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

I have one. "You shouldn't use these mods, because they don't capitalize their code right".

I haven't read your code, but his point on package names is convention. All lower case. Var names like Block b are fine as I imagine they're local? And classes can't follow a logical structure because that's not the way MC works. That guy should try coding a block with GUI *shudders*

Or the way she uses {} brackets on the same line as the function and if statements. I know it's contentious, but that makes it nearly unreadable IMO.

if(post.getUsername.equals("blockachella"){
post.getUsername.hitWithTruck();
}

Strangely, when I google "Reika" I get naked anime girls. Might be why some people think you're female

To be fair, I cringe when I see code written that way, too. Let me fix that for ya...

if ( post.GetUsername() == "blockachella" )
{
  Users.FindUserByName( post.GetUsername() ).HitWithTruck();
}

(I know, but its the Microsoft standard for all their classes and methods in the .Net Framework, and I hate it when my code looks inconsistently formatted.)

actually, I just googled reika..... and I now see why someone may have been confused...... particularly if their native language was Japaneese.....

That said, best to avoid pronouns until you've done your due dilligence.

if ( post.GetUsername() == "blockachella" )
{
  Users.FindUserByName( post.GetUsername() ).HitWithTruck();
}

My eyes just threw up

String user = post.getUsername();
if(user.equals("blockachella")){
    Users.findUserByName(user).hitWithTruck();
}

Or, if its not part of a larger series of if statements:

String user = post.getUsername();
if(user.equals("blockachella")){Users.findUserByName(user).hitWithTruck();}

All this, of course, IMO™

I can understand storing the user's name in its own variable, from a readability standpoint. However, if memory serves, it may not be the most efficient method of going about hitting a user with a truck, especially if its something that needs to be done often. Also, why the ".equals()" in both examples? That's...what the equality operator is here to do.

AAH! NO! Never never never! One thing I hate more than when people don't properly scope their single-line if blocks is when they try to cram it all into one line! Its so...ugly. *shudders*

I find Java sometimes equates == to be false, when the strings ARE the same. Especially if the string is created from say reading a text file. So I always use equals, or .matches(), as force of habit. I don't normally single line my ifs, just if they're inconsequential to the rest of the methods operation. And now you hate me

"==" tests reference equality. String s1 = "Potato"; String s2 = "Potato". Those are two separate memory objects. ".equals()" tests for actual logical equality, and defaults to "==" unless classes implement it otherwise.

Agreed. That does not mean I care unless there is a tangible penalty (performance, stability, or otherwise) for not doing so.

That's kind of asking a lot on an internet forum.

People just kind of go with what they know, with what they can associate things. If I googled every person I reply to on this forum, just to make sure I'm addressing them properly, I would be doing more googling than typing.

Hmm well I've had == be false whereas .equals() and .matches() be true so :/ anyways whatever gets the bloody thing working eh

Not to offend anyone here who's keen on Java, but...were the developers in charge of this language over at Sun Microsystems effing drunk when they made that decision?

Damn right! Other than being slower than molasses, that's one of my biggest gripes with Eclipse: it constantly pisses and moans when I use ThisStyle for naming packages...and everything else. I dunno if there's a way to turn it off, but it really bugs the crap outta me.

By due diligence here, all I mean is taking a look at their account profile....... and I'd argue that is only necessary if you find the need to use pronouns..... If like me you generally avoid them on internet forums it simplifies things greatly.

I only googled reika after I noticed the earlier post, but apparently his handle is a fairly common female given name in japan. And from the list of "famous" characters it looks like there are many manga/anime, and video game characters who may have spread the recognition well outside native speakers of the language.

iirc when I first ran into Reika, there was no indication one way or another. This was on MCF, and last year, so I can't be certain. But I too thought Reika was female at one time. No harm, he wasn't offended, just corrected me once.

If somebody has an ambiguous name, I'm sorry but...yeahh... Mistakes will be made.

Well there would be a 5% drop in complaints from those who know what the heck you are talking about and care. So what 3 guys.
That most be worth the effort of completely re-writing your mod.

haha, well... fair enough.

but it's hard to fault somebody for mistakenly calling you a "she" when Reika is a common'ish name for a girl in japan, that's why I thought you were pardon my yellow fever.

I would point out that in spanish tire is a masculine noun....... but that is a pretty obscure point to make on a forum.... lol

That, and you've got to have cojones to wear the sides of the tires like those.
