If you look at it objectively. There's a very clear reason why OOP inevitably fails. Maybe a better way to put it is that SOLID is an ideal that OOP aspires to be but fails. Either way SOLID is a bad set of axiomatic design principles.

There's a style of programming with no concept of loops or jumps. It's called functional programming. There's other styles that are drastically different as well. Most of these styles aren't new though.

I feel that SOLID doesn't even work well with OOP. Overall it's just saying "be more modular" in a programming paradigm that's one of the least modular styles ever created.

I disagree with Martin very much. Programs can be made easy to change without introducing complex OOP abstractions. There is a simple rule that Martin fails to ever mention. Use combinators as much as possible and segregate as much logic as

SOLID is just a random arbitrary acronym about some principles that are somewhat obvious. However most people don't fully understand these principles deeply. What happens is if you are using OOP you are not using SOLID to its full exte

You deploy to the cloud. The customer downloads a web page and that functions as a client that communicates with the python server. Just like how most programming is nowadays. But if you want a customer to download an app, which is much mor

I think the government itself should record all trials not for public release but for archival, evidence and review. How else do you being down a racist or corrupt judge?

The effort required for this makes it not worth it. If I want a library in python it takes about a second to install with one command, and these libraries tend to be safe so you're not going to get any resistance if you want to try out

I do have experience. It's my main language and my current job. C++ really sucks to work with for a developer even with types. For building cloud services where apps are bottlenecked by the database, the user experience is roughly the

No it doesn't... but it's far less likely to occur. Web development practices usually avoid this problem as state is handled externally.

Nah it's a big unicorn startup down in Irvine, so the codebase is still relatively new. They use C++17 so pretty modern as well.

1. No, I don't disregard analogies, I'm just able to recognize and isolate analogies from a topic or a point. For learning, I agree an analogy is very useful. Analogies are tools for illustration, not for proving a point. To use a

You want to encode as much context into the name as possible without breaking abstraction. Meaning that the definition of the function should not be part of the name. Only the API of the function and context should be encoded into the name.

by nendroid 6y ago
Careful. Analogies are a common form of deception. Used often in religious speeches, political speeches, blog posts and more. The speaker offers zero substantial information yet manipulates the audience into feeling the speech was "goo

A baby can crawl in random directions. Of course I'll protect him from crawling off a ledge. But when he has the capacity to understand and judge I coddle as little as possible and expose as much possible. 5-6 is around the right time.

Scientists can't prove anything. They can only make statistical correlations and establish causation to a degree. When I use the word "prove" i don't mean like proving things in math. Nobody means this, it's obvious

Doesn't make sense because kids today are exactly the same as kids in the past. This is science and its about research that the scientist did to prove something.
