The one with the Jedi? Yes, was wondering about that too. If you get through the trouble creating something like that you should really try to make it right.

Adjacent or opposite to the angle you’re referring to.

It’s Malificent. Technically, also a fairy.

Not necessarily even that. Piracy can benefit the developer by increasing popularity. Piracy made Bill Gates a billionaire despite his fighting tooth and nails against it.

The correct answer would have been: “Why should I? You’re an idiot.”

If you go back to my example, you’ll notice there is a UserUniqueValidator, which is meant to check for existence of a user.

Oops, right, I just glanced over the code and obviously missed the text and code had different class names. Another smell in my opinion, choosing class names that only differ in the middle. Easily missed and confusion caused.

I don’t think our opinions are too far off though. You’re just scaling the validation logic to realistic levels and I warn that in practice coders extrapolate too quickly and too often, which results in too much generic code which is naturally harder to understand and maintain than specific code.

I would argue that the validate routines be their own classes; ie UserInputValidator, UserPasswordValidator, etc.

I wouldn’t. Not from this example anyway. YAGNI is an important paradigm and introducing plenty of classes upfront to implement trivial checks is overengineering typical for Java and the reason I don’t like it.

Edit: Your naming convention isn’t the best either. I’d expect UserInputValidator to validate user input, maybe sanitize it for a database query, but not necessarily an existence check as in the example.

Millennials grew up alongside modern computing (meaning the two matured together). We dealt with everything from BASIC on a C64 to DOS and then through Windows 3 through current. We also grew up alongside Linux

Only the oldest millenials did. When the youngest were born, the internet and Windows 95 were readily available and they were in middle school when the iPhone came out.

The popularity of casinos and lotteries say otherwise.

Oddly satisfying

Yes, AI models break down when being fed AI garbage.

Someone needs to do it. But not me. That sounds like work.

Yeah. They usually pollinate my sweet toast in spring and my ham in late summer.

So the conclusion is venomous is a subset of poisonous and the movie totally watchable.

Can I be the house?

I just see it positively and choose to believe you’re in the process of transitioning to enlightenment (metric). ;)

If I only were twice as large I totally wouldn’t pet one

The current Wikipedia entry doesn’t even have the same picture (text checks out though).
