Could you tell us what kind of experience you have? There are many ways of learning OOP and they vary greatly in how approachable they are depending on your previous experience.

If you come from a procedural programming in a low-level language like C, for example, there is an excellent book "Object Oriented C", which teaches you OO concepts by implementing them in C.

If you do GUI programming in a procedural language (again, mostly C) you could download Pharo and go through "Pharo by Example".

These are just examples - there are much more languages/books combos out there.

Yes that's the point I was trying to make. Licenses and support are an ongoing cost and from what I keep hearing oracle has increased them significantly in recent years.

It is more than just parts though. To get past the more demanding EM compatibility/immunity certs you have to design the whole product with that in mind, at which point it stops being off-the shelf or inexpensive.

That's just how the world is, you know. Back in prehistoric times, you didn't just happen to find a free shack and live in it - you needed to build it and maintain it. Right now, landlords take care of that for you - for a price.

It's still very relevant in the job market. Probably upwards of 50% of jobs are going to want you to know OOP, and many of those will cover it explicitly in technical interviews.
Upvoted you. You make a good point.
Summary:

-time spent on digital only grew 2% last year (in the US). This is the new normal. If advertising is your revenue model, you aren't in a growing market any more.

- ten of the top twenty mobile apps are owned by Google, Facebook or Apple. This is also a new normal.

- millenials are also drawn to different, non-mainstream apps. Snapchat, for instance. It is here where entrepreneurs have an opportunity to shake things up.
It's the classic problem of regulatory capture applied to a privatized industry: the entities that are most engaged with the regulator (the regulator, in this case, being a site like eBay or Airbnb) are most likely professionals. Because their voices are louder and more coordinated, they are more likely to be listened to than a relatively low volume of one-off complaints from end users.

In general, look and see who is making the money off of a service. They are the ones who will be listened to -- not because of any evil on the part of the company, but simply because they have a greater incentive to scream louder and coordinate.

One VR – Low-cost, DIY, end-to-end 360/VR video solution concept
How about comparing it to the war on drugs over the last 100 years? is the war on privacy taking a similar path?

Starts out using racism by claiming we need to restrict privacy (drugs) to prevent muslims (hispanics) from terrorizing us. Next it's associated with sexual deviants (reefer madness), and anyone who opposes it must be one of them. Then people start to realize that privacy isn't just an ideal, but it's a physical feeling of freedom - a feeling that they have never felt before, the freedom to be the captain of your life (damn hippies!) - people have tasted freedom and they want more of it. To fight against it, governments spends trillions of dollars hunting out anyone who provides privacy services (drug smuggling).

Eventually there is reform,etc etc... so, it took like a century for cannabis.. 20 years for privacy?
If you’re going to learn OOP, you need a larger project to go along with it so that you can understand ASAP that it only makes you write more code, over-complicate problems, and makes your applications hard to understand, and debug. It’s going to save you from spiralling into the typical “OOP is fine, i’m just not doing it right, i should’ve designed that differently” loop that most college graduates go through during their first professional years.
It's fairly common to define malloc and free wrappers called xmalloc and xfree. The usual idiomatic thing to do is to have xmalloc check the return value of malloc and terminate the program if it ever fails, though this is traditionally done in application code rather than a library. I doubt libc would ever add an xmalloc function because it'd break all the code that defined its own xmalloc.
> In the case that we are unable to find a reasonable alternative flight(s) or other means of transportation, due to a disproportionate price difference between the potential alternative transportation and the original price for the unused flights, we may agree with you on our proportional contribution to the costs associated with a mutually agreed upon alternative transportation.

This doesn't sound like a 100% guarantee. Most of the times on the day tickets will be a lot more expensive than advance purchases.
> ... But "why" is still a good question, and it remains unanswered

Mr. Clayton Christensen says its because adults like to invest their effort in stuff that gives them the most immediate sense of achievement - and that turns out to be their careers; spending your time with the kids (or doing other thing that might make more sense) doesn't give you this kick, often its a long term investment that gets neglected.

He says so in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHdS_4GsKmg (answering a question asked at 1:15:08).

i keep quoting this guy quite a lot recently...
I wonder could we do the same with humans.
They say they get the video feed. I can imagine why they want it (training?) but having somebody potentially watching what's in front of your car all the time is much worse than having them know where you are. I won't buy that product. However I think that if this really works it will sell well.

Not sure if your comment meant to be provocative, or if you just did not think through the ethical considerations of your statement. In fact, I am not sure how well protected octupus as a species are, since they lack a spine.
On the Origin of the Series: Syncfusion’s Succinctly E-books
I've got a different answer.

People are "busy" because they fill every waking hour with something to do. If they ever find themselves without something to do, they make something up or change something so it provides some perceived benefit and takes more time.

For example, I dated a girl who said she had no free time, despite only working 1 job part time and basically never going out. I eventually found out it was because she'd do things like walk go to the grocery store for fresh food every single day. And then complain that she didn't have enough time to spend with her son.

I'm not blaming her. It's her choice, and there's nothing wrong with it.

