Some of these analogies are a stretch, but the stack and thread ones make sense.

@Rick Inception did not mean to portray machine-induced dreams as regular, everyday dreams. Machine-induced dreams are way crazier and involve multiple levels and sharing; it is not claiming that the normal dreams in its world have these special properties as well.

That means you can’t apply any current knowledge of “normal dreams” to machine-induced dreams, because they are in Inception’s sci-fi mesh of “unknown technology.”

Nice post and at the same time pretty much sums up why Inception sucked, our dreams can’t be reduced to code, but Inception can. Nolan even proposes stabilized time in dreams, talk about reductionism.

Nice I haven’t read Code Complete but Clean Code by Uncle Bob has a good chapter about using comments.

I wrote about commenting a while ago based on advice from the Elements of Programming Style:

My top comment that I have found after getting a report from our Customer Support people that something wasnt working is this:

// Code goes here..

This has now become a kind of in-joke when someone raises a problem in an area that we suspect the same ex-programmer worked on

I’ve seen commented out code in production.

One case was a one liner to put in a timeout. It was “removed” because invoked code in a dll needed to do the timeout instead. It was difficult to debug to find why the app was ending.

So two problems – the line was just commented out, and no reason for that was given. Inviting anyone in the future to re-enable the code and create the problem all over again…
