    WHY IS THE HEALTH INPUT PARAMETER A GODDAMN STRING???

    Why are you passing ‘%’ inside said goddamn string?!?! Not to mention the static reference instead of the actual instance.

    Shame on you

      I guess its just a reminder that getting a PhD is often more about dedication than it is about practical knowledge.

      Honestly, if someone were to try to safe my life. And I find out he uses a string as a parameter to do so. Just let me die right there.

      The high level setter function should be made to handle both string and numeric values.

      If it contains “%” it’s a percentage value.

      If it’s a string without a “%” it’s an absolute value and needs to be normalized.

      If it’s a numeric value, it’s an absolute value.

      If it’s a numeric 100, it’s 100%.

      If it’s a subunitary numeric value, it’s a percentage.

        yeah I’m gonna go ahead and reject your PR, please change this function to accept a decimal value between 0 and 1

        Oldman.setHealth(“dicktits”); //normalize pls

        Oldman.setHealth(“-100±1%”); //make percentage pls

        Oldman.setHealth(0.0); //it is subunitary, but undefined behavior - will it access the ‘numeric value’ overload, or the ‘subunitary numeric value’ overload?

        Don’t write your own code just yet.

          Oldman.setHealth(“dicktits”); //normalize pls

          0

          Oldman.setHealth(“-100±1%”); //make percentage pls

          Reject operations.

          Use absolute number to remove the minus. Math.abs()

          Oldman.setHealth(0.0); //it is subunitary, but undefined behavior - will it access the ‘numeric value’ overload, or the ‘subunitary numeric value’ overload?

          Same result either way, so whatever if branch is first.

          Understand the purpose. If you want to kill the old man with 0, then there’s no point to leaving it as 0.9%, understand the non-linear characteristics of life and death.

          When you’re dealing with the low level functions, sure, you can keep it simple. When you’re reaching the surface of user input, you’re either going to waste time with validation and error reporting, or you’re going to waste time with interfaces that can handle more shit without complaining. There’s no fool proof either way, but good luck pissing users off with endless docs.

          Don’t write your own code just yet.

          If your goal in programming is just to be a traffic cop between the user input and the database, all you’re doing is building a virtual bureaucracy, the kind that people really hate and is easily generated with coding tools. Or you’re just deferring the “smoothing out” burden to the UI developers.

    See that’s the issue, he should have tried stopping the cardiac arrest process instead of just resetting the man to the beginning of it

      Patient HP kept dropping to zero after resetting, but we don’t have budget to investigate why and this was supposed to be worth only 1 story point, so we set up a microservice that runs a job every 200ms to set HP back to 100. So long as nothing shuts down the service, patient should be fine. Marking as Done.

    bash: sudo: command not found

    After all, we don’t know that he has it installed, especially if he’s running a really old distro.
