I read an interesting DailyWTF post today, "Out of All The Possible Answers..." and it interested me enough to dig up the original forum post where it was submitted. This got me thinking how I would solve this interesting problem - the original question is posed on Project Euler as: 2520 is the smallest number that can be divided by...
The Daily WTF for 2008-11-28 pillories the following code: static char *nice_num(long n) { int neg = 0, d = 3; char *buffer = prtbuf; int bufsize = 20; if (n < 0) { neg = 1; n = -n; } buffer += bufsize; *--buffer = '\0'; do { *--buffer = '0' + (n % 10); n /= 10; ...
I've graduated from college last May with a CS degree and have been working for a state-government agency ever since. This place, however, isn't like how I imagined the "real world" would be: I've been put into a small conference room (my bedroom is bigger) with 3 other programmers.

Function GetMonthLastDate(ByVal sDateTime As DateTime) Try Dim strArrMonth() As String = {"", "31", "29", "31", "30", "31", "30...
After reading this article on thedailywtf.com, I'm not sure that I really got the joke. It says there that some guy changed the code from int function() { int x; char data_string[15]; ... x = 2; strcpy(data_string,"data data data"); ... } to int function() { int x = 2; char data_string[15] = "data data data"; .....
I was recently on The Daily WTF when I came across this old post. In it the author mentions that one of the programmers changed this code: int main (int argc, char **argv) { int x; char data_string[15]; ... x = 2; strcpy(data_string,"data data data"); ... } To this code: int main (int argc, char **argv) { int x = 2;...
As every web developer finds out the hard way sooner or later, IE does not apply css styles loaded via ajax. I know I could just put that css in a more global place, but I'm wondering if there happens to be some "hack" or "trick" to get around this. Perhaps there is some javascript magic?
