> instead there were factories and visitors and repositories and facades and I couldn't tell you what else this guy was thinking.

Factories: generate objects whose type can freely change. See polymorphism.

Visitors: create any operation you'd like to implement without having to change a type. See open/close principle.

Repositories: separate SQL voodoo from your code and establish a dedicated component to handle database transactions.

Façade: isolate the world from all the gory detail in a manner that you are free to change both the component and its clients. See separation of concerns.

I find it more worrying that the code developed by a senior developer was dumped just because the junior developer who replaced him was entirely clueless and not obly unable to understand existing codebut also unable to even grasp basic design problems that justify the senior developer's decision.

In .net, you have to decide what optional library you are going to use to make up for an extremely lacking standard library. Sometimes what you need simply isn’t easy to find and you are stuck rolling your own (e.g. head and last operations on tree sets). The JCL is very complete in comparison.

For UI, WPF is pretty good, and .net wasn’t meant to be cross platform anyways.
First off: Thanks for showing interest in the post. To counter the weak plastic i vested in a MIG weld and the aluminum profiles seen at the last photo of the post. My intention for the next part will be constructing this support. Finding wheels have proven expensive (but not impossible), and as late as yesterday i was given 2 go kart tires that will become the rear tire set. I was also hoping people interested in this post could suggest other wheels that both are functional and look good. Even though i searched for a few weeks, i am sure i have not turned ever stone possible.

Sorry, humour bypass on my end. But yes, this is a bad blog post.
Smaller city in the Southeast, but I explain it to entrepreneurs I consult with as "Assume no one is going to give you any funding and tell me what your development plan looks like." Most people are dead in the water right there and someone needs to be honest and tell them to move, find another idea or find different people to collaborate with.

Speaking truth to entrepreneurs is not a welcome activity when entrepreneurialism becomes more of a religion than an economic alternative to employment.

it starts like this: the teacher says

"Billy is having a lot of trouble sitting still and paying attention. I think he might have ADHD. A lot of the other boys do and they've really improved since they started taking medicine for it."

Now since the teacher got compliance from other parents your kid is not given much slack. A solution has been presented and you choose to take it or not.

"Billy is still fidgeting in his chair all morning and lunch time is pushed back to 1:30pm this year because of staffing issues."

"Billy is struggling with math. We do it every day at 12 and I think he's just worn out from fidgeting in his seat all morning. And you know on wednesday he started acting out and being loud."

"I really think Billy has potential to do better. I hope you'll reconsider having him seen by someone to address his hyperactivity."

Here's a real question -- even if they're less nutritious individually, are we still able to get more nutrition than ever before?

The variety of fruits and vegetables I'm able to eat during the winter is frankly astounding. Heck, even the variety during the summer is a cornucopia compared to 30 years ago (the local supermarket certainly didn't carry kale or swiss chard back then).

If I'm more easily to get whole different sets of nutrients than before, is it a net win?

> I get your sentiment. I can say Adderall has helped me so much that I could get teary eyed. But thats only because I am too lazy and lack the willpower to discipline myself naturally.

Have you been diagnosed with ADHD? Do you even believe in ADHD? Your post seems to contain a lot of self-hatred, which is sad to read. As someone diagnosed at the age of 31 I have had a lot of time to reflect on my childhood and early experiences, and despite managing and in many ways thriving, medication earlier on would have made a lot of subtle differences that would have made things much easier over the course of my adult life.

Depends.

The core of the canon is still essentially the same as described by Athanasius[1]. He had the following to say about the apocryphal/deuterocanonical books:

there are other books besides these not indeed included in the Canon, but appointed by the Fathers to be read by those who newly join us, and who wish for instruction in the word of godliness

Consensus changed, and the books were incorporated into the proper canon. Centuries later, Martin Luther thought the church to be corrupt and its traditions no longer trustworthy; he argued that doctrine should be re-derived from Scripture alone. Given that the canon was itself a product of said tradition, he re-examined it and came to the conclusion that the deuterocanonical books shouldn't be considered capital-S Scripture. Fewer people are aware that he had similar misgivings about parts of the New Testament as well (Hebrews, James, Jude and Revelation).

Exactly. Personally I'm following the same steps with a blogging platform I'm building [0], but avoiding that third step in it and my future products, and it's working out so far.

A lot of it comes down to financial incentives, and I think VC-backed products are going to go head-first into step 3 without thinking, and then we all suffer. If there were more small, grow-slow products (probably bootstrapped) that based success on delivering a nice product that never goes to shit (instead of constantly conquering the world), we might have less of this cycle.

From Concurrent to Parallel, by Brian Goetz
This isn't how human society works. If you don't want to live in a world where individuals with considerably more ambition and intelligence than you who have built industries and consolidated empires and have been rewarded for doing so, get off your computer built by people who accumulated wealth and funded by people with wealth built from other inventions built and funded by wealthy individuals before that and return to the jungle to lick flies and learn what actual poverty is before you get eaten by something.

In human history, when people like you attempt to force wealthy individuals to hand over their wealth, the country stagnates, and the ambition and intelligence move to other nations that have better social systems built by ambitious men, and the nation gradually rises.

Finally, why do you think "the people" or the government is an efficient instrument for ensuring charitable interests are met? That's really silly

The quality of Scientific American has dropped off significantly in the past 20 years, but this article is astonishingly bad:

* Vegetables are lower in nutrients than in the 1950's.

* Here is some serious academic research that shows that.

* It indicates that the cause is the breeding and cultivation of varieties which are lower in nutritional content by farmers.

