    I used to be really frustrated with how difficult to understand academic papers are, but after gaining enough knowledge, I'm now a little more sympathetic - it's really easy to tersely express ideas with complex language, simplifying them requires a lot more effort and is almost always more verbose.

      It would be nice if someone would keep a dictionary for all the field specific words that have quite precise meanings. That way ppl could reference that source instead of spending one or more paragraphs explaining a single word or notation. Or leave it as an exercise for the reader to figure out what something means.
      edit: before ppl explain the obvious fighting over the meaning of words this would produce, I know but a potato can dream.

      It may be field specific, but I honestly rarely encounter papers, that are complicated for the sake of being complicated, as some kind of intelectual voyeurism. Most of the difficulty comes from not knowing the field, which cannot be easily overcome I'm afraid.

    One from my brother:
    Code purpose: Every time list is changed, sort list.
    Problem: sorting list counts as a list change, producing infinite recursion.
    Solution: catch exception when hitting max recursion depth, assume list is sorted at that point, and continue from where you left off.
    As he says: "if it works, it works!"
    [He did fix it the next day when he worked out the proper way to do it.]

    Catching and then rethrowing immediately is useful when you need a debugger trap because breaking on exception sometimes destroys the callstack legibility, I'm looking at you javascript. And then you forget it and push it to production.

    • @EbonySeraphim
      @EbonySeraphim 8 месяцев назад +3

      In the Java case, the debugger trap is useful as setting a breakpoint at the end of a function doesn't get triggered if the stack is being jumped/unwound. There may be advanced debugger features that can do this, but its much easier to combine basic debugger functionality with basic code and set a breakpoint on that line so you can examine what's going on as the exception is being thrown.
      A very similar (but not exact) reason to do this is if the caught exception is checked and you're just rethrowing an unchecked, or a different wrapped checked (ugh) exception.

      @MrDavibu 7 месяцев назад +2

      @@drewbabe
      If it hasn't changed it's necessary in Java to catch exceptions (elsewise the code will not compile), if you can't handle them you have to rethrow them.
      Thus the shown code is the only valid way in Java to escalate the exception upwards into runtime.
      It's not cringe in anyway, not every exception can be handled by a program, but needing to handle all exceptions leads to more safe code (defensive programming).
      I mean Rust does pretty much the same thing with an onEvent function instead of a catch block and people praise rust for this.
      Just because it's older way, doesn't make it worse.

      ​@@MrDavibu I don't see how putting it in a try/catch block would change anything in Java. I don't know if it was ever different, but when I've worked with Java the way it works is that a function can't throw an exception unless you include "throws Exception" (or some subclass of Exception) as part of the function declaration, and if you do have that included as part of the function declaration then you don't need to include a try/catch block even if something within that function throws an exception.

    When I wrote fizzbuzz for the first time I did it in Python in a way that you could pass the fizzbuzz function a dictionary where the keys are numbers and the values the strings to replace them with, so you could call it with {3: "fizz", 5: "buzz"} or {3: "fizz", 5: "buzz", 7: "bazz"} or whatever you like, with pretty much as big a dictionary as you wanted.

If you pass just {3: "fizz", 5: "buzz"} it will automatically replace all multiples of just 3 with fizz, all multiples of just 5 with buzz and all multiples of 15 with fizzbuzz. If you pass {3: "fizz", 5: "buzz", 7: "bazz"} it will additionally replace all multiples of 21 with fizzbazz, all multiples of 35 with buzzbazz and all multiples of 105 with fizzbuzzbazz.

    the thing is, the 'if/else' fizzbuzz solution is usually the most performant. It's just not scalable at all. Also if you add 'bazz' as 7 then would you also print 'fizzbuzzbazz' when the number is divisible by all of them?

    • @macfrag574

    Sometimes at work (in Go) we write functions that take a pointer to a boolean as a parameter, usually for a simple filter that has three states (eg: when requesting customer list get free users / premium users / all users). Certain higher level functions always need a particular list, but you can't just pass true because it needs to be a pointer, so I call it like this:
    true := true
    myFunction( &true )

    range = range[0..index-1] + range[index..range.size]

    }
    }
    if found break
    }
    ```
    There are so many better options one can choose. One, assuming no need to preserve order or immutability is to reverse the iteration order and swap the found item with the last [unmatched] index and then just trim the collection to the new size.

    I had to spend probably an extra week of effort debugging an application on a customer environment the dev team doesn't have access to because the application is riddled with exception catches that throw new exceptions everywhere so you can never figure out the full story and even with full server logs w/ annotated context and testing results the dev team isn't always sure what happened.
    I kept mentioning that it was unfortunate I couldn't know what the error actually was because of it. But instead of getting better, there were more catch throw new added and added.

      @@DagarCoH As long as you're doing _something,_ its justifiable (well assuming the thing you're doing is not in itself useless of course). Wrapping an exception to change its type or provide additional context is an extremely common thing to do.
      Its the rethrowing of the same exception without taking any other actions that's pointless.
      Actually as written, its somewhat dumber than pointless - its taking a potentially typed exception and wrapping it in a generic Exception. Just as useless as rethrowing the same one, but with the added bonus of shunting the actual exception information (including the exception message) one level down the cause/innerException chain and making it that much harder to find the real cause within the stack trace.
      Someone higher in the comments suggested this might be done to intentionally blitz the stack trace in case it contained sensitive information. That's a valid thing to do (though not really the right way to do it), but the code in the video doesn't even accomplish that task in any meaningful way:
      - If the logger fails to dig into the cause/innerException chain, then you've not only lost the original stack trace but also the error message, making the log message entirely useless.
      - If it does dig into the cause/innerException chain then you've accomplished nothing other than to make your log output longer.

