This is my favorite. I did php early in my career and for years I would have to Google " equivalent explode/implode" because it was so memorable
Filthy barbaric PHP developers. It's Split() and Join().
Even the php docs says it "splits" the string when it describes what it does.
It could be a good name for a function that turns a container or object into a lot of variables, but I don't remember php supporting multiple returned values.
I loved explode back when I frequently used PHP
I love die()! but PHP has exit(), too, and it does the same thing
C++ is actually std::exit(), exit() is C.
Friends explained that to me, yeah. Oh well
Technically isn’t there semicolon ?

Well I didn’t wake up today expecting to watch a video about task manager, but here I am.
Now watching the Pinball video before going to bed.

Because?

I heard the sound when I read this
I have never used System.exit() or sys.exit(). What is a use case where you would call these explicitly?
For example if you want to set an explicit exit code. Calling python scripts will usually result in an exit code 0 after the script is run. If you want to set a different exit code for example 1 to indicate some error occured you can do that via sys.exit(1).
Same thing applies to other languages of course.
Applications where you aren't using some sort of framework. Usually MVC or other frameworks would handle this or are designed to continuously run.
Perl is funnier, as these are valid ways of exiting with an exception:
readFile() or die;
die unless $a > $b;
exit()-ing your step-sys already seems pretty explicit...
Libdbus: Trying to remove a child that doesn't believe we're it's parent.
PHP is so bad even PHP wants to die().
Fun fact: there's a shorter way to throw a NullPointerException:
throw null;
Because throw throws a NPE if the parameter is null
Why not simply throw null?
The proper way to do this in C is memset((void*)rand(), rand(), SIZE_MAX).
