> expect a pardon from the president.

Biden is on record saying this is right off the table. He will not pardon Trump.
For sure :). I understand that. I was gently teasing and pointing out that the language you used obscured (as there were no trebuchets, de orbiting asteroids, etc, involved) rather than clarifies.

“Shooting a gun”, or “shooting guns or beanbag rounds, etc”, or whatever is specific and relevant to the topic clarifies thought and improves our thought. The opposite approach occluded and damages our thought.

And since language is how we discuss politics, we need clear language in order to truthfully and honestly discuss politics.

:-)

To quote Orwell from Politics and the English Language:

https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwel...

“ Modern English, especially written English, is full of bad habits which spread by imitation and which can be avoided if one is willing to take the necessary trouble. If one gets rid of these habits one can think more clearly, and to think clearly is a necessary first step toward political regeneration: so that the fight against bad English is not frivolous and is not the exclusive concern of professional writers.”

“ Operators, or verbal false limbs. These save the trouble of picking out appropriate verbs and nouns, and at the same time pad each sentence with extra syllables which give it an appearance of symmetry. Characteristic phrases are: render inoperative, militate against, prove unacceptable, make contact with, be subject to, give rise to, give grounds for, have the effect of, play a leading part (role) in, make itself felt, take effect, exhibit a tendency to, serve the purpose of, etc. etc. The keynote is the elimination of simple verbs. Instead of being a single word, such as break, stop, spoil, mend, kill, a verb becomes a phrase, made up of a noun or adjective tacked on to some general-purposes verb such as prove, serve, form, play, render. In addition, the passive voice is wherever possible used in preference to the active, and noun constructions are used instead of gerunds (by examination of instead of by examining).”

Have been listening obsessively to this a few weeks ago, absolutely lovely (especially if you know modern french and can marvel at the pronunciation differences).

For anyone else curious about that part of it, an interesting little video [0] shows the evolution of French and its ancestors' phonetics from (reconstructed) Proto Indo-european to modern French.

It's fascinating to see especially how French spelling almost stopped evolving somewhere around Old French, while pronunciation changed dramatically.

People like and use useful abstractions, and OO offers them: encapsulation, modularity, polymorphism, inheritance. (If you don't like inheritance, don't use it.)

People hate bloat, complicated ways of doing simple things, and AbstractFactoryAdapterFactoryAdapterFactories. These abominations got built in Java, an OO language.

Toss out all the religion and all you have are a few useful programming ideas. I was around when a popular "software development tool" of the day was a template. (No, not what you are thinking. I mean, a piece of plastic with shapes cut out of it.) You could use to draw flowcharts. Then, "structured programming" came along, basically the OO of its day. Structured programming meant no GOTOs. Instead, use the things that GOTOs usually implement: while loops, if/then, if/then/else. Keep functions to no more than "a page" (i.e., entirely visible on an old 24x80 screen).

Structured programming was uncontroversial. People recognized progress and adapted it. This happened when there were very, very few independent software companies, and there was a miniscule market of software developers. I can see though, how it could have gone wrong if there were companies intent on exploiting structured programming by turning it into a complicated fad requiring salesmen, consultants, trainers, and all the other profit-making paraphenalia.
I don't know about OP, but where I am the cost of the average vaginal delivery is ~$8k and the average c-section is ~$12k on top of that, so ~$20k. C-sections account for ~30% of the births where I am. Complications with the birth will add to the cost.

The devil is in the details though. I don't know if Medicaid is factored into these averages and I don't know what the median cost is. Individual insurance will vary wildly, and the specifics of every delivery also vary wildly.

You could be paying $0 or $100,000, it's a total crap-shoot.
Abstract data types in the sense of CLU / Liskov give you modularity and encapsulation without being object-oriented.
I deplore this list as antithetical to good business. Nobody who's had to reform a loss making human organization (think Motorola and SPC, IBM in 1990s, Xerox late 80s, Iacocca and Chrysler, or Dr Schutz of the book Human Element) used or condoned most of what appears here.

