Oo Has More Dials
One of the reasons
is because
This page is perhaps redundant with the page I just extracted from
. Of course, maybe this is a better name. I'm not always so good at naming things. -- francis
I intended this page to represent only one argument that
presented, with the further intent of refuting only this one argument. There may be other reasons/arguments that
. Is that sufficient to keep this page alive? I trust your refactoring skills, do as you see fit.
Why don't we do this: Take a look at
, and see if that page is either broader than what you had in mind for this page, or just about the same. They seem the same to me, but there could easily be a useful distinction here that I'm not getting right now. If you want to draw a distinction between the two pages, then by all means we can do that. Or we can merge the two pages, keeping this name, or that name. I'm flexible. -- francis
: move stuff related to this from
I disagreed with this argument on
, though perhaps it was misinterpreted on that page. The argument can be represented as:
=> more difficult, therefore OO is more difficult. My counter-argument wasn't based on denying that
. Instead it was based on denying that
=> more difficult. The
of design is the same (in my opinion) regardless of what language you're using. The
arises from a mismatch between the programming language and the human brain's ability to contort itself to follow the language.
has nothing to do with it, since those dials may make human-centred programming more or less difficult.
Let's look at this analogy in aircraft. A private propellor airplane has less dials than an airliner. This is because an airliner is more powerful, has better safety features, and can haul more people. But, an airliner takes far longer to learn. Applied to OOP, this would imply that OOP is more "powerful", such as being able to write larger applications that are maintanable. If this is so, perhaps we should clear up the scope. Private planes are fine for private use such that more dials wouldn't help them much. In other words, is OOP overkill for smallish projects? And, how does this fit with procedural or
claims that large applications are a smell anyhow and should be split?
The developer field is becoming like sports where people wear out, burn out, or are pushed out after about 12 years. Something that takes a decade of experience to "get right" is going to be problematic in such an environment.
{It's not that it takes a decade to "get right"; more like it takes a decade to achieve effortless skill, perspective and wisdom, i.e., mastery. That's about right, if you think of a typical programmer's career development consisting of three to four years of training (that's how long it takes to "get right" or become usefully employable, regardless of paradigm), then roughly a decade achieving mastery over the programming craft before moving into a management, senior architect, or academic role.}
has only two dials, so it should be easier to learn than OO.
From my industry observation, it appears that it takes a long time to even "get right", not merely master.
industry is awash in individuals who never achieve competence, or who take unduly long to come close to it. In software development, the choice of paradigm won't have the slightest effect on the habitually ineffective employee. They'd be just as marginal writing code with Lego blocks (which you can do, by the way -- see
) as with OO, procedural, functional, logic, whatever languages.}
[Well, dials aside, OO has a problem of being intuitive in a bad way. Too many people start applications as domain simulators. And there are quite a few design patterns one needs to grok before OO becomes useful. And, even knowing those design patterns, they can be painful to apply because typical OO languages don't offer effective abstractions for them (if there were effective abstractions, they wouldn't be 'patterns' because they'd simply be refactored and abstracted). Typical OO languages also have a difficult time with concurrency, synchronous and asynchronous IO, reentrancy, reactivity (
), working with large data sets, and especially any combination of these. In many ways, OO makes developers jump through quite a few hoops to get useful work done. There is also much confusion between subclassing and subtyping, and so on. I would agree with the observation that OO takes a long time to "get right", even among intelligent and competent developers.]
{Load of shite. It's straightforward to "get right", especially when treated as better procedural programming instead of a distinct paradigm (which, obviously, it isn't). It goes deeply wrong when concurrency, synchronous and asynchronous I/O, reentrancy, and especially design patterns are given inappropriate priorities, or force-taught by ignorant academics instead of being learned at the side of educated practitioners. Programming doesn't just benefit from apprenticeship, it requires it. (It goes wrong when idiots are hired, too, but nothing helps that.) Only rank beginners start applications as domain simulators, and a sound apprenticeship approach wipes out such nonsense in days.}
[I have observed much easier success with alternative paradigms -
, DataCentricPublishSubscribe
- mostly because in these cases the language and architecture is taking care of the very difficult challenges of: managing concurrency, fetching the necessary data, maintaining caches, directing the output data at the right time, etc.. Unfortunately, most of the world seems to think there are only three paradigms: procedural, functional, and OO.]
