I just wish people would realize how much waste producing solar cells causes. At least nuclear waste is largely stored on site and uranium isn't mostly supplied by child slavery. It really was our only chance at clean energy.

Yep, Elixir mostly just changed the syntax to something more C like instead of ant turds. Erlang is a beautiful design but the prolog syntax never really caught on.

This author is drinking some serious anti captalist kool-aid. First off both Bannon and Bernie are Leninists. True believers are interchangeable with one another if you believe Eric Hoffer.

I'm still going to read the hell out of all of Uncle Bob's books. Every programmer has his faults and Programming is more of an art than science at this time in history.

The real problem is JQuery isn't modular and it is tightly coupled with your code.

It's really good for encapsulation and you can do services without dependency injection frameworks

Anyone who has watched a nature documentary knows that tribalism is essential for an organism longterm survival. Humans are just imaginative enough to want to transcend nature and reality. To quote Cormac McCarthy, "There's no suc

I think OO when done right looks very much like FP. The problem is that OOP is just as hard as FP to write since most languages that claim to be OO languages are actually heavily procedural in nature.

Yep as someone who is in a cybersecurity job, it's almost trivial to hack Android.

Just about everyone I know on Facebook would jump ship if they could. Not a day goes by that I don't notice someone complaining or leaving over anger at Google and Facebook supporting invading their privacy, promoting extremist politic

I would vote for Trump to prevent Sanders or Zuckerberg from being President. As far as I'm concerned the Democratic party died sometime during Obama's second term when they decided that they didn't need working class people

FP and OOP are compatible styles. In fact, I would argue that FP is more object orientated than procedural code such as loops.

It's definitely a skill that doesn't translate to actual development. Before I was a programmer I was a Navy nuclear power plant operator and they did boards like that. In that situation, it made sense because you needed to be abl

You can even use it for Android and IOS development if you use Flutter which is basically Java swing meets ReactJS but written in Dart which is what Java syntax would look like if it was created today.

The main point of small functions is they tend to be more readable. If they are too small then you get into code golf territory and loss readability. It's a balancing act, you need to follow the Goldilocks principle when writing algori

I haven't done enough with Flutter to really report on it but I like it better than React and Android's API so far. I do feel comfortable enough with Dart to say that it is very familiar and easy to pick up. It's Java syntax

Can testify that other people do limit the tools you can use. I was on a project that I couldn't use even use interfaces, streams, classes, or generics because the other programmer was incapable of understanding how they worked. I even

You think in 2025 we will be talking about children mining by hand in the Congo in horrible conditions to provide all those lithium batteries for that future? There is a price for everything.

I concur. The Android SDK seems to violate SOLID principles and fails to capitalize on OOP at all.