But that incident made me look at my own life and I realized that any time I could possibly be bored, I'd find something do to. For me, it was usually something fun in the name of de-stressing. If I ever managed to get bored with everything I had, I'd pick up a new hobby. I now have far, far too many hobbies to actually do much of any one of them, and I switch between them as I get bored.

As I look around, I see others doing this as well. The idea of simply sitting and getting bored is basically impossible. At the worst, there's always cable TV or Netflix or something, and shows you just have to watch.

It's quite fascinating once you can look in on it from the outside.
I think it might be useful to cycle in new sold/unsold sets of logos to give the effect that sales are taking place and business is moving ahead. otherwise, it looks like no business is being done. also, maybe instead of "sold" something like "to be sold" might work to give the impression that it isn't off limits yet.
The very latest survey, released by Pew on August 26th, ups that to 44% of all households, see http://www.people-press.org/2016/08/26/opinions-on-gun-polic... for the executive summary and up in the right hand corner the full release with that number http://www.people-press.org/files/2016/08/08-26-16-Gun-polic... Survey size was a bit over 2,000, so if they got a good sample, which is getting harder and harder, it ought to be a solid number (most national political surveys are half that size, 1,000 is considered to be a minimum for any degree of accuracy).

That percentage goes up and down depending on people's willingness to admit that to a nosy surveyer; RKBA activists attribute this recent increase to the huge numbers of first time owners who haven't yet decided on a policy of discretion. Me, I wonder how many of us longer term owners have adopted a FU attitude in the presidential campaign with the starkest choice ever presented to us, excepting perhaps G. H. W. Bush vs. Dukakis, but Bush the father was much closer to total prohibitionist Dukakis, and in fact we're still living with his import bans....

You are of course right that a list of suspected gun owners could be generated in a whole bunch of ways, although I note that when it comes to online ammo dealers I've never seen a group of vendors who are faster in discarding their records of past sales.

It's hilarious I think. It's sort of the same end result, but the means to get there are a bit different.

The hypothesis that (human) intelligence could very well be rooted in prosocial behavior seems interesting. Too bad they turned the control group into fur coats or they could have seen if the tame foxes are more intelligent than the non-tame ones c.p.

The Evolution of Technology in Sport
Yeah it's a tough question, and due to the complex nature of the technical and political systems involved, it's probably impossible to simplify/distill the situation down so that ordinary people can have any sort of informed opinion. Right now, people say "give us privacy" because it's a smart thing to say - but they don't understand what they're fighting for so I fear they'll be quick to give up at the first sign of resistance.

There might not be a single person in the world who understands all the moving parts well enough to say what's right.
If you're looking for Java style OOP specifically, this would be a good place to start: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/
well :)

The sun and moon appear the same size in Earth's sky because the sun's diameter is about 400 times greater – but the sun is also about 400 times farther away.

So what are the chances of having a satellite that is 400 times smaller than the sun and also being positioned at exactly 1/400 of the distance to the sun , to be able to give us this beautiful ring during solar eclipse?

and yeah guys.. keep down-voting...
Probably not many. Refactoring support in IDEs for static languages is a huge time saver. Reference management and simplicity of compiling are other benefits. Also IntelliJ has a vim mode.
The point I'm making is that when people have tried to develop a UI framework in a single language from scratch and offer the same functionality as the web, they fail. Performance sucks, or its not flexible enough to deliver certain functionality.

By XAML I guess I mean WPF or whatever it is called. The bet was that Silverlight would be installed in every browser and you could build more powerful apps. I remember reading a post about how Evernote rewrote their WPF app because performance was never good enough.

GWT tried to make a nicer API for building UIs. The API was nice, but I guess the whole transpilation caused issues with debugging etc.

HTML, JS, CSS is evolving in such unpredictable ways, each time getting better and better. It just has such a large community using it and experimenting with it all the time - I don't think anyone can compete with the hive mind of web devs.

I've always thought about building a company / website as watching a child being born / grow up.

Idea conception = conception

Development = while in the womb

First push to production = birth

Everything after that is watching the child (website) grow, evolve, learn to do new things, become mature, become successful (or not). Hiring employees = making new friends. First word, teeth, graduation, etc... these are website milestones. Career change is when a company pivots. Marriage is being sold to another company and death is of course, closing the doors.
Not only ineffective, but often times actually dangerous.
If you don't want to wait for Crystal to mature there's a long line of high-level languages with similar performance characteristics - check out OCaml or Haskell, or perhaps F# or Scala (if it's throughput you need rather than fast startup).
> Is that common in elixir/erlang, for libraries to provide blocking utilities?

It's very common to have blocking API as that's convenient and better hides the implementation details of the API.

Note that the blocking is completely local, it'll simply yield back to the scheduler and some other process will get to run (and BEAM is preemptive so after a number of operations — reductions in BEAM parlance — it's going to deschedule the current process and let something else run even without IO calls).

