He's not a 'stateless person'. His passport has been revoked, but he remains a US citizen.

With a 'stateless package management system'. That seems to be the gist of the argument.

A better conclusion perhaps would be to distinguish "stateful MVC" from "stateless MVC"?

The core of PHP is a stateless core of API functions. This is incredibly useful for keeping resource usage down.

Since the servers are stateless, you can direct a client request to any host. This kind of handoff is, let's just say, not easy to do when you have stateful TCP connections to maintain.

Since NFS is a stateless protocol, when the server comes back, I/O resumes as if nothing ever happened. This helps make using NFS feel more like using a local filesystem.

Because they are a stateless entity, they are able to break more stories than any news agency, and this year have broken more than all of them combined. But they have done so at great personal sacrifice.

To be clear, we haven't dumped AWS for short running stateless processing. We dynamically spin up spot instances as needed for all our stateless processing using AWS and other cloud services.

So..

That path leads to the hiring of dedicated DBAs, and abstraction of the schema behind stateless layers of PL/SQL in a doomed attempt to get to grips with the complexity of the problem space.

FP is also about frictionless composition of functions, declarative rather than imperative style, use of expressions instead of statements, and very critically, emphasis on statelessness and immutable data. JavaScript is anything but stateless--it is extremely awkward, if not impossible, to avoid mutation in idiomatic JS code.

The machines were pretty much stateless. When you booted a machine you could choose between Windows, Linux, or reset the whole machine. The third one was what you did when the machine acted funny, it would wipe the hard disk and reinstall both OS' from a network image. The whole process was completely automatic and was done in 20 minutes. So it was real hot desking, and it worked great. You sat at any computer, it became your computer. Way before Google started to talk about stateless computers and their chromebook.
