A quote from the LinkedIn blog post linked in the article:

“But before we get too far let me clarify something that is a bit confusing. Every programmer is familiar with another definition of logging—the unstructured error messages or trace info an application might write out to a local file using syslog or log4j. For clarity I will call this "application logging". The application log is a degenerative form of the log concept I am describing”
Most of the US tech space is still booming right now, from big tech to the dozens of large cloud companies that have been reporting between good and stellar quarterly results.

I figure that someone will inevitably come up with a viable mainstream alternative to Google Search. One that is privacy oriented, and isn’t riddled with SEO spam. One that might function very differently than the search engines we’ve known for the past 25 years. I wonder what form that might take
So just to be clear, any project that improves accessibility can never be shut down for any reason under any circumstances? That's a pretty hard stance to take.

You made an implicit assumptions that TV subtitles and Youtube community contributed subtitles are used by the same proportion of people. That's almost certainly wrong. And remember, Youtube auto generated subtitles still exist for all videos.

I think it would be better if people allowed a Patreon "any amount you choose", which gets you...nothing. Just allows me to contribute however much I want, in exchange for the already freely available content. The advantage of it being Patreon is that the per-charge expense is spread among several creators who I am a patron of. I rarely take advantage of any of the "special content" for Patreon supporters, anyway, I'm just doing it to support people I like. Some of them, it's $1 a month, some it's $3 a month, and I don't want or expect anything from it except what they are already providing for free anyway.
I agree with this wholeheartedly. You can even define a standard and let downstream services opt in over time. Simple wins like this should not be put off because "someday" we're going to implement a complex distributed tracing solution.

>Either that's not a full story, or Russia has some _interesting_ banking system.

No, we have it in the states as well, see: https://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/01/business/as-pay-cards-rep.... Basically what happens is that you don't get a paycheck or deposit to your account. Instead, you get your pay deposited to a debit card, which you can then use to withdraw money or transfer to your own account. Since the account is technically controlled by the company and not you, it's easier for them to seize your money. It probably doesn't help that russia has high corruption and low consumer protection.
Yes, and? My point wasn’t about cultural production, it was about the availability of enormous amounts of excellent curated content. People will make art of various forms without remuneration, even without audience, for the love of creation. Greater rewards will lead to more. But there really is enough great work in antiquity to spend a lifetime on.
That sounds snarky. Not sure if that was intended or not, but regardless I read your comment as:

"OOP is good when you use the object oriented structure as a tool to organize your code and data to solve a problem, but not when you try to wrap your solution or your conception of the problem itself around OOP."

It's 2020, and after 50+ years of programming language research I think it's safe to say that there is no "one language to rule them all" or "one programming paradigm to rule them all." Different approaches seem to excel in different areas.

OOP seems to excel when the problem involves modeling systems with discrete parts and/or where there is a lot of state to manage. In other words I'd consider OOP for a "state-rich" problem domain. I am not saying this can only be done with OOP, just that it's a viable choice. There are multiple approaches to most problems.

I'd also say that bad code tends to develop different forms of badness under different paradigms. Bad OOP code is massively over-engineered, verbose, and slow. Bad procedural code is spaghetti. Bad functional code is impenetrable "write-only code" that can only be understood by its author (maybe). Bad code in multi-paradigm languages tends to have all these forms of badness.
This doesn't speak to what I consider some of the most dangerous parts of OOP, which include the assumptions that tightly binding data and code is helpful, and that statefulness is fine to freely sprinkle throughout your program.

From my skimming of the Twitter account linked, it’s something related to hydrochloroquine. I can’t speak to the effectiveness or lack thereof of this compound for treatment of anything, but I have seen a lot of sites crack down on anything pro-HCQ, which may be justified if it is a vector for coordinated behavior otherwise forbidden by TOS.

