No other paradigm appears to be able to handle the complexity required to build the systems of today. Objects are very natural way to organize complexity. It's what let UNIX succeed where Multics failed.

Only doomed on broken hardware. I think that mitigating Spectre and similar attacks via software is a losing battle. Eventually hardware will have to be fixed to properly isolate microarchitecture state during speculative execution. Also

OpenBSD and its associated daemons is fairly well engineered. Systemd is not.

If we're just making up numbers why not assume you'll only drop gross bookings by 0%, or increase bookings even! Anything can be made profitable if you just invent numbers.

I would imagine that I phones has better roaming preference overall. But maybe having 802.11r enabled causes devices to be more optimistic in their roaming as they know they're not switching networks.

Right but that doesn't answer the underlying question of why countries wanted codes based upon their English or local names.
