Dear reader, please hang on a little, cause I'm not sure how to phrase the following ... 🎢
I'm not a fan of the structure-oriented approach of modern computers... 🤢
... I belive that the best way to organize content is to 🔖tag it.
I wonder if, from a representational/computer point of view, a folder has any meaning/consistency whatsoever.
Let me explain/make myself clear :
First I remember reading in "Practical Common Lisp aka Giga Monkeys" that being-a-folder is just some instruction the computer has for the user to see and feel like home. It might even be some typical example of skew morphism. But I digress.
The example given are in the paragraph How Pathnames Represent Filenames in the Files and Files I-O chapter :
"A pathname is a structured object that represents a filename using six components: host, device, directory, name, type, and version. "
So if my memory understanding/intuition is correc, the structure of folders doesn't really exist and is "just a way to present information". Right?
