The defence strongly objected multiple times and sought a mistrial over Daniels' testimony; Judge Merchan ultimately allowed most of it over their objections, setting up a likely issue for appeal by Trump's team.

Sadly, a substantial part of the left has become illiberal.

But, thankfully, the purity spirals have recently stopped spinning as aggressively.

The InterViews library, written by John Vlissides, was for writing GUIs in C++ under X11. It came out in the early 90s. (Yes, I'm an ancient programmer)

He was one of the Gang of Four who wrote Design Patterns, but he wrote this library years before the book came out. It always seemed to me that he invented all the main patterns in the Interviews library before they were subsequently (nicely!) documented in the book (which went on to become a smash hit).

I've since realised that I much prefer functional programming (Clojure!) over OO, BUT, oh my goodness, what a truly groundbreaking and beautiful bit of work it was for its time. I read every line of code in that library, and I became a much better programmer for it.

This essay smells like referred pain.

If the author has a good case, he should just debate PG directly on his Coinbase stance. Because it sure feels to me that that's the real issue here. All the rest of the snarkiness is motivated by a disagreement on THAT issue.

You are Tim Baldridge and I claim my five parens.

Oh Man, it is certainly nice to hear something positive. Thanks!
