In my experience, the mess created using OOP is harder to untangle than the mess created using a functional approach. With the latter, it's simpler to replace a different function for any part of the logic, and the data is always just

I think that's what the word "appreciate" is hinting at in the phrase: "most engineers..don't appreciate the importance of optics." Optics is subjective and often superficial, a performative illusion for the sa

I like it. I've read about the original concept by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, a French Jesuit priest. This seems to give it a more sci-fi twist, including simulated universes and bringing back the dead. > According to [Frank Tipler
