May. 15th, 2006 01:03 pm1. NSA trying to make sense out if it.
So, NSA is trying to automatically get the meaning of the messages and the talks sent around. I have a challenge for them. Let them try to learn to parse captchas - from Google, from Livejournal, whatever.
2. Encapsulaton vs Normalization
If you have an object, it's okay to hold tons of data in that object, right?
In SQL, it is considered stupid; you are supposed to have simple tables. Wy not in the code?
Incapsulation?
How is it that in the code a model of a physical object has a lot of plain properties, while in SQL the object's properities are thinly spread around the whole database, so that an object is not as important by itself, but rather by its relationships with other objects.
How come relationships are not that important in the code?
In the code we have some nouns and tons of verbs. Like in English. In SQL we have adjectives, adjectives, adjectives. Descriptions of nature. Like in a XIX century Russian novel.
I don't know who is right here.
