It is kind of sad to see whole project, which could be still useful, but for whatever reasons the company which started it gave up. #RedHat #Modularity

You know that there is something wrong with our #EconomicSystem and #society when #repairability and #modularity becomes a feature instead of a liability.

turns out lefty isn't too good at regeneration, but he doesn't really mind his situation. his caregiver has found much more use out of his old arms than he ever did!

This[1] has got me thinking: with the shift from #authorship to #contributorship[2], increasing #modularity[3] of academic outputs, and concepts such as #ContributorshipTables[4] helping us to be transparent about the extent/scope of contributions, when do we start adding peer reviewers as contributors on updated versions of #preprints that their input has contributed to?

@Sandbagger I'm glad you found that #ruby toy project interesting, the ogpreview was not meant for document #docker with #Rails, but mostly to demonstrate good practices such as Railway Oriented Programming in general and @dry_rb gems in particular.

Also, if you want to go a little bit deeper, you can check the repository for my talk in #RubyConf2022, where it was more about API input validations & in general and #modularity by accident:

Modular Synthesis and UNIX

"I’ve always loved strange and interesting music and sounds. For the last few months, I’ve been assembling a collection of patch cables and circuit boards on my desk which, when connected just right, can create anything from melodic sequences to fast, driving beats to wacky electronic soundscapes."

Modular Structures and Atomic Decomposition in Ontologies
(2020) : Vescovo, Chiara Del et al

#Flyvbjerg and Gordon's book on projects has a lot of insight about why #ComputerSystems and #IT projects fail so often ,but the most interesting point is the critical role of #modularity as the great David #Parnas pointed out a long time ago.

If you develop #java applications, vulnerabilities in 3rd party libraries are a concern.

The #owasp dependency check #gradle plugin can scan your classpaths for known vulnerabilities.

Learn how to do that, and how to react, in my latest #java #modularity video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4PyEmYotwk&list=PLWQK2ZdV4Yl2k2OmC_gsjDpdIBTN0qqkE

The natural tension in #libp2p is that of neutral modularity vs. the necessary structuring of the encapsulating program flow that lets the different modular pieces work together.

So for example, at least with this random implementation, to use bittorrent ( https://github.com/mattsse/libp2p-bittorrent-protocol/blob/master/examples/bittorrent.rs ) you have to use and generate a unique pubkey-based identity, and use that to connect (in this case explicitly): https://github.com/mattsse/libp2p-bittorrent-protocol/blob/e3e36680b58b85c9fdea06ad6b1ee98543e3f745/examples/bittorrent.rs#L19

And it looks like to use any of the other protocols/etc you similarly have to go through their handshaking and stream connection process, rather than being able to use them "standalone."

I have thus far mostly read through the docs since reading Go is really slow for me, so take that with a grain of salt - it could be possible to separate out all the pieces, but so far that isn't described in the docs.

On the modularity debate:

As the two of you are colleagues that I really respect, wanted to clarify something.

I understand that it could be felt that it's "swinging too far". Sure, but both sides feel that, so that in itself is interesting!

Second, I try (I'm sure I fail) to convey the ideas in terms of frameworks and potential research ideas. Not in terms of proving a point or facts (something that I have problems with in science).

To some localization and functional specificity feels natural, to others just the opposite. Brad put it best in his conclusion where (I hope I'm remembering right) the goal should be to explore and test both.
