well, I imagine they have to start somewhere

and they will gradually get complicated tasks

actually sounds like a trainee

My experience is totally to the contrary. That American software is overpromoted crap - see you there Salesforce.

I have an (admittedly) older BMW. It just works. At first I thought that the cruise control lever is worse than buttons on the weel. After spending a lot of time in the car - no it isn't, it's much better.

DI yes. All the crap under the name of "Clean" Architecture - no.

> Does the vast majority of people do more than one thing on their computer at a time?

Absolutely. Just looking at my wife, an office worker. Even when not working with whichever of 5 huge Excel files she has open, she is talking on Teams while working in a permanently open Outlook. Add a variety of internal sites which she constantly peruses. She just cannot have each single application taking the whole screen at a time.

Even if we ignore that most people who work on PC use multiple applications at the same time, at least in my experience also most office workers use at least 2 displays, plus the in-built laptop screen. Not sure if Android can handle 3 screens with each showing at least 2 applications by average.

Currently visible for me are 9 applications on 3 screens. Sure, I could minimize or close some of them (Keepass is not that important all the time), but I appreciate the convenience of having a lot of space.

that's a crazy take, consequences of a person being bumped off the plane is dramatically higher for the person than for the airline

It is not a crazy take. Both the number of passengers arriving for a particular flight and the number of seats available on a given flight is basically stochastic. It is good and proper that airlines optimise for the maximum revenue (after some compensation for bumped passengers) and in particular the maximum number of people flown, even if that entails overbooking. (Without overbooking, more planes (with more empty seats) would have to fly to transport the same number of people - why would anyone want that?)

Furthermore, a flight might be cancelled for any number of legitimate reasons (weather, strike, technical problems, crew limitations, change in government rules, etc.). A flight is not like a car trip (even though the aviation industry has been so spectacularly successful in delivering safe and reliable flights that people often forget that).

It is foolish, in my view, to rely on making any given flight.

So? You can start an airline that doesn't bump anyone off, and charge more money for that service, if you think that's what customers want.

You have to keep wondering if plan9 is so great, why nobody uses it really. Is it a conspiracy, or is it that plan9 is not that great after all?

Everybody uses Plan9, it's called "The Web" now.

probably same as with POST, that is not at all

There probably isn't a single example. But "quantity is a quality in itself". Classes sort of evolve when you need to manage dozens or hundreds of those associative arrays and don't want to keep in your head exactly what keys are in a given array. And when you have a dozen of arrays and a hundred of functions, which functions go with each array.

In itself every element is easy, but together they are hard.

Typescript to the rescue ;)

MDM in Warsaw is fine - at least from outside, no idea how comfortable it is inside. But it is a regular city built for humans.

BTW I find the centres of some US cities with their very dense skyscrapers and always shadowed streets as much bad and distopian.
