Ideally, but if a project wasn't written with tests at the time then finding a working time machine can be a challenge. If you try to add them later you won't capture all the nuance that went into the original program. After all,

Files are IO, which means a lot of waiting. For what reason wouldn't you want to open them concurrently?

> I wouldn't say that elections have little to do with democracy, they are necessary. Elections are a useful tool, but not strictly necessary. Obviously in the small scale the people in a democracy can simply communicate directly.

What's the use-case for block-level defer? In a tight loop you'd want your cleanup to happen after the fact. And in, say, an IO loop, you're going to want concurrency anyway, which necessarily introduces new function scope.

Current generation "AI" has already largely solved cheaper, faster, and more reliable. But it hasn't figured out how to curb demand. So far, the more software we build, the more people want even more software. Much like is to

I'm pretty sure your guessing is silly. I assume you are trying to be here in good faith, so make your case. Since it is not support for message passing, what else makes Swift have "strictly better OOP support"?

China also likes to claim it is a democracy because it holds elections. It is fair to say that the USA is still a democracy, but not because of elections. Elections have little to do with democracy. In fact, if the majority of the populatio

Just as you are welcome to come up with other definitions. Although last time you tried they ended up being quite inconsistent, so one does need to be careful if you want them to be useful. These definitions are not at odds with the discuss

by 9rx 8mo ago
Right, the former is what OOP is. The latter, encapsulating data in "objects", is functional programming.
466.
by 9rx 8mo ago
You can, but then you don't get any of what OOP actually offers. Message passing isn't the same thing as dynamic dispatch. OOP is a very different paradigm.

Same goes for humans. There are some wild exceptions, but most Go projects look like they were written by the same person.

Land is more or less worth the same whether it has a used house on it or if you build a new house on it. The trouble remains that the high cost of new construction anchors the cost of used houses.

It is not like I'm homeless. I would be the one upgrading. Except I don't see how the numbers make sense. You're right: The cost of new construction anchors the used market. Used housing is so expensive because new housing is

If one was freely able to move about the entire world you may have a point. Especially given current events, I am not sure the country in which that house is located would take kindly to many of us moving there. In a more practical reality

"Built in 1954" doesn't sound like new construction. Of course you can buy used houses at a fraction of the cost. That's nothing new. Maybe you missed it, but the discussion here about building new to make homes more aff

Nah. Rich people don't exist, or at least cannot last long, without a moat, which is an idea from the left. In fact, taken to the extreme, the left outlaws property ownership so that a few rich people gain control of everything.
