  • Jesus christ, some of these things rang up >50% more expensive. Do people really not notice stuff like this? I’d love to say I catch it every time it happens, but that’s probably some type of bias. I’ve definitely caught it several times over the years.

    It’s also illegal for them, at least in my state but I hope in all states, to not honor the shelf price when pointed out. They are also required to update the shelf price in a timely manner afterward. Can’t remember the exact time but I want to say it’s a day or two. If they don’t, you can report them.

    I’ve had this happen a few times. And at Home Depot the employee ripped off the shelf tag off right in front of me. Honored the price, of course.














  • My conclusion is that the author doesn’t know how to use OOP properly and thus is calling the entire thing garbage. You only have to look at the method vs function argument to see that.

    I program in both styles every day. They both have advantages and disadvantages. Though, admittedly, it’s difficult to differentiate between IDE benefits, language benefits, and language style (FP vs OOP) benefits.

    I’ll tell you what I hate about the FP language I use. How do you determine if two objects are related to one another in some way? Hope and pray to God someone documented it because the language sure won’t give you any hints. If you set up your objects in OOP right, it’s all laid out in the models.
