I thought this was about the other type of "Girl Games"...

Thats OOP, we don't do that anymore!!! /s

> For example, I don't ever see anyone using `dynamic` or `object` in C#

I have bad news for you

On my last Japan vacation I actually managed to gain weight

> however someone made a validator that resolves the logic to a specific class at runtime. So you'd basically have validator.validate(Object someObject).

The pains of not having multiple dispatch.

And yet we don't. Curious!

> If I have a fruit which is an apple or a banana, I can't pass that to a method expecting an apple or banana. It can only be passed as a fruit.

You can by overriding the method on apple or banana. If your method is on some other object, then yes, you cannot do this unless your programming language supports multiple dispatch.

You in particular have been doing excellent work fostering this persecution complex in him.

It's never enough for these people.

It's both hilarious and sad to see a bunch of 30-40 year old open source devs with mentalities comparable to Reddit moderators collectively bullying a 20(?) year old slightly immature dude.

> Maybe its basic phenomenology, but I wish I could see these websites as I once did, funny and edgy. Today I feel like there was something a bit darker that corrupted many users.

Well, back in those days, at least my country was also not flooded with mass migration in the millions.

Dynamic scope is still very useful for some things. But it's certainly way over-used in a lot of the old Emacs libraries for example.

I could just as well argue that those families have better genetic material and that is why they are wealthy.

Except without any of the good parts of historic feudalism.

I work in a "Mittelstand" company and we are definitely operating mostly on chaos.

I wish Mozilla would pivot to developing Firefox.

If we grind down humans into fine dust, we could fit trillions of people into San Francisco.

> Another example, if there’s some repetitive task that you automate at a software dev job, would you get rewarded for figuring out how to automate it? The answer is obviously dependent on culture, at my current gig you just get brushed off

The only reward I need for automating a tedious task is my own sanity.

One thing that I have observed is that for a leftist, human nature is truly a puzzling affair. After all for him, all is relative. All aspects of human society, culture, morals are but a cage some other powerful humans have erected over us. It's like living in the Matrix, all these silly sheeple blindly following what THEY pretend is normal and they don't even question it!

No! Impossible! These fellow humanoids are brainwashed! They are not acting in their best interest, but according to the rules of the framework that benefits their masters!

> - I prefer functions over classes.

I also prefer apples over brooms.

This is historical revisionism. Mein Kampf was a decently well selling book even before the Nazis came to power, with an estimated number of 241000 copies sold.

This is of course dwarfed by the number of copies distributed after the Nazis came to power.

Any why does their opinion matter?

That's not a good background color. Very hard to read.

A probably healthy way to look at the issue would be "terrible things happened throughout history, but how does that matter to me right now?"

It seems to me like most people here either fall into the camp "We must remember the terrible things that happened and do everything to make sure it never happens again!" or in the "I am sick of Nazis here Nazis there, I don't care about Nazis!!!!"

I don't feel like any of these extremes are healthy. I also don't believe the daily Hitler documentaries on TV provide much valuable information beyond sensationalism and keeping the narrative alive.

I interacted with that guy in another comment and well... You are probably right, even though you are getting downvoted.

I honestly don't think such analysis is really useful. It seems to me like the AfD voter base is a diverse "anti-mainstream" coalition. The AfD is strong in east Germany since it's traditionally more right-wing and more anti-mainstream.

The AfD is also strong in Baden-Würtemberg which is traditionally a place with a high population of... well... luddites(?).

These groups might not have the same goals or the same issues they are facing, but what unites them is the feeling that the AfD represents a true opposition to the mainstream political scene.

> Anyway, back to your comment: we were talking about the perception of Germany from outside Germany.

That's probably true. But Germans tend to think that everyone else thinks of us as the Nazis that need to repent forever for their sins.

> Rather, materialism is and should be considered inconvenient when it comes to what really matters in life (children).

The problematic part is that most people only understand this after they have children.

Germany is a large retirement home operated by millions of middle easternes working for minimum wage. This is intended.

Wagenknecht is anything but far-right. She has no far-right views, she is just very clever in appealing to the "rightish" anti-mainstream protest voters.
