I think a lot of developer don't really understand OOP, and as a result they mess it up. In many ways functional programming is more straight forward, easier to get your head around it, but you can still mess it up just as much.
I feel your statement above is a little naive. You should read some Martin Fowler. Be less reactive and more informed. Find balance.
Software systems, regardless of methodology, need good experienced designers There is no silver bullet.
I wouldn't just blame developers; I feel like the OOP languages most of us have been stuck with deserve some scorn as well.
The major functional languages all come from academic backgrounds, and it shows. They're very principled, and a lot of thought is put into designing languages that are clean and actively encourage you to write clean code.
The major object-oriented languages, by contrast, tend to come out of non-academic environments. Their design was often compromised by pragmatic concerns (C++, Java), or by their being hobby languages being designed by folks for whom Barbara Liskov maybe isn't a household name. I don't want to hate on these languages too much - C++ and Java and Python and Ruby make the world turn, after all, and I suspect that's partially because they let you get away with so much. But they are what they are.
Interesting article, but a bit far fetched. You can sync your clocks to GMT, nothing stopping you do that. But I doubt you will convince anyone else to. And what about daylight saving time? As much as I hate daylight saving, its still a custom that is used in many parts of the world. There was no mention of this in your article. In the end of the day, we are all quite used to syncing our clocks relative to sunrise. 9am means the same thing where ever you are in the world. So in some ways time zone keeps us all in reasonably in sync to sunrise
>Interesting article, but a bit far fetched. You can sync your clocks to GMT, nothing stopping you do that. But I doubt you will convince anyone else to.
I don't think it was about "convincing". It was about it happening by decree. You know, just like how the timezones we use were enforced in the first place, or Gregorian calendar, or any other regular time keeping...
This system is very inefficient. So inefficient that it would not be useable on mobile devices, and you would have to trust a 3rd party to verify websites for you.
>Neither self-signed nor CA-signed certificates are securely authenticated
CA-signed certs are authenticated by the certificate authority. You cannot trust that a website presenting itself as google, is google, without any prior information. But google can get a certificate issued by a ca, and you can trust the ca.
Why do you think ca signed certs are not securely authenticated?

It sounds like you're thinking about running a blockchain node locally. DNSChain is exactly fixing that issue. It is even more efficient than the current system.
> A-signed certs are authenticated by the certificate authority.
Incorrect, CA-signed certs are authenticated by any certificate authority.

I use zoho too, with 1 custom domain for about 2 years without issues. It's free. The email interface is kind clumsy, but I rarely use it. I go on pop3 mostly.
On the negative side, zoho is a USA based company.
Very cool. How is the ink used? I think I will go read about offset printing. I mean we see the result every day, but just take it granted. Interesting
If you'd like to use this sort of ink in a hands-on way, without a multimillion dollar computerized commercial offset press or anything, look for a local arts institution's course in letterpress or intaglio printmaking. (The latter is more drawing-oriented than the former.) It's rather fun. You also get to use some really nice paper, too.
You can find this sort of ink in squat little tins in the right art supplies store.
I think you are creating a storm in a tea cup. I agree that there has been some copy pasting of code blocks. But that's life and the nature of writing.
