“A friend who’s spent decades as an auto mechanic recently confided that he’s grateful to be nearing retirement. “These Teslas,” he told me, “they’re not even cars anymore – they’re computers on wheels. When something goes wrong, you don’t fix⟳ it; you just replace⟳ entire modules.” What was once a craft that any dedicated person could learn⟳ has become⟳ an exercise in supervised dependency.”

“Class modules are similar to form⟳ modules except they do not have⟳ a visible interface (GUI).”

“When there is more than one protected module in memory, the rules for accessing the code and data sections of a given module treat⟳ all the other modules as if they were unprotected memory.”

“Which modules are you studying next year?”

“Dragonborn […] first appeared in the Dragons of Despair module (1984) for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons as “dragonmen.””

“Modules over a ring⟳ are a generalization of abelian groups (which are modules over #92;textstyle#92;mathbb#123;Z#125;).”

“Approximately forty-five years ago K. Morita presented the first major results on equivalences and dualities between categories of modules over a pair of rings.”

“One defines in like⟳ manner right K-modules and two-sided K-modules. If K is commutative, then every left K-module is automatically equipped with the structure⟳ of right and a two-sided K-module.”
