Stories Behind the Monolith
In Scala you can do this pretty neatly:

url match {
case GitHubUrl => config.github
case TwitterUrl => config.twitter
case _ => defaultUrl
}
There are no multiple booleans passed to the function, there are actual github and twitter URLs being passed in, and likely integrated into the config objects before being checked for existence.
That year there was a second event where a lot of people died later in the year. That happened in a weekend just before rain was forecasted. I can't confirm the criminal intent but there is no doubt that all throughout the country people were burning forest and agricultural waste just before the rain. Because of the weather conditions that started fires all over the country. One thing that changed after that dark year is that the police now takes it seriously when you call in about someone burning a pile somewhere. Whereas before this was already illegal but widely tolerated even though it is very dangerous.
Have you tried typing N multiple times? My go to method is typing I six times to get me to Ireland and it usually works.
You don't really need the `@simd` macro, though. The compiler is pretty good at vectorizing on its own now.

From the docs: "In many cases, Julia is able to automatically vectorize inner for loops without the use of `@simd`. Using `@simd` gives the compiler a little extra leeway to make it possible in more situations."
And in UK it’s used to send dickpics to strangers on the train... opendrop requires to set security level to everybody instead of contacts. If you forget to switch back to default you get instant reminder once you get onto public transport.
>"3. Hire the best engineers you can."

If every single company wants that, where is he space to grow and learn from mistakes?

Maybe I'm wrong but I think those "mediocre dev's" learned a lot building a big app from scratch, solving bugs and refactoring.
In the end I think it's a option of style in which "if" and "switch" are neither the correct match.

The goal is to define a value (a variable or return value) in which a value is always established and it's established through several checks (exclusive or not).

In this case the goal is to the definitively define a config given a URL.

The "switch" and a default condition which I think express better that a value must be defined. With "ifs" we can add more complex logic and avoid the problematic "breaks" but we loose that in your face "default" condition.

In theory it would be better to have a different control structure like "pickJustOne":

return pickJustOne(url) {
githubUrl: config.github;
twitterUrl: config.twitter;
default: config.unknown;
}

"pickJustOne" would have a companion named "pickOneByOrder" that would work like an "if" where the order of evaluation would matter.

I'm kind of astonished that they're trying to bring SolarCity back from the dead after so long. I guess they must have finally got some contracts with energy companies sorted to make this viable - because let's face it, funding solar installations with junk bonds and then selling the electricity seems like quite a capital intensive project for a company that is already capital intensive.
ahhhh ok, then I've misunderstood the code, thank you. Disregard :)
Yes, that also sucks.

Every undefined behavior in a language standard is a failure of the standard making process, and should be a source of shame. Sometimes it's politically unavoidable (because there are multiple implementations that do something different), or practically unavoidable (the best behavior is not yet known, or impossible to make precise) but every such imprecision is a landmine through which bugs, often insidious ones, can enter programs.
I had massive issues with Airdrop 2 when it first came out. After many lengthy chats with Apple support it managed to resolve itself. All I can offer and a working solution is signing out and back into iCloud on each affected device. This of course comes with the resync penalty.
You changed topic here completely. What does that have to do with different child raising standards and habits in 1950-1970 blacks vs whites?

The raising incarceration rates are mostly on black men being arrested more. So obviously, there are less black men available to form families.

They sure are. I often extract logic into a function just so I can use early returns and have less local state.

I mean, they're a recipe for disaster in C++, but I don't code much C++ anymore. In JS and similar-enough languages it's lovely.

This depends upon the state. Here in MA, you cannot stop people from being on your 'unimproved land'. In other words, people are not allowed to trample your lawn, but they are free to wander your woods. There are generally town bylaws against hunting land without the owner's permission though.
That's a nice source of bugs, if you are too quick to assume what the logic does, or what's being returned from elsewhere and just put it into the switch. I found it helpful to devote another line of code and explicitly handle the outcome of computations or return values (except of course in trivial cases).

The reduction of emissions due to efficiency does not counterbalance the increase of emissions.
I'll take cars as an example: today's engines are really more efficient than engines in the 60s but cars are bigger, there are more cars per persons, there are more people. EV are a solution, but their are not 0 emissions, the construction of course emit some carbon, the delivery of cars around the world too. If they are used in china they probably will be using coal electricity. Building, delivering and powering a EV for everyone that use thermal vehicle and an increasing number of people that buy a first car won't reduce the carbon footprint.
The reduction of emissions won't happen without scaling back the economy and/or the population.

No, you need to meet additional criteria. This is explicit in EU law [1] (and very well covered online), so I'm puzzled as to the advice you received.

