Test should be as simple as possible and test one thing, the single assert principle. Larger tests are a maintenance nightmare.

I think the real problem is not about how they're named, but it's in this line: > We want to create objects that describe what they are, and then bind behavior to them, rather than focus on what they do, and then figure out what data they'll need to do that. It has more to do with Single Responsibility Principle....

Hmm.... Looks like a pretty big security issue to me. Yes, It would be nice to be able to access my local console/programs from anywhere.... however, I didn't see any sort of login screen come into play with these videos. I don't know that I like the idea of having an open door like this.

These are two separate problems, you have the problem of a misplaced bracket, and a problem of a missing bracket. Forgetting to close the bracket will be caught, while the misplaced bracket will have the same problem as the python example. In python you can't detect **either** of these cases. > finding a } can be l...

the point was that if you **forgot** to put the closing bracket, you'd get a syntax error, while forgetting to indent in python compiles fine. Putting a closing bracket in a wrong spot is a different scenario, which is indeed equivalent in both cases.

That's cool. A few years back I wrote a toy interpreter for such a language, too, just trying to see what programming in it would be like.

I don't know why you're being downvoted - this is objectively and fundamentally true. Every option setting is a design choice that the developer is not making. That may be a good thing or a bad thing, but it is certainly true.

What makes you think good design is "catering to the lowest common denominator"? My personal experience is that the very definition of good design is catering for something other than the lowest common denominator. Crap design is the opposite. Option-itis is the abrogation of design responsibility altogether.

Thin clients can have the CPU done on a remote system with more resources. This is a display console not where the CPU work is being done. There is still a "point" with gimp, as there is the is the IOS and android architecture that could benefit from doing the work on a larger, more powerful back end.
