Next edition of Clean Code review. I went through the comments chapter which I disagreed with nothing about. The author was very much about minimal usage of comments. I try to make all my functions verbs, ex: getName() rather than name() so I agree with the first part. But I think encoding...

Nobody knows, but I'd bet my life it'd be awesome. Dawn is made out of unobtanium mixed with unicorn dust.

You can get around doing null checks by creating some kind of pass/fail architecture around whatever you're doing, but null checks are more built into the language and easier. It's like the difference between building a rear facing camera that will buzz when there is a chair behind you vs simply...

One thing that both frightens and comforts me is that every family I know with 3+ kids and good parents has wildly different results in all their kids. There's good and bad parents out there, and they have an impact on their kids, but man is it weird to see a family of four where one person goes...

I agree. Good improvements. I notice chaining a lot more in Javascript than other languages. Probably because a null javascript value isn't nearly as catastrophic.

I agree but the first couple hours of the fallout games are survival games, and if you mod it the first half of them are. That is enough to give me the desire for it to be a survival game which is more compellong than some city builder.

Id want to see her do an article on what it means when you play an extremely racist dunmer in morrowind ans run around calling people nweh.

I like the xesign of the castle.

Thanks for the explanation.

Did he use lysterine?

Delaying your beta isn't a surprise. Delaying it 6+ months because one of your newly hired devs fell through is a really disconcerting event. I hope that as a game goes into beta, the programming tasks are tweaking feature complete modules, fixing bugs, refactoring systems, building tools...

Repost from science thread since this thread is more relevant: Given that we just found out basic information about pluto, as a layman I am totally suspicious about any information we have about a planet that is 1400ly away. My understanding is that they look at how a star wobbles based on...

hodj, you're wrong, please see my previous comment.

I think lendarios found a good solution. I'll have to try it out next time I'm in a clean code base to see how I feel. I think with some coding standards you do them for so long, seeing the light on minor shit like m_ isn't worth it because the light burns! Besides I have some 20 opinions of the...

yeah I think it's a good style.

Given that we just found out basic information about pluto, as a layman I am totally suspicious about any information we have about a planet that is 1400ly away. My understanding is that they look at how a star wobbles based on its orbiting planets, but I feel like without having a way to test...

Hodj, Iannis and Dumar are all equally wrong because the subset of RNA that forms lysterine through bianually linked TRT strands can form causalities through triple stranded nuclear pairs.

properties? What is this sorcery? I think the clean coding book uses an undefined language that doesn't have properties. I actually prefer coding books that are language specific both so there's no confusion on whether properties exist and also so you can learn coding styles that are...

Like I said I don't have a lot invested in it and only brought it up to hear counter-arguments to what I think, but how would you rewrite: You say change the param, would you write: At that point you're just suffixing instead of prefixing. Maybe you obfuscate that with: But you're really just...

Lol @ sc fans not wanting p2w.

So first entry of my rebuttal against the Clean Coding book. I actually like the book so far and have little bad to say about it by page 40, but I do have a few things. I'll start out with a practice I follow that I actually like, but can see others not liking: I find that functions perform...

Few of us will ever get paid to create a binary search tree. Even fewer will have good reason to create a binary search tree. You'd have to have a really good reason to need to implement a BST over the standard map in whatever language you're using. However, every true CS person knows what a...

It is still not a full pvp server. A server with zero peace zones would be great. But the reaction from most people is thwt it is too late.

I like solo combos when timing is involved and you have that extra spectrum of micro to utilize. Ex: figbting games.

Crispr is a really unfortunate name for a genetics modifyi g technique. "Hey wouldnt you like to put your unborn kid through our crispr system?"

Maybe I'm alone here but I don't know of anyone in this community who wants them to release stuff before it's ready. The negative folks, including me, say the scope creep in this project combined with their poor track record of releasing their modules increase the risk of this thing blowing up...

lol @ that belly to belly suplex

Bullet sponges are awful. The way you make Fallout hard is by: 1. Making resources very scarce. 2. Make playing the game poorly take up more resources than playing it well. 3. Make it so that enemies can kill you easily when you fuck up. It seems like with Bethesda games I need to add a...

Yeah we are in full agreement.

I'm sure you will get stuff like that, wheel or no. Dragon Age 2 had a wheel option that was "jackass response" and it was pretty funny at times.

A huge part of PvP is predicting (or finding out via spies) what your opponent is doing. Probably a third of my effort when leading largescale pvp is trying to predict what the opponent will do and how long it'll take. This is easy when fighting PUGs and very difficult when fighting organized...

I still like this game, like you and am glad you're posting about SC here, but this is the kind of virulence that comes out of a fan who is losing confidence in the product =\

There is a not insignificant chance if we have a girl next her name will be Furiosa.

Id like to hear more about this problem.

I bought it blindly when someone recommended it and I saw it had good reviews, it wasn't till I opened it that I saw agile and was a little disappointed. I feel like agile (And other 'how to write software' techniques) gets a worse reputation than it deserves because of the people being...

I bought this book: Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship: Robert C. Martin: 9780132350884: Amazon.com: Books because it's been a couple years since I've read a 'programming' book. After spending a small amount of time reading it I feel like it'll either have things I...

Why would someone be against multiple returns in a function?

Wow amazing.

Apoc looks dumb. That artist had way too much fun drawing Rogue.

I don't like strong rules but generally I agree. Exceptions shouldn't be used to control program flow, they should be used to jump the control up some number of layers. Some people overuse/abuse exceptions and it can end poorly. When I find a library written by someone who really likes...
