Your grammar is slightly off, so it's hard to understand what you are trying to say, but from what I can puzzle out, you are saying that each change made to a complex program can introduce unexpected and intended results. Therefore, the bedrock of good security practices is to test and retest the program until the majority of these results are discovered. Am I correct in this understanding?

What the person you replied to is trying to say, I think, is that the original design of these programs does not require trial and error. Most computer science college courses teach theory of design and how to structure and organize your work. This process is not "trial and error." You don't try something you think might work, see what breaks, and then apply a random solution that you hope fixes it. You sit down, create a design document, then you try to build from that design document using best practices and checking for mistakes as you go.

No, and No, respectively... see features of Trial and Error; the programming I did today was not trial and error. Trial and error is a brute force methodology. If you think that most, even a large minority of programming is done via trial and error, then you don't actually understand what trial an error is.



I had more of a response but removed the rest of it because none of this is relevant to the topic; it's not even tangential.

They're coding their butts off to make it handle managed transfer of a character between servers, and that's still a ways away.

Don't get your opes up on automatic, real-time transfer anytime before your hair goes gray.
Wouldn't they need to do this to have cross server PvP? Characters from different servers transferred over (for the duration of the match) to another server.

So still you say that all programming is done from the start and there is no trial and error ?
I can say if 68 <goto 63> c64 but according to9 you nothing has changed ? c towards c++ towards java it havent done anything

The situation you describe was talked about far more than it ever occurred in my opinion. I have about 30 other guildies over there who are just like me. They've used LFD many many times without being kicked. And when you read the posts on the forums there from the people who claim to have been kicked for this reason, if you read into their posts you usually find they are usually very unpleasant people that would cause me to drop group and requeue.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen, I just don't think it's nearly as big of a problem as people make it out to be.
lies, we all know the LFD tool killed community and everyone get kicked out of 99% of the instances they join!

yeah when I played I leveled solely by instance runs on my goblin. I never got kicked either and the few people that did need for off specs, oh well, I queued up again and ran another one.

No, it really hasn't. The theory of design does not change from language to language. Occasionally people come up with good ideas that get added to the theory, but "trial and error" has never been a 'good' method of designing code.

It's hard to explain until you've taken a few upper-level courses in algorithms and logic to really understand the basics of what programs are. But trust me on this one, good programs are designed, not just thrown together.

Nope but every code for the public have had a "trial and error"
Or what design are you talking about that havent had that?

I am more an ERP CRm marceting dude but that was just ridicilous what he stated

Didn't the lfd tool also assassinate Archduke Ferdinand?

the only people i remember getting kicked while leveling my goblin were folks that DC'd... and it's not like they suspiciously DC'd or anything.
