That is a wall of text that I admit I could not fully read or understand. It seems to argue that OOP is bad but what I gathered from it is that it argues that complexity is bad and that we should make things simple. The problem is that comp

Sure, there are many ways that my simple (not easy) comparison is short changing current London but if you want to live there now and make the average wage then it may not matter to you so much that air quality is better or that streets are

To me the biggest difference between the "old" internet and current web is the advertising. It is not just the adds that are so much more prevalent, the web sites are designed to be visually appealing and that detracts from any co

I think "defundthepolice" slogan has caused too much harm from the start by polarizing people and it will be used to cause more harm going forward being used by bad actors to justify their actions. It should be changed to somethin

They all spy on all of us all the time, Apple is no different. Apple probably has more data on their users than any other company out there. So far there are no known instances of Apple selling this information, most likely because they bel

Zero indexing of arrays only makes sense in C because array variable is a pointer to first element of the array. In all languages that have actual array type with length and bounds checking, 1 would be a better way to index arrays most of t

What is it with people pushing the c style "->" everywhere. Dot works just fine, is just one char, no shift key required and it is still unambiguous. Stop this "->" nonsense. Even in c it shouldn't be required
