So, accepted dogma about object oriented design says that inheritance of implementations is bad, and multiple inheritance of implementations is worst of all. (This is why Java won't even let you do it). On the other hand, delegation is good, and dependency injection is good, because they let you keep your classes simple and decoupled.
Now, suppose you have a dependency injection framework that will provide your class with any other classes it asks for in its constructor. And suppose your language provides an easy delegation method, in which a class can automatically delegate to all the public methods of one of its fields.
At this point, a class can declare a list of other classes whose implementation it will use for some of its methods. How is this different from multiple inheritance?

Listening to the In Our Time about Dante's Inferno today reminded me of just what a vile little book it is.
(This has been Bloglet's "I Hate Your Art" segment for September. See you again in October, I guess.)

One of the small pleasures of this summer, for me, is knowing that Quentin Tarantino and Lars "Von" Trier both have movies out, and relishing the fact that I don't have to see either of them.

At thesixtyone, artists submit songs and people using the site can vote for the ones they like. It seems to have some good music on it.

Moon was great. I kept being afraid that it was going to become either too clichéd or too arty, and it kept avoiding it. Good SF in that the science fiction setting was essential to the story without overwhelming it. Also, Sam Rockwell is very funny.

I've just started using Git as my version control system for personal projects, so I needed to migrate my existing repositories over from Subversion. Turns out there's an easy way to do this, and it will even integrate cleanly with the Subversion repository if I want to keep using it. (I'd been using a combination of Subversion and Bazaar before, but Git seems to be emerging as the popular winner in the DVCS world. Which is to say: I wanted a Github account like all the cool kids.)

The most powerful revolutionary sentiment is not "let us unite to overthrow the old order" but "let's try this for a little bit and see if it works".

Data.gov is creating a searchable catalog of datasets compiled by various government agencies. There's a lot of fascinating and useful stuff out there--hopefully this will make it easier to find. Good stuff.

Internet Explorer adds spacing around <hr> tags that can be surprisingly hard to get rid of with CSS. The trick is to add a display: block style to the <hr> tag, as explained in this very helpful blog post.

If you have Firefox 3 with the Adblock extension, and some Flash content mysteriously fails to work for you, it's because of Adblock. It fails to show anything in <object> tags, regardless of whether it's supposed to be blocked or not. The fix is to uninstall it and use Adblock Plus instead. Adblock Plus is also better just in general. I recommend it if you don't like ads and would rather not see them any more.
