a more fleshed out exemplar

What's the difference between an exemplar and an example?

between “OOP” and “sir, this is C”.

That's more templates, ownership and operator overloading.

Polymorphism is not a modern way to program because it introduces dependencies and enormous speed hits from pointer chasing, both of which are corrosive to a good program.

You're ruining this advertisement with your negativity.

Perfect is the enemy of good. Everyone else solved it at physical locations, that should at least be a baseline.

Someone doesn't like an email that asks them to do something months from now and so you're insulting them and implying they have no friends, do I have this right?

Anything that can be parameterized and sampled can be optimized.

Did you 'build' it or did you vibe code it?

A windows native app can be a few kilobytes on disk and use only as much memory as you give to set the stack size, so you might have to use actual numbers. Native can mean a lot of things and be extremely minimal.

It truly is, I couldn't even think of a joke like that if I tried.

Steven Jobs definitely cared about the polish as a reflection of himself. He wanted people to associate the name Steven Jobs with apple. When people thought of apple they thought of Steven Jobs. He didn't want to put the name of his company on anything unpolished or tasteless because people would associate that with Steven Jobs, since everyone knew Steven Jobs had the final say.

This is like saying, "I'm not addicted to smoking, I'm addicted to the happiness cigarettes give me."

No, it's like saying you're addicted to nicotine or routine or a break with people, because that's what cigarettes give you and there are other sources of that.

It is possible to get information from other sources just as it is possible to get nicotine or a break with people from other sources. Because of this your metaphor breaks down.

I think you're reading too much into the title.

I don't think it's fair to write a misleading title then tell people "they're reading too much into it".

Implying one thing then walking it back in the article or having the article be about something totally different, then saying people should read the article and not pay attention to the title is just manipulative to your audience.

If that were true you could explain it. There are lots of solvers for navier stokes simulations and they do a good job.

This article is about a map data structure.

It's not comprehensible without understanding that huge amounts of people are watching straight up lies and propaganda all day every day for their 'news'.

Interesting that so far I don't see any comments about the epstein files and half of them not being released even under congressional order, let alone congress now being recessed for two weeks to avoid another vote for a second eptein transparency act.