{Sure, developers are really using
, DataCentricPublishSubscribe
, and
in production programming in any appreciable numbers. Stop spouting made-up nonsense and join the real world. You young pups who think you know everything after (at best) having seen a year or two of one narrow-viewed job would be wise to listen to your elders who have been dealing with your kind for decades. If you worked for me, I'd crush your arrogance by making you do Gantt charts all day long until you exhibited an appropriate degree of humility, and then I'd make you do debugging -- no new code -- for a year. After that, maybe you'd know something instead of thinking you know everything.}
{Then I'd fire your ass and outsource your job to Russians.}
[Wow, you seem cranky, old man. You talk a lot but all I hear is that 'young pups' don't have a monopoly on arrogance. Most of my experience with OO was on the job, in three different jobs, as a latecomer to each, for late cycle changes and maintenance - so my understanding of how OO architectures turn out in the hands of 'experienced practitioners' comes from observing several such architectures. In
every case
, developers were struggling with concurrency, observation, caching, and synchronous + asynchronous IO. Where they tried to avoid it, it just came back and bit them later when some other component of the application needed concurrency. My impression is that this is a common problem when combining data from multiple input sources and maintaining responsiveness - which describes a very common class of applications. Maybe an apprenticeship would have helped them, and helped me. But it seems we're short on wandering OO masters, and it seems you'd be the sort of harsh, foolish master that lashes out at his apprentices and teaches nothing. How many Russians are you paying at the moment?]
[I agree that
OO as better procedural
is one of the better approaches - one that, notably, deprecates a variety of traditional OO technologies (deemphasizing inheritance, for example). Indeed, simple procedural + good
architecture (DCPS, CEP, RDBMS, FBP, web service, etc.) would be one of my recommendations as alternative to OO. I've seen engineers whip up and integrate useful DCPS apps in just a few hours. More importantly,
I've seen engineers become comfortable and productive with the technology in just a few weeks
Maybe the problem is that it's
too hard to know when you are doing OO wrong
because there are so many different ways to do OO wrong that experience from the last wrong way is less applicable. Thus, experience takes too long to push you toward the right way.

Iowa CITY, Iowa - Matt Gatens was the last Iowa player to leave the court Thursday night at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Fans, family and friends mobbed the sharp-shooter.
As he reached the tunnel, he stopped and walked over to the stands. He and the school's all-time leading scorer, Roy Marble Sr., locked in an embrace. While only lasting a second or two, it represented what Iowa hopes can connect generations of Iowa basketball.
Gatens really is doing his best to be the bridge from the good ole days when Marble Sr. was walking on air, through the Tom Davis Era past the lackluster run of Steve Alford and Todd Lickliter to what the Hawkeye faithful hopes is a fruitful future with Fran McCaffery.
After scoring a career-high 30 points Sunday in an upset of No. 18 Indiana, Gatens dropped 33 on No. 15 Wisconsin in a 67-66 win here Thursday. He enjoyed a stretch between those two games of 12 consecutive three-pointers made.
"One of the most incredible things I've ever seen, right from the beginning," Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery said.
If you've followed the Iowa program, you know that Gatens has given his heart and soul to the black and gold. Most of the time, the effort has ended in defeat. Seasons have finished with a whimper and empty stands.
Not this year. Not when he's a senior. Not when there's one last chance to dance in March. And, yes, any postseason for a guy that's worked this hard and who cares so much for this program would be worth at least a jig.
Iowa defeated its fourth ranked team this season in front of a raucous crowd. It swept Wisconsin in a season series for the first time since '95. The Hawkeyes are 7-8 in the Big Ten.
