DebugWare Patterns (Part 10)

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Many troubleshooting tools and their components (like TUW modules from checklists) reuse the same code over and over, for example, querying registry keys or environment variables. It is beneficial to have a package of supporting modules (or a library) for code reuse purposes, hence the name of this pattern, Supporting Module (SM). In the context of Checklist pattern we can refine its UML component diagram to highlight that TUWs are using some shared SM components:

Notes on Memoidealism (1.6)

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Although everything changes in the philosophy of Heraclitus, its Urstoff, fire, is eternal, indestructable. The same can be said about Memory and its memory fragments. Memoidealism has also some proximity with the notion of everlasting existence of thought of or spoken named objects in the philosophy of Parmenides. Once we think of or speak of something we immediately recall a memory fragment from and, at the same time, commit it to Memory again, perhaps as a different memory fragment, an assembled new memory trace.
