Developers' jokes

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think, 'I know, I'll use threads' - and then two they hav erpoblesms.

A programmer is told to "go to hell", he finds the worst part of that statement is the "go to"

"It should be noted that no ethically-trained software engineer would ever consent to write a DestroyBaghdad procedure. Basic professional ethics would instead require him to write a DestroyCity procedure, to which Baghdad could be given as a parameter." - Nathaniel Borenstein

"I've got a really good UDP joke to tell you, but I absolutely don't care, whether you'll get it"

"What's the best part about TCP jokes? I get to keep telling them until you get them."

A SEO expert walks into a bar, pub, public house, inn, restaurant, club.

How many SEO engineers does it take to change a light bulb, lightbulb, globe, lamp, sex, xxx

A group of computer science geeks were listening to a lecture about Java programming at a university.
After the lecture, one of the men leaned over and grabbed a woman’s breast.
Woman: Hey! That’s private OK ?
The man hesitated for a second looking confused.
Man: But I thought we were in the same class.

In order to understand recursion you must first understand recursion.

A man flying in a hot air balloon suddenly realizes he’s lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts to get directions, "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?"
The man below says: "Yes. You're in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field."
"You must work in Information Technology," says the balloonist.
"I do" replies the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but It's of no use to anyone."
The man below replies, "You must work in management."
"I do," replies the balloonist, "But how'd you know?"*
"Well", says the man, "you don’t know where you are or where you’re going, but you expect me to be able to help. You’re in the same position you were before we met, but now it’s my fault."

Programming is like sex. Make one mistake and you end up supporting it for the rest of your life.

Using Subversion in Netbeans - solutions for all issues

Some mandatory steps needed after Netbeans installation to get SVN working.

0. Start position: svn functionality is not working. Item "Show annotations" in Team menu is deactivated.

1. Your subversion client version must match requirements by Netbeans. They are different for every Netbeans version. So check link - http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqSubversionClients

2. Show annotations menu item in Team menu is active now.

3. Navigate menus: Tools > Options > Team -> Versioning > Subversion . Select "Path to the SVN executable file". It is placed in folder C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin by default. If executable could not be selected, may not be installed in SVN installation. Ensure "command line utils" checkbox is selected in the reinstallation.

4. Update or any SVN action could cause "sslprotocolexception: handshake alert:  unrecognized_name" in Netbeans. This is caused by missing configuration in Netbeans.
Solution:
Copy folders named: svn.ssl.client-passphrase, svn.ssl.server, svn.username
from folder: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Subversion\auth
to folder: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\8.0\config\svn\config\auth

5. Finally solved! So enjoy your SVN client.

Skipping constraint checks in MySQL

Error
Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails

Issue:
mysql> update User SET id=6 where id = 8;

ERROR 1451 (23000): Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails (`database_name`.`table_name`, CONSTRAINT `FK_35jtu0049tkg8m9twhc03ii9` FOREIGN KEY (`customer`) REFERENCES `user` (`id`))

Solution:
SET foreign_key_checks = 1;
; execute code with constraint restrictions here
SET foreign_key_checks = 0;
