I don't see "following an established convention" as some kind of
"advantage". It's simply following a custom.

Believe it or not, long held customs can be negative. It has been a long
held custom to write "using namespace std" at the beginning of every
single C++ source and even header file since at least 1998, probably
even earlier. Does that make it good practice? No.

I don't care if using a single letter for a loop index has been a custom.
I care about code readability. If the code consists of nothing but
single-character names and symbols, it becomes extremely compressed
and thus, often, harder to decipher.

When variables actually state out what they represent or what they are
doing, the code becomes easier to read and understand.

You are kidding, right? Most of people I know would have no idea what 
HDMI or cos mean (although supposedly they all should have had learned 
the latter in school). With GPS it's maybe better, but still they think 
it contacts the satellite first.

There is no such thing as "universally used and understood". When my 
company sends me the quarterly newsletter, it is choked up with TLA-s 
whose meaning I have no idea of. I'm sure the authors are thinking these 
are all universally used and understood.

It's all about the context. When a mathematician writes an article to 
fellow mathematicians working in the same field, the phrase "it clearly 
follows" means 1 - 10 pages of proofs left out, which the reader is 
expected to substitute, by the context, and which is left out from the 
paper because it would distract the reader from the main points.

Most people who write and read code (which is what we are talking about
here) don't know what HDMI is? Right.

What's with this arguing-for-the-sake-of-arguing? It still baffles my mind
how what I have written is *so* controversial that people need to heavily
oppose it and present every single stupid counter-argument they can think
of, just for the sake of arguing.

I'm sorry, but you are not going to convince me to write less readable
code by arguing that "most people I know don't know what HDMI is".
I cannot even understand why you are presenting such a stupid argument.

Of course. For writing code there is no need to know what HDMI is, ergo, 
there exist people who write code and don't know that. I personally know 
some.

Do you know what FIDA means? (Hint: it's not related to football.) 
Should these people avoid the acronym FIDA in their code doing FIDA, 
just because some random guy on the internet has not heard about it?

It is not my goal to convince you to write less readable code, quite the 
opposite actually. I'm just pointing out that what means 'less readable' 
is not universal, but depends on the people and on the context.

Nobody here argues with you that one should write readable code and that 
over-using of auto or any other thing is bad. It's in the name. The 
opinions differ on what is 'readable' and what is 'over-use'.

It's fine to have differences of opinion, but this thread has gone to
quite ridiculous lengths. Some people seem to have taken as their mission
to argue to the end of time how utterly wrong I am.

It's not a conversation like "I understand what you are saying, but
here's my differing view on it". A good example of this is trying to
"disprove" what I have been saying by coming up with "counter-examples"
which contain artificially long variable names with a lot of needless
redundancy in them. That's certainly not understanding and acknowledging
what I'm saying (even if one disagrees with it). It's arguing in bad
faith.

I took some time and read each of Juha's posts in this extended
discussion.  As far at I can tell he is offering nothing more
than opinion, hyperbole, and an arrogant attitude that his
opinions are better than everyone else's.  There is one other
thing that struck me, which is he seems to have a singular lack
of interest in trying to understand what other people are
saying.

Are you deliberately trying to make me insult you?

When other people are saying that using full English words in
variable names instead of acronyms makes code less readable,
then you are right: I cannot understand what's wrong with these
people. They cannot seriously think such a thing.

You will have a really, really hard time convincing me of that.

Tim, I presume you're aware that your pattern of interactions here
differs from that of most other people.  Specifically, you don't
post anything for a few weeks or so, then you show up and post a
lot of responses in a short period of time.

There's nothing wrong with that, but I suggest that you need to be
more aware of the effects of your interactions.

In this case, there was a lengthy thread that devolved into personal
insults and then largely died out -- until you showed up a week
later and rekindled it.

Read the room.

And what exactly is wrong with continuing this discussion?

I presented the blasphemous proposition (which is quite commonly
held) that using full English words in variable names makes code
easier to read. Apparently this blasphemy was so utterly
egregious that it elicited a dozen or so people to barrage me
in a huge flamewar, trying to make me see the error of my ways
and recant. When I refused to do so, it only strengthened their
resolve.

Which makes absolutely no sense.

There was especially one person in this thread who apparently
had taken as his life mission to oppose me no matter what,
and to convert me to the right path (and it's the same person
who started whining "you insulted me!!!" out of the blue),
but clearly I am the bad guy here, apparently because I have
committed blasphemy and heresy.

It's going nowhere, that's what's wrong with continuing it.  Too many 
people got worked up and misunderstood or misread what others were 
saying, and the discussion was getting too ugly.  It was spoiling what 
is normally a friendly and respectful group.  The only good way out of 
such threads is for people to appreciate it is over, and leave it all 
alone.  And that means /really/ leaving it alone, not digging it up and 
bringing it into other threads with sarcastic comments.  Pretty much 
everyone had managed that, until Tim made one of his rounds of fly-by 
necroposting.

So let's please just leave it there.

Do we read the discussion in the same group?

Ah, you noticed :-) It seems, unfortunately, to be in the nature of an 
unmoderated group.

For those that think there's too much posting, stop posting, don't talk.

It's getting boring and we have to move forward. Rest for a while and 
perhaps come back in 4 weeks time when you might have new ideas.

And the absolute insanity of this thread just continues.

What exactly did I do so wrong that it warrants all this mockery, all this
opposition, people ganging up on me trying to convince that I'm wrong?

And all this why? Because I said that using full English names in
variable names makes code more readable. That's it. There's absolutely
nothing controversial about that statement (and you can find it in
lots of coding guidelines out there), and yet it makes people so mad
that a huge flamewar ensues. And nobody seems to be able to even
explain why.

Why are people acting like this? I cannot understand. It's just
completely insane. It makes absolutely no sense.

You said it yourself in a post above: you are guilty of blasphemy and heresy.
In ideal world you would be sentenced to 6 months of programming in 
idiomatic APL. Unfortunately, the community of c.l.c++ has no power 
to enforce it.

On a little more serious note, English is not a native language for 90-95 
of World's programmers. Many (most) of them understand common abbreviations
at least as well as full English words, but more likely they understand 
abbreviation *better* than full English words.

On a lot more serious, almost philosophical note, this discussion reminds me
a signature of Terje Mathisen.

I asked what I did *so* wrong that it elicited such a barrage of heavy
opposition. You can perfectly well disagree with what I wrote, but that
doesn't really explain the heavy opposition. There's nothing controversial
nor outrageous about what I said (especially because, as stated several
times, this is a very commonly held opinion, as seen by numerous coding
style guidelines out there.)

I didn't think naming conventions in programming is such a holy topic
that any disagreement turns into a war.

Your opinion isn't the issue. The problem is you effectively calling anyone
who disagreed with you an idiot.