Stay healthy.

I have a family of four that is thankfully healthy. Things still happen. E.g. kidney stones, an unexpected mass somewhere that needs to be biopsied and turns out benign, falls and scrapes, etc. All need engagement with the medical care system and all are fraught with unexpected expenses. The $7k (out-of-pocket for me) ER visit was billed at $27k to the insurance.

> It's simultaneously too expensive to not have insurance AND too expensive to go to the doctor.

Because healthcare is too expensive for Americans. Adding insurance doesn’t make the healthcare stop being expensive, it just helps distribute the costs more evenly across the population. Like universal taxpayer funded healthcare would.

In order to bring healthcare costs down, the supply of healthcare and number of sellers of healthcare in the market would need to increase.
> You get one set of data. Bundling data with functions is way better than global data.

I'm not sure what language you are talking about where you have "one set of data", maybe BASIC?

There are almost no modern languages save perhaps Javascript that rely on global data extensively. (and even modern Javascript has moved away from use of global variables).

Biden's promising to pardon all non-violent drug crimes, is he not? Though not historical, if it were to happen that could mark a turning point for our country.

Though one could also use that same pardon power to avoid prosecution for domestic terrorists that support your agenda or crimes of election fraud. So I'm definitely on the side of revoking one person's power to override the entire judiciary for arbitrary reasons.

Ah yes, lots of subtlety and nuance involved in the creation of an illicit program which was end-run around an explicit Congressional prohibition against helping the Nicaraguan contras. There was so much subtlety and messiness they even had to destroy tons of documents about their activities so no one else would be exposed to all that messy complexity!
Seeing that the potential presidential candidate whose platform was mostly centred around healthcare did not advance to a full candidature implies that either the survey was not representative or the fear is outweighed by other political worries.
I disagree.

I think this type corruption is inevitable when you have legal system where the police are responsible for arbitrarily enforcing the law on an arbitrary subset of offenders.

If you remove or universally enforce the law, the grey area for this type of corruption will go away.
This is often called "Java Disease".

Java offers only one mechanism that gets abused for everything. Contrast with C++ (or Common Lisp, Haskell, Python) that support numerous abstractions, so that the best may be chosen.

So, people don't really hate OOP. They hate people who learned to program on Java, and still think that way.

I think it's corruption too, but I have to roll my eyes at "If this happened in the UK..."

The police, and city councils, in the UK have tacitly permitted, for decades, systematic child rape as seen in the Rotterham grooming scandal [1] and numerous others throughout the country. How can you suggest that cops wouldn't look the other way for minor infractions when there are countless examples of them ignoring obscene and severe crimes of the worst sort against the most vulnerable?

I don't want this to come off as a "my country is better than yours" but at the same time, I don't think using the UK police as an example of anything to aspire to is a good idea.

Does ACA have actual out-of-pocket maximums? My insurance has an advertised $0 out-of-pocket maximum, with an asterisk saying that this does not include co-pays or out-of-network care. It lists no out-of-pocket maximum for out-of-network care.

I've already experienced one case where I got stuck with a bill for an out-of-network physician at an in-network facility, so I have no confidence that there is any actual limit to what I could end up paying in a year.

Every claim I've ever submitted that was over $20k was denied the first time. One claim (smaller than $20k) ended up in collections while I was still negotiating with the insurance company!

Some of this is pre ACA, some of it post. I have no doubt that the ACA made things much better[1], but I've seen nothing to make me think there aren't still people at the insurance companies whose only job it is to make it as hard as possible for anyone to force the company to pay large claims.

1: a friend with a chronic health condition would be bankrupt if she were ever unemployed for longer than the COBRA limit prior ACA. Post ACA she was able to start her own business on private insurance.
More information is always good. In any case, this information is out there since it's common in Asian and South Asian communities to be pretty open about pay - though usually not with people outside the community to respect the local culture.

