Fortunately, the problem of having to share a single Storyboard file has been eliminated in the last month's Xcode 7 / iOS 9 release, with the addition of Storyboard References.

Now, developers have a first-class solution to connecting separate Storyboards files, in a Storyboard. This gives you the ability to scale the number of Storyboard files you have in your project. If you're having too many merge conflicts on the same Storyboard file, you can break up your Storyboards into more files.

That said, I'll concede and say that the single biggest problem with Storyboards is that it doesn't work well with text-based CVS, namely Git. Sure, fine.

...but, Storyboards offer a few HUGE advantages (all of which can't be replicated by anything else):

-Storyboards are the single best way to document your UI and application flow. If you do all of your UI implementation in code, it makes it near impossible to determine these things without following a 'run it and check it' approach. In Storyboards, you can visually see UI designs in a GUI environment, as GUIs should be displayed.

-Storyboards mean less code. You're not maintaining constraint objects and configuration details. All of that is contained in the Storyboards. In my all-Storyboards projects, I'd say the codebase is 15-20% smaller.

-Storyboards allow for quicker iteration cycles. You can align a button by changing a slider value, as opposed to tweaking a constant and continuously recompiling + running the actual app.

-Storyboards allow for more effective UI design. You can see your UI, as you design it. This, opposed to trying to take a design mock and blindly replicating it in code.

So, my perspective on Storyboards is that, if you're willing to sacrifice a certain amount of 'code review blindness', you stand to gain far more in the day-to-day and long-run of your project.
How could some engineers cheat the entire VW corporation?

Germans are known for their ridiculously meticulous standards and testing. VW should have many in-house and external-independent labs performing tests.

The engineers who write the ECU code have a great distance from the mechanics who test every engine and car batch from their production line.

How did they never tested and engine entirely; power, emissions, consumption?

You may fool the regulators but you can't fool your own mechanics.
That looks neat. But it also looks to me like your error variant has the wrong arity.

def charge_customer({:error, err}), do: {:error, err}
def charge_customer({:ok, cart}, card) do

The first one takes a single argument {:error, err}, but the second one takes two arguments, {:ok, cart} and card.

Same issue with the keyword list version, your error function doesn't take a keyword list at all, just the {:error, err} argument.

Even Ben Bernanke says we should have jailed banking executives after 2008.

In case you're not being purposefully obtuse, you can watch about how the reams of evidence of criminal behavior (you know, of actual written-down crimes) was ignored by the justice department (you know, the same agency that is pursuing this case), via PBS Frontline: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/untouchables/

Frontline, was able to find direct evidence of executive criminality with just a cursory investigation (with no power of subpoena). The excuses coming out of the justice department's mouthpiece were so laughable, that he resigned the day after the piece went to air.

There's a two-tier system in place here, and crimes like defacing a website causing a paltry amount of damage, although real, should be the crimes the justice department ignores if they're not able to apply justice to all crimes fairly and evenly.

Presumably there are a couple of engineers who deserve some of the blame, but wow, what better way to say "Our culture is poison". Both because they're throwing independent contributors under the bus, and because he's saying the culture is such that the engineers would think it's OK.

To be fair, I think he might not have meant it to come out that way.

EDIT: Looking again at the article, it seems like the US CEO isn't even aware of this: "The German automaker has suspended 10 senior managers, including three top engineers, as part of its internal investigation." So VW doesn't necessarily have a poisonous culture. But they do have a US CEO who doesn't prepare when he testifies to Congress.

>You don't have to take advantage of every opportunity.

That's irrelevant. The point is, strategies like, "always have cash on hand to take advantage of opportunities" don't really make sense, because the more you do of one means the less you can do of the other.

This is economics in a nutshell; determining the tradeoffs between two scarce resources, in this case cash and "opportunities". The solution isn't "more of both" unless the resources are infinite.

That is not a tautology.

A tautology is "a statement that is true by necessity or by virtue of its logical form."

That statement may be "obvious" but it is not a tautology.

"More x are used when there are more x" is not a tautology. It is often true, but it is not a logical necessity.
Seattle is a godless soulless husk of what it once was, attitudes that spawn things like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keep_the_Bastards_Out didn't win out. Try living in Utah for a while (as a real or pretend Mormon of course) if you want to see what real culture and community tastes like even in 2015.

I work in Seattle but I'll never live in the city proper. The rest of King County, excepting the south side, is at least a decent and modestly priced ($900/month single bed apartment) place to live even if it has no soul. Unfortunately it won't last, Bellevue is in the same place Seattle was not too long ago.

Sorry you missed the context. Per the comment, please read my other post which provides a good primer on high level detail and perhaps do some research on Engineered Materials vs Monolithic Materials.

