The MVC definition has been abused

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-13 17:26:44

Smalltalk MVC is defined in Design Pattern as: MVC Consists of three kinds of objects. The Model is the application object, the View is its screen presentation, and the Controller defines the way the user interface reacts to user input. However this definition has been abused over the years - Back in 2003 I gave a talk citing how bad Apple’s definition was. At the time it stated: A view object knows how to display and possibly edit data from the application’s model… A controller object acts a

William James at CERN Some Examples of Selection in Minds and Computers 1. William James Principles of Psychology This is obviously true of action. Whatever views your views on free will, it is indubitable that differing options occur to us, that we compare them, that we prefer some to others, that eventually we elect one and dismiss the rest.

Stop writing CLI validation. Parse it right the first time

I have this bad habit. When something annoys me enough times, I end up building a library for it. This time, it was CLI validation code. See, I spend a lot of time reading other people's code. Open source projects, work stuff, random GitHub repos I stumble upon at 2 AM. And I kept noticing this thing: every CLI tool has the same ugly validation code tucked away somewhere.

Anonymous recursive functions in Racket

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-10 21:39:33

Anonymous recursive functions in Racket Context Some languages, like PowerShell, have “anonymous recursive functions”. That is, normally, a function needs to use a name to refer to itself to recur. But “anonymous recursion” means the language has some special mechanism by which the function can refer to itself without having to explicitly introduce a name. In some contexts, this is called an anaphoric reference. Code Here we show how we can easily implement this feature in Racket. The file a

Technologists and policymakers are reckoning with a generation-defining problem on the internet: while it can be a revolutionary force for unprecedented education and connection across the globe, it can also pose dangers to children when they have completely unfettered access. There is no simple way, however, to monitor children’s internet access without surveilling adults, paving the way for disastrous online privacy violations.

Screen recording was first introduced with iOS 11, finally providing an easy way to capture what’s on your screen without using a computer. Since then, the resolution of those recordings has been limited to a maximum of 1920px in either height or width. This means that all modern iPhones have recorded at 884×1920, which on an iP

For a brief moment, it looked like US travelers might finally get automatic cash when an airline's own problems wrecked their plans. The Department of Transportation, under former President Joe Biden, drafted a rule requiring carriers to pay passengers at least $200 and up to $775 for the longest holdups. The compensation would cover meals, hotels, ground transport and rebooking when disruptions were within the airline's control. But no longer. On Sept. 5, the Trump administration's DOT offici
