Composition VS Inheritance in stack's implementation

Image
To prefer composition over inheritance was the choice of many people I happen to learn a lot from, In many cases, it sounded natural and made sense. With composition, you ensure single responsibility and loosely coupled components of your software. However, if we think that inheritance means "Is A" and composition means "Has A", It's very hard in many cases to say that a Doctor has a Person instead of saying a Doctor is a person, I tried but I couldn't do it. Anyway, I'm here for a different reason, I'm here to talk about an example when I had to choose between composition and inheritance and why did I favor one over the other. When I started using dart it originally had no stack implementation, I decided to create it ( Give it a look here ) and I would need to re-use the functionality of the list class in Dart. Inheritance way Let's see, can I say that a stack is a list? maybe, I wouldn't say that in an exam as well as on any other occasion ...

Teaching programming to children can be evil sometimes, why? Before I start telling, this article is written to warn parents from being fooled by scammers. Not always an intentional scamming, to be honest. Also, this article is for developers who are interested in creating an open-source material for teaching basic computer concepts for children. Okay, not only developers. teachers, artists and movie makers all can collaborate. Anyone else isn't meant to continue reading unless they are just interested.

One of the judges was my mentor one day(His name is Kareem),  we were heading to Cairo in his car after the event and all of us were just describing how amazing those children are. Kareem: When the children went up to the stag...

Chatbots and self injury messages

Image
Some of the people who face some frustration or depression usually use their smartphones to try to get rid of negative energy. They start surfing facebook pointless, maybe they open youtube and seek for anything interesting. Some people actually talk to chatbots, we have Siri and okay google as famous and popular examples. The question is: Are those chatbots prepared to deal with them if they are willing to hurt themselves? I tried them with some messages and here is the response. I'm depressed Ok-Google acted so horrible and said (I'm sorry to hear that), No advice or further questions to see if it's a real or deep depression that may be worse if the person didn't act on it. To be honest, I had a hint that I can ask Ok-Google to cheer me up and the conversation can continue and I may find some joy. But, I hope if it was more caring and aware of how dangerous this may be. Siri: I'm sorry to hear that. I'm here if you want to talk. Well, is ...
