How to shoot Yourself In the Foot

[ShaunR]

I've come across various variations of this over time

How To Shoot Yourself In The Foot In Any Programming Language

What about Labview?

We need an entry in this prestigious list. Suggestions?

This is my favourite

C++

You accidentally create a dozen clones of yourself and shoot them all in the foot. Emergency medical assistance is impossible since you can't tell which are bitwise copies and which are just pointing at others and saying, "That's me, over there."

You create a toe class with all required properties and access methods and a proper icon, then a foot class with all properties and access methods, ..., then a man class out of all previous ones with all access methods, then a gun class with all properties, accessors and icon, a bullet class... Then you realize that if you want to shoot yourself in the foot, the man class, the gun class and the bullet class has to has a common ancestor, because otherwise you'll have class conflict on the wire. So you create it trying not to get crazy modifying all connector panes to allow dynamic dispatching (which means that you have change almost all controls to variants), you think hard how to name this class... Finally you start creating icon for it... after five minutes you give up, take a real gun and shoot yourself in the head. In the short time the bullet flies you realize that the only advantage of using classes in this case was to have fancy color wires instead of pink ones.

You wire a bullet to a gun and then to your foot, but when you press the trigger, the bullet shoots the gun and embeds the gun in your foot.

Just use the "Shoot Yourself" Assistant - until you get an "insane object" error

Use the Shoot Yourself in the Foot Express VI ... in LV2009.

You want to shoot yourself in the foot, but a race condition pulls the trigger before the bullet gets loaded in the gun.

shhhh....

That is projectile folding and is still in BETA.

It's very simple in LabVIEW:

Create a gun.vi with a nice gun icon and an indicator (wired to ConPane).

Create a foot.vi with a nice foot icon and a matching control (wired to ConPane).

Place both vi's on an empty vi and wire them.

Run the vi in highlight execution mode.
