I don't see this as an argument against framework, I see it as an argument against continued abstraction. Developers seem to be obsessed with solving the N+1 order of abstraction than requested of them. "Why solve the specific cas

The people who argue against code comments seem to have a high chance of overlap with people who submit who huge refactoring patches that don’t do much but add bugs. They will also ask you to write a method for two lines of code that appear

I went through this about a year ago, and while it’s pretty good to start, it pretty quickly ends up as “copy this magic boilerplate” without much more info. It definitely assumes some knowledge of existing graphics APIs and patterns, and d

Assuming you could make a sizable contribution, extra gas would eventually dissipate into space. That said, oxygen is high in potential chemical energy (usually contributes energy to a reaction, hence everything oxidizes), while CO2 is low

I'm shocked to not see divorce mentioned once in the entire article. Millennials are a generation from broken and blended families. It seems to be the norm to have separated parents, an event that is usually traumatic and expensive. Wh

Yeah I don’t know why you would try to write your own textbased format. GSON and Jackson have been around for over a decade in Java, and equivalents in other languages. Unless you are in some perf critical application, a library is almost a

It really needs to be coupled with something else to work. I find that the Pop meditation currently being peddled as a way to boost mood and productivity doesn't really help when the person needs therapy and/or exercise. Talking t

Have you ever seen an atom? Have you ever had access to a Scanning Electron Microscope or equivalently advanced machinery to observe one? If not, you have had to put at least some level of faith in that they do exist.

Classes are nice when used in conjunction with a framework. Most developers realize that the Car that extends Vehicle from CS 101 is a limited pattern that isn’t very useful. And OO languages often force developers to declare classes when t

Union square is really bad. Its full of homeless who harass tourists because they know they tourists are less likely to know how to react. In general the rule is don't engage, and if that doesn't work, keep walking.

I think it's because Japanese and Chinese are nationalities that have been long known by the wider, more xenophbic populace. And they are also used as catchall terms for Asians. For example, the first episode of King of the Hill where

It sounds racist, even if you say it about yourself. Liberal thinkers are worried about depersonalizing via language so they use phrases like "they are X-ese" or "they are an X person". While the phrase "they are a

Using Functional Paradigms in a FP language. Cool! All for that. Bootstrapping pseudo FP styles into a Prototype Language with no types (JS is technically not OO, even `class` is just prototype sugar). Please no. I really like concepts behi

I usually classify Post Modern art as deconstructional art post WWII. It was initially fueled by the ennui of two world wars, and then drifted into cries about consumerism. Either way you get a pretty bleak outlook.

The defining character of impressionists, was their ability to paint in the moment. Prior to this period, mixing paints was difficult, and most art was produced in a studio. Industrialization gave readily mixed paints that lasted. This gave

Art has a long history, and aesthetics have changed over time. Techniques like Chiaroscuro and Contrapposto come and go. Highly developed cultures usually have highly developed art and vice versa. Art is usually a balance of ideas and aesth

Post Modern art is terrible. At least with early modern art (think Vienna Secession or other movements ~100 years ago), most of the artists had classical training and moved into modern art. Now they are just all terrible. The devaluation of

The thing that blew my mind was React gave a decent abstraction for externally set values vs internally managed values in props/state. And then the community immediately declared State as evil, and boiled the ocean to replace it. All U

React started as a nice rendering library. Then it was infected with all sorts of Functional Programming paradigms grafted on top of Javascript. At the same time people wanted React to be a framework for client side rendering, not the thin

For some reason I remember everyone's behavior on old school message boards as much better than modern social media. Sure, you have your degenerate boards, but just don't go there. Moderation and censor ship will always exist, but

Correct. Most villages had one large field surround a few buildings. The split was split up some standard ways. If the village was on a road, the divisions usually fanned out from the road, making the division map look striped. I’d the vill

If both operations are exothermic, why the heat exchanger? I would assume one process would need to be endothermic.

Sweet corn (what we eat) needs to be cooked but is edible raw. Feed corn is tough as nails. Field corn is more starch than sugar and has a much lower moisture content. Almost all corn is field corn, more than 95% of the total crop. You can

From what I hear, Pre Med is the USA is a joke. All it really does is prepare you for the MCAT, and even does that poorly. So all undergrad just becomes a waiting room. I went to high school with a ton of now doctors. My college degree is u

Corn raised for feed is not the same as corn raised for human food. You could probably eat it wafted some form of processing. But judging by our slow response to the pandemic, I doubt we could pivot fast enough before it rotted.
