there are various ways to structure dictionaries. one was to essentially create an array with each entry pointing into a list of values. you hash the key, then add the key/value to the list in that slot. the hash attacks would ensure e

there's nothing wrong with corporations tracking use of their hardware. they have to watch for data exfiltration and attempts to download malware, etc. don't use a corporate device for anything you don't want work to see. use

Yeah, object orientation isn't just a language feature, it's a pattern for structuring interaction with data. And as for object orientation being less useful in immutable languages, I see it used plenty. Erlang and haskell both de

That's fair. After you know more than a few languages, it's easy to know what you want to express in it and the limitations it has, while the particular name they happened to give those concepts is pretty arbitrary and quickly pee

I think it's mostly a fad issue. Normal loops and if statements are just as possible to hit with a static analyzer. But the very fact that they look easy makes a certain kind of programmer see them as beneath them. They want the comple
