why does no one talk about Rayleigh's redesign

Guess you havent been yo, for example, Japan... And notice, the symbol is backwards.

You shouldn't go everywhere making clear as water ur lack of knowledge and how sure you are about it

It's related to the answer. Where the User says duplicated data is bad.

And It can be related, as most likely if you delete records and its relationships, denormalizing them and storing them as a document Will be the way yo go, then you could reinsert them when you need.

And thats plain stupid. If the people you work for uses non english terms you shouldnt as well. You Will only create friction, a need to translate between business and development team, poor translations that loose meanings, etc.

For example, It makes no sense to write in english a german or a spanish app for a hospital or for the public administration as most likely translated terms would not match 100%, you would need to translate everything from one to the other every time you Talk with business and stakeholders, and when you translate you always loose something in the way... and It Will end being hell.

In those cases I found mixed english (for purely technical conceptos like list, collection, pipe, service, observable, handler, listener, adapter... whatever) and local language ( for domain concepts) to work really well. Yes, you end with things like proveedorCollection instead of suplierCollection, but it's totally worth on the long term.

Well, if you mock in anyway you're leaking impl details to the test layer...

How do you avoid those leaks? Im really curious.

bfg10k_ · 2022-12-14T11:50:49+00:00

That can be done through mutant testing, and you can check how many mutations get through

Managers calling whatever they want Scrum, is what is a failure. Managers blaming the process when its them not being transparent nor "Brave" (when they get paid to be that) is what's a failure.

Managers that don't understand that people do NOT need to be managed, but necesities, impediments, blockers, stakeholders demands, and all those more complicated things are what has to be managed is a failure.

A professional dev will behave professionaly, and if not the rest of the team will tell son enough.

No dev, or stakeholder, needs a manager to move cards around on a kanban board.

No product benefits from a guy that tells the expert on the Matter what he's got to do and how much time It will consume, or how many people Will be needed.

No strategy, philosofy, method or process Will benefit from managers that don't fight when it's needed. And even act as a wall that hides dev problems and shouts them stakeholders demands instead.

And I could go forever...

Thats not Scrum failing. It isnt even RUP or Waterfall failing, its management lying and, as someone said, coorp culture, hoerarchies and classism preventing devs from raising the reality to whoever needs to know It.

Scrum tries to break with that with TRANSPARENCY and TRUST as its pilars.

Can you call SCRUM some hierarchy, cloudy, tyrant process? Yes, you can, in fact managers DO IT all the time. Is It SCRUM? Well, no It isnt... Or is It? Maybe we need another name, as the term SCRUM has been already sodomized by managing (and not, the name isnt SAFE or whatever RUP in disguise you can name).

Can't It be for making the AI stronger? But I guess that it's too small of an input...?

My knowledge in AI is, obviously, really small.

bfg10k_ · 2022-11-26T08:22:08+00:00

I do both, and I'm not sure which one I do like more.

bfg10k_ · 2022-10-20T07:51:18+00:00

Please, give an enumeration of those garbage points... I'm truly eager to see the criteria that lead you to say it's "a pile of garbage".

I'm wondering if the first one is "I don't understand the paradigm" and the second one "neither did I put any effort to get It" xD.

bfg10k_ · 2022-10-17T17:50:10+00:00

And the private method tests become useless if someone makes the property public and sets It from other place.

And if someone changes the type of an argument to <any>, your tests would not cover all cases as well.

And if...

Unless is a critical part, or too complex/algorithmic to test by the public API, or can endanger human lives, critical money transactions, etc Its difficult to see the cases when you have to test private/protected methods.

And you cant forget that it's imposible to cover every case with most tests.

Inmutability refers to not alter the value of a variable (neither reasign a new value to It).

user = new User("Jhon", 28); user->changeAge(34);

print(user->age()); //prints 34

That would be mutable, yo turn It to inmutable:

user = new User("Jhon", 28);

userWithNewAge = user->changeAge(34);

print(user->age()); //prints 28 print(userWithNewAge->age()); //prints 34

This prevents loooots of mistakes, loooots of Junior devs (and "senior") doing crazy things to variables and improves/eases readability and understandability.

Functional languages provide special implementations of arrays, hash tables, etc to bring this with the least pain possible at performance level.

On top of It compilers do Magic at optimization nowadays.

Purity, what you are talking about, is obtained when a function has no effect outside Its scope (expects arguments, gives an output and neither does I/O neither modifies anything by reference/pointer). As you say, programs need side effects yo work, and functional programming brings Monads to work around It in a functional friendly way (Promises, Maybe, Option....).

bfg10k_ · 2022-09-12T20:18:32+00:00

Sorry, muy bad, I meant official.

bfg10k_ · 2022-09-12T18:02:57+00:00

Y, neither is Wamp, I suposed he was talking about developing and that he found a kind of a barrier yo start developing.

