If your considering writing your application in something like C, C++, Rust or Go, then I would these days consider wrapping it in a Flutter / Dart CLI that consumed it via FFI. Reach out if you want to discuss.

What I find interesting is the cultural reaction of the USA compared to others. Others see UFOs as phenomena to be observed and investigated, while the USA sees them as threats to national security.

Does Standard Notes require a network connection to store data, or is data stored locally and synced when a network connection is available? I wonder how important (offline) local first storage of data is these days to users of these types

I think that Java is more like “concrete” than dirt. Fairly gray, unexciting and utilitarian, but nevertheless much of the world is reliably built on it.

My thoughts are that programming is easy. After all an average 8 year old can do it. What is hard is modeling large, complex problems and systems in code, that meets its functional and non-functional requirements. The superior “programmer

This isn’t a Hollywood movie. Another country is actually considered to be the expert in such matters.

The classic use case for generics is when creating Abstract Data Types. Implementing stacks, queues, dynamic arrays etc of differing Types is made relatively simple using generics.

Surely a radical viewpoint against the (current) state of the art in software architecture? Why swim against a tide of industry “best practice” that says ... ... Lets make our application into many communicating distributed applications. Wh

An interesting decision. What have you learned since doing so?

The end of the 1940s gave us the subroutine. A means through which one could encapsulate some functionality into a named construct that could be called (reused) throughout a program. It’s a construct available for a programmer to use. DRY

A viewpoint that complex systems that need to be modeled into code can all be reduced to a formal (mathematical) construct of a programming type system. I contend that the majority of complex software systems are not transformative proces

Thank you so much for sharing this. My first thoughts were that you dove into what you could control. Those aspects of the product related to non-functional requirements. However, it’s really the functional requirements that primarily count

Congratulations on the release! My experience is that most supposed implementations of DDD are problematic because the focus is on the infrastructure, plumbing and implementation, rather than on the real challenge which is modeling a comple

I wonder whether software ends up being complex, because the building blocks used by most programmers are simply insufficient to model complex systems. Those building blocks are procedures, subroutines, control statements and modules/s

Well it’s come full circle for me. 40 years ago I started as a professional programmer. The big issue at the time was how to represent business logic, other than as stored procedures.

Thanks for the great response! I may be wrong, but it seems your design architecture is similar to “structured design”. Where you model data, and alongside that the transformations to be performed on that data. Traditionally this might have

Many thanks for that. Very thought provoking. > through expansion "horseback formal methods" I haven’t heard this terminology before. Any references you can recommend to learn more?

> “Logical soundness must come first. This cannot be done without math.” I’ve long had this (mistaken?) belief that formal methods and mathermatics do not primarily apply to the areas of computing I’m involved with. I am involved with bu

> When you use an interface, you are a user. It’s an interesting perspective. I guess by extension, that the use of a programming language, makes the programmer a user of the resultant program, and the language a “user interface”?

I don’t really agree with the premise. The core logic of a program can (optionally) interact with humans and/or other systems. With neither, one is left with a “run to completion” program that typically transforms its OS supplied input

As with most thing there is a problem of scale. Representing a simple recipe as a process may work, but try modeling an increasingly complex system (say your simple local football players tracking system, to something more extreme like a pa

Peter Coad did write a number of books, which are pretty old and likely out of print. How to actually model a complex system into an object oriented domain model, is something I have long thought to teach. However, sadly there seems little

To me, a software architecture is an implementation of the decisions made (amongst competing choices) in meeting its requirements , both functional and non-functional. I simply don't find the article to provide a grand unified theory

I think the commenter generally views things as code acting on entities. If so, that code is suited to being called an xxxManager, or xxxService, or xxxCoordinator, or xxxController. Of course we have returned to a place in history by doing

Can you please describe what “local first” is, and the implications of it in regards to a separate app?

Actually it is rather more important to Christianity. Jesus as the Messiah is predicated on his lineage from King David. This is why the New Testament commences with proving Jesus's direct lineage from King David. Without it, Jesus

In the United Kingdom, "Parliament is supreme, and cannot be bound by previous Parliaments". The Queen and her ceremonial roles and duties exist because it is the will of the people. Those can be removed by an Act of Parliament. T
