I think "purely functional, not a single re-assigned variable" often introduces significant extra complexity, when Ruby is a language that embraces both functional and imperative programming.
-
One of my favorite aspects of Ruby is how easy it is to write in a functional programming style, and including the scan operation would expand the number of use cases covered by functional methods.

An object in object-oriented language is essentially a record that contains procedures specialized to handle that record; and object types are an elaboration of record types. Indeed, in most object-oriented languages, records are just special cases of objects, and are known as plain old data structures (PODSs), to contrast with objects that use OO features.

Colaroid’s unique ap-proach to literate programming is to bring together the rich textediting affordances of notebooks together with automated creationof contextualized code snippets showing code differences, and closeintegration of the literate document into an IDE where code can betinkered with.
This misses the point of LP—the true "fundamental theorem of LP" is basically that the compiler should be made to accept the preferred form.

REPLs are nice but they work well only for reasonably isolated code with few dependencies. It's hard to set up a complex object to pass into a function. It's harder still to set up an elaborate context of dependencies around that function.
I wonder how much of this is accomplishable by automatically parameterizing code by the types that aren't used internally so they implementation can forget about the specifics. In addition some sort of meta-programming capability to automatically generate arbitrary instances or a richer form of trace types for user types would go a long way to simplifying the trace generation.

Five core layers: 1. Presentation Layer 2. Application Layer 3. Domain Layer 4. Persistence Layer 5. Database Layer
-
In the layered architecture pattern, each layer fulfills a specific responsibility and role within the application. Some focus on user interface logic, while others handle the execution of business rules. These layers complement each other's unique purposes, but they aren't explicitly reliant on one another to perform their own tasks.
-
In software architecture, layers act as individual processes within the infrastructure of an application. These layers typically form a pattern, also called the n-tier architecture pattern.

Public and/or protected fields are bad because they can be manipulated from outside the declaring class without validation; thus they can be said to break the encapsulation principle of object oriented programming.
-
When you lose encapsulation, you lose the contract of the declaring class; you cannot guarantee that the class behaves as intended or expected.
-
Using a property or a method to access the field enables you to maintain encapsulation, and fulfill the contract of the declaring class.
-
Exposing properties gives you a way to hide the implementation. It also allows you to change the implementation without changing the code that uses it (e.g. if you decide to change the way data are stored in the class)
-
Anything that isn't explicitly enforced by contract is vulnerable to misunderstandings. It's doing your teammates a great service, and reducing everyone's effort, by eliminating ambiguity and enforcing information flow by design.

Derived classes need to follow their base class contracts, but may choose to expose a subtype of base class with more capabilities. This includes making protected members public:
-
TypeScript offers special syntax for turning a constructor parameter into a class property with the same name and value. These are called parameter properties
Doesn't this violate their own non-goal #6, "Provide additional runtime functionality", since it emits a
this.x = xrun-time side effect in the body that isn't explicitly written out in the source code? -

Practically speaking, if you can't think of a reason why it would be dangerous then theres more to be gained by opting for extensibility.
-
If it's dangerous, note it in the class/method Javadocs, don't just blindly slam the door shut.
-
When a developer chooses to extend a class and override a method, they are consciously saying "I know what I'm doing." and for the sake of productivity that should be enough. period.

From Jim Keller on Lex, there’s three fundamental types of compute CPU: add, multiply, load, store, compare, branch (nothing can be known about anything) GPU: add, multiply, load, store (when things happen is known, but the addresses aren’t) DSP: add, multiply (everything is known except the data) Neural networks are DSPs. All the loads and stores can be statically computed, which isn’t even possible for GPU workloads, never mind CPU ones.

I think that TANGLE-style reordering is a lot less important with modern programming languages: they don't do one-pass compilation and so can deal with forward references. Note that most of the cross-references in Knuth's program could be replaced with function calls or constant names

How can I add, subtract, and compare binary numbers in Python without converting to decimal?
I think the requirements of this were not spelled out well. After reading this over a couple of times, I think the problem should be…
"Add, subtract, and compare binary numbers in Python as strings, without converting them to decimal."
I'll take on that problem sometime when I get free time!

Here we have extended this model to a slightly different category, a category where morphisms are represented by embellished functions, and their composition does more than just pass the output of one function to the input of another. We have one more degree of freedom to play with: the composition itself. It turns out that this is exactly the degree of freedom which makes it possible to give simple denotational semantics to programs that in imperative languages are traditionally implemented using side effects.

Object-oriented Programming (OOP) is the process of converting this perfectlydefined design into a working program that does exactly what the CEOoriginally requested.
OOP
-
Object-oriented Design (OOD) is the process of converting such requirements intoan implementation specification. The designer must name the objects, define thebehaviors, and formally specify what objects can activate specific behaviors onother objects. The design stage is all about how things should be done. The outputof the design stage is an implementation specification. If we were to complete thedesign stage in one step, we would have turned the requirements into a set ofclasses and interfaces that could be implemented in (ideally) any object-orientedprogramming language.
OOD
-
Object-oriented Analysis (OOA) is the process of looking at a problem, system,or task that somebody wants to turn into an application and identifying the objectsand interactions between those objects. The analysis stage is all about what needsto be done. The output of the analysis stage is a set of requirements. If we were tocomplete the analysis stage in one step, we would have turned a task, such as, "Ineed a website", into a set of requirements, such as:Visitors to the website need to be able to (italic represents actions, boldrepresents objects):review our historyapply for jobsbrowse, compare, and order our products

What object-oriented means
What does the object-oriented means? Objects are models of somethings that can do certain things and have certain things done to them. Formally, an object is a collection of data and associated behaviors.

