Uber won by ignoring laws that were put in place, and then crying to the public whenever they got in trouble for it.

We could ask Claude to generate the schematics for a quantum computer that can find the prime factors of 21. Then we get the best of both worlds.

> The rule is that you can't cache a value in an interface, because interfaces don't store data. Right, but the start of where I jumped into this thread was about the fact that there are places where fields would make things be

by RHSeeger 1y ago
But part of the goal is to not need the caller to cache it. Nor have the class that knows how to fetch it need to know how to cache it either. The responsibility of knowing how to cache the value is (desired to be) in the MetadataSource int

I don't see how that solves the problem. It seems like Video will need to keep it's own copy of CachedMetadaSource, which points back to itself, and go through that access it's metadata in the getMetadata implementation it ma

by RHSeeger 1y ago
When you call myImageInstance.fetchMetadata, what does it do? I don't know rust, so it's not clear to me how the value gets cached.

I've seen such difficult to follow code in Java, and I complain about it every time. But having multiple inheritance isn't the cause (because Java doesn't have that). Nor does having multiple interfaces with default implement

From a very modified version of something I was working on recently, but with the stuff I couldn't do actually done here (and non-functionality code because of that, but is shows the idea) public interface MetadataSource {

> Even if they do, what happens when both classes implement a method or field with the same name? It's done in Java with interfaces with default implementations, and the world hasn't imploded. It just doesn't seem like th

by RHSeeger 1y ago
Making the class add 2 methods and a field for every place the interface would define a field adds noise. And if you have a class with 20 interfaces, that can be a lot of noise. When you consider that the class itself doesn't actually

But then you have the getters, setters, and field on every class that implements the functionality. It works, sure, it just feels off to me. This is code that will be the same everywhere, and you're pulling it out of the common class a

by RHSeeger 1y ago
But if there's a lot of classes that implement the same thing, then not duplicating code makes sense. And saying "it's an implementation detail" leads to having the same code in a bunch of different classes. It feels ver

> First, traits don't define any fields. How does one handle cases where fields are useful? For example, imagine you have a functionality to go fetch a value and then cache it so that future calls to get that functionality are not r

I know his reasoning for it, I just disagree with him. People added JSON parsers that allow comments and can _still_ get tricky with them. The only thing the standard not adding them did was make sure we can't rely on them being there.

> No comments There are a large number of people that consider that _not_ a benefit.

Static typing provides different benefits to strong typing. Both are useful in their own ways. And both can get in the way (and not be worth it) in some cases.

Most of the well thought out writeups on types that I've seen put them on two different scales - Strong vs Weak - how does the language convert between types - Static vs Dynamic - Does type information apply "early" or "
