Why dead sea scrolls considered as a revolutionary finding? what did they reveal? why they are so important to understand christianity origins? can someone explain please?
in our mid sized startup, we have over 100 android engineers on one app, divided by squads, so we have a lot of squads, each one is working on a feature, a library needed, design system and custom components libraries etc, all these modules/libraries are published to maven and added as dependencies on the core app repo, my squad works on an isolated feature so it's easy to integrate into core app repo, but i attended guild meetings and saw RFCs mentioning circular dependencies, hexagonal, onion, plugin etc architectures because some modules/libraries depend on each other, communicate with each other, initialization order problems of modules etc etc etc, i feel stupid tbh and i'm glad i'm working on an isolated feature library in which we use usual architecture stuff. anyone has resources: talks, books, articles etc that cover this kind of topics and architectures and engineering problems in big scale apps with big scale teams and modules/libraries?
what annoys me is the naive leftists in the US and Europe who think only blacks were enslaved not knowing islamic empires enslaved white caucasians from Eastern Europe (ottoman empire), Spanish, Portuguese and south French white caucasians (umayyad empire + my berber ancestors who got the islam virus like almoravids, almohad empires), besides many races like my berbers ancestors themselves, egyptians, persians, blacks etc.
i heard about some claimed findings in yemen pre war like inscriptions etc that demonstrate a very monotheistic yemen before islam with words like al rahman which exist in the quran?
any concrete studies on this? and is yemen so important for further findings? anyway i hope peace to be in the country.
is المشركين (those who associate partners with God) was meant for trinity christians in hijaz?
i mean the word means in arabic literally associating with god, so he's addressing obviously people who believe on god of monotheism + associating others, what others? jesus and holy spirit? i feel this sounds more logical depending on the arabic meaning of the word than polytheists. is there any scholar who interpret it as i do?
I'm not asking how to implement MVVM, MVI or Clean Architecture — I use all three daily. I'm also not asking "which of the three is best."
What I'm after is the wider *landscape* of architectural patterns, the way general software engineering has a whole body of literature on them, plus how to reason about picking one.
Concretely, I'm thinking at two levels:
- **Presentation / UI layer:** MVC, MVP, MVVM, MVI and unidirectional data flow, VIPER, RIBs, Elm/TEA-style, explicit state machines.
- **Application / system level:** layered n-tier, Clean Architecture, Hexagonal (Ports & Adapters), Onion, package-by-feature vs package-by-layer, feature modularisation, plugin/host architectures, event-driven and CQRS-flavoured designs.
What I'd love resources on:
**A map of the field** — what these patterns actually are, where they came from, and how they relate. Which are the same idea renamed, which are genuinely different.
**Trade-offs** — what each one optimises for and what it costs: indirection, boilerplate, build times, onboarding, testability, cost of refactoring later.
**Decision criteria** — how to pick one for a given app: domain complexity, team size and number of teams, expected lifetime, single app vs multi-module vs a library shipped to other teams, offline/sync needs, how much real business logic exists versus UI plumbing.
**Case studies and postmortems** — teams describing what they chose, why, and what they'd do differently.
Books, papers, conference talks, blog series or open-source codebases with a written rationale all welcome. It doesn't have to be Android-specific — most of this predates Android anyway.
For context: I work on a multi-module feature library that ships as an AAR into a much larger app, so boundary and ownership questions matter to me as much as UI-layer ones.
TL;DR: not "how do I do MVI", but "here is the space of architectural patterns, and here's how to choose between them."
i've read somewhere that the quran Salat vocabulary is mainly borrowed from Aramaic-speaking Jewish and Christian religious world, so does the quran speaks to these monotheists people who already know about the practice? and what studies, evidence and theories exist on this by scholars?
after this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/1vjuwa9/why_mocking_clean_architecture_in_this_sub/
i realized that there is no 1 way to architecture your app, it depends on your app needs, so i'm wondering if there are any good resources on this aspect like we have for system design or nothing exist?
in my opinion the world cup is the hardest competition ever.
- you lose one game for whatever reason and you're out for 4 years not like champions league.
- you can't guarantee talent in next world cup, unlike clubs which improve their lineup each year by signings, nations hope their national players will be playing in big clubs and doing well which is not guaranteed.
- you can't have consistent team every 4 years/8 years/12 years unlike clubs which build their teams to be consistent over next 4/5 seasons at least.
- injuries and fitness right before the world cup especially important players.
if you agree, the keyboard is yours to add other reasons.
does the quran give the steps of prayer (salat) as we know it today? or it just mentions salat without any guides?
is the monotheist movement theory hold up when examining the quran itself? i remember quran separating itself from jews and christians by mentioning them straight up.

i genuinely want to know why people here mocking clean architecture? i used it in all companies i worked on. is there a reason? an alternative? i'm curious to know and learn.
there is this historian scholar named Ramzi Rouighi who's a Professor of Middle East Studies and History at the University of Southern California, and serves as Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Middle East Studies department. he has a book called Inventing the Berbers: History and Ideology in the Maghrib, has anyone read it? if yes, what do you think about it?
i don't know if you noticed this but all the 3 abrahamic religions started from middle east, nothing similar to them (biblical stories, purpose of life etc) in americas or Scandinavia or japan. how scholars engage with this coincidence? i mean, are there academic studies on this?
I found this book called The great secret of Islam a while ago when i was watching tom holland documentary which opened my eye for the first time on historical critical method of islam, i had it bookmarked and now i'm thinking of reading it because of its catchy name but i'm not sure if it's worth it since the author is not a scholar, and maybe give my time for more grounded books?
if anyone read it and think it's a waste of time, please give me his theory or conclusion or summary.
i mean studying shi'a sources from scholars will give an alternative perspective contemporary to early sunni era with their own tradition that may fill some gaps or shed light on some quranic or early islam interpretations.
first, here's the surah:
Surah Al-Ikhlas (Chapter 112)
what historical critical scholars think about these verses, in tradition, this was revealed in response of opponents asking for god's lineage/ancestry or something similar. but in my humble opinion as an ordinary person not a scholar or expert i think it was a speech towards christians. i'd love to see HCM scholars reading of this.
What's the earliest tafsir we have currently? i'm asking because the famous ones were 300 years after muhammad's death so obviously they don't catch the old hijazi arabic meaning. is there any other tafsir earlier closer to the period of muhammad? maybe if it exists it might have closer meaning to the hijazi arabic.
