Inheritance Considered Harmful (PDF)

Inheritance Considered Harmful (PDF) 01/14/2003 11:24 AM
It could also be argued that inheritance falls into the class of programming language features which are accepted and instigated without thorough analysis, only to be subsequently rejected when experience has shown them to be unhelpful. It would appear that encapsulation is more relevant and applicable than inheritance, and its benefits to the maintenance process are more obvious. In [12], it is suggested that in future systems, architectures based on aggregation will be more appropriate than those based on inheritance. This is particularly true of systems incorporating multiple inheritance whose structures have tended to be elaborately concocted... Lastly, contrary to what was originally thought, it may be that most OO systems are simply not amenable to the use of inheritance, and their functionality does not lend itself well to use of inheritance. -- Rachel Harrison and Steve Counsell

"tri" Not an easy article to read, but basicly it's saying complex inheritance trees (more than 3 levels in depth?) are difficult to maintain, and many designs use inheritance inappropriately. That is why the big thing in C# and Java today is generics, and why I was such a fan of templates in C++, even if the syntax was terrible. PHP has less need for generics because most of its operators and functions are polymorphic (thx to dynamic typing).

The result of this determination was the PowerPC 970, which was a 12 to 18 month collaborative effort between IBM and Apple and provided a far better solution than moving to Intel's architecture. The article notes that "IBM has committed to provide several generations...

I've played with my GPRS connection for a few days now. It really doesn't work very well at all, at least not here in Los Angeles or with my phone or with my usage. And yes, the phone is reporting decent coverage when GPRS doesn't quite work. Sometimes ssh works alright (with the ~1 second lag), but sadly it's not very consistent. Packet loss has occasionally been 20-30%, enough to combined with Other Factors make ssh not able to even...

New Domains Considered Harmful, Says Tim
Berners-Lee

New Domains Considered Harmful, Says Tim
Berners-Lee 05/19/2004 01:14 PM
As lots of folks are pushing to get ICANN to expand the number of top level domains (so people an get more than just .com, .net, etc.), Tim Berners-Lee is argung against the idea, saying that current proposals are really just a racket to get more money out of companies. The original idea was that the domain name space (really just the .com space) was getting too crowded and good names were increasingly difficult to come by. However, instead of really expanding the market, adding .biz and .info mostly just made companies feel the need to buy up the same domains they already owned the .com for. If anything, he considers it domain "inflation" - devaluing existing domains. He is particularly against the idea of a .mobi domain name specifically for wireless content, agreeing with us that there's really no need for it and it will make things more confusing. Increasingly, mobile phones and devices are able to access the entire internet without any problems. There's no reason they need a specific separate TLD all their own. He's also against the idea of the .xxx domain, pointing out (as always) that figuring out exactly what is porn is quite subjective. That's true, but as long as no one is forced into the .xxx domain, it might make sense for certain sites that want the domain. He's not entirely against new TLDs, but wants them to have a specific purpose - such as mapping to telephone numbers, which some groups have proposed as well.

Here's an inspired rant in favor of Ikea ("If your life is mediocre, I promise you, Ingvar Kamprad didn't make it that way. You did.") and Starbucks:

I am also old enough to remember the swill that Americans drank and were pleased to call "coffee" before Howard Schultz swept down out of his damp PNW redoubt and clusterbombed us with franchises. It tasted like soggy cardboard, it was served in chipped diner porcelain that itself generally tasted of soap, and most importantly, with a very few exceptions, it was all you could get anywhere.
