The content of what you discuss is true there are juniors that argue for it based off of ideology. But the origins of the hate against OOP is not a cultural misunderstanding. I hate OOP and I'm pretty good at both FP and OOP.

Well hate is too strong of a word. I don't hate OOP, but i definitely think it's a mistaken paradigm.

I think there's actually an opposite phenomenon going on side by side with the one you discussed.

Too many senior programmers are really great experts at OOP while never really examining the faults or mastering alternative paradigms. The time invested into OOP leads to a huge bias in favor of it. When OOP is evidently (to me) too be worse than procedural programming and FP people are unwilling to give up years of time invested into OOP. When experts decry OOP of course someone with 10 years of experience in JAVA is going to object. That's the way people work.

The bias comes from both directions. If you think OOP is pretty good and everyone else is biased... ask yourself are you a master at OOP and FP or just OOP? If you're great at both paradigms and the time invested into both paradigms are equal... than you have the ability to make an unbiased choice. Until then most people on this thread are java guys promoting the skill they've been honing for years.

A master carver isn't going to decry his years of training just because a 3D printer can beat him at his game. Humans don't work that way. This is mostly what's going on.
I feel sorry for the guy who registered foo@bar.com
I am really glad that I do not have one of these email accounts. While I cannot speak firsthand of some of the shenanigans that are mentioned in the article, I have worked in the web hosting industry for 20 years. I have seen some of the horrible security practices in use by customers and, surprisingly, people in the industry.

I've seen many people locked out of their hosting accounts because they have their primary account email address as one of the hosted email addresses on their accounts, and suddenly they've lost access to their web hosting control panel because their domain expired or their email was otherwise taken offline.

I think what all of this boils down to is that people don't receive any actual training about how these things work. They pick up a phone and start using it and figure it out along the way, or they buy a computer and set it up the way Microsoft says and never think twice about anything else. The amount of training that people receive is dismal at best and most the time it's not even that.

There's also a contingent of the public that doesn't want any training and their main argument is "well this is how I've always done it!"
I don’t have an “OG” account but a common first, last and middle initial and I get about 1-2 new signups for stuff every week.

It’s amazing how many services will not confirm email addresses and just send sensitive info (and make it hard to unsub).

Many years ago I had a CEO who made us keep one of those “retype your password to confirm” that I thought was stupid, but we did it. I think of how right he was every time some Uber driver signs up with my email.
Are you saying these acts were encouraged by police unions and widely supported by police and their families nationwide and that it was widely reported about, known about and continued to take place?

When it was widely reported in the press, the public were disgusted and the government took action.

I’m not saying that the UK police are perfect, or the UK is better than the US. Just that this kind of systematic, widespread behaviour that many/most people find unacceptable would be stopped.
The low quality of the discussion I would guess..
I mean that's fine, but master chefs are not often in the position where lives might depend on handover, review, and debugging of their work by someone who is not as much of a domain expert (and some OOPs like C++ have such kitchen sink domains that it's relatively easy for two experts to be of unmatched skill and be utterly incapable of reviewing each other's work).
Basically like when you call something like:

Math.abs(-5)

That's a library call.

A framework is like django or rails. You have to structure your code to fit within django's paradigm, while a library is just utilities you can use in your own code...
Overtime Pay for California's Computer Industry (2000)
Strictly speaking, nothing says a reducer even _has_ to have a switch statement. A reducer can use _any_ conditional logic it wants inside: `if`, `for`, `while`, lookup tables, etc.

It's just that the most obvious conditional construct for "checking multiple possible values of a single field" is a `switch` statement [0].

Having said that, we now officially teach our new Redux Toolkit package as the default way to write Redux code [1], and its `createSlice` API [2] does actually use a lookup table approach instead.

On a related note: my next task is rewriting that existing Redux "Basics/Advanced" tutorial to modernize it, and I'm currently taking notes on what I do and don't like about it [3]. If you've got any relevant feedback on things you don't like or ways to improve that tutorial sequence, please feel free to comment and let me know!

We already have a known source of methane emissions that is ever increasing: cattle. Cows and swine account for several metric tons of emissions every year, factory farming accounting for most of it. Reducing this is in most people's control.
If you were to for example plug each end into a computer hoping to transfer files between them, both would try to act as the USB host.
> it's just common practice to do so

- key point is that is that it's common practice, and the situation you're in is debugging data emitted by someone else.
As a biologist, I would advise against underestimating what microorganisms are capable of.
> while the Democrat allied media is almost exclusively anti Trump and anti Republican.

This is not correct. Pundit shows thrive on conflict (arguments), so even FoxNews will bring in anti-Trump pundits while CNN definitely brings in pro-Trump ones. The news parts of the networks in contrast put up a fairly neutral front, they aren't pundit shows at all, and if FoxNews news anchors are expressing anti-Trump sentiments outside of pundit shows, they are simply doing it wrong.

