I still hear recommendations for Code Complete so I assume it's still useful, but haven't read it myself. A somewhat old book I like is Working Effectively With Legacy Code, I think its main premise and prescriptions can help a lot of codebases out there even if not all of them, especially those in functional languages. (Namely, your codebase will be better the more you get it under test and the more you leverage OOP design principles.)

Your code snippet looks like normal Java code to me. :) Not great that it's so common but it's at least not unusual... Being one line or more lines for that piece of code doesn't really matter to me but I'd prefer the single line in this case: I'm viewing it in an IDE, I've got more than 80 columns, and the pieces of syntax are easy enough to spot I don't need vertical cues. (Unfortunately rainbow parens still seem to be a minority preference.)

My own quick context-free review of that: is it testable in junit? Can you substitute a mock (without using something like PowerMockito) for ScopeCoordinator.getInstance() and for Scope.getFirst()? May be better to make the instance a member variable that you can mock by just passing a different one in the constructor. Why is it Scope.getFirst(), unless this method is explicitly about finding the first of something so it's clear in context? For the 'new Path<String>(SCOPE_PATH.split("\\."))' part, that looks like it's going to be the same every time and not dependent on any runtime code so why not make it a static member? (Or an instance member you can mock, or maybe the enclosing method can take a Path as an optional param with the default being the static one.) Can the design be redone to avoid the type conversion or is it too late?
> Purdue Pharma, which is 100% privately owned and operated by the Sackler family (a family worth over $14 billion,including Raymond Sackler) is well known for the very successful research and development and very aggressive marketing of the opiate and extremely addictive drug and narcotic Oxycontin.

And that's in an article which also contains fawning phrases such as

> Sackler was privileged to enjoy the friendship, advice and guidance of a host of scientific and academic experts

Anyway, neither "Sackler" nor "Purdue" show up as words in that article. So? I mean, imagine it did contain that phrase, but didn't outright state "this is a bad thing to do". Then it still would be totally up in the air whether it's a bad thing to do.

I'll just note that out of three replies the two purely abusive ones that aren't even intelligent or funny, are the top ones. Herp derp, are you Republican or on drugs, oll? Meanwhile, we at least learned something about ctrl+f, context, priorities, and the Sackler family, and the nature of people who look away. Oh my, someone saw the comment twice, everybody should downvote it. Copy & paste spamming: turn on showdead, look at their comment history, and see just how needy it is to make that connection. I'd say they went through the trouble of digging up some links on a subject they read about in the past, and after posting it here, remembered another discussion about opioids in America, where that comment is also on topic. And that's "copy paste spamming"? That's just being efficient and straightforward, to make this into anything else is where it gets twisted and sickly. All of this is interesting, but not in ways any of you are aware of.

It may be that developer tools by definition have a fairly limited market. I guess if you were to build a developer tool that succeeds in the mythical "make everyone a developer" then people would throw money at you. However, most developer tools have a very limited market: existing developers.

That said, there are some very successful developer tool companies: atlassian, github, etc.
I'd worry about phytoestrogens as well. There are compounds in plant based foods that must be consumed in moderation (as all things). A vegetarian diet is superior in many ways to the modern western diet, but not without its own risks/disadvantages.

I've lived in LA my whole life, its only been in the last 4 years or so I haven't had to have a car. I live by the redline and just use the train system. With the expo line the reach of the train system is really amazing if you remember what it was like to drive through brutal traffic to get from say hollywood to santa monica.
how did it sacrifice your marriage?
That isn't justification to say because we break law X all the time we can also break law Y. Flawed logic.
if they can make affordable plant based chicken that's as tasty and protein-packed as real chicken and veg beef that's as good as real beef, then I'm 100% in.

the biggest problem with non-meat foods (for me) has always been with their macros. I can get 32g of protein with nearly zero fat or carbs from 4oz of chicken for less than $2 a serving. Last I checked, this was not possible with alternative food.
Are you suggesting that the two are the same?

