Actually not at all!
However, I recently listened an audio book about the Continuation War between Finland and Russia (part of WW2), which might have had an impact.
Just last night I had a dream where I was fighting a Russian invasion from my childhood home. Ran out of ammo for my assault rifle and ran to my old room to get the machine gun. Somehow got stuck talking about it with other people and never got back to shooting the invaders. Just weird shit like that.
The Soviets also made scientific breakthroughs within their military industrial complex. Not much of that trickled down to ordinary people, which then hindered it from being further applied.
The silver lining of concentration camps is the human experimentation which gave solid evidence for solid science.
How much of “solid science” are we talking about? My understanding is that it was not a lot, and its quality was rather poor.
I imagine that we would be more scientifically advanced
I highly doubt this. The fascist regimes are not really welcoming for open science having scientists with freedom of thought. The science would be more like in the Soviet Union, where science education was great, but the advances were reduced to “government approved” tracks like space, weapons and maybe some medicine. Hard to see something like computational revolution stemming from a repressed regime.
Well, bad code is bad code regardless of the paradigm. I’ve just had bad experiences rewriting some horrible OOP codebases and opted out to use as much functional style as C# allowed me to.
The main problem, as I see it, is that OOP encourages unnecessary abstractions and inheritance. These should be used as little as possible, because they typically increase complexity and make code harder to read and untangle. As an example, I’ve seen people define interfaces that don’t essentially define anything.
Another problem is that OOP encourages mutable member variables. It’s very annoying to try to understand code where class C inherits from class B that inherits from class C. Good luck debugging when the methods of C modify a variable declared in A in subtle ways.
As an idea OOP is very appealing. When I was younger, I would be thrilled to start designing a class hierarchy and interfaces when encountering a new programming challenge. Now I just try to think how to make things as simple and modular as possible.
Edit: of course bad functional code is also bad code. It’s also very annoying to try to understand code where functions pass badly named functions around as parameters and use 10 function compositions in a sequence.
You did the right thing. OOP was invented by people who were worried about their job security, to obstruct others from understanding their code.
I typically listen to these after taking my morning LSD, and do get some psychoactive effects. Strangely the effects are completely different if I take amphetamines or light up the afternoon crack pipe before listening.
Seriously tho, I just started to listen to this for the first time ever, and it does work as a pretty effective and non-intrusive noise blocker. Easy to ignore.
Edit: never mind the second point, the surroundings just got quieter at the same time I started to listen.
Just remember to mark all the things you’d like to make better but can’t be arsed to at the moment with numerous TODOs.
Hi colleague! So I found a comment in the code from 3 years ago by you saying you should “improve this”. Is it planned for the next sprint?
I don’t think fusion would be as useful a technology as it would have been a few decades ago. Now renewables (wind, solar, hydro) seem like more and more as the clean and cheap energy of the future. The biggest problem of storage is rapidly being solved with batteries springing up everywhere.
The real problem with fusion is that even if it worked, the plants would be very complex and expensive. It would be much cheaper and reliable to build solar, wind and batteries instead.
Having operational fusion reactors would be cool as hell, but it wouldn’t have that much impact on our lives in the end.
The youngsters are downvoting you, but what you’re saying is sad but true. It’s the reason Bernie never ran as an independent, he knew it would hand the victory to republicans on a silver platter.
Do I understand this correctly, that the first astronaut’s realization is that all data structures are graphs?
If yes, that doesn’t make much sense. How is an array a graph?
That freedom becomes misery on the instant you have to start maintain the code from some other free spirit, whose style is totally different from yours.
Well… In that case the downvotes are deserved to be fair.
This is very true. You even got a down vote for saying it.
I want to hear the quotes and questions! And no, you can’t copyright any of that.
I honestly found it funny in a kind of a cute way, but I guess others didn’t feel that way. Oh well, such is life sometimes.
Not to be a dick or anything, but I found it funny that you chose to mention the political career and your opinion of him. Nice touch, but very much irrelevant. Keep up the good work!
If you say so. However, feel free to be one of those people who discover later in life how their quality of life drastically went up with a bit of jogging or going to the gym. “If I had figured this out younger, I would have …” and so on.
