I don't think any interpretation of OOP comes close to being a full solution to software architecture. That being said I'll just copy a previous comment that breaks down why I think 'OOP' get debated in a circle without any resolution:

"OOP" is really three different things that people conflate together.

1. Making data structures as tiny databases with an interface that simplifies storing and retrieving data correctly (no transformations in the class itself to other data types hopefully to minimize dependencies!)

2. The school taught java/old C++ debacle of inheritance. This is where things fall apart. Inheritance means not only dependencies but opaque dependencies. It almost always means pointer chasing and lots of allocations. It used to be necessary because it was the only way to get generic containers. The speed hit to use a chain of pointers was also much smaller. In modern times this destroys performance and is not needed due to templates.

3. Message passing - 'at a certain scale, everything becomes a network problem'. I think the flexibility in having this integrated into the core of a language like smalltalk is not a good trade off, but I do think message passing at a courser architectural level offers large benefits without limiting the speed of more granular and fundamental data structures and functions.

I think OOP will always be debated in a circle because people conflate these three aspects. The first I think is extremely useful and vital. The second I think is obsolete. The third I think should be treated as a higher level architecture approach with large chunks of data passed around to large non-trivial modules/libraries/nodes/plugins etc. The higher level can be more dynamic and flexible because the overhead for a flexible structure is much smaller if it is done with large chunks of data and not integrated into a language and used for vectors / hash maps / one line math functions, etc.
My understanding from skimming the article is, they only identified the suspect from fingerprints. After identification they did surveillance and gathered additional evidence.
I wouldn't be surprised if writing style could also be used. I tend to use certain constructions and vocabulary across many of my comments. Some are under a handle with little or no link to my real identity, and some are quite the opposite. I expect someone could deanonymize the former based on correlation of writing style with the latter.

With basic auth you give something more than that. You give the ACTUAL credentials, because they are base64 encoded and not hashed. It is trivial to decode them and have the raw values.

To assume that a user trusts the subdomain because she trusts the domain, is something I find insane.

> MEDICAL EDUCATION PRIZE ... Bolsonaro, Johnson, Modi, Trump, Putin, et al. for using the Covid-19 viral pandemic to teach the world that politicians can have a more immediate effect on life and death than scientists and doctors can.

We shouldn't consider this result news nor funny. The pattern has been happening with the environment for decades.

I suggest we should use it as motivation for scientists and doctors to learn leadership skills, recognizing that humans don't just respond to facts and figures. Like it or not, we respond to stories, images, community, personality, and so on. We aren't likely going to lead Trump to learn science so if we want science in our leadership, we'll have to take the initiative.
Workplace these days is a minefield. If you have to talk to someone, only talk about what needs to be talked about and nothing more. Preferably also try to record every interaction or at least run a diary - location, time, who, few bullet points describing the encounter plus some additional facts - what was in the room? was there anyone else? how they looked like? in what manner the person talked to you? and so on. You will thank yourself later if it turns out you were working with a snake.

Not likely to be smoke. However TRIM failures were very common with SSDs early on and even today some distros disable or partially disable it by default (see for example this Debian warning: https://wiki.debian.org/SSDOptimization#WARNING). Upstream Linux does not enable TRIM for MD-raid devices unless you use a special kernel boot parameter. "Continuous TRIM" (which means setting the discard parameter on the filesystem so that files are automatically trimmed on deletion) is also a good way to reveal bugs and problems, some of which will merely kill performance when you delete files, and others will nuke your data.
No, it's the opposite of fascism. It's voluntarism or anarchy.

Fascism is a totalitarian authoritarian political doctrine where the state is strong.

I love/hate it when I see pieces of software come out that would solve problems I had 10 or 15 years ago and had imperfect solutions for. This would have been great for a software project for call centre analytics I was employed to work on back in the mid-2000s. I believe I used HSQL (embedded Java DB) but it was really not the right tool. At the time I looked at MonetDB but its architecture wasn't right for what I was doing. This would have fit the niche perfectly.

This is really neat. Wish I had a problem I could use it for now.
That's called stylometry and it can be surprisingly accurate under the right conditions.