Ahhh, thank you. I was having some trouble figuring that one out but you summarized things nicely.
>Perspectives can be wrong.

Can you be selfish if you do not believe you are gaining something from it?

From Webster:

>concerned excessively or exclusively with oneself : seeking or concentrating on one's own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for others

They do not believe in vaccine's efficacy, so they are not concerned with themselves any more than others.

>arising from concern with one's own welfare or advantage in disregard of others

Same issue here.

My question is not being answered: I gave an alternative phrasing that maintained the facts, but eliminated the word selfish. Why the need to add that label? Ultimately, it's not even whether they are selfish or not. In the debate, what useful information did that word add? If I want to increase vaccination rates, will that word help me?
I'm one such commuter. I go from western Chicago burbs to north. There is no legit public trans option. It's 3 hours one way for what takes me 30 mins in no traffic.

That one appears to be an old model and is out of stock everywhere. And from the reviews, it does not seem to actually seal the lid of the pot. No better than the cutting board I currently place on top of the pot to "seal" the lid.

- "very loose fit"

- "This cover just rests on top of the Instant Pot liner. I was expecting it to "snap" on, similar to Tupperware, or something. I'm very disappointed."

Animal agriculture seems to me like one of those things that in 50 to 100 years people will look back on with bewilderment. "You mean you birthed whole animals, let them grow for two years, fed them all the while, just to kill them, chop up their remains, and ship that to people?" Plant based protein and maybe even more so cultured/clean meat (e.g. http://www.memphismeats.com/) seem likely to totally replace how we do things now.

In a lot of the Western US, water usage is based on decades-old interstate compacts, where future water rights are based on a use-it-or-lose-it system. I'm not necessarily in favor of the extreme unregulated end of the free market either, but the system as it stands seems to me to be a market distortion that incentivizes people towards heavy water-usage activities (ranching, raising of water-heavy feed crops like alfalfa), rather than what a purely free market would apportion.

It also doesn't taste like meat. I will happily eat a vegan meal that tastes good. I'll eat meat that tastes good. But I just don't see a point in buying a "soy chicken schnitzel" which does not taste like chicken at all. Why should I be interested in that product in the first place?

Hopefully one day we'll get to actually replicating the taste properly. Or growing meat synthetically. I'm happy to move to either.

I'm a vegetarian and I buy fake meats ('cause I miss meat). My theory about why they are relatively expensive is that vegetarianism is seen as "healthy" and people think that healthy things need to cost more than non-healthy things. Kind of "If it's cheap, it can't be healthy".

And that's a win-win for the companies producing it, and why I think there has recently been a surge in startups making fake meat!

Programming couldn't bring me any of the happiness that being with my children could.
Regarding the vaccine analogy I think the problem is opposite, that the positive sides to vaccines have always been accounted for but as soon as negative attributes are brought forward they're met with ad hominem or ad absurdum.

[Small rant] There are huge economical incentives to scold those who question medicines with high amounts of side effects. Do people really believe that big pharma doesn't account for a good share of the astroturfers online?

To give one example:
In Sweden a vaccine for the pigflue caused narcolepsy in completely healthy young individuals. [End rant]

The problem here is not truth or how it's used to effect but foremost the missinformation that is blocking out all traces of it.

Truth helps any discussion and creates trust - which the vast majority of societies are built on (or used to be).
Paying for it is different than a request, NSL, or other means of coercing a company to do what the government wants.

There are significant barriers to the CIA picking the locks of everyone in the world's door, that don't exist when it comes to spying on the whole world. The analogy isn't meaningful.

I'm just going to point out that Uber is sidestepping all those "useless regulations" and in the process has had issues ranging from abused customers to abused drivers or combinations of the two, repeatedly, since it's inception.

I'm not saying ALL the regulations were put in place for good reasons, and I'm not going to argue that cab companies don't have a monopoly in most places because they do indeed have that. But then to turn that around and say therefore, the Government shouldn't regulate Taxis in any capacity is equally stupid and not supported by the evidence.

