"the right" didn't invent "global warming"....the left did.
Listen, maybe, or maybe not, there is man-made global warming, but when the left calls for the death-penalty for global warming "denialists", then we know it's the official religion of the left.
The politics of "global warming" is too intertwined with leftist political agenda.
You people can keep on being "denialists" about that in public, we know its true.
In the mid-late 90s, when I started writing C++, I had a gut instinct that methods and data shouldn't be encapsulated together. I couldn't explain why though.
Rich Hickey started clarifying it for me a little though. I can't dig up the interview he did, but he talked about classes being mini-DSLs and hindering reuse. That makes sense to me.
I much prefer generic functions and multi-dispatch in Common Lisp's CLOS and the new language Stanza - it just seems more flexible.
But generally, I want to think about data transformations and not little "machines" (objects) doing things things to their state internally.
Where besides NYC? Nowhere. Americans like their cars. They like to drive. America is not the collectivist/statists that represent modern HN...which is pretty sick.
Hackers are anti-establishment! Hackers are not conformists that defer to government minders!
you pop into the market as you walk past it on the way home from work,
We're not European, we're not going to be European...ever. We just don't "pop in" to some market while we're walking by. We pop-in while we're driving by or we plan to drive 5 minutes to an awesome supermarket.
Just stop this constant crap about walking and "only if we're like some European village" crap that will never happen in America.