That might not seem very good to someone that doesn't follow the Big Ten. But when you consider where this program sat two years ago at the end of a three-year train wreck conducted by Todd Lickliter, the Hawkeyes have come forward light years.
McCaffery won't win coach of the year in the conference this season. Nobody is doing a better job than him, though, even if the Hawkeyes fail to win another league game.
McCaffery likely will remain the focus of this program for the foreseeable future. And if his popularity continues to grow, people can look back at these first two years as the foundation. Gatens is the foreman of that crew and he's leaving a legacy for his current teammates to follow and pass on.
"When he was the last one in (to the locker room) off the (court), they ran to him and lifted him up off the floor," McCaffery said. "As happy as I'm sure he is, they were more happy for him. To me, it showed an incredible level of respect for a guy; how hard he's worked, his professionalism, his captaincy, how he leads. That's the way it should be."
Gatens, who grew up in Iowa City the son of a former Hawkeye player (Mike Gatens), has put together the type of distinguishing performances fans can look back on and say, remember when Matt rained threes on Indiana and Wisconsin in back to back games.
We're talking 14 of 20 from beyond the arc here, folks. Defenders in his face, fading away, shooting daggers.
Perhaps Gatens' most impressive hoop on Thursday came on a pull-up jumper just inside of the foul line. He hung in the air, double-clutched while the defender drifted by him, and swished it through the net.
Friends and family were sporting "Gators Gang" T-Shirts on Thursday in recognition of the nickname he shares with his father. There were a lot of them.
As he came out of the locker room to hugs from that crew, Mike waited at the end of the line. He put his arm around his son and said simply, "I'm proud of you."
Star players come and go. Most of them are fondly remembered. There's something special about Gatens.
We just don't get a lot of kids that grow up in Iowa City and represent a program so well on and off the court. We talk a lot about athletes screwing up, but often ignore the good guys unless they're winning.
As much as Matt's performance meant to the Hawkeye fans who relish any opportunity to knock off Wisconsin, nobody had a bigger smile than Gatens. It was a night to remember, finally.

The Oslo School of Architecture and Design has been working with Service Design for several years now, and has built up a small group of researchers and practitioners. We have now been awarded considerable research funding as partners in the Centre for Service Innovation in Norway, and have responsibility for work within the area of 'Brand and Customer Experience'. This will have an 8 year duration.
We are looking to extend our network, recruit PhD students and find partners for collaboration. At this stage, we have two PhD positions open (look here http://www.aho.no/no/AHO/Aktuelt/Ledige-stillinger/) and are looking at other options for developing a design-based approach to Service Innovation. One option we are exploring is the designer in residence idea, and short term guest designers.
My understanding of Service Design is that it made rapid strides in methods and processes about 7 years ago, and has stagnated a little since then. I would like to push past the post-its and develop some new approaches, but at this stage, don't know exactly what these would be. (I am not criticizing Service Design here and there is still huge potential in infusing these methods into companies and practice - I would just like to go further)
This mail is to flag our interest in developing contacts within the field. If anyone is interested, please get in touch.

Prosonix has teamed up with respiratory diseases experts at Imperial College London's National Heart and Lung Institute (NHLI) to accelerate development of the U.K. firm's inhaled multicomponent particle™ (MCP™)-based combination drugs for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. Prosonix is exploiting its ultrasonic particle engineering technology to develop MCPs that combine two active drug molecules at precise, predetermined ratios in each drug particle, without needing additional excipients.
The collaboration with the NHLI researchers will apply in vitro and in vivo lung models to evaluate the effects of MCP-based inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting beta agonist (LABA) combinations, and LABA/long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) combinations on inflammation and bronchodilation, in comparison with already marketed drug combinations. The aim is to accelerate development of Prosonix' PSX2000 series of MCP drug combinations into formal preclinical/proof-of-concept studies in 2013.
