I just try to be practical and make them protected so they can be called from the test class which lives in the same package. Perhaps adding a @VisibleOnlyForTesting annotation. The reality is that these private functions are building block

Many countries have plurinominal representatives. They are not elected for a geographic district since many groups may not be able to win a single district but they have people all across the country and they represent a fair % of the total

Interestingly the two biggest earthquakes in my memory in Mexico City happened in the same day. Sept 19 1985 and 2017 Every year in Sep 19 there is a city wide simulacro. And then in 2017 an earthquake happened for real.

As a reviewer, this is how I approach it. And it has been catching on my team. - Don't block the commit. Review as soon as possible. - Focus on finding bugs. - Ask questions if you don't understand something. - Sometimes

We don't hate you. Actually we would love to see Russia move forward and Russian people improve their lives. We are great-full that Russia stopped the Nazis in WWII and we don't want to worry about having the world blown up. See h

I believe that one of the things that make Texas more affordable is high property taxes. It keeps people from borrowing more money and competing as aggressively on price. So they pay in Taxes what they would be paying in interest. Taxes at

Yes, me too. But, would you still feel the same if you had to stay home to take care of kids and a working spouse ?

This sounds a lot better than the Single Responsibility Principle that is often quoted and IMHO often misunderstood.

That is exactly what the parent comment is saying. $320M makes it worthwhile to do all that for organized crime.

Because Microsoft killed it. Through IE, Microsoft controlled what you could run in the browser and they refused to upgrade the embedded JVM. Java Applets started becoming popular but then they stagnated. Microsoft control was broken when

It didn't happen because Microsoft was able to kill it. See, for a few years MS had a tight control over the browsers and they refused to upgrade the JVM in IE when they lost their infamous lawsuit against Sun. So Java Applets never fl

> Over 15 years though,... Correct. That is why the advice not to start with Microservices. Perhaps later may make sense; but not in the beginning.

Why is this so hard? It should be very easy to fix this. Set the correct version in the pom.xml. Commit and push to master and deploy. right? easy. It should be a half an hour thing. But at my employer, we still have dozens of teams stru

Now I am curious about the background image. And a little disappointed that there is no principle page.

I was never a fan of RUP. But it had the idea of adapting the process to the project. It gave you lots of choices. With Scrum, every project is approached the same way, and no one thinks if it makes sense or not. McConnell´s "Rapid Dev

I am about as old as you. Unless you started at 13. The problem was that projects spent months doing analysis and design and never ship everything. Also agile recognizes that you don have all the answers at the beginning; you need to experi

My only worry is that a lot of that money goes to housing. Rents go up immediately and also house prices. So we need policies to increase housing supply/density in most cities to counter this effect.

Developing countries get to avoid the mistakes done by developed countries. For example, the amount car dependency in the US is unsustainable. Developing countries could build their cities with higher density, walk-able, and bike-able. It i

Thanks James. I have to admit that I struggle with the "No true Scotsman" argument. I think that in the case of Agile, there is a set of principles and values clearly defining what it is. For a project to be Agile it needs to foll

I have been a proponent of Agile approach since the 90s (XP, Tom Gilb, RAD, Lean). But lately, I am really really hating it. People no longer understand what Agile is about. They just follow some Scrum practices and that´s it. I feel disemp

Thanks for the advice. I do try to respect political views. And I think even if I don agree with someone they often have redeeming qualities. I make two exceptions. Trump and Lopez Obrador.
