Note that this is not about if Java was good or bad , which is obviously a question of opinion. This is about if Java was going to be successful : > I've never written a Java program, never more than glanced over reference books

Isn't this the approach the article is recommending against? Prefer composition over inheritance.

Sure, but this choice shouldn't be the concern of the code writing the log message.

This is a general problem with code examples. You want the example to simple enough to easily understand. But many features only really makes sense in larger programs, so in a minimal example they seem overly complicated. You don't wan

A lot of negativity towards no-code in the comments, which I think is misguided. These tools also makes developers lives easier and help us serve the customer better. Sure, when a project react a certain level of complexity, no-code is not

It is a classics to inisist on a simplistic definition which ignores all the history and cultural context of a term, and then no-true-scotsman any objection. Merriam-Webster says: Definition of wine 1a : the alcoholic fermented j

Not if you mix it with water.

by goto11 4y ago
The comment you are replying to talked about the myth that people mixed water and wine to sterilize the water. Wine does not have high enough alcohol content to sterilize water.

Cider is also sometimes called apple wine. You can make wine from basically any fruit or plant which have high enough sugar content.

Cider have a long history in France though. I think it is more of a US thing to discount non-grape wine as novelties.

Cherry wine has been produced in Scandinavia for a long time. It is far from a novelty.

The advice might sound sensible in isolation. But immediately after, Polonus hires a spy to report on Laertes conduct in Paris, and literally instructs the spy to slander Laertes in order to trick people into revealing if these slanders are

Polonius is considered a buffoon because that it how Hamlet sees him, and Hamlet is such a compelling character it is easy to get sucked into his point of view. I like Branaghs Hamlet where Polonius is not played as a fool at all, but rater

A ordinary list expression like [x + 2 | x <- [7, 9, 13]] is not effectful or non-deterministic. It is completely deterministic and have no side effects.

This is a great criticism, even though few will agree with his assertion than Hamlet is an "artistic failure". Instead of considering the play as a fully deliberate creation by Shakespeare, Eliot considers what Shakespeare layers

Operations on a list (like map, filter) are not effectful computations. The problem with many monad explanations is they explain only particular monads. IO and State can be thought of as effectful computations, but List operations cannot. M

This describes some monads but not others. IO and State can be thought of as environments supporting effects, but it doesn't really make sense to think of a List like that. The problem with many monad explanations is they only explain

Imagine if functions were explained the same way: A function is just a mapping from a domain to a codomain. This would also be pretty useless and confusing for someone trying to lean how to write print("hello world")

Since everyone is just writing their own explanation of monads, here is mine: Monads are a pattern for function chaining. It can be compared with fluent interfaces in OOP, which is also a pattern for chaining operations. A fluent interface

The Greek philosopher Euhemerus believed that Gods has originated as humans who was worshiped after their death. So the naturalistic explanations existed, although I don't know how widely accepted they were.

The final point about positivism is important. Geeks love naturalistic explanations of mythological ideas, however far fetched. Trolls are really cultural memory of Neanderthals. Dragons are dinosaurs. The witch craze was due to ergot poiso
