Twenty years ago I was also mostly a C++ dev and unless the code was 100% written by me I would never issue such statement, given the total lack of control what others in the team or binary 3rd party libraries are doing.

If that doesn’t work try lowering your body fat percentage. That’s also has a big impact on heat tolerance.

Your first statement is horribly wrong!
Sure. They don't seem to have any problems in the middle of winter, when windows stay fully closed for at least 3 months each year.

About a half also smokes, and then they "don't have enough air".

By the way, the office faces an arterial road, as they are called, with heavy traffic right outside. When you open a window, it fills very quickly with traffic fumes. This gives me persistent headaches almost every day.

One of the biggest fallacies I see spread on forums is the statement that the age of a language or a program is an indication of its failings and a need to be replaced. Typically spoken by amateurs and other hobbyists.

- alternative stores. Being able to use aptoid and f-droid let me use the full potential of the phone without tying it to an email account.

- productivity concepts arrive first on android. We had wifi hot spot. Quick wifi/bt/3G switch first. Etc. With apple, you only have what Apple though about, or could copy later. With Android, the community can implement many things.

- USB-C charger. I don't want yet another charger/adapter

- my phone will still work in 5 years. No "oh the home button is broken" scandal.

Most european countries have highly cultivated land and are industrialized through and through. It might go faster nowadays, but it took them hundreds of years to get there. Turning the middle of nowhere into arable land doesn't happen over night in any case.

This makes them able to efficiently provide for their population with the land they have available. India has some way to go in that respect.

This is not accounting for differences in geography or resources - like water - that are directly limited unless you want to build infrastructure for artificial water purification too.

> OO can be abused to produce bad designs, of course, but that's not an indictment of its syntax.

It is.

The strength of a language isn't just in what allows you to do, but also in what it limits you to do.

OO in the style of C++/C#/Java is extremely flexible in terms of code organization. This means that most codebases eventually grow towards a mess of different styles and inconsistent design patterns. One guy's abstraction is the next guy's unnecessary plumbing. Teams often have to manage consistency of style and structure through out-of-code agreements.

The advantage of paradigms like procedural or functional programming as well as trait based "OO", is that there is generally an obvious way to structure something. Two different programmers working on the same problem, are likely to produce similarly structured code. The result is that different programmers will adopt much easier to different codebases.
Each and every organization I've heard of that did that, reverted to give developers local admin pretty quickly because the requests to the IT administrators for every time a developer needed admin to install a required dependency, start whatever at admin to debug, change reg settings, test installations, ect.
No. NL bike culture is different from the one in the US.

Freakishly, everything I've read seems to suggest it works for them.
It would be great if one of these efforts gets us to something that actually works well as replacement for html/css; the ones that work (what you build is how it will look) feel like Flash (you lose SEO, copy/paste, accessibility etc) while the ones that try to fix that really do not work because you cannot really get the result you were aiming for design and feature wise. Webassembly did not fix (as far as I know) the SEO issue. This will all happen and for me, it cannot happen fast enough!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NRS_social_grade

The amazing thing about the classic Apple designs was the way they managed to be textbook Veblen goods while also appearing to be gender and class neutral. They were aspirationally expensive, but not blingy.

That changed when gold and pink started to creep into the design vocabulary and the prices started moving up. The classic designs were more democratic. Not everyone could afford them, but they managed the neat trick of appearing to be visually inclusive rather than aggressively exclusive.

From that POV, Watch has been a design failure. It lacks the social status of the high-end I-have-money watch brands. It's neither expensive-but-neutral nor an outrageously self-indulgent statement product. The expensive straps and stainless steel variants made a pitch for the latter, but it was never convincing.

As a signifier it's visually bland and even slightly vulgar, which is why it hasn't had the same cultural impact. It's also why it works for C1/C2s but not for the ABs. Sales may be fine, but in its current form it's never going to be the covert high status product that Apple used to do so well.

I am not sure about pensions, but we pay quite a lot for heating. We do it every month and all year long, actually, because money management is a problem for many, and if you shift all the payments to one season (which is 4-8 months, depending on the weather), each monthly payment would be a problem for many. So they stretch it out across the year.

I'm not sure I quite follow you, because if I believe what I think you believe, then I wouldn't call it "the problem of natural numbers", but I agree that C has no fault in it.

Precisely that which makes C so performant is also that which leads it to be "unsafe". It is thus up to the programmer to ensure safety in C, his manual managing of that is the price to pay for the performance gained using the language.

Fashion is surely a part of it.

But to me the rise of OOP in the 90es where driven by the need of programming user interfaces and the rise of Windows and similar. A graphical user interface is naturally represented as a hierarchy of objects each with their own internal state. Often the language was designed to work in an integrated development environment with a user interface builder (with language features such as object serialization and reflection).

This is very obvious in Borland Delphi (OO Pascal), Objective-C, VB, Smalltalk, C#.

Then things shifted and people started doing web development where all of sudden you had hundreds of concurrent users on a single server; and then people began (re)inventing languages that handled concurrency well.

Having said that. I don't think the dominating trend today is functional programming but rather "multiparadigm" (as it should be).
Pick a Business Model with Leverage
I think Jony Ive lifted an entire industry and perhaps a generation to “good design” (and brought a lot more attention to Dieter Rams[0][1][2]). That we’re here talking about it (for the 3rd(?) time on HN front page) is a testament to that. That said, I think humans got lost in the process, at least occasionally, but not just recently. I don’t recall which models, but sometime the MacBooks adopted really sharp edges on the bottom slab - I found it uncomfortable to sit at (did my piano teacher have input, as a final “keep your wrists up!” order?). Or the orientationally challenged hockey-puck mouse[3]... Compare with the (not problem-free, mind) Thinkpad, which may seem more designed and exciting when you see it’s got a singular inspiration that they seem to have honoured for years[4] (how brave is that, to not change?).

I wonder if Apple didn’t feel self-imposed pressure to keep asserting its design dominance, and therefore look for ways to change. We’re all just armchair quarterbacks here though. in the end I think Jony Ive did more good than harm.

I’ve had juniors who I did this “well, I’d be lazy and just use a library/script” routine on, and they essentially ignored me and went straight back to what they were doing. Either they were afraid of admitting they’d gotten it ‘wrong’ and were unwilling to abandon that method they’d personally thought of, or they genuinely didn’t even agree that they were struggling in the first place - in some weird way they must have ENJOYED struggling and thought it meant they were learning or solving something hard.
This is not a problem of city size but lack of planning for growth at the regional level.

At the time it had regular batteries you could replace by yourself and we were talking about latest versions. But anyway, I don't see how it can be relevant.
