"Compact code" is not orthogonal to "less code." It is said that you don't truly understand the problem you're trying to solve until you've implemented it a few (3?) times. Once you begin to understand the

I see now. If we add to the `enum`s and forget to update our `switch`, we still get the chance to process new commands, albeit with a minor performance hit. Personal opinion: Unit tests should be used to let you know when you forgot to add

I did. But not requiring the `if` at all obviates the need for this `switch` abuse. Hence my question about its necessity.

Did I miss an explanation somewhere? Why are the `process_` functions referenced again in the default case? That has a code smell.

Cute, but perhaps incomplete? If I leave the POV right where it is, and if I plan my artwork correctly, maybe I can build something. But if after I start, I decide I need to hang a voxel off the other side of an existing voxel, I spin the v

If you're assuming that I'd espouse lying, how are the "lies of omission" that you imply any different? The Right Thing To Say does not involve lying. It involves being careful; not oversharing. "Tell the truth in a

How would that even be enforced? You'd have to make it illegal for private schools to exist.

It seems we know the problem and its solution: > Ideally the linker would notice the ODR violation, but doing so ends up being expensive – you have to look into every object file to see if any of functions are defined in different ways,

It seems to me it'd have to be specified as a formula based on the "poverty threshold" and "inflation." I really can't imagine just throwing out a number and expecting it to be unchanged for decades.

It's certainly an incorrect prediction if I roll a six. You didn't simply state the odds and leave it at that, you actually made a prediction. Is it a "bad" prediction? Depends on how you're defining "good&quot

Nit: "falling on deaf ears" I will concede to typo/autocorrect, but wanted to make the comment in case someone reads your comment and assumes the phrase correct.

I feel this is the rub with this particular comment thread. If all they gave were stats, then they didn't make a prediction.

by delinka 10y ago
That's not a prediction of the outcome. That's a statistic. A prediction of the outcome would be "you won't roll a 6."