I feel like this is still an unsolved notational problem. Let's say I want to give you the elevation of Mt Everest in feet to 3 sig figs. I could say 29,000 ft, but that'd be misread as 2 sig figs. So I have to say something like 29010^2 , or 2.9010^4 , to convey the correct information. Or just 2.90e4. Maybe there's nothing better?

Famously, the original surveyor of Mt Everest calculated 29,000 exactly but lied and added 2 feet to make it 29,002 so that people would understand he meant 5 sig figs, not just 2. That's one way of solving the problem ...
The company is pretty big. Traditionally, the engineers have been contractors, but the company is now bringing more development in-house. As such, the teams are going to be growing quickly, and there is a lot of the engineer practice which is undefined. I'm newer to being a software engineer as my "day job" (my previous roles have been in product management, and a few customer-facing roles, like "pre-sales engineer").

The referrals seem to be all over the place! Since I interviewed with a few "levels" of people (engineer, product manager, engineer leadership), everyone has introduced me to a couple different "flavors" of who they consider great in the company. Different departments, titles. So far, they have all been really fun and interesting conversations - hasn't SEEMED to be a chore to folks, but I could be missing something.

"how to you envision us working together" - At the beginning of my personal intro email, I introduced my role and team/group. Since - in the end - its a technology role, I believe that everyone can envision how technology would make their life a little better. There's always something to be automated, an annoying process fixed. I write down the interesting questions people ask, and do my best to research them and follow up, or connect with someone who knows more than I do. Hoping it could help get their problem some attention, and I get to learn about "real" problems in the process.

While my role is not overly broad, I know that since we are planning to grow the team rapidly, there is expectation (I believe) to have an impact and to help scale/onboard the new team members. I am hoping to do a lot of this front-loading NOW, so when I inevitably need to help onboard a new engineer in a few months, I'll hopefully have a bunch of "you need to know this" info handy, and can help introduce them to people I found helpful when joining.

Did that fully answer your question? If not, pile on!

Another way to think about it is that no product is ubiquitously liked by the entire population. One important part of developing a new product is figuring out who your target audience is. Their feedback is likely relevant to you, but the feedback from someone who'd never use it anyway can probably be taken with a grain of salt. It's very common for people to think that, for something to be successful, everyone must appreciate it. However, that's not true. For instance, there are lots of things I don't see the point of (like tiktok or instagram); yet, they're very successful products. I'm just not the target audience.

That said, I don't even think his main point was really invalid. Dropbox didn't really replace pendrives, people are still carying those around. As pointed out, connectivity is still an issue and people want to have an offline backup.
Bob runs a small but successful company that produces a niche variety of widget for manufacturing sector X. Bob likes a cigarette! He applies his personal agency and smokes several packs a day. He says they help him focus. One day, in his forties, Bob is diagnosed with emphysema and learns he doesn't have long to live. In between crossing items off his bucket list, he tries to find a way to keep his company going; but no one else understands this niche like Bob does.

Bob dies and the company goes under. A few of his customers can't find alternate suppliers and go under as well. Some products cease to exist; others become more expensive. A huge loss to the market.

We all pay for others' mistakes and misfortunes.

It doesn't sound like that to me, but maybe I am misunderstanding what a comparative analysis would entail.
Read the Paper: Don't Be a Victim of Algorithms
I’m not objecting to the idea of alternative theories. I’m objecting to the parent commenter’s idea that “explains more galaxies with a single parameter” should be an argument in favor of it. By that metric your Mercury example is a great illustration: oddities in several of the outer planets’ orbits were caused by unknown planets, but only Mercury’s unusual orbit requires new theories of gravity. So clearly the Newtonian theory explains more instances with a single parameter, and is thus better. (Obviously in the real world this is not how theories should be evaluated.)

The appropriate MOND/DM analogy here would be to propose general relativity as an explanation for Mercury but then find another planet(oid) in the system where GR suggests an effect, but to notice that the effect is measurably not present. You can’t just say “got most of them right” when you propose such a theory. You need to revise your theory until it explains the observations.
Programmers have been well paid since at least the dot com bubble, that's a conservative 20 years, wouldn't consider that 'fairly recently' imo.

