It's incredible how much downvotes you got for this without any explanation. Your proposal sounds sensible and I agree that we need to find a new system. It doesn't have to be this that you described but we should be open to change. Capitalism the way it is leads us in the wrong direction and socialism doesn't fare too much better in practice. We need to redraw a plan for the 21st century

We have brainwashed ourselves with dogmatic theory. I see nothing wrong with the code. This code is not for business production. It works well for what it is. Un-brainwash yourself! It's great that Knuth doesn't have to apply for a job and go through the gauntlet because that would make Knuth un-Knuth!

Did Knuth not use dependency injection? -10points! How about SOLID? -10points! No Framework? -30points! /s

There’s a guy on youtube, Sam Vankin. He is the author of Malignant Self Love: Narcissism Revisited and has been studying this for a long time. He claims to be or have been a narcisist himself due to some early childhood trauma. Look him up, he claims he developed a therapy for this and he lives in eastern europe, you can even pay him a visit if you’re interested in aleviating or improving your condition. Whats worse about this condition is, that if left untreated and despite any acomplishments you’ll have ever made you’d always be deeply unhappy within, basically a shell of your true self and this will probably spill in your life and around you and make a lot of victims: family, friends, basically everyone around you.

I think that’s the best use for 4k, there are lots of tiny details in nature that come to life in 4k. For other things, movies and such it may even make it worse in some cases, too much detail isn’t always better.

If I remember correctly you could go backwards too. The film would collect a glass covered container inside the projector's body and when the film was over you had to crank it back inside the cassette.

I agree that all over the place doesn't imply intentional or not. In this case all over the place had a human artistry twist and the final product as a piece was not all over the place but the framerate itself was.

As an anecdote, I remember when I was a kid (early 80s) my uncle who collected old cameras and projectors exchanged with me an old hand cranked pathe-baby projector for a solar powered calculator. The projector was working properly and had a few films cassettes and they were supposed to be played back at variable hand cranking speeds according to the scenes. It was an interesting experience to play those films back to my family in the only room that had absolute darkness, in the kitchen.

But that does make it all over the place even if intentional

Thanks for sharing. Indeed, this photo collection is nice. I can’t help but feel sad for these people, maybe one day the dynasty will collapse and we’ll hear real uncensored stories from NK

That is NK in a nutshell. To me it will always be surprising even if it’s been known to be like that. The artist is talking about how the restrictions are a boon to his crrativity

What changes have they made?

I noticed this recurring theme. Seems like that eventually all companies go down this path at some point if they become mega rich. At that point money alone doesn't matter as much as capturing new markets do so lots of money goes down the drain. It's a good thing for the companies that get acquired and get their paycheck.

I see as rich people who buy expensive things and let them rot because they forgot they bought them or so.

Yes, its all subjective, I know. But stepping out of the garden is what I’d like people to take out of this. Saying C# is the most beautiful language (like some commenter states) is true only if you haven’t dabbled in many languages. And once you do you feel stupid for having had this conviction in the first place. Ive used C# throughout my career, I don’t diss the language or the ecosystem, but other things are to be considered as well and cargoculting is a thing

Yes, i find that a good argument especially if you plan on using this feature a lot it can save you from shooting yourself in the foot. It also is a better idiom in F#, nicer to grok, but that’s subjective.

However, only direct experience will make you reconsider.

I’ve seen a discriminated union implementation in C# the other day and was repulsed.
