I was mostly complaining about an old Visual Studio project I used to work on.

I somewhat disagree with this. I've tried to organize notes and documents schema-first several times, and it's never worked. For instance, consider a system of notes where each note has tags: I write a note, come up with some tags

> have a look at visual studio SLN files. They are exactly what was described. You nailed it in one — visual studio is exactly what I was complaining about.

Yeah, that's true. For me, it'd be somewhat irritating to work without LSP features like "jump to definition," "hover to view doc string," or even tab completion. Arguably, these are IDE features. But when it c

The thing I hate most about IDEs is when they insinuate themselves into a project's development workflow so deeply that you can't make do without them. Do I have to spin up a whole session of the IDE just to run my test suite? Do

Yeah I hear this every time, but very few small modular reactors (SMRs) have actually been built on account of economic and safety barriers to building them [1]. Now, I'm sure these are soluble problems. I'm by no means anti-SMR.

Proletarians make a living off of wage labour. The Bourgeois make enough to live on off of investments in capital. Owning a laptop is perhaps a very tiny investment in capital, arguably, but it certainly won't provide enough passive in

I'm pretty sure they use perceptual hashes for matching CSAM. A lot of cloud services do this sort of thing.

Yeah algorithms in particular are where I'm hesitant to say "never explain how your code works." They can be dense, deeply-nested, and hard to break down into semantically-meaningful variables and function names. Sometimes it

You say that its thesis is (in part) to generally publish in static file formats, but that's not quite accurate. The piece specifically touts PDF/A as the best format and makes several arguments against the use of html/css. I

I think an important part of political mobilization is a positive message. Not just in the sense of optimism, but in the sense that there's a particular thing we want to create instead of simply wanting to destroy what exists right now

Insofar as they know everything anyone downloads from Github, sure.

Ah of course, yeah that must be it.

This may be a somewhat silly question, but why couldn't they just have used flashlights? I'm sure there's an obvious reason, but I don't know what it is.

Not at all. Untagged unions, sure, but no decent modern language has first-class support for untagged unions. First-class tagged unions are a real treat to use.

What a perfect analogy — wolves and lambs voting on what to have for dinner. In the absence of democratic governance, the wolves will just eat the lambs because nobody's stopping them. The wolf here is Apple. I can't make my own p

I suppose it further reduces the chance of a collision. If you're in a totally random space, there's always a chance someone will generate a collision if you wait long enough. But if you follow the timestamp and MAC address rules,

The statement was specifically that C had encapsulation, within the context of a discussion about whether OOP should be defined as "encapsulation, abstraction, polymorphism, and inheritance." You interpreted that as meaning memory

This is moreso automation-assisted theorem proving. It takes a lot of human work to get a problem to the point where automation can be useful. It's like saying that calculators can solve complex math problems; it's true in a sense

> I don't want to get into a debate defining what language is OO and what is not I mean, that is the discussion we were having. We weren't talking about language VMs.

That's actually really interesting, I hadn't heard of that.

Encapsulation is information hiding, where the internal components of a unit of code are inaccessible to its consumers (by fiat or by convention — see python's _private methods). This includes hiding procedures, fields and types. Conte

The way to punish someone for a false claim (both for claims filed on youtube and claims filed elsewhere) is to file an expensive lawsuit against the original claimant. It's very burdensome.

If we're talking about making guarantees about blocking the programmer's ability to modify parts of the address space, we're no longer discussing programming paradigms. We're discussing security proofs. The MMU does not

You must have absurd standards if you find dynamic dispatch to be unacceptably slow. Also, yeah, not every function call needs to be inlined. One level of indirection on top of jumping into a new function isn't really much overhead at

"Abstraction" as a principle is something we've been doing since we came up with function calls. Encapsulation as a principle is something we do when writing C code. The only one of the listed OO principles which is in any se
