This reminds me, anyone happen to have any contemporary dinosaur books with updated illustrations?

Sort of silly question, but have you also tried closing and reopening the software?

How do you indoctrinate the curiosity out of people? 😬

Thanks for the response, and the link! It's interesting info, and good pointers to look to some of the existing tools from your OS and/or hardware providers for getting a start into whatever you're working on.

I think I might have made the mistake of thinking they wouldn't be available and only bothering to look till after trying a lot of other indirect methods, so it's a good reminder to check for any available official tooling and then supplement them with others where needed.

Clay is often baked and hardened, however, is it not? What if it remained rather soft?

Thanks for elaborating! I'm pretty sure I've written some variations of the first form you mention in my learning projects, or broken them up in some other ways to ease myself into it, which is why I was asking as I did.

One is simply organizing your code by having a bunch of operations that could be performed on the same data be expressed as an object with different functions you could apply.

Not OP, but also interested in wrapping my head around OOP and I still struggle with this in a few different respects. If what I'm writing isn't a full program, but more like a few functions to process data, is there still a use case for writing it in an OOP style? Say I'm doing what you describe, operating on the same data with different functions, if written properly couldn't a program do this even without a class structure to it? 🤔

Perhaps it's inelegant and terrible in the long term, but if it serves a brief purpose, is it more in the case of long term use that it reveals its greater utility?

Do you mean this comment? It may have been at the time you saw it, but it didn't last.

Where are those people in Lemmy?

Also, for those few posts of creative stuff around here, where are the people to upvote and comment on them?