"Colocalization of active components in respiratory drug combinations in the lung may offer the potential for an enhanced clinical effect and therapeutic efficacy that is not fully achieved with current combinations," comments Omar Usmani, M.D., who heads the NHLI laboratory working with Prosonix. "With better treatment of respiratory diseases requiring improved combinations for these reasons, we are extremely interested in Prosonix' particle-engineering approach and multicomponent particles to determine whether they can demonstrate clinical synergy and thus provide a novel and effective means of delivering respiratory combinations."
Prosonix' sonocrystallization particle-engineering platform hinges on the use of its Prosonitron® ultrasound technology to fine-tuning physicochemical properties of APIs. The technology underpins the firm's Discus, Umax, Sax, and MCP particle-engineering technologies. Prosonix is exploiting the platforms to develop both generic monotherapy products and combination respiratory drugs based on the MCP platform. Its pipeline includes PSX1001, a fluticasone propionate formulation being developed as an inhaled monotherapy in MDI, and PSX1002, a novel formulation of the LAMA glycopyrrolate in develpment as an inhaled monotherapy in MDI for treating COPD.
The PSX2000 MCP Series is a family of inhaled combination therapies for respiratory diseases based on the use of MCPs created using the Umax and Discus platforms. The company is evaluating the MCP platform through the development of fluticasone/salmeterol and budesonide/formoterol combinations, which are the drug combinations in GSK's Advair/Seretide and AstraZeneca's Symbicort, respectively, as well as other combinations of inhaled corticosteroids, LABA, and LAMA.
In May Prosonix raised £5.7 million in the second closing of its Series B financing round, which has totalled £17.1 million.

Bahamas RECOMMENDATIONS See all
Spending the Holidays In the Bahamas
By Hudson, USA, December 2012
In many ways, the Bahamas celebrate Christmas and New Year's in the traditional Anglican fashion – and that is with Christmas trees and ideas of Santa Claus and so forth. What's special and different about Christmas in the Bahamas is the idea that everything should be fabulously colorful (Oh, it's a tad warm too).
Editor's Note: This recommendation was taken from our Bahamas Things to Do blog. Visit the original post to continue reading the full post and to learn more about things to do in Bahamas.

Snowboarding Forum - Snowboard Enthusiast Forums (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/forum.php)
- Boots (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boots/)
- - Laces or Not? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boots/34355-laces-not.html)
Laces or Not?
I was just wondering everyones opinion on boots. i need a new pair, and cannot decide between a traditional lace up boot, like the DC park boot, or something like the burton moto with the no lace system. Which ones do you like? i'm open to suggestions...
The one that fits your feet the best.
From my experience laces will yield the most custom and best fit...
But every foot is different, so a speed lace may work for you. I've had a few speed lace boots and recently went lace and I will never go back.
It's really personal preference and your foot.
To the expense remark... Boots are THE single most important item in your arsenal. You can't really judge a boot by price low or high... So you can't go buy the most pricy boot and assume it's good, and a low end boot may be perfect for you as well.
And ya, I have the Kaiju's and love them. I don't see myself in any other brand for quite some time.... Nike has infinite resources and I feel they make the best boot on the market because of that. I'm not a huge Nike person, but I buy what I feel is best.... I don't buy american vehicles either, until they step it up to the level that foreign cars are on.
I agree with Milo that Nike makes a quality boot. Although from a different Nike thread, we disagree on the sizing of them.:dunno:
I have Kaiju's too and think they're great...cause they fit my feet the best. Best thing to do is try a ton of boots on. My first pair of boots, I just bought cause the guy said it was good and had it ended up being a horribly fitting boot. When I got my Kaiju's I wanted speedlaces or Boa, but the Nikes fit me so well compared to the others I couldn't pass it up. And I tried on a ton of boots from multiple stores.
I have a pair of Burton Ions with the speed lace system. They're pretty good and easy to tie up but they're starting to slip after 2 seasons. I think I'll be sending them for warranty at the end of this season.
As said before, go with the best fit. Don't even look at the prices when you're shopping.