Since you were looking for a legal references regarding students, note that [1] is also explicit that students should have "comprehensive sickness insurance cover" (the dispute here is whether access to NHS qualifies. UK government argues that it does not).

These are "police recorded numbers".

In England police recorded numbers for crime are not seen as statistically sound.

> In January 2014 the UK Statistics Authority published an assessment of ONS crime statistics. It found that statistics based on police recorded crime data, having been assessed against the Code of Practice for Official Statistics, were found not to meet the required standard for designation as National Statistics.

We can't compare the numbers between Japan and the US because we don't know what definition of rape is being used in each country (and for the US that definition is different for every state).

We don't know if there are cultural things that change how many people report a rape to police. We don't know if police record every report.

Here's a Human Rights Watch article about problems with the Japanese justice system's approach to rape and sexual violence: https://www.hrw.org/news/2018/07/29/japans-not-so-secret-sha...
To internalize something is to make it come naturally without reminding yourself about it every time. Practice, reading material on those topics (books like “The Design of Everyday Things”, “Notes on Graphic Design and Visual Communication”) help.

Mine is the country search box that Google uses in some places, where typing G brings up all countries that include the letter G, but in alphabetical order. Meaning “Afghanistan“ is on top, so I type “Ge“, which results in “Algeria“ being first. It’s so infuriating and makes no sense at all. Why would someone looking for Algeria search for Ge? Who on earth thought this is how people searched for their country anywhere?

Lawmakers have had plenty of time to clarify their intent. The reason they haven't added smartphones is it is politically difficult to add them to the law. Because to the average Australian, that seems like overreach. People's perception of their phones as more personal/private than most devices.

The judge could argue that the intent of the law was to avoid including smartphones, because that is clearly what they did.
And the other big problem - that is $5 a year just for your own devices. I have plenty of ways to move files from one machine to another, but if I have a file that I want to give to a family member sitting next to me, or a co-worker across the table the chances of him having the same service is zero unless I sell them on it. With AirDrop I just look at what hardware they have and immediately know if it is compatible.

As a total newbie to UX (I used to be a middleware/back-end developer :-P), I read this article differently. The article mentioned a list of things NOT to do which has its own uses. Let me give you some context:

I currently work as a PM at a startup. We don't really have a UI/UX guy since the last full-stack dev quit.
By avoiding a lot of these issues in the first place, I , as the PM can ensure that my customers don't get pissed off because my team mates have built a solid product (code quality, functionality, stability etc) but with glaring UX howlers :-). Via negativa FTW!
But it would have happened. The Sovjet Union had developed an automated retaliatory system, named 'Perimeter'. In the case of an alarm, it would have given the government executive the option to flip a switch and activate the system. Or, if there was no signal from the executive anymore and nuclear explosions are detected, the system activates by itself. If the system detects actual nuclear explosions on its territory, the retaliatory strike would be executed.

All this was mediated by command & control ICBMs (i.e. rockets without warheads but with detectors and comms) that the system would launch on warning and by switching the system on, the actual silos would respond to automated commands from these rockets. A system very hard to disable from outside.

The craziest thing about this: The Sovjets didn't even advertise this system existed but it did.

Perimeter is rumored to still be in operation, since Vladimir Putin likes to drop comments from time to time along the lines of 'we will never launch preemptively but retaliation will be swift and certain'.

Edit: typo

Edit2: So this system was created to automatically ensure retaliation even if the Sovjet union was effectively wiped out or if nobody wanted to make the decision to conduct a retaliatory strike while missiles are incoming but haven't hit yet.

Even in the UK many things have changed. Can't leave child unattended rules, what they can and can't do. Lack of spaces to hangout and play. What do they have now, no spaces in many parts and if they go out and chat together on a corner some paranoid adult will phone the police saying there is a gang of youths looking menacing - happens more than people appreciate alas.

Then drugs, many area's parents won't allow their children out to play due to fear of drug addicts (heroin/crack abusers) and paraphernalia they litter about. This with the whole social housing mess of almost litterly allocating one hard core addict per 10 normal people often see's those 10 peoples live and associated offspring blighted by some "but there a victim" mentality played out by those obfuscated from the reality of the impact such abusers bring to the area. You read about county lines and how `vulnerable addicts` are victims, yet you never hear about the impact they have upon all the other neibours. I know this, I've suffered this and more so, still suffer from this and the police etc are beyond useless. Seen parents take the law into their own hands with one case of some addicts doing crack cocaine in a car in his driveway - police called and effectively unwilling to do anything beyond take license plate so they could flag upon their `intelligence` system. SO the parent baseball batted their car, junkies called police who responded instantly and he ended up in jail.
So when you have that kind of environment, kinda hard upon the children to actually go out and play when it's not safe.

