> inheritance is bad That depends. Inheritance makes it easy to break encapsulation (which is bad -- agreed). It can be hard to model "Is-A"-Relationships properly, but I wouldn't call it inherently bad. A circle isn'

Yes, why not have max and pow as objects? `max` and `pow` can either run eagerly (as functions) or they can run lazily and allow for interesting lazy things. For example, if you put them into a lazy object graph, you could perform optimizin

I am not sure I understand your differentiation of explicit and implicit state. I believe you refer to Objects that change their internal values over time; in that calling the same function twice yields different results. Of course, such ob

Reducing OOP to implementation detail features will yield poor results. The flexibility stems from an improved means of analysis in that types and entities can be identified more easily. By using classes and objects you're retaining fl

Thank you for your reply. I am not sure what you are trying to do with your clarification here, but I feel even worse about Terminal and your employer. > ~1-5% of those entries make it into a data pipeline that I believe we stopped looki

I find it outrageous; "Telemetry" is built into most new Microsoft software. For example, they recently released a replacement for powershell and CMD, called "Terminal 1.0", which also comes with some aggressive telemetr

I 100% agree with not doing April fools. Humor is important; jokes work with twisted semantics and surprise. April Fool's websites have neither and just render the web useless for a day.

I didn't know where to bring this up. At this point it just feels like remote code execution. I filed an issue on PowerShell's github page. Please support me, maybe I can make my voice heard. I am tired of stuff like this. Notific

The idea of a type / class / object here is equivalent in that they provide locality of interpretation. There is one place that may contain the code that manipulates these values; in other words, there is one place that contains y

Many people are pointing out that short identifier names are ok, and that i is perfectly fine as an identifier name. It likely is, and I believe the rule to be true that short identifier names are ok for short scope / context. Howeve

I agree with @scarface74 and would go even further in that I would probably create a custom type for List<AccountId> to convey the purpose of what that thing is now. And as for the "type shyness": > Creating a new datatyp

I found this technique to work quite well, but this idea does not mean imply that one should simply "quit writing comments", but rather that comments can most often be replaced with actual structures that improve the code (e.g., e

Could you elaborate what criteria you apply to decide whether something is "as humanly readable as possible"? I am asking out of genuine interest, I am researching readability and I am interested in how you make decisions and what

I fully agree with you. Altough I really like requests, this is a violation of one of the PEP 20 heuristics: Errors should never pass silently. Unless explicitly silenced. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020&#

Good advice! I have an older version, in which the implementations are explained in Pascal. I understand that newer issues cover java. I'd believe the book goes well with his coursera course: https://www.coursera.org/le
