@Xanderhall Default arguments would drastically reduce the amount of boilerplate for functions.. in one case where I had to "support" registering a Block (yep, Minecraft modding) with a *required* block, an *optional* ItemBlock, an *optional* name, an *optional* metadata, and an *optional* model name. Each of them can be either taken from a default or calculated based upon the others.

Ended up with 18 methods.

And contravariant argument types. ._.

Adowrath

Dec 7, 2016 16:00

@Xanderhall I think default arguments are long overdue, especially because they can be completely implemented in the compiler..

Ah, okay. Yeah, the way they actually solved it with dozens of interfaces that do the same thing instead of introducing either simple Function1, Function2... "classes" with an automatic-if-not-declared-otherwise Void return (which diverges a LOT from the language) or just (which never, ever happens in Java) introduce a Callable<Parameters, Return> with Tuple types (Ceylon got me hooked) and thus polymorphic generics...

@Geobits As in how it introduces the type inference into its "system"?

Adowrath

Dec 7, 2016 15:51

@Geobits In what way do you mean "counted"?

Adowrath

Dec 7, 2016 15:49

@seequ And I am no believer in any of it. I think it's just hilarious to call yourself that.

Adowrath

@mbomb007 It is, it is, and I accept that. To many people, religion can be their salvation, and for that, it's good. I just can't find myself 'good' in it

He still has to wear the damn robe(s)

Adowrath

Dec 7, 2016 15:47

Let the man wear on his head what he wants

Adowrath

Dec 7, 2016 15:45

@mbomb007 Welp, guessed that, I just don't find it funny ^^ And religion on its own is pretty much the world's biggest joke, that's why I'm a proud pastafari :V

Adowrath

Dec 7, 2016 15:42

..some people define 'funny' strangely.

Adowrath

Dec 7, 2016 15:41

I don't get the one about the pope's hat..

@NathanMerrill Well, technically, the whole tree could just get displaced in a fraction of a second

Adowrath

Dec 7, 2016 15:36

"(If anybody already know this please help)" What does he even want to say by that?

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 23:02

Anyways, it's past midnight here, I'll get some sleep

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 23:02

I'll accept that

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC Where's my bounty? :V

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:58

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC Now that makes it clear, it's essentially a lastIndexOf until the location_found, isn't it?

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:57

Thought you'd be doing something with polyglots

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:55

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC But where? Isn't it unavailable once the loop's finished?

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:53

But then it discards the value in i, doesn't it?

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:50

Although I'm not sure how that pairs with the [] operator.

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:50

@noɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC What? I can only imagine it being something with the !=, due to operator overloading..

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:40

I'm not one to ask :/

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:38

Is anyone doing anything right now?

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:25

@Zizouz212 Damn, you beat me to it

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:24

@ais523 They literally tell me after a test that the UML diagrams were the easiest and most fun parts of the test. Telling them to make a method static, however, makes them ask "so static instead of void?"..

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:23

@ais523 ..my classmates do?

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:20

Same here, the only thing I don't like at all is programming in VB and doing UML

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:19

Too much regex for the day

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:19

..I literally just misread that as 'regular expression'.

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:18

Still a ways to go before I can even really plan to go to Uni .-.

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:17

@Flp.Tkc Rule -1: No rule exists after this

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:15

And not even that correctly.. this school is just.. ugh..

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:14

Nope, only learned standard JEE

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:13

@Zizouz212 Oh okay

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:12

Interestingly, he didn't remove the stars on "You can trust this message because it has no stars."

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:11

Hell's gonna break loose

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:10

Ok.

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:10

No?

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:10

Seriously, can we help Zizouz now?

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:06

I should really make an avatar though..

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:04

I know some other places where any newcomer gets shooed away until he's lived there for longer than a month without picking a fight with anybody

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:04

But, thanks for the warm welcome

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:03

@TuxCopter What's the difference again?

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 22:00

The stars penetrated the message

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 21:57

@DJMcMayhem Why not just trust no message?

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 21:56

@Flp.Tkc I think it was one of the "I'm an idiot" ones.

Adowrath

Dec 6, 2016 21:56

@Geobits Oh I did, we graduated. :V