1 Attachment(s)
Laces all the way.
i think laces are the most comfortable. you also don't have to worry about stuff breaking, just carry an extra pair of laces and you are set for any disaster. I don't mind taking a little longer to put on my boots to have the best fit and most comfort. I tried a double boa for a little, but didn't like it.
Went boa 5 years back and now after picking up a pair of boots with double boa I will never go back to laces.

JEERS to the sweltering heat. If you're not sweating while reading this, congratulations, you have good air conditioning. Let's leave these 100-degree temperatures to more tropical locales.
CHEERS to all the participants in this week's 30th annual Harrisburg Mile. The city might not be financially fit at the moment, but there are a lot of physically fit people around. Even those who didn't cross the finish line first such as local native Brian Fuller and Rose Mascoli of Lebanon still broke records for hot feet on a hot day.
JEERS to GQ Magazine for labeling Penn State No. 2 on its list of "douchiest" colleges in America, an unflattering label for brainless types. Of course, this listing comes only a few months after the magazine dubbed Philly sports fans the worst in the nation. What's with all the hate for the Keystone State? According to the old state license plates, GQ might have a friend in Pennsylvania but not vice versa.
CHEERS to all the volunteers and residents who are toiling away to turn a vacant lot at Mulberry and Crescent streets in Allison Hill into a community garden. The arts group Danzante is spearheading the community art project. As one person relayed to me, the various cleanups on Allison Hill show "there's much more treasure in this city buried under trash."
JEERS to Borders bookstores boarding up. The chain's Camp Hill store has closed, and the Harrisburg one is having a liquidation sale. Another chapter has ended for lovers of print books.
CHEERS to the Hershey Library. At the same time that Borders is closing, Hershey is embracing the future of reading. The library will be the first in the area to loan out e-readers — two Amazon Kindles and two Barnes & Noble Nooks. It's a reminder that good stories aren't changing, only the format we read them in.
JEERS to the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission and Commonwealth Court for denying Patriot-News reporter Jan Murphy access to the department's E-ZPass records for its employees. Comments from a prior commissioner indicate 2,000 turnpike employees get E-ZPasses for government and personal use, which the state pays for. While E-ZPass data might be private, let's remember that taxpayers are footing the bill for these folks, and it should be EZ to know how much we're paying.
Heather Long is deputy editorial page editor. 255-8104 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Jane Rising of Susquehanna Twp. found one company beating the heat: "CHEERS to 3 Bs on Colonial Road. They had no electricity BUT they remained open in the true spirit of National Ice Cream Day (July 17)! We were ready to point the car toward the front with headlights on just so we could have a cup of moose tracks!"
Tom Beene of Lemoyne didn't think we were clowning around last week: "Your JEER of 'clown man' was way off base. I walk to work every day (Lemoyne to Harrisburg) and have actually talked to 'Rob.' He apparently does not like his nose and that is why he wears a clown nose. I think that local officials and mental health professionals need to reach out to him and make sure that he gets treatment."
E. Hazell, an "ex-riverside drummer," wrote in to say, "Yes, CHEERS for the drum circle. It is a wonderful thing and a lot of people enjoy it both as participants and observers. However, JEERS to the city for setting a sneaky precedent regarding the need for a permit to gather. About a year ago after several years of garnering at that spot, a city park ranger said our group needed a permit. After a few meetings with city officials, they determined we needed a permit, but that they would waive the price. I believe they said the city would 'pay it.' Why is a broke city paying for a permit that isn't really needed?"
Scott Hoffman of Harrisburg has more JEERS: "As a follow-up to the Interstate 83, Limekiln Road on/off ramps and the signage that limits your visibility to see oncoming traffic as you merge, it is worse. For whatever reason, the workers now park vehicles near the signs on the northbound entrance ramp. There are cars and pickup trucks blocking your view trying to see the northbound traffic that is easily exceeding the 45 mph posted construction speed limit. I am not sure how your X-ray vision works, but mine cannot see through solid metal and plastic."

Less than four weeks remain until the Aug. 2 deadline to increase the government's power to borrow money, as lawmakers continue to hammer out a deal.