Outside of a few hotspots like Silicon Valley, programming salaries tend to ramp up quickly in the first few years then hit a plateau. Other professionals like lawyers, accountants, doctors start more slowly but their plateaus are much, much higher. This is why 25-year-old programmers think that they're rich. They haven't hit that plateau just yet, but most will, and sooner than they think. And not long after that they will have their first encounter with ageism. A lawyer or a doctor will never experience that, because his profession values experience. That is the hardest part of staying in this industry for decades, you get to see all your hard-won knowledge become worthless, for no reason other than fashions change.

The vast, vast majority of programmers aren't in tech firms, they are writing internal software for companies in other industries for whom software is a cost, not a profit centre. Those programmers are paid the same as any other mid-level office workers. These programmers are barely represented on sites like HN however so they are almost invisible.
There are many beneficial things people can do but are not doing. For example: investing your money. Many people aren't doing it (instead leaving cash in their bank account for a large part of their life) out of pure laziness/ignorance of its benefits.

Let's assume you're a junior SWE in the Bay Area, making $130K. Annual take home is ~$85,753 according to [1]
You pay $3K in rent (nice 1 bedroom apt in South Bay, or just a decent one in SF), $2K for various expenses, that's $60K and you're left with $25K.

This is for a junior engineer, and granted they might want to save $25K vs $15K (arguable; I would consider those savings don't matter much in the long run, the goal being to quickly increase your salary by advancing your career), but an engineer in a large tech company is making closer to $250 - $300K total comp, and you'll see that the $10K donation isn't making much of a dent in your savings at that point.

> No matter how often I say "I'm not against masks", people still read it is "this guy is against masks", merely because I question the quality of the scientific evidence. No sane discussion on this topic is possible anymore, it's all "which side are you on, boy?", which is disheartening.

You've said you're against advocating mask usage. We are arguing that although there could certainly be more and better evidence, that there is more than sufficient evidence to advocate for their widespread usage.
I’ve still got mine. I should replace it with something newer, but I’m not sure what, if anything, is safe and secure.
Yeah, for sure this is the type of niche, high-effort work that would be used extensively by the closed-source world and yet struggle to find adequate support.

So should alcohol manufacturers and bartenders be thrown in jail as well?
The two aren't mutually exclusive. I support drug legalization and regulation(for many drugs. Methamphetamine and strong opioids like carbofentanyl shouldn't be legal IMO). I also think that cartel activity and drug distribution by ex-felons should not be supported.

Drug enforcement wouldn't go away if drugs were legalized and regulated.

I wouldn't trust any of those USB sticks for anything other than very light, mostly read-only use. However the SSD and NVME drives are likely to be a lot more reliable - since they are just desktop NVME/SSDs in a shell that converts the interface to USB 3 they are as reliable as an NVME/SSD in a desktop or laptop.

Be aware (as I found out a couple of days ago) the RPi 4 USB port cannot power an external USB hard disk unless you use a separate powered hub. Should be fine to use a USB SSD / USB NVME though.

I mentioned that you can do this on top of saving money. Just saving money with no goal in mind (or with the goal of buying a $1M house) is IMHO not always worth it.

Absolutely for saving to be able to survive ~1 year as life is very unpredictable, but we're talking about altruism here... Let's for a second assume we all want to have the largest positive impact on other people, is that $1M really the best way to spend your money to both improve your and other people's life? Could you instead buy a house/work elsewhere, pay $400K, and invest $600K in saving a hole bunch of people from certain death / extreme poverty?
> steal money from all the people who actually create value

When someone creates hundreds of millions of dollars in pollution and they have far less in the bank or in profits, who pays for the cleanup costs? You will. Your "simple solution" only fixes small cases of mistakes or misfortune, the easily affordable ones.

And while you might be happy living in a society where you watch someone die on the sidewalk because they should "pay for their mistakes or misfortunes" I think the vast majority of us don't want anything to do with that kind of society. We aren't here to serve the economy, it's here to serve us.