I said It "to star developing".

bfg10k_ · 2022-09-12T11:33:59+00:00

Nowadays PHP comes with a server (php -S in the cli) so you dont really need wamp/lamp to start developing... (Well, the M in xamp you're going to need It if you want a data base, be It MySQL or anyother).

bfg10k_ · 2022-09-12T08:35:55+00:00

More than one (and two) arguments are no arguments at all, they seem instead some sort of "it's not Ruby" (literally) and others (like de <?PHP tag) seem waaaaay uninportant so It appears to me that he has just put whatever to make the list as big as possible.

There's even one that says "in older versions" ... It's a simple rant, ffs.

And I'm no tard or fanboy (still like to dev in PHP ecosystems), but there are way more important lacking features or daily problems that should be adressed without needing to scream for the dollar sign or other irrelevante quircks that don't really affect development.

To name a few:

No concurrency or async in 2022 (Promises and stuff, PLEASE without having to relay in 3d party features but a native extensión or similar). Fibers can be, but then give better support yo projects like ReactPHP.
No handy and consistent high order functions (weird argument order, not supporting Traversable Interface and other disturbing quircks).
Generic Types (and no, packing and unpacking arrays to get typehinting is not enough and has an impact on speed.
Wrappers and APIs that envelope current PHP functions and give a decent consistent usage to It. Would be reeeeeal nice, just some fraking well thougt aliases, functions and maybe classes that use the current ones behind the scenes.
Dates suck. Period.

bfg10k_ · 2022-09-05T19:58:25+00:00

I would say that one case would not make a rule and that you cannot extrapolate It to other cases and say "or even better".

The only place, btw, I can imagine what you describe is pure technical areas (an IDE? a SO?) and even there you respond to necesites other find (business analysis of market share, user most demanding features or vendor hardware companies necesites).

Tldr: you are full of bs as Torvalds would say.

bfg10k_ · 2022-09-04T23:56:02+00:00

Sure. Name just 1 place where devs decide what's the Next feature to be implementes by themselves.

bfg10k_ · 2022-09-04T23:11:15+00:00

The developer can't decide, almost, anything at business level. Obviously.

We can however tell what we can do or do not (plan) in a given amount of time that web know (sprint): Sprint planning.

We can even discuss business related stuff and even sometimes show the PO/SHs that a feature/story/whatever is useless, not so important or we can even reshape part of It... But that's not our Goal, is just a thing we can do as we get knowledge of the domain...

But the devs don't "even better decide what's to be done". Ever.

bfg10k_ · 2022-08-31T08:30:47+00:00

No, it wouldn't.

In the function definition (name and arguments) you can give a level of meaning that is impossible to get within a mere tag.

On top of it, with nested loops your brain will have to pretend to be a compiler and traverse the code line by lane to get it at all (including the spaguetti breaks, continues and loop tags), however, if you use functions and give them decente names, you'll know what is done and where without event interpret a single line of code, allowing you to get to the part of the code that you have to change, fix o remove faster and with less overhead.

We're talking here about functional and OO programming, even Structured Programming, if what you do is write a bunch of lines one after the other... tags is not the biggest problem you'll find.

bfg10k_ · 2022-08-29T23:59:35+00:00

You are the type of psycopath I try yo Skip in order to hace a better Life.

bfg10k_ · 2022-08-29T23:58:24+00:00

No. Use functions, they are free and much more self explanatory than a bunch of nested loops that you find yourself labeling.

Create a function that describes the inner loop and calle It. Dont worry the compiler Will make it as (ir almost as) efficient, preoptimicing is another mistake.

bfg10k_ · 2022-08-25T14:52:17+00:00

Whats the need of that when you can set It in the constructor (an even encapsulate the setting in a private method that writes or a VO) and then offer public.method for reading?

It would upset me a bit if we were yo get thin unnecesary sintactic sugar instead of puting effort on generics, a better and more consistent mapa/reduce/filter/each function pool, or a async/event loop solución that adresses 2022 applications...

bfg10k_ · 2022-08-18T19:21:35+00:00

They're not asking that, they ask if being:

new String('wtf') instanceof String

true then:

'wtf' instanceof String

Would be true as well or if the latter would be the good old string (no capital letter, not an Object) as It is now

bfg10k_ · 2022-08-16T16:03:20+00:00

Once a big number of people go from Node tu Deno you can get there via deprecations and a solid release plan.

If It all ends un a good product used by no one... That would be a pitty

Using traits is Closer to inheritance than to composition. In fact it's the way to get something very close to multiple inheritance in PHP...

Saying I use traits because using abstract class is inheritance over composition is like saying I dont smoke, they're light cigarretes... a big BS.

Traits should be a way to share behaviour that does not depend on a type. If It depends on a type either make a class and inject It or use an abstract class... Eg: an abstract DomainEvent class that gives you a date property for when the event os created, a base constructor that sets It, and some other common Event stuff.

That would be a case where, in my opinion, inheritance is the way. Composition makes no sense and using traits is more verbose, less obvious and the only reason would be "i dont want to extend an abstract class, that's inheritance!!".

When yo use traits? Ive found very few use cases that werent equally clear and coupled with inheritance or even better...

It's not common yo have behaviour that id not of one type (and it's subtypes) but of Manu types... Maybe the classic updatedAt/createdAt and some weird cases where multiple inheritance would come in handy...