Usually, the value of the information is high when everyone knows everyone is equivalent.

> Agreed that structural typing is nice, but it's not restricted in any way to OOP.

Totally agree, but what I'm arguing is that a lot of the pain points people associate with OOP are actually more about the pain points of a nominally-typed system, and when you use OOP with a structurally-type language a lot of those pain points go away.
Its not a requirement that you use the default Wormole rendezvous or transit server. Its all open source you could run your own private servers if you wanted to (and its easy).

Of course the nice thing about Magic Wormhole is that its security does not depend on server components to be trustworthy. Use the default servers, use your own, use a different third party server, it doesn't matter, your data is still secure.

Edit: If you are worried about privacy magic-wormhole supports transit over tor.

Is your employer underpaying you? How do you know?
I would argue that it’s very rarely useful to mutate like this at all, and this is one of my grievances with OOP in practice. In particular, I don’t need to mutate via methods—this kind of encapsulation is rarely useful; it’s not like one day I’m going to be able to swizzle the implementation for a network-backed implementation without introducing a breaking change (and a whole host of performance problems when iterating over a collection of objects).

I understand, it's not just the needy. Easy credit also facilitates more corruption and inflation.

Not if no one is buying at that higher price.

The difference is now the same item (car) is being sold at two different prices depending on whether or not you can (or are willing to) pay up front. This is substantive difference.

Once the court has ruled, if those officials continue to engage in that activity, they can be held in contempt and imprisoned indefinitely until they stop engaging in that activity.

Does the fire department

Apparently there are unincorporated areas that do not have fire service from the county but you can buy fire service from the nearest city's fire department. If you do not have fire service the firemen come and watch that the fire does not spread from your property to the neighbours who have service.

This ends up just as you would expect. The poorest and most indigent go without, and then there's death threats, newspaper coverage, the works. You wonder why people are permitted to make themselves wards of the state because if your house burns down your biggest savings vehicle is gone and you are homeless and a burden on the public pocket.

Similarities with medical coverage are incidental.

I've got some news for the author of this article. University cost inflation started well before 1993. The chart here (https://www.edvisors.com/plan-for-college/saving-for-college...) shows that the divergence in university cost inflation and the greater economy's inflation started in the early 1980s. I know that my university education went up 4x in the 5 years (yes, 400% in 5 years, which equates to 32% CAGR) that I attended college, and that predates this 1993 date in the article.

Sure the system is corrupt, but selective enforcement is how corruption happens. Remove the mechanism and there stops being anything to be corrupt over.

Your outrage reminds me of the "bribery scandal" of the 2002 Winter Olympics. Somebody "exposed" an extensive system of bribes made to officials who would vote on the host city for the Olympics. Every night more allegations of the scandal were reported with proper shock and outrage.

It was a bit of a head scratcher for me. I remember, for example, when it was uncovered that one official had been gifted a very expensive custom-made shotgun. The news anchor was very solemn in reporting this outrageous misdeed. Rewind 9 or 11 months earlier and the exact same anchor was cheerfully reporting a public ceremony in which a visiting Olympic dignitary was presented with a gift from the organizing committee formed to win the bid. It was a happy day filled with optimism and hope for what might soon be. Lots of flash bulbs. That publicly-presented token of good will was the custom-made shotgun.

> OOP encapsulates data by default

That ideas's been nagging at me lately. In his paper, The Early History of Smalltalk, Alan Kay wrote, "doing encapsulation right is a commitment not just to abstraction of state, but to eliminate state oriented metaphors from programming."

Basically all code I've ever seen in OOP languages is incredibly stateful. And it makes a lot of reuse difficult, because that stateful behavior makes it difficult to confidently compose things from smaller pieces. That stateful behavior means that the class's internals aren't truly encapsulated. You still need to understand those details about how its state changes to interact with it successfully, even if you can't observe the state directly.