    Can someone explain what he is talking about with FizzBuzz and a map? I understand a map as either a hashmap like a typical Javascript object or the Array prototype function map where you iterate an array an pass a function to run that takes each item in the array as an argument. I was trying to look up solutions to FizzBuzz that use a map (or Array.map) and I can't seem to figure out how that would make it more extensible or scalable that using if statements.

    • @macctosh

      You are overthinking it! I initially thought the same thing but realized there are referring to "map" ( iterate n times and transform each value ). FizzBuzz is so Trivial that it makes it difficult!

    • @altrag
      @altrag 8 месяцев назад +3

      Its the hashmap one. It seems overkill if you're only dealing with 2 or 3 replacements, but it shows that you could design a routine that might take maybe 30 replacements if you wanted without having to write a giant stack of if/else.
      Of course you can do that with just a bunch of single ifs (not else ifs) as long as you're careful to only print a newline at the end of them all, but the next question (to drive you to the "correct" answer) would be asking how the replacements could be configured / passed into the method externally rather than hardcoded.
      If they push you to the map solution (one way or the other), and you're sufficiently familiar with your language's data structures to know how to deal with it (because they'll obviously tell you to suggest an answer yourself!), you can ask if the order of the words matters. In most languages the basic map structure is unordered and since that's (usually) not the goal of the exercise the interviewer might not have been thinking about it (not that they wouldn't understand the question of course, just that it might not have been in their head at the time so bringing it up might show an extra layer of thought about the problem).
      Of course FizzBuzz is so well known its unlikely they'll push all that hard. If its used at all anymore, it'll just be as a basic filter problem and they'll focus on something more relevant (and less likely to have just been memorized from any of the million examples online).

    2:00 this shit happens in java with its "checked exceptions", it means that you can't just don't write this catch block, if a method throws "checked exception".
    So, what people usually do in this situation ? They catch this checked exception, whatever type it is and then just do in catch block something like this:
    throw new RuntimeException(e);
    These checked exceptions are exceptionally annoying in lambdas, such as Runnable, Callable, Function and others. Because without this your lambda will be just one line(sometimes), but you have to specify this catch block there.
    Or, they can use their own type which extends RuntimeException.
    But anyway, this example just means no sense, because as I remember, Exception is a checked exception.
    So in this situation, they literally do just nothing.

      using map with a json object makes the code scalable so no matter how many different things you put in it will work without major code changing. Its better to have one additional variable that holds the dictionary than having to add a new if statement each time you need to add a new thing.

    • @asdfqwerty14587
      @asdfqwerty14587 3 месяца назад

      Well.. I don't think it needs to be a map necessarily, but you definitely shouldn't be doing if(i%3 == 0 && i%5 ==0) and the like (unless you're absolutely certain that those values will never change and won't need to add more values in the future).
      I'd personally just write it as something like this:
      result = ""
      if(i%3==0) result += "Fizz"
      if(i%5==0) result += "Buzz"
      if(result == "") console.log(i)
      else console.log(result)
      You could use a map if you wanted to, but I don't think it would really improve maintainability or performance at all - adding an extra if statement isn't going to be any more complicated than adding another element to a map. The real problem with the original solution is that it's trying to check for every combination instead of just checking each individual condition and then concatenating the strings, which will quickly get ridiculous if you have more than 2 conditions to check for.

      Fizzbuzz specifies a relationship between numbers and strings. You can encode this relationship in an extensible and clear way with a map. For few key value pairs (two or three) using conditionals isn't two bad, but as you add more cases, it becomes more repetitive and noisy. Also, if you don't concatenate your strings and instead use separate conditions for combinations of base cases, combinatorial explosion will be your downfall, because the amount of ways to combine the factors will grow very fast. Using a map and concatenation keeps the solution logically the same across any number of factors and you only need to change the key value pairs you register in your map.

    9:19 :D i don't get why you would ask someone about maps with this BEGINNER exercise.
    Even if you do, it should like: can we improve that code to accept more that 2 numbers for checking (something like that).

      Yeah this annoyed me too. The screenshot literally shows the correct way to write a standard fizzbuzz function for numbers 1-100; from the code it's immediately obvious what the function does - it's not badly written at all. Part of programming is realising when writing something simple is enough to get the job done; as soon as you start introducing abstraction, maps, 'future proofing' when asked a simple fizzbuzz question you just come off as a smartass. It's a function used to teach absolute beginners for-loops and control-flow logic. In fact, if we want to be pedantic, writing this function in a 'smart' way will often just make it slower, since the compiler won't be able to apply the same optimizations it otherwise can.

    I legit did the emptyString = "" yesterday 😂😂😂. I think there was a good reason for it though. I wrote a function that did a lot of string manipulation so I figured it would be better to read emptyString and space than to read "" and " "

      I think that's a great reason. The true horror of defaultTrue, defaultFalse, and defaultEmptyString is not that we're aliasing easily-expressed values so much as that there's only 1 value of "true", "false", and "empty string" each, so there's no point in specifying a "default" for each of those categories

    3:25 I actually have to do that kind of bullshit because of stupid Sonarqube configurations that don't let me reuse the same literal value more than once...
