I don't know Elixir, but it does some questionable things. For instance, it appears to read and process the entire ascii_chars.txt file for each character in the output. It's not a big file, but it wouldn't be difficult to re

Won't treating self-signed certificates as not-errors make 1 (prevent MITM attacks) worse though? You could then MITM an https site, serve up a self-signed cert, and anyone but the most observant users won't notice that something

Having a method allows sum to be written as: return listOfTxnAmounts.stream().reduce(BigDecimal.ZERO, BigDecimal::add); rather than what you have to do for operators(unless there is a way of referencing the operators I haven't

Stream already has a max method: return listOfTxnAmounts.stream().max(BigDecimal::compareTo).orElse(BigDecimal.ZERO); (They behave differently for a list that only has negative numbers, but it seems like that isn't a part of t

I think the diagram must be slightly incorrect, else there are some odd bits. * 20 is copied into 22 unchanged * 20 = min(min(14, 15), 14) - min(14, 15), which all simplifies to 0

This demonstrates a different problem - enums are closed. If I want to add an Owl, I can't do it without editing Type. This might break the API contract (if you own the library) or not be possible (if it's a third part library). T

As others have said, the default configuration is to not order another if one is already ordered. In addition to that, you'll get a push notification from which you can quickly cancel the order. I don't know how the two combine th

When you push the button you get a push notification to your phone, which will show you the price and give you the option to cancel it, which at least gives you some way to back out if the price is hiked up.
