
The judgement-forming that I am claiming is the hallmark of consciousness is itself something that the AI people would have no concept of how to program on a computer.
~ Roger Penrose
Of course, I'd also suggest that whoever was the genius who thought it was a good idea to read things ONE FUCKING BYTE AT A TIME with system calls for each byte should be retroactively aborted. Who the f*ck does idiotic things like that? How did they not die as babies, considering that they were likely too stupid to find a tit to suck on?
~ Linus Torvalds
Of course, I'd also suggest that whoever was the genius who thought it was a good idea to read things ONE FUCKING BYTE AT A TIME with system calls for each byte should be retroactively aborted. Who the fuck does idiotic things like that? How did they not die as babies, considering that they were likely too stupid to find a tit to suck on?
~ Linus Torvalds
Given the girls' aptitudes in computer programming and design, this little enterprise could've gone on and on, growing in scope and size. From a fake university for student visas to a fake corporation for work visas, such as Charlie described. That revenue potential would be through the roof. Definitely worth the risk of holding two girls captive.
~ Lisa Gardner
Your adrenaline starts to go when the market opens in the morning. It's like sports programming.
~ Sallie Krawcheck
I don't watch a lot of television. Sports and news, that's it.
~ Larry Hagman
One of the most valuable things we learn from open sexual lifestyles is that our programming about love, intimacy, and sex can be rewritten. When we begin to question all the ways we have been told we ought to be, we can begin to edit and rewrite our old tapes.
~ Dossie Easton
Unix was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things.
~ Doug Gwyn
Nearly 70 percent of children's shows contain some violence, whereas 57 percent of nonchildren's shows do (Wilson et al., 2002). Furthermore, a typical hour of children's programming contains 14 different violent incidents, compared with 6 per hour in all other programming.
~ Douglas A. Gentile
We can't react in any meaningful way in this amount of time. But what about computers? For a computer, a half-second is a huge amount of time. So say you programmed a computer to see an uptick in a stock's price, send this information back to itself a half-second earlier, and put in a buy order." "I'm
~ Douglas E. Richards
During times of scarcity at least, yes. This is one probable explanation for why most life on Earth, including ours, is programmed to die." Desh's
~ Douglas E. Richards
When you have to do an activity consciously, you are slow and inefficient. Unconscious subroutines programmed in are just the opposite, fast and efficient. But in many cases, learned activities that become part of your unconscious wiring can no longer be accessed by your conscious mind.
~ Douglas E. Richards
Here are a few selections from Ridley's Rational Optimist: Page 27: Besides, a million years of natural selection shaped human nature to be ambitious to rear successful children, not to settle for contentment: people are programmed to desire, not to appreciate.
~ Douglas E. Richards
What appears to be happening is that something is being layered over a certain amount of MLF: it is MLF plus some human agency. And this human agency seems to have decided to 'stick it' to people towards whom the programmers or their company feel angry. This would explain why the searches for black couples or gay couples give you what you want whereas searches for white couples or straight couples are dominated by their opposites.
~ Douglas Murray
In the emerging, highly programmed landscape ahead, you will either create the software or you will be the software. It's really that simple: Program, or be programmed. Choose the former, and you gain access to the control panel of civilization. Choose the latter, and it could be the last real choice you get to make.
~ Douglas Rushkoff
If nothing else, living in a digital media environment should help us become more aware of the programming all around us.
~ Douglas Rushkoff
But the underlying capability of the computer era is actually programming—which almost none of us knows how to do. We simply use the programs that have been made for us, and enter our text in the appropriate box on the screen. We teach kids how to use software to write, but not how to write software. This means they have access to the capabilities given to them by others, but not the power to determine the value-creating capabilities of these technologies for themselves.
~ Douglas Rushkoff
As long as you and I allow others to program us in a way that fits their choosing, we are, without a doubt, out of control, captive to the whims of some unknown destiny, not quite recognizing that what hangs in the balance is the fulfillment of our own futures.
~ Dr. Shad Helmstetter
