All hoped up on oats. Wilfred had also dined on the finest alfalfa and hay that morning, and just prior to this beat down was thoroughly watered.

Can't point a gun at a well fed man and not expect him to go billy goat on your ass, nope. No sir.
 
I can just hear the driver in his own world going "Doopty doopty doopty doo...hmmm...pizza sounds good for dinner tonight....WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT???"
I know how that started out. Those boom trucks overhang the back 8~9', and you hook the ball up before you lower the boom into the boom rest, because pushing a 317# hook over to hook it up is just not happening.
The next thing you do is pull in line while you lower the boom into the fucking boom rest!

underscores in variable names = fail
function names starting with capital letters = fail

That billboard grinds my gears.
 
Ummm... the whole "while(still_alive)" thing is being called to determine if still_alive is still true.

Could get set to false in any of those 4 functions being called.

While correct - that would be sloppy and stupid coding. Checking if the variable for still_alive being true in an unrelated named method (such as "Wash_hands" or whatever) is dumb dumb.

So I'm just going with the person who created the billboard is a moron.

You wouldn't be checking for it being true in another function. The while loop is doing that. The other functions could very easily set it to false though and there is nothing wrong with that at all.

It is 'correct', but not good practice, from what I remember being taught. But since when does 'not producing immaculate code' constitute 'being a moron'? Seems a bit over-the-top. Is this just some sort of geek elitism?


Also, on the 'underlines in variable names' thing - is there a real reason for that or is it just an aesthetic preference or even a kind of status marker? I think I'd rather go with a boolean like Pen_is_up than the alternative.

I thought the idea was functions shouldn't have 'side effects', where they change variables that aren't their return values? Makes it harder to see what is going on. All seems to be taking a bit of advertising/health advice a little too seriously though.

only php devs put underscores in variable names

and nobody wants to be known as a php dev
 
This is just totally wrong.

Why is it? If a function changes variables on a global basis, that aren't passed as arguments or return values, then clearly that will make it harder to follow what the program is doing. Makes sense to me, even if I guess it would be hard to stick to that rule in all situations.

Possibly I'm out-of-date and that 'functional programming' style fell out of favour (for practical reasons?) but in what way is it "totally" wrong?
 
"hey dummy, what does it mean when a baboon shows you its teeth?"

dumbasses.

Got what they deserve too by throwing something at an animal like that. Not sure if it was food or what but seemed to be an aggressive motion. And asking for trouble if some place is actually allowing people to actually throw food into animal exhibits.
