The worst is going out of your way to establish style rules. I have seen style rule documents which were honestly more complicated than our tax laws. One million rules, with at least another million exceptions to each. Code reviews were mustly about discussing new rules or exceptions than accomplishing anything productive. What a waste of time.
Paradigms like object orientation or functional programming look at things from different angles. They all have different strengths and weaknesses. It is absolutely subjective which ones suit you best. For example, I hate functional languages. I understand the concept, but having to use them is no pleasure at all for me. On the other hand I can sit there and merrily write down machine code or assembly, full of pointers, memory management, jumps (= GOTOs) and a general lack of abstraction, which apparently very many have extreme problems with. So the level of absurdity in ane language or another is strictly in the eye of the beholder.

It has nothing to do with being smart or not. Every problem may look like a nail to someone who only has a hammer. Owning a tool box does not mean that you are not allowed to have preferences. No matter what they say, no tool in the box is the perfect answer to every problem.

Can we get an outlandish?

You should not need to create a keyword for the most common state of play (e.g. many languages have unsigned as a modifier but few have signed as most numbers are signed). So, based on the programs that I have seen and virtually all of the ones that I have written, we need a modifier / attribute for the exceptional situations. I, therefore, suggest [NotAbsurd] or, in extreme cases, [Sensible] .
This would save having to litter the source with redundant [Absurd] attributes / qualifiers

Correct.
For = PRO
Axes (plural of axis rather than axe) = XY

I got PROXY, I got XY - but I didn't tie them together...

Hi All,
Spreading the joy, as I have started a new project. Now comes the hard bit finding something to do as most of the people have run away from it... the hard bit is there is no definition of what it's supposed to do or why. There is a lack of testable stuff, also no mention of what OS is to run on the 104, hence the question last night about M$ embedded. I think it will be some version of Wind River going by previous experience.

PC 104? I liked that architecture even though I didn't have the chance to manhandle it much.

Yup PC-104, manhandle is the correct term, you can spend ages trying to get the driver right!

Yes. Very deep pockets judged going by their acquisition spree for the past few years.

They just don't want to pay the shareholders, so they go around and buy things and off load cash . I think someone needs to hold nutella accoundable too.. he is gone all cloudy in the head.

Quote: Microsoft announced a significant reorganization of its Windows business back in March.
...
The organizational changes mean that Joe Belfiore, who has been the face of Windows Phone in the past, is taking on more of the important consumer-facing parts of Windows.
So the guy who killed the [at that time] largest mobile phone manufacturer, sorry, couldn't sell the ms phone, sorry in plain words, has demonstrated a history of having no clue what people want now gets to be in charge of the consumer facing facet of windows?? FFS
Why don't they just come out and say they are killing windows, instead of [just like the phone] have a lot of people suffer when it [probably very soon] falls down.
hmm, ape-pol, klome-ass or linuts? (start with the cheap Chinese version in case first choice is wrong.)
This internet thing is amazing! Letting people use it: worst idea ever!