And of course you can trivially "unblock" the call by creating a wrapper process for that call.
Bertrand Meyer Object Oriented Software Construction is excellent. It details the concepts of OOP and remains very independent of the programming language.

You have to, for example if the activity that you are deciding to do now will keep you busy past that hour.
But they can ask people to stop, and they can reply that they don't "allow" it when asked about it. Which is what they're doing.

This was a very obvious and straight-forward answer to the question he asked, and he calls them assholes for it and claims they don't care about the community.

They can protect their trademark without shitting on the community, and they're doing just that. This is really just a rant from a guy who got an answer opposite to the one he wanted, yet obviously expected this answer or he wouldn't have asked in the first place.

Cops are so trigger happy for a wide range of reasons, not knowing who has a gun is not one of them

The reasons include but not limited to (and in no particular order)

1. Poor Training in Gun Operations and Saftey

2. No Training in deescalation

3. No Accountability for murdering people

4. Decades of "War on X" public policy that makes the citizens the "enemy" of the police

5. Militarization of police. We have effectively turn the Modern Police force into a Paramilitary organization with less oversight and fewer rules of engagement
This feels like its solving the wrong problem, package-management is effectively a version-control problem.

We already have our source in version-control.... we just need a way of updating and maintaining a repository with external dependencies.

Do any such tools exist?
The Biggest Mistake Static Analysis Prevents
I don't like OOP very much myself, but it doesn't have to result in "more code" (depends on a language support for concepts), doesn't have to lead to "over-complicating problems" (depends on language support and design skills) and it doesn't necessarily make your application hard to understand and debug (depends on the language, tooling and domain).

As with every tool you need to know how and when to use it, but it can be quite effective if done right.
It doesn't quite work that way.
In all fairness, you can't build a shack or pitch a tent just anywhere and live off the land. (Though, in practice, there's a lot of empty space in Western US and unimproved land can be very cheap. On the other hand, I don't suppose the parent poster would seriously live in a shack with no utilities, transportation, food supply, etc.)
The Troubles with JavaScript Classes
> Take for instance item 4 in OP's list: cleaning. Well, I can assure you that if I don't clean my apartment, nobody is going to show up magically and do it for me.

Maybe it should be like this. Our bodies clean themselves.

I keep wondering, how's the research in self-maintaining and self-cleaning materials going. Surely, getting rid of the need to constantly clean your house will require a lot of small breakthroughs, but it is a worthy goal given the time we all collectively waste.

(Personally I view all maintenance as waste - you have to pay your dues and not skimp on it, but you should at the same time minimize the cost as much as possible.)
How can I install Ubuntu on an iPad?
It's like the stock phrase "we use your data in ways including ..." which, because it doesn't exclude other ways to use said data, makes the whole statement meaningless fluff.
I've had so much trouble with xcode automatically adding "xcode managed profile: *" a million times in the developer portal, even despite me having configured an app-id-specific profile (for custom provisioning profile settings such as push notification certificates), and then having it pick the wrong team and/or provisioning profile causing push messages to break, so I've stopped logging in to xcode completely. It's not so bad managing provisioning profiles in the dev portal when you get the hang of it. Unfortunately xcode removed most of the GUI for managing installed profiles, but the fastlane tools (including "sigh manage") help a bit.
My first thought as well...

That would be because "socialist" and "totalitarian" are orthogonal.

One describes the methods of organization of the state and its economy; the other describes the goals of the government of the state.
You can't see a problem with the release of such politically charged info? That some people, even if they follow their employer's rules about not possessing on the job, would lose their jobs if that information was released? Or how such information is being used to trash people's careers in our field?

Very few states, and only anti-gun ones like New York---in fact, the only one I know off the top of my head---make the lists public. And I think New York goes further with handgun possession permits, which few states require.

Although that was useful for me to personally count the total number of NYC possession licenses, less than 60K each for long and handguns. A real outlier for the US, heck, it was noted as the Soviet Union fell that they trusted the residents of the capitol of Soviet Georgia more prior to instigating a seizure of them, then again, I've read estimates that the real number is more like 2-3 million for the 8 million total in the city.
I guess most of the comments focussing on cutting down work.. but I get a serious mid life crisis - "what am I doing with my life" sinking feeling when I have time to spare. Being busy helps me avoid that..
Definitely. The appearance of smartwatches which are capable of understanding a command along the lines of "remind me to do $thing at $time/$place" has been excellent for improving my relaxation.
True, I believe some of the the Northern regions can be relatively temperate? It is easy to forget that Spain is such a big country sometimes, especially compared to the UK.
Which ones are those? I'm from an European country and one of the biggest sources of internal stress for me is just noticing how much of my life gets wasted by having to have a job.
Then the real answer is "People are "busy" because they don't want to be bored".

I believe your interpretation on the pardon "precedent" is correct - legally no precedent is really set. A presidential pardon is basically an act of mercy, not a legal opinion.

However, as a social precedent, it may give the next Snowden a more favorable outlook with the public, which in turn would make sympathy from lawmakers less risky.

Or maybe nothing at all. But you are right, legally probably wouldn't do much
