gorkempacaci··on Polymorphism and other important aspects of inheritance
You can have inheritance without polymorphism if you don’t override any of the inherited behavior?
gorkempacaci··on Kraken lays off 30% of staff
Would you be able to expand on this? Why do they do that? Sounds shady.
gorkempacaci··on Turns are better than radians
If the op had claimed this is only about API design and efficiency, he'd get much less shit because he has a good argument there.
gorkempacaci··on On Longevity
Recently I’d seen this on Metformin: https://www.science.org/content/article/rare-genital-defects...
gorkempacaci··on Translate a message 10 times into different languages and back
It would have been cool to see a translation to the original language at every step, to reveal the gradual loss of meaning.
gorkempacaci··on September 11, 2001 media synced in real-time
The page is terrible on iOS safari. Videos keep popping up and can’t close the thing.
gorkempacaci··on Sauna use as a lifestyle practice to extend healthspan
I take it you have’t met many Finnish people.
gorkempacaci··on Why are so many successful founding CEOs software engineers?
Dubious. Software and computing itself as an industry has been thriving in the last decades, so it is natural the founders come from the same field.
gorkempacaci··on Balintore Castle Restoration Project
Balintore Castle is a wonderful place both in architecture and and its surroundings. It's great someone is restoring it with such attention to detail. If you're in scotland it's a good trip, not for only seeing Balintore but for the whole drive and back. I heard they're also hosting via airbnb the few completed rooms.
gorkempacaci··on A Swedish doctor's perspective on Covid
Sweden didn’t go into total lockdown but still did a lot. In the grocery store the cashiers are in a plastic bubble. Wherever there is a line there are marks on the floor to show where to wait to keep distance. Nobody shakes hands for quite some time. Yes, people go to Cafes/restaurants but restaurants have been assessed and assigned covid-friendly seating layouts. There are many more things that clearly separate today from last year for daily life in Sweden.

So numbers going down and death rate staying low should be partly connected to this. Also, Sweden is quite a different country to begin with. Sparsely populated and half of all households are single person. So this ‘doctor’ is a bit careless while he tells the world to do like Sweden. It might end up much worse.

gorkempacaci··on IBM has a standard to represent JSON as XML
This isn't as ridiculous as most repliers seem to think. XML doesn't readily recognise JSON as a first-class object, and this is a valid way to make that happen. If your host document is XML, this is a quite proper way of including a JSON object as a part of your XML document (as opposed to including the JSON object as a string).
