> It is 12 years old - these were just before the first versions that had any kind of serious OO capability

PHP5 is the release where most of the OO improvements happened (but even PHP 4.3 had a bunch) and PHP 5.0 was released 3+ years before this code snippet leaked.

I wrote a heavily OO based version of Yahoo! Address Book using PHP 5.1 in 2005-2006, so it was definitely doable and fairly common to do so by that time.
You're missing the point... it's not possible to tell in advance whether someone should be arrested or not, you have to follow a standard procedure for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that doing so safeguards everyone's rights.

In the case of traffic violations, the decision to not arrest by default is made far in advance as a matter of policy. When someone at a traffic stop gets arrested, it's not for the traffic violation, it's for another crime they're wanted for, and the standard process for that overrides the traffic stop process.
Yes, the filtering systems of the brain are amazing, and the Invisible Gorilla experiment is particularly fun!

Another striking experiment I learned of in neuroscience courses shows how deep it goes. A particular setup of electrodes can show how a sound stimulus is processed by successive nodes in the auditory processing areas of the brain. When hooked up to a cat near a metronome, for example, the traces from different electrodes tracking different auditory processing nodes, will spike in sequence, like an earthquake wave passing various seismic stations at different locations on the ground.

The wild thing is that when a mouse is now brought into view of the cat, the cat's attention becomes so focused that the metronome traces disappear -- the cat's brain filters them out at such a low level that the cat doesn't just ignore the metronome, it literally no longer processes the sound at a low level -- as far as the cat's brain is concerned, the experimenter might as well have turned off the metronome.

I wasn't certain what you meant by swagger in this context.

Dictionary.com tells us: 1870–75; < Italian < Sicilian: orig., elegance, bravura, courage

So swagger would seem to be an appropriate translation.

According to "The Great Influenza" by John Barry young people died due to cytokine storms. Essentially young people have a vigorous immune system that gave an aggressive attack. 1918 flu was unique in that the deaths was not just the very young and the very old (a U shaped distribution) but rather a W shaped distribution with the middle point being 20-40 age group

Also in the book - the "spanish" flu was called that since Spain was the only place with a free press at the time (e.g., US press was not free at the time) + massing of young men in US in camps - like Ft Devens. Flu traveled from overcrowded camp to camp and then jumped to local populations along rail lines (and then overseas as troops were shipped out)
He describes it well, though would make a great visual as it moves from Boston to Chicago to NYC back into Providence/Brockton (which are just south of Boston). Transmission along rail (and shipping) lines.
I'm not lacking internal monologue, but this resonated with me.

Often I can feel that I have a complex idea more or less nailed down, but it's an effort to stop and put things into words, even internally.

Other times though even an internal monologue isn't enough to tease out the edge cases or weigh the tradeoffs, and I need to write stream-of-consciousness style.

Different styles of problems lend themselves to different approaches, I think
> People conflate these rights with human rights

No, they are human rights, or, at least, they are in their framers view an articulation of a subset of such rights essential to call out in a particular context.

> but they are in place to prevent the government from unduly interfering with your inalienable rights of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"

No, they are essential components of Liberty in the context of the existence of government.

> which the Declaration of Independence says have been given to all humans by their creator, and which governments are created to protect.

Governments, more often than not, are not created for the purpose or protecting the particular vision of natural rights held in mind by the authors of the Declaration of Independence (in fact I would go so far as to say that since visions of natural rights are at least as varied as the people that believe in natural rights as a valid concept, and that even those individuals have their concepts shift over time, the only government that might ever have been formed for that purpose would be one formed at the exact time of the DoI by the same people.)

Like bars in music? Like I can put on the metronome to, say, tic-toc-toc-toc (different sound on 1 vs 2/3/4) and will intuitively know when I've hit 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 bars. I just feel it. I might be able to use this method for counting, just hearing clicks, and count to 16 bars or something, while doing whatever else, even though I am like Feynman in not being able to talk out loud while counting.
I've never seen this movie, nor am I a movie buff of any sort, but this was the experience I had watching Mr Hollands Opus.

