  1. Re:The realization will set in... on Google Relents, Publishes Belgian Ruling · · Score: 1
    Well, it's not one newspaper suing Google, its the association of French-speaking newspapers of Belgium. If Google News doesn't index any of them anymore, news.google.be will rapidly become irrelevant for French-speaking belgian people. Those will just go to other search engines (Yahoo, MS Live,...) At least one of them will make an agreement with those newspapers, and that one search engine/news aggregator will become the reference in Belgium.

    Or using french or swiss newspapers. personally I prefer lemonde.fr, liberation.fr , lefigaro.fr, letemps.ch than the belgian newspaper

  7. Re:Walmart... Karl Marx's Dream! on Wal-Mart Controls Modern Game Design? · · Score: 1

    I m european and I think here to be socialist is more about agreeing that we need to provide basic service to everybody like healthcare, scholarship, ... This is based on the fact that socialist believe that the production of wealth must be distributed not equally but fairly.

    I think for a society it is smart to do this because it makes the society more efficient. If you allow a poor but gifted guy to make use of this gift, you are a winner. If you look for heaalthcare the ratio cost/benefit in US is very bad compare to the same ratio in France or Belgium because for healthcare it make sense to treat some disease before they are uncurable.

    One think I would like people to think about is what function must provide the State that will be more efficient economically for the STATE. I mean not for the rich, not for the poor

  15. Re:No language that I like better on What is Perl 6? · · Score: 1

    If you have a Turing complete language of course you can technically do anything but some stuff are easier or more difficult to do

    Of course You can implement a dynamic web server connected with a database in 6502/68XXX/X86 assembly but it could beeasier to implement it using java or php..

    But some patterns dont make sense if you dont have some aspect that you find in OO. The Visitor patterns make less sense without object and a factory that can only create static object is not very usefull.

    But really until you have worked with some framework/application that work with patterns it s difficult to truly understand what you can do with a patterns in oop.

    some stuff that are more difficult to do without oo like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_of_control

  16. Re:No language that I like better on What is Perl 6? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I was thinkink like you till I was hired in a company that use real OO technique.

    And I learn the beauty of OO and the very nice way to solve problems by using Factory, Prototype, Facade, Visitor Patterns. I can tell you that before I was writing Object but not thinking 'object' and that is very different.

    I agree its possible to code in Assembly using OO technique but it is really not natural and can be really tricky to do .

  21. If you see bad code don't comment, refactor please on Successful Strategies for Commenting Your Code · · Score: 2, Insightful

    OK, it s not always possible and/or desirable. If it is not broken don't fix it. When I see comment in code because the developer don't understand what happening in 8 level deep statement or in the little function of 10000 lines of code, please fix the code.

    there is basic rules to follow; not all exposed here it would be tooooo easy and me way too lazy :) :

    • Think before coding
    • good variable and function names
    • short function is desirable
    • don't do more than 4 level-deep statement
    • use javadoc for describing function and their parameters
    • Think before coding
    • use metrics to analyze code
    • use junit or other technique to have simple example of use of the code.
    • Think about the children^W maintainer
    • Think before coding (did I mention it?)

    Comments are there to

    • javadoc standard formal description for procedure paremeter,...
    • tell Why not How
    • explain code to avoid bugs in a library or third party code (if (UserAgent == NETSCAPE4) heightOfBox = heightOfBox * 10 /7) // to go around "feature" in netscape about the calculation of (...) see [browser bug workaround 3.2.5]
    • place inside method that need to be implemented or overrided
    • to explain very particular code for specific constraint like optimization or obscure technique but that need to be avoided and maybe the comment could be a reference to some more advance documentation

    NB: I know javadoc, junit and metrics is for java but...

    It could be really nice how to observe how to fight inflation or creating derived product or the ability to borrow money from AAA entity ... and the game could also gain something you find a very nice weapon that you cant afford... go to borrow from some entity who accept but for big interest and how to enforce the reimbursement...
