Subtopic: systems depend on domain
Quote: generalize a system only as necessary; it should have a medium level of generality [»akscRM5_1984] Quote: an interface should capture the minimum essentials of an abstraction, without generalization [»lampBW10_1983] Quote: consensus design encouraged too many requirements and generalized designs [»corbFJ_1979] Quote: in Multics an elaborate macroassembler failed; replaced by a simple, primitive assembler [»corbFJ_1979] Quote: a general-purpose system can not optimize the use of resources; too easy to overload the system and degrade service by thrashing [»lampBW10_1983] Quote: often better to use a straightforward, brute force solution that is easily analyzed, than a poorly understood one [»lampBW10_1983] Quote: if in doubt, split resources instead of sharing them; faster allocation and access, more predictable [»lampBW10_1983] Quote: a functional design leads to a virtually unlimited wish list of features [»joneTC4_1979b]
Subtopic: many specific vs. few general
Quote: producing valid systems is a domain dependent activity [»blumBI8_1985]
Subtopic: model vs. application
Quote: many programming constructs, may be better than one or two general-purpose constructions [»greeTR_1980]
QuoteRef: seedH_1971 ;; [cbb: RPG very good for simple problems by gets very complicated very fast
