@jason

I do like being able to easily bundle properties and functions together. I think objects are useful if kept in their simplest form.

Though I think some would argue that not using inheritance and interfaces and such precludes it from really counting as OOP

It's this mentality that shows you aren't mediocre. Simplicity requires more skill, not less.

I totally agree on this. I found that often things that appeared to need inheritance at first glance often didn't if I gave deeper thought to it.

Granted I was working on much smaller projects rather than crazy huge multi team enterprise apps, but I'd guess that even then this is a good "rule of thumb".

migadu has a cool workaround.

instead of:
alias+user@domain.tld

you give:
alias@user.domain.tld

then internally it transforms it to an alias when it comes in.

Historically I'd say Emacs plugin system predates atom and sublime, and was certainly as impressive in its flexibility.

it's also important to remember that different kids have different needs. Some kids can handle it fine, others may be more at risk due to past trauma or developmental delays.

I do agree it's all about teaching them safety and guiding them rather than forever sheltering them.

What's most dangerous is completely leaving them to fend for themselves.

I have spoken to multiple parents about how dangerous this "game" is.

I tell them that I'd let my kids walk across times square in NYC alone before I'd let them play Roblox.

Honestly times square is pretty safe these days, but it seems to be an effective analogy to other parents emphasizing the kind of danger that roblox presents.

Don't worry it's completely different now. Martha retired so now Mary Ellen sends the emails.

It's comments like these that make me wish that fedi had some kind of downvote system.

@Wizard_Pope oh yeah they do that for everyone. It's a safety feature called puny code.

people were using weird chars to impersonate well known domains for phishing, so if you register a domain using unusual or mixed language characters it renders it as puny code to prevent spoofing.

@SpaceCowboy

Then how do I know what I am not allowed to access?

In this specific case there was no (formal) indication that the data was out of bounds.

I can't put 10 pdf files in a web dir and claim 5 are public and 5 are private, then charge you with a crime for viewing them.

You can't have "unauthorized access" when there's no authorization at all
