I agree that dependency injection and dynamic scoping are similar and I think they are both anti-patterns.

It doesn't make sense to stub out dependencies in unit tests (unless you absolutely have to). Stubbing out dependencies is like stubbing out native functions, operators or loops. They are called dependencies for a good reason; because your class depends on them and assumes that they work. Trying to make dependencies substitutable is overengineering and leads to poor design and gives you more work when implementing unit tests.

Dependency injection is particularly bad because it makes it difficult to find the path to the dependency's source code (which is critical for debugging). Hiding the source path of a dependency is a terrible anti-pattern. When it comes to programming, there are few things more horrible than not being able to determine where some buggy piece of logic is located. I cannot imagine any use case where that would be a fair tradeoff.

Any kind of injection of dependencies should be done via an explicit method/constructor parameter. Sometimes it means that the dependency instance has to traverse a few classes in the hierarchy, but that's way better because at least you can unambiguously track where the dependency came from. Also, if the dependency has to traverse A LOT of classes, then you know there is probably something wrong with your architecture (e.g. a dependency imported too high in the hierarchy and used in a deeply nested class can indicate poor separation of concerns and leaky abstraction between components).
> I see no issue with free range eggs from a local keeping chickens

- Male chickens are usually ground up alive within a day of being born because they're not economical to keep for meat. Locally kept chickens still feed into this supply and demand as the egg laying hens have to come from somewhere.

- Egg laying chickens can live for about 8 years but are usually killed after 2 years when they stop producing as many eggs. This happens at free range farms too.

- Also, free range doesn't mean what most people think it does e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_range#Free-range_poultry "In the United States, the USDA free range regulations currently apply only to poultry and indicate that the animal has been allowed access to the outside.[3] The USDA regulations do not specify the quality or size of the outside range nor the duration of time an animal must have access to the outside.[4] ... Free-range chicken eggs, however, have no legal definition in the United States. Likewise, free-range egg producers have no common standard on what the term means"

> since they lay eggs most days whether you eat them or not and if you don’t use them, they would rot or attract rodents.

We bred chickens to lay eggs that often though (wild chickens lay about 10 eggs a year whereas factory chickens lay about 300 which is so much it damages their health) and for them to leave their eggs unprotected (they've been bred to not "brood"). They're forced into this cycle.
"According to the Lechs, the defendants’ conduct amounts to a taking because (1) the officers physically intruded upon and ultimately destroyed their home and (2) such a “physical appropriation of property gives rise to a per se taking.” Aplt. Br. 9. The defendants, on the other hand, argue that no taking occurred because the officers damaged the Lechs’ home pursuant to the police power, not the power of eminent domain. The district court agreed with the defendants: it concluded that “the tactical decisions that ultimately destroyed [the Lechs’] home were made pursuant to the state’s police powers and not the power of eminent domain.” App. vol. 2, 399. Thus, the district court ruled, the defendants’conduct did not constitute a taking for purposes of the Taking Clause."

There is obviously an upside and a downside. The platitude that "freedom isn't free" is something that seems to be lost on critics of the effects of liberty.

I don't think the free speech absolutism present in the US was ever meant to suggest that there isn't such thing as undesirable speech, but rather that the potential for tyranny under regulated speech is a danger well worth avoiding at any cost.

In addition to that, America is a country that works forwards from principles much more often than European nations, which very often work backwards from objectives. To frame the right to free speech in regards to whether or not it is "working out" is not a particularly American frame of reference. The principle that individuals should express themselves as they see fit, and that this is the foundation for a free and open society, is essentially square one.
IANAP either but as far as I understand the incompatibility is not on wether gravity is a force or not (that's just a way to interpret the equations). The issue is that all attempts to quantize gravity have failed so far (due to the specific mathematical properties of the gravitational field) and QFT would require gravity to be quantized to interact with other quantum fields.
We built one!

https://anvil.works is the tool. It is quite explicitly based on VB and other systems like it: it's got a drag-and-drop UI designer, backed by Python. Double-click a button, and edit the Python code that runs when it's clicked. You write Python on the front end (we transpile to JS), Python on the back end, and we host it for you with a click.

Here's a little known fact - the Jet storage engine behind Access is alive and well. It's used by Active Directory and many other products at Microsoft. At my previous company, we built a distributed key-value store on top of it (much like using sqlite in a distributed manner).
This reminds me of a job I had back in the mysts of time (...or more likely around 2003ish).

I was brought into a project where a seniour data scientist was working with MS Access but was runing out of room as it, at the time, had a database size limit of 1Gb on disk and our data set was about 2.5Gb in size.

We could have ported the whole thing to SQLite3, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL or even Oracle as we had site wide licences available.

Nope. MS Access was the favourite tool of this guy so in MS Access the data had to stay and I had to write code to juggle data between multiple simulataniously connect databases on a single machine.

This taught me a lot about how scienitst and accademics approach software engineering. My boss was both brilliant and really dum at the same time. He just wanted to get from A-to-B as "simply" as possible. He wasn't interested maintainablitly or assethics.

To this day the whole business still brings me out in a cold sweat of cognative disonance because on some level I know he may have had a point but on the other hand... I STILL have the flatspot that work gave me on my forehead from all the pointless wall banging involved.

I still beleive his work saved the company involved millions if not billions over years since it was presented.
(...and I have never accepted another contract involving VBA or other Microsoft technologies since.)

