For me it depends on the use case. If I'm designing something with an interface for someone downstream to use, I'll usually define (data)classes even if I have a functional interface.

For data science/modeling/notebooks I usually wouldn't define classes.

I think it also depends on your team; if everyone else is a functional programmer and you're writing classes or vice versa, this will undoubtedly create frictions.

I'm curious, if you were emperor for a day, you would like to see Switzerland do?

I can see why Reddit needs to secure the user base. As not accounts proliferate they need to be able to demonstrate verified real users to their advertisers. Unfortunately for privacy, this will be widespread, in that case. I'm opting out.

Funny how I never see articles on Lemmy about improvements in LLM capabilities.

I can't tell if you're an LLM troll or a kid, but I just want to clarify what the position is that you're staking out.

You're saying everyone who claims to be trans IS trans. OK, perhaps we have different definitions here.

My claim is that the idea of gender dysphoria spreads through social networks. There is a lot of evidence supporting this and should be your prior. I can't help you if your search engine doesn't work. I didn't claim trans people don't exist, and I don't know why you think being rude to strangers on the internet is acceptable.

Please reflect on why this is such an emotional topic for you. I literally don't care and merely acknowledged that it's a very complicated topic. Perhaps you should spend less time on social media, as it is well established that trans issues were targeted by bad actors to inflame voters on the left and right last election; you may be a victim.

The diffusion of ideas through society is a foundational principle of sociology. It isn't a trans vs not trans thing, it's just the way society works. This doesn't deny the existence of trans kids, rather there are internal and external pressures (to both affirm or deny) their identity. Like I said, this is a complicated topic, and to act like every teenager who raises their hand and says they are trans is definitely trans is delusional.

I shouldn't need to provide you a citation, it should be your prior; ideas spread through society through a variety of mechanisms, this is sociology 101. You should be providing me with a citation showing me how this is the one idea that isn't subject to diffusion.

... and it's fine if this is the case. It doesn't deny the existence of trans kids or people, but let's be realistic about the reward structure of peer groups and social media.

You may need to work on your jokes :)

It's a very complicated topic where for some kids it's the right choice, other kids are feeling this way due to social contagion, and it's turned into a weird culture war. Reductive posts like this (edit: OP's post) don't help.

Holy shit reading that wasn't what I needed to start my day. I hope these fuckers burn.

Have you considered the possibility that, if you have 2k bookmarks, this isn't necessarily a self-hosting issue, but rather a bookmark hoarding issue :)
