I believe it’s mostly cultural. Alcoholic beverages are as old as civilization itself. We drink alcohol because that has been the social norm for thousands of years.

But there’s probably something about it being a beverage as well. It goes along well with food because of this, which makes it a tasteful alternative to water.

It’s annoying when going through a list of multiple ”1 month ago” entries. Maybe I’m looking for an entry at a certain date. Aim with mouse, wait one second, repeat.

What I could easily visually identify in less than 1 second can take more than 10 seconds to find.

It also greatly increases the cognitive load of using the program. If there are many entries to look for, then it’s going to be difficult to keep all actual dates in memory.

”Where was the 14 April entry? I need to check again. Ah there it is! Now I need to compare it against the 30 April entry. Where was it again? It was just in front of me…”

Then mouse hover doesn’t work on mobile.

Then you haven’t seen bad documentation (or had that sex you regret).

Showing ”2 weeks ago” or ”1 month ago” instead of the actual date. ”1 month ago” can be anything between 30 days and 60 days ago.

There’s also ”we do machine learning”, which usually translates to ”someone trained an SVM model 10 years ago”.

Anything containing words is a meme

The flaw also highlighted a social engineering exploit. It’s not the first time some vulnerability has entered open source software due to social pressure on the maintainer. Notably EventStream exploit.

This is difficult to account for. You can’t build automated tooling for social engineering exploits.

Desychronization will likely happen considering the heart rate is varying. Both must somehow increase by exactly the same rate. Any slight variation will cause them to go out of sync.

Once they’re out of sync, it’s going to be hard for them to get back in sync.

This is assuming both hearts are independent systems. Could be a different story if there dependent (like connected in series rather than parallel), but in that case it’s conceptually no different than having one heart.

Usually the teachers/professors/lecturers have no real world experience of software development besides the usually university projects

Adding to this: university projects are built on a relatively short timeframe compared to many industry projects. The growing pains that typically occur after a few years of continuous development is unlikely with the small scale of university projects.

I wouldn’t go to a university professor for advice on how to build a system that will last a decade of development.

OOP was hype during the 90s. Schools adapted their curriculum to this trend. So they needed a programming language for this, and Java became the choice. C++ is too tricky as a first language.

The result is that a lot of people knew Java, which means it’s a good choice of language if you want to recruit programmers.

I believe most of Java’s success was luck. It released at the perfect time.

People aren’t writing new projects in COBOL. It’s mostly to maintain 40+ year old systems. Unless you’re working in the bank sector, it’s unlikely you will write a program in COBOL.

Maybe old IDEs. Like Eclipse 10-20 years ago.

Modern IDEs don’t really have these issues as frequently.

As long they don’t add pronouns. God forbid grammar in my games.

Google seem to be particularly bad at this. They did the same with Tensorflow. It was kind of the de facto deep learning framework until Google decided to deprecate everything. Everyone responded by switching to Torch instead.
