Good question, thanks. I think I was conflating both -- but I think both apply. The benefit of is-a hierarchies -- perhaps the only big benefit (to be weighed against all the other alternatives available) -- is that it solves for making the

Class hierarchies are easily fragile, easily do not model things correctly over time. The cruft, the lack of DRY as the mapping between what is being modeled and what is represented in the code -- accumulates with class hierarchies for sure

I think curiously what this would encourage is a slower way of thinking. I.e., not quick comments, but longer, more thoughtful ones. I don't comment much, but when I do think back on the comments I have made that have been somewhat pop

The introvert's dilemma. Because while I exactly agree (and while that's always cool with Paul B!), I think ESR factored into git indirectly in a way. Provided part of the impetus to want to rewrite things. Think about it: maybe t

You need a law or a bill. And then the protest (and ensuing momentum if companies are incentivized to blackout their sites because it's strongly in their interests) pushes the lever for lawmakers.

Curious background and I admire you for just going for it. Just some curious questions.. a) who are some of your inspirations? b) describe an ideal society without gender disparities. what would that look like?

I think that is an amazing article. From the Theremin to the psychology researcher to the objective presentation of the legal arguments without shying away from any of the details. It's caused me to rethink how conservatism/libera

I was talking to a colleague about how Dwolla implements a similar pay network. I don't know Square's implementation. It varies with different P2P providers. Some create their own 'rails' in the backend (PopMoney, etc.).

I believe having the photos linger after they are no longer relevant or applicable is libel. Even posting the mugshots originally can be construed as libelous. IANAL, but I would hope the technology will adapt (ie sites only publish if the

The article gets it completely wrong. One studies writing as an English major the way one studies programming as a computer science major. That is, the best way to do it is to inspire via other subjects that will enliven the entire career.

The real measure is features shipped. It's pretty hard to disambiguate speed of development, fluidity and flexibility (which potentially increases LOC per commit by bundling multiple 'conceptual pieces') with expressiveness (which decreases

One thing I will say though, ironically, is that this may be actually a good experience for the million or so male and female technology people reading about this. If programming teaches anything, it's that common sense is not something tha

Very good points. Good discussion, thanks. Interesting to think about. And you're right, phishing, breaches of the MFA database, and session jacking (via breaching the session database) are all big problems still. But it's significantly mor
