    Yes.

    They don’t exactly age, but top of line chips have very large currents in very small conductors. When you do that with DC current, your conductors deform with time, up to the point that they stop working correctly.

    That said, you probably can get plenty of casual use out of them.

    One of those is the ideal version that Marx described as the ultimate goal and that can never be made by humans anyway because humans just don’t behave like that. The other one is what you actually get if you follow the Marx Manifesto and his idea of an “intermediate state” that could bring you to the end goal. (And if you go compare it with plain OG Fascism, both look way too much alike.)

    There are other things called “communism”, both the word and the concept are way older than Marx. There are even ideas that begun in that umbrella but we don’t actually group in any singular concept, and instead are “just the way things are” nowadays.









  • This leads to the long names that senior programmers make fun of.

    Hum… The notation that I’ve seen people making fun of is one where the long names encode the exact same information that C types can handle for you and nothing else. But YMMV.

    Anyway, I don’t think any naming convention can save you after somebody goes over your entire codebase converting things without care for the semantics. If you are lucky, it’s one of the lazy people that do that, and you will “only” have to revise tens of thousands of lines to fix it. If you are unlucky, the same person will helpfully adjust the names for you too.