We weren't discussing the uniqueness of low-quality content or clickbait, nor were we even discussing politics. We are discussing the introduction of changes which will largely benefit News Corp who owns 70% of newspaper circulation, Rupert Murdoch isn't even Australian. It boggles my mind an American media mogul (with clear historically proven cases of political bias) cannot only have plenty of influence in the USA, but also here in Australia.https://www.bloggerzune.com/2020/06/Off-page-seo.html?m=1
Paul Fussell once reviewed a book titled Boswell's Clap. Fussell wondered how medical science, which could not diagnose and treat a fungal rash he had, with him there to examine, could accurately diagnose the medical conditions of persons dead for centuries.

But I guess that Leonardo is too tempting to be left alone: Freud had his own shot at diagnosing him.
It's interesting to watch how the American big tech companies tread much more lightly with their deplatforming and results manipulation with respect to EU entities. They know the forum isn't a favorable one. This is easily seen by doing Google searches for prominent US/Canada based and EU based extremist organizations and reviewing the results.

Sorry, but it is accurate with many engineers I know. Most have pretty fat 401Ks by mid to late 30's. 401K millionaires are not uncommon.

Also, many west coast folks or those in high cost of living areas can clear the accredited investor rule based on income alone. ($200K income for 2 years in a row.)
Agreed. The biggest problem with OOPS lies in its original premise: that code and data should be the same thing!

This is grevious error, IMHO, that leads to nothing but problems: endless boilerplate code, lots of "interfaces" that essentially do nothing (that couldn't be done directly with said data), and debugging nightmares.

I much prefer to work with systems where code and data are separate and never the twain shall meet.
Good! Working as intended.

Who is “security” here? In my experience, if you ask most working security professionals, they would agree that social engineering is by far their largest vulnerability.

Yes and I hope they do. It's a bad law. If you have your news open and accessible on the internet without users having to authorize themselves then it's public information at that point.

Block it by a paywall. But they wouldn't do that because they would stop showing up in search engines. Google is providing a free service by directing traffic to these companies.

> A competitor who would be equally obliged to pay rent for the news. That’s a pretty big regulatory hurdle for a startup to cross.

Maybe, but Google's interest is in maintaining its search monopoly, not creating opportunities for its destruction in fits of pique.

I'm also skeptical about how much of a hurdle this would actually be, since businesses typically have to pay suppliers (e.g. by licensing content). These rules probably only seems like a big thing because SV tech businesses have been weirdly allowed to opt out of paying in situations like this for a long time. It's not like the necessity of paying royalties prevented Netflix from taking off.
There is no 'case' to be made against any paradigm. Different hats for different jobs.

The author is right about ORMs. They are ridiculously over engineered solutions. (My experience is largely with Django and SQLAlchemy ORMs)

As soon as you want to do something that's not already perfectly built in, everything becomes a mess of impenetrable hacks. Autogenerated Django migrations are unstable and often need to be edited to to be correct or make any damn sense.

It also encourages to people to blur or just straight up stomp on the line between ORM objects - tightly coupled to your database - and business-logic objects (entities, usecases, whatever). It's the Django recommended approach, called "fat models" and it leads to ridiculous levels of coupling and impenetrable ball-of-mud code.

Just write SQL and marshal it into business objects. I'm actually quite fond of doing this with the SQLAlchemy Table & Query APIs, they do most of the marshaling for you.

In Go I just write the raw SQL.

More generally regarding OOP: I have never seen any good come from more than one layer of inheritance.
DailyMotion is the biggest one I can think of.

I wonder how much of Best Buy's success can be attributed to using 'emotional intelligence' to 'build relationships' with gullible people and sell $1,000+ HDMI cables to them. Does it happen a lot? Probably not. But selling one of those a week will likely pay for at least one salesperson's wage for that week.

I haven't shopped for myself at a Best Buy and years (and the last time I did, it was for CD/DVDs). And the salespeople trying to 'build relationships' with me are just awful. But that's likely because I'm a misanthrope.

I know what I'm getting into when I go to Best Buy. I'm going to go help a friend buy an overpriced laptop because they want my help since I'm an 'IT guy' and they want to shop at Best Buy for some reason.