* But I will assert absent any evidence, soil depletion.

WTF, Scientific American?

Legalstart | Full-stack Software Engineer | Paris, France | Full-time, Onsite, Visa, https://legalstart.fr Python/Django Rest Framework, React, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Docker, AWS

Based in Paris, Legalstart is a leader in the European legal-tech space that aims at revolutionising legal services, starting with making access to justice greatly easier, especially for businesses creators.

Since the launch of the site at the beginning of 2014, Legalstart has experienced a very strong growth. In this context, we are looking for highly motivated developers to help us extend our product base and grow internationally.

At Legalstart, we strive to improve our technical skills, that means challenging the status quo (we shipped a small blockchain-based product in production), continuously improving our practices (we introduced Haskell in our codebase for algorithms prototyping), staying close to the local community (hosting meetups, conferences)… Also, Legalstart engineers develop a strong ownership of the product itself, and we really value their personal growth.

Apply there if you feel up to the experience!

It's interesting you bring up Thiel with regards to Google. I haven't ever seen anyone so willing to slam their top leadership directly and on television. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Q26XIKtwXQ&t=35s

It's not clear at all that Google will be safer from anti-trust investigation now that Thiel has political influence either:

> “Peter has indicated that if he takes the P.I.A.B. position he intends to take a comprehensive look at the U.S. intelligence community’s information-technology architecture. He is super-concerned about Amazon and Google”—and Facebook, less so. “He feels they have become New Age global fascists in terms of how they’re controlling the media, how they’re controlling information flows to the public, even how they’re purging people from think tanks. He’s concerned about the monopolistic tendencies of [all three] companies and how they deny economic well-being to people they disagree with.” When I asked this source how likely it is that Thiel will assume the post, he answered, “He’s heavily leaning toward it. He feels there’s a lot of good he can do and it’s worth putting up with all the bullshit and scrutiny that will accompany his appointment.”

> The two languages have nothing in common beyond both being functional,

That's good enough for most people. From experience switching quickly between the two paradigms takes a bit longer than staying with the same one. That is once think about reducers, closures, immutable data it's easier to stay in that mindset then going back to mutable objects and attributes.

> Turkey is far from perfect

And getting further from that sweet spot every day. Your president and his children quite openly supported ISIS and heavily profited from it. There are tons of proofs out there. Rest doesn't matter - he is evil, shakes hands with evil, profits from it and supports it. How many billions of $$ (that he stole from Turkish citizens like yourself) do you think he holds in amoral tax havens around the globe? You might not have enough fingers to represent it.

I can't change politics of EU nor my own country, but I'll vote with my money - I'll never set a foot in that country so I won't support their economy. Plenty of dictators out there already.

To think this country wanted to be part of EU. What an effin' joke. You guys have no clue what democracy, freedom and equality means. If Turkey would be taken in, then we can take Syria or Pakistan too

I consider it ad-hoc when the request escapes the planning phase and goes directly in to my pile of work as top/near top priority.

A little bit of this is understandable. You can't wait for every task to get put in to the backlog and planned out in sprints or whatever. But if you've ever had a week where 90% of your time goes to everything but planned work well... it's really frustrating.

There's often a high cost to context switching for developers. There's been some loose "studies" done that confirm this, and I definitely feel it at a personal level. A "quick request" isn't just the half hour it takes me to do the thing. It's the language switch, the environment switch, forgetting what I was in the middle of, etc, that really causes the bulk of my productivity loss.

It gets to the point sometimes where I give two time estimates: one where I'm allowed to shut my door and work, and one where I factor in the likely torrent of interruptions that will more than double my actual completion time.
It was through taking speed at parties that eventually led to my diagnosis - it ended up being something I did almost exclusively not at parties and for the purpose of getting things done, because it just didn't give me the same high feeling that most people talk about, it made me feel calmer.

Anecdotally,

Whenever I receive a signed-for delivery, I'm asked to provide my name and attempt to sign on the proffered touchscreen device - invariably scrawling a shape that in no way resembles my actual signature.

I recently accepted a new role, and as part of the on-boarding digitally signed my contract by typing my name into a text box marked "Digital Signature" - I'm kinda assuming it's just a regular input box with added legalese.

Signatures are absolutely no longer proof of anything, simply a token gesture with perhaps a dash of security-by-fud tacked on.

There is a big difference between wrapping up a source control tree and having fragments in emails.

Also let's not pretend that the idea that you can remember something and re-type it is fine, but if you copy and paste it from an email, that's terrible. The line is pretty blurry.
I rather wish that subject was approached.

As I understand it (coming from rural Ontario—5th largest agri-region), farms and especially large farms (around there) are required to—or at least make it a habit of best practice—strategically rotate crops every n seasons to allow the soil to replenish.

It's not so simple as that, but I'm no biologist or farmer—just a former country boy. Maybe somebody more knowledgeable could enlighten or expand.

This looks really cool. However, as a potential customer I have two glaring concerns that would need to be addressed before I even considered the free trial:

1) In the terms of service, you mention that some of the templates do not comply with Facebook policy and according the terms it sounds like you denote which ones do and don't in the dashboard. I would be scared that Facebook would find my page "guilty by association" if there were violations from your other customers.

2) There is no privacy policy, and nothing in the terms, that details what information you collect from my Facebook page and how you use that information.

Connecting my FB page to an app like this not only opens my page up to problems, but those of my followers. Having clearer terms and privacy policy gives me at least some piece of mind to know that you have at least thought of these things.
