Splitting a larger function or class into smaller components is not in itself an improvement. Therefore I really dislike quantitative rules like "no more than 200 lines". Simple is better than complex, but splitting an otherwise c

The Single Responsibility Principle is the single most misunderstood design principle. Primarily due to its misleading name, I suspect. A common misunderstanding is that a function or class should "only do one thing". This lead to

The best case is if the current inner circle "convince" him to step down. A new regime could come to some compromise and blame the fiasco on Putin drinking too much vodka. Popular uprisings against Putin would be a bloodbath and c

Surely nobody promised you that sanctions would not have any ill effects on the general population? There is no way to seize Putins war chest directly, so the purpose of the sanctions is to hit him and his power structure indirectly through

The entire purpose of the sanctions is to make life difficult for Russians. Do you find this unfair? Then tell me the alternative. The West have tried appeasing Putin, but clearly he is not going to stop, ever. This very moment the Russians

Coppola is a big name but in no way a safe bet. His output is inconsistent and his biggest hits are 40 years ago. And based on the interview, it seems he has a hard time explaining what the movie is even about, which is no-go for Hollywood.

A cross-origin POST request can be initiated using a HTML form and does send cookies. CORS provides a safer alternative.

If that is the case, then SOP does not restrict anything either, since you can still send cross-origin POST requests under single-origin-policy. I don't think this is a useful way to look at things.

It was not possible to initiate a PUT or DELETE request from browsers until XMLHttpRequest with same-origin-policy was introduced.

You can consider CORS a relaxation on top of SOP (same-origin policy), since CORS allows you to opt-in to certain cross-site requests which are not allowed under SOP. Then again, SOP allows certain requests like 'PUT' and 'DE

It is more complex than that, because certain kinds of cross-site requests has always been allowed. GET and POST requests are allowed, but PUT and DELETE is not. For POST requests you can send the request but not access the result. So CORS
