I saw a question on Quora about a new developer, who forbidden to write comments (he have to write self-documenting code) because comments take memory...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Please remove your comment! It takes up valuable bits of my memory

They make you remember the perverse thoughts you were having while writing the code.
There's a reason I block such things from my memory, I wouldn't want to be remembered!

Don't laugh too much. Back in the early 1980's, I had access to a Rockwell AIM-65[^] (built into a briefcase), and decided to write a Mastermind game for it in its built-in BASIC. I did so successfully, but one bug that still has me scratching my head to this day. My program had comments, but one of those comments caused the program to crash - remove the comment, it worked fine. reinstate the comment, it invariably crashed.
Go figure.
Cheers,
Mick

Reduce the font size - it takes less memory space that way.

That is precisely the reason we use semicolons to terminate lines of code now. Full colons take up more memory.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

We have meet someone of 42 who going to marry a second time (after he widowed a year ago) and my wife asked if I would do the same in case she dies...
I asked: Do you have any plans?
Now I'm sleeping on the sofa, so obviously the answer was wrong... Do you have any?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Well, you could have asked her to introduce you to someone...

it's obviously too late for my solution to all those problems: you can't get married a second time as long as you avoid the first time like the plague.

That is one of those questions that, regardless of the answer, you end up swimming in it. Your best option is to run away, very fast.

Not even planning to marry a first time, sounds awful

I've seen many of you mention a software for recovering a windows machines. I had a total disk failure, and lost everything. What was that software called, please???
|
|
|
|

Ah.
You're probably out of luck, I'm afraid. To restore a machine after a HDD failure, you need to use a backup of that machine as it was before the failure - and that means you use the same software that you used to back it up. Since you don't seem to have that, the chances are very good that your data is gone for good. Think about it: if you could just "magically" recover your data, how would RansomWare writers make any money? (Not that the b*st*rds deserve to)
It may be possible to recover some (but probably not all) of the data from a failed disk, but that requires serious work from professionals - and that isn't cheap!
Start reading here: Hard Drive Recovery Tips - How to Recover Data from a Dead Hard Drive[^] and it may be that you can get some of it back - but if it's critical info then don't mess with it too much (if at all) as you are likely to do more damage that may impede a professional's ability to recover it.
Good luck - but you are probably better off either abandoning it, or leaving it to professionals!

Thanks, Griff.
I am a professional. I have been working with SQL since before they shortened it to SQL (30 + years).
I had an image on a passport, but that has disappeared. I couldn't remember the name of the imaging software that you guys had recommended. I found it.
This is my training machine, so the only thing on it was various IDE's (Visual Studio, Intellij, SQL Server - freebie, etc). I am currently learning Scala and the Play framework for the position that I just got hired for, so I lost all of my training setups.
Again, thanks for the advice, and the quick response, it is greatly appreciated. I love reading the various entries in the Lounge and Soapbox, and have for years, although, I rarely respond to anything. I've used CP as a resource for years, not the stupid 'Send codez pls' type, but actual, real world applications. So, thanks to all of you who have shared your code snippets over the years. Someday, I will post some of my own.
