As a Java engineer in the web development industry for several years now, having heard multiple times that X is good because of SOLID principles or Y is bad because it breaks SOLID principles, and having to memorize the "good" ways to do everything before an interview etc, I find it harder and harder to do when I really start to dive into the real reason I'm doing something in a particular way.

One example is creating an interface for every goddamn class I make because of "loose coupling" when in reality none of these classes are ever going to have an alternative implementation.

Also the more I get into languages like Rust, the more these doubts are increasing and leading me to believe that most of it is just dogma that has gone far beyond its initial motivations and goals and is now just a mindless OOP circlejerk.

There are definitely occasions when these principles do make sense, especially in an OOP environment, and they can also make some design patterns really satisfying and easy.

What are your opinions on this?

It’s one of the most significant economic cases to reach the Supreme Court in years – the blockbuster battle over Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs – but the nation’s largest companies are sitting on the sidelines.

The battle to stop Trump’s tariffs is being waged by a group of small businesses – including a family-owned toymaker in Illinois and a New York-based wine importer. They have advanced the case to the nation’s highest court even as their larger and better-known competitors have remained notably silent.

The lack of public input from major US companies on the docket of a Supreme Court appeal with potentially vast consequences for their bottom line and the economy as a whole is unusual and likely based at least in part on a fear of retribution from the White House, multiple people involved with the case and outside experts said.

Understanding and debugging Python data structures gets easier with memory_graph visualization. Here's a Multiway Tree example. A Multiway Tree is similar to a Binary Tree but has an arbitrary number of children making the tree less deep and more efficient.

The Ontario government is aggressively withholding key details about its large stockpile of American alcohol products, valued at approximately $79.1 million at cost, that were pulled from store shelves as an act of retaliation in the ongoing Canada-U.S. trade dispute.

In August, CBC News filed a freedom-of-information request to the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO), seeking the fate, size and disposal plans for U.S. alcohol products removed in March. The LCBO took 64 days to respond — 34 days longer than the 30-day limit allowed by law.

When the documents were finally released, they spanned 50 pages, but were heavily redacted. Most of the information about how much inventory is at risk of expiring, how much has already been destroyed and the total cost to taxpayers remains hidden.

“Q3 was a strong quarter,” Huffman said on Thursday’s earnings call, in which he lauded Reddit as being “for humans by humans” and seemed to take a subtle dig at AI slop (the low-quality AI content clogging corners of the internet): “Reddit is in a unique position; we’re not trying to be the next anything. We’re focused on being the best version of ourselves and what the internet needs most: a place where people can connect on almost any topic and find genuinely useful information.”

Winnipeg is about to put new limits on where people who are homeless can sleep outdoors —restrictions that could change the face of encampments across the city.

As of Nov. 17, people will no longer be allowed to set up tents within 50 metres of playgrounds, splash pads, pools or daycares, or within 30 metres of transit stops, bridges and docks.

Not everyone at city hall supports the approach.

Fort Rouge-East Fort Garry Coun. Sherri Rollins — whose ward includes the Mostyn Park area — says the rules may simply push people from one place to another.

"You can see that migration … whether along the Assiniboine [River], or they've now moved behind every single business in Osborne Village," Rollins said.

Okay so Lucifer obviously upset his sky-daddy, is demoted from being an angel permanently, is cast down to rule an entire sector of the afterlife called Hell which we come to know where all damned souls go after they die.

What is the logic of God practically awarding Lucifer an entire realm for him to rule on his own and nearly contest God's power?

That's like imprisoning someone to home confinement when they live in a mansion.