What I am concerned about is the systemic effort to silence dissenting views. It is entirely possible that the dissenting views are incorrect. This civilization used to pride itself on informed debate, so here is a shout out to the dispossesed children of the Enlightenment: freedom of information and debate is central to our way of life. It must be preserved and it can not under any circumstances become subject to the dictates of the few.
Article doesn't even make an argument. If you're not modelling things with objects, and you're not using inheritance, in what sense are you doing OOP at all?

If you want to treat OOP as a tool to use when it's appropriate to the problem, good - but as you gain experience you'll find that that actually just means "never".
Pine needles are great for scrubbing pots and pans if camping. But we don't do that. It might be green and practical but it doesn't happen.

I don't dislike my job. I get to solve interesting problems, work with great people, and our particular niche within the broader software industry has more redeeming qualities than most.

I just don't feel particularly attached to it. If I was RIFed tomorrow, I'd be anxious about finding a new job, but wouldn't feel any great sense of loss.

FWIW, my career started in 1999, so I barely got my feet wet before the dot-bomb implosion (followed my 9/11, acquisition by a PE group, then 2008, then ownership change to another PE group, etc). It's blatantly obvious that C-level, BOD, etc only have the interests of their employees in mind while that happens to align with their own self-interest. I'm just a cog in the machine. I'm ok with that - I'm a well paid cog and it lets me do things like travel the world, buy expensive toys, and live on a golf course.

Yeah, I hate the loss of time, but haven't found a good alternative. I don't want my hobbies to become work - I think I'd just end up hating them.
No? I was defrauded by wire and reported it immediately to the bank and law enforcement but “they couldn’t do anything”.

IMHO if a programming philosophy leaves so much room for interpretation and misunderstanding, rants and counter-rants, needs evangelizing to the "dumb masses" what it "actually" means, and all of that hasn't been settled after more than half a century, then it has turned from a philosophy into a religion (or rather, a cult).

Just let it rest and move on. It's just a waste of time for everyone involved.

I believe it was Pompeo who recently said that. It's about right for some of the things going on lately.

Any software from China or Russia falls into that category for me. Some other places would too if it was more common to see mainstream software from them.

I agree with you on the web browsers. Hardly anyone uses an open source browser though. Most of them have open source components mixed with closed source blobs to the point where you don't really know what it's doing. Chrome is a good example where they go as far as to scan your machine for malware, but it's not the only one.

I just went to Best Buy last week. Shelves were empty, customer service was atrocious and they basically just sold phones, phone accessories, high end TVs, and computers.

I went looking for four things - a wireless microphone set like public speakers use, a mixer, a 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch adapter and a 1/8 inch to Bluetooth adapter.

Three of those four we sold at Radio Shack when I worked there in the early 90s. The fourth is something we would have sold. All of course at a crazy markup.

I walked out and ordered everything from Amazon.

You no longer enjoy that person’s music so much that you would rather listen to it than do anything else. It seems unlikely that all of your interests are so specific. If you have some more general tastes there will be lists of good stuff you should check out in those genres. If you love these 12 songs more than acting else but have listened to them so much that all joy has drained from them have you listened to songs others with taste recommend for those who love these songs?

Artistic taste is far from infinitely malleable but it’s flexible enough for many to appreciate metal, opera, pop and classical music. If your tastes are so narrow and specific you are in a tiny minority.

[edit] To clarify, I'm referring to Apple crippling ads that drive net new app installs, not the ability to monetize your app via ads.

The privacy angle is completely justified, but I think Apple is underestimating the second order effects here. Significantly fewer apps will be installed, harming both the developer ecosystem and Apple's App Store profits.

First real forays into FE that didn't involve slicing PSDs to tables were in Bootstrap and Foundation in ~2013. The responsive grid those frameworks delivered seemed magical at the time, but you got the sense that the benefits came on the back of some serious CSS wizardry and framework overhead.
