Really stupid things that people have said about Modded MC(Off topicness makes moderators tired)

[RavynousHunter]

Mutable as opposed to immutable - i.e. final. In other words, having an object that has properties that can be manipulated by other objects is bad programming.

It is one of the core concepts of OO programming.


I do not understand people who feel that using design features of a language is bad design, that a good programmer deliberately handicaps themselves by limiting their toolset, like when people say using automatic imports is bad form.

That I can see from one particular crowd: hardcore C++ programmers. Typically, your data fields are private there, and you make accessor methods for them. (Or, if you're using C#, accessor fields.) Mostly, its to control how things are retrieved and set, which I can partly understand, but if your accessor methods are just going to be "return field;" and "field = value;," then you may as well make it public.

Look at the ExtendedBlockStorage class. They're actually using half-bytes (aka nibbles) for that in the memory.
Accessing an element in such a nibble array basically goes like this:

byte value = array[index >> 1];
if(index & 1 == 0)
    return value & 0xF;
else
    return value >> 4;

I stand corrected. Its still an...odd way to implement things. I dunno, I tend to avoid bitwise operators, myself. Too messy and thinkin on 'em too long scrambles my brain.

It's kinda like std::vector<bool> in C++. Saving space in exchange for performance.

I think you may need to re-evaluate your friends...

I had someone accuse me of being sexist because I am male and did not give RC to a female developer....

This one guy saying "let's take RoC from Reika and give it to someone else" is still the best

Are you freaking kidding me??!?!

Their logic was that MC modding is 90% male (come to think of it, I can only think of two big-name female developers, and one of them has been sporadically present over the last 4 years), and that by refusing to "equalize the assets" (their words) I was perpetuating a "male-dominated culture" (again their words).

"POLISH NOTATION!"

Is it bad that I read that as Polish notation?

 

[ljfa]

- 2 / + 3 5 4
this is Polish notation

So, negative two out of positive 354...

No. 2-((3+5)/4)

Alcohol saturation will do less damage.
Heck- it'll probably regrow a few brain cells in comparison.
