My favourite is the --> "operator".
int counter = 10;
while (counter --> 0)
{
}
Some people consider it ugly.

Brilliant!
I actually Googled to find whether that "operator" really exists in C++!

That is a mistake. k obviously is a pointer and ++k will not increment this pointer by just 1 byte. It will increment it by the size of the type of k. Try it out and examine the memory address k points to in the debugger in both versions.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

I think you're mistaken. k gets assigned j + sizeof(*j) , not j + sizeof(*k) . Hopefully j and k are compatible pointer types.
Edit: I'm not sure what k = j + 1 has to do with ++k . In any case, ++k does not increment by the size of the type of k, but rather by the size of the type k references.

Thinking it's 21st century I registered with my name (Blažko, note so called soft z in the middle) and published something like an eBook.
Than I found that in some situations I see there my name as Blažko (what I reported them), even directly book's page is OK.
Later, after filling form (where is already no chance to change any name) I got this wonderful reply:
"Unfortunately, we are unable to approve your ad as your book's author name violates one of our ad guideline policies. i.e; the cover page has the name which is not correctly displayed/spelled."
ROTFL (There is no problem with cover page[^].)
(Actually they already "reached out to our technical team to investigate this issue. We'll contact you with more information by the end of the day on October 13, 2015.")

if you have ever wrote a proxy server and just wanted to relay SSL data then you just need to read the HTTPS connect to get the host name and then join the client socket to a server socket and pump the data between sockets.
Doing MITM after first installing a CA certificate on the client machine so that it works in stealth mode is not so easy and you need to use a SSL-Stream to authenticate with both the client and server to decrypt the data.
Trouble is a SSL-Stream in stealth mode won't give you the host name and if you read the socket that the SSL-Stream is conncted to so you can parse the host name from the stream then the SSL-Stream won't work, it's read forwards only.
So how did i patch this up to work using .NET 3.5 ?
Well i used something like two proxy servers and the first one read the socket stream to extract the host-name and then relayed the data to a second proxy that connected a SSL-Stream to the incoming net.socket and then asked the first proxy for the host name.
browser->host-name-proxy->MITM Proxy->Internet
OK i wrapped it up inside a single class so that it all worked inside a single proxy server on the same process id but i must be very cleaver for thinking outside the box and getting something to work or went about it all wrong and must be very stupi.
Maybe I needed to use some other network base class.

Looks like the work of a tool. Unlikely that developer wrote it.
Mysteries remain, two of which are:
- How come the other entries (like Rock Gardens, Parkdale) don't have it?
- How come the 'obscure Firefox glitch', first reported in 2004 is still under resolution?

I think Firefox shouldn't resolve this "glitch." Trying to lock up the browser by rendering a million things? Not this time.

Ah yes, we all looked like that when we were "currently starting out". After 20 years though, it all ends up the same way[^]..

this was from a year or two ago...really!
I was investing a batch scheduling issue using CA-Scheduler.
The program in COBOL had the following code (paraphrased as I've forgotten it all).
TestTime:
If time <> 2am then
Wait 1 second
Goto testTime
End If
This program at the beginning of a schedule of 1,200 nightly would start somewhere usually between 11:30 and midnight because of changes to the schedule.
It worked like this for 5 years before anyone challenged what was happening with the batch cycle.
On review the programmer put the code in because the tester insisted on seeing the code work at 2am...there is no scheduler in developement or UAT, and of course the code never ever came out....
Once fixed the schedule dropped from 9 hours to less than 4....
Go testers!!!