I'll also provide a bit more detail here:
Monolithic materials, such as ordinary metals or plastics are substantially the same in all directions. You can work with them by getting the basic info on their properties, and then design and cut them from any direction. Other than edge cases pushing the limits where you have to watch for grain effects in some metals, you can cut it and shape it any way you like.

In contrast, for engineered materials, at the most basic level, their properties are HIGHLY directional. The cool thing about this is that it means that we can put the strength exactly where it is needed, and omit the strength (and weight) where it is not needed.

BUT, this means that these materials MUST be engineered. The designer MUST understand the details of the loads and load paths, and design the material to handle it. The fabricator MUST follow those designs exactly in hundreds of parameters. Otherwise, the part will fail.

On the good side, it is not unusual for us to beat the performance of aluminum by 40-50%.

On the bad side, it would not be hard to make a carbon part that appears massively overbuilt, heavier and thicker than steel, yet would fail catastrophically.

(note that this is just the most basic level, and overlooks issues of the many types and grades of carbon or the hundreds of types of epoxy, chemistries, cure rates, bonding, inserts, etc., and their appropriate application.)

Carbon Fiber is most definitely NOT "just fancy plastic" or 'black aluminum', and that assumption is wrong and can be very dangerous.

(ironically, I agree with many of your other points, but that assumption really needs to be put to rest)
I'll echo this, and I've lived in the neighborhood for 23 days shy of 10 years.

It is far from clear that such a course of action is effective. Decision-making is rarely improved by inaccurate information. The belief that global poverty is worsening could easily lead to the conclusion that the problem is intractable, or that our efforts to reduce poverty are not in fact effective; conversely, the belief that poverty is being reduced can lead to the conclusion that what we are doing is effective, and we should do more of it.

"'That was one of several names that I used, but it wasn't locked down, it wasn't registered and it looks like somebody did use it. It was connected to an IP address that wasn't mine. The FBI agent admitted that he didn't have any records of [that IP address].'"

I'm glad you're having a good time, but people in central Seattle are sensitive to the fact that the neighborhood that has been a cradle for so much culture is being made into the party district for nearby corporate villages - Amazon being the biggest offender.

What a classic terrible management move. I worked at a ski shop in college that also sold (really bad) used ski equipment on eBay. One time the lead manager accidentally let a lot of stock go live with a $1 minimum. They realized it and went back in under different accounts and bid them all up. When eBay caught them, they blamed the employees for it (myself and 4 others), who all had nothing to do with it.

We all quit the next day. Who wants to work for someone like that?
Most 'software guys' have academic backgrounds in computer science, which typically doesn't include anything like engineering ethics.

The savings account (liquid emergency cash account) is sort of like life insurance. It depends on how risk averse you are and lifestyle. For example if you are older and have a family (ie kids) and a more expensive lifestyle you might want to have more cash on hand. This is similar to life insurance where if your young and have no kids there is really little reason to get it. There are many times in my life I have had less $1000.00.

Regardless less than $1000.00 on hand for emergency for the majority is disturbing.

>s it a surprise when more of your graduates are foreign students?

This isn't a case of merely an increase in foreign student PhD's. It's that the degrees are primarily foreign students, even though as your link shows, they are a minority of students on campus.

Side note, I love that they decided to show the distance scale on the map.
> You seem to have ignored his second point. Yes, it applies to undergraduate degrees, but undergraduate degrees are attractive to residents as well. An undergraduate degree is helpful for getting a good job, whereas a Ph.D doesn't doesn't do much in that regard.

That's a fair point but I'm not sure the conclusion is necessarily the right one. The US has some of the best universities in the world. It makes sense, if they're unattractive for residents in terms of job prospects, for most of the clientele to be foreign nationals. My point was that it's essentially no easier to get a job (not on OPT) in the US because you were a student in the us. H-1B applicants go through the same process either way, the only difference being that applicants on OPT are already in the country which, I reiterate, doesn't really make the H-1B application any easier.
Undergrad degrees aren't the same because the employers that (ab)use the H1B/OPT program only really want masters graduates because it avoids having to declare being an H1B dependent which comes at a cost employers don't want to bear. This is why you have universities like UT Dallas (not to single them out, this is the fact at nearly all universities I'm familiar with, it's just that UT Dallas are one of the few that publishes demographic data) with nearly 100% of its cs graduate students being foreign. It's a nice little system that works out for education institutions and employers but with definite costs to pretty much everyone else.

"This was a couple of software engineers who put this in for whatever reason"

This was a system. A complex one. No way it was done by a couple of guys at 2AM, or whatever. This has to have been inter-group collusion, and management is in CYA mode and shoving individuals under the bus.

VW has gone from being a cravenly stupid company that is going to be fined billions of dollars, to a place where I suggest it is in every engineer's best interest to resign, and the earliest opportunity they can manage.
