I taught #inheritance and #polymorphism in my #programming II class today. We created classes which simulate a simple (and legally distinct) game called "Kotomorio" where you roll up things to get bigger.
One of my students pointed out that google translate rendered that as "Kitten Forest" so the game changed to rolling up various kinds of kittens. Simple for now, but we'll expand it more on Friday.

Динамический полиморфизм для свободных функций: еще одна практика из С++ для машинного обучения
Привет, Хабр! Я Кирилл Колодяжный, разработчик систем хранения данных в YADRO и ML-энтузиаст. Продолжаю рассказывать о паттернах С++, которые легко адаптировать под задачи машинного обучения. В этой части поговорим о динамическом полиморфизме — технологии, которая помогает объединить интерфейс для запуска вычислений с разными условиями. Ссылку на первую часть найдете в конце статьи.

Confessions of a Software Developer: No More Self-Censorship
I haven't published since April because I've been afraid. I also avoided social media, news aggregators, and discussion forums for months. I'm done letting fear stop me. What was I afraid of? In this post I detail every single thing I've avoided admitting on this blog. […]https://kerrick.blog/articles/2025/confessions-of-a-software-developer-no-more-self-censorship/
#Beetle #Harmonia #axyridis is native to Asia, but due to its use for pest control, it established #worldwide. It is known for its high number of #color/#pattern forms, partly due to a #genetically based #polymorphism. There is seemingly genetic variability in some morphs, and colors in an individual can change slightly during its life. D. Lemic et al. (2021) used #geometricmorphometrics to detect morph #plasticity.

TBF, it's C++ that invented it's own naming.
What we (usually) call #polymorphism in c++ in programming languages development is usually called "ad hoc polymorphism".
"template functions" are basically "polymorphic functions" or it's a "parametric polymorphism",
"template classes" are "polymorphic types".
What the compiler does when "instantiating a template" is "monomorphization".
This isn't just #rust-lingo.
I'm saying all of this mostly as C++ dev
Analysis of distributions, extinction risk, and population trends of all extant bird species finds that "Species with body color polymorphism showed larger distributional ranges, larger environmental ranges, lower risk of extinction, and more stable population trends."
