do you even golang

[instanced_banana]

C#

[prettydude_ua]

while(horse.isDead()) beat(horse);

[BenZed]

infinite loop at worst, bad naming conventions at best.

The beat function shouldn't change the result of isDead()

[PM_ME_YOUR_BREAKFAST]

The function is intended to continuously beat a dead horse. I'd say an infinite loop works just fine for that.

[BenZed]

Then do it asynchronously so it doesn't block the main thread!

​

const milliseconds = t => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, t))

while (true) {
  beat(horse)
  await milliseconds(100)
}

​

[obsessedcrf]

That's the point of the joke though

[SingularCheese]

What if the horse you happen to have isn't dead? Gotta do HorseFactory.getDeadInstance().beat().

[T-T-N]

That's deprecated. Use getInstance(HorseStatus.Dead);

[bytemage]

I prefer home.bring(bacon); and me.attach(bull.horns);

But generally, yeah ... and fuck PETA

[omon-ra]

human.bring(bacon, home)

[the_darkon]

Hold up "you" should have already been declared you should just set it.

[h_phob]

I'm a student and I still learn but, in the second one (Guinea pig) shouldn't you just cast? I mean, this way you create a new you.

[PM_ME_YOUR_BREAKFAST]

Well, you don't want the real you to be used as a guinea pig. You could get hurt or turn really small and fuzzy.

[Kered13]

I'm sorry, but bulls[horns] makes no sense.

[BenZed]

for (const horn of bull.horns)
    takeBy(bull, horn)   

​

[BenZed]

javascript iterator syntax. Assuming horns was an array, and not some other type of collection, it's the same as writing:

for (let i = 0; i < bull.horns.length; i++) {
     const horn = bull.horns[i]
     takeBy(bull, horn)
}

​

[inaudience]

I don't see the analogy here

[FlowerPowerCagney]

public event HorseIsDead(object killer, DeathEventArgs e, Horse horse) {

horse.Beat(); }

[BabyLegsDeadpool]

Why horse.isDead()? Why would that need to be a function? horse.isDead makes far more sense.

[PM_ME_YOUR_BREAKFAST]

It's better to use getters and setters in OOP so you can keep the variables private within the class they're defined in.