You own the problems of other people and if you don't fix it now it's only going to get worse. And you have to really fix it, not just give it lip service.

Get a security clearance, and you find out the REALLY bad stuff that goes on, like everything is a front for the police and a lot more people die horribly than you would believe. It's a fierce competition up top. The highest stakes imaginable. Death everywhere. Stay alive by any means. People you thought were friends turn brutal overnight, and I fault no one for abstaining.

Next Steps for pkg.go.dev
It is not "seeing" in the same way as visualising things. The way I would visualise assembling a flat-pack wardrobe or something feels totally different to this.

It is hard to explain. The best I can think of is sensing (without visualising) a shape or pattern. You cant actively "see" it in your mind (e.g. if I imagine an apple I can actively see an apple in my mind) - this is more fleeting and defies any focused thought.
How about we establish a right to live then and sue the government when people die of old age, for infringing upon their rights? Makes as much sense.
> If people put in as much effort to understand quaternions as has been expended in this article, then quaternions would probably be just as easy to grasp and the system being described.

You can do anything you do with our numbers with roman numerals. You could argue that our base-10 system is as arbitrary as roman numerals, or that knowing how to do arithmetic in one system will allow you to do arithmetic in the other one. But that does not mean that learning arithmetic with roman numerals has the same difficulty as with base-10 numbers, and the only reason we find it more difficult is because we do not put enough effort.

I have introduced a few grad students to quaternions and GA. We eventually use quaternions most of the time, but they do not understand quaternions until they see GA (the same as someone may need some base-10 theory before completely understanding roman numerals arithmetic).
Foisted is indeed a better choice there, whatever I thought I meant. Thanks! I thought about editing, but I’ll leave it so as not to disturb your comment.
> the multiplication rules followed from the desire to define the square root of a negative number

That's a bit reductionist. You don't just get the square root of a negative number, you get the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra (an Nth degree polynomial has N roots), which is a mathematical power tool if ever there was one.

Complex numbers dramatically simplify a bunch of proofs in linear algebra, give us tons of nifty integration techniques in complex analysis (the techniques are relevant for real numbers, they just use C), provide a representation of 2D rotations that can be manipulated using the rules of algebra (this is the most relevant to the thread), and give physicists, electrical engineers, and signal processing people an abstraction to represent oscillations (energy sloshing between two buckets = two elements of a complex number, which you can then do algebra with). They're a workhorse.

Quaternions are an attempt to do that in 3D. The dot and cross product of vector calculus are other pieces of those efforts. Unfortunately, vector calculus escaped the "math lab" before it was complete and got written into other fields and engineering books, so even though the underlying concepts were eventually sorted out (it's called Geometric Algebra), everybody just uses the half-baked abstractions (quaternions, dot product, cross product) which are Good Enough. It's a perfect example of "worse is better" affecting something other than software engineering.

Besides the other commenter pointing out that Tokyo has low car ownership rates, so if that's your ideal model then you too are essentially on the same side as getting rid of most of the cars, there's a telling fact in your suggestion to remove people from the urban streetscape entirely by removing them to elevated walkways. Cities are for people. Why are cars so important that they should take over everything? Why ban people from the streets instead of banning the cars? I don't want to have to take stairways and bridges everywhere, and then have huge numbers of vehicles whizzing by constantly at ground level emitting lots of pollution (yes, even EVs emit brake and tire dust). That sounds like a dystopian nightmare city, not a pleasant city.

And I don't know what to tell you, but I've been to Tokyo, and it's nothing like what you're describing. You sure you went to the right place? The most busy pedestrian crossing in the world, the Shibuya scramble, is in Tokyo, and it's an at-grade intersection. You know why it's safe? Because pedestrians are prioritized over vehicles, and the longest part of the light cycle stops all the car traffic entirely and lets people walk everywhere. And also, the Japanese are simply more communally-minded than Americans. Simply put, their drivers are better-behaved. They generally won't park in marked bike lanes (same as in Amsterdam) because of the social stigma of doing so. Meanwhile, in the US, drivers don't give a shit, and so we need a solution that isn't social stigma -- building more physical protection and removing cars entirely from many spaces, since people can't and won't operate them safely.

