This is a documented Zend Framework thing, so personally I wouldn't call it "contrived", "dumb" or "weird". http://till.typepad.com/blog/2008/10/zendframework-performan... > Removing require_once in favour of __autoload shows

Your criticism of autoloading comes as a surprise. During 2012 one of my colleagues squeezed a little extra performance out of our software by removing all the calls to require_once from our installation of Zend Framework, thus handing full

I can totally sympathise with the slightly angry tone of this reply, as my post was in a similar vein so I kind of had it coming. You're correct in that this was kind of just a cheap shot and I agree that the community is at least heading i

Sorry about this grumbling old man comment. I was bored and tired and I was meaning to delete it, but it has replies and stuff now so it seems a bit too sneaky. Something about HN brings out the angry jerk in me sometimes. My bad, though.

Correct. It used to say "This 16 year old from Slovakia has a better sales page than you". I think somebody posted it because they thought it was well executed and wanted HN to see it, but the title change makes it look like the creator of

Couldn't agree more. If the behaviour or outcome of a function depends on the current time, then the current time is an input to that function. Inputs to functions should be declared explicitly as arguments where possible. The existence of

Testability isn't the only good thing about dependency injection. It's much easier to reason about OO code when objects only tend to interact with objects that they have been explicitly given. Too much willingness to introduce static depend

How fitting that one of the links you've posted is unavailable at the moment due to the very downtime that caused this discussion! Evidence of our over-reliance on GitHub in the open source community, perhaps.

Damn, that is kind of spooky actually. I can't keep track of all the similarities... The layout of the project's directory structure, the TravisCI image placement, the README style... I don't know, all I can say is you have excellent taste!

It uses git, so you can keep your address book on as many different computers as you want and use commands such as "git push" and "git pull" to handle the synchronisation. There are no built in "ppl push" commands or anything like that at t

I thought about this a bit. I considered using C, but decided against it in the end. C lost out because I wanted to use this project as an opportunity to try out full-on TDD, and C's automated testing tools seemed like a pain. I also wanted

Yeah I customised flatstrap (colors and fonts mainly). 2.css is part of the little CSS build process I came up with for this site. There are a bunch of LESS files in a directory ( https://github.com/h2s/ppladdressbook.org/tree/master/_style

You have described exactly the two things about abook that have always put me off using it and drove me to build this. The ncurses UI works well but isn't what I want, and the "Yet Another File Format" addressbook format isn't very interope

Nope, not yet. But it's easy to add and will be in there soon enough. In fact it's already listed in the roadmap at http://ppladdressbook.org/development/roadmap/ !

Nobody's reported this one yet! There's a bug tracker at https://github.com/h2s/ppl/issues/new if you're feeling generous with your time. I could do with knowing what command you're running, what version of Ruby you're on, and whether you

Agreed, and this shouldn't be too difficult to do either. Watch this space: https://github.com/h2s/ppl/tree/mutt

Very cool idea. It would probably be 100x more useful if it was easy to sync with other address books, I think I agree with you there. Perhaps this should be a priority. And any help you can give would be most welcome. I think the reason I

This has been my side project for the last month or so. It's a "scratch your own itch" type of deal, because I wanted a CLI address book and there didn't seem to be one. I tried really hard to find an existing one, but I'd be interested to

I wonder about this sometimes. Every laptop I've owned in the last ten years has had this problem to some extent with Linux. It's not just a heat issue, either. Using enough energy to generate all that heat means the battery never lasts ver

Nah I didn't think that at all, it was clear from the way you said "minimal commenting". I just have an axe to grind when it comes to comments of the form // assign the integer value 10 to the variable x x = 10

by h2s 14y ago
I can't agree with you emphatically enough about this. Cargo cult commenting is one of the easiest ways to damage the readability of a codebase. Comments should be an edge-case solution for explaining unusual quirks, not the go-to approach
