I thought that we would see a world where we would increasingly "mash-up" a solution using different services accessible through APIs. One where service and data providers would provide a programmable interface to their functiona

Unfortunately "design patterns" for most, means technical programming language patterns, rather than the patterns found in "problem domains" outside of computing that can be repeatedly and predictably modeled into code.

Does JavaScript have some special definitions for delegation and dynamic dispatch ? The definitions provided in the article appear to particularly relate them to inheritance - which is not the traditional definition applied to either ter

What's really weird is that I was going to say watching ships in big seas, only to find your response as the first answer! Quite spooky.

Can one run the new version alongside a previous version? I need to access occasionally extensions unsupported in the new version: namely Scrapbook and the extension that provides maff file support.

Isn't that evident from the article? Stop pushing Earth's ecosystems to their breaking point. Find some sustainable way to achieve human existence and prosperity without just gobbling up all the world's natural resources. Sto

I too found the article fascinating, along with your comment. My reaction is that in your openness, you exhibit a bravery and presence of mind that I admire.

Interesting perspective that Facebook perhaps encouraged the demise in popularity of Second Life. While Facebook is more based on reality, much of it imaginary nevertheless. It is full of stylized and posed selective personal photos and e

Interesting. Immediately reminds me of him talking about how we can be stuck in our current way of thinking, and that I need to challenge my own viewpoint.

Extremely thought provoking. One bit I didn't understand was his description of a sequence of UNIX programs communicating using pipes as being concurrent?

Frameworks elevated the need for getters and setters, given the need to programmatically access the internals of objects. Their overuse is also a consequence of the popularity of a programming style of code acting on data, typically within

I am talking about a domain model of the problem under consideration. That model is the same thing from analysis/design to code. It is independent of technical concerns and plumbing. Independent of a particular interface or mechanism f

Just wanted to say how much I enjoy getting each new chapter. You have an amazingly approachable writing style. Many thanks.

There are some that can walk up to a white-board and (repeatedly and predictably) create a domain object model representing complex business requirements. One directly convertible to code. They can do this because they know a set of higher

In a sense yes, although I suggest that a "business process" is too broad and difficult an abstraction. Better for most [1] systems in industry and commerce to elicit and model sequences of recorded events [2] involving interact

I certainly don't want to underemphasise the huge contribution of Smalltalk. Nevertheless, consider a couple of modern widely-used languages. C++ in terms of object-orientation, is based on Simula, and Java's object model is entir

I'm curious which languages have resulted in which new design paradigms?
380.
by aryehof 9y ago
My thoughts are that we don't really need more languages. Arguably we don't need better ones either, because they aren't the problem in general computing. Instead we need better design paradigms that better let us model c

At issue is that the public at large have lost faith that "good" cops and forces will do anything about "bad" cops, that don't "make the news".

Kudos, but my bias is against feed content selected for me, and towards me deciding what is of interest - which is somewhat at odds with your unique selling point. What led you to decide on a trial followed by paid subscription model?

I'm curious about such a pricing model. Does a paid for version work with it being open-sourced?

Part of the issue is that programming is largely seen today as a process of problem solving using an "agile" hack it 'till it works approach. Quick thinking to put out a fire or implement a quick feature using some new tech

I think this is a good example of what has become standard thinking for much of general programming. That the way to write a complex application is an "agile" approach of hack it 'till it works. The result too often is that s

My guess is that Satoshi's vision wasn't that Bitcoin would start a frenzy of "blockchain technology" endeavors that feature the movement of capital to promoters and investors, and between speculators.