Hints for Preparing Documents Most documents go through several versions (always more than you expected) before they are finally finished. Accordingly, you should do whatever possible to make the job of changing them easy. First, when you do the purely mechanical operations of typing, type so subsequent editing will be easy. Start each sentence on a new line. Make lines short, and break lines at natural places, such as after commas and semicolons, rather than randomly. Since most people change documents by rewriting phrases and adding, deleting and rearranging sentences, these precautions simplify any editing you have to do later. — Brian W. Kernighan, 1974
—Brian W. Kernighan, 1974 “UNIX for Beginners” [PDF] as Bell Labs Technical Memorandum 74-1273-18 on 29 October 1974.
For easier editing and reuse of sentences, or even portions of lines of text, one can (and should) write sentences or sentence fragments on their own lines in digital contexts.
This way future edits or the ability to more easily cut and paste will far easier in addition to keeping your version control files simpler and easier to read and visually track your changes. (That is in many version control systems, instead of a change appearing to affect an entire paragraph, it will only show on the single line that was changed thereby making the change easier to see.)
This particular affordance may be a particularly useful one for note takers who expect to regularly reuse their notes in other contexts. Many forms of software (including Tex, LaTeX, and even markdown) will autowrap newlines so that a sentence broken up into clauses on multiple lines will properly wrap back into a proper looking single line when printed. Take care that in many Markdown versions adding two spaces at the end of a line will automatically create a newline in your text.

Literate programming worked beautifully until wegot to a stage where we wanted to refactor theprogram. The program structure was easy tochange, but it implied a radical change to thestructure of the book. There was no way we couldspend a great deal of time on restructuring thebook so we ended up with writing appendices andappendices to appendices that explained what wehad done. The final book became unreadable andonly fit for the dustbin.The lesson was that the textbook metaphor is notapplicable to program development. A textbook iswritten on a stable and well known subject whilea program is under constant evolution. Weabandoned literate programming as being toorigid for practical programming. Even if we got itright the first time, it would have failed in thesubsequent maintenance phases of the program’slife cycle.

Although the architect could code, as the title suggests, there are other ways for the architect to stay engaged with the delivery, such as pairing and peer reviews.
-
Rotating the architect role among different team members carries the benefit of increasing the overall team’s working architectural knowledge. Team members gain a better understanding of all the roles involved in delivery, leading to empathy between team roles, improved intra-team interaction, and a better overall product by diversifying the viewpoints applied to each role.

Similarly, when I ask other architects how much they’ve coded recently, more often than not I hear: “It’s been a while.”

David Alfonso has done a great job and put together a repository that helps you with the export of tiddlers. All you need is to export all your tiddlers bundled as one single HTML and then follow the instructions in the README.
TiddlyWikiPharo is capable of similar exportation and we start from the single HTML TW file that we can de/recompose almost at will, because we can manipulate the tiddlers inside a data narrative. As shown in the malleable systems wiki example, we're mostly focused in conversions from Markdown to WikiText (TW's format) as it is our most felt necessity, but migrations from WikiText to Markdown are in the radar, combining/extending TiddlyWikiPharo with Pandoc (future needs/funding will tell if/when is implemented).
-
After going down the Emacs rabbit hole, I’ve adopted ORG mode as my main file format for writing documents, exporting these to other formats (PDF, markdown, Confluence, Jira and many others), creating diagrams (mainly plantuml), presentations, writing technical documentation and hopefully some day for publishing a whole book. For the note-taking phase I write my notes in ORG mode and create a rudimentary outline sorted by chapters/sections. Usually I use the same structure to create my blog posts from (like I did in the book summaries). Extracting pieces of information for individual tiddlers, however, tends to be a time-intensive process. I’ve managed to use the Tiddlywiki API within Emacs but my Elisp skills are still not good for doing more advanced stuff like:
We, at the Grafoscopio community create a lot of projects (including presentations, book(lets) writing/republishing, workshops/reading notes) by connecting diverse contexts instead of keeping ourselves inside a single one. Of course, this single context would be possible on an individual level, but connecting different contexts gives account of the diversity of participants in our community and workshops. So we keep contexts limited, minimal and well connected (TW, Fossil, Pharo/GToolkit and Markdown tools like Zettlr or HedgeDoc) but not a single one.
It is the creation of fluent workflows between different tools, that account for different experiences and participants our way to deal with context friction instead of keeping ourselves inside a single context.
All the advanced usages of TW in the list items after this highlight are done inside the data narratives from TiddlyWikiPharo, as told in a previous note with a novice friendlier syntax (Smalltalk instead of Lisp).
-
It became not only my primary editor, but also my RSS feeds reader, mail client, YouTube video player, IDE, API client… I basically live in Emacs Here is my config.org and try to avoid as many context switches as possible.
My context switching friction decrease is related with the way I connect the contexts (for example TW + Glamorous Toolkit vía custom packages like TiddlyWikiPharo instead of being inside a unique context, particularly a text oriented one, with a pretty limited definition of text as it limits what our visual cortex is able to convey with richer text/visuals.

What does 'passing an argument' mean in programming?You have a grinder that will grind anything that you pass on to her. You give her Rice. She grind it. You give her wheat. She grind it. You give her a Justin Bieber song CD. She grind it. She grinds every thing that you hand over to her. In programming, we create function that does the stuff we need. Say add, subtract, multiply or print the stuff that you pass on to it. Then we pass on stuff upon which the function will operate and return us the results. This process of passing the 'stuff' to be processed is referred to as passing an 'argument' in programming. Thank You.
