I like my edgy and dangerous people to at have started shaving.
It is like those boy bands who make videos of themselves getting all gangsta.
You would think they would at least wait until the testicles have dropped.

I aimed in a program to check that if x = y
I wrote it as : If x<>y
I reviewed the code and ran the program, but it didn’t work. After several tries I went back to the code. I surprised how I wrote this when I intended the opposite.

I've done worse, even commented what was supposed to happen, something like:
void adjustBalance(boolean credit, long amount)
{
if (amount > 0)
{
adjustBalance(!credit, -amount);
}
}

Why, you must work for the US Govt! I think they have code like that for balancing the budget.

I've done worse (as have most people) in C / C++:
if (a = b)
... Or
a == b * 3;
You do feel a right fool when you finally spot it. Normally after a few hours of head scratching...and swearing, of course.

That's at least one good thing about Delphi (and Pascal in general).
:= is assignment.
= is equivalence.
Lots of other things you can screw up but not the assignment vs equivalence error.

Really ? Cool. You must be the first person I came across with to use it.

I do that all the time. Which is why I always test code like that extensively.

I've commented before on my brother's habit of having bits of his rotting bonce lopped off to stop him over thinking. Well he went to have a check up and the rot has returned, by the end of the week they'll start his next round of treatment; as yet undecided between chemo and more surgery. He and his family are pretty cut up as they thought he was clear. Mum is very low too.
All I can say is Elephant You Cancer! With a big rusty stick!

I once had a school mate with brain tumors. He died in the 4th grade because of it.
A very nasty thing... I hope it doesn't destroy your brother completely
I wish your brother all the best and your family the strength needed to overcome those bad times

+1 for the rusty stick, I hope you are all strong - cancer is a c**t.

Hopefully he started off with a good, high IQ...
Seriously: good luck to him, and your whole family - it's never easy when you have such big worries over a family member. Hoping it all works out well.

Not really, I believe the term is sick as thig pit.
His best hope is that he started off very fit and strong. He would regularly, 3-4 days per week, cycle 20-30 miles each way for work and go for 100 plus mile rides at the weekend.
