  • How much are SOLID principles in OOP programming (and JVM languages specifically) just a mindless following of a set of ideas that aren't always the best solution?

  • The promise of oop is that if you thread your spaghetti through your meatballs and baste them in bolgnaise sauce before you cook them, it's much simpler and nothing ever gets tangled up, so that when you come to reheat the frozen dish a month later it's very easy to swap out a meatball for a different one.

    It absolutely does not even remotely live up to it's promise, and if it did, no one in their right mind would be recommending an abstract singleton factory, and there wouldn't be quite so many shelves of books about how to do oop well.

  • I have a hard time believing that microservices can possibly be a well designed architecture.

    We take a hard problem like architecture and communication and add to it networking, latency, potential calling protocol inconsistency, encoding and decoding (with more potential inconsistency), race conditions, nondeterminacy and more.

    And what do I get in return? json everywhere? Subteams that don't feel the need to talk to each other? No one ever thinks about architecture ever again?

    I don't see the appeal.

  • Thanks for explaining your position.

    I think we can agree to dislike the oligarchs generally and the power they wield over too much of the planet.

    By where do you stand over Russia? Do you think it's communist? I don't think it's been communist since at least Gorbachev, and it's currently an oligarchy which is about as far removed from communism as you can get, but what's your understanding?

  • I think "liberal" is the opposite of "authoritarian" and "left" is the opposite of "right". America has never really done left wing and the liberals are more lib centre than lib left, whilst the conservatives are auth right. American "centrists" are loony right wing by European standards. Tankies are auth left, so find liberals annoyingly non-left and annoyingly non-auth, which is why they have so much to say against dems, whilst the gop is to a tankie at least auth even if they're annoyingly right wing.

    I will never understand why tankies act like the last 50 years of Russian history including the complete overthrow of communism never happened. It's like they kept the worst bits of the soviet approach, threw out all the good bits and added the worst excesses of uncontrolled capitalism instead.

    As a lib left, I find much to disagree with in all those places, but most strongly with the auth right like trump, putin and their chums.

    I'm very very disappointed with UK Labour trying to fix the housing crisis by deregulating to "free up" the housing industry to remove the housing shortage. It's like trying to fix an active alcoholic by giving them the keys to the liquor cabinet. You'll only fix the housing crisis with a massive program of council house building. Anything else is papering over the cracks. You'll only fix the NHS by bringing social care under the same funding roof and investing massively.

    China gets some things right like massive public investment and very long term planning, but other things wrong like authoritarianism. I'm amused that Trump thought he could outsmart a civilization that's been doing diplomacy for thousands of years and has largely (but definitely not exclusively) been a meriticracy for a very long time.

    Some of the Scandinavian democracies have been the best run countries for a long long time.

    Anyway, I'm sure you'll find plenty to hate on there.

  • I think you two live in different counties and actually agree.

  • From what I've seen, public transit is either expensive and terrible or cheap and good.

    Jump

  • The initial investment can be very expensive, yes, but a good underground system or largely off-road overground system in a city can be profitable from reasonable fares because of the sheer quantity of passengers it can move per hour.

    Once you get to the frequency where you don't look up the timetable before you set off because there'll be one along shortly and you get to the speed where you beat the traffic, you start winning passengers from cars and them everyone has a better commute.

    But if there's only a few per hour and they have to mix in with the traffic, public transport is worse than going by car, so people don't use it en masse, so fares are high and it's not great.

  • Not sure what it is that you arent getting here

    1.9m/170m = 1% per year. That doesn't add up to 0.7% per lifetime. I don't know how you can think that more women get raped per year than get raped per lifetime. It didn't add up, which is why I questioned it.

    Thanks for quoting CDC as your source, which helped. I couldn't find particularly recent data, but the 2016/2017 survey said:

    One in 4 women (26.8% or 33.5 million) in the United States reported completed or attempted rape victimization at some point in her lifetime.

    Two percent (2.3% or about 2.9 million) reported rape victimization in the 12 months before the survey.

    Table 1 quotes 54.3% for lifetime contact sexual violence for women, and 47% unwanted sexual contact. You quoted significantly fewer (480 000) sexual assaults than rapes (1.9 million) which still doesn't add up, no matter how much you swear at me.

    No, a womans real issue with rape and sexually assault happens when she gets home. Fathers, uncles, brothers, husbands, boyfriends, are all in that 90% bracket. So walk the streets ladies, it would seem that you dont have to worry about anything until you get home…

    They're make up the 34% bracket, not the 90% bracket, according to the wikipedia article - see data below.

    Still, doesnt really change the point, doest it? The men that pose the greatest threat to women, are not strangers. I dont know how youre fucking brain works, but strangers = people you dont know. Seeing you explain how the fuck fathers, uncles, brothers, are in the same category as strangers will be a fun fucking read.

    Relationship of victim to rapist before the incident:Current or former intimate partner: 26%Another relative: 7%Friend or acquaintance: 38%Stranger: 26%

    so maybe women should exercise caution going out (38% + 26% = 64%) more than staying in (26% + 7% = 34%).

    Actually, as you can see from my figures, I put the fathers, uncles, brothers in the same category as the intimate partners - the home category.

    I was assuming that family and partners/former partners would be at home and the friends, acquaintances and strangers would be met when they went out. You can take issue with that certainly, but I didn't put her dad in the stranger category.

    Anyway, I think that we can agree that being alone with a man is perhaps where the risk lies for women, whether that's at home or outside.

    Occasionally you make very good points, but you're unnecessarily abusive to people who make even minor corrections, and I get the impression that you don't read your posts or your replies terribly carefully, preferring to shout than check.