People mostly view the cable news networks these days for their pundit shows, but don't confuse them.
I'd be interested in a relevant paper, thanks.
Just for context, widespread overtime fraud in the Massachusetts state police, BPD, etc., has been common knowledge for years. Most of the individuals named stole well over $100k and an entire state police troop was disbanded, although the vast majority have not been prosecuted.

I think that if accepting the truth of what actually happened is viewed by you as being "bludgeon[ed] into accepting blame for the actions of others" is a problem with how you personalize the actions of others in the past that you view as part of your identity group as opposed to an attempt to blame you personally.

If I quote John A Macdonald saying ".. refusing food until the Indians are on the verge of starvation to reduce the expense" and then quote Mackenzie's response that he's not starving them enough - how is that offensive to you personally? It seems like it could only hurt you if you believe that you are on the "team" of the governments of that day - why would you think that? Let's all be on the team of justice and fairness and not take personal offense at the ignorance of the leaders of the past (or the present for that matter)!
Due to a bug, for a few months I received email addressed to google@gmail.com. This was years ago, when Gmail was still newish.

I couldn't send mail from that address, but I sure did receive it. An endless torrent of weird junk, and a surprising amount of personal data, business secrets, and passwords. If I was maliciously minded I could have done a lot of damage.

I spent those months trying to find any way to get a message into Google to fix it, and only eventually succeeded when I learned a friend-of-a-friend actually worked there, and they helped un-scramble my account.

I've got one of these. I've been invited to golf tournaments, received medical records, been included in family reunions for many years running. I've had power bills sent my way. I've seen tons of SS#'s and bank account routing numbers. Countless password reset attempts. A long time ago I decided I'd never interact, reply or respond to any mail I received apart from opening.

Tangentially related -- catch-all email accounts also get a ton of mail when the domain name they're tied to is close to something that many people send messages to. If you own a domain one keystroke away from a high volume domain - you'll get access to all sorts of things you shouldn't be seeing.
I have lived in south China (extreme high rise and skyscrapers), a global city in Europe (mid rise) and south America (a sprawling mid rise city with lots of cars). I'd say the south Asia felt much more human scale due to easy access to parks, untouched hills and nature in general.

South American sprawl was the worst in terms of easy access to 'nature'.

So I guess it depends what you consider human scale.
That's still not the same thing, though. If, among the 1% of African Americans pulled over, 10% have drugs, while among the 0.5% of White Americans pulled over 20% have drugs, it doesn't actually say much about the overall rates of drug ownership. Maybe police are really bad at figuring out which African Americans are carrying drugs, and the overall rate in that population is 10% - while the police manage to pull over everyone else carrying drugs, leading to a population rate of 0.1%. (Or you can flip this around too)

The point is that you're measuring after a selection effect, and measurements after a selection effect are worthless. Imagine comparing income between racial groups, but only surveying people buying sports cars - it's just not useful.

Sorry, I think I made things less clear by accidentally typing "former" instead of "latter". Anyway, my specific claim is that "systemic" is overloaded and abstract and there are bad faith actors exacerbating the problem, and it is driving a lot of confusion and low quality discourse. It's important to address because having a productive, honest, accountable public debate is paramount to democracy, social progress, and the welfare of over 300 million Americans and those who are affected by America. Anyway, this conversation is already sufficiently off-topic; hopefully it's clear enough where I stand even if you don't agree. In whatever case, it's time I duck out.

> Against a backdrop of climate change, disease, the economy, and so on. To share a perspective that many on the right have, this seems like a problem but one that gets far more attention than it deserves because it elicits strong emotions, riles up voters, etc.

That's really the problem with the right. Constantly downplaying issues like police reform so they can focus on climate change... wait, what?
The later is not OOP those are Design Patterns, sometimes used in OOP, often Java, that can sometimes be overwhelming and cumbersome.
But your counterpoints (drugs & junk food) are trivially disproven: for a lot of people, those are truly "worth it". Why, I still remember an argument I had here on HN, years ago, where I said real homemade burgers were way better than McDonald's, and had more than one people reply to me with "nah, sometimes I really want a McDonald's burger, I really enjoy them".

As for prostitution, you have to admit such a long tradition of existing -- the "oldest profession", as the saying goes -- is strong evidence that it's indeed worth it to a lot of people.

I'm not making a moral argument, by the way. Only your own personal convictions, or your religion's, can tell you that.
The org must be accountable for its actions (or inactions). It's the org's responsibility to make sure its agents don't mess up when acting under its authority. Hire employees who are trustworthy and competent, fire those who aren't, and provide training and oversight to ensure compliance. That's a reasonable minimum bar.

Separately, if a person breaks a law, they should be punished for that.

