All of you at thedailywtf are really getting too much mileage out of this. Not that I don't enjoy it. :-)

Probably a nice result of software evolution:

v 1.0:

return checkThis() && checkThat() && alsoThis();

v 1.1:

checkThat() is not needed anymore

return checkThis() && true && alsoThis();

v 1.2:

checkThis() is not needed anymore

return true && true && alsoThis();

This construction does reveal the isActivated() function has a history, it is not a stub just returning true because the compiler is going crazy otherwise ;)

OK, enough of the "humour"/twitter stuff - the key to comedy is:

a) timing b) knowing when to quit

Horse myHorse = new Horse();
myHorse.Kill();
do
{
    myHorse.Flog();
} while (!myHorse.Alive)

Joke didn't start funny, keeping it up doesn't make it funny. The dailywtf just got removed from my rss list as it is apparent that this is going to last all day.

I usually go for

  return !false || true || file_not_found;

to make sure it RLY returns what it should.

twitter, applying AT&T assembly language syntax to English one scatterbrained thought fragment at a time.

Seriously, what the hell is up with all the symbols twitterers attach to nouns? it just wastes those precious 140 characters faster.

As SQB says, clearly a Lewis Carroll fan.

Comments are called for! Why not in haiku format? That will keep them short.

To echo an earlier comment somewhat. I expected some snarky replies to this post. Yet I hunted and found none.

    public object Truth

      set

    public Me()

These mini-WTFs have been a lot better than the tldr; WTFs I've been seeing lately.

Read, understand, chuckle, move on. Great!!!

I hope they follow good design patterns and also implemented the reverse:

public override bool IsPassive() { return false && false && false; }

There should be an article with 47 words too.

TRWTF is that Java doesn't have properties

....This is torture.....

2009-04-01 Reply Admin

I personally would opt for

public override bool IsActive() {
  return true || true || true; 
}

That way, even if one or two of the trues gets broken, the rest will keep the code functioning.

After all, in mission critical applications the key components are commonly triplicated.

How can you see it's Java? Could be C# for all I know, which does.

It's an encompasing virtue that we all hold near and dear to our hearts. I know it was C#. The Java equivelent would've been the ugly sister.

No problem, there's an easy fix....

public override bool IsActive() { return true && false && filenotfound; }

I actually like these Twitter-style posts. More WTF posts, same WTF factor, no unnecessary filler. I say keep it this way. Really, I’m serio
