I can agree with a lot of what you wrote, and especially outcome vs. the original OOP promises. They meant one thing, and it turned out that thing is actually an anti pattern (inheriting implementations and state, not merely inheriting inte

Your straw men fall easily. But your "snipe" doesn't even apply. I spent the two years of my masters program editing a NASA-owned LISP codebase. it wasn't huge. Maybe 100kloc. But I'm definitely not ignorant or LISP

Well, maybe. But that is a different debate. I do not see where this topic was raised, except by you right here.

You are reading in to what I wrote something I did not say. I said that "OOP has become the foundation," not "OOP is the foundation." There is a very big, historical, fact-based distinction between those two statements.

I don't think OOP has failed at all. It has become the foundation of all reusable code in every language. What failed was the idea that internal state can be managed and shared with derived classes. The key to OOP is extracting the ide

Every conversation in this thread where someone implies what is "enough" "passion" or "accomplishment" makes me agree more with unionizing the industry. It's as though the absence of religion in modern lif

I guess with a sample size of 1, I would also be tempted to make sweeping generalizations on an entire industry if the sole same was my own experience.

I think you're missing the author's point about the mower laws. It was specifically in the context of lost livelihood, not that people are offended at mower laws. The same applies for the vehicle manufacturing mandate 13 years awa

It must be frustrating for you to be so sure of what your opponents think and feel, yet never able to understand what made them vote for the Orange Man. You are the reason the Orange Man was foisted upon the US. We are going to get more of

I have zero problems with how Australia plans to meet its transportation needs. I do not live there. In the US, I also do not care much about whether cars are EV or not (my only actual hangup about EV as a technology is the raw material sou

I am not certain the point of this, tbh. I am discussing the mentality of the opposition in the US and the reasons they cite where the EV solution does not work for them. If your government is committed to making it work by 2035, that'

Right, so because your state and country is ahead in this area, everyone else is "a hut in Siberia?" My comment specifically mentioned a 2030 or 2035 mandate, which is a US mandate. Why would you argue against a US mandate by talk

I think the important thing is lost. Average is useless for determining if a grid (and it is not THE grid, since localities have bottlenecks) can support a load in time. Maybe it can, but the on statistic given as evidence is an average, wh

I'm not sure if you're trying to tell a joke or not. The amount of effort you took to explain the post says you aren't joking, but choosing the average as the number you base your case on says you are.

It is in fact not merely necessary because the OS will overcommit. Even without overcommit, you hit the same problem, except you have no way to decide how to handle it---the application requesting the allocation suffers. I guess my entire p

I can't disagree with this reply. You've changed the subject, which very much was about definitions of specific words, as held by groups of people.