But many activities kids enjoyed as social freedoms out playing yesterday are not their today and makes you ponder what they will have tomorrow.

Hence many kids embrace the internet as it is the wild west of freedom for them to explore, a freedom that the real World outside has lost due to all the warning and keep out signs placed due to `smothering`.
Facebook Content Mods Say Company Therapists Pressured to Share Session Details
I've seen body cam footage of the "less reputable" category of cops.

The likelihood that drugs get planted in your car during a search (whether legitimate search or not) screws up all of these collected stats and just like most things in this country, there is a racist component to this that helps more easily target the poorer and browner.

Terrorizing black people is a national pastime and somewhat tradition... some cops seem to want to continue that tradition and many white legislators are glad to give them the opportunity. For them, ignoring this research is a no-brainer.
I've never had issues with iOS - discovery is near immediate every time. The only time I've had issues is when sharing with random people that have it set to contacts only and we haven't shared a contact, or if someone turned wifi off manually.

On the Mac though, it is a different story. Just yesterday my wife was trying to send me a PDF and I had to send it to my phone from her Mac, then dump it into iCloud Drive. I rebooted my Mac and then it worked again - but these are stock 2018/2019 Apple laptops, they shouldn't have these issues.
>so at the most this influence leading to false positives will cause some time wasted

That "time wasted" feels more like a psychological torture or at least a day ruined, and you ignore that cops stop mostly the same people every time, so sometimes it's a day ruined every day.

I don't believe so. I think the state would be comfortable denying phone and wifi usage to protesters congregating in public places, and the state has plenty of 'state-essential' communication mediums like loudhailers, billboards, riot police beating their truncheons against their shields etc, to fall back on.

That air-drop does work in the Hong Kong protests really just says that the state wasn't really prepared, but they probably will be next time.

Although, really, China is so far ahead in the practical application of face recognition and making protesters disappear or arranging counter-riots etc that I guess airdrop is not really where they think the fight goes?
I don't understand how the batteries can be the competitive advantage when it's Panasonic producing the batteries.
Related to this I recently found out about the origins of an old electrical distribution board under the stairs in my parents house, this was Southport, NW England. I knew it wasn old and not in use but was never removed.

Apparently the houses near the new tramway, installed about 1900, had an electricity feed direct from the tramway which passed the end of the street. I think it was possibly 600V DC from what I can see about tram power.

I’ve never researched it but having had a quick search can’t find anything specific to the houses being fed. I’ll bookmark for later as it’s an interesting step in the electrification of our towns. [1] is a link about the trams.

'Chanfana de Cabra' or 'Chanfana de Borrego' is probably the most famous recipe as wdata pointed out.

I am not sure there are a lot of recipes for this type of meat as it is claimed.

Mostly it is either slow roasted in an oven or slow cooked in a stew with some variations on stew ingredients.

The main difference is in the longer cooking time and in preparing the meat.

Traditionally people remove the lymph nodes from certain areas under the legs and some of the nearby fat tissue. Otherwis this tissue will give a really unpleasant taste/smell to the cooked meat.

I think the `switch` pattern is only applicable when you're checking for a large number of configurations that are of boolean type - ie. isReadOnly, isAdmin, isUser, isSuperUser, hasPaid, isActivated, isBanned, etc - it basically depends on your use case, unusual pattern to use, but it has its merits if applied in the right time by the right developer

case isReadOnly: // change something;

case isAdmin: doAdminStuff();

case hasPaid: updateFinance();

case isActivated: updatedUserInfo();

and so on...

I think that advice is buried in the stories the article tells, and I wish the writer had made it more clear.

I spent quite a lot of time trying to help people who were asking for general advice, and my take is that very, very few of them actually did anything with it.

Soon, I realized that answering these question privately is a complete waste of time, and switched to answering them publicly. At least then if the person ignores it, it's still there for someone else to benefit from.

Eventually, I realized that all these questions have been answered hundreds or thousands of times in the same general ways, and that anyone who cared would just use Google and find all of them. The people who are now asking the question either lack the basic awareness to use Google, or think their situation is somehow special and only very pointed advice can help them. They're wrong, of course, which means you can't really help them.

Now, I only answer questions that I feel are actually unique somehow, or that I haven't answered in a while and just want to do a little good and maybe inspire some people.

In no circumstance do I react negatively to them. I just ignore questions that bother me, rather than tell them to "Just Google It" or whatever. If they haven't figured that out, my negativity won't actually help them or anyone else.
