Indeed, this seems to be the insight around vertical slice architecture? https://www.jimmybogard.com/vertical-slice-architecture/

New comment by bordercases in "Parasites are everywhere. Why do so few researchers study them?"

bordercases — Thu, 01 Aug 2024 16:37:33 +0000

If parasites were widespread amongst human beings, would those infected humans have incentive to study them?

We are likely biased and can't imagine how we are biased because of the infection! Yet the over-under for an individual is clear: try the medication and find out!

Yeah it's essentially a way to reflect parsimonious assumptions so that your output distribution can be characterized as a law.

Many of these arguements are moot – because for any top-down function definition technique, the How to Design Programs recipe covers virtually all the bases.

- https://course.ccs.neu.edu/cs2500f18/design_recipe.html - https://cs110.students.cs.ubc.ca/reference/design-recipes.ht... - https://docs.racket-lang.org/htdf/index.html

Between a signature, purpose statement and examples, you've declared most of what documentation provides short of a longer contextual statement of the functions role in a codebase.

For larger modules there is How to Design Worlds.

New comment by bordercases in "Ask HN: 30y After 'On Lisp', PAIP etc., Is Lisp Still "Beating the Averages"?"

bordercases — Wed, 05 Jun 2024 05:44:04 +0000

Greenspan's tenth law is that every language ends up with a half baked Common Lisp implementation. This is apparently true, with the stipulo that these implementations end up fully baked over time. This is true since functional programming languages are commonly research languages which mean industry languages catch up.

> Presumably if publishers were actually pressuring Microsoft to make a child-safe device, they'd have come up with a more advanced protection mechanism than that.

They did. For the next generation. They updated their model of "child safe".

The arguments against planned obsolescence are partially environmental. If planned obsolescence isn't going away, at least this aspect is improved. Consider medical disposables, or one-time packaging that still requires medium term storage survivability.
