My kid 11yo has a blood phobia. I asked Twitter for suggestions for action/adventure/scifi/fantasy/comedy movies that are suitable for a 9 and 11 yo who like Star Wars and Back to the Future.

Below are the movies people have suggested. They often did so from memory, and I haven't validated if they are indeed suitable. However, I learned about this site where you can lookup if a moview has blood or other phobia-inducing content: https://www.doesthedogdie.com/

Well I know Simon's ideas on the matter, that's why I was asking for yours. I haven't given it enough thought to have strong opinions but here's a quick attempt:

Similar: Models and maps both consists of abstractions. The abstractions are chosen, for a purpose, in a context.

Different: Models are conceptual. Models are not just tools for understanding, they are understanding. I can draw or code or somehow express a model, but it's only a representation of an underlying model, not the model itself.

Landscapes and maps are physical. The symbols on the map are linked to things in the landscape. You don't visualize a map, the visualisation is the map.

<?php
// Context: I'm trying to argue that DI (and DIC) are great, and DIC libs suck. 
// Happy to be proven wrong!

final class Router {
    private $dependencies;
    public function __construct (Dependencies $dependencies) {
        $this->dependencies = $dependencies;
        // You might say that this is Service Locator, but it's not. This router is toplevel,
        // and toplevel must have access to dependencies. After that it can all just bubble nicely using proper DI.

Step 0:

Get Homebrew installed on your mac if you don't already have it

Step 1:

Install highlight. "brew install highlight". (This brings down Lua and Boost as well)

Step 2:
