Sure. But then you have to spend way more energy on the "filtering" part. It typically makes a lot more sense in terms of energy usage to just take tap water and run it through a polishing step (deionization and/or reverse osmosis), than to take the comparatively "dirty" water coming out of your process (dirty but not toxic) and try to clean that up.
In all my experience with OOP, it's always been inheritance that is the root of all evil. Rust and Go got this correct by having class-like objects with no inheritance, to achieve encapsulation without fragility.

Unfortunately, all the other languages that included inheritance in their design can't wish it away. Devs are going to keep reaching for inheritance as the closest, most comfortable abstraction.
When I read "wasn't entirely correct", and "probability of a crash was about one in a million", I wondered how you'd work that value out.

Predictable statistics screams RNG, to me. Especially if the code author knew it was an imperfect solution, and didn't know of one that wouldn't cause this crash. (I've done stuff like this before.)
Also, for the client to crash the server, it'd need to give it some form of bad/confusing data, but for some reason this doesn't happen with fewer users.

I think that was my logic at the time of writing that comment, though I've thought of another few guesses while typing this out/reading your follow-up.
humans have kept dogs and cats and horses around even though many of them aren’t used for their original purposes anymore, so I’d be surprised if some sentimental folks didn’t keep a few cows or sheep or whatnot around just for fun.
It is not a generational issue. Sometimes it seems like the Internet thinks that all the *isms have been invented after 2010. Studying newspapers or TV shows from the 1970s easily refutes that assumption.

Also, there is no correlation between goodness and vegetarianism:

Yep. They have a product people like and those people like it so much they do the marketing for them. It is the dream of any company to not have to do traditional marketing and advertising.

And what more would I possibly want from their product? It is a good product at a reasonable price. People are going to go with what they like.

All you have to do at this point is not mess that up. Don’t try to increase profit margins by raising prices or changing the formula. And don’t do anything that is going to lower brand recognition.

The biggest risk to Heinz ketchup, for example, is their premium price. Restaurant owners often go with a different ketchup because Heinz costs significantly more. Obviously Kraft-Heinz has determined that they can make more money this way and since they have strong brand recognition it probably won’t harm them.
What's your definition of running simultaneously because CPython's approach to running on multiple cores is multiprocessing which works honestly fine. The tooling to do it is pretty slick where you can ignore a lot of the typical pain of IPC.

Because if "good" concurrency support means single-process multi-threaded on multiple cores running with enough locks that you can have multiple threads executing code simultaneously in a shared memory space then a lot of languages are going to fall down or punt all responsibility for doing that safely to the programmer which might as well be no support.

You conspicuously don't actually name any OO principles. If you did I'm sure we could find "OO" languages that don't conform to them.

My personal definition of OO has been backed down to directly connecting some concept of "method" to a data structure, and some form of polymorphism of those methods depending on what data structure you pass in to some function/method. You may note this is incredibly weak, but it does have the virtue of usefully distinguishing between two sets of languages, and that those two sets will have real differences in how you program them. Beyond that it's hard to create a definition of OO that has the second property; you may be able to split the world into "languages that implement OO visibility rules (private, protected, public) and those that don't", but you'll fail the second criterion, in that languages that just leave everything public aren't meaningfully different to program in than ones that implement the visibility rules.

I could create several different sets of "OO principles", which wouldn't be mutually exclusive necessarily but certainly would be distinguishable. Especially the distinction between the silly principle that OO objects should somehow reflect real-world entities, which was the major failure in 1980s/1990s OO principles and has, mercifully, all but died in the modern era but most certainly was at one point an "OO principle", and any of the several sets of OO principles I could name that actually function in the real world.

I have not criticized TFA's arguments, only general approach.

You can be correct with details yet completely wrong about overall findings.

Of course abuse of OOP is causing memory layouts that are bad for performance. But you can't jump from this to saying that OOP is bad.

I will give you an example to show how absurd is this argument.

Python is order of magnitude more damaging to app performance than OOP. Surely, that must mean that "Python is bad" and projects should not be using it.

This is absurd, invalid way of coming to conclusions.

> instead resorting to pithy sayings, then maybe we should consider the criticism more carefully?

I don't care much about insults, certainly not the ones coming from anonymous people.

Why does it cost so much to build things in America?
Domestic animals are already going extinct[1] as agriculture standardizes on the most profitable, most stable, or lowest maintenance breeds. Most domestic breeds wouldn't survive transition to wild living, survive by outcompeting native wildlife. That's why we don't have flocks of wild chickens roaming North America but there feral pigs are a menace.

Based on this, I would bet that our current domestic meat animals would go extinct relatively quickly. There are some people who try to preserve various breeds in what are essentially zoos, but I can't imagine them operating in perpetuity.

If it's true that Windows 11 (home or pro) requires me to create an online account, then I'm finally done with Windows at home. I really hope that it isn't, but it does seem like this has been coming since Windows 10.

I can understand from a company perspective that this kind of thing reduces piracy (and losses for a $2tn company), potentially improves the Windows upgrade route in future, and has minor benefits to some customers (cloud storage + 'take your account anywhere').

But there's exactly zero technical reasons to push this onto customers.

I mostly use Linux all the time now so it won't be a problem to completely ditch Windows, but it's a shame that it's come to this.
I'm not so sure about that. Lab grown meat has the potential of offering consistent quality at consistent prices, something that's hard to do in fish farms. You're still breeding animals, but far from their natural habitat and far from their natural diet -- with lab grown meat, the equation changes in that sense.
You're foolishly projecting ideology and personal beliefs into somewhere so far removed from the consumer that it simply won't matter.

Commodities buyers don't care who's corn is ethical or who's corn is unethical. They don't care who's ground beef is manly and who's isn't. It all comes down to cost per results at the end of the day. Resource usage is just a part of that calculation. No different than the cost of shipping.

If McDonalds and Walmart can cut their existing beef with fake plant beef or lab beef without hurting their bottom line (by making their products less attractive to consumers) they will.

Will there be people who try and capture the high end market with some ideologically themed marketing in the meantime? Of course. But make no mistake, the long term goal for these new synthetic meat (both plant meat and lab meat) producers is not the high end market. It's the thousands of reefer cars that put that house brand 80/20 on a store shelf near you. Pandering to whatever the premium consumer wants to hear until you can make your product cheap enough and good enough to make real money is just a necessary part of bootstrapping that.

Putting the McDouble back on the dollar menu with the help of synthetic beef is what societal progress looks like.
I imagine a lot of the freshwater savings involves not needing to feed an animal. What they drink and eat takes large scale agriculture and processing operations which will be cut drastically.
> The main problems are 1) that catastrophic events can and will happen in the future. That's why nobody wants to live next to a nuclear power plant.

The chances for such events are vanishingly low when it comes to modern reactors. Seriously, as hard as it is to believe, we've come so, so far from Chernobyl. Thorium-based reactors are meltdown-proof [0], and Thorium comes with the plus in that it's not as easily weaponizable [1].

> 2) Nuclear waste storage.

Thorium reactors also produce less dangerous waste [2], which is great! They're not a panacea by any means- it is still technically possible to make weapons using Thorium reactors even if it's more difficult, and fuel is harder to prepare, but I do think the upsides greatly overcome the downsides.

Solar and wind aren't viable everywhere, which is why we need nuclear. The sooner we get over our inveterate fear of it, as difficult as it may be, the better.

Ok, in case you didn't get it by the tone of my post, I am that cuban immigrant.

I find it fascinating that Cuba is a country notorious for spreading propaganda and yet not a single comment in this post asks whether the data in that article is true... People just take the numbers at face value and rationalize their way into how such a small nation achieved such tremendous feat. Btw, I have family in the island still getting sick after being administered such a great vaccine...

> I'm calling you out right now, there is no widespread child mortality or shortage of soap in Cuba. I have been there.

Wrong. Plenty of children carry parasites because of lack of hygiene and dirty water. I won't even get into how many families lose children at birth because of bad hospital conditions. Did you do a blood test on children when you visited too?

> People leave Cuba nowadays because they are fleeing the law, or want to become rich which they can't in Cuba.

wrong again. People leave Cuba for multiple reasons including oppression, no freedom of expression, lack of resources. Just so you have an idea, the govt removes the ability to buy milk for children aged past 7. The govt makes it illegal to buy meat (particularly from cows) and other forms of seafood. I spent an entire year where my only source of protein was from eggs (if there were any) because everything else was inaccessible.

> It is in no way an exodus. Cuba has a net emigration rate of -0.11% per year, and has been decreasing every year for a decade or so.

Is this a joke? Have you ever heard of El Mariel or Peter Pan operations?

> The reason why people leave Cuba in rafts is because they don't have money for other forms of transport and/or because they are illegally immigrating. You'd be surprised but it's really hard to get into the US.

Nope. The govt has a hold on who can leave the country. You need to be awarded a permit just to visit another nation (part of the reason why Cuban's revere tourists). Only way to exit the island is illegally (through a raft), whenever some nations allow for legal migration through an application process (e.g., Canada but even then the govt needs to vet who gets to leave — doctors never allowed) or through some connections with the govt.

Pleas don't work.

What works is restrictions.

This is why when iOS restricts apps from eating up the entire physical RAM on the device, and developers complain that this is not like on the mac/PC, they should realize Apple is extremely familiar that it's not. And it'll never be. When you let go of restrictions, applications bloat up to take the available resources while adding almost nothing in terms of functionality.
This is why you would build a mining pool or multiple pools
They pay for themself and by the time the miners notice the abuse its too late.

You could probably create a pool that grows rather fast if you simply pay more than others this would be possible by not generating any profit form the pool or worst case you could pay on top.

far more likely is a scenario where an existing pool owner or a few collude and pull this off as "exist scam". A crypto winter where the price of BTC drops below the mining cost would be the perfect situation. low hash rate. price of BTC down so not many people shorting and mining hardware cheap form all the miners who went bankrupt.
Once a miner/pool has 51% it would eventually make financial sense to kill BTC for a final huge profit rather than slowly going bankrupt as well.
Such a system sounds nice in theory. In practice it leads to a byzantine nightmare of configurable interfaces, support systems, and so on, with a result that is ultimately fatter and harder to maintain.

I would expect to see pockets of domesticated animals survive in captivity across the world for various non-meat purposes.

Politicians respond to public perception. Their main skill is to make themselves popular in order to be elected.

When green issues started entering the public conscience politicians quickly adopted them and proposed quick&easy fixes.

Fear of the unknown of the nuclear made them regulate and red-tape it out of the market. Just look at what Japan and German politicians did when Fukushima happened.
> could you tell me which games so i can avoid them

In this case it was the Switch version of Minecraft.

No indication whatsoever that (what I consider to be) a totally unrelated signup would be needed to collaboratively play the (very expensive) Switch game.

In my case, a bunch of kids needed to wait while I attempted to create a Microsoft login with my private email address (yes I buckled - unfortunately explaining privacy to an expectant and impatient crowd of eight-year olds isn't realistic).

But then I found halfway through the process, that I'd somehow used the same email for Skype many years ago, and the password was naturally long-forgotten - blowing that signup attempt.

Not fun to need to create a new email account, and go through the whole signup and login flow all over again, just to play a game that's been sold as a self-contained entity for a totally different non-Microsoft platform.

Shared memory spaces. Your "slick tooling" is one of the hacks I mentioned that history will forget, by the standard of "if a new language emerged that tried to call that 'concurrency' nobody would take it seriously".

I should say that "hack" here isn't necessarily a perjorative. There are reasons for communities to create and deploy those. There are plenty of cases where existing code can be leveraged to work better than it could without it, and that's the relevant standard for whether something is useful, not whether or not in a parallel universe the code could have been written in some completely different way or whether in some hypothetical sense if you could push a button and rewrite something for free you'd end up with something better. Hacks can be good, and every language will pick them up at some point as history evolves around it and some of the core assumptions a language/runtime made go out of date. But it's still a hack.

While OS process boundaries do provide some nice features, they are also in general overkill. See Erlang and Pony for some alternate riffs on the idea, and if you look at it hard enough and understand it deeply enough, even what Rust does can provide some similar benefits without raising a full OS process boundary between bits of code.

The original question was whether you could legally share modifications to the software in these circumstances, but it seems we unfortunately need now to ask an even more basic question: are we able to use the software at all?
That is fair enough. However it would still backfire, because the general public can't listen to anything responsibly.

I predict a nasty wave of COVID this fall/winter including in relatively highly vaccinated areas due to just this attitude already.