And before you say "Well I didn't say they shouldn't regulate at all" please bear in mind that you just said a corporation should be able to violate laws deemed useless by that corporation and/or the general public, meaning the regulations have no teeth and therefore might as well not exist.
> You don't actually say why they shouldn't be doing this, though.

It weakens the US position in the world, how many people are going to be thinking today "Hm, I have really sensitive information on my phone, the US can hack Iphones and Androids? Maybe I need a different phone."

There is a risk due to the US intel agencies having so much power over US technology that other countries will end up shying away from US tech.

I'll be really honest... I don't think any of the stuff I've seen so far is "news". We already know our smartphones, tvs, and IOTs are very vulnerable to attack. Shouldn't we expect intelligence agencies to take advantage of it?

The only "real" news would be if the Trump administration plans to continue the illegal monitoring of US citizens without warrants from the previous administration.

By old Paris, I assume you mean the area inside the Peripherique? Apart from Montparnasse Tower the building heights inside the Peripherique are limited to seven floors. This has the same effect as San Fran on restricting the density of the inner city, which means most people can't afford to live there and put up with....long commutes.

I spent three months working in Paris and many of the younger people lived further out and had a 45min - 1hr commute by public transport or driving.

The link you posted talks about narrow streets, this is true in some areas of the city, but Paris also has many wide boulevards.

The traffic during peak hour was pretty bad - the French driving on the footpath meme has some truth to it.

Also old Paris can be like it is because the CBD is located just outside the Peripherique at La Defense.

I was lucky in that my natural schedule allows a lot of quiet thinking time without having to short shrift the family time or time with the wife.

I'm up by 430 every morning and in my office by 6, with gym time before I get in. I get a good 2-4 hours of 'me' time every single work day for learning or exploring- and it's also my most creative time of day. The gym lifts the early morning head fog and I get a lot of stuff done.

I'm almost always home by 4:30 or 5 and get a few hours of play time with the kids which usually rejuvenates me more. If I'm having a good day I may get a little exploratory work done after the kids go down, but usually I just let the mind rest a little or read some HN.

Makes sense. However, I travel frequently, but have yet to encounter this situation. In the US the taxi monopoly results in poor customer service and/or difficulty getting a ride. In the various countries I've visited outside, the wealthy countries have had slightly better Ubers than taxis. In the poor countries, I'm incredibly happy to find Uber has arrived as I no longer fear for my life or worry that I'm being cheated. And no, I'm not exaggerating. These are places where the tourism office says to avoid taking public transport for fear of robbery/murder. Thus my belief that Uber is wonderful.

I almost entirely stopped watching TV and movies. I work after they go to sleep, 2-3 nights per week.

Startup culture preaches move quickly, pivot when something doesn't work. I apply that to my development. In the past I might hammer on a bad design for two days until finally figuring out I was on the wrong path. I am much more focused now. I'd say I'm a more productive developer than I was without kids because I avoid a lot of dead ends and wasted time.

My tolerance for friction and pointless bullshit is also much lower. The main project is difficult to build and test due to lots of state? I create scripts to automate or I spin up a test project, investing an hour up front because I know it will pay off over time. In the past I wasted too much time doing things manually because it felt like extra work to automate it. There is a delicate balance here and it just takes experience to figure it out.
What isn't paid for is the cost of feed. Corn is the major foodstuff of both birds and, sadly, commercial cows. Corn is subsidized to below the cost of production by the US government.

Two weeks ago, a coworker and I were thinking through ways of implementing an extension to a library we've been writing for a client. We were drawing all sorts of things to come to a consensus of what to do. Through doing all of that, I finally experienced a real-life reason to whiteboard code, since after writing down psuedocode on the whiteboard explaining the implementation that we were agreeing upon, everyone on our team "got it" immediately.

I think whiteboard interviews are incredibly useful. We use them in our interviews, and they've been successful in helping us learn more about our candidates' abilities and for them to show us what they know.