President Obama will meet with the leaders from both parties on Thursday to resume talks on cutting the massive federal deficit.
Democrats want new taxes, while Republicans want spending cuts but no new taxes. If they fail to raise the debt limit, the U.S. government could default on its obligations.
"The debt ceiling should not be something that is used as a gun against the heads of the American people to extract tax breaks for corporate jet owners or oil and gas companies that are making billions of dollars," Obama said during a town hall that featured questions posed through the online social network Twitter.
Republicans say they are willing to consider closing tax loopholes for businesses to bring in more money.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said those measures should be coupled with tax cuts.
"If the president wants to talk loopholes, we'll be glad to talk loopholes," he said.
He added that any revenues raised from closing loopholes "should be coupled with offsetting tax cuts somewhere else."
In an interview Thursday with NBC's "Today," Cantor said that any deal to avert a government default must include "reforms to the system" to show that Washington can manage the country's finances.
Twitter Town Hall
In the president's Twitter Town Hall on Wednesday, Obama spoke about the ongoing deficit negotiations. He made it clear that he wants more than a short-term solution.
"We still hope its possible to have a big comprehensive proposal here that, in a very serious way, addresses this enormous debt problem that we have," Obama said in response to a question on the budget talks.
The president also answered questions on issues from taxes to the space program. He also answered a question from House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, about job creation.

Have I mentioned that my new favorite lunch is 4 egg yolks with 1 T mayo and dipping celery in it?? *swoon* I topped it off with 14 pepperonis..YUM!
I am ignoring said chocolate.. I am surprised it does not have a pull on me (at least of yet). Today in team, a coworker went to the local cookie shop (we have 2 in town) and brought in a dozen. I declined! Not even tempted although I was surprised how many offered me one even considering they know about my success. smh
success breeds success, keep it going girl!
All day conferences for me today. I made an enchilada soup. It very much like New Mexico Green chili made with chicken instead of pork. A dollop of sour cream on top will be quite yummy!
Success if lined up today... I escaped the candy slippery slope. To be quite honest, it did not really have that much of appeal to me.
Hooray for lack of candy appeal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have super duper day:) [Send me some soup, okay?:)]
So yesterday was a candy/sugar success. My soup went over well. I samples all soups except the tortellini and the chick. Noodle. There was a hamburger soup with corn..i really thought the corn would jack me up but it didnt. It was the potato soup that has me hobbling in pain from my knees to ankles and shoulders. Those darn nightshade vegetables!!!! I call it a clean day because i did not overindulge or eat sugar/processed food. If i ever needed to verify my sensativity to nightshades i have it. Advil is not helping so i thought i would have a highfat carbless day. If i am still in pain tomorrow, i will do it again. I dont know what else to do to heal my system. It feels like arthritis and hurts!!!
I have had bfc, bacon and a double hamburger. I can not say i am hungry at all even though i am superlow on macros.
I turned into a cream cheese fiend at the beginning of this week. I would let an ounce or 2 soften up, then add a little flavor (you can do flavorings, or coconut, or instant coffee) and some stevia and mix it all up. Just like cheesecake!
Pain is the body's way of saying, well I need rest. You have done a lot this past few weeks, and yes the nightshades do a number on you, I bet it is worse because of the stress. Have you tried a "calgon" bath. Surely there is some bath de-tox recipes you can make with stuff you already have in the house, pinterest is great for this kind of thing! Then a nice cup of tea or two, cozy jammies, a good movie/tv show or book and you are relaxing.
I am going to soak in some epsom salts and essential oils while the kid is @ bball practice. The thing is my attitude and outlook are still fine but i am in pain and its strange.
Thank goodness this is a long weekend. I will report my pain progress tomorrow.. earlier today i was @ an 8-9 rating. I am now 7-8.
Hey the detox recipe adds baking soda, ginger, and vinegar to the epaon salts in the hot water. I just searched detox bath on pinterest. Let me know how you are doing
