carols in code
geek, humour, social December 20th, 2010Programmers (and all geeks) enjoy Christmas too, so here’s my seasonal take on the #songsincode Twitter hashtag game. How many can you get?
var wenceslas = new Person({
rank: 'king',
alignment: 'good'
});
$.bind(FeastOfStephen, function() {
wenceslas.lookOut();
});
night.volume(0); night.opacity(0.5); night.objects.velocity(0.0,0.0); night.objects.gamma(1.0);
foreach (Person ye: people) {
if (ye.isFaithful() && ye.isJoyful() && ye.isTriumphant()) {
bethlehem.add(ye);
}
}
if (lord.isCome()) {
$('*').addClass('joy');
$.post('earth://', { king: lord });
$('heart').each(function() { this.addCapacity(sizeof(lord)); }
}
class God {
...
function rest() {
foreach ($gentlemen as $man) {
if ($man->merry) {
$man->rest();
$man->dismay = array();
}
}
}
...
}
we.each { | one |
one.wish(you, MERRY_CHRISTMAS);
one.wish(you, HAPPY_NEW_YEAR)
}

Argh, misplaced semi-colon. I’ll hand my badge and my code gun in at the desk.
December 20th, 2010 at 3:10 pm
I don’t think much of your repeated oldman.getHat() method chaining either. Get out.
December 20th, 2010 at 3:27 pm
Ciaran, I wouldn’t pass that oldMan.getHat() malarkey from a grad. Clearly there is only one solution: MANAGEMENT.

Hey, I was attempting to mirror the repeated structure of the song. Fine, how’s this:
ArrayList noels = getNoels();
Collection shepherds = fields.getShepherds();
angels.say(noels.get(0), shepherds);

Hmmm, comment thing ate left and right chevrons.
to you all, and to all a good 
December 20th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
Better, assuming your ArrayList is already sorted. Unlike certain data I have seen lately
December 20th, 2010 at 3:48 pm
…and also assuming you’re in pre-1.5 and / or not supposed to be using typed collections.
December 20th, 2010 at 3:50 pm
I was talking his word for it that your blog had eaten the types due to < and > #frontenddevknowsHTMLentities

Ah, stupid comment thing. Fair enough.
December 20th, 2010 at 4:02 pm
No, data sanitazation is good.
Otherwise some unscrupolous person could dump some javascript like:
alert(“XSS”);
into a comment and get it to fire.
Could be done smarter though, and is a pain for trying to enter code stuff.

And case in point, the script tags around that got et, rather than processed. (Which is what I was checking would happen
)

Oi, quit trying to h@xx0r my comments!

Fantastic, your Good King Wenceslas is among my favourites.

your god class is an anti-pattern. -1
func comeletusadorehim(){
comeletusadorehim()
//TODO Insert christ clause
}
December 24th, 2010 at 9:37 am
Which antipattern? A do-it-all class? That’s sort of the point of God though, isn’t it? Anyway, you have to expect things like this, it’s not like the universe was designed or anything.
