You really should be ashamed of that one! :sigh: wow!

When they came for the ASM programmers, I said nothing. Who needs ASM if you have C? When they came for the Cobol programmers, I said nothing. I can't even write in Cobol. When they came for the VB6 programmers, I said nothing. VB6 is an ex-parrot for over 20 years. When they come for me, There will be no one who can say anything. An empty office, except for ChatGPT.

I think the real answer is unfortunately yes it goes in the UI. What happens is that the start up does it that way because it is quick. And they keep doing it quick even after they have funding. And even after they start hacking the DTOs into morphed states that make it confusing as to what is going on (or even where the DTOs live in the code stack.) Then 5 years in when the application becomes large then everyone complains about why the interfaces are not clean but no one, and I mean no one, wants to do the major refactor that would be required to separate the different functional units (and provide appropriate DTOs for each.) Of course eventually, if the company lasts, then it gets so big that the have to re-write major portions. ...but they want to do that quick.

I also realized what I've done after setting a breakpoint there. Advertise here – minimum three posts per day are guaranteed.

At the end of the day the thing low code cannot do is "be a developer" I think. What happens in low code if you make, with its help, an error of intent instead of function? That is, "it worked as designed" but the design was wrong? When you have developers, you say "Oh, you guys got the design wrong. We meant ." (Kidding, mostly) You (as a developer) go do data-doctoring and maybe take care of some other adhoc processes that need to spin off and happen as a result of the issue. In low code? Do you just start pursuing creating those tasks in low code? How do you even know the need exists?

The discussion is subjective as was the opinion of the columnist to which I referred. But as an authoritative opinion (as a columnist) the argument did provide a specific rationalization. trønderen wrote: int x, *y; I don't code using that form. And I very, very seldom see it used or even a case where it might be used. So as a rationalization for doing it all the time it does not seem to be very valid.

PIEBALDconsult wrote: Then explain how StringBuilder works. Huh? Because it is a different class of course. Other than that I suggest you look at the Java API source code, which I have. You will find that StringBuilder is entirely written in Java. PIEBALDconsult wrote: "why did they choose to implement the VM that way?" Strings are intrinsic part of modern programming languages. That was known before java was created. Other than that I can only guess that given that the the class file itself would have needed some kind of unique identifier regardless of how it was implemented. So using a String value for that perhaps was just convenient. PIEBALDconsult wrote: is hitting the issue with too big a hammer. Yes but that isn't the point. The type 'String' is part of the VM definition. It is not well defined in the specification. For that matter the entirety of the VM/Java specification is not very well done. It still has errors in it today which have existed since the very first version. (For examples of well done specifications look to the ANSI C and C++ specifications.) But even if it had been better specified it would have been "very short-sighted" to allow it to be mutable. PIEBALDconsult wrote: that a string value will be mutable until it is set to immutable At a minimum that would have required at least one and perhaps several features in the Java Spec and VM Spec. I am not even sure it would be possible. I say that because consider how one can access private data members via JNI or even reflection. Certainly with my understanding of security matters I would say that I would not like to see accessing it that way. (I note that I suspect it is possible to hack a C/JNI solution that would allow one to make a String mutable, but it would be VM version dependent and would require an extreme amount of spelunking and would be very difficult to change the length of the string versus just characters in the string.)

I am just making the jump into Arduino myself. I bought one of the Elegoo kits (Arduino clone), and it seems to come with plenty of documentation plus online resources. I haven't seen any of the USB driver issues that get mentioned, but I am just starting, so I can't say it won't. Money makes the world go round ... but documentation moves the money.

Indeed, I got the feeing we’re being trolled, or punked, at least.

People who haven't traveled for work often think it sounds glamorous and can't fathom why anyone would complain about doing it. They don't understand what an absolute pain in the ass air travel is and how seeing hotel rooms in many countries is not the same as being on a vacation. I stopped consulting shortly after 9/11 because after that, travel became unbearable. I don't know any headhunters in the tri-state area, but if you're interested in freelancing, I have been using a new site that is only for freelance developers, and the hiring companies are vetted so you don't get the people that are looking to build a world class website for $1.50. They also have a guide for getting started in freelancing, in case you're interested. Check it out here. https://subspace.net/guide-to-freelancing[^]
