    if the getter and setter literally only gets and sets, at that point the only reason to keep it around is for consistency with other classes and members, if consistency is not an issue it does not matter at all purely style preference.

  4. Re:Mostly right, but a few problems. on Doom 3 Source Code: Beautiful · · Score: 1

    the problem with a class allowing other classes to fiddle with instance data is then the "rules" for what states that data can be in are no longer internally enforced by the function. very simple example: class Divider float numerator float denominator float Quotient()

    if somewhere in the program a 0 gets assigned to divider Div.denominator the error does not surface until Quotient is called or until some other place in the code happens to check if Div is in a reasonable state.

    setters and getters should be doing sanity and validation checks and even when they are not, they allow such checks to be added later once they become necessary for long term maintenance (obviously my example is an absurd simplification)

    you are not even required by any criminal law to accept legal tender in payment of debt.

    should the debtor offer you legal tender and you refuse, then you attempt to collect the debt at a later time the debtor can (and will if they are smart) raise your refusal to accept payment as a defense to your subsequent attempt to collect payment.

    i saw her video, bro, it was definitely her and her family was definitely pissed.

    how is bangbus/bangbros any different than regular porn as far as the line between prostitution and porn? the pro actors and the amature pickups are both paid by the company for their work, they sign model releases and shit. the scenarios are fake and staged but they do use amature models, either that or she was hiding a hell of a lot more prior to getting outed than anyone knew, but my buddy was a giant porn hound he would have known about it if she had more pornos floating around.

    rural districts can be gerrymandered by combining them with parts of an urban district, both sides can and do abuse the fuck out out of redistricting, currently the republicans are benefiting from redistricting abuse at the national level, but look at local levels and there will be plenty of democrats doing it too.

    apple design is stylish and easy for the layman to use.

    my mother has an ipad and the only "problem" she has with it is frequently forgetting which of about half a dozen very similar passwords she has set for her itunes account.

    personally i prefer the freedom of an android tablet and the raw power of my linux laptop.

    apple does not put out much that is truely unique and unheard of, but they manage to make state of the art easy to use and have a serious talent for UI. look at the ipod, and compare it to the interface of other devices of the time (and even quite a few now) which would have 5-7 buttons with unintuitive glyphs sloppily imprinted and difficult to see even in favorable conditions.
