What about it?

So you don't really know what I was originally talking about yet you continue to act like you do? My point was in a response to the OP's implication that somehow the original OOP l…

>Maps can be represented 1:1 as e.g. JSON. Any JSON data is basically a big map data structure. It's one function call instead of hours of writing ORM classes or custom serialisati…

A poor model for computation that is pervasive in the industry. Poor models usually don't become pervasive.

My point is that earlier OOP documents did not implement generics. When they were finally implemented in OOP, it superseded the original intentions of OOP. The question is, are we …

Except for the fact that objects can be serialized and ORM's exist to convert your data into OOP. How do you think Entity Framework works? How do you think Rails works? You can bui…

Just because prior literature exists, does not mean it should not be superseded. For example, generics wasn't even a thing when OOP originally started and yet LINQ and basic list A…

How has the church of OOP failed? Nearly every used language is based almost entirely on OOP. OOP makes organizing software and code reuse incredibly easy. The only real downsides …

Companies have very poor development processes and scheduling which is what makes coding, in any language or framework, difficult because half the time you don't even know what you…

Nearly all security vulnerabilities are published in blog posts at some point because most companies deny a problem even exists or needs to be fixed. Sometimes they just don't even…

Not sure how this is much different than posting a blog post about it.

I'm aware. Examples are given to demonstrate abstract concepts. However, that doesn't preclude you from needing to learn the abstract concepts eventually. Otherwise, you go back to…

Except for compounding interest, percent change, percent difference, multi-variate statistics... I'm quite dumbfounded to read this comment considering nearly all of finance is don…

>My point wasn't that FSMs are useless. No, but your general point was that classes aren't taught in a beneficial manner, when in fact they are and are often directly applicable to…

I've used state machines on the job. In fact, entire architectures are designed around finite state machines. I've also solved a complex logic problem a senior engineer couldn't so…

This is like saying that if I convert mph to m/s then it's not a speed anymore. It's still a differential equation, just in a different domain because you can convert back from the…

Laplace transformations are differential equations so I fail to see your point. They're just in a different domain. However I do see your point with numerical methods since most co…

The problem is math is entirely abstract. So you must learn the abstraction before applying it. Otherwise, you learn how to add 2 + 3, but you don't learn how to add n + m.

"Such a teacher will be successful if at the end of the course every one of his or her students feels they have taken “a good course,” even though they may not quite be able to pin…

You need to learn the math before applying it. You don't apply things that you don't understand.

If you consider analyzing an RL/RC circuit as a "toy problem" then I guess you're right.

Except the article still says its out of Africa, just not from a single region in Africa.

The problem is automation is never truly automated in most jobs. There's always things that go wrong, always changes being proposed, always explaining needing to be done. Sure, you…