And the discussion of "fault" is entirely missing the point. It doesn't matter who's at fault in any given fatal crash. What matters is that we have 40k deaths per year in the United States caused by vehicles, more than almost any other cause, and we need to fix it. The fault if anything is a systems problem; we have way too many cars, not enough alternatives to them, and the built city environment prioritizes cars too much and doesn't do enough to separate vulnerable people who aren't in cars from them entirely.
I think the odds of having that sort of autonomy in a corporate job are lower than being a successful “lifestyle” business owner. It’s exceptionally rare to find it in the corporate world, where stability, process, and politics are the primary focus of work to deliver the company’s product/service.

DuskStar explained well why the Shuttle was not cost effective in terms of payload per launch cost. I want to mention that there was a tiny minority of missions where this isn't a fair comparison: where they were returning satellites from orbit to Earth. In those cases, the shuttle was not just deadweight that needed to pay for itself through reusability; it was a necessary part of returning the satellite.

This ability was used a grand total of just four times.

https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/15094/what-satelli...

It was not remotely worth making the rest of the launch system more expensive by an order of magnitude. Better to pay for a new satellite when they break, or (in the case of returning scientific samples) to design a sample-return function into the satellite.
You cannot have a null exception in haskell.

Yes, I'm aware of that 1/0 returns an exception.

I'm saying that it makes sense to use nulls because 1/0 is an undefined operation. Therefore to represent the output of 1/0 with a null makes sense. So the existence of nulls makes sense. That is not haskell code I'm typing up there. "1/0 = undefined" is not code.

If you read my reply you will see that my statement isn't referring to an exception caused by 1/0. It's actually referring to a null exception which is completely different.

I am explicitly saying that the "null" in haskell is part of a sum type (the maybe monad) and in that case the "null" or nothing will be handled with no run time errors. You cannot have a null exception in haskell.

Never did I say Haskell has no runtime errors, and 1/0 is not an exception caused by a null. Please analyze and reread my statement.
This use doesn't have anything to do with sugar chemically, except for the shape of the custom molecules.

It sounds like this is a similar idea to a mis-folded protein, where the shape of the molecules is what is deadly to viruses.

It almost doesn't matter what the molecules are made of, as long as they have the shape to disrupt viruses. Sugar was probably chosen because it's non toxic to humans in most cases, and because it could form the needed shape.
Also moving from law to programming, I changed the effect of randomness on my success.

In law, I could kick ass, and still lose a case, because of many things that are likely to be depressing to list in public.

In programming, if I kick ass, it deterministicaly leads to something that works! That is good. Sure there is politics and popularity and all those normal human problems too, but those same problems existed in law, so I'm not losing anything there.

Side note: when presenting a simple revenue-expense-profit-loss chart, it can help to chart the expenses as cutting from the bottom of the revenue (tough though, when you are funding the expenses externally, in this case you have to put the loss below the zero line).
Anyway, it makes it clear when your expenses intersect your revenue, and you switch to profit rather than loss.

The problem arises, however, that everything becomes about re-election, rather than, say, policing.

I noticed graphics on smartphones are pretty damn great (I don't play mobile games) these days.

It is nice to see OSINT receive more tooling, but I shudder at the 'most complete' hyperbole. For starters, this appears to be almost exclusively centered on web domain OSINT. But what about reverse image searches? Government records searches? Video analysis? All of these domains appear to not be represented at all, to name just a few. Even in the domain of web analysis the tool is missing critical queries such as historic whois and leaked database lookups.

Absolute malarkey. All academic research should use and produce free software. This used to be the case; that it isn't now is terribly stupid, especially now that distribution costs have gone from "little" to "nothing." It doesn't "cost" anything to throw a tarball on the internet.

Any charity that goes out of its way to produce proprietary software doesn't deserve anyone's money to begin with; they're wasting funds.

The product of government-funded academic research is already primarily going to private, for-profit journals, being effectively stolen away from the taxpayer. Proposing that we should make it easier for academic research to completely ignore the common good is ridiculous.
