That fact that you have to go through so many references to define the word object exactly proves my point. You can just read this wiki ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_programming Modularity is the very fabri

I think you are finally getting it. Modules ~ Components. Where you and I differ is you think Component = Object. I think the difference is sufficient enough to warrant a complete divorce from the word object. Linux kernel uses components,

That's probably it, the CFO. I've mostly been sold on Jeremy Corbyn's ideas on worker cooperatives. I like open source based economies, they seem to encourage innovation and are fairly similar. The concept of hedge fund is co

You are right. This thinking is finance thinking as opposed to product thinking. It seems corporations are acting as hedge funds once they hit this stage of quasi monopoly / oligopoly. In reality it's just squashing the competitio

That makes sense. But why diversity needlessly ? Isn't google's core search suffering ? Red Bull / Coke don't diversify but they are not exactly ecosystems either.

Can anyone tell me why large corps do this ? Compete with every new product or buy companies instead of sticking to the core product. I like Slack and all but if Slack started implementing Google Docs I would be surprised.

I don't think any package manager does that. That would definitely be useful. Compile and ship binaries down to libc and use binaries on any GNU / Linux System. I don't see why as long as you output an ELF file an App can&#x2

That's true. Well to stretch the metaphor ;) some shops in the bazaars become boutiques to differentiate from other competitors. Boutiques price their uniqueness and that's certainly true of things like vim which is certainly an o

Is it a disadvantage of the bazaar model ? In a cathedral so to speak old things are valued. In a bazaar things are sold based on trends. I see this a lot with open source software, where things are not made with the mindset of making thing

From a quick read, Vulkan doesn't use inheritance. Its using the C module approach. Even the Web DOM doesn't use inheritance. It seem in the real world no one uses imaginary objects and everyone uses structs.

It is interesting how the buddhist conception of not-self goes against this. People often confuse Indian philosophy with Hinduism. That's usually not the case. The western equivalents would be Neo-Platonism and Stoicism, which have lit

I found OpenGL easy enough as compared to DirectX which is an abomination. Another problem with OOP, it breaks ABI because of name mangling. Had people just stuck to modular programming without inheritance this would have been a non-issue.

Reasons start ~ 30 min mark. Linux backward compatibility really sucks. I still don't understand why fedora binaries can't run that easily on debian.

That's exactly why modules are better than classes because they don't have inheritance. It allows for simpler solutions. No debates about taxonomies. OpengGL is faster. Procedural code is always faster. Global variables are infini

You missed the first point I made. C++ / Java break encapsulation by using methods and pretend they are encapsulated. Julia implements polymorphism without OOP. Modules are better than classes anyways. The whole Java ecosystem tried so

by foobar_ 6y ago
Every time you call a method you are breaking encapsulation because you can no longer change the name of the method, it is exposing the internals. Thats why Message Passing has more guarantees with encapsulation. Abstraction is overdone. S

It already has a trillion dollars, it doesn't have to worry about trivial bullshit like cost-cutting. Wall street types don't really understand product building ... the math is more like, if you increase water in cola, you can i

Fundamentally D.N.S is a naming system but each site has a separate naming system via user names. Something like this should also be applicable for social networks as well. I found this for twitter - https://blocktogether.org&#x2

Well that is clever. Well lets see if it works ... I created this user overlookedscrum with a weak enough password, but you don't know it so you can't reset it. This is the cookie ~ key: user value: overlookedscrum&DtTI0rbgf7Y

I wonder where tcl falls on that list. It's sorta like everything is a command / list of commands and a command is a list of strings ?

I wonder if there can be a public version of this by sharing passwords openly but in a twisted way. 1. Create an account. 2. To know the password, you visit a service that gives you the password. 3. The service changes the password immediat

A packet of seeds is 5$. I think what is needed is exact monitoring of emissions and policy to replenish it. I'm still not sure how efficient carbon capture technology is in terms of number of trees. If we go by the most common sci-fi

Programming is a non linear writing system. Now that I think of it ... if you replace functions names with logograms you get a top to down writing system of sorts.

Do you see authors writing in a committee ? Do you not see solo musicians ? Do we not celebrate individual strategists in the case of war or business ? The same applies to engineers, inventors, programmers and in some cases business people.

Can you stop people from doing this ? From what I am aware even MIT license still needs to be credited somewhere in the new project.

This could easily be a nice compiler project. The like operator is quite interesting along with generic functions.
