You know you have been doing too much when
« on: February 16, 2012, 03:41:52 PM »
I think I have been taking my job as a Java developer and playing AI war too seriously lately.

I had a dream last night, where I was tired of seeing the "Poor efficiency" rating on some of my extra reactors, so I typed on them something along the lines of
Code: [Select]
@SuppressWarnings("reactor-efficiency")...

Yea it was a weird dream. Does this mean I've been thinking about both Java and AI War too much?


EDIT: Belated title fix

I know the feeling. I copy-pasted a code-block to a buddy of mine the other day and missed an "s" in a switch:case statement. We both laughed a bit and then I typed

if (c.isWitch()) {
    c.Burn();
}

which we both laughed about for a quite a bit. So yeah...nerdiness :P

public boolean isWitch()
{
    return this.weight <= Duck.getArbitraryDuck().getWeight(); //Could of used this for Wood, or even this.material.equals(Wood.MATERIAL), but this is the most convenient
    //Intended to be a fair approximation of Water.willFloat(this), which is expensive, and in the worse case, can alter state in undesirable ways
}


(Double the nerdiness :D)

Sometimes, code infiltrates my normal speech, sometimes the otherway around.  There are a few lines in AIW with the comment "//bwahahahaha!".

My favorite comment had to be one you left in AVWW.  I just found it today.  It started out "this is as wrong as bacon ice cream, but it works."  Sadly that was code from the old citybuilding section, and so it was getting purged anyhow.  But I thought it was funny. :)

Hahaha, yea.  It was the CityStructure equivalent of changing a mkI fighter to an armored golem just by changing its UnitData reference to the other's type-data.  Except that here it worked because there was basically only one instance field that needed to be reinitialized.

Sorry, I'm the odd duck out here. I'm no programming nerd, but instead a language/grammar/literature nerd. And I can't stop looking at the error in your topic title and twitching.

Whie u gotta be dowwn on this's title?  Hes just doin' fine.



Hmmm... too much?  All right, try this: irregardless of what is proper, sometimes people say to when they dont mean too.  There usually just normal people typing fast and there brain uses the word that sounds right, rather then the word they know is good.

Unless you're on yahoo answers, of course -- them people can't speel.

Brain exploded yet?  :D

PS - As a fellow grammar nerd, despite what you might guess from the fact that I rarely proofread the reams of stuff I write each day for these forums and blogs, I salute you.

I'm a professional grammar nazi (seriously.), and not even I care much about typos when I'm not at work. Which is probably proof of my not working enough  :o

Anyways, I went on a 6-hour AIW binge with the Tigers yesterday. Felt like Rommel! All night long after that, I kept seeing transporters full of the little buggers, and Dyson Gatlings everywhere, whenever I closed my eyes!

Hey, give me a break. I was really groggy when I made the OP (I didn't sleep that well he previous night)

If it is any consolation, this post has a corrected subject