Access is both a database engine and an UI and forms builder. You can easily design a database and make queries in the UI, and you can create custom forms to the extent that is doesn't look like a database anymore but just a custom desktop application. You can do that without any programming.
What they are suggesting is state ownership of all housing, with 'democratic' allocation based on needs. It's been tried...
With dynamic scoping, when you need a DatabaseConnection, someone up the stack from you still has to construct it manually. With dependency injection, the framework can construct it for you.

I think maybe a better analogy for dependency injection is imports. When library A imports library B which imports library C, they can just declare that, nobody needs to assemble "new A(new B(new C()))". Dependency injection is the same thing, but instead of libraries you have stateful objects, like "a RequestHandler needs a RequestContext which needs a DatabaseConnection". Maybe these tasks could even be handled by the same tool, but I haven't seen such a tool yet.

> The infrastructure of catalunya (high speed trains, ports, highways, etc...) have been paid by all spaniards during many, many years. Like ways, may people from all over Spain live and work in catalunya and viceversa.

It's not like it was paid only by people from outside Catalonia. In fact, the catalan people, pay taxes as well, and that money was used to fund developments outside Catalonia too. And this not only happens at a country level, there are for example funds from the European Union like the ERDF. Does that mean that Scotland should never leave the UK (and therefore the EU) because their roads -for example- have been paid by the european people for many, many years?

How big of a problem would it be, if the professional sports leagues were to disappear? There are probably many opinions on the matter.

But I agree, without advertisements, professional sports would not survive, so it's not going to happen.
I'm guessing, since people/companies are isolated and don't even consider suing a big entity as Google, there's no one that's going to do anything. And the police/law certainly won't go after someone as large as Google. I'd guess that, if EU would take it on, they could bring them to justice, but they seem to only be after GDPR money currently.

Unless the residents you vote to murder are also given the same freedom to secede and draw a border that excludes you because they do not consider your rule legitimate, this certainly would not be democratic.

Your analogy illustrates why a right to secede matters: It is the ultimate peaceful (if the right is protected) tool for those who feel disenfranchised, whether by being robbed off the chance to vote or because they are a persistent minority, to ensure that either their rights are protected because the government do not want them to leave, or that they have an escape hatch against a majority abusing their power.

It is saying "we no longer accept that this government legitimately represents us," and the right and ability to do that seems to me to be the most fundamental concept of democracy - but only if it is extended to everyone, which takes away the problems of your example; you and your six friends would have no rights to draw a new border that includes other residents without they too having a say, including the right to themselves secede if you do not offer them something they are willing to see as legitimate.

As such it provides an important incentive against over-reach and towards negotiated settlements that does not exist when there is no realistic mechanism for a minority to vote for their region to leave.

You can mitigate the need for a right to secede by giving sufficient protections for minorities against the choices of the majority; but whenever secession gains substantial support, that is evidence that whatever mechanisms are in place are insufficient.

To me, a government that feels a need to deploy police to stop a region from demanding independence is inherently illegitimate.

At the same time, I am all four having secessionists be made to understand the consequences, in that if you a house and decides your house should secede, then fine, but you e.g. have no inherent right to then be allowed to cross the border, or expect your new neighbouring state to provide you with any services, and you can expect them to act with force to protect the interests of any of their citizens resident on "your territory" who do not want to secede and who are not offered sufficient protections - including their own right to secede from "your state" and rejoin their preferred state.

In practice I think that taking such a right to secede to it's full consequence would minimize actual uses - anyone wanting to do it would need to take into account the problems of whether or not they'd e.g. end up with enclaves, eroded borders, exclaves, and whether they'd even end up with a contiguous territory of significance at all if they have majority support in a region but also lot of resistance, and would be forced to actually negotiate to solve such issues in a way that is not inherently detrimental to both sides. At the same time this would also apply to the state you seek to leave.

In this current era of job killing automation, the natural progression is a trend where people abandon big cities to live off grid, produce their own electricity and grown their own food organically. City living is fast becoming unsustainable due to job automation coupled with high taxes, bad regulation and poor policy on the part of corrupt states like california and new york.

Population size isn't the main issue with resource consumption, pollution nor negative trends associated with society. The real problem involves key aspects of our civilization being designed and implemented by investment bankers. These investment bankers make unimaginably poor decisions such as feeding farm animals in factory farms constant streams of antibiotics to prevent disease rather than give animals humane or clean environments to live in.

Lack of healthy food can be attributed to investment bankers wanting to centralize and patent the human food supply under monsanto and GM foods which they own key patents to. This lack of competition and the predatory business practices adopted do much to kill diversity in food stocks and produce otherwise inferior products via lack of free market competition.

I agree. In terms of twitter's decision though.... This could either support their decision or the opposite.

Being the arbitar of truth is both an unavoidable demand and an impossible task for Twitter. Being a "public square" where politics is decided/discussed makes the implications of this problem especially acute. Fairness, whatever that means, is doubly important in democratic media.

Their detractors (and would-be regulators) will ultimately demand a "corporate policy" and judge them by their inconsistency... Why is this banned and not that? That is, a set of rules applied in all circumstances. Clear legible rules applied consistently is where cracks in theories like "truth and lies are easily discernable" inevitably appear.

It's an impossibly hard line to police. "This is a political ad," OTOH, is an easier judgement to make. Contraversial decisions would be tolerable too, deeming one and political but not another. East is probably an overstatement, but political/not-political is easier than truth/lies