And remember, judgements incorporate circumstances and intentions when determining punishments. So a small non-profit that was trying its best but was still hacked by a nation-state would probably get a lighter punishment, just as accidental manslaughter usually receives a lighter sentence than pre-meditated murder.

I have one of these accounts (it's a dictionary word), and I can confirm everything the author has said is true. I receive constant onboarding emails I can't opt out of, "so and so thinks you're cute" dating profile notifications, weekly account recovery notifications, all kinds of random crap that was meant for someone else but due to slight misspellings come to me, such as important contracts from lawyers, endless spam and newsletters I will never be able to escape. I've long given up trying to help others deal with mistakenly using my email. It sucks massively and has made my email unusable. Had I known this when I registered my email, I probably would have thought twice about being cute and registering it. These days, I mostly use my own domain for email and carry on.

Some perspective.

114 unarmed Americans were killed by police in 2019. [1]

While any number other than zero is unacceptable, that is also 0.000035% of the US population, or a one in 2.8 million chance. If you are African-American, that goes up to a one in 1.5 million chance – also unacceptable, while at the same time a vanishingly rare occurrence.

You are 328 times – that's 32,800% – more likely to die of suicide than to be killed by police. You are 733 times more likely to die of diabetes than you are to be killed by police.

Police reform in the US is absolutely needed. But suicide prevention and healthy eating are objectively much greater problems that need solving, and are at very least worth as much of "a talk" with developing children.

Surely you want gaps with spongier material between slabs of rock to thwart sound waves, rather than thicker rock.
I find it naive that people directly jump to policy design phase and start suggesting fixes. This framing implies that current policies are a result of not having thought any better at the time of enactment and simply fixing these codes will fix everything else. It is not like there is a shortage of policy experts and academics on these topics. They have had better ideas than any of us can slap together on a hacker forum.

I want to suggest another framing; some of the problems current policies give way might as well be features and not a bugs. It certainly has the desired consequences for certain stakeholders. The emotional reactions and lack thereof the public has based on the general impression police casts might as well be "working as intended". Without figuring out that link, designing the best policy solution will still achieve nothing.
I'm sure, civilized world can demand answers from Kim Jong Un about working camps in his country, or Xi Jinping about concentration camps for Uighurs with the same probability of success.

Dictators don't care what people outside their dictatorship think and do, unless it possesses direct threat to their power. Russia has nukes and seems do not care about sanctions (I mean, starving people without access to medications is not a reason to care for Putin), so Merkel would unlikely receive any explanation from Putin, he's to busy posing on a horse with a naked torso for Western magazines.
All the art teacher and professionals I interacted with encouraged experimentation but also stressed to not skip the fundamentals.

The problem is that especially beginners are quick to jump to saying it is their "style" when being critiqued even tough what they were doing wasn't intentional or isn't perceived as intentional.

E.g it is easy to play an instrument off-beat, and every now and then it will sound really good by accident. But playing off-beat intentionally, consistently in a appealing fashion in different contexts takes a ton of practice.

But there is also the other extreme. The founder of FZD, a concept art school in Singapore mentioned in one of his videos that he is worried that a lot of young students are way too focused on learning fundamentals and doing tedious muscle memory drills found on Youtube instead of drawing just for fun for hours and hours, experimenting, making mistakes and correcting them.

So I think it is about finding a balance between honing your technique and knowledge and applying your current skill level in different creative ways, that will eventually result in your own style and the development of your style over time.

As a Common Lisp head, I love generic functions / multiple dispatch and would take them even over classes and inheritance as a language feature, but it's definitely cheating when the expression problem is framed in terms of static type systems where your code is guaranteed not to fall over at runtime with a 'no applicable method' error'.

(...although I could have gotten a lot of useful work done with my dirty dynamic types and shameful runtime errors in all the years people searched for a solution to the expression problem...)

OK, so there are some positive feedback loops for global warming. As temperature rises, that causes other effects that in turn warms the climate even more.

But I can't see any fundamental reason that such side effects should add to the warming. It seems just as likely that they would counteract it. It's not like there is any plan behind it. In Physics, whatever happens happens.

So... I wonder if there is also a set of counteracting global warming side effects that don't get reported much, since that isn't scary? Or is there some fundamental reinforcement mechanism here that I'm not seeing?

Unfortunately it becomes near-impossible to say no to nonfree software such as zoom, skype, discord, slack, gmail, etc. You will often end up with no job and perhaps even no friends or no communication whatsoever by declining to use the world's most popular centralized communication platforms.

Until there is a way to dampen the extreme and long-lasting power of network effects for communication platforms, little will change with respect to this, as no one is truly willing to accept the consequences of declining to use the software that the rest of the world expects them to use.

I contacted Amazon about it the first time and they wouldn't cancel it or issue a refund because I was the recipient, not the purchaser. I worry that someone has been written out of their Dad's will because he thinks they have forgotten father's day 3 years running.
